  • Shabby chic furniture does, and always will, look like seagull crap.

    I just bought a quartered oak gramophone from England. English oak is the stuff of poetry and fable... and it's buried under a shade between "seagull squirt" and "white woman's Instagram."

    Sad. I hope the acetone needed to strip the paint doesn't do too much harm to the oak.

    I use citrus base removers and will probably strip afterwards with denatured alcohol and then refinish in orange shellac. It should turn out all right!
    My girlfriend hates "modern farmhouse."
    My new job is awesome, and there's a plant boss in New Models now curious about something I am inventing, so perhaps in a few years it might get more awesome.
    Sorry I haven't been posting tons lately--I like all you all; just very busy with some things I need to do!

    Hey. You are successful. WHY are you apologizing? Own it.
    I started a job today & I like this one better.

    What? Is this another friggen success story? Yay.

    @Aspychata you can say that, I guess--I went in for orientation at a factory & the trainer suggested at the end of the day I check out applying for IT instead of production or welding. Now I like that idea but I would rather "earn my stripes" on the assembly-line.THEN I can go up and see about something more.
    I hope I can apply for an apartment next and go get a place to live.
    I'm half excited & half grateful about being able to go to work at an actually adequate job, not this minimum-wage nonsense where I can't live alone or start prepping for a family.
    Taking a vacation from blue light: dark midnight, radio dial lamp & a plain candle. I love the dark like this--it does not hurt to look at; it looks the way quiet feels.
    I hope I can get a job & then watch the bottom fall out of the housing market. A home is where hearth & family are--It's not capital investments; it's a human right.

    Work of 3 weeks setback, depressive state returning. Deep distrust, isolation. Time to work on changing that.

    I appreciate your attitude. Recognize the hardship, but keep moving forward. Keep your eyes on the horizon where there is definitely hope for change.
    Finally. Someone bought a very expensive item from me but he actually paid me this time unlike the other guy. Thank goodness.

    It was a $600 record player. I have to crate it & ship it but at least it's money.
    James McMurtry wore a dress to protest Florida's drag laws. He's a rough, tough country music singer. Would that mean he is 'the Old Rugged Cross(dresser)?' The world wonders!

    How do kilts feature in these drag bans?

    I do wonder a little if it makes a difference. I could put on a dress right now, but I think it would just upset people more than it would help anything. I don't have the legs for it. ;)

    Maybe upsetting a few people is the point. Whatever it was, I thought it interesting because country music in the 1920s and '30s had elements of protest music in it. This is a bit of a throwback to country's roots, in that sense, but in a lot of other senses a very 21st-century concern.
    Attacking at trans people is going to hurt a lot of autistics.
