I remember when my parents bought our house in Connecticut. We had rooms with layer upon layer of wallpaper, and paint on top of that.

We had to rent a steamer and it was a mess that took a LOT of elbow grease to remedy.

Fortunately we only had one room like that. We used a solution that we/I sponged on to soften the paper before peeling.

DR Rodzinski, I have removed wall paper twice. The first time was in our bedroom of our newly purchased home. The paper was so bad it basically peeled off.

The paper peeled off nicely, but the adhesive beneath has been more of a pain.

Right, that needed another layer of sopping with the sponge.

Keith put the new wallpaper up and it looked like a boys room.

The police didn't want to harm him - you know, when someone has already shot two officers I don't think that should be a concern.

I doubt that was really their concern.

I rarely escape unscathed when I sing "Wives and Lovers" to my wife.

I rarely escape unscathed when I sing anything.

I didn't read the article, but I think it meant ONE of the twelve.

Googling the subject I found multiple lists of books that can be read. The books tend to be short so how many you read would depend on how fast a reader you are, or if you watch the commercials. I do believe the expectation is one book read during the Superbowl.

I found one article titled THE BOOK-LOVER’S GUIDE TO COVERTLY READING DURING A SUPER BOWL PARTY

I always wondered about this Hal David lyric:
And just because you think you’re slow
It doesn’t mean you’re slow, you know
And even if you’re never first
Compared to someone whose last
They’re sure to think you are fast

One year I hosted a Superbowl party at my brother's house (so Craig could watch the game). I was the only one who stayed in the kitchen the entire time visiting with anyone who wanted food

I expected Keith to keep me company but he watched the game.

I hope DR CHAS SMITH finds his way home from the outback.

DR Iris · « **Reply #172 on:** February 10, 2023, 02:50:00 PM »

Thank you for all of your concern regarding the active shooter.

DR Iris · « **Reply #173 on:** February 10, 2023, 02:50:42 PM »

He led police on a 39 hour manhunt.

He shot the first police officer on Wednesday night.

DR Iris · « **Reply #174 on:** February 10, 2023, 02:52:46 PM »

He shot the second police officer last night and stole his police cruiser.
That officer is currently on life support.

He then hid in a wooded area for hours with his 2 rifles, while officers negotiated with him.

DR Iris · « **Reply #175 on:** February 10, 2023, 02:53:19 PM »

Here’s the thing.

I was reluctant to bring up this subject, but…

DR Iris · « **Reply #176 on:** February 10, 2023, 02:54:59 PM »

Baltimore has a terrible problem with racism.

Unarmed Black men are frequently pulled over while driving and shot by police officers for no reason.
This happens every single day.

DR Iris · « **Reply #177 on:** February 10, 2023, 02:56:18 PM »

They didn’t shoot this suspect because he was white.

Had he been Black, he would have been shot and killed immediately after he shot the first officer.

DR Iris · « **Reply #178 on:** February 10, 2023, 02:57:19 PM »

I just wanted to clarify the situation, and hope that this harsh dose of reality doesn’t offend anyone here at HHW.

DR Iris · « **Reply #179 on:** February 10, 2023, 03:00:04 PM »

When they apprehended him at dawn today, he was treated very well and was unharmed.

That’s why I said the situation was outrageous last night.

Tricky subject, and I try to be careful when I bring it up.
