Also,

Cuban Cigars seem to be the best.

Because it's NOT like pot or cocaine (which I DON'T do).

But it's kind of taboo, but yet at the same time - harmless.

Shamus,

It's true.

I've been on about 8 cruises, and they are always warning Americans NOT to try to bring Cuban's back to USA.

It goes back to the Cuban Missle Crisis days.

But now a days, it's like, (and I believe) that Terrorism is more important than Cigars...

Simple,

GREAT idea.

I heard it's $1,000 per cigar if you get busted with Castro's Sh!t. But that's a GREAT idea.

My ex-wife lives in Toronto.

Me and SimpleSally have been talking about homes. Disasters and Triumps...

Right now, I'm finishing my libary/chill out room.

It looks REALLY good so far.

Tomorrow I'm having the wet bar installed.

So... I decided that I'm going to buy some Cigars to compliment the decor.

The cigars will mostly be for show.

I'm also go stock the bar with high end liquor (even though I only drink beer and am having a draft tap installed.

Anyway, I know my liquors pretty good and I'm going to stock my bar with cool stuff.

But I know NOTHING about cigars.

It's mostly for show, but what Cigars should I buy.

Basically, I don't want my cigars to be the "wine equivilent" of Boone Hill (if you know what I mean).

Simple,

Most of my mistakes were made EARLY on in my adult life.

Had a "brother" paint my house.

If I remember it right...

I had two places. One was mine and I had a one bedroom condo that I rented out to this "brother."

I gave him a months free rent to paint my townhome and "his" condo.

Ok. MY home was a disaster. He spilled paint all over my carpet and even WALKED over it so you saw a shoe print in paint.

And "his" condo he painted (and I kid you not), white with the colors of the Nigerian Flag going across the upper 1/10th of the ceiling. Something like Green and Red.

Don't ask me why - even though he was a dub.

He was a Nigerian brother and he was like real proud of his heritage.

Anyway, when I saw it, I FREAKED OUT.

The deal was that it was OK, but he HAD to repaint it back to white before he left his lease.

So the disaster continued when he was repainting his home after the lease was up.

He tried to paint it white, but the RED and GREEN would still show through the white paint.

It was one of the most crazy experiences.

And HATE to bash on the dubs, but it seems EVERY single brother I've met takes such great pride in thinking they are a handyman and can do anything from Painting to Carpentry.

NOT to say they aren't people that can, but they hang wallpaper one time at a quick build and suddenly they are a pro at it.

hey guys, .

just wanted to sound out to all those out there that know what i mean.

when i bought my house a year ago, i still had the mortage to my other home.

Confucious

Gypsy.

My first place, I couldn't even affort to paint it and the kitchen "lenolium" floor would PEEL.

UGGG!!! It was awful.

Once I paid a "brother" to paint the upstairs.

He wasn't a professional, but was "starting" his business.

Anyway, he dripped paint all over the carpet.

The place was a MESS!!!

Princess.

For so many years, I lived in a Rag Tag little place.

It was embarrassing to have people over because I was so self conscience about all the little things that I could see.

I've been on my own for about 16 years and a majority of the time I lived in places that had old carpet and the such.

Even my current place, which is my dream home, took about a year before I could do anything about it.

It's just now coming to where I'm satisfied with it.

Here is my tip for what it's worth.

I've ALWAYS had one room that I did exactly like I wanted.

My last home, had one room where I could "chill" and like the dogs weren't allowed in and all that.

AT least it's a start. Even if it's the bathroom!!!!

Also, I just got some SOD in my front lawn and also made a little "oasis" with palm tree's and beach sand.

Very bizarre. Ha!!! But fun.

Else,

More than anything, I'm just amazed at how long it takes.

I'd like to stay here for awhile, but I think HALF the thing is the working on it.

Lowes and Home Depot are my favorite places now-a-days!!!
