Wow. So you are recommending to me a course for dummies? How very dismissive of you, poor Thing. What I meant was more along the lines of: Well, as your Shrink must have often said to you, Poor Thing... "If you don't want to talk about it" "Why don't you want to talk about it?" "Does talking about it make you feel anxious?" Was this how it went for you, in analysis?

My apologies! You wouldn't have said that, I imagine. My reply was directed at the person that said it, and not you, of course. I will be more careful in the future.

Three examples, please. Or, is this just another blanket generalization you are making? What is it, using three examples, that Freud had to say about money that is so enlightening? I'm sincerely curious to know.

The pursuit of happiness is a total waste of time and resources.

Does anyone here believe that...Our Boy Bob even knows.... The meaning of the word "rich"? Not just financially... But in so many other important ways, as well. To Our Boy Bob, his idea of being financially rich might be enough loose change in his pocket just to make his jeans bulge a bit. What is Our Boy Bob's idea of wealth, for that matter? One million USD? Ten million USD? 100 million USD? Property around the globe? C'mon Bob! Spill the beans. What is your idea of being wealthy? I think we might be surprised because, when somebody talks so much about being rich, as does Our Boy Bob, it's not really REAL wealth that they know anything about. Do tell, Bob. Do you actually KNOW anything about being wealthy?

Somehow, I suspect that no amount of money could ever make YOU happy.

I LOVED Bostonians! But ONLY as they USED to be.. Before they hired Chinese cobblers... SEEEEE? LOWEST COMMON DENOMINATOR... This is The STORY OF AMERICA, now... Cargo Pants Cargo Shorts.. Everywhere you LOOK!!! I want NO PART OF IT!!!!

I would never dunk my donut in any American-Franchise Clip Joint as Americans do everyday, these days. I left America over 40 years ago. Even Hong Kong was better, and in a MILLION WAYS. Take a look at THESE curtains, for example: I have always seen curtains as a metaphor for the bosom, and the bosom, too, especially Julie's, as a metaphor for my "curtain dreams". ...and, my dreams of living in the Dream of the Red Chamber...

Do you know a MAMA-SAN? Have you ever been to a French/Italian brothel? If so, I want to know where to obtain curtains fit for an Italian bordello, and available in Thailand. Most of the curtains & drapes you might see in poor Asian countries are chintzy. And Japan is often the exception to the rule. I don't like chintzy chintz. There is really no good posting this query in the DIY Forum; Probably most of those woodworkers have never even heard of a Sporting House. What was it, last time you were in one of those cathouses, that you liked most about the curtains?... They were soundproof, right? Soft. Luxurious. Rich. Flowing. Dr. Zhivago! Brothers K.! RUSSIAN & ARISTOCRATIC Looking!!! So many other adjectives. I like RICH and RUSSIAN. Have you ever been to the RUSSIAN TEA ROOM in NYC? Looking around at the furnishings in Thai homes, and looking at their thin flimsy curtains, you might even think that nobody here had ever been to a high-class bawdy house. Really bugs me that I can’t seem to feel at home in this kind of environment. I like my curtains RICH, FULL and FLOWING! What about high-class hotels, places which are sometimes the same thing as a bawdy house? Any guys here own one? WHERE DO YOU Buy your curtains, anyway? I’m talking curtains so thick you could bury your snout in the folds of them. I’m NOT talking about some cheap DIVE here; I’m talking ITALY and FRANCE! I’m talking….the bosom of Julie Christie in Dr. Zhivago! So please help me. Where can I find what I am looking for in Chiang Mai. Need to buy.... Soon. Thank you, and, As Usual, Gamma Please Note: I REALLY Like the décor of the Russian Aristocrats, and most old Russian rooms, in general...

Judging by the quality of her white coat, she is probably in China. But I tend to agree. I like to think of her as a bioengineer. I just hope she is not THE bio-researcher we once heard so much about a couple of years ago... No. She looks OK.

Lazada is not a problem if one knows what one is looking for, and knows the supplier.

AMAZING info, and LOCALIZED info. Thank you very much. And cheap (low cost), too, it seems!

Everybody seems to want to join MENSA. And NOBODY seems to want to stay.

Nobody is normal enough for GG, I guess. He has searched high and low, already.

Absolutely NO DOUBT in my pea brain, it was. Some geniuses lack the spark, the sauce, whatever.

I would definitely choose that for a coffee table, something with high gloss needed. However, since these are computer tables and tables for several ovens, etc., then this might be overkill. Looks great, but lot's of work. Thanks!

I agree. I love farm girls. And, there are plenty of genius farm girls around, too. No doubt of it...

I think you may not be in Thailand. Reason: I have often tried to access Home Depot, which is a store I often used in Florida. However, from Thailand, I always get the same "access denied" when I try to click on a Home Depot link: I definitely would like to be able to access Home Depot because there is much useful info to be had. Maybe I will get a VPN someday...

E+ for effort, if even that. But, thank you, anyway...

So, you do not like the artists who design and produce her videos, either?

Third layer? Well, OK, then. I might even hire one of the workers to do it. I just needed to know what to use.

Thanks for advice about the thinning of the first coat. Two coats to start with. Then, later, maybe add a third when needed...in the future.

That's an interesting suggestion, for sure. If this were a high-cost project, then I would do it. Please keep in mind that these doors are to be used as table surfaces, and not used as the typical door. Also, these rubberwood doors, the way they are fabricated, they are extremely strong, and extremely heavy. The weight of these doors is an advantage because the weight minimizes vibration, something to be avoided in a computer table with several computers on top. (Speaking of humidity and warped doors, you are correct, and during the raining season that is a problem here, as well.)

Thank you. However, to clarify, I am trying to just make this as simple and quick as possible. The doors themselves are fairly well prepared for application of some material, as is, or as they are sold. Also, these are not to be used as fine furniture, but only as desk spaces where keyboards, PCs, printers, speakers, etc. will be placed and moved around. The only crucial aspect is that the wood needs to be protected from both oil, such as food oil, and from hot water, as from dripping hot water from tea kettles, and from standing water, as in from condensation of iced tea glasses which might sit on the surfaces for 24 hours, maybe. No high-gloss finish is required. Protection of the wood surface is enough. However, what kind of "stuff" should be used. What is best/available in CM? Obviously it will be a synthetic coating painted on. What "stuff" would be most resilient to oil/water/perhaps soap, and dishwashing detergent, but no harsh cleansers. No primer is to be used. Just one kind of "stuff", painted on with enough applications to do what is called for. Thank you. Note: I was at the same supplier a couple of years ago. That supplier has MANY different kinds of clear coatings, or other stuff, to choose from, and the guys at the store just said that ALL are possible. All are OK... Maybe so, but which might be best...in case anyone else has already done the same work many times in the past...
