I went to school with a guy who's last name was Bourgeois.

He was Cajun.

Oh my gosh that was fun! The oven stopped cleaning and I wiped off the top (ouch, dumb me didn't wait for it to cool down first) and then washed all the thingamajiggys that go on top, the wracks, and the knobs. It wouldn't unlock til it was completely cool, so I just went in and checked, it took me maybe five minutes to wipe the inside out and put the racks back in and now it looks just great.

Does anyone know why Ralph Lauren paint is about $10 a gallon more expensive than other paints? (Aside from the name) Like is it better, more durable???

That really does seem bizarre. I mean it's not like you can see the tag!

Designer anything is more expensive. You pay for the name.

You're kidding, right Julie? After all it is Ralph Lauren.

How can I clean the bathroom mirror without leaving smears all over it?

Is there a knack? We now have a huge bathroom mirror and the light comes in at the perfect angle to highlight the smears. I think it looks worse "clean" than dirty!

Just thought - how do you wash microfiber cloths? Do they lose any quality if you put them in the normal wash?

i wash them with the laundry detergent that has no dyes or chemicals. never use softener. i have enough cloths so that when i finally wash them, it is a full load.

Ralph Lauren paint is better than Behr, IMO, it's thicker and goes on better, but the best paint I have ever used is Kilz. You can buy it at Walmart. I just got done painting my living room and dining room with Kilz. It came out absolutely beautiful.

Here's a hint about bathroom mirrors, wipe them down with shaving cream and they won't steam up for a few weeks. (In a bathroom hat you shower in...)

Thanks Escapee... There is this one color that I cannot find anywhere but in Ralph Lauren (between an orange red and a purple red). In the past I have had paint "made" where it was dead on, but then again, the last time it was not the same color...

Soap works, too. Rub soap on the mirror, then rub it off really well. It'll keep 'em from fogging up.

Any suggestions on painting over wallpaper? I NEVER thought I would actually do it, but the wallpaper is on so "tight" that it will never unpeel itself. It will take days upon days to pull off, plus I might end up gauging the walls while I take it off. So I am going to give it a go and do something I swore I would never do.

Any tips? I will ask over in renovations too.

Julie, I thought you could go to most paint centers with a swatch and they could match it exactly.. that may be less expensive than Ralph.

Kilz works great over wallpaper. Or here is a site that gives step by step instructions. http://www.bejane.com/paint_overwallpaper

Thank you very much!!! I think I will bring in a sample and get it matched. It just didn't seem to match perfectly that one time. Serate, thanks for that site.

Ok, I need advice on how these invites should be worded. Here is what I have:

&

Escapee Brother In Law

Saturday, April 14, 2007
5:00 p.m.

Ruthy's

It just doesn't sound right to me.

Escapee, how about...

The pleasure of your company is requested at a reception in honor of the wedding of
Escapee Baby Sister
and
Escapee Brother In Law

<date, other deets, here>


Is the wedding reception immediately following the wedding? Are only some people invited to the reception if so?
