I guess being known as the sink lady is better than some of the things that could have stuck over the years! :O) Let's just hope it doesn't turn out to be "The Bad Sink Lady"!<br />The one good thing about WalMart, aside from the cheap prices, is that you never have to be concerned about what you look like when you go there. There's always someone to pull the attention away from you! Didn't brush your hair? No problem! There's bound to be someone there sporting a fuchsia mullet!Jodi Hipplerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17493172804253306940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8423267884035549444.post-85653587935170487892018-02-28T09:46:32.061-08:002018-02-28T09:46:32.061-08:00You do realise you will be known as the sink lady ...You do realise you will be known as the sink lady pretty soon..... but that is a good thing in mini world. I loved your story of Wal Mart crazies. I am English but spent many years wintering in the US and thought my aversion to some WalMarts was due ro the cultural divide.... glad to learn you think it is the home of crazies too. I have never seen so many people in so much unsuitable clothing in one place at the same time. Pyjamas, shorts and flip flops when its cold, coats etc when irs hot, just plain weird and that's before you spot the behaviours. Love the store though for finding a bargain.

Have you tried ...It's looking fantastic, Jodi! <br />Have you tried using vinegar on the pieces that need to be unstuck? Vinegar makes virtually any kind of glue let go of wood.

Now I'm hoping I can only make something good come out of that and get stuff out of my hoard!<br />I always think I need everything when I look at that catalog! Luckily, I am pretty good on the tools at this point so I can just recycle them as they come in. I do love the saw, and I do love my gluing jig, but anything else I have found at Harbor Freight for a much more reasonable price.<br />I hope the quartz experiment comes out good, too!

It would have been funny for you to get the real WalMart experience while you were there!<br />A couple years ago, a lady was driving the wrong way down the parking isle going very fast. She was definitely in a rage over something. I tried pull into some empty spaces to let her by, but she pulled right in front of me, cut me off, flipped me off then sped off into the next isle going the wrong way again. As I was walking into the store, she pulled to a screeching halt in front of the doors, jumped out of her vehicle and then came running after me. Luckily, crazy is a regular occurrence in our WalMart, so there is a security guard right inside the door. I didn't have to say a word. He could see she was possessed and stepped in between her and I. She glared at me, flipped me off and then got back in her car. I did give her a dirty look as she was barreling toward me in the parking lot, and I guess that was enough to send her over the edge. Ultimately, I felt bad for her. What kind of day would drive you to behave like that? <br />That is one of many scary and creepy WalMart experiences, and I really just try to avoid going now, especially by myself!Jodi Hipplerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17493172804253306940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8423267884035549444.post-54129969883275070232018-02-27T13:50:32.792-08:002018-02-27T13:50:32.792-08:00So many sinks!
