My table is here. :)

Sadly, one of the stupid cats has already claw pricked the top of one the blue leather chair backs. :banghead:
I knew I should have moved it from in front of the window sooner.
Not only will the picture need to be moved, but now you must hire an electrician to center the chandelier over the table.

That's as close to centred as it's ever going to be. That's a hand swirled plaster ceiling with a plaster medallion.

The light is certainly more centred over this table than it was over the previous one.

The picture will be centred tomorrow.

You know it's summer in Texas when your electric bill doubles in a month.
We call it a hydro bill.

And yes, mine has probably doubled as well. We've had a lot of high-80's and low-90's temps this month.

I've got an old energy-hogging KeepRite green box. Those things last forever (just ask my dad, his hands were probably all over this one during the manufacturing process), but at almost 40 years old, it is hardly energy efficient. Hubby is reluctant to get rid of it while it is still working just fine. He says even if a new one saves $100/month (which it won't) for 3 months a year, it would take ten years to recoup the cost of a new one.

It's too dark out to take a pic of our particular unit, but this is a KeepRite green box:

Does yours also shoot flames out the side?

So how did having a talk with your friend go while you were catching a fictional thing on your phone. Phones were originally invented to increase communication... ironically, they are doing the opposite now. Also there are a number of reports starting to come in of serious injuries and other negatives. I'm sorry, I may be old and out of it, however, ever since I reached adulthood I kind of abandoned kid games. It seems like there are so many important things that need attention other then Pokemon. Washing what little hair I have left comes to mind as being more important then Pokemon.:joyfull:

Pokemon is not my thing, either. However, I think your explanation is missing a key component to the Pokeman craze.

For many people (of all ages), it's just light-hearted, escapist fun. Provided people aren't on their phones 24 hours a day doing it, (and also not doing it in potentially dangerous situations--such as not looking out for traffic while crossing a busy intersection, etc.), I don't see a problem with it.

We're living in an incredibly messed up, violent world these days, and I think we all need a reprieve to balance out what little sanity we have left in our lives. Pokemon may not be for you or me for our mental health break, but I'm glad that others enjoy it (within reason).

Well, I guess you COULD center the table under the chandelier...but then you would have to move the picture AGAIN.

I'm finding it hard to believe that you can live with that asymmetry.

I don't wear my glasses in the house. I can't see squat. Also the angle of that pic makes it look more asymmetrical than it really is.

When we added the breakfast bar years ago, it pushed the table about two feet south.

It only bothers me during Big Brother and Survivor, when I need to don my specs. :cool:
