It's so porous I can't see it being used without a sealer, and I would have assumed that any sealer would change the colour and feel of it enough to make it less attractive.<BR/><BR/>And wait... if your electric dishwasher isn't installed yet, doesn't that make you the manual dishwasher? Would Roomie really be all that upset to find the manual dishwasher stripped and all over the place? I'm sure you can even work your hand lotion into your fantasy there somehow. Just send the kids over to Harmzie's first...<BR/><BR/>And regarding Nortel severance packages, the "joke" for years has been that those who have evaded 16 rounds of layoffs (70,000 people let go!) would be there at the end when there is nothing left for severance packages. And that day has come --- those recently laid off who have not yet received their payout now get zilch. Those laid off while the company is in Chapter 11 not only get zero severance, they get zero notice --- the day you get tapped on the shoulder is your last paid day. So count yourself double lucky for your severance...<BR/><BR/>I'm not going to pretend that I think that the remaining employees are the best and brightest of everyone that ever worked there, because there was obviously some luck involved, being on the right projects in the right locations, not on anyone's list of enemies, etc. But you'd think that over 16 rounds and 8 years, the rank and file employees still left would be, you know, the kind of people that deserve something other than the worst possible financial punishment and the most harrowing torture of not knowing whether each day is your last. Which just goes to show, you sometimes get what you don't deserve.Albert Bannatynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01679417690640475683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5554671041186726858.post-18203962443089682972009-01-15T19:15:00.000-06:002009-01-15T19:15:00.000-06:00@harmzie:I can't tell you how many times I've want...@harmzie:<BR/>I can't tell you how many times I've wanted to say BAKLAVA!

Often I find new posts on my "regulars" by going to check on my own. <BR/><BR/>Such was the case this morning with this post, where I read it without really noticing the title. I am quite relieved because I can't imagine what I would be thinking if I read the title "luckily I have great hand lotion" after an intensive discussion about rectum cloths.<BR/><BR/>:-)harmziehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05718439326736163120noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5554671041186726858.post-26340666119883152722009-01-15T12:32:00.000-06:002009-01-15T12:32:00.000-06:00I think I want to hear about whether the old dishw...I think I want to hear about whether the old dishwasher is still there tomorrow, and I mean *before* the garbage trucks come!<BR/><BR/>I was thinking of doing a post on the freaky garbage-nipping neighbourhood we live in, but probably won't (smacks of effort). I'd still like to hear if yours makes it to garbage day!<BR/><BR/>(your boys look more like burglars than wrestlers. But warm burglars!
