Decor and exercise
This morning I was walking up to work, and waved to an aquaintance driving by. She was going the opposite direction as me, so I didn't see that she'd stopped her car. When I heard the honk, I turned around and noticed her window rolling down.
"Oh, did you hear about S?" she called through the passenger side.
No, I hadn't.
"She passed on the 12th of July. She didn't survive the liver transplant," and she drove off.
Seeing as I hadn't even known S was ill, this came as a bit of shock. I hadn't ever been close to S, and I hadn't seen her in years, but still. Just a little social tip: Leaning out your window, addressing someone standing on the sidewalk, is not the most appropriate method for informing someone of a death. I appreciated that she stopped to give the information, but I mean, geez.
Anyway.
Two questions:
1) Does anyone have tips or information on doing various faux-finishes on less-than-perfect walls? My Google search results were less than helpful.
2) Does swimming laps count as weight-bearing/resistance exercise?
