Couch 52 - Are you being served?

maybe in the basement behind the boxes,or in a closet

Woah. Really dark and stormy here. Perfect time to clean, I'd imagine...but I keep getting overwhelmed so easily. Focus! FOCUS!!!

hanging my head in shame ,i dont know this G&S

i got to go get hair cut and then go back to cleaning up the boys room

No...but you know SNL, and that makes up for it.

So, I went to the closet to get my sweatshirt to walk to the Starbucks, and behold, before me was a great black portfolio bag. "Oh, THERE you are!" You all solve my greatest problems, did you know that?

Well, I don't know most of the things you guys are all familiar with, and should be ashamed to assume that everyone knows the things I do!

Gilbert & Sullivan were a couple of British operetta writers at the end of the 19th century. One of their operettas is called H.M.S. Pinafore and there's a song there which is a dialogue between the captain and the crew of the ship, and which includes the lines:

Crew: What, never?
Cap: No, never!
Crew: What, never....?
Cap: Well... hardly ever!

i so hope he surprises me and shows up tomorrow or some time this weekend

Granite, you probably know G & S without knowing that you know it.
The Pirates of Penzance?

i do believe i won the guessing game i did say closet. i am one with the portfolio

thanks for sharing .i think i will have to listen to it a few times to get all the words but i did pick out the phrases you all were referring to.thanks

Glad you found what you were looking for, wiki!

I've already done a smooth layer of brown...now to wait for it to dry. Then I'll do a crackle coat...then my words, and our home will officially be a B52's song.

I don't know G&S either....but I don't know a lot of things cuz I live under a rock. That's what I get for not having television in my house. LOL.

I know, I know - back to cleaning. I keep doing 15-20 minutes of cleaning and then taking a break for a few minutes. That seems to be helping....

So so so so so so so so so so so so so so so tired. I don't think Lexapro and I are going to have a very long relationship. I'm either at total panic or asleep. Not much in between space.

I dated a Very Modern Major General in HS.

lol ok i do know this one lol

Let's see, pbutton. When I dated "Lex", it gave me headaches and sleepiness for several weeks. It took a couple of months before my body adjusted. It did eventually help with the anxiety but I had to get up to 20mg a day.

That is just effin amazing. I'm not kidding.

I found a website called ufyh - uneff your habitat! - that advocates doing 20/10's - 20 minutes of work. It also has hints for those living with chronic illnesses.

I advocate for 10/30's. lol. ten minutes of work, thirty on the couch. We should make that our slogan:

Welcome to the couch, A 10/30 group.

I am board...so you all have to put up with me today. I am going to post my project step by step.

Step 1 was cut, shape and sand the wood.
Step 2 shown here is paint a base coat

Now I need to decide how to word it. The one I saw was on sale for $200, and it said LOVE SHACK. However, in the original B-52's video, the sign was "Shaque D'amour"
so, which shall I do?

Oooh, I like Shaque D'amour

I don't think "shaque" is actually a word though.

Where's Apt? Woo Hoo...Grammar Nazi...Where art thou?

Shaq d'Amour has a whole nuther meaning...

Eta: Chez Amour?

you rang?

darnit, that was supposed to come out as all caps.
