I think the more light-hearted the topic, the looser the definition of what might be considered hijacking.

I think all of us enquiring minds would like to know if you are just painting the underside of the table one color or if you are doing some kind of mural...you know...like a mini cistine chapel kind of thing?

David’s Waffles

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons white sugar
4 egg yolks
4 egg whites
1-1/4 cups milk
1/2 cup vegetable oil

1. In a large bowl sift together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Make a well in the center of the bowl.

2. In a separate bowl, mix together the egg yolks, milk, and oil. Pour into well of flour mixture and stir well. Stir just until ingredients are moistened.

3. In a small bowl beat egg whites until stiff. Fold into batter.

This post also has nothing to do with the original thread so the hijacking thread continues to be hijacked.

Hmmmm...that in itself may be a proper response to the original thread.:?::?:

Elizabeth, to tell you the truth, it was just a lie. I was not under the table, and I wasn't painting, just wanted an answer to jdtrotter's second post.

I do, however plan to do a little painting on the small front patio in a while.:yes:

Painting ?


I haven't been doing any painting lately, BUT I have been spending a lot of time this week PATCHING leaks with Henrys 208 found as a result of the deluge. Would THAT qualify as painting or is that a Highjack ? At times, I WAS using a paintbrush as an applicator.

Almost the same as painting....
I plan to touch up some spots on my deck with that waterproof sealer.... if it ever stops raining long enough. With new applications of the smelly stuff, tonight's virtual margarita party is on... sealer never dries unless someone's watching.:rolleyes::dudette:

Opps, I didn't read all the posts---another forum sin--

Paula, does that table really need painting and are you going to paint it sometime soon?

Friday Night Virtual Margarita Hour


This thread must be the right spot for this announcement:
There are some new plans in the making for our virtual gatherings, friends.

I want to make y'all aware that although it will be no under-the-table Sistine chapel kind of thing, virtual partiers will soon begin a mural on the first floor exterior back of my house... under the grand deck and in view of the lesser deck.

Seems the guys who sprayed on four times as much sealer as necessary also did not cover my white stucco house, and so it's now got plips and plobs of redwood stain sealer all over it. Soon as the weather permits, the virtual party people will be supplied with paint and brushes, glue and beach stuff brought from Baja.... and the Sistine Wall will be produced - under the influence of the tequila combo of your choice.

Please be sure to mark your calendars for a non-rainy night and plan to attend. Perhaps someone will paint us a Jesus and I can post it on Sharksy's thread.;D

Nena

Following this, it is only logical that when paint brushes are outlawed, only painters will have brushes. :light:

Now, to expound on the topic: Upon reading this whole string, I have come to the conclusion that you are all at the mercy of that.................uh.............what was the topic? Oh well!:rolleyes:

For instance, say that a person starts a thread about hotels in Baja, then two members start posting back and forth on the thread about something that is interesting only to them such as perhaps what foot fungus medication they used while they were in college together. That to me is hijacking of the worst sort. But what about a thread such as the one about the Jesus statue that just seems to naturally morph from conversation to conversation much like a campfire conversation would? You don't just keep on talking about the same thing until it is completely resolved. Perhaps we could have varying levels of hijacking with corresponding justifications of scorn.

This is great Packo, I can relate!:lol::lol::lol::light:

Now, let me post some photos that (older) Nomads have seen dozens of times before, tell you how close the El Camino Real is to where you are, talk about when I was there as a kid, yadda, yadda, yadda...:o:bounce::lol::lol::lol:
