Archive for the 'cheap wood blinds' Category

I am redecorating the bedrooms in my home but I need help with what to do with the windows. My home is 60 years old and the windows are built in such a way that I can’t install blinds unless I screw them into the face of the wood trim (which I DON’T want to do if I can help it). However, our windows face either the neighbor next door or the street out front so privacy is of utmost importance but I don’t want to hang drapes that would cover the gorgeous wood trim. Any suggestions? As of right now, we have those cheap vinyl roll-up blinds screwed into the walls but that is NOT pretty. =(

Blues 101

If you are new to Blues music, or like it but never really understood the whys and wherefores, here are some very fundamental rules:

1. Most Blues begin with: "Woke up this morning…."

2. "I got a good woman" is a bad way to begin the Blues, unless you stick
something nasty in the next line like, "I got a good woman, with the
meanest face in town."

3. The Blues are simple. After you get the first line right, repeat it. Then
find something that rhymes - sort of: "Got a good woman with the meanest
face in town. Yes, I got a good woman with the meanest face in town. Got
teeth like Margaret Thatcher and she weigh 500 pound."

4. The Blues is not about choice. You stuck in a ditch, you stuck in a ditch…ain’t no way out.

5. Blues cars: Chevys, Fords, Cadillacs and broken-down trucks. Blues don’t travel in Volvos, BMWs, or Sport Utility Vehicles. Most Blues transportation is a Greyhound bus or a southbound train. Jet aircraft and state-sponsored motor pools ain’t even in the running. Walkin’ plays a major part in the Blues lifestyle. So does fixin’ to die.

6. Teenagers can’t sing the Blues. They ain’t fixin’ to die yet. Adults sing the Blues. In Blues, "adulthood" means being old enough to get the electric chair if you shoot a man in Memphis.

7. Blues can take place in New York City but not in Hawaii, the Hamptons or anywhere in Canada. Hard times in Minneapolis or Seattle is probably just clinical depression. Chicago, St. Louis and Kansas City are still the best places to have the Blues. You cannot have the Blues in any place that don’t get no rain.

8. A man with male pattern baldness ain’t the Blues. A woman with male pattern baldness is.. Breaking your leg ’cause you were skiing is not the Blues. Breaking your leg ’cause a alligator be chomping on it is.

9. You can’t have no Blues in an office or a shopping mall. The lighting is wrong. Go outside to the parking lot or sit by the dumpster.

10. Good places for the Blues: a. highway b.jailhouse c.empty bed d. bottom of a whiskey glass

11. Bad places for the Blues: a. Nordstrom’s b. gallery openings c. Ivy League institutions d. golf courses

12. No one will believe it’s the Blues if you wear a suit, ‘less you happen to be an old person, and you slept in it.

13. Do you have the right to sing the Blues? Yes, if: a. you’re older than dirt b. you’re blind c. you shot a man in Memphis d. you can’t be satisfied

No, if a. you have all your teeth b. you were once blind but now can see c.the man in Memphis lived d. you have a 401K or trust fund

14. Blues is not a matter of color. It’s a matter of bad luck. Tiger Woods cannot sing the Blues. Sonny Liston could have. Ugly white people also got a leg up on the Blues.

15. If you ask for water and your darlin’ gives you gasoline, it’s the Blues. Other acceptable Blues beverages are: a cheap wine b.whiskey or bourbon c. muddy water d. black coffee The following are NOT Blues beverages: a. Perrier b.Chardonnay c.Snapple d. Slim Fast

16. If death occurs in a cheap motel or a shotgun shack, it’s a Blues death.
Stabbed in the back by a jealous lover is another Blues way to die. So are
the electric chair, substance abuse and dying lonely on a broken-down cot.
You can’t have a Blues death if you die during a tennis match or while
getting liposuction.

17. Some Blues names for women: a. Sadie b. Big Mama c. Bessie
d. Fat River Dumpling

18. Some Blues names for men: a. Joe b. Willie c. Little Willie d. Big Willie e. Brotha Ken

19. Persons with names like Michelle, Amber, Jennifer, Debbie, and Heather
can’t sing the Blues no matter how many men they shoot in Memphis.

20. Blues Name Starter Kit: a. name of physical infirmity (Blind, Mute,
Lame, etc.) b. first name (see above) plus name of fruit (Lemon, Lime,
Kiwi, etc.) c. last name of President (Jefferson, Johnson, Fillmore, Clinton,
etc.) For example: Blind Lime Jefferson, Pegleg Lemon Johnson or Lame Kiwi Clinton, etc. (Well, maybe not "Kiwi.")

21. I don’t care how tragic your life is: if you own a computer, you cannot
sing the blues, period. Sorry!
I dont know the source RT…sorry

As I cried, the men carried me away leaving his body; I wondered what would happen to his corpse. Although, I did not get much time to think as I was taken into wooded area and made to walk. We final came to a metal door. All I could see was black; one of the men lit a candle. As we stumbled down a tunnel, the candle light only lit up a fraction of it. I could smell death. It continued to go down; I thought it would never stop. I hesitantly approached a door. I knew that we had to pass through it. What horrors lay on the other side? In the daylight it would be just an ordinary door, oak panelled, in a sort of dark brown stained varnish colour. The large handle on the right was made of solid brass. In the darkness and half light that came from the candle, it was different. Somehow it was now sinister and frightening. The oak panels became solid and creepy. I reached out slowly towards the door, it called out to me. As ran my fingers down the panels, feeling the grooves, a strange clamminess had accumulated in the air. I slowly grasped the handle, cold and fearless. It filled me with the horror of death. I felt two muscular hands tighten around my shoulders pulling me back causing me to fall onto the floor, hard. Footsteps echoed around round me and the feeling hatred fell over me. A white light filled the blackness, for that second I thought everything could be ok.

The light diapered.

A smell the cheap perfume filled the tunnel, making me feel dizzy, a flash of light temporarily blinded me and my hope faded, it became a dwindling fire burning deep into my soul. A bony hand reached out pulled open the brass handle of the door, shuddering as the mighty hinges creaked loudly and harshly. I felt a lump in my throat as the door opened. When I entered the room, what I saw filled me with horror. Walls were covered in mirrors which reflected the evil. Three metal tables took most of the room up, like beds of iron; one was occupied by the boy who was missing from my English class. His body looked lifeless. One single light hung above the tables, one of the men hit it causing shadows all around the room. However none of this mattered as much as I seeing her, I wanted to know who she was, the most evil thing in this world.

idk if you dont like it - but i just want to know how to improve it
i need to create more tension - it is ment to be dytopian/horror
thanks alot

[10 point for the best answer]
