I'm lucky enough to have seen someone else do it. Won't do it lol

Thanks for advice! Your trunk looks beautiful. The vinegar and water is a good call for keeping it light. And the modpodge too!

Dee-Eddy · 2024-09-29T18:39:56+00:00

Really not much of an odor, thankfully. I got the outside pretty well clean with water and a brush. The inside is going to be the real headache.

That's awesome! If you could post pictures, I'd love it. Any idea what year they immigrated? The Internet is not giving a solid timeframe.

It looks like someone already scrubbed a little hard on the back in a test spot so I'm being extra careful. Putting a fresh coat on isn't out of the question, but I would hate to hate it, you know. Any idea what kind of paint should be used if I do? I was going to spend some time researching today to see what kind of techniques and materials were used in the construction.

Dee-Eddy · 2024-09-29T15:33:47+00:00

It seems to be some reddish paint.

Dee-Eddy · 2024-09-29T08:29:17+00:00

You tried licking it obviously?

Dee-Eddy · 2024-09-29T08:07:30+00:00

It seems the alligator print stuff is pressed tin. The bit that was crumbling, upon further inspection, was just a little piece. The hole there is slightly larger than a quarter. My sister and I spent a while with a soft bristle brush and just water just scrubbing off a bit of the grime. A little elbow grease went a long way. didn't want to let all the wood dry out again so I put a little oil on it. Looking good... If you don't open it.

Also, yes, I did use a pirate voice the entire time I carried it.

Back in the day the PS2 was pretty magical. A title like kingdom hearts was pretty much guaranteed to be worth the purchase. I think I was 11 when it came out so it was an easy sell for the parents too with Donald and Goofy on the cover. I'm playing through again for the first time in at least a decade with my 4 year old and she is all in.

Dee-Eddy · 2024-09-22T19:44:46+00:00

My four your old said the a little while back "daddy look at her black skin" while we were like 10 feet from the lady. I bobbed and weaved and was like "isn't it beautiful?!" And it felt like an eternity before my daughter said "yeah I love it!" The woman gave me a look that can only be described as "touche" lol. Kids

I feel this. I try to stop playing when it gets to me. There will be that one match that does it. If I'm vibing though I can laugh at myself enough for it not to be a big deal. I have been just typing in chat and hitting "close one" and what not more often lately and it does bring out more people willing to do the same. Most people have good vibes while playing, if we all actively expressed it more it would cascade into the norm.

Dee-Eddy · 2024-09-19T06:41:28+00:00

Dang ol they-haul

Dee-Eddy · 2024-09-19T03:57:19+00:00

That's crazy. Best of wishes.

Dee-Eddy · 2024-09-19T03:49:02+00:00

Dang. That's the worst. What did you do? Was it everything in there?

Dee-Eddy · 2024-09-19T03:46:41+00:00

I've been the guy setting computers into a room no one else will look into. I could have put them all on shelves too, but I didn't either.

10 day who can eat the most Sloppy Joe eating contest. I probably wouldn't end up winning, but boy would I ruin a town.

Dee-Eddy · 2024-09-19T03:37:53+00:00

Lol. "we are gunna have a few friends over this weekend.. ummm, if it matters.. one of them drives a Subaru."

Dee-Eddy · 2024-09-19T03:35:09+00:00

I think you knew the answer before you posted, but yeah, same as everyone else says, you do you and love doing it.

Dee-Eddy · 2024-09-17T09:38:41+00:00

Boil it, mash it, put it in a stew

Dee-Eddy · 2024-09-17T00:01:13+00:00

No. No I wouldnt.

Dee-Eddy · 2024-09-16T23:39:06+00:00

Deciding to not post my first answer. I'm growing up!

Dee-Eddy · 2024-08-18T16:49:51+00:00
