The wait will seem like an eternity! I really like the pics. I also enjoyed reading the article posted above. I am glad that they care more about making a good movie, rather than trying for an Oscar.

they were just scratching an itch when they are shot, as this one was

(one of the hardware stores has an old guy who calls all young women "honey" and is helpful but makes me nervous...) Aww. He doesn't sound too scary. Joint compound is like a very thick frosting, you apply it with a trowel into and over the top of the hole so that it is flush with the wall. It will shrink as it dries, so on the deeper or larger holes, you may have to do a couple of applications. That's why I said it was a pain in the butt; apply, dry, sand, apply, dry, sand! When it is sufficiently smooth, use a very slightly damp paper towel, or a tack cloth and make sure all the dust is off the wall before you paint. This would work for those pinholes Corin mentioned. If you can find them, use your finger to work the joint compound into the holes and smooth as much a possible. When it's dry, sand like the rest.
The joint compound gets lighter as it dries, so if you see a place that has a light and darker area, it is not fully dry. You don't need THAT much, unless you have lots of nasty places on the wall. If you can find a 1 or 2 lb. bucket, that ought to do it for a small space or not too heavy job.

it was just a sprain, no broken bonesThat is good news! A week or two and he should be good as new!

mmmmffffff.... good morning everyone... Are you just rolling out of bed at the crack of NOON!? Hey, I can't talk! I didn't get up until 10! Those late nights are murder as we age, aren't they?
To: ksen
heh. Especially once you know that when the dog finally did get up her courage to come in the house and walked up to cautiously sniff the bear.... I made the bear's head move, and the dog bolted out the door again! LOL!

I am glad that they care more about making a good movie, rather than trying for an Oscar. I wish those two didn't sound mutually exclusive! - But I know what you mean. I also wouldn't predict an Oscar win this year, but I do expect nominations, and most of the hope I place with the Oscars is that they will award the whole effort by giving RoTK the major awards.

Does he still want to try and get a football scholarship after suffering this injury? He says he does. We're taking him to a sports medicine clinic tomorrow a.m. to look at this ankle and his knee (which he hurt last year and has been bothering him).
I've tried to tell him what it's like when you're in your 40s...he doesn't care, he still wants to play and is bummed that he can't tomorrow.

LOL! Central time here, so it was the crack of 11! (or rather, 10:30... getting online is not quite the first thing I do when I wake up in the morning, but it's close!)
To: Bear_in_RoseBear
Sorry Bear. I didn't mean to upset you! ;~D It is terrible the lies and coverups that are allowed to go on because taxidermists make all the bears look like they were attacking when they were frozen in time ;~D No one wants a full mount of a bear squatting in the woods, even if that is more accurate!
To: Corin Stormhands
Of course we care, you grumpy ol' dwarf!
I'm glad to hear it was just a sprain, even though sometimes sprains hurt so bad they feel broken!
Here, I saved you some lunch. Eat up, you've had a long morning!
To: ksen
I'll probably end up doing some painting, mowing the lawn, trying out the bathroom..... Um, gee pal...whatever moves you...

C'mon pal, only about a 150 to go. You can do it before we get to the Precious!

Here, I saved you some lunch. Well thank you very much.
Is there any bacon?

You can do it before we get to the Precious! I'm here. And I think you mean before I get to the precious...
To: HairOfTheDog
I know what you mean. The whole process has become so politicized. If any awards, this installment will get technical awards.

Uh oh, the FReepathon is over. When will the new software changes be implemented? My guess is Sunday.
