Kitchen musings..... shelving vs. cabinets, notions of design....

Same thing goes for the shop. I used to have tools and such hanging on pegboard. Now, I hung the cheapest HD cabinets over a 16' workbench/RAS saw and have much more storage with much less dust.

You have a shop. Build your cupboards. Look around. There will be someone in the area making custom doors. The boxes are easy.

Temper, temper. Maybe a nap would help

How arrogant.

About the only person here who needs a treatise on the elements of style is you. Oh, wait...are your cutesy spellings an attempt at a distinctive writing style? An attempt to separate yourself from the herd? To lift yourself from the depths of mediocrity? Doesn't work.

After fighting with various commercially available compounds, my wife discovered that the best cleaner for stainless steel of almost all types was ...Dial sanitizing liquid hand soap. Rubbed on and wiped dry actually polished to a sparkling beautiful finish. But alas someone changed the product and it doesn't work well now.

She gave up cleaning any glass surface. Windex streaked and streaked and streaked. However, I found Walmart brand of glass cleaner provides a great sprayer at $1.88 and the product cleans well and doesn't streak. Unless dries before removal. And of course, use cheap paper towels, else there are usually some type of lotion or such in them that streaks too. To check if a paper towel has 'additives' in it? Simply pour bleach on it. If it gets warm, or hot enough to burn you, it has additives that will streak when you clean.

After fighting SS cleaners, my wife has delegated me to be the custodian of all the glass and stainless steel cleaning in our home. I finally found the BEST cleaner ever! Clean well then ONLY clean with distilled water and cheap paper towels. Squeegee the bathroom mirrors in 20 seconds DONE! Inside/outside windows? Take about a minute each. I tell you distilled water is a MIRACLE product. Alas, it 'almost' works on SS kitchen apliances. Front surfaces stay cleaned for about a month. But, the fridge doors are a constant battle. We don't touch the SS with hands to prevent human oil blotting their surfaces, but even that doesn't work well. Have to clean that !@#@$#%^@$ !!!! fridge almost everyday. Shouldn't say clean, mean polish.

The manufacturers have solved the countertop problem with granite - robust and hides crumbs. But, they really need to work on finding a surface for appliances. Probably find some aerospace material works, like carbon composite with laminated granite?

Hmmmm...... might I be even more arrogant and correck your syntax? Elements of Style WAS the treatise -- albeit a short, succinct one.

What you SHOULD have said -- and I'm sure you meant to -- was: "About the only person here who needs a treatise on style......."

Dood...... it's fukn USENET..... give it a break, already. Dayum.... and I thought you were one of the normal ones.....

And where's the gratitude?? Moi had to PAY for that goddamm StrunknWhite.... and ahm giving it away for free....

Ackshooly, I never really agreed with ole Strunk.... yeah, s*it has to be standardized, but goddamm, there's standardization and there's stifling. F*ck granite, and f*ck stifling.

ANOTHER POP QUIZ, boyzngerlz.....

WHO was the White in Strunk'n'White??

No matter, y'all are going to cheat anyway, and look it up..... He was EB White, who wrote Charlotte's Web, Stuart Little, and a bunch of other children's classics, and a longtime contributor/editor in The N'Yawker.

But y'all litirits KNEW that, right?? Yeah, riiiiight.....

Here's what ahm thinkin:

All those who had so much trouble deciphering the op, get copies of Stuart Little and Charlotte's Web, and work on yer comprehension...... EB White knew what he was doing, and y'all's reading comprehension should jump by at least two grades when you finish them. Proly you can find Cliff's Notes on them, as well, iffin you need help.

And WHERE did the adventures of Stuart Little take place?? Why, in the Central Park Pond, in.... N'Yawk....

OH, OH, OH, OH, OH..... He did it AGAIN!!!! He said "N'Yawk" instead of New York........ TWICE!!! OH, OH, OH, OH OH, OH, OH, OH OH, OH, OH, OH OH, OH, OH, OH

Your affected style might be cute if you had any real talent.

Holy s*it..... ANOTHER one who I thought was normal, could read between the lines..... Ahma haveta make a LIST now.....

I didn't know reading comprehension was such an issue. Really, I promise, I'll keep it simple from now on, right outta Strunk'n'White.....

The Chinese have solved the problem for appliances...plastic, engineered to not last long enough to get dirty. Last time I went shopping, I tried to find something NOT made in China...all I could come up with was a picture frame made in Mexico.

What about Fucken Wagnalls? I think we'd better quit before the the entire usenit goes postle!!

The teacher of my very bright and ambitious high school English class cautioned us not to write like e.e.cummings unless we WERE e.e.cummings. She reminded us that Picasso had mastered the classical painting style before developing his own.

The only exception she tolerated:

LOL I've lerntid my lesson..... I"ve got Strunk'n'White out, as I type....... LOL FunkyWagnall was far too long, tho. At least S&W kept alladatshit brief.

There is a breed -- many of them on RW, apparently -- that deludes themselves with the notion that because they express themselves with syntactical and grammatical correckness, that they know how to think. There is, in fact, a likely inverse relationship between the two.

No kidding. I couldn't get through all the cute spellings, the almost urban street slang, and ghetto speak to finish the post. Not sure what this guy wants, but it isn't interesting enough to read through all that crap.

I got this far because I saw that you and Karl responded....

BRAIN EXERCISES

If you can read this OUT LOUD, you have a strong mind. And better than that: Alzheimer's is a long, long, way down the road before it ever gets anywhere near you.

If you can read the following paragraph, forward it to your friends and the person who sent it to you with 'Yes' in the subject line. Only very good minds can read this. This is weird, but interesting!

If you can read this, you are one of the 55 people out of 100 who can.

I cdnuolt blveiee that I cluod aulaclty uesdnatnrd what I was rdanieg. The phaonmneal pweor of the hmuan mnid, aoccdrnig to a rscheearch at Cmabrigde Uinervtisy, it dseno't mtaetr in what oerdr the ltteres in a word are, the olny iproamtnt tihng is that the frsit and last ltteer be in the rghit pclae.

Since fuknNailShooter cain't read *my* simple s*it, Alzheimers is proly right around the corner for dat asshole.

YOU

CAN

READ

THIS

BUT

DO

YOU

WANT

TO

It isn't all that hard to read but why bother? What's the point when one can write it properly? And that is the whole point of those who disliked your original post...you wanted feedback from readers so why not just post your question/problem succinctly using reasonable English?

IOW, it isn't a problem of being unable to read your "simple s*it", it's just a matter of "why bother".

I would have used J.M.W.Turner for the example if he were better known.

Supurb landscapes! I saw an exhibition of his work at the National Gallery of Art in D.C. a couple of years ago. The actual paintings will knock you out.

I used Rob's work because some of it relates to Picasso's early paintings more closely.

It was quite reasonable. What in particular is your grouse?

Heh, yer gonna miss my unreasonable Englich, when they have you speaking Reasonable Spanich.... Been in HD lately?? goodgawd....

Which is usually the bleat of the simple mind, esp. overly-entitled *gangs* of simple minds.

Exactly what was so troublesome about the op? What part of "gratuitous complexity" don't y'all understand?

You're either lying, illiterate, or lazy (didn't look for more than 10 minutes). I'm betting on all three.
