A 45 RPM record is the perfect size to use as a pattern for cutting tile for around a toilet.

have fun!
metalpeter - 05/21/09 18:37
that looks gross, I assume from the tittle you need a new Toliet?

Earth/lung friendly paint
Category: linwood
Home depot has this new low VOC lung and earth friendly paint line. I
would probably use this for everything from now on but $35/gallon is
kind of steep considering I don't know if it works well or not. They
should have a cheaper introductory price so you could test it. The
color selection is great.

I don't know who makes it but I saw an interesting ad for some kind of paint that they claim helps your house smell better. I think that they claim that it obsorbs the smells but I'm not sure it sounded like it would be pretty costly, I also wondered if it was safe does anyone know. I rent so it really isn't an issue for me.

Get together BBQ?
Category: holiday
Anyone down for a bbq on sunday at the 24? (e:southernyankee) is in town and we thought being memorial day weekend and all it might be a good time to have a bbq?
paul - 05/23/09 20:04
You guys can being food or drinks or dessert but I will prob have enough food here even if you don't bring anything as not the many people are going.

I am going to make sausage and burgers/ maybe ribs. Robert and James are making different kinds of salads, libertad is making pasta salad.
vincent - 05/23/09 15:15
I'm with (e:metalpeter) do we need to bring our own stuff? Also what time does this all start?
metalpeter - 05/23/09 09:46
Would I be correct to assume that if I grabbed some burgers on my way over someone could cook them up? I suck at grilling my self
fellyconnelly - 05/21/09 20:22
looks like an awesome opportunity for me to reconnect with everyone, but of course sunday and monday are my only opportunities to visit my mom....
Drat.
metalpeter - 05/21/09 18:40
Sounds like a great idea (I don't think I'm doing anything).
james - 05/21/09 15:47
gosh darn it. I love Ms. Southernyankee too.
jenks - 05/21/09 15:17
Im on call all weekend, but could still maybe swing by...
mrmike - 05/21/09 13:45
That would be cool.
jim - 05/21/09 13:19
James and I will be out of town :(
matthew - 05/21/09 12:53
What a great idea Paul! The weather should be nice on Sunday.

Sushi at wasabi

(E:enknot) and I went to wasabi on elmwood for lunch the other day. We
both got the sushi/sashimi lunch for $12. It comes with lots of fish
and 6 crunchy crab peices. I also ordered some octopus and the sales
girl upsild us on some toro (fatty tuna) which brought my total closer
to $20 which is redox for lunch but it's also rare we eat sushi of
that caliber.

jbeatty - 05/20/09 21:55
Yeah, they are all about pushing toro there. I got roped into the live scallop, which I'm certain wasn't really live. I like wasabi for lunch, service is a bit on the akward side thought.
jenks - 05/20/09 17:35
Have you been to Seabar? I finally went... and it was definitely good- but i'm not sure it was AS good as everyone made it out to be. (I'd been told that once I eat there I will NEVER want to eat sushi ANYWHERE else again.) It was also super expensive. Like $10-12 for a roll. I like wasabi.
jason - 05/20/09 13:26
Last time I ate at Wasabi the waitress pushed the Toro as well. I went with the Uni instead because I always wanted to try it. Have you ever had the Uni? Interesting texture to say the least.

Anyway, I really like fatty tuna belly. Eating seafood is in my blood but I really don't get enough of it.
hodown - 05/20/09 12:55
That is SO much sushi for $20. If I ordered that here it would easily be $40 plus..

Color me jealous.

I wrote this after my first conscious visit to a hospital. I fell on
a pine cone and it ripped up my knee on 5-22-84. I remember the
doctors picking pine needles out of the wound and saying how it is
dangerous if they got inside. Apparently, I was bad at spelling then
too.

mrdeadlier - 05/19/09 14:56
