Country:  | Awwwwh... I wanted to correct a minor "flaw" in my old P-51's paint and I realized that the Tamiya gloss spray lacquer that I used to "seal" the decals didn't work too well... When I took the masking tape off, I ripped the decals from the plane. Like I didn't want to re-do all the paint job, I had to order new decals from Squadron.com.
Good thing that was the first (and last) time that I used Tamiya's lacquer. Before that, I always used Testor's flat spray lacquer... I will only use Testor's lacquers from now on.
(I know, it wasn't very smart from me to put masking tape on the decals in the first place, but hey, I thought that frigging lacquer would hold on !)
Oh, here is the decal set I ordered... | |

Country:  | Central heating broke down in my house, while outside it's around 0°C 
I'll have to buy a new boiler quick, which isn't cheap.

Country: | A boiler! Holy cow, Marcel. What type fuel do you use for your "boiler"? Oil like here in the States?

Country: | Forced Air Gas you mean Pb? Sounds like your furnace is on its last leg. My last furnace lasted almost 20 years. Replaced the igniter once and the burners once. Now have dual fuel gas furnace and a heat pump.

It's not exactly a boiler, it's heating device we call a "Ketel". It runs on methane.

Country: | I had to peer-edit someones paper, and it was a blatant "bash-Bush-because-everyone-else-is-doing-it" topic. Now, I can understand being reasonable about not liking the current leadership, but this person had reasons like "he looks dumb..."............. | |

Country: | Sympathies to both of you guys, Pb and Heinz.
Work is turning interesting. last week my supervisor was promoted which left his spot open - a spot I've been paid out-of-title for about 8 years when he's not around. So what happens? They haul me in for a review of my work habits - others been complaining. What about? I didn't turn a phone around so others could use it and someone got injured on my command after I had told them not to do what they did. Methinks someone has it out for me.

Country: | Woke up screaming and most of the day went downhill from there.
I found out I had a almost 5mm stone working it's way down. I'm not a stranger to stones but nothing has ever come close to this one. The yelling and thumping and crashing caused the people across the hall to call to FD and I got a ambo ride into the hospital and ralphed my guts out all the way there. The Paramedics were good about it (See Cheered tread) and I got there and shot up with pain killers and then the day went okay. Got lots of happy pills to take for now.
