Can I do it?
No, really? First!
Yes.
Toonscribe, you're .. you're .. dethpicable.
Sorry, strawhat.
So who goes and calls sheets?
Oh well. Even the best get thrown out at first.
I'll call sheets.
I'll run down & do it. Should that be a new custom? The one who almost gets first gets to run down ^ call sheets?
Uh, oh. I've already been down and called them.

Ted you fucker, why did you tell them to use my plane, I'm going to cut your dick off everyday when you join me in Hell!
I was wondering today how long Atrios was going to live the high life in Europe. It's been what, a month at least? That Soros money must be nice.

sorry bout that - been as always thinking about you.
sallyh: that's grand news. Do they know of his recent drug use, stashes, like that?
Sallyh: excellent. Keep us apprised.
Dear Fred,
You may truly be the "Law and Order" candidate, but you're a doddering old asshat. So fuck off.

Thank fucking Dog.
Thank you. Ex threatened to take the baby away and only allow Mlle supervised custody. Claimed I was institutionalized twice for trying to commit suicide. (Not true).

Sally, dude needs to do a stretch in jail right now. I'm sure most of this community who are or were defense attorneys concur.

Thank you. Ex threatened to take the baby away and only allow Mlle supervised custody. Claimed I was institutionalized twice for trying to commit suicide. (Not true).
Whew. Boy, sallyh, just from what you've posted here, it sounds like the sooner he's out of all your lives for good, the better for all concerned.
Thank you. Ex threatened to take the baby away and only allow Mlle supervised custody. Claimed I was institutionalized twice for trying to commit suicide. (Not true).
That poor baby. Thank dog she's too young to remember any of this.
President Bush, who most of you abhor, has once again done a masterful job of holding the Republicans together while making the Democrats look weak and divided regarding Iraq. This 30% President will have his way in Iraq while majority Democrats stand around with a thumb up their ases. Iraq will not be lost on President Bush's watch.

Iran is not going to be attacked. An interesting, truly unusual, genuine new development in a Middle East that always seemed stuck in a loop has rendered destabilizing bloodthirsty rumors to their proper place as mere rumors.

Fred Thomson is the "Law and Order Candidate" in the sense that he belongs to Nixon's time.
No, he's the "Law and Order" candidate because that was the show he was on. That's all he's got to offer -- questionable star power. He really is the most obvious heir to Ronald "Death Valley Days" Reagan.
ProfWombat, we believe he is jeopardizing the well being of Maddy. And it was interesting how they decided, after finding out his parole status, that CPS decided to go there tonight.

Well, hoo-rah.
What's it going to take? A fucking cadaver to be left on your doorstep? Stop youir fucking whining about this little shit and do something about it.
Quite frankly, it's getting tiresome listening to you come in to this site, pissing and moaning about the entire situation.
Do something about it, for fucks sake!.
Stop your sniveling shit, and looking for someone to say to you, "oh, we support you, dear!".....

Sallyh,
I sincerely hope this works out to best for all concerned. I have not voiced an opinion for I really know so little about the subject that whatever I would say would be of little benefit. But please don't construe my silence as not caring for that would not be correct: I just don't know what to tell you to do.
I hope you understand and that you seek the advice of a person trained and experienced in working within these systems.
General Zod - until tonight I really did not understand why people had a problem with you.
Now, I do understand.
The last Neanderthal persons are believed to have lived in Andalusia, Spain c. 26,000 B.P.
Not that I'm implying any geographic coincidence.
But it does, for me, connote a sacred weight to Spain.
ProfWombat, we believe he is jeopardizing the well being of Maddy. And it was interesting how they decided, after finding out his parole status, that CPS decided to go there tonight.
Would they not charge him with kidnapping?

I don't think she was directing any of her comments to you, Zod. Why don't you just mind your own fucking business?
Evening all... I realize Hecate is long gone but I am posting this anyway since I finally caught up to the end of a thread:
Note to Hecate: Saw your request to Jeffraham for an invocation to the Rain Goddess involving water-throwing. In keeping with the spirit of the thing, while noting that we are in no position to tell rain to go away quite yet as we are still 20+ inches short of normal rainfall this year, I propose (and will myself perform as well) this alternative phrasing--
Rain, rain, share your bounty
Please do spread to Hecate's county
And to everybody else: please quit quoting the Annoying Person du Nuit, it ruins the entire effect of killfile and also accomplishes nothing but making it happy. It's not like the person is going to quiet down and engage in reasonable discussion, is it?
thank you....oh, and drinking margaritas here. Temps in the mid 80s are a great improvement over the 100+ of the last month but still entirely warm enough to justify continuation of summer beverage habits.

Wow, Zod, you really have some issues. Reading comp being only the least of them.
Sallyh, Please don't let him get to you - you need your strength for what's going on in your life. waste not one second on him. and get killfile.
zod - I think I fucked a guy like you's wife once.
Hell, I'm gay as the Macys Parade and I fucked her.
Zod needs to kiss the front bumper of a fast moving car.
Zod is under a lot of stress what with him single-handedly manning a trench on the Siegfried Line over in the sand.
You know, these milk chocolate peanut butter maltballs from Trader Joe's aren't too bad.
I hated winning, sometimes, as a defense attorney.
It felt pretty good that I kept the podunk local poh-lice from railroading somebody without money.
But my clients usually had *some* degree of culpability, and often, I surmised it was a lot of it.
Uncle Blodge, I just engaged in killfiling the Zod.
The pause that refreshes
sallyh: they really had no choice but to go there tonight. And all to the good for the custody issue that'll come up. His lawyer may have given him advice, but it was bad advice, in my opinion, and it'll cost him if he tries to follow it. The main thing is to get Maddie out of his hands, and get a restraining order on him.
General Zod, I hope you die a long and miserable death. A quick one would be too good for you.

hey, don't get down on Zod, the local animal shelter is closed for repairs, so he ain't had any sex for a few days. Zod gets an edge, and says things he really shouldn't, when he can't stick it up the ass of some frightened and hungry labrador retriever.
Yes, and killfile proved its worth yet again.
"The pause that refreshes "
Indeed - I don't know why I don't get it.

Apropos of nothing, my wife and I have a pottery stand at the end of the driveway that I operate on the weekends=, and today I found a $20 bill tucked under one of the pieces. Some nice soul bought a piece this a.m., left a $20 for it, and drove off when we weren't home. Total honor system. Augusta, Maine is not a bad place to live.

Maybe he should be more direct, head for a grocery store, throw himself on the floor in the candy aisle and have a really good tantrum.
Mrs. Ibrahim, you made me laugh
I got this one Coast Guard dude off of a DUI charge, when he was so toasted, that he fell out of his Camaro, and somehow had the vehicle in reverse, with the front wheel jammed up against his leg, with him essentially under the vehicle.
And that's how the Virginia State Trooper found him.

Oh wow, Torchwood premier on BBC America now. I almost missed it, thinking it started in a couple weeks.
But don't quote it.
Yes, Pavarotti had a voice the likes of which comes along once in a century, I swear it. The warmth, the range, the expressivity -- amazing. And the Tribune's music critic wrote that Pavarotti didn't really read music, isn't that astonishing? That means that that gorgeous, amazing voice was barely trained. Un-be-lievable.

Thank you Sally, that is very nice, and all my best thoughts to you. I have been saving this little story all day for you folks. It is one of those simple but profound incidents that helps to wash away the bad and keep us hoping for better.
Hey Rors, if yer still lurking....sorry to hear of domestic difficulties but remember hearing one time that the three biggest strains on a marriage were having a kid, buying a house and moving. 2 out of 3 you've just gone through and an outbreak of discord is surprising?
Buck up, practice whatever meditative techniques you prefer, and apologize abjectly. Whatever the argument was about and whether you were right or not is hardly important. Just apologize. It shows good intentions.
"Now that Zod has achieved his purpose of getting thread to pay attention to him..."
I think I am a pretty mellow sort - but I am not about to forget what he did here - the stuff earlier with Ntodd was bad but what he did to our sallyh was just WRONG. Pretty close to unforgivable.

Zod after what you've said tonight you have no right to lecture anyone on their humanity.

You are right. Honor system boxes are very common at little farm stands in Maine and Massachusetts, probly elsewhere, but all I know is Maine and Mass. You take some sweet corn, put the money in the box, and drive off. It's quite nice to ponder cuz it is real.
I think I am a pretty mellow sort - but I am not about to forget what he did here - the stuff earlier with Ntodd was bad but what he did to our sallyh was just WRONG. Pretty close to unforgivable.

Yeah, sure, Uncle -
And when it happens for real - don't bitch at me. This kind of shit goes on and on, and everyone in here listens to this person enable it, day after day.
So sure, call me an ass for letting you all know what's going to happen unless someone does something about it know. Until then keep your condescending tones and bullshit to your self, huh?
"If you killfile your enemy, and then all your unkillfiled friends quote the bastard..."

As a person who has had run ins with the inimitable NTodd, I have to weigh in here. That was TRULY unforgivable. We've all come here seeking some sense of community, whether for good reasons or bad (Trolls). Sallyh is in a very vulnerable position, and that needs to be respected. We should try to stay away from purely ad Hominem attacks, even when having heated discussions on important issues. Some rules of decorum need to be observed.
Pretty close to unforgivable.
Uncle Blodge,
He's done this at least three times in the last eighteen months. When he gets everyone upset, he makes a speechifyin' post about how he's been playing us for weeks, and will be back to do it again, and start engaging people, then pick fights, then make his little speech again....

God forbid that people should communicate and connect. That must be a horrible thing to you.
General Dogfucker and His Merry Band of Stray Mongrels, they have tea parties with biscuits. The band starts to whimper, however, when the General beings to lube himself.
The Humane Society is awre of the problem, and has released a bulletin to all the local shelters. Unfortunately, the "free to good home" classifieds is still a steady supply.
poor pooches, but how and why the General has such an overwhelming prediliction for canine rectum is something only the local district authorities can discover.
Sallyh, a couple few weeks I ago posted some stupid shit about "trailor parks and white trash"
re your situ. I cannot apologize enough. There is no hate like self-hate, and I have lived in the trailor park and I have been in America's jails. No excuses.
That boy needs to be locked down, and G'Zod? Take a nap.
When he gets everyone upset, he makes a speechifyin' post about how he's been playing us for weeks, and will be back to do it again, and start engaging people, then pick fights, then make his little speech again....
But its OK.
Zod's a War Commenter.
Zod - as if what you said was helpful. like sallyh does not know what the risks are - like she is not trying to do what she can as you struggle to get the top off the fucking pringles.
I will call you an as because you are acting like one.
Really - I used to wonder what the problem was. I thought you weren't so bad. I see I was wrong.
Condescending tones? - ok how about this - fuck off and die, you loser motherfucker.
That better?
Fuck NTodd, he owes me 15 bucks and a reach around.
"then make his little speech again....
Jim"
Again, attention seems to be the traget. Also sounds a lot like Incog.
nod your heads, tell her you all agree, and continue to let the abuse continue...... yeah, that's the answer, Uncle Blodge..... Fuck you and whatever you think is unforgivable. If by being an ass I wake someone up, then fine, that's what happens.
Don't judge someone you don't know, pal. I've seen the whole abuse thing happen too close for comfort myself. Just keep saying, oh, it will get better, oh, someone will stop it, oh, don't butt in.....
next thing you know, someone's being buried.
sorry if the truth hurts, Unk.

I have nothing further to say to Zod. Gratuitous cruelties toward people I care about (two tonight; others in the past) will do that.
Zod thinks everyone here is a dumbass and he's lord and god.
Go fuck yourself asshole.
nod your heads, tell her you all agree, and continue to let the abuse continue......
Where the fuck have you been, dorkmeister? We've been advising calling the cops, getting a restraining order, removing Mlle and Maddie from the situ. We actually care, as opposed to you, who only want to lord over us some weird sense of superiority.
Go tell it to the Marines, you flukeraping buttmunch.

I do hope that is in the public domain.

"

I think that needs defining first. Maybe a Wiki article to itself.
"I think that needs defining first. Maybe a Wiki article to itself."
yeah - but you just know it's a good one.
People like Zod haven't one fucking clue, because nothing much has happened to them, so they think they are free to dictate how everyone ought to respond to the veryt stimuli they are unfamiliar with. Well.....wrong. Eh?

I'm not seeing it as the same... am i wrong?
Fluke raping ?
NTODD is now the officially teh koolest at the 95 percent confidence interval, with Chi squares.
Nobody except a fluke, being a summer flounder common along the sandbars of Buzzards Bay and southern New England, has ever used that expression before on-line in a viciously pejorative manner toward a troll.
"flukeraping buttmunch"
Oh, that is...Pure Genius. I have to hand it to you..
"flukeraping buttmunch"
Wow...
But Bush was still in on 9/11..
Lost the cable broadband for a few minutes. Anything untoward happen while I was gone?

How are you?
Mighty good eating, flukes. I'd reserve them for that purpose, m'self...
Hey, Uncle Blodge!!!!
I've had a so-so day. Missing my g'dtr a lot, so have been weepy. But...I'll get by.
You?
"Anything untoward happen while I was gone?"
Bush resigned, world peace ensued. Putin even put his shirt back on.
otherwise, not much.
Zod is obviously an attention whore. The best way to deal with a troll like that is to ignore him completely. He will eventually give up and find another board to haunt. Don't waste your breath, folks. And my sympathies as well, Sallyh.
Toons, did you lose power as well? We did at this end of the Valley.
We moved here about a year and a half ago, and can't get over how great it is. We want to yell about it, but don't want to let the secret out...

I would so love to move to Maine. the coast, or maybe along a river. we would grow apples and daniel and elizabeth could learn to kayak.

You are so correct.
"Pope urges rediscovery of Christianity"
used to always ask "have you found god?" did the christians.
Mrs. Ibrahim, I know you're exhausted, but the joy you convey in parenting Elizabeth and Daniel shimmers. You and Ibrahim are wonderful parents.
sallyh: did you make printed copies of Mr X's e-mails? Probably did, but just thinking of every i i can dot...
Bush resigned, world peace ensued. Putin even put his shirt back on.
That would be considered toward, not untoward.
Toons, did you lose power as well? We did at this end of the Valley.
Nope. Didn't lose power or the cable phones or tv. My little flickery box kicked me and young Master Toons off the intertubes and wouldn't reconnect. I tried a trick from the last time we lost the broadband -- unplugged the power cable to the flickery box for 10 seconds, then reconnected it and let it reset. Worked like a charm.
Ah, Sallyh.....some days are better than others. Today has been a stinker. I ache for her, my beautiful girl.
All I can do is remind myself that she is no longer in pain.
I am currently concerned about your lovely Madison and your beautiful Mlle. I demand safety for them! I know you and Monsieur will do everything you can to make it so.

Mais oui. Fluke are the best fish I have ever eaten. Unbelievable. We wrap the fillets with summer squash in tinfoil packages and put them on the coals of a camp fire. They steam themselves in about 10 minutes. Wow ...

Heh. I just started it the other night. It's a lot of fun.
Christianity was misplaced around the time of the great Spanish rape of the New World in the Vatican All Gold Room.

amen to that!!!
ProfWombat, oh yes. Have them saved.
Mlle got a book on DV today. She was crying. It described her situation to a T.
Actually, until this evening, we had a great day, Mlle and I. We shopped for La Bebe and went to the bookstore and had breakfast together.
It's been a long time since I was allowed to be alone with my daughter. No, seriously.
Wicked sweet, fluke. Great to feed a kid who thinks he doesn't like fish...
There was this storm that arrived last night, the while I was watching it, struck a high tension line. About two seconds later, two HV transformers blew up, blacking out the whole area.
They produced a nice shower of sparks, and this lovely UV flash. Today I heard it also took out a bunch of data lines running to a few stores (no ATM, debit or credit cards working at those places)
Though my power dropped for a few hours, my surge suppressors worked well enough that no electronics here were damaged. I had to reset some breakers.
Sallyh, sorry to see the SIL situation spiraling down.
Mrs. Blues and I spend the day picking out tile for the kitchen and bath remodels, and buying sinks and a kitchen faucet.
Fucking fool. Doesn't he know you don't mess with an Irishwoman?

Jail gets these sociopaths' attention, believe me.

I predict it will be in proximity to God's comb and extra lighter.
Oh and the drill chuck that is always somewhere else.
Putin even put his shirt back on.
He did? Fuck! And to think I was almost ready to change my team jersey.

So today, we were at a picnic -- DH is part of a charitable org and today was the annual picnic. Gorgeous day for a picnic, btw. It's an interesting crowd -- there's a Spanish-speaking chapter, and a little group of Irish immigrants, and a bunch of nort'west side Polish -- a fun crowd for a picnic, believe me.
Anyway. It's about time to close up shop, so DH & I are folding up the volleyball net that he'd borrowed from a colleague & brought, and these two lovely little girls, maybe 5 or 6, come strolling up, holding hands, and ask "Whatcha doing?" And since DH is busy tucking the volleyball net into its case, I engage: "Putting away the volleyball net." "Why?" "Well, it's about time to start getting ready to go." "Doesn't it stay here?" "No, he brought it," pointing at DH. "Why?" "So people could play with it." "Why?" "Cause that's what people do for picnics, bring food for people to eat and games for people to play." "Oh. That's a nice thing to do." And the silent one handed me a flower -- a red clover blossom.
Wasn't that sweet?

I find it interesting that most of those who vilify “conspiracy theorists” do so by first constructing a straw man argument. NTodd had so many strawmen thrown up and slapped around yesterday, I had staw in my hair and out my ears all the while accusing us of throwing up strawmen. For instance, by definition a conspiracy involves more than one person. That’s it. It does not necessarily involve 3 nor 3,000 participants. It only requires more than one. Given that fact, in the case of JFK’s murder (which he conviently ignores because 90% of the American people think Oswald didn't act alone instead of the Moon Landing Conspiracy), it is in the interest of the guilty parties and in the interest of any party with something to gain from a cover-up, to inappropriately cast the word “conspiracy” in a light that obfuscates its true meaning and cast “theorists” into a category which limits their ranks to those who subscribe to a belief in a massive plot that encompasses not only the individual theorist’s pet scenario, but also includes every other theory ever postulated by anyone, anywhere, at anytime…
It is interesting, albeit tragic, to see the agency’s signature in what I like to call: domestic perception programs. Long before the revelation of the violations of law that are contained in the recently released CIA Family Jewels, we have the agency’s own prescription on “how to” discredit critics of the Warren Report. If you recall, the majority of the recommendations were designed as methods of debunking dissenting arguments without any regard for the validity of the argument being debunked nor the veracity of the facts being offered in rebuttal.
Unfortunately, there are times when individuals pick up on the same tactics who probably have no super sinister interest in further obstructing justice…just a micro-management issue with their own personal paranoia that they may not be living in a world within their neat little vision after all. They reflexively jump to their own safe conclusions...
NTodd... did you ever read the book or see the movie "Holes"?
And the silent one handed me a flower -- a red clover blossom.

Why do you think he has no access to dyes? He's in Pakistan, which in general supports his cause. Do you think they have no concept of hair dye?
Max P, that seems a reasonable assessment.
Toby Petzold is stupid.
Someone had to say it.
Who up yonder said he just picked out *tile*? Boy oh boy, I love tile. We redid our kitchen a couple years ago & (being that we're cheap) I took a little half-hour course at Home Depot to learn how to set tile myself. And so I did -- I picked out tile (tumbled travertine and some decorative mosaics), bought the tools (cheap) & grout & stuff, and set the tile for the backsplashes all around our kitchen. I was SO PROUD. It's not hard, just calls for patience & planning & precision (like sewing), and the results are so totally worth it.
Now I wouldn't tackle a project like a bathroom -- but a kitchen backsplash was fun. And it turned out really nice.

You were gone before I caught up with the end of the thread so I was unable to render advice or thoughts in general, but it seems that neither was needed.
Let me guess...what's bothering you is the guilt you feel over the relief you felt when she finally died and was no longer suffering.
Been there, gone through that. It was still a right thing to feel, so don't beat yourself up over it. Any more than you can't avoid I mean. Sure as hell doesn't mean you loved her any less.

I wouldn't dare try to do any of this stuff myself. I have ZERO patience and get frustrated with tasks that require precision.
Depending on the quotes, we will go stone or ceramic in the bath. For the kitchen, we have selected the backsplash ceramics and tile pattern.
We're about 90% sure we are going with quartz for the countertops, but are going to look at granite just to see. We may go with some of each - quartz for the back part of the kitchen and granite for the peninsula in the great room.

Most go with granite countertops. Ceramic tile for the backsplash. Make sure they seal where the countertops and backspash meet with silicon. They can get that that'll match where they get the grout.

In the most gorgeous colors, too. And so many. How to decide?!?! Amazing stuff you can do with stone tile.

Shhh ... I've been stealing construction materials from the road project across the street. Shh ....
This is why hardware stores should not be allowed to sell Sawzalls to just anyone off the street.
An electrician once looked at the damage I had caused around the fuse box, the scorched paint, the melted powerline fallen onto the ground and remarked, "Jesus Christ! I bet they felt that jolt all the way back to Boulder Dam!"
Darryl Pearce
I completely shattered a toliet tank once trying to fix it...
But let's get back to Olbermann sounding like a speechwriter for Osama bin Laden.
Just admit it.
Cutting a hole in the house roof and putting in a skylight with an old window from your aunt's barn ... how could anything go wrong with that ?
A Navajo I used to work with told me when someone died in a house, the traditional people would knock a hole in the wall of the house, (to let the ghosts of the dead out) and would abandon their hogan. This explains what I saw in No. Az., lots of hogans apparently abandoned, with a huge hole in the building.
It all goes back to Mungo Jerry and the Karmic Wheel.
It's called having a good time. I'm just raving.
Fixed your typo....
"An electrician once looked at the damage I had caused around the fuse box,"
they used to ask me all the time what can I do to get my furnace restarted - I said look I'd rather come out and hit the reset than spend an hour trying to undo the damage you did.
Why do you think he has no access to dyes? He's in Pakistan, which in general supports his cause. Do you think they have no concept of hair dye?
NTodd, Pig-headed Coward
They have no concept of GOOD color. I tell those Paki bints when they're doing my beard: "in America, we have four seasons, dust is not one of them, ululating bitches."
"On a lighter note, how about some good flashback music.
David (Austin Tx) "
Um ... yeah.
And then there was the time I almost started a fire in the communal outhouses in a campground...
Toby, eat the pudding.
Most go with granite countertops. Ceramic tile for the backsplash. Make sure they seal where the countertops and backspash meet with silicon. They can get that that'll match where they get the grout.
Pinhead McPhearson
There's a LOT of countertop in this design, and I feel that all the gloss of granite will look too formal. But as an accent on a peninsula and nearby banquet...
And 10-4 re sealing.
It's called having a good time.
Yes, dear. That's precisely what I mean. Someone who maintains that having a good time is going to a place where everyone hates them and being as obnoxious as possible in the hope that you'll piss someone off and have an argument with them is seriously sick in the head. You need help. If you weren't such a prick, I'd pity you, but that's often the result with a sociopath like you.
But let's get back to Olbermann sounding like a speechwriter for Osama bin Laden.
Just admit it.
In the immortal words of steve simels....
The Lusitania? In the same breath with the Tuskegee studies? You sure?
Thing is, moving from robbing gas stations to banks, even if the bank is right across the street from the gas station, changes everything.
Then the Feds get jurisdiction.
"And then there was the time I almost started a fire in the communal outhouses in a campground..."
We are waiting.

My great uncle Wesley Watts was a blind electrician in North Easton, Mass. He could not drive, cuz he was legally blind, so he rode a bicycle with his electrician stuff in a metal box in the basket. When he was about 80, Uncle Wesley put in all the circuit breakers and new fuse boxes in our house and my father had to sit there in the cellar and tell him what color the wires were.
NTodd, Pig-headed Coward | Homepage | 09.09.07 - 1:00 am |
That's the least important thing. Let's grant that everything Chomsky et al ever wrote is translated and delivered promptly to wherever Osama's dead white-haired body lies. The tapes still stink of burnt Reichstag.
As Egon said, Toby has "...lost the capacity for rational thought."
"I completely shattered a toliet tank once trying to fix it..."
I hit a toilet with a hammer cause I was tired of trying to get the "stickup" out of it.
Only way to do that is to take the thing outside and run a hose through it upside down.
over an hour later and the fucking thing wasn't out - we tried everything. so - BOOM
All I can say is don't use matches to change your clothes and then throw the match in the toilet... that has no water in it.
The match lit up the toilet paper down in the tank.
I almost called for someone to come and pee on it. But luckily it burned out.
That is a sight I do not want to see illuminated ever again....
Granite is just great in a working kitchen. Doesn't scratch easily, a pleasure to work on...
strawhat:
The bath is all in colors of sand and cream, very soft flat finish, with accent rows of 1" glass tile in a glass finish. Very beautiful and soothing. All the plumbing is brushed nickel finish.
If you're having the backsplash done with square ceramic tile, have them offset. Diamond shape. If it doesn't cost more or don't care. You'll be much happier with the look. You wont have the grout lines running horizontal across the backsplash wall.

First of all, Toonscribe, I don't accept your premise. The people here don't hate me; in fact, they love me.

Toby doesn't know a damn thing about metallurgy.

J&A, you abuse too much of History.
Because of the size of our kitchen (small), the side of the house the kitchen's on (north), the climate (cold), the age of the house (old), the state of the insulation (not much), and so on, we chose Corian countertops in a matte speckled sage green. We didn't want the house to settle any more from the weight of stone countertops, and stone is a heat sink. We're pleased with how the Corian turned out, too.
But I'll tell you what, I'm never remodeling anything else again as long as I freakin' live.

Exactly what we're doing. 4" squares in a diamond pattern, with 1" accent pieces of black glass put in at some of the junctions. Colors are a sandy beige with some grey swirl in it. The appliances are black and stainless. The granite will be predominantly black.

Talk about Kabuki. The number one boogyman of America. He shows up with a markedly different appearance. Dyed beard or not, his right eyelid is drooping markedly. Where is the discussion over whether he has suffered a stoke or other illness. Instead the serious talking heads go on about how young and vigourous Osama looks.

Oh! You can get a couple tiles cut for your light switches & outlets & such & have them right in the pattern! I sent a couple of my tumbled travertine tiles off & this guy custom-cut them to fit the light switches we had bought. Perfect! And we used outlet strips right up under the cabinets.

Economic theory dating back to the publication of Adam Smith's The Wealth of Nations in 1776 em-phasizes the lesson that basic institutions that protect the liberty of individuals to pursue their own eco-nomic interests result in greater prosperity for the larger society. Perhaps the idea of freedom is too sophis-ticated, as popular support for it constantly erodes before the onslaught of populism, whether democratic or autocratic. Yet modern scholars of political economy are rediscovering the centrality of "free institutions" as fundamental ingredients for rapid long-term growth. In other words, the techniques may be new, but they reaffirm classic truths. The objective of the Index is to catalog those economic institutions in a quantitative and rigorous manner.

Global economic freedom holds steady, but there is much room for improvement. The average economic freedom score is 60.6 percent, the second highest level since the Index began in 1995 and down by 0.3 percentage point from last year. Each region has experienced an increase in economic freedom dur-ing the past decade.
Former British colonies in Asia lead the world in economic freedom. Hong Kong has the highest level of economic freedom for the 13th straight year. Singapore remains close, ranked second in the world, and Australia is ranked third freest economy in the world, which means that the Asia–Pacific region is home to the top three economies.

I don't know if you ever watch HGTV (yes, I know, gaii!!) but there's a show called Divine Design, and there was an episode on this afternoon about a master bathroom redo for a gay couple.
One of the was a ballet dancer, so the finished bath had a steam shower AND a tub with air jets. All finished in glass tiles. The room with the steam shower and tub was had a door separating it from the rest of the bath, with a louvered transom above.
Looked like something from a chi-chi boutique hotel. Amazing (and probably about $50 K)
Economic freedom is strongly related to good economic performance. The world's freest countries have twice the average per capita income of the second quintile of countries and over five times the average income of the fifth quintile of countries. The freest economies also have lower rates of unemployment and lower inflation. These relationships hold across each quintile, meaning that every quintile of less free econo-mies has worse average rates of inflation and unemployment than the preceding quintile has.
That's my girlfriend, mimi.

Dude I want my gfe!
Thanks for the link strawhat! Favorite added
I have off-white corian and I like it with my black walnut cabinets.
Hers is white- she just bleaches any stains.
I want black counters, and I don't really like the black corian- the black silestone is more interesting.
...that was years ago. Decades, even.

There is a clear relationship between economic freedom and numerous other cross-country variables, the most prominent being the strong relationship between the level of freedom and the level of prosperity in a given country. Previous editions of the Index have confirmed the tangible benefits of living in freer socie-ties. Not only is a higher level of economic freedom clearly associated with a higher level of per capita gross domestic product, but those higher GDP growth rates seem to create a virtuous cycle, triggering fur-ther improvements in economic freedom. Our 13 years of Index data strongly suggest that countries that increase their levels of freedom experience faster growth rates.

By the time I actually BUY a place I'll probably change my mind about what I want.
I like blowing stuff out my ass, particularly when I have know understanding of it.
I don't know if you ever watch HGTV (yes, I know, gaii!!) but there's a show called Divine Design, and there was an episode on this afternoon about a master bathroom redo for a gay couple.
Watching it now 
I blame Mrs. Blues' unhealthy addiction to HGTV for this whole thing. jk
Not the best pic, but shows some of my counter and cabinets.
No tub in the master bath. Walk in steam shower. We are having storage niches framed in and tiled to match. 1/2" thick clear glass door with brushed nickel hardware to match the plumbing.
Have you thought about having them put a little seat in there in the corner. Doesn't take alot of space. They're great to just sit there and have the water fall on you while sudsing up.
You don't need nice counters and cabinets to be happy.
...I'll post pictures soon, but:
Wood cabinetry, blue tile countertops framed in wood, wood drawers, sand-colored tile with dials. We knocked out two walls to open the kitchen to the dining and the living areas.
Upstairs, new bath and bedroom (took out one room to expand both). Grey green tile in the bath (here a picture with Caesar!), walk-in glass-enclosed shower.
Nice feral.
Two lemons, bering grease, grunions.
What are you bottling Feral?
What this index of economic freedom clearly demonstrates is a link between being rich and being happy and the poor are sad, angry, dangerous people.
The Hollies' Long Cool Woman reminds me of high school.

FeralLiberal..., we're making some port for Yuletide giveaways. I'll make one-half with rum, the other with brandy.
I need to learn how to set tile. I've watched it being done so many times I feel like I already know how.
I'm sure I'm wrong though.
Ferel, I have that same fish bottle. I put olive oil and dried spices in mine.

Yup, there will be a bench that seats two on the opposite side of the shower as the showerhead and sprayer.

That was a batch of red currant and one of black raspberry wine.

just popped up on my i-pod.
What about two showerheads, one on each side? Now's the time to decide...
A screw is actually a species of a wedge.
I am mesmerized by a blackhead in my groin.

Yeah, well whatever.
In the steam shower on the show today they put in these teak benches that were kind of stackable. So they served as a seat, but you could unstack them and make them a chaise thingee and just lay there with the rain heads (3 of them!!!) cascading down on you.
It was true bathroom porn.
What do you call those things used by land surveyors?
What about two showerheads, one on each side? Now's the time to decide...
Oh, definitely.
You gotta put in all those directional jets, a rain shower head and a hand held one.

Rainhead showerheads are difinitely the way to go.

The shower hardware was the first thing we bought. Well, second. After ordering the cabinets. One adjustable head plus a handheld unit.
Gfe for the plonkers is girlfriend experience. Which is what most Eschaton is to me, mostly.

What are you using as a base for your port?
Do the showerheads unscrew?
I really don't give a shit about surveying, I'm trying to engage.
Okay, now that my headache has finally subsided, it's time for me to do a little writing so that tomorrow isn't a complete horror show.

...um, er, uh... an unremarkable red of some sort. It's in the five-gallon now bubbling up a storm.

Mrs. Blues doesn't like them. Big water wasters.
We did a tankless water heater mounted outside the house. Energy efficient and freed up a lot of space for the kitchen that was wasted on a closet for the 40gal tank.
I remember libraries where people smoked. It was required for young intellectuals.
Le Jackel,
can we get a room?
an unremarkable red of some sort
Nothing wrong with that

Well, no flirting, of course.
Dang, I need some papers.
I also remember the Easter Bunny slain by Mr. Clean. Doesn't that excite you, Le Jackel?
Oh well. Eyelids drooping. Time for sleepy times. Nytol!
Is haloscan being weird?
I've been trying to make a black raspberry port by using a high alcolhol yeast. Best I've done so far is 17%. I'm toying with the idea of making the wine, then distilling part of it and blending it back into the wine.

...isn't that just wine and brandy then--kinda like port?
Welp, Milton Friedman's Chilean economic miracle writ large, known as the Washington Consensus, proceeds apace! Can't wait to hear Broder bloviate with Timmy on the evil liberal agenda, as supported by Atrios, and Bin Laden. In other words, if I don't go to sleep now, I'll miss the Sunday Morning bullshit MSM "news" programs. Stephanopoulos' hair is worth the price of admission. Maybe I'll just watch Washington Journal. Can't go wrong with the span, man. Nighty -Night!!

Any port in a storm.
I went to a meeting today in Los Angeles put on by the PAC for California for Gore, which is trying to get volunteers to get Al Gore's name on the California Presidential Primary.

Well, I've never been to England,
But I dig the shit out of the Beatles.
Honestly dear, wasn't there that moment? We confronted each other. Man and woman. I thought I was more eager but, my dear, you enveloped me first. When my love could stand it no more, I stood you up and kissed you like there was infinity, and it was mine to bestow.

Tks, Mr French.
No kidding, the Beatles delivered enough top-notch goods, over such an extremely fluid cultural period, that their aura will never be approached.
Suck on it, Mick.
Suck on it, Mick.
Agreed.
...naive as I may be, I never knew some of this stuff existed.
Thank goodness for bootlegs!
Now a pillow is calling my name...
The Beatles' Abbey Road is a pop music masterpiece, wrought during a time when the band members couldn't fucking stand each other.
When a Stone dies, if that ever will happen, it will be nothing compared to when a Beatle dies.
