Awwwww!!! My folks had a Beagle for a million years. His name was Rusty. He died 3 years ago.. he was the best dog ever! Your picture made me tear up...

It's personal preference for sure. We spent a LOT on our tiles - 18 inchers are a pain in the ass to install and the cost was nearly triple!. Wood is tough to keep up if you have pets and a lot of traffic. The refinishing is a lot of work and unless you are handy - very costly to have done. I had wood in my first apartment and Jim had it in his townhouse. IMO, the tile is so much easier to keep clean, and easier to replace if one cracks.

I guess I just have the mindset that a death - knowing it's coming or not - is always very hard. I'm sure his decision was tough, but the circumstances, IMO, have very little to do with anything. No harm.

But I really, REALLY wanted to use "tall Vegas cabbage"!! Damnit!! Oh... :finger , too

Just when I think I've seen it all around here....

You never read my PM's in a timely manner... But my 2 cents on the thread you just locked is to delete the ignorant s*** and NOT move anything to a new thread to be discussed. No point

I think it's a color thing. Hickory looks nice. Honestly I don't think there's much of a advantage to pine or oak. They are all pretty similarly (sp?) strong woods.

Moving sucks anytime!! We moved in March... of course it snowed like a mo-fo the night we actually closed and the movers were delivering all our new furniture the next day. OMG.. I was rolling out that static plastic on the carpet like a mad woman. Paid off.. no dirt stains, but it was a pain in the arse! We finished the Christmas shopping way early this year. I was done last Wednesday and Jim finished on Friday. We're having Christmas Eve so I had to have everything done.

I got a HUGE Optimus Prime action figure for Christmas one year. It stood nearly 3 feet tall "transformed". I arranged my life around that show... I had Optimus until I was 18 and he got broken when I moved into my first apartment. It was a sad day...

Good on the real wood. Pergo is s***! For the $$ it wears terrible. We tiled the foyer, laundry room, powder room and kitchen downstairs. Berber in the family room and carpet in the dining and living (do not touch) room. Carpet up the stairs and in the bedrooms, but tile in the master bath and shower room of the spare bath. Carpet in the master closet as well. I think the only one left here that's seen the inside of my house is Ian.

Oh SNAP!! The Smurfs!! Man I LOVED that cartoon!! Poor Gargamel (sp?) ....

I think the fact that nothing has been since pretty much confirms that their offer was s***.

You're welcome. We went with tile (albit 18 inchers!!) due to the clean up factor and the need to "re-do" the floors every few years. With the dog and the excessive traffic (we have a lot or parties in the summers) the tile just seemed more logical. Is it real wood or Pergo?

It was true.. just a week late. The Sox did make an offer, on the 9th.

LOL.. Sorry AS. Trying to work here...

Fan.. you can use the Swifter. It will not harm the floors at all. You can use it from day one. Murphy's is great also if you have the time to do it that way.

I know. And people like you guys - and a few others here who don't take advantage - I wouldn't mind buying a drink for. But we will not be getting hosed again this year.

Moreso like bringing your stupidity to light.

I posted what I was told last week - and was called a liar...

That's some stuff he knows....

3rd time I've won this year. And Jim won last week. We're making a run for the YTD $$ now. And we have no problem buying you and Angie a drink.. a round.. I don't think so. We got stuck with the $300 tab last year. We will not make that mistake again this year..

Why in the hell would I be speaking to you..?

Makes a lot of sense to complain after stirring the pot so nicely....

Oh goodie. It's over...
