    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    To be clear, I think I would have a very hard time living without four seasons. Winter is my favourite. I love snow. I love cold. It's invigorating and awesome. Spend an afternoon sledding with kids and friends, and then sit in front of the fire. Fantastic. But @Tarrant , I mourn for you and...

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    I swam in Lake Superior last summer. It was just below 60 degrees. It hurt for the first bit, then I wanted to die for the second bit. Then I got out and laid in the sun on a sun-baked rock for a while and felt human again. Then I thought to myself "what the fuck is wrong with people who do this...

    Yeah, inside the linen closet. Though I'm not sure you really need one in the bedroom area unless you're sleeping with candles on.

    Pressure wash and clear sealer. Once you colour it, it shows badly as it ages. And as the sun bleaches it, there will be sections that don't take colour anymore. Never colour stain a deck imho.

    I'd send that picture to headquarters. They'll send you coupons for freebies.

    Fix the grading and make sure your gutters empty meters from the house. That will help so much.

    I texted to see if they remember. Haven't heard back. I honestly don't remember trying them. Maybe we didn't actually go through with it. I'ma do it this weekend, though.

    So my second youngest son had three older sisters. When he was young, like 5, he wanted long hair. He wanted pretty nails. He played with a doll and had a favourite stroller to put his doll in. He loved mermaids. He displayed every one of the "symptoms" you described above. When he started going...

    I have no recollection of this. Now I want to, though.

    Whats rustling your jimmies?

    That's a problem, imho. Keep individual lives going, too. If your entire life, social life, friend circle, etc. is just this one other person, you're in trouble. It'll drive you crazy eventually.

    I'm worried about how filthy that window is. Hopefully they inside of the place is cleaner.

    No, sorry. You're simply not correct in this. Keep trying, though. I've read a lot of it. Vanessa's provoked responses feel like that. Hodj seems mean spirited. However, I'm now done with this argument, as the stated goal of Hodj is to stir shit up in here. I'm not interested in engaging that...

    Ha. None. I loaded myself. Right now I'm also doing a big section with paving stones, so each time I did a load of 16 foot lumber I would buy 30 paving stones and put them in the front of the trailer to counter balance the weight. It was just about perfectly balanced. I managed to not hit...

    I don't post int he politics thread much. And how am I contradictory or forcing an "engris" opinion on anyone? You're more like Tanoomba than you realize, your autism doesn't allow you the perspective to realize it. I find quite a bit of this thread worth reading. You're pretty funny, but I...

    Yeah, you'll have to wait for rain and see what's up. I increased my deck size from 16x16' to 16x32' last weekend. Decks are expensive, even if you do it yourself. On the funny side, I got all my 16' lumber from Menards to my home on my 8' trailer. That was some trick...

    So I'm sure plenty of people will shit on me for this, but I do care. I think Vanessa adds a unique perspective, one that I don't encounter elsewhere. And she's plenty vocal and willing to engage in discussion. I would like her to stick around. I'm not white knighting, or hoping for something...

    Putting plastic down is a smart idea. Water shows up under, it's coming up. On top, it's from somewhere else.
