No, I Can't Do It
Screw you HD and your slogan. The only way I can do it and the only way you can help is to come to my house and do it for me. Explaining to me just how easy it is will not make the task simple.
I have a spot on my ceiling. I have been to HD three times now. First, for the spray can of Kilz to cover the spot. That made it worse. Next, for the small can of white paint. That didn't match. Yesterday it was for another spray can of some sort of evil pressurized texture paint that was made specifically for touching up popcorn ceilings.
I tried it. I shook and shook that freaking can till my hand was sore. Made sure I covered all exposed furniture. I put on a mask. Then I fired away. The stuff flew out of the can like projectile baby vomit flies out of a sick kid. On me, on the tarp, on parts of the floor I did not cover. Now it looks like I have a patch of Quaker Oats on my ceiling.
I don't care if this makes me a bad lesbian. I'm leaving this to the professionals who know I can't do it and don't care to show me.

Hey Rubye Jean - Unfortunately I created this mess. I could kick myself.
Thanks Dykewife. Glad to hear their are others like me.
I got water on the bathroom floor above OC and it dripped down. I'm a big dummy.
Hahn, you sound like you know what you are doing. When can you come over?
Don't be too impressed Kitty. I've made it much worse everytime I try to fix it.
Thank you Lynt. I was hoping that was the case.
That makes me feel a little better Sassy knowing that these suckers are not easy to repair and it's just not me.
That's saying something Cristina. Now I know you wouldn't touch it.
Thanks Shrinky. I guess I have to be content with an "A" for effort.
Thanks you for making feel better John. If your honey bunny couldn't do it and he's handy, then maybe I'm not that bad.
Love that idea McMeaty!
Yes, Weese, I certainly do have my limits when it comes to home repair.
Both wonderful ideas Chewy! LOL at your money making idea. Maybe I should used my leftover kettle corn from the Big E.
That actually sounds good Ms. Creek. I'm hungry.
Hey Martha, I didn't look at it like that. Maybe I just need to work on it a bit.
It's all smoke and mirrors over at HD Rita. Last time I was there they were holding a workshop on how to install a toilet. Yes, I'm sure that's real easy.
No food fights Blondie!
Is it fixed yet?
