Random thoughts III

Anyone have an expertise on refinishing furniture? Just wondering best products for someone who is clueless. And it is just a simple nightstand so it doesn't have to look like a masterpiece or anything.

I can't help because I don't do this work but had to show off this picture from my neighbors who opened a mid-century shop and restore lots of mid-modern stuff. Check out this before/after rosewood desk.

Well now I am intrigued.


How so, not familiar or 'now I gotta go look'? Yeah, it's like Veishea with boats, nudity, and open sex. When we went down for a buddy's bachelor party, I thought I had seen some debauchery in college....I had to reset my meter after that. I stayed mostly good, too much chance for something bad to happen for me to let loose, but the things I saw....

Interestingly, we were supposed to go to New Orleans, but it was the weekend after Katrina, and our hotel was under water....I thought NO would be bad, but I don't think it'd compare to Party Cove.
 
garlabldkjfsssssssssss

It makes more than a little bit crazy when I have to hand feed answers. Answers that are already in recent emails or files easily accessible to someone. Please try doing a tiny bit of independent searching yourself first!

And I'm sure they are going to completely miss something I just pointed out. I can already tell. Gah.
 
Sooooo... I told my wife about the whole podcast idea and first words out of her mouth: "Do these people know you have an accent? Is anybody going to understand what you're saying? HaHaHa"

I will now always hear your posts with the Pepperidge Farm guy's accent.

By the way, I am from NE Iowa and I always pronounce Aunt like the insect as well.
 
aaaaaand correct I was. Now how long before they ask me what it is. I'm being mean and making them figure this out.
 
"A" followed by an "N" will betray me as a Chicagoland native. Dance, advance, aunt, and yes...pants...give me trouble. (I pronounce "aunt" like the insect) I'm always consciously either dropping my jaw further or opening my throat when I say those words. My husband just pointed out another word this happens with, but I can't remember now.

Although, if I hear a snippet of either true or fake Chicagoan dialogue, I can purposely drop into that accent way too easy.

PapaLew "doesn't recognize me" when we head south to visit family in Texas. I fall right back into the speech patterns of my early childhood, reinforced by Texan parents and frequent visits back after moving out of the state.

Then again, if I'm tired, "ah'm tahred"...it comes out then also. :)
