Believe it or not: I actually LIKE this kitchen. It has attitude.
Of course, I’d have to get a '57 Chevy Bel Air, buy a closet full of wifebeaters, and grow enough hair to slick it back with some Brylcream into a duck’s ass to complete the scene…
Aaaaaah! I’m getting overwhelmed at work all of a sudden. New boss is throwing things at me to do and I’m completely lost!! Aaaaaah!
Perhaps this den will be more to your liking.
I’m still all depressed because I (as a self-employed person) had picked up a new company to do some work for, which I just loved plus they paid really well. Except it turned out that the guy who’d founded the company 30 years ago died last year and left the business to his partner, who I guess had spent those 30 years throwing parties, certainly not doing anything with the business (or any business); the new owner managed to drive a thriving business into the ground in one short year. And leaving a whole lotta people unpaid. Including me, to the tune of about $600. Now the question is, do I join the rest of the employees in their lawsuit, or do I file my own? Because I did the work, and the company got paid by their client for the work I did; it seems only reasonable that I should get paid for it, too. Or am I assuming too much here? :rolleyes:
Papa T. and I looked at a house a few years ago that was absolutely stunning architecturally, to-die-for cypress stairway and all – but it was still done up in perfect '70s decor. We’re talking orange shag carpeting in the den, avocado green kitchen appliances with clashing flowered kitchen wallpaper and kitchen carpeting, and on and on. We loved the house but just didn’t have the extra 50K it would have taken to strip it bare and redo 3/4 of the rooms. Which is such a shame; it was such a a gorgeous house.
Who ever thought avocado green was a good color for anything except goose poop, anyway?
Naaaaah. Can you do anything along the lines of S&M dungeon?
My kitties have had their food bowl moved for a few minutes while I mop and vacuum. They are expiring from hunger. I am a bad kitty owner. How can they possibly live for an hour without easy access to their food bowl?
I’m waiting for the dough to finish first rise, and then I’ll mop and go to the grocery store for butter. I bougt butter yesterday, but I left it in the fridge at work. It’s about fifteen blocks round-trip, and it’s only three blocks to the grocery store. I’m lazy. I’ll pick up the other block of butter when I drop off cinnamon buns later.
FCM, that’s good advice. I’m in all kinds of self-conflict because I know I don’t like the guy, and I know that affects my judgement. On the other hand, the reason I don’t like him is that he’s lazy and screws things up and won’t ask for instruction. So I’m trying to decide if I should talk to my manager(who can sometimes get defensive about new hires, or so I’m told), and think of rational, non-spiteful sounding, professional reasons for complaining about him. It’s all getting lost in a fog of irritation and anger. Sigh.
anyrose --I got it–see my post. There was just a delayed reaction (perhaps like the plateau phase in sex?)
Wow-what an odd sentence. I consider the MMP to be like free association therapy, so I’m leaving it in… 
I am cleaning my oven, as we speak. It is hotter than hell in the kitchen right now, but I want my new kitchen to have a clean oven.
Yikes-#2 son is already watching cartoons. It’s gonna be a looooong summer. None of his friends are home-what is up with that? I feel bad for him; he’s almost an only child d/t to the age gap with the other two.
Perhaps we will do our reading out on the front porch in a bit.
I must paint, still, but am taking a break from washing trim so’s I can paint it.
Re Vunder’s den–I am thinking of Susan’s dad’s den in the movie Arthur for him…heheheheh.
taxi -deep breath. Come on, almost lunch time–you can do this!
I didn’t see Arthur…
Spats - get your butt over there and show 'em what the cool kids can do!
WELL-GO OUT AND RENT IT AND SEE IT, FERCHRISSAKES!! Tis a classic–and Liza Minelli never had more talent.
How about the den Doris Day puts together for Rock Hudson in Pillow Talk?
Work with me here, folks.
OK, I put the screens in the storm doors. I’ve done 2 loads of laundry. I vacuumed. I had lunch. I talked to my daughter. Guess I can’t avoid it any longer - I have to dun-dun-DUUUUHN dust.
<sigh>
Holy cow - you’ve almost described our house before we did our renovation. All we have left, once we’re done with the basement studio, is 2 bedrooms and the 2 baths. And a deck. And replacement windows. And a new furnace/air conditioner. And a new roof. But that’s all - we’re almost done!! At least we’re pretty much out of the 70s now. Except that the mirrored tiles are still in the master bedroom. :eek:
Do you have a swiffer duster? I broke down and got one a couple of months ago, and to me, dusting goes a lot faster now.
I’m not even gonna touch the mirror tile line cause I’ll just get written up again. 
Lissla, that video is the cutest thing EVER.
Bobbio, way to go!
FCM, holy shoot. Your family room is especially, uh, stunning.
'Member that hot date I had Monday? We had our second date last night, and no. 3 is scheduled for tomorrow evening. I’m totally besmitten. Who’da thunk a cute guy like him would be interested in ‘lil* ol’** me?
*er, rather large, actually
**I’m only 24, I’m not old!
The word is was, as we did a major remodel just after those pics were taken. As you can see here…
We shall have to bring in a consultant for this.
I SOOOOOOOOOO don’t want to be at work today. actually I don’t want to work anymore at all. I want to win the lottery and retire
**Spatsie ** - in the other thread - Askia really has no idea what he’s up against, does he? I mean, even my meager puns are better than his. So we gang up on him and put him in his place, yes?
Get in line, dearie. Behind me…
He hasn’t the foggiest. Time to pluck a pigeon.
