Yes, I Googled..

I've been Googling a lot lately. Lots of medical stuff last week. And water filter research. Pitcher versus faucet attachment. And brand battles.

Then I was thinking about how much I hate our popcorn ceilings and wondered about how difficult it is to remove. After looking around (aka Googling), it is apparently fairly easy to remove (by just saturating with water (or paint!) and scrapping off). But.. since odds are pretty high ours are full of asbestos- a professional would need to be involved (aka $$ or $$$? and not ¢).

I looked into whatever the lining of the walls around the bathtub are called. Because.. oh my goodness. Jason has described our "set-up" as being in some kind of alien decontamination chamber. I was happy to discover it's not really that much. And that it could actually be some kind of reality in the somewhat near future.

Yesterday I searched for giant rolls of cork. In varying thicknesses and price points. Which sort of led me to investigate how difficult it would be to install a chair rail (although I had already been thinking about that.. and crown molding).

And in the middle of that words that begin with k, because Monday started K week at Lily's school and I had forgotten about it.

This morning I Googled to make sure trash pick up was delayed a day due to the holiday (it was), to see if the post office was open (it wasn't), and The Sims to see there was a kid version (there isn't).

I tried out Google's image search (yes, I watch Catfish) and I'm pretty sure no one is trying to pass off my 3 year old Facebook picture/icon as their own. And then..

..then I Googled types of ice melt (at Jason's request). And magnesium chloride and calcium chloride and eco friendly ice melt and ice melt on concrete and oh my effing goodness! I know more about it that I ever wanted to- which was none.

You shouldn't use ice melt chemical on concrete. Or it shouldn't matter if you have properly concreted concrete. Or it really doesn't have anything to do with the chemical per se, but more the frozen/melting/refreezing process.. speed.. whatever. No two websites said the same thing.

Just use sand. Or get some ice cleats. (And ya, I Googled that. Actually what are shoes with picks called and shoes for climbing poles.. which didn't go where I thought it would. Google with caution.)
