Howdy Y’all! We deheathenated and had a <snerk> Quickie! <snerk> N.O.L. All is good. Nappage to ensue.
I own both soup spoons and soup class cause I’m all class and couth like that. However, I would not be upset if someone used a regular spoon instead of a soup spoon to eat soup. That does not bother me. However, if you ate your sallit with the fish fork, I’d clasp my pearls and go into a dead faint! :eek: Quelle horreur! :eek:
How would you react to someone who doesn’t own a single fish fork?? Asking for a friend.
I’m with you. Hubby likes his giant spoons though, and uses them all the time. :rolleyes:
A trick I learned, which you may already know, to minimize the appearance of the paint over the spackle, is to take a damp rag and wipe it over the paint. It should take the paint off of the already painted area (the wall) and just leave it on the patched area. It reduces the new paint over old paint mis-match. Depending on how large your area is, you can also get a small can of spray texture from the hardware store. If you have a larger speckled area, you can match your wall texture (seems like walls are just “flat” anymore).
This has been “home repair with Sunny” AKA “telling you things you probably already knew”. 
My husband’s dog is curled up next to the packed suitcase. Poor thing. 
OTOH, I let him sleep on the bed with me while hubby is gone, so it’s not all bad.
Blurf. Headache. No motivation, just don’t care. Still watching Olympics. Right now. Bobsled. Looks dangerous to me. Tonight is ice dancing. South Korea has done it right. Clean, no BS, and professional. LOL TO **Doggioooo ** re Zamboni. I read an article but no idea where, what is required to keep the ice rinks perfect.
For a sedentary person I do enjoy watching the Olympics.

Yep, or mango, or I don’t know what else. Maybe only those.
**Sunny **- I’ve got to spackle the area around the door frame - when we took the old frame off, it pulled some of the paint and drywall paper off. So I’ll make the areas smooth, then touch up with the paint I just bought. Problem is, we painted the walls at least 7 or 8 years ago, and I don’t know how much the color changed with age. We shall see.
Critter fountain is clean, so spacklage is about to begin.
Your aunt is your sister??? Are you originally from West Virginia?
The question is do you hold your spoons the proper way?

Dorky the Yorkie had another ‘panic attack’* last night.
I ended up sitting in the recliner with a panting, squirming dog in my lap from 3am on.
The last time I looked at my watch it was 6:30. We must have fallen asleep about 7.
Wifey got up about 8 and I went back to bed about 8:30 and slept until after 10.
I’s tahrd!
It snowed here last night. It stuck for a little bit too, but it’s gone now.
We’ve got one of those grapefruit spoons. We use it to scrape the seeds out of squashes.
I like to use a teaspoon to eat soup and cereal. Wifey uses a tablespoon. We’ve got it covered either way.
I have no idea what a fish fork is. We have two kinds of forks though. Long’ens and short’ens. I like the long’ens for everything. Now if you told me fish forks somehow automatically removed the fish bones before you ate 'em, I’d be down with that, and get a bunch of 'em, whatever they are.
I just looked up ‘fish fork’. I like this one. And then there’s this one. 
Have a good Sunday y’all.
How do you keep your peas on your knife?
I eat just about everything using a teaspoon.
So much so that I bought an extra dozen of them. (Different pattern and a better quality. They feel better in the hand).
But only around people I know well, as I tend to get some weird looks.
Tablespoons feel too big for my mouth.
I prefer the baby (salad) forks to the tall forks too.
I* can* eat like a grownup who has some couth, but why bother?
Ripple pulled the curtains down today, by accident, the first time.
They are held up by a tension rod so no damage to anything.
Took a while to convince him that no, you may not drag them through the house, and no, we will not play tug-o-war with them.
He is incredibly stubborn and does not like the word ‘no’.
He seems to think ‘no’ means ‘try harder’.
It’s the teaspoons, man.
Are shar-peis a stubborn breed by nature or did you just get a pig-headed one?
I spackled, I sanded, I painted. When the paint dries, we’ll see how close a match it is. It’s pretty close, and since it’s the hallway, I’m not too worried. It’ll get painted eventually anyway.
Tomorrow, **FCD **will do the base molding and caulk the crap out of everything. I’ll bring up the freshly painted shelf from the basement, and the hall closet will be done. It’s so weird seeing a real door there instead of the mirrored panels, and it’s great to have the full 36" opening when I need to get stuff in or out. The 18" opening was a real pain.
So, anybody want 3 sets of mirrored sliding doors? FREE!!!
We had grilled cheese sammiches and ‘mater soup for suppage. Our inner eight year old boys are happy. Plus I drug the biiiiiiiiiiiiiiiig trash can down to the road for pick up tomorrow. Might be early mornin’. Might be late mornin’. Might be sometime in the afternoon. Trash pick is a willy-nilly thing in these parts. Also, tomorrow night is men’s night over to the church house, so steaks are marinatin’ and beer is chillin’.
A 2 and a half hour nap sure can be disorienting. I was pretty wiped out after a late-night party the previous night. Still feeling a bit foggy.
Yeah. 20 minutes naps are awesome. 2 hours not so much. But the good news is you probably needed and your body was telling you something.
Another night curled up with the cat to watch curling. Go Canada!

I am ready to go to sleep at 720 pm. Old I am. I will be glad when the time changes again soon.
I went to bed last night at 8pm. My exciting life.
Thanks to all for the teaspoon/tablespoon discussion. didn’t know this crowd was into spoonin’ all that much…
I prefer the larger spoons so my chicken and noodles don’t fall off.
Anyway. Watched the Daytona 500 until there was an accident (didn’t take long) and then napped. Just ate some grilled ham-n-cheese on rye (wunnerful, wunnerful) and now am replaxing. Last estimate to fix the walls in the bathroom will be tomorrow, hopefully they can complete that work this week.
All y’all take care and I’ll catch you on the new MMP.
nava, that spoon is a regular spoon.
I eat a lot of things with a regular spoon at home. Out, I use more couth. I pack a salad fork in my lunch for irk, because a) I’m taking a salad and b) it fits in the container for the trip home.
We spent about an hour and a half at the dog park today and now I have a very sleepy puppy. 
We also went to PetSmart where I found some rope toys on clearance. Since his only one left was down to a frazzle, I picked up three. Chicken pie and broccoli salad for supper. Now to finish up the dishes and fold the towels that I washed yesterday. I’s tahred.
FCM shar pei are well known for being stubborn.
Mackie was stubborn in a passive way, I won’t do it and you can’t make me.
It took 7 years to teach him to sit for a treat, ony because Sah-son could out stubborn him and decided Mackie was going to learn.
However, he never did much naughty stuff and he wasn’t very active, so it didn’t much matter. He never got into the trash, jumped on people or the furniture, chewed things that weren’t his to chew, jumped up to get stuff of the table, etc.
He minded his own business and left stuff alone.
He was never a ‘normal’ dog, I got spoiled.
However, he did have the f’ you attitude, which I can relate to and love about shar pei.
Ripple is actively stubborn, and has an attitude, and is a little cyclone in the house.
I was expecting stubborn and attitude, I was not expecting cyclone.
He is all dog and a normal dog, I forgot what they are like.
Shar pei are supposed to be a low energy dog, a little 20 minute walk or a short game of fetch, and they should be good for the day.
Not him.
Although he is still a puppy so maybe in a few months he’ll settle a little.
