Repainting old furniture is a great way to spend a day with your family

09/27/11 07:41

A lot of people are always looking for ways to spend time with the family in memorable ways. However, there are only so many malls and cinemas you can go to before everyone starts getting bored. I stumbled across painting furniture as way to creatively spend time with the family last summer. Our deck furniture was in great need of a paint job and we didn't have any plans for that Saturday so I decided to refurbish the furniture. Soon after I started my son joined me as he was a bit bored, then my younger daughter joined as she wanted to be with us, and then the missus came out and helped because everyone else was working on the furniture. We spent the entire day working on it and by the end, we had something to show for the time we spent together other then receipts and shopping bags. Now, we spend the weekends rooting through garage sales seeing if we can find things to fix up for the house.

Writing about a CNC tool

I stumbled upon a review on a diamond studded tool for CNC machines, and found a bit of a funny contradiction.

Now, we are all aware that many machine experts are not writers, and many writers are not machine experts, so if a company wants to promote a new tool in writing, it will often have to hire a writer to do the writing, even if that writer is no expert on the subject.

After all, that's what writing is about, putting on paper what others know.

But maybe in this case, the writer shouldn't have made that quite so clear in the beginning, because the rest of the article goes on to explain the product in such technical terms that no one but the user of this product would surely be able to understand the definitions.

It gives the impression that perhaps not even the writer himself understood them.

Anyone, both male and female, can use any kind of outdoor education

The main reason why people who get lost hiking perish is due to lack of knowledge of the outdoors. Even the simplest education in the outdoors can potentially save your life. Case in point; an eight year old boy in the States was lost in a national park and because he watched Bear from "Man vs. Wild" on the Discovery channel who said that if you are lost in the woods, find a river and head downstream and you'll find people. This tip saved this boy's life. It took him three days to get to people but he is alive today because of watching that program.
