Knew that only after my stupid (that is a kind word for her) mail lady banged on my door last year and told me to stop reusing stamps (which I wasnt, they were new, but the edge of them had some tape on them where I had taped the end of the envelope shut and some tape was on the stamps. (this isnt why I dont like that mail lady, she had also informed me that she would no longer pick up bubble envelopes from my house as she didnt want to clutter her maibag with them, she also was throwing my mail in my flowerbed instead of putting it in my box and was just really crappy to me all the time. I called the postmaster twice to tattle on her and finally told him I was going to slap the snot out of her if she darkened my doorway ever again. She was put on a different route for her own protection and my sanity. The new mailman was a sweetie and he picked up all of my mail and took care of things for me. I called the postmaster again to tell him that the new guy was a sweetheart and doing a wonderful job. Apparently a lot of people had problems with the old mail lady and I nearly got a parade in my honor for getting her off our route. lol. The clear tape to cover the envy is great and they do last longer.

Yeah, what is with this cold weather? I'm so disgusted. I live in South Carolina too, my poor gardenia's little leaves are chattering. Don't worry that much about your camellia though, it'll probably be fine. I myself wouldn't cover it, I'd be afraid that I would knock the buds off, but that's just me. I can't wait til it warms up a bit. Geeessshhhh!

I wonder if christina ended up liking her home, or, if once it was done she slightly shuddered. It does seem to suit her personality, but over time I do think tastes change and her style doesn't lend it self to modification very well.

I have never used F&B, but I don't think that matters. This is a problem normal painters have using dark colors since the paints became all acrylics. The problem is usually the location of windows and the location of the wall being painted. I mean...is that a ceiling? This is the reason people will say that they used the same product and it looked perfect. Each room is different because of the way the light from the windows hit the surface being painted. If you want to fix this problem, then spray it!
