I reasoned that using left over paint may not be a bad idea so I utilised a few odd unfinished pots and finished the (hot!) day with four different colours, white, cream, light blue and pastel green. I thought it looked quite good. Certainly better than before. Not too many people have a multi coloured wall. Obviously I needed to let the paint dry and so I intend to apply the second coat tomorrow. Unfortunately when SWMBO arrived home she was horrified at the technicolour wall. I tried to explain but when you have someone talking at you at 100kmph with gusts of 150kmph, explanations become difficult. The main gist of the one way conversation was, "Whatever made you do that, you silly man?" and "You will have to paint it again." (Expletives deleted.) I am not certain if I should tell her that it was only the first coat so who cares and that it will be covered over tomorrow, or should I just let her stew over what she thinks our friends, and others, will say when they see my handiwork? While I am not too keen on living dangerously, I think that it is a situation that can be milked for a while - at least until I paint it. Then hopefully all will be all white.;)	Roscoe (6288)

736098	2009-01-08 07:29:00	I feel saddened for you that you can't please your woman. You mean there are some who can? I'd love to hear their stories!:groan: I always remember those wise words from my grandfather, "Son, you'll never understand women, but it's fun trying.":D	Roscoe (6288)
736099	2009-01-08 07:48:00	Oh I didn't say anything about understanding women, that is a science that goes way over my head. Reminds me of a song by a pop-punk band entitled 'Mood Rings' Exert: "and i've contrived some sort of a plan to help my fellow man let's get emotional girls to all wear mood rings so we'll be tipped off to when they're ticked off cause we'll know just what they're thinking cause what they're thinking..." Maybe that should be lets get all females to wear mood rings. Maybe someone could invent some sort of device that trips a strobe light attached to the top of any female that are in danger of having a 'moment'.	pine-o-cleen (2955)

It has all been tried my friend. Probably by wiser and smarter men than either you or I! As my long departed father in law used to say...."Wimmin ar queer cattle!"

If you must, do so, but preferably from about 50 yards away so that you have a head start. I often do the same as you (and feel the same, who likes boring single colour walls) but it seems to me our SWMBO's came from the same factory. sarel	sarel (2490)

I will keep that in mind. You are right - a 50 yard start does help, although I am more fortunate than some as SWMBO only has short stubby legs and should, theoretically, have a harder time than most catching me. I don't think that our SWMBOs came from the same factory as mine came from the opposite end of the globe, but it's more likely that both factories used the same plans. I understand that is quite common. Hey Roscoe, you should have left dots where the expletives were deleted. We could have all tried filling the gaps to compare our wimmin's vocabulary. ;) Ken The main gist of the one way conversation was, "Whatever ... .... made you ...... do that, you silly ...... man?" and "You will have to .... ..... paint it again." I have said, in the past, "And you used to be such a nice girl," which is another way of getting yourself into trouble. She agrees and then adds, "But I learnt it all off you." Moi?:o	Roscoe (6288)
