Linda - thanks for the info I will check it out. I am getting t-shirts for my DD's. I am not putting my DISboard name or their names on their t-shirts though, because I don't think they would like that.

GaRry....got your PM....tried to answer, but your box is full!!!


Put the picture of the little lizard in my album, here's the link:www.photobucket.com/albums/v444/justmestace/

I'm not getting shirts for the kids. They draw the line at dressng like Mom & Dad, and a bunch of other people they don't know, and who (to them, anyway) are not cool!

No buttons, either. Don't want their names out there for all to see. Jordan does have a pendant that says "If lost, please return to Room 8602. Jordan." It was a gift, I don't know where my friend bought it.

Time to head to the office, don't want to push my luck too much!

DH just came in and told me "we need to order shirts!" Yes, Boss! And now I'm confused. I know our sizes, color preferences, and I'm thinking we already picked the designs, but which ones? DD would be mad if we got shirts and she didn't, so I'm getting her one. Whether she wears it remains to be seen, but she's likely to wear it at home, even if not on the ship. She likes t-shirts from places she's been.

Cute Gila monster, Stacey. DD likes those too. She likes most little things, but no bugs. Did it survive?

Here's hoping that Ivan's eye disentegrates like Frances' did before hitting land. Nasty, nasty hurricane, and there's not much land left to slow it down.

Hearing about Sophie yesterday made me very sad. I feel so bad for that family.

Hi all - checking in at lunch. Looks like a very busy morning on the thread.

Dee - great articles - thanks for sharing and we want you to stay!

GaRry - I've pm'd you our shirt order but you haven't picked it up yet

Stacey - got your e-mail and have replied. Ignore my question about the kids buttons - I sent that before I read here.

Glad to hear we are docking in St. Lucia. I think we finally have our excursions picked out and ready.

 

[ohiominnie]

GarRy,
Here's another person who's waited until now to order shirts. So I've ignored all the decisions already made about them. Which designs are we going with? What colors can we pick? I remember some discussion about how the color you pick will affect the islands, or something like that. What's that about?

Happy Monday everyone!

Treated myself to a manicure & pedicure today because I actually made it to the gym. I walk everyday, but it just isn't cutting it. Only down 5 lbs , 10 more to go. I would like another 5 off before Food and Wine fest, so thats my next goal.

I think I'll get the kids shirts ( no names ) , they may or may not wear them in public , but will for a nightshirt.

Stacey- did I read correctly, your dog has its own pool??

Have a great day everyone, off to do laundry!

 

[justmestace]

Mary.....I e-mailed you back, I like your idea.

Diana....when we put the little Gila Monster back outside, it was alive and well. Did you look at its picture? He was in a container on my kitchen island.

Tina....I would love to say "Of course, the dog has her own pool...two in fact" But what she has are little kiddie pools. One out back, and one in front. Must have plenty of water available for outdoor dogs in the desert.

I truly am leaving now...honest!

Our pup has it's own pool. She's a water loving dog and we just aren't ready to let her in our big pool yet (actually it was closed today) So she has a plastic kiddie pool of her own.

Garry, WHAT??? English, please!

And could you tell us about which design we are getting on the shirt? Or we could just let it be a surprise!

 

[ohiominnie]

Tinksdad alert!

Got the joint compound, got the 10 inch putty knife. attempting to do this. do i just need the ever so slightest layer of joint compound on the walls? of course, *I* think*, it's looking totally AWFUL and will NEVER look right. This stuff is NOT fun to smooth out. I'm thinking I'll have to do more sanding than I really want to do.

Without the proper training and years of practice, of course you will need to sand more than you would like. This is the biggest reason I recommended the Plus3 joint compound. It is very easy to sand and should make you life a bit better. Think of it this way: Your arm muscles will get a work out.

The best way to apply the "mud" is using a joint compound tray. A SS container (you've seen them), dip your knife in and get about 1 1/2" or so of mud on it and without dropping to much apply it to the wall. Start at one corner and work across. I like left to right as I'm right handed, but what ever works for you. Over lap each pass a bit and as you make the final pass with the 10" knife, rotate your wrist to put a bit more pressure along the right side of the blade. This will allow a bit more mud to float along the edge to the freshly applied side. Repeat, repeat, repeat..........

Don't worry about making it perfect the first pass. You will need to sand and then apply more to even the dips out. How's the arm feel now??

Am I making sense here??

 

[ohiominnie]

well, i doubt i'll ever get years and years of practice, so this will have to be good enough!

thanks for the tips. the "rotating your wrist to apply more pressure to the right side" makes complete sense and i think will alleviate a lot of my frustrations.

of course, i was having the thought "why didn't i organize a DIS meet in my bathroom and invite tinksdad????"

ok, back to work. this message has taken too long as i can only type with my two ring fingers (the only two not covered with joint compound)

hope ohiomickey doesn't notice it on his nice optical mouse

I forgot to mention about putting down a drop cloth or something, guess you figured that out anyway. It/you can make quite a mess with the dropping of the mud. As long as you don't step in it and drag it all over the house it can stay and be picked up when dry much easier.

Don't worry about it looking awful. With some sanding and a few coats it will look fine and be ready to texture or paint or whatever you had in mind. What do you plan to do with it?

What, you didn't understand that??

Come on girl, read "between the lines"
It means GaRry needs coffee!!!!

a few??????

WAAAA!

I did a bad thing. As I was finishing up, it was getting darker in the bathroom. So I turned the light on.

Should have just kept it off. I could have replaced the 100 watt bulb with a nightlight bulb and it would look just fine forever. After all, it is the master bath, wouldn't very very dim lighting be more romantic???

Tomorrow I'll sand, then recoat. We'll see how it looks after that. I may just accept it that way rather than do a "few" coats. A "few" of anything is too many when it comes to manual labor!

Btw, my arm feels like jello. And the plans are to prime it, paint it, and then put up a wallpaper border. Of course, if it looks awful after painting, I may add in a sponge painting step.

No need for a drop cloth. The floor now is subfloor. We decided to save step until AFTER painting!

 

[justmestace]

Ohminnie....what a pain! My measly little texture job was easy...that's as much as I care to do. Good luck with it!

I understood GaRry.......great minds think alike!

Getting ready to head out the door to take Jordan to dance tryouts. After that she has class and we'll wait for her & have dinner at our regular pizza place downstairs from the dance studio. I wonder if they've missed us all summer?

Will try to sign on and say goodnight when we get home....by then, you'll all be in bed, though!

TTFN,
Stacey

 

[dobelover]

Ohiominnie - I am exhausted for you! Next time I think about redoing my bedroom and bathroom I will just reread your adventure!
