No midge season is up to end of June or October. You can buy mesh hoodies. I have one for the hill. Only a problem if it’s warm and still. Cool with a wind and they aren’t an issue! No midge season means you miss the beautiful heather. Just get a hoody!

I think we're going to have to rely on you to get us the best ones. I'd like a pink glitter bedazzled one, please!

Has anyone ever used tsp cleaner to clean cabinets?

Not cabinets, but walls. If you're painting the cabinets, it will degloss the surface and it's easier than sanding the whole thing, especially if they're dirty. You may have some spot sanding when you're done, or a light sanding of the entire surface. Use a very good primer. I like Zinzer Cover-Stain. Paint is one thing where you definitely get what you pay for.

Our wildfowling season has technically begun but it’s early days and I am in no rush to get started. I did though get to the shooting ground to get a little practice on clays. Hit a reasonable number and missed more than I would like. It’s a good job geese are bigger than clays.

I know most of the gun nuts on here are into rifles but you might find my preferred fowling gun interesting. I am not sure many people have them in the US.

That's quite a ... gun ... you have there, G!

Good morning OM, IS, and Wat. Not sure if Wonderer is up yet. And of course good night Lilli.

Good Morning, B2! Hope this is a fabulous Friday!

My dad, a professional painter, said the same. I do not go cheap.

 

[Lilianna23]

There is a rule where I live ...when the skeeter come out korry goes in. I get big old welts

Same, girl! I'm allergic to all stinging insects.

 

[B2fromA2looking4U]

Good Morning, B2! Hope this is a fabulous Friday!

Thank you. I’m up early as I slept a sound 8 hours. I have Airbnb guests coming today. It’s always exciting to see who they are.

Nothing special planned today. And you?

 

[Lilianna23]

I thought that was why the men in the house always made it

I think whoever drinks it should make it! I don't really know how to make coffee. I made coffee yesterday for the construction guy. He must have liked it; he drank at least 2 cups.

Was @Lilianna23 baking today?View attachment 2387535

I was going to, but ended up not. I fed the construction guy Costco muffins and coffee!

Another early day. Tried to catch up but impossible on this thread! Long day in the salt mines so everyone get up for the weekend!

Has anyone ever used tsp cleaner to clean cabinets?

There are two kinds of tsp, there is the real tri sodium phosphate and the tsp labeled alternative. I prefer the real stuff.
I wouldn’t use it on cabinets bless you plan on restraining them.
It’s great on walls before you paint because it cleans and sort of roughs up the wall which helps the paint adhere.
I hope I’m making sense, it’s 4:30 in the morning here and having a reaction. Only one awake at this point.

Grandpa taxi was fantastic today. Grandson was a happy toddler and my granddaughter sad because it was not her day to ride with me.

Had a great brunch with GF. We are so on the same wavelength on many things.

Saw my son this afternoon and dinner. We watched another silly tornado movie.

Taking it easy.

I'm glad the grandpa taxi is up and running! I think you get as much out of it as the kids do!

Also so happy you have found someone who gets you. It's so important!

Home. Decent day with the work weasels. We had our subcontractor meeting. Drywall Weasel showed up, pissed and moaned a bit, and then ducked out. No matter much since PM Man said he had another drywall guy lined up to do patches. That's what I/we need done. That would be great. We have a decent shot of finishing this building by the end of November.


Two horses grazing while the old fellow stares off to the Southwest:

Get him to fire drywall weasel and hire the other!

Beautiful horses!

 

[Lilianna23]

And a shitload of pictures. I have never been much of a human grave visitor. Like, not at all. I am a horse resting place visitor.

My first girl is buried at the edge of my lawn. I planted a bleeding heart on her grave. I also have a rock engraved with her name there.

The rest of my girls were cremated. I have all their little boxes on my dresser in my closet.

I also don't visit human grave sites.

No...its trisodium phosphate decreased and cleaner. A lot of people use to clean cabinets.... just wanted to know if hard to use or dangerous...i.e melt the skin off my hands. I can't get a new kitchen so I am gonna paint my lower cabinets and line the shelves with contact paper. . Also some decluttering

I wear nitrile gloves when using it. There is no odor and it’s not a breathing hazard. It’s not particularly dangerous if you wear
It sound perfect fits you

 

[Lilianna23]

Well i sprayed them.... 8 thought they would die faster

I did some death spraying on the aphids that attacked my garlic chives and spring onions. I mixed a bit of Dawn with water in a spray bottle. Every time I spray, I'm yelling, "Die, you little bastards!"

I think it's working...

 

[Lilianna23]

My first goal is 50.... i am morbidly obese.....

Don't make it a pejorative. You are not your weight, babe! You're a beautiful, vibrant woman and a good friend!

Herding some crazy teenagers at work. I'll prolly relax this evening. Enjoy some me time. I'll have kids over Saturday night so tonight will be for me. In a good mood today for some reason. Had a delightful morning so far and hoping the day stays the same

I hope your new bnb's are fun!

If you're not worried about Social Conventions, you can always get out.


Wat always gets out if he sees/feels the need.

Get out of the room or night all together? I don't mind the social just being stuck in a small room with lots of people bumping into each other looking for clues. I'd rather do this with one or two.

 

[Oldermom935]

Hola, Bonita!!!!


Feliz viernes.

Feliz Navidad!!!!!!

In this case, get out of the room. Smoking used to be a great excuse. "I'ma go smoke." And I would. I don't have that now.

 

[Wat_Tyler]

Feliz Navidad!!!!!!

Ah, Felix Navidad!!! He hangs my drywall!!

 

[ImpishSeraph]

I would have had four...

I don't smoke cigs anymore. I do smoke an ecig and that will be my next quit, but I like one vice at least since I don't drink, drugs, eat, or any other guilty pleasures. I do have one other, though.

I think you get locked in for a certain amount of time until you either get the clues and get out on your own, or the time is up. Kind of stuck once in there.

That dude owes me money!
