Not everyone sees the light at the same time in their life. And even then... it's baby food till the meat. Just ask St. Paul.

You can paint two + rooms with one gallon of "khaki" paint, but if you choose a variant of "red" for an accent wall, you will use the whole gallon on that wall, and spend more time on that one wall than it took you to finish the two rooms in khaki.

ETA - even though you're a rockstar while edging with the khaki paint, it is advisable to go ahead and use tape with the red, because you WILL fuck it up somewhere between the 1st and 5th coats...........

You should have painted the wall black prior to applying the red paint.

Yea - I read that you need to use a good dark primer before doing reds, but I guess I thought that since they were nice clean walls in a brand new construction, the rules of primer could be ignored.

Ah well - the thread is about lessons learned, right?

When you go to picl up your shit from your ex and her new man toy is there and hes an ass, the best way to get rid of him is to tell him"hey, shes a freak, so far i was her first and only, but no matter where you kiss or touch her, my cum has been there."

I'm trying to buy a new phone. Today I found out that I have to sign up for a completely different policy to be able to use this particular phone. Since we use one of their family plans, this amounts to ~$70 more a month just to be able to use this damned phone.

We use less than 700 minutes per month. There isn't a family plan available with less than 1500 minutes for use with this phone, though.

When you get a developer buffer tank overflow alarm, you have to hold the HH level alarm switch down and do a dummy dispense of developer that will lower the level of developer in the buffer tank below the HH sensor and that will allow the alarm to re-set.

Lets see...

A .50BMG bolt action rifle has less felt recoil than a 12ga. shotgun.

It takes a few seconds for the sound of a thousand yard hit to get back to the shooter.

Now I know what all the .50 fuss is all about, and I want one.
