Do you like to give people a taste of their own medicine?
Comments (26)I think (hope?) I've learned to treat others in a better way then perhaps they sometimes treat me/others. As a smart pastor once preached in a sermon, who is the potter? The point was to not let other people be my "potter" and craft my behavior, rather let God craft my behavior. So I try not to mirror others' bad behavior. OJ, I think I'm missing your point. I don't quite understand. I don't think that those people in your former congregation had bad situations because of nasty things they'd done previously. But I'm not sure if you think so or not. I think that nasty or impolite people are likely more unhappy than those who are the opposite. I know that when I have bad days and behave negatively, I'm unhappy both with the circumstances and with myself. Suzique...See MoreWhat's your latest obsession?
Comments (61)SunnyC, you should start a new obsession thread every month. I enjoy reading everyone elses "preoccupation"lol! obsession Compulsive preoccupation with a fixed idea or an unwanted feeling or emotion, often accompanied by symptoms of anxiety. A compulsive, often unreasonable idea or emotion. You asked for a pic of my finished stenciled wall. I did this project at work, not at home. I wanted something a bit over the top in scale. The scroll is almost 3' high though I wish I could have found one about 5'. The walls are 24' so it would have been kinda cool if I brought them up even higher. Didn't want to stencil from an extension ladder though. A broken bone is not in my plans for the future! Anyway, here is a pic. Product has been hastily thrown back in place, so just look at the wall please:) For perspective, the pink is painted to a height of 9'. The stenciling goes around the corner about another 20'. So that project has now led me to the next phase of my obsession which is painting this harlequin pattern on an opposite wall. I'm thinking just a shot of it. Three rows wide and going up about 12'. I found a company that offers diamond shaped stencils in a 4' x 2' size. I could achieve the Harlequin pattern with painters tape, a level and a tape measurer, but that's giving me a headache thinking about it.......See MoreMy latest obsession: Labyrinth
Comments (36)I've seen the monks making those mandalas. It is a meticulous and time consuming process. As for encroaching on wetlands -- wetlands serve an important purpose not just for flood control but also for filtering water. Wetlands are, in a sense, the lungs of our water supply. Through the process of moving through the wetlands, our water is purified. Although it's easy to believe that one little encroachment isn't bothering anyone it's not really about bothering a person. It's about interfering with a natural process that is environmentally important. The value of this is well enough understood that this land is given the designation to protect it from interference. I think Pesky on this boards is in the environmental planning business and would know lots more than I do. From a local zoning standpoint, I believe it is actually a violation to build anything on wetlands, even just a temporary maze. I would also tend NOT to use round up, certainly not in the quantities you would need to "weed" an area this large. Despite claims to the contrary, Round up does seep into the water and the earth. It does have pernicious and lasting toxic effects. It is not a harmless chemical at all. And I would certainly not use it in a designated wetland which is probably connected directly or draining directly into a nearby stream or river watershed. It would be a very bad practice indeed....See MoreCan I share my latest paint version of my sink wall?
Comments (10)I pretty much like the larger window size. If you don't mind the 12" cab, which could be useful in many ways, I'd keep it. Candice (or Sarah?) did a Marmoleum checkerboard floor the other day using 3 colors. I didn't like the way it looked, although the material itself looked very interesting. One concern I have about the fridge size: 32" isn't a common size. They exist, of course, but in the larger scheme of things it might be tricky to replace it someday with another that width, and your opening in the cabinetry is very specific. Just be sure you think about that and are comfortable that you'll have reasonable options some day down the road. What's the thing on top of the fridge? It kind of looks like a mini wood-fired stove, but that seems unlikely....See MoreFeathers11
