    All this eating out - do you really need a kitchen at all?

    pam...still rolling around, holding my tummy!
    my story, would have a few..."I went nuts"...cause when my hubby goes nuts, he can go ballistic...:twisted:
    I don't always do 'well' with that!(go figger, lol)
    :roll: :evil: - :evil:
    was trying to type the word, 'rolling' (see above), and kept backspacing to get rid of the letter ' i ',...was thinking i WAS going nuts...
    finally took finger and cleaned monitor off, lol!!!
    think some glass cleaner is in order. I spit, snort and drool all over this thing all the time...now didn't y'all want that picture? LOL :lol::lol::lol:
    Your story is hilarious...so, how are you and the hubs, doing now?
    Pounds heavier, and dollars lighter? :wink:
    Hi girl - lbs lighter and dollars a looooot lighter. Seems right after we got into this redo thing, I was laid off, he had to have another stint in his heart, etc. Do not spit on a kleenex and wipe the monitor. It is not a child.
    awww, you were peeking :lol:

    Okay - I was gonna wait till I'read every comment before adding mine - but this one got to me. The FIRST time we wallpapered together, my DH threw me out of the room after 'we' put up the 2nd piece - - -

    Pam, my DH heard me gut-laughing at your story and just had to read it, too. He asked if I was gonna tell about the time he tiled a bathroom and didn't know you have to clean the excess grout IMMEDIATELY :x :x :x It took him 2 weeks to clean up that mess. I just laughed and said,'NOT my job, man :lol: "

    you were laid off AND hubby had to have a stint...my goodness,
    they probably put hubby on a heart diet, huh?
    well, good thing you guys went out and enjoyed it, while you could.
    You know every one of us, that have picked about the eating out, go visit the local choke-and-puke, :mrgreen: every time you turn around.
    (cause we can't turn around,...just roll around, lol...:mrgreen::mrgreen::mrgreen: )
    When your remodeling you have to, or there's no time or energy to get the work done.
    Pam, I am making you my official female-Jeff Foxworthy, of the remodeling world :XD:
    (hmmm, maybe that funny klunk under my sink, is the 'genders', banging around :shock: :wink: good gosh, hope they use birth control :!: don't need any 'pipelets', now that I'm an empty nester :lol: )

    We had no choice EXCEPT to remodel when we bought our house - 110 years old, and bought from a woman with 6 kids - mostly teenagers. She worked all day just to get away from them. One bedroom was black - including ceiling and window trim. Every room wallpapered - badly. Kitchen had Montgomery Ward appliances. Does ANYBODY remember Montgomery Ward? And did you know they had appliances?

    Mad Quilter - did you REALLY mean for us to see the picture of your DH in his devil suit lying in bed :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

    (boy I could say more, but biting on my tongue now...leaving before my fingers, do more walking.... :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :lol: )

    your missing the point, LOL...can't tell if he looks good or not, with Martina's red thingy on...
    he's not wearing a devil suit.
    He is mr. incredible...in bed! (right Martina?)
    oh,...she's busy calling hubby,
    -"Honey, your never gonna believe this..." :lol:
