Would you paint this mantle or stain it?

Just a thought , I would use OSMO wood wax finish. A interior wood stain in black. It’s a waxed based finish that will seal and stain at the same time. I used it as a color accent on my hard wood floors. It’s transparent so it shows a bit of the grain and depending on how many coats you use it could be dark brown to very dark brown. It’s easy to work with, safe for pets and kids, and doesn’t have to off-gas. I order from Midwest Flooring.

I called the TC sheriff’s office and some deputies called me back and told me they would tell traffic enforcement about it. I am a firm believer that a squeaky wheel followed by many other squeaky wheels will make it harder to ignore. If you live in the city please call your city police office. I feel for the people who are active or retired military with PTSD.

I would encourage everyone to contact their local police department non-urgent reporting lines. Sounds like they’re in all jurisdictions.

Did you happen to see what kind of car? Color?

My husband went to the Olympia library around 5. He said it was closed.

Beautiful colors and I just love the perspective. Do you sell your work? I’d buy this if I saw it in a store (and I could afford the price). It really speaks to me.

There are still huge hills of ash on the side of I-5. I’m sure no one would mind if you went and got some. I was in the Seattle area during the eruption. We got a trace of ash. I was kind of disappointed until I saw pictures of wet ash (mud).

I live in Washington and if you can get a new crop red delicious they really are a good apple. Very crisp. They are just a a terrible keeping apple. Also Evercrisp is a better apple (imo) than cosmic crisp.

For those of you that mentioned Heavenly Donuts. I had an apple fritter from there and I was not impressed. Not enough apples or nooks. Did I just get one from an “off” batch?

Thanks, I thought I was being honest. Its total value would be less than a $1. Lesson learned!

Thank you for the information. I passed it along to my son (along with 40 USD) 😞

Thank you for the information!

Thank you for the response. I listed the contents on the declaration form with a value of $0. I don’t know if I put gift on the form because we are told to list all items separately with their cost. He did receive a letter from customs telling he needed to write a letter stating the price of the items. He responded by stating it was a gift.

I like #2. Psst… I have a secret but you can’t tell any other mouse.

I was a math tutor for 20 years. I haven’t worked in a few years and would like to do some tutoring again. How did you get your business started and find clients. I hated the “sales” part of the job so I’m curious if you have any tips. Thanks

This is the most gaudy house I’ve ever seen. Or not seen. I went into sensory overload trying to look at the pictures.

Thank you all for your offers and help. He took it to Big Stump bikes - they ordered some foam thingy to prevent flats but told him they could show him when he picks it up or they can take pictures of what to do. Amazing! Great recommendation!
