Here the wisdom of one who works in a retail hardware department and know it for truth. If you drive by a house and see that they've stained their wooden deck know that the person who lives there is an asshole. I have never had a person ask me about deck stain and be anything less than a complete prick. If you don't know the answer to a question they will take it as a personal insult. If you do know the answer to a question they will explain to you why you are wrong while acting like your being wrong is a personal insult. And making you wonder why they asked anyway if they apparently knew so much more. They will also not believe anything you tell them about how much you have in stock of a stain or the colors you have available. I never have this problem with anyone asking for any other kind of product.

I got to go to Lilies War for two days and it made up for every day I could not go. Such an amazing time was had with my friends The Champagne Players and our performances completely dominated on both nights. And I am not ashamed to say I was a complete glutton. After two days of feasting on stuffed grape leaves, Swedish meatballs, spaghetti, and bacon-covered hot dogs I think I more than gained back all the weight I sweat off. For two days we lived like rock stars. We drank, we fought, we made our ancestors proud. Next year I have to find a way to get out there more. All these last two years of sampling the delicious has only increased my hunger. This food talk doing anything for ya?

Work early in the morning. Yeah. I'm already ready for next year to be here so I can get away from it all.

That's so weird-- DECK STAIN!?

We've bought deck stain before and stained our deck-- years ago. But we didn't ask any questions about it. We just bought it and used it. The End. That is such a strange correlation!

Lilies War!!! WOOOT! I went to Faerieworlds this weekend myself. It was awesome, but then it always is... I miss the Renn faires we went to in Ohio. The ones in Oregon and Washington are so darned far away to drive to. *pout*

Folk are particular about their deck stain. I can't begin to understand.

At least you are getting to go to faires! I'm glad you had a good outing into another world just as I did :)

I did indeed!! It was WONDERFUL! I always feel a bit let down to re-enter reality afterwards though. But its cool-- we'll be going to Faerieworlds HARVEST in September. Now they will do the Wee Folk TWICE a year!!

If I had a wooden deck I would stain it...and I would go to you to buy the stain...but I would not be a dick. I would tell you how awesome you were and thank you for your help because I have no idea what i'm doing and you will sound like a genius to me! lol
