I'm feeling....

Crown moulding? Is that what we call cornice? The plasterwork that finishes the join of the drywall on the wall and ceiling?

I actually typed that this morning but deleted it because I thought it looked like I was kissing dopey's ass...

I was wondering if the place has the high, colonial skirting board to go with it.

[ramseycat]

Wow rams, that is some awesome crown molding, in your beautiful villa!

Yes! I love it. It's very pretty and looks classy.

Crash, the counters are granite. That is all the rage here for the last few years. It's not sparkly though.

two steel quarter pipes for skating that my son has in the garage.

I had two steel quarter pipes on the side of my house for years that my son finally let me get rid of. He still rides a skateboard once in a while, but that's just for transportation and not because he has dreams of becoming a professional skateboarder anymore. I don't know how many thousands of dollars I spent on that skateboarding crap.

Granite is nice for countertops. When I finally get around to losing this orange seventies formica shit in my g/f kitchen that's what we'll go with.

Ramsey's powder room -

I've been seeing that wall color a lot recently and I like it. I've seen a brick red that I like a great deal too, I don't normally like bold colors on walls but that low key red is warm & inviting.

Ditch the fake flowers that look like they were stolen from a Chinese takeout bathroom and the plastic grocery bag and it will look pretty decent in there.

[Duchess]

Oh thank god someone told her. I didn't want to rain on her parade.

[ramseycat]

I always line the waste basket. And I like the flowers.

Duchess, my hairdresser had her kitchen painted in the prettiest red/maroon color. Ira called Merlot by Behr. I love it! I might paint my kitchen that color at some point.

[Duchess]

Behr paint is the very best paint out there. I highly recommend it. It's sold by Home Depot, maybe others but that's the only place I buy it from. Even Consumer Reports ranks it the highest. I think Consumer Reports is God.

You're not eighty for Christ's sake, Ramsey. If you're gonna go with that kind of décor then you may as well just hang your stockings and one of those old fashioned enema bags on the back of your door.

And why line the waste basket with Walmart bags? It's a powder room, I doubt anyone is going to throw unwrapped tampons or dirty Depends in there.

[ramseycat]

Who knows Sally. I have two teenage boys. They are a constant source of nasty. I have little liners for the waste baskets. In a box somewhere. I used the Wally's bag in the meantime.

[Duchess]

They are a constant source of nasty.

I was going to ask how but instead asked myself if I really wanted to know.

[ramseycat]

You don't.

[sally]

Boys are gross, as are girls. In fact I think girls might be worse. When I had my cleaning business I don't know how many ladies I had to tell that I draw the line at picking up bloody pads and tampons that your poodle chewed to shreds upstairs.

[ramseycat]

So fucking emotional. We are at the gate waiting to board. At least we are first class. I just want to get the fuck home. I'm trying to be all angry an surely so I don't have a meltdown. If one more person says what a great sister I am, I'm going to kick them in the shin. Really really hard. So fuck off Mockers. Someone be mean to me do I can get bitch on. Oh and I'm fucking starving.

Yesterday was a nightmare. Long story short they dropped Mike getting him into his seat on the plane in Albany. EMTs had to be called. We finally got here but by then Mike was in tremendous pain and had skin tears from all the moving. We ended up going to the hospital as a precaution. Didn't get home until 2:30 but the EMTs the brought us home were amazing! I got to ride shotgun in the ambulance. The daytime aid is awesome. Mike is doing well and we are watching football.

[Duchess]

My God that's awful!

You're such a great sister, Ramsey.

[ramseycat]

No I'm not Duchess. Sometimes I think I'm barely hanging on. And I really hope this all works out. Thank God both the aides are so great. It really helps maker less uneasy about this.

[sally]

My mom has aides around the clock now, but there is one who is kind of nutty and she called me yesterday saying to get over there right away because my mom is getting ready to pass away and she doesn't want me to bring the kids. I figured my mom didn't want them to see her that way, but when I got there she said she never told the aide that and she wanted to see the kids, so then I had to drive all the way back home to get them. I ended up spending the night there and had maybe an hour of sleep. They have her on enough dope to kill an elephant so that could be why her vital signs are so low, I don't know...

[ramseycat]

I would be calling 911 or her doctor Sally. That isn't right.
