    That's a cool sign, but it's built into the brickwork, and that would be wicked hard to do well with your existing brickface. I'd say bolt something on that looks cool and light it well is your best bet.

    No, above the door and windows there is a larger rectangle where a sign used to be. It's fine. I think that kind of stuff adds character, and doesn't bother me at all. You're doing good work.

    I do! That's part of why we bought the house we did - dining room that seats 28 or so pretty comfortably, and plenty of other spaces to put people. Not to mention a basement where I can send the kids. I love hosting people and cooking. The orgies are a good way to work up an appetite!

    I have 60 coming for dinner on Sunday. Making a goose and pork belly. What goes with that? Mashed potatoes? Scalloped potatoes? Rice pilaf? Also going to do braised carrots and leeks. Making blueberry, cherry, and lemon meringue pies, too. What else? Others are all bringing food, too, but I...

    Good night, Penguins. Hope your golf game is better than your playoff game.

    I do installation art. I do it for several churches, and for several cities. Some sculpture, some painting, mostly mixed media filling a big space. The one space I do most is a 12 foot wide by 36 foot high wall on which I do everything from fabric installation to painting realism. Visual art is...

    I don't think you're wrong. That's confusing though, considering the season Tampa had. They shit the bed big time, and they have no one to blame but themselves. Now, let's get Pittsburgh eliminated tonight, too, and let the Jets win. That'll be a good hockey night in Canada.

    What in the actual fuck Tampa Bay? That was a miserable showing in the post season. I love under dogs, and I'm really happy for the Blue Jackets right now. They worked their asses off.

    @Alex I do like some botanical gins, but I find people are going overboard with them, and the flavour of the gin is lost to the lavender, or whatever else it's infused with. If you can find gin from these guys, get it: https://www.huberwinery.com/starlight-distillery/

    Don't do that with gin. You'll have a headache.

    Then that's not good gin. Sounds like it was too heavy on the botanicals. Good gin has a balanced flavour that is enhanced by the carbonation of tonic and is prevented from being too sweet by a hint of lime. You need to be able to taste all those things.

    Good gin is delicious, and should be enjoyed with the correct amount of garnish. Don't listen to Alex, he's a nice guy, but he's touched in the head. Cucumber should not be part of a gin drink. I've tried, man. I hate that taste in a drink. Tried the cucumber gatorade, too. Equally blah.

    There's still a whole period for them to disappoint us. I can't get my hopes up. Too many years of cheering for Toronto. But yeah, the officiating sucks donkeys.

    Whats rustling your jimmies?

    Happens to me periodically. I just stop, turn around, and stare right into their eyes. Makes them so bloody uncomfortable they feel terrible without actually doing anything aggressive or wrong. Works like a charm.

    And the one that will ultimately let you down. Good game tonight, let's see how it goes. I'm a Toronto fan. I want to believe. I can't. Not yet.

    I think you need to address this with your wife. Tell her what you've told us - that it's hurtful for her to shut you down on this one self indulgence. I'd be furious if I were you, and just sitting on that fury isn't going to create warm, loving feelings in the future. Seriously, make sure she...
