  • Oh, Bollocks!

    Rusty, there really are people named Bollocks! They make stone composition counter tops and I had a nice visit with one of their employees. I carefully asked about the name and he grinned and said that every time he works with Brits, they chortle like mad.

      Lammy! <<<hugs!>>>

      Just the island for starters. A friend got this black, leathery-looking granite top for her kitchen and now Strong Will is jonesing for a new top to the island. Our current top is a really good laminate that has been impervious to everything we've thrown at it, but it's passé. Our friend's new counter top is vulnerable to scratches, and that only works because she's really compulsive about how she uses it. I'm not, so I said yes as long as we get something really tough, so we're getting a quartz composition. It should be very pretty, but we'll see how it holds up to real life.

        <<<hugs>>> right back at ya! (Who was it here that used to object to smiley faces? Can't remember now).

        It's always fun to do something new to kitchens and bathrooms. We once had Corian, long ago, back when it was "new" and came in either white or beige. I loved it. But then we moved. Hubby's rather hard on countertops. Chipped the edge of the quartz by dropping a heavy beer mug that had been in the freezer (hit the counter just "right"). He was glad he didn't break the mug.

        What's Pina up to?

            Lol at the name...I laugh everytime I see 'Pratt' as a last name. My mom knew a girl in London by that name, and she used to say "Pratt by name, pratt by nature". Kids are cruel....

              My dad was once pulled over by a Trooper Looper. He was doing 75! mph on the motorway. Trooper Looper gets to the window of dad's Champion motorhome, and asks, "Do you know why I pulled you over?" Dad says "Because you got C's in high school?"
              Only the first and last line of this post is true, the rest is a Sarah Silverman joke, who know's maybe she stole it too, she's been accused of that you know.

                  Yes, that's our Pina. Since that photo she's decided that maybe it IS possible to have too much eyebrow.
                  And thanks!
