Simple sugars give you an immediate energy fix but burn
out very quickly. Complex carbs will give you energy
for the next morning. Like pasta and potatoes.
 
Many serious runners will eat some complex carbs the
night before a morning race. Just don't eat too much.

You could just as well eat bread or rice. Those are complex carbs too.
Basically, food gives us energy. But we already knew that.

Keep in mind he's not just any mental patient. He's also a cannabis
RN, employed and working part time.
 
Also a climate anarchist. And so much more.

So it's not as American as apple pie, although that's actually
European.

Joan, not everyone is obsessive over a bit of garlic. Why are you?

If you're an old school Anglo (or Dutcho), garlic on a person's breath
stinks. If you work in close proximity to people, that's something to
take into account.

You've mentioned them many times. And that's why Gregory Morrow is
posting this - to suck up to you. Because he knew you'd approve of
it and that pleases him in some demented fashion.

For yourself, you can take all the shortcuts and risks you want. When
you provide a professional service, the bar's raised higher.

I always used oil paint on wood, but I keep seeing and hearing more
and more water based paint on wood. I only ever used that on ceilings
and walls.
 
I guess they're banning oil based for environmental or health reasons.

I'd think there will still be oil based for steel/iron and for wood
decking, however most people are now using fiberglass decking/fencing,
color is built in so needs no paint. I don't think many use oil based
for indoor house paint. For concrete most would choose an epoxy
paint. I used to build plastic models and painted those with a paint
similar to nail polish, least it smelled like nail polish. But that
was very long ago, there must be different paints now.
 
 
>cost.
 
>I'm sure Joan could do it easily without the extra step
>though. ;)
 
When we first moved here and went to paint the living room, the
largest room, water based paint litterally slid off to the bottom from
gravity. We discovered that they used an oil based paint (ballpark
mustard yallow) that they had left over from their factory down the
road, their family owns a local company that builds custom high end
metal furniture and other expensive metal products, like automoblie
elevators... Hollywood people like Jay Leno would order them for
storing their many vehicles.
 
That ballpark mustard yallow color was awful, so in the end we sanded
the walls in that entire 20' X 30' room... we used those rubberized
electric vibrating palm sanders. A dusty job so we suited up and wore
respirators... it worked, we were able to use water based paint with
no problems. The ceilings throughout this house are 1' sq. Celotex
tiles... excellent sound absorbtion and adds great insulation. Easy
to paint with a roller.

Yep, maybe somebody will use it for a rainbow tribe flophouse.

But metal ones don't burn and also transmit heat into the center of
the food promoting more even cooking.

As a kid, I've eaten some C-rations. Or maybe K-rations?
I seem to remember them as about sardine-sized green cans
or maybe just a tiny bit larger. Same shape though.
 
I thought they tasted well enough but then, I didn't have
to rely on just them for several days.
 
I'd like to try a few of the newer MREs someday.

Now Popeye, yoose know they have lots of pineapples there. And
yoose ate just about every pineapple in the navy, before they threw
yoose ass out.

Over the years, I've painted every room in my house with water based
paint except the bathrooms. I even went from whitish to forest green to
whitish in the living room. By the time I finished two walls, one was dry
enough and I had two to go. And then, I'd repeat.Once, I painted a
popcorn ceiling with a roller, and that didn't go well. That ceiling is
smooth, but painted, today. It's the only one in the house like that.
On the other hand, I don't paint fast and have had no interest in
painting more than one room in a day. So, unlike Gary, I paint a room as a
project, not a houseful of rooms as a job. Now, I won't even stand on the
bottom rung of a ladder without support, so my iffy painting days are over.

>expensive and not as good.
 
I chose Rustoleum because of those new metalic colors, I used their
Hammered Copper on that tank and was very pleased with the results,
and only gave it one coat so far... I still have the second quart for
another coat when/if needed. One quart gave it a generous coat.
Everyone who sees it is very impressed and asks about that paint.
I saved myself a 40 mile round trip to the big hardware stores by
ordering it from Amazon:
https://www.amazon.com/Rust-Oleum-239074-Hammered-1-Quart-Packaging/dp/B0010OKLO0/ref=sr_1_2?dchild=1&keywords=rustoleum+metallic+paint&qid=1594735023&sr=8-2
Looks good next to our yellow barn. Was quite a job setting up that
275 gallon tank and moving it into place by myself. Even empty it's
very heavy and with no handles was difficult to move.
I used an 8' 2" x 4" as a lever to lift one end at a time and swing it
into place on those concrete pads. First thing was to place it on one
end so I could screw in those legs, those are extras. All the parts
are extras, the gauge, the rotary pump, the vent pipe, the fill, and
fittings and valve on the underside for draining any condensation. I
had to set it at a slight angle to use that valve to drain water
acculations. I've since added a filter that catches particulates and
sucks out water... so far no water, the place I buy diesel gives a
clean product.
That tank saves me time, labor, and money. I got tired of having to
drive to a gas station to fill two five gallon cans with diesel each
week, and gas stations don't sell off-road diesel which isn't taxed as
high. Sears had the lowest price for that tank. The fuel oil dealers
wanted twice as much for a tank. Sears charged $434.00. With the
legs, gauge, fill, and vent it cost $536.50. I bought the crank pump
and filter from Amazon... don't remember the price and don't feel like
looking it up... probably another $150. Oh, and I had to buy a larger
pipe wrench than I had for those 2" legs and other fittings. Bought
the drain valve and those fittings too. The Rustoleum paint was the
least expensive part.

You should tell them to come at 6 or 6:30 if they want to.
They probably would, if you let them
 
On very hot days, once 12 noon comes, the heat really goes
nuts...especially working on a roof.
 
So hot and humid here, even on the ground. So glad I
don't have to work outside all day any more. arrghh.

Help her out, take the survey so she can graduate and get that marketing
degree. Maybe it will keep her off welfare.
