I'm making veggie chili and it smells sooooo good.

Dinner smells so good that I'm thinking about food all day.

TSP works for prepping the area even for primer.

Textured soy protein?

@ajstringham said:

@Dominica As far as primer though, the paint will still give better coverage.

Obviously, but the point of primer is that it's a lot less expensive to use as a base upon which to paint. That having been said, I don't normally use it because I hate cleaning brushes.

Primer isn't really necessary. Using an extra coat of paint accomplishes the same thing. Primer is an illusion most of the time on interior walls. Unless you're going from brick red to eggshell, and even then, you don't need primer overall.

Not entirely true. Primer is less expensive than regular paint, so if you are painting a large room, it is more economical to do a coat or 2 of primer before 1 coat of the main paint. I have found that no matter what color paint you are painting over, you need 2 - 3 coats of regular paint, even if you use one of those "all-in-ones".

Depends on how many peppers you had if it is the power room.

@kweenkmatt : Pepper eating contest. Nuff said.

Did anyone else notice that those people in the video used Reepicheep as their company logo?

I think a mango and a pepper. +mango -pepper

Funny story: So Ohioans are weird. To illustrate this, when Scott and I were first married, his grandparents were visiting and his grandfather kept talking about mangoes and how much he loved them, and I was like, oh that's interesting, cause mangoes are somewhat exotic and it sounded like he ate them all the time. So it was years later that I discovered that his Mom's side of the family calls bell peppers "mangoes". No idea why, but I was pretty confused about why grandpa was eating sausage and mangoes.

@Dominica VOC - does that stand for zero volatile organics?

Yes

Will we be getting new facts daily?

That's the plan, but I get distracted easily, so feel free to pick up my slack if I forget!

Am I right that the little arrowheads on either side of a zero in post headers are up and down voting?

@kweenkmatt

Yes, you can get special paint, or do what Addie said and use semi gloss or glossy. I personally always use Olympic Premium paint, because it is zero VOC. It costs more, but it's worth it, IMHO.

I'd like to hear some feedback on this. I don't have any XP machines to test it on, or I would do so.

About 3/4 of your average turd is made of water.

Nope Water Closet was on purpose, it's where all the non-IT crud goes

I know it was on purpose, it's just silly, and I am now forced to post random facts about poo. You asked for it!

@kweenkmatt said:

@Dominica I think it was intended to be Water Cooler, but I'm not sure.

I don't think it was intended to be named that, but I think calling it Random might make more sense. Otherwise I will be forced to post a daily joke or fact about poo.

Does this mean that we can only post potty humor here?
