Conservative Thread: We cannot do everything at once, but we can do something at once

[Soarin08]

Ugh I'm sitting here with a screaming headache again. I'll be glad when my glasses come in. Should be by early next week.

I hope your headache goes away ASAP.

Welcome! And you brought a Donald picture with you to boot, yay! I am the thread's resident Donald Duck nut, FYI. I that Duck!

FANATIC is more like it. NUT isn't a strong enough word.

I thought Zip looked like Chevy Chase, or the guy from Lost in Space!

Saxsoon>Great job! Keep up the good work!

I like sarcasm, except when I don't realize the person using it is capable of it and I take them seriously.. I hate looking like a fool! LOL Actually, I don't like sarcasm that much, but subtleties in the written/spoken word.

Weather report... 18 degrees, snowing, and nasty roads out there. Just got in from a hockey game and it took FOREVER to get home.

I'm sorry you aren't feeling well, and hope your headache gets better. I also hope your glasses come quickly.

Hey, I just found this thread and I like it. Talking with like-minds is a nice change from fighting with people all the time. I just thought I would say hello and invite myself to the party.

Welcome! I like your username. It describes my house!

 

[Decorated_Dust]

Thanks for all the welcomes! I hope to get to know ya'll!

Welcome! And you brought a Donald picture with you to boot, yay! I am the thread's resident Donald Duck nut, FYI. I that Duck!

Me too! It was an awkward picture because I was so tall, but still, I was ecstatic to get it. I gotta say Mickey's my fave, though. :

Ugh, I've been there. This semester has been hell, and I have been getting headaches every other day it seems. Feel better!

I'm feeling the love, I really am.

I mean, how can you look at this face and not be a fan? Really?

And to anyone who dares to mock the Duck, Donald says:

Bring it on!

 

[mfd25wife]

It describes my house!

I thought I had the only house decorated that way!

Mine is a fine layer of sawdust and drywall dust . I think it'll take forever to clean after they finish work on the house.

Are you in college? This semester for me has been entirely too quick....

i'd have called that a "decorated protective layer".

ughh....I was wondering where you were...I do hope the glasses help those headaches. Do you still have snow up there in WA?

Welcome! We are a nice bunch, if a bit wacky, in a Donald sort of way...
I love your avatar and your siggie...

Be careful, Deb - you've got lots of English/language arts for which to intervene! Hey, when do you start your new job?

My very favorite picture from my one and only WDW trip is a pic of my husband with Donald Duck. They share a name and certain key personality traits, so it was perfect to get a shot of the two together. They're both pretty cute fellas, even with the temper

Same here, but since I gave up the fight with the drywall dust I'd say its not such a "fine" layer.

*handing bottle of excedrin to Michelle* Go lay down in a dark room. We'll fill you in if anything important happens!

Hopefully Thursday morning! It gets voted on at Wednesday night's board meeting. I got the official phone call, and the official letter, but even the letter says pending board approval. I can't wait! I need to be working! *remind me I said this in June!*

Ooooh, I do not miss that! We bought a very old house ten years ago and tore it up for awhile (punched holes in the walls to rewire, tore out baseboard heat, put in gas forced air, etc), then sold it two and a half years ago and tore it up again first (tore out a wall that was covering up gorgeous old stair spindles and railing). In between we divided a 22 ft room (more sheetrock...) and punched in a window for the new room. My first job was drywall...so my husband joyously punched holes in walls and I got to fix them.

ughh....I was wondering where you were...I do hope the glasses help those headaches. Do you still have snow up there in WA?

Well, sorta. It's more like a white-topped crust of ice. It's up to 27* tonight, though. For now. Give it a couple of hours, it might drop below 20* again. We're not used to this stuff. We're wieners. It was supposed to snow some more tonight, but so far nuttin'.

Same here, but since I gave up the fight with the drywall dust I'd say its not such a "fine" layer.

HA! Right. I just finished cleaning the kitchen, rotating some laundry, and my kids are finally in bed, so now I'm sitting here plugged into the MP3 player listening to CCR (Tombstone Shadow...real loud) and surfing the board. Sometime soon I'll get off here because I really do need to do my Christmas cards before it's too late to get half of them acoss the country in time. Which isn't going to help my head any...getting old stinks.

 

[honugirl]

It's supposed to snow up here starting around 3 am. We're supposed to get 3-6 inches. I don't know what's supposed to happen around the Seattle area. It's one gigantic ice sheet around here. I still can't get my car out so I'm stuck in my house.

 

[Michelle67]

Well I have no snow to speak of, but there are icicles hanging off the bottom of my van. So it's supposed to start around 3, huh? I never watch the weather, I rely on everyone else to tell me what I'm about to get smacked with.

 

[honugirl]

I watch the weather so I know when I can go outside. I have asthma that's triggered by cold weather, so I have to wait until it warms up to go outside. I also want to know when I can safely drive my car again! Sigh.

Those redoing houses.. .how old? Ours was built in 1865ish, though I can tell you the fireplace is circa 1910 because the brick style wasn't made when the house was built! We had three different walls come apart when we redid a bathroom. That bathroom is ALMOST done. Its been.. oh, five years I think? The same time we fixed the walls we had to fix the ceiling in two areas in the living room.

Since we've lived here we've done
paved driveway
new roof
new windows
new siding
huge deck and pool
totally new kitchen *redid roofline for that one*
rehabbed family room
redid two of the bedrooms
changed french doors we put in the kitchen to a regular higher end slider just last weekend. No more snow blowing under the door!
Once we finish this bathroom we're tackling the other first floor bath with a mini redo. Just tub/floor/new fixtures It doesn't need new electrical or new plumbing. Then, we're FINALLY moving upstairs and redoing our room and the room next to it into a master suite. There is another small bathroom up here so that will be expanded and the bedoom next to ours will be half closet/half bathroom area. The last room - original trunk room or 12by 25 bowling alley as I like to call it, is just getting paint and carpet.

I swear I'd just like to move now.

**ETA took up all main floor carpeting, refinished wood floors for half of it, recarpeted other half
new furnace
most of house replumbed and rewired.
