  1. Never opened up about it. Didnt get much support when my grandma died in Katrina so I been kinda closed with you guys since.
  2. Ya know, as pathetic as it is to admit, you guys just showing that you read the posts lifted me somehow. I've been posting for like 4 years now and still dont feel a part of the community like some obviously do even though I read posts from this MB like every day. Maybe its cause I'm a cynical piss pot, dunno. But yer well wishes hit me in the soft and heart shaped. Thank you.
  3. Beir, Bj, Weg, Zia, thanks!. On topic: 5 Strongbow ciders, 1/2 a pint of Jagrmeister, 1/2 a bottle of cheap bubbly + 3 shotc of cheap tequilla and 3 bud lights at the bar earlier.
  4. Last two years it was just me Dulce, Zayn and me kissing on new years eve while she was "working". I thought I was lonely then...
  5. Worst year ever. F U '08. I miss my kids.
  6. Never done it any other way but tinting the plaster. Seems to me like painting it would cause it to lose my favorite property of it: the coolness to the touch and the shine... Sounds like you know yer faux, you do it for money or just for fun?
  7. I've been on a Strongbow Cider kick lately. Proly kill a 6 of that and a pint of Jagermeister in shot form. Nice warm buzz but hella hangover.
  8. Well, I am a fan of MMo's. What dont you like about em? Aside from MMO's, I love Real Time Strategy (RTS) games online like Dawn of War and Warcraft 3 and First Person Shooters (FPS) like Unreal Tournament. I just don't see how you can play these games without a proper keyboard. And I feel so lonely in consoles..
  9. That could look nice, thanks for the links. I am always leery of rolling up any texture. Like someone mentioned earlier, the lines you get from the roller edges are are almost unavoidable. Maybe get a big brush and "back brush" it, much like you do with rolling oil paints... Essentially roll it up and come back with the biggest brush you can buy and very lightly brush it to even out the finish.
  10. Consoles bore me anymore. Once you go PC online gaming, you'll never go back.
  11. Well, he might be thinking about popcorn but that is usually reserved for ceilings. I could imagine the constant mess from having things rub up against the popcorn on the wall and knocking it onto the floor. On top of it looking tacky as hell... ETA: I guess the question is: What are you looking to accomplish Fatman? Cover up blemishes in the wall? Are you totally set on the "sandpaper" look?
  12. It's called "Knockdown". It's rather easy to put up. Go to your local Rental Depot and rent a Knockdown Gun. If you dont own a compressor, you'll need that also. They sometimes sell the mix you need as well. You'll also want a paddle for your drill to mix it with, they're cheap. You will need a big mud knife as well, like 12''. Mix up the knockdown in a 5 gallon bucket, it comes as a powder so mix it to just a little to just under spackle consistency, this is the hard part. Start with small batches till you get the knack. Test it out on a big piece of cardboard. Theres a hopper you pour the knockdown mix in on top of the gun and a little knob on the side of the sprayer that regulates the amount of material that gets sprayed. You will also want to play with this to get the desired application. Again, test it out on the cardboard or spare piece of drywall. What you're looking for is little bubbles on the wall no deeper than 1/8''. Spray on the whole wall in 4-6' sections then come back and knock it down with your mud knife in random circles. You want to give the mix time to just set up a little. Then come back with your mud knife and knock it down, spreading it flat. Thus the name. If you dont give it enough set up time it will just smear, too much time and youll just have a bunch of little bubbles on the wall. If you mess up, just let it dry and pole sand it down. You cant really screw up, just cause yourself more work. It's a messy process so use plastic dropcloths on everything you dont want ruined. When you're done, let it dry and come back and paint over it as normal. You can rent the gun for like $15/day the compressor is a little more expensive. The mix is like $10/bag I believe. I painted and fauxed for years so I did this a bunch. It's actually pretty enjoyable to do, IMO. If you want a nicer, similar finish, I love venitian marble. You will need a course from Home Depot or an experienced faux artist for this though. Let me know if you have any more questions.
  13. Never knew the Govt paid interest on cash "loaned" tp it by the Fed.. Anyone have any raw data on how much the Fed earns in a given year? I liked the final message. Many people are way too disconnected from the things that really count.
