The Kitchen Table

Good news from back home last night!

14 years ago

My brother, who's been out of work for 3 1/2 years got offered a job! Unemployment in NV is 14% and he was getting really depressed. He just has to pass the drug test. He will be making a lot less than his last job but he's pretty happy he just found something.

congratulations to him! My cousin Dianne has been out of work for years. She found a seasonal job for 8 or 9 weeks. Maybe it will become permanent or lead to soething better.

I dunno this is why i posted, i need to be set straight : D what ever it is, ill be happy to share some if it, i do enjoy it, neat, tidy, and beautifully marked, but i really want some big sans varieties! Mason congo, fisheri, stuckyi, i really dont know what others get monsterous in time, but that what im shootin for next. Im not sure but i fear its too late this year to do any mailing to the north tho, there always next spring tho. hopefully by then we all have some lovely new sans to swap around. Ive been poking around and all the links i find to cultural practices with golden hahnii lead me back here...

As you know, Jeanne, you had me crying and doing the Happy Dance all at the same time. And I can't begin to tell you how much your courage and strength through-out this terrible ordeal has touched me. You are so inspiring, and show there is light even in the darkest storm of one's life. I admire you more than you'll ever know. love and hugs, Karen

New Elevations, Please Review (Epiphany Late Last Night)
Q
Comments (36)
So for those who are interested, I did some elevations for the inside too. Just for some of the details to show my builder. these were done in photoshop by me so are not 100. the first one is the divider between the kitchen/dining and the great room. Yes I know that all natural wood is more craftsman but I wanted a lighter look and paint grade is a lot less expensive than furniture grade moldings. Especially since my wood of choice is cherry. Yes the columns will also be triangular like the porch columns. :) the fireplace wall is opposite the kitchen entry and that wall will be cherry. there will be handmade tile around the fireplace. I am considering doing a coffered ceiling in the living room again using paint grade and then painting the ceiling itself in a color. I'm not sure yet whether I'll go with a picture rail or a frieze board. I'm leaning towards the frieze board. Crown molding will be simple to work with the rest of the moldings. Maybe this for crown molding.

Anyone watch "The Good Place" on TV last night?

"... the running joke about her inability to curse in the Good Place was wearing thin." One preview that was aired about 1,000 times too many was when Kristen Bell's character tosses a disposable coffee cup towards a trash can but misses. Some guy asks, "Are you going to pick that up?" Kristen's character replies, "Are you going to eat my farts?" I have no idea if that's part of the inability-to-curse thing or not, but that alone was enough for me to conclude, "Nope. Not going to watch that one."

Let's have more good news like this. My DD has landed a full time job, but has yet to work more than 23 hours a week. Volumteered to do shifts no one else wanted this weekend and still hasn't made a 40 hour week. The economy is moving, but like molasses.
