   I am bored and want a new topic about any old crap. Half the topics I avoid because they are a little heavy in my small heavy life. What's everyone up to in their lives. Tell us something interesting or boring it does not matter but it has to be mindless garbage.

   Well, I fell and sprained my ankle Monday night.  In a cast for the next two weeks, then a brace and then physical therapy.  Yippeeee!!    Anyone have any suggestions about how to not go crazy wearing a leg cast.  Never had anything like this happen, but have been enjoying the pain meds.  teehee

      Now this one I can contribute to.  I've spent a couple of months in two leg casts years ago, and then I spent a month and half in one leg cast and one arm cast.  My advice is not to let it stop you from doing anything.      When I had the two casts one foot couldn't go on the floor, but one had a rubber thing on it; so I hopped around on that (with crutches), sometimes using the wall as support.  Part of what kept me entertained was the challenge of trying to keep doing everything I usually did - only in some "new and exciting" way.  Other than that, find a sit-down hobby, like drawing (or else catch up on reading).  (If it itches use an unbreakable ruler for scratching.  )

         yea, they gave me a little rubber bootie to wear, and that has helped in walking and getting around.  Don't have to use the crutches nearly as much.  Thanks for the tip on itching.

   Let's see...  (I think I can only come up with boring)
   
   The other night I cooked with margarine that had an August 09 expiration date, ate the food, and lived to tell about it.  The thing about that was that I'm usually super, super, cautious about food.  I knew the margarine was old but I dared to use it anyway.  That was a big thing for me.    (I can't say I felt good about it, though.  ).
   
   What's the oldest food you've ever eaten, knowing it was old?

         Using a wallpaper with designs that you paint over after you put up the wallpaper. The whole walls are done. Now I have to do the wall areas under, on top and around the cabinets. Lots and lots of cutting. Color scheme, well the painted cabinets are antique white with black hardware. Counter top... how do I describe? lol Dark.. kinda black/dark bluish gray maybe...with tanish/gold specks in it. Hard to describe it. lol

          I appreciate a man's point of view.  I am satisfied but it is in my nature to always want more and we know that this relationship cannot go any further.  We've tried to stop it many times but we always end up toguether again.  The truth be told, I am not prepared to leave everything I have achieved for him and he is not prepared to accept my terms.  Long story short... There is love but there is no future.

       If the paneling originally had a finish on it, or was painted, it shouldn't be terrible. The key is to keep the paper wet in large sections. Lots of spraying, or steaming. If the paper is vinyl or has a coating on it, it will be much more difficult and you'll need to score it to break the surface to get the moisture beneath the coating.

                I can think of a "certain person" who could have used this.  When my kids were really little I did the unusual thing of leaving them with their father for a few hours one day.  My little son liked hard boiled eggs, and that's what his father aimed to get him for lunch.  I came home to a whole, big, story about how something went wrong, how egg and shell ended up everywhere, and how there were still a few pieces of egg stuck on the ceiling.      I really, really, could not believe there would have been a problem boiling an egg.
