Oily Marks on Walls ** Fish Tales

[Guest guest]

Howdy Carol,

 

Gonna answer this one afore I take my late afternoon nap. Since I was a

yonker I never took naps but now that I am fooling myself into thinking I am

retired .. I take a 30-45 minute Power Nap every afternoon.

 

Hi all,

They are healthy for sure .. sometimes a little rough and tumble depending

on how one looks it at or how vested their interests are in the subject ..

but healthy they are .. I think.

Been there a couple of times. Its gonna depend on the type of wall. When

I lived in Turkey we had plaster walls even in the kitchen and sometimes

grease would splatter onto the wall .. if that happens you just chip out

some plaster and then fill it in .. and repaint. If the wall is paneled or

wood .. rubbing the marks with soapy water will generally do the job .. I do

not recommend bleach. If its wall board this might work .. might not.

Sometimes with wall board you must paint the area with an undercoat paint

then when its real dry .. paint it the natural color. If they are wall

papered .. forget it and live with it or change that strip of paper. Here

are some tips that might work .. I can not say.

You mean you don't believe my fish stories? You really think a

fisherperson would tell a tall tale? Lemme tell you a story I know is true

cause my Cajun buddy down in Louisiana swore it was and when a fisherman

swears something is the truth .. you oughta believe him. Boudroux told

me: " One day I took my pirogue and went to check 'dem crawdad traps. As I

was paddlin around dat ol cypress stump, sometin reched up and flipped my

boat. At dat time I din know if I was mo scared or mo mad but I grapped

holt of whut had my boat and pulled real hard. My pappy saw me fighting dis

ting and he trowed me a rope. I grapped dat rope and he pulled me to da

bank. We pulled up whut I had a holt of and it was da biggest crawdad I

ever done saw. We brought it to da house and boiled it. Don't you know

dat crawdad fed 27 people.
