Actually, I have better luck with entertainment stands, bookshelves, etc. by finding them at an office place, like officemax.

I want either oak or mahoganny though. There may be some places in town but the few i have walked into last year told me they do not carry any hardwood bookcases.

Good luck.. I ran into the same thing when I was looking for some.. I ended up getting two cheapie mdf ones because I couldn't find any decent ones.

Have you tried the unfinished furniture place by B&B pet stop. They might have something.

Snakeman....I am scared of my own finishing methods

Brandon ..... what is wrong with teflon. And sup with the book man...i may need to check that sucker out.

I have a good many wwii books if you're into warfare.

Teflon is polymerized tetrafluoroethylene(had to look up the spelling), it's fine if used as your supposed to.. but who hasn't ever overheated a pan? At past 500 degrees it releases the tetrafluorethylene gas ... we have birds, this gas kills birds because of their more delicate respiratory system.. it is not worth risking it for us, we love our feathered friends. You can find lots more information on it if you're interested, look up the OSHA MSDS on tetrafluoroethylene for more info.

Was a pretty good christmas.. albeit a weird one, my moms house burned in october, and my sis&brother in law sold their trailer to build a house.. so we held the one for my family at an odd spot.. but it was ok, we ate lots had fun, etc..

Eye wash cup... people used to used them when we didn't have walmarts and visene

Brandon i thought those frags were not going to make it since that tank was cycling. They started looking extremely bad but today the tank looks better and all the frags are open and expanding.

a Hoodie is a hooded shirt or jacket this one is a fleece jacket type thing.

Not a mule fetish, I just like them.

Brandon explained the eye cup. I have several, different shapes, mostly just different colors and mixes of colors.

I have a green slag (looks like green marble), a purple slag, an orange slag, a white satin opalescent, a milk glass (sold white), a couple that are clear and a few others....they're collectibles. My Mother-in-law happened to find a clear eyecup in the original box it had come in when it was sold to begin with.
