Hey, Jim....tell Matt I'm ready to call in my marker for the extra late dinners....I need him to come help me paint.....I'm sure he's always wanted to see Arizona, anyway, right?!!

I've seen Matt paint and you don't want his help. I'm still cleaning up paint from the kitchen when he painted his bedroom.

In case you didn't know it, we have some verrrry evil men on this thread.

Wow!! That IS messy!!

Is he one of those that drips paint from the bucket to the wall and on everything else in between??

You guys were doing some kind of water sport, according to your lovely wife! Those guys could have used an extra hand. I was sorry Mark and Mary left early, those short fellas almost dropped me!!

Half the room is done. Only one mess up. I forgot to tape the ceiling, which is remaining white. I realized my mistake the second I got a stripe of pink on the ceiling.
I can paint over it, and if I don't have any white paint, I'll just use white-out!
My back and hands are killing me. (wimp)

I was a good doobie, and cleaned the brush, roller and pan outside in the sink near the workshop.

Cool, I DID get another one! Shared T.O.P. with Jim!

I had forgotten. Jeanne and I ran into the Scuba's as they were coming back onboard in their wetsuits. DM thought they looked like creatures from the black lagoon. Of course then we saw Stacey looking like a princess.

I sort of expected to come back and see that we had made it too.......I plan on sticking close tonight.

LOL, I didn't know they sold white-out in gallon sizes!!

Tech Friends!! Question:

The video that the guy sent of the vow renewal (dvd) will play on my portable DVD player, but not on the computer, or the DVD player that's hooked up to the tv.
I was going to copy it myself, but it only plays about 1/4 of the way through on the computer and stops.
What's the deal? Any guesses?

That whole day is just a blur.....did I see you? Did you see me when I was waiting for the limo that was 45 mins late? I stayed calm. It was "LISA" who was upset!

It's only about a 5" stripe. Two small bottles should cover it!

After all the taping, and trim around the shelf supports, Jay comes home and says "Why didn't you just paint the supports?" Ummmm. Dunno.
If I HAD painted the supports, he would have said "Why did you do THAT?"

Maybe tomorrow, he'll paint.

My first thought would be to check if it is DVD-R or a DVD-RW. There is a difference. Some machines will not play RW.

That whole CD, DVD thing is pretty messed up. That doesn't make much sense that the portable will play it but the TV connected player won't. It's probably a formatting problem.

This might be more confusing than is worth, but try DVD Explained it might help you out.

Maybe someone who knows more about this stuff will chime in, where's Paul??

It's a good thing they didn't see you in the drysuit with all the gear on too!!

I have a picture of you in it, and I think it's quite slimming. If they made one big enough, I might even buy one!

This actually did explain some things. I went into the "FAQ" and it told me one possibility...which is basically a formatting and/or disk type problem. i.e: some players only read certain disks, depending on the type of player and the type of disk. Some players only read DVD+R, not DVD/RW, etc.
See, I'm not so think as you dumb I am!

Never said anything different. It's just confusing. The manufactures have done a poor job of "standardizing" the formats.

Sorry....Jim said it much better than I did.
