Im not the type that needs the 35K outdoor kitchen, I was think'n simple.
...and a polished look outside would be...well, silly!

Stone can have permeability issues too.
A friend introduced high end concrete flooring here.
It isn't cheap when done right, but can be finished like stone, but in shapes and curves harder to cut in stone, and in custom colors.
His own living room was mirror finished black concrete, patio was dark red.
Joints are cut in geometric patterns or designs.

Concrete kitchen work usually has backstops cast in.
If you have a choice that works, I'd use stone for that.
But they build boats out of concrete, so it can be watertight.

Sunday brings: eplaya procrastination coffee dreaming. Going to the Weird stuff warehouse to pick up some nimh battery packs, 7.6aH 12V, 29 bucks ea. We have some overnight pricing work to do this week. Lots of pallets and crap to get down out of the overheads for (shudder) black Friday. (Shit, the Christmas carols start this week, tree lot too... fuck the 4 months of retail Christmas. I have to remember to put crappy clothes in the car for unloading trees.) I want to bring a kick ass sound system to drown out the muzak. So amp finishing, speakers wiring, and battery charging today. Small unit, will fit easily in a shopping cart. Little amp and subwoofer... I want more boom boom boom! I've found that good music, good coffee, and a silly hat can make stupid hard middle of the night work a bit more bearable, even fun.

Nice to see you survived Idaho, Goathead. There should be a tshirt for that. Good thing Mona doesn't read the boards or you might be in the doghouse at home.

What are we building? I'm hearing talk of concrete and steel. It sounds rather serious. I musta missed something. Last thing I heard we were building was a purple leather plinth for Crypto.

Went to the International Survivors of Suicide Day conference yesterday. It was not at all what I expected and I have met others who have been where I'm at. I'm thinking that alone was worth it. And to see that eventually I'm going to get through all this grief. We don't hear about suicide as much as cancer, heart disease, etc. but suicide is the 4th leading cause of death. It was good to be with others who know the feelings I'm going through.

Okay, I know that was a downer for you guys to read, but yesterday was an upper for me.

edit: just fixed a typo

Deb Prothero · Post by **Deb Prothero** » Sun Nov 22, 2009 3:58 pm

Finally read back a couple pages here. I guess I haven't been here for a day or so.

You're right ygmir, I do need to lighten up a bit. Goats as black ops is a funny idea. I suppose there was some laugh moments in the film. And George was nice to look at. Ugly Dougly may enjoy the film.

As for movies that make statements. Well, it's all the progressive world has for making statements right now - the mainstream media sure isn't doing it!!!

I missed out on the hot cocoa on Saturday and it looked so yummy.

Now THAT is my kind of thinking

Deb Prothero · Post by **Deb Prothero** » Sun Nov 22, 2009 4:30 pm

Hey, LeChat. Nice to see you.

Yup, it's the silly hat that does it for sure. I smiled when I read that one too. Elorrum must be up to some good if he/she is selling Christmas trees for a cause. The silly hat will make the job easier and the oomph oomph music will drown out the endless commercial Christmas music.

They should make congress wear silly hats, it would make C-Span a lot more fun to watch...

Deb Prothero · Post by **Deb Prothero** » Sun Nov 22, 2009 4:33 pm

that's a very funny image, Lonestoner.

LeChatNoir · Post by **LeChatNoir** » Sun Nov 22, 2009 4:43 pm

That might change the whole political process actually. Iâ€™m for it!

Hi Deb. Go to see youâ€™ve found some healing vibes with others.

Deb Prothero · Post by **Deb Prothero** » Sun Nov 22, 2009 4:43 pm

I also had an image come to mind. I wonder if all the Congress wore tin foil hats would they be able to think without being impacted by corporate interests!!!

lonestoner916 · Post by **lonestoner916** » Sun Nov 22, 2009 4:47 pm

Actually Deb, tinfoil hats wouldn't work because in 2005 corporations began planting microchips directly into the brains of the politicians...

Dear Fucking Dwag

Deb, you have every right to say what you're going through, this is a bar after all. And your post was not overly heavy or anything like that. Just a couple of paragraphs about where you went--no rending of garments, no crying out to the heavens, no screaming "it's not fair."

Heck, I know you're canadian and therefore polite, but really, grief is messy and painful and something that every human goes through. You're allowed to fully acknowledge the reality of what you are going through.

LeChatNoir · Post by **LeChatNoir** » Sun Nov 22, 2009 4:49 pm

I think those interest come in from the other end. Oh waitâ€¦ that's how they come to us after going through Congress.

Deb Prothero · Post by **Deb Prothero** » Sun Nov 22, 2009 5:05 pm

Thanks Crypto. I guess I'm over serious and over polite. It's been a bit messy for me these last couple weeks. (AND the God damn maid hasn't been here - wonder if I could borrow the fembot to do laundry and clean up the dishes).

Next time I'll try rending some garments to create a bit of excitement!!!

LeChat I think Lonestoner has it figured out - the damn chips are already installed.

ygmir · Post by **ygmir** » Sun Nov 22, 2009 5:11 pm

I'd think the chips are suppositories............straight to their brains..........

Deb, I like your impression of it, me doing good for others and selling Christmas cheer. however,

Elorrum (I, she) works for a purely commercial concern. Not an afficianado of the oontz oontz repetition (not anti, just nmcot) I appreciate a little story with my music. I will be listening to classic rock and Nina Simone, with a sprinkling of Bob and Ray for laughs, working through the middle of the night with a few other people in a big box store, to fix some issues from a recent audit, and to do whatever needs to be done to prep for Christmas sales. For some reason, I find I work happier in a silly hat.

LeChatNoir · Post by **LeChatNoir** » Sun Nov 22, 2009 8:32 pm

Silly hats always make things easier.

And on a different note, since Xingu is a regular beer to be passed about â€˜round here, this seemed like an interesting article to share. Involving, oddly enough, a fellow who has, himself, been to Burning Man a time or two.
