melkathi Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 Not liking the idea of laminate on the stairs. Laminate can be slippery, a quality you do not want on stairs. Tiles on the stairs will be a bit more expensive, but potentially safer. Yeah I thought about that too. Change of plans anyway. Still going with ceramic tile downstairs but the stairs and bedroom are getting carpet. I found a place that will do the whole house both carpet and tile for $4.50 per square foot. I figure that is only $900 over my original budget for the floor and all I have to do is give them the keys. Avoiding the back soreness alone is probably worth the $900. Sounds like a plan. Don't know prices over there, so can't comment on them - it would be too much for the going rate here in Greece. And you sound like someone who knows to keep an eye on them and check that the carpet on the stairs is securely fastened and won't come off when someone runs down stairs Unobtrusively informing you about my new ebook (which you should feel free to read and shower with praise).

Azdeus Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 Hah, Anita Sarkeesian is still a thing? Saw an interview in a swedish newspaper she did, could'nt be arsed to read it to the end though. that's about what I've done so far today, waiting for work to start, way too tired to play anything. Civilization, in fact, grows more and more maudlin and hysterical; especially under democracy it tends to degenerate into a mere combat of crazes; the whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, most of them imaginary. - H.L.

Hurlshort Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 Just got back from Vegas. Our last day was crazy. We started out with a morning at the spa, very relaxing. Then we went to lunch with some friends that we've made in the area. The husband is a brewer, so he decided we should go around to a few different breweries for the afternoon. We started in Henderson at a place called Lovelady that was fantastic, then we hit up Tenaya Creek a bit closer to the strip. We ate dinner at a Thai place in Chinatown, then went back to the hotel and passed out from all the food and drink. It was a fun adventure and nice to get away from the usual tourist areas. I was hurting a bit in the morning, but nothing I couldn't shake off with a good morning run on the strip. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gromnir Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 (edited) when we imagine spencer, we always think o' the one o' those comically english officers from ww2 movies. the guys with the pencil thin mustache. pale to the point o' looking sickly. perhaps a bit mousy but impeccably dressed. will be the one officer trying to advise against ________ and he ends up being right in spite of the fact everybody ignored him. spencer coggins digglesworth... or somesuch. always spencer though. we can actual think o' more than a handful o' spencers beyond tracy. is a few american football players (living and dead) who is spencers, and we were an acquaintance o' a norcal fed judge by name on spencer.

Socialism is the state owning the means of production; what this entail can be anything in the private sector from agriculture to recreation. It is state owned and the state reaps the benefits. If you actually believe that in Socialism the state is a collective of the people or that they have the best interests of the people in mind you're sorely mistaken.
