A reply to the "violation" might further press the mandate so to avoid a possible beating. (it might actually be welcome depending on who will be dealing it) I figure telling you here directly what spilled over from the threads previous HK.

I might just be curious about you. Seems you have been an enigma to at least me since you started posting with the Imponderables. I have a terrible memory and wonder about the people I trust with information near to the heart of me. Not that I don't trust you. I just feel I know you less than most everyone here.

And no this ain't some gorram mind game. Neither do I posess the intelligence nor the will to persue such things. I much prefer truth to bullshit.

That and, well, I'm actually quite simple minded. (Go figure)

See? Another reason I just have to get a picture with you (assuming I can catch you) at DC.

Technically wouldn't you be able to count to 1023 (if you're missing a finger I am going to feel like a complete douchebag) ?

Well, Flyvote...it's funny you asked. I have two elderly chickie babes at home myself. I was going to take a handle of fabric home tonight for

a) Husbands perusal - but his color vote doesn't mean sh*t to a tree..I'm gonna pick out the color. I'm humoring him...
b) To test the fabric and how it reacts to the dog/cat hair. (Easy to clean, resistant, etc)

I will perform my experiment tonight and get back to you!

Thank you, I do very much appreciate your help/tests. I have a large army of cats (which I am allergic to, but that's another story) and hair control is a priority. After the furniture is picked out I will be getting a Roomba to scamper about and do its job "sucking".

Well Flyvote, the results are in...and completely unexpected. The gouffrage didn't do as well as I expected when faced with cat hair. It was a mite difficult to remove with my hand sweeping it...but the fabric "Florence" which feels much more suede like than the gouffrage did well by hand. I would still probably vaccuum it, and I think it will be okay (for me) but an army of cats may be a different story. (This fabric is only available from Natuzzi...but there are many other companies that offer fabrics very similar.

Many thanks, I appreciate your effort to share your results. So "gouffrage" is out. That's good, because I wouldn't feel very straight saying "gouffrage".

"Florence" is in, and it is suede-like. I have only owned cloth couches, not leather. What, other than angering a cow, are the disadvantages of leather? Wouldn't leather be wipe-able? Suede?

Most of my activities (extra curricular) usually revolve aroud the valley so its never a big deal. I'm just wanting to hang out with "She" a little this weekend. Its all good though. Seems I had plenty of drinking to last for a while.

After school programs definately help more than they hurt. On Friday the regular kids don't go so some of us prevention people hold an afterschool group for our older teens who've been under the thumb of Probation/Parole. Sure they're a little rough, but they are also a little more creative and passionate than our "normal" kids. I love to spend time with them.
