Ralph-Lauren Paint. Praise...knocks?! Be Honest!
Comments (33)I forgot about this thread! Paintgal... Is your RL "Merlot"-color a Flat? DEEP tones in many Flats will burnish fairly easily. Reason: There's SO MUCH pigment relative to the "coarser" binder-resin that's inherent to a "Flat" paint. Paints with more of a sheen resist this better. >>> I'm assuming it's been dry/cured for some time??? RedB... >>> Make sure you let your paint cure a day or so b4 a load of steam hits it!! >>> What sheen did you get?? >>> FULL cure for washing is 1 MONTH. I know Decorpas post was over a yr. ago, but we've NEVER had THAT complaint!!! ...but then again...we're using the ACTUAL RL paint/ACE formulas...not getting it matched down into Super-spec or something...like some painters feel the need to do... >>> Our RL colors are spot-on! >>> Many customers need to make sure they SPECIFY the ACTUAL BRAND APPLIED in their painting contracts...IF that's what they desire. >>> Then there's no doubt about the colors/result. >>> If colors or tones seem off...it's NOT the store's fault. It's usually a contractor who just took a liberty to match into "their preferred paint"... I've heard this statement b4... "We applied the color they wanted & it looks off..." We dug a little deeper, and lo and behold...it wasn't actual RL paint used! (I wonder why I have "some" gray hair...;-)) Faron...See MoreSinger Prince has died
Comments (86)I heard that too Robo and I'm not saying that he didn't need the pain killers (even thought there are so many who are abusers and really don't). The problem is they only work for so long which is where I believe the risk escalates because then they have to either increase the dosage or try a different medication entirely and the options for opiates are limited. After increasing the dosage to the max allowable, patients start to mix what they take with other drugs, up the dosages to dangerous levels or both. The way these drugs are controlled now, the laws make it very difficult for a new prescription to be filled until a day or two prior to the old one expiring without the help of a doctor so some see more than one doctor. If the new doctor doesn't do a MAP report to see their prescription history, they have no way of knowing what the other's been prescribing. It's a mess so it's easy to predict that at some point the FDA will once again tighten the laws, but at whose expense? I'm just in files all day long at a variety of clinics and am completely astonished at what I'm seeing....See MoreAre you going to watch the Megan Markle/Prince Harry interview?
Comments (103)“I am, however, intrigued to know why the Palace was quick to announce that they are lauching an investigation into "bullying" (eye roll) claims against Megan Markle, but not into Prince Andrews ties to Epstein and the disgusting accusations made against him. Hmmmmmmmm.” Amylou, the bullying claims started coming out almost as soon as the ink was dry on the marriage certificate, and there was much speculation about the high turnover in Meghan’s personal staff. An investigation is long overdue. In any case it’s an HR issue which is properly addressed by the Palace. Andrew’s case is a police matter, and the Palace has no place investigating it. He has been stripped of all his official duties and is not permitted to appear in any public events as a member of the royal family and is not invited to private royal events either. That’s about as much as the Palace can do until the police make their move. Annegriet, why should Meghan curtsy to the Queen who is not her sovereign? Out of courtesy, the same as non Americans are expected to behave courteously towards US Presidents. And personally I don’t think the royal family would give a rat’s for having a dark family member. Queen Victoria was always thought to have had an Indian servant as her lover for many years. (Look up the story of Victoria and her “Munshi”.)...See MoreDA roses no longer being stocked
Comments (17)I think DA Roses did have contracts with various nurseries in the US and they stipulated which varieties the nursery could sell or not. That seems within their rights. Nobody had to sign a contract with them but if they wanted to sell the newer varieties they did. Then this year, I think DA Roses withdrew the contracts for most of the US nurseries. It is true that the plant patents last for 20 years and after that it is legal to sell them. I don't understand how DA Roses can harass a nursery to stop selling the old, unpatented varieties. It raises a question, whether a patent should be for forever or is 20 years ok. Why 20 years? What is the reasoning? If someone bred a rose, should nobody else ever be able to propagate and sell it? That would certainly change the roses available in commerce. What about drugs? The patent on Tylenol expired I believe, and many generics are offered at lower cost. Should Tylenol have complete control over acetaminophin forever? Diggerdee, some nurseries still offer the old Austins but most are required to use the code names, not the trademarked commercial names. I have spoken with a couple of nursery owners who don't seem interested in selling old Austins with their code names which they used to sell under contract. Like there is something disreputable or sneaky about using the code names. Or I guess it's a matter of once being on the same page with DA Roses and then going contrary to their wishes. DA Roses is a big entity to stand up to. I think a nursery can be upfront about it, within the law, and keep some really great roses available. I would like to hear more about this nursery being harassed though. On what basis?...See Moresultry_jasmine_nights (Florida-9a-ish)
