Does anyone know anything about refinishing furniture? I have a pair of chairs from my grandparents that I LOVE, and know they probably need to be professionally refinished, but is there any sort of "temporary fix" I can do for where the finish has worn off on the arm rests?

Zissou and I visited the fire station today and it was very much the dream of any seven year old boy come true.
They also had a jar of peanut butter, a bag of carrots, and a bag of our favorite corn chips in the kitchen, which is the dream of any lab or lab mix come true.

I'm doing a "decorate your own tree" coloring page thing at work and this is one of my examples for a more creative tree.
Tomorrow I'm thinking a Fraser fir and a Frasier fir might be added to the mix

I spent $3 on a Blu-ray of Paul Blart Mall Cop 2 and then my parents blu-ray player decided it would no longer play blu-rays.

If you ever visit my hometown of Downers Grove, my biggest recommendations will be to try to see a movie at the Tivoli and get ice cream at Every Day's a Sundae (which is about a 1 minute walk from the Tivoli)
The snow capped Tivoli Theatre (1928) in Downers Grove, one of the first in the state to show talking pictures. Magnificent on the inside but was closed when I walked by today.

I have come to the idea that we have to collectively, brutally, ritualistically kill Target just to show capital that we truly aren’t fucking around.

Where is everyone buying jeans when you have battled the "waist gap" your whole life, like a midrise, and Old Navy discontinued your beloved Pop Icon Skinny Jean, but you also like a FULLY INTACT JEAN because you work in a lab

Ok so my dad tried a Blu-ray of Spider-Man that's part of our "withdrawn from the public library" collection and it WORKED??? it has a full layer of a thick sticker on the disc for their checkout system. I don't understand??? Putting a thick layer of tape on a disc so it plays is not sustainable???

In another round of "oh my god" Thanksgiving Weekend, my dad accidentally splattered all the sodas in boxes in the garage with snowblower oil. I found a can of coke that either had exploded coke or oil on it, he asked to take a look, LICKED IT, and went "coke!"

It is the Sunday after thanksgiving and I have tried for two days now to get my Blu-ray copy of Paul Blart Mall cop 2 to play in my parents blu-ray player.
I have gone through all the sony troubleshooting tips (from Sony and other individuals when Sony didn't do anything).
I'm giving up.

Friends, this was the most uncomfortable 45 minutes of my life because it was a time of "maybe I need more water?" followed by "ohhhh nooooo that's worse"
I got my wiper blades changed though and didn't hurl on my coat or in my hair but someone's going to snowblow or plow today and get a surprise 😬

If I order pad thai tonight (as a treat for doing like 3543 adult things today), do we think it will destroy my stomach? I'm like an acid reflux way.
I could also order paneer fried rice but I feel like that's more guaranteed to hurt my tummy?
I mean I have soup at home too but I want a treat.
