How to flunk American English, and also work at Fox News:

Mr, Casiano wrote: "Authorities said Georgopoulos moved a bicycle rack that had posted warnings that the area was restricted just after midnight."

 I never knew a bicycle rack could post a warning, nevermind be so specific about posting that it was "restricted" after midnight, but given this is Washington, anything could happen.

 Given President Trump has been able to describe a wall that doesn't exist (ten feet, folks!) which Fox News so fabulously reiterated, at Fox News who cares if things are impossible, so long as people are buying what they write.

Medical Bills...

I fell down some stairs in March of 2012, and went to the ER at Central Maine Medical Center, a few days later, as my left wrist was very very painful. What I want to write about are the bills I received, both from Central Maine Medical Center, and from the company that supplied the soft hand splints to Central Maine Medical Center--Surgi-Care Inc. Surgi-Care Inc. sent me a bill for  a "comfortform wrist-lt, xs" for $66.19. I discovered I could have bought the exact same product for $25.00 online, and, since I'd paid for wrist supports for both wrists about 6 months earlier for the total price of $42.00, at CVS, the half price of $25.00 seems about more accurate. So, I called Surgi-Care Inc, at their number: 1-888-290-8905. The representative I spoke to indicated that for Surgi-Care to provide hospitals their products, they can't get paid until their products are delivered to patients, and therefore they aren't paid up-front for their products, and they "

A Paper Bag Floor Over Asbestos Linoleum

Image
My new "paper bag" kitchen floor, with a tutorial following. Oil-based stain reddish; tempera paint stain brownish.   Old rug on left, new linoleum on right. My father's 1910 house has old asbestos linoleum tiles in the downstairs apartment kitchen. During the years he rented out the apartment to students, he put down rug in half the kitchen to cover those tiles, and then newer non-asbestos linoleum tiles in the other half (where the stove and sink were). When I moved in six years ago to rehab the apartment (since it had been trashed), I pulled up the nasty rug and threw a coir rug over that area and waited for money to have the entire area retiled. I trolled the craigslist "free" list and scoured the local dump for someone's excess tiles, but nothing showed up.   One day, I came across a blog about paper bag floors. I began reading every post I could find by those who had done a paper bag floor, whether over wood, linoleum, or cem
