@Mat: I thought we agreed that there was to be no mention of the word “thingy”.

@M-shel: Let me know if you actually work it in. It’s not easy at all.

@Erin: Let me know if YOU can work the phrase in. As I said, it is not easy.

@BonzoGal: The Goatee Saver? Seriously? Ugh. And that guy probably made millions. What am I doing playing around with words? It’s all about plastics, man. PLASTICS. (And don’t put that thing near your junk.)

@N0ia: Good point. Well played.

@Doles: My work is done here. Your bearducation is complete. I shall issue your diploma once I receive your final tuition payment.

Goateesaver has little credibility…anyone who has been educated by dyers.org knows that it should be called ‘Van Dyke-saver’

Goateesaver is BS. It has on the site “Real men wear goatees.” I think all who read this site will agree that REAL MEN WEAR BEARDS!

I’m glad you’ve finally got a competent contractor on your side now.

I let my husband pick all the exterior house colors himself. I don’t really like the colors he picked, but seeing our neon green house is less painful than all the staring at paint chips we had been doing up ’til then. Besides, now our house is easy to find on Google.

I hope the beard trimmer you let advertise on your site is a quality product, and at least as entertaining as the Flow-Bee, or this weird product:

(Hmm, I wonder if that could be used for women’s trimming needs?)

And I probably would have punched that guy in the paint store.

I absolutely love Cook’s Country and Cook’s Illustrated as well as the TV shows America’s Test Kitchen does too. They test recipes so much that you have to trust they’ll be good. And I’ve used a lot of them…
I’m having the hardest time picking out paint colors for our house. The previous owners were way into pastel. Pink, green, yellow, you name it. Ugh! And the wall of paint chips is horrible. I feel your pain.
Doorknob pain, light fixture pain… it will all diminish eventually. Right?
Working “Peanut butter, motherfucker!” into anything this week will also be a goal for me… heh.

Once again I admit to being a complete weirdo–I love to paint. Not artsy paint, but rooms–walls, ceilings, trim, all of it. With that being said, I too vouch for Benjamin Moore paints. You’ll use less paint than a cheaper brand because it’s better quality and requires fewer coats (usually), especially if you’re opting for any darker colors (my favorite being their chili pepper red).

On another note, it’s now a goal to work “peanut butter, motherfucker” into at least five conversations this week…without explanation to the other parties conversing with me.

In house construction there’s a million and a half “thingies”, so don’t sweat it. As long as you can hammer a nail, change a tire, and assemble a desk from ikea you’re still ahead of the game.
