(no, not literally) When I read your blog I laugh out loud, I don't know if it is this blog or one for Marian's dining room, but, I think like you do, 'anything to hold over their head', so funny.<br />I have like 20 projects (no kidding) and I can't (won't) get off of my a%$ and get them done. My problem is I get all of my materials - paint, fabric, furniture, etc. but, and this is the honest to me truth, I don't want to start anything, because if I don't finish it, my BFF (husband), will nag, now aren't we supposed to be the ones who nag?!?!? he will nicely nag me cause he doesn't like to pi$% me off. We just moved here to a newer bigger house in April, and I need to figure out everything. ok you are probably tired of reading me bit#h. Have a good day. ps I like chalk paint better than milk paint, how about you?

I have seen these on many chairs, didn't know they were a bad thing. I am working on a pair of chairs from the 60's, two were missing and I replaced them. Maybe I should cut them level and sand. Since they were junkers from an estate sale I probably won't though.
