I'm with Jade. The casual, almost celebratory, nature with which some folks in this thread are talking about shooting people... it hurts me, greatly. I'm glad things have stayed civil, too. But I am absolutely demolished emotionally by this thread. Part of me wishes I'd never read it, or commented a...

Please speak for yourself, Kat . I'm a woman and I rarely if ever think about rape. And I have actually been sexually assaulted, so it's not like I'm living in a dream world. Also, with the proper training, women can learn how to evade and escape even a large man. Not in every situation, of course. ...

no piece of property is worth a human being's life ^^^ I agree with this, but I don't think that the OP here is saying "don't steal my stuff, I'll kill you", rather it's a deterrant (sp?).

Thanks, Mary ! I think this is the encouragement I need to try Safe Paint. They don't do samples...but it's also pretty cheap for a pint (or whatever small size they have).

Ok, so that's not *exactly* the same situation. But I think you get my drift!

I've got an upstairs closet that hasn't been painted in forever. It's a gorgeous peacock blue-green. I got an SW sample in a very very close match, and I hate it. I've tried about seven other sample paint colors on various walls in my house. I hate them all. It's taken me a while to realize that wha...

I've been able to leave SmartStrip with plastic wrap on it for over 48 hours. I think it very much depends on things like weather, temperature, type of paint being stripped, how much you glop on in the first place, etc. So, I don't want to assure you that this will work in your case! I've also found...

So very, very frustrating. I've tried to stop watching tv all together. Cause it just makes my blood boil.

I find that I have such very different priorities than so many people around me. TV just makes it that much more apparent.

Hey, rdansmith, wanna show us some evidence to that effect? We'll wait...
