Well, excuuuuuuse me, Your Highness! But you must understand, in these recessionary (prosperity is right around the corner...) times, that we do not all have the unlimited funds of the great NWoBHM, to recline on our padded ottoman while we direct legions of workers to do our bidding. ()

For example, Miss Saur here, would probably have to pay thousands to have her painting done, but finds she can do it herself for a few hundred dollars. Not to mention the satisfaction I'm sure she will feel having done it her own self.

And I won't even go into the usual contractor headaches, of them not completing the work on time, overcharging and not sticking to the bid price, and doing shoddy, low quality, cutting the corners work in general for all that money. The thought of it all makes me shudder...

Rey......Could you peel me another grape.......my last grape peeler I had to let go.

I paid my brother to do the furnace.
I paid a roofer for that.
I like painting...and I can spend the next 30 years cleaning up the mess I made too.

Some things I'm doing because I have to..some because I can!

I hear ya' NWo!...good help IS so hard to find these days!!!

Keep up the good work Nettie! The end result is always worth it!

It was what we call, "Tongue in cheek", ie I don`t really think or behave like that really! (well not much)

Actually though, I do want Rey to peel me a grape, but not using his Tiger Tank........

I shall be on my Chaise Lounge if required, I have one of my headaches........

Another recent-and-direct experience one: Barbers that will not listen to your instructions, and murder your hair.

I went to a Supercuts down the road a bit and told this lady to go up the sides with a #2 and do nothing with the top but trim, and...

So now I look exactly like Coach Buzzcut in the Beavis & Butthead cartoons. %&*#!



Exactly. Like. That.
Oh well, as my oldest and dearest friend always says, "The difference between a good haircut and a bad haircut is two weeks." But still.

Yikes! I'm assuming she didn't get a tip

Oh! Oh! Another one, spotted just now on cable:

Yellow Fang Syndrome.

You've all seen this all over in everyday life, but most egregiously among Hollywood actors, even on screen:
There's a hint of a healthy, pearly-white smile, then when they grin nice and wide you see this yellow grunge running up the sides that looks a little like the rust on a backyard rain barrel. Yeeek. Seeing this in a kissing scene is certifiably retchworthy. You feel like yelling at the screen - ok, I actually do: "This is Personal Hygiene 101! You have more teeth than just the four at dead-center! Brush. The. Sides. Ack! Yeek!"

(SC I like your signature, great movie.....)

That's not always a hygiene issue. Some antibiotics can stain your teeth, though that's usually a problem if the mom took certain ones during pregnancy. Those kinds of stains are impossible to get rid of, even with professional treatment. The only thing that works is getting veneers, which is ridiculously expensive. You would think the Hollyweird crowd would be able to afford that though. Or at least have it airbrushed out!
