What I've been doing lately...

[Mark321]

Yesterday was a busy day for me. I made some procedural changes and updated my services guide and I did something that shocked me. I was hanging signage on my door. It was a 13 x 19 inch poster of my new logo and I realized that putting the image in a frame would be silly because every time someone opened the door my sign would fall to the ground, so that was out. So then, I figured, since my door is made of wood I could nail or thumb-tack it to the door. Good luck there. The thumbtacks would not go into the wood. The wood was too hard. I bent the tacks trying. Not good. So then it occurred to me, why not glue the thing to the door. I pulled out some 3M Scotch brand Mounting spray. You know, the kind that's for mounting photos in a frame. I know what you're thinking. I thought it too. It'll never work. But I'll be damned! The image stuck! I never expected THAT kind of results and so fast too! Made me wonder if I should NOT have done that. LOL! Oh, well. It's done! If you ever need to stick a photo to a piece of wood, try Mounting Spray (adhesive in a can). I don't know if other brands will stick or not but 3M Scotch brand DID! Oh, I almost forgot. My door has paint on it so the image is actually stuck to the paint (no, the paint's not wet). I'm lovin' it!

P.S...My brother is coming to town Friday to pick me up. We are going to pick up Mom and Dad's anniversary cake. Their anniversary is this Saturday. Maybe I'll do some mind reading for them on their anniversary. It's a lot of fun. While we are at the restaurant I will read my Parent's minds and I guess I'll just turn around in public and point to some guy I don't know, eating nearby and read his mind too. Only if what he's thinking would be appropriate to read out loud to everyone else. I will turn to 3 or 4 people and in quick succession, read their private thoughts out loud and ask them am I right. I usually am but not always. During a show I once asked a man to stand and asked him if he was thinking of a city somewhere in the world. He said "yes". Then I said, "Is it Monte Carlo?" and he said "yes" again. You should have seen the people in the audience. Their jaws dropped. LOL!

Mark, do you mind read yourself in a mirror?

Also take up a new new skill: prescience. That way, you'll be able to jump immediately to gluing to paint and, with enough practice, checking ahead to see if it will ever come off cleanly.

Oh, Monte Carlo cannot be a city as it is part of the Principality of Monaco, which is a sovereign city-state, country and microstate; Monte Carlo is a Quartier.

Do you know what I'm thinking? I know what you're thinking.

scotch mounting spray will tend to disolve the paint and seep into the wood, thereby forming a bond that 'ordinary glue' might not

nice place monte carlo, but a tad expensive

Actually that is the way to learn to read people. Get in front of a mirror and watch your eyes. NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming) is the place to start learning the basics of mind reading human expressions and body language. But it does take some time to master it. Mind reading is a skill and like all skills you must have a passion for it to help get good at it. It is interesting that 1 in 5 people are a natural at it. I was one of the lucky ones.

Never actually been to Monte Carlo...no...wait...I HAVE been to Monte Carlo. It's a large luxury hotel in Las Vegas, Nevada. Did some magic there once, about 5 years ago. LOL!
And, yes, Acorn, I know what you were thinking at the time you were writing your reply. You were thinking I can't read your mind!

handrawn, let's hope the glue doesn't dissolve the paint. That might be a bad thing. As for the town of Monte Carlo, I've never been so I wouldn't know if it's expensive or not. But I do think I've seen Monte Carlo in a James Bond film, I think.

back in the day, I was there a couple of times for the 'Rally' - business fortunately, from the fiscal point of view... and no I did not go to the casino, not my thing; I have 'strolled' along the Bois de Boulogne [but that's in "Paris, France!" as John Peel used to take great delight in saying ]
