Never make another relationship mistake!
=v= I know, it sounds like spam, but when I was thumbing through that highfalutin' Harper's and saw an ad promising to end all relationship mistakes, I was naturally intrigued. Even moreso when I went to the advertised website and learned that it involved something called "panelling." This is a bit counterintuitive to me, since of course everyone knows the 1970s were the heyday of panelling (walnut-grained, in particular), and that's when all them lib'rul Baby Boomers were wreckin' marriages left and right. But the website assures me that it works:
Throughout history arranged marriages matched future couples using everything from astrological charts to family history. That very process meant unsuitable mates were automatically screened out. ... Panelling is a new way to separate the cast-offs from the keeper. Read the Find a Keeper ebook and discover the confidence of panelling.
I have a better idea: get Sunset's Basic Carpentry book. It starts by explaining what hammers and nails are (there are illustrations), and only 100 pages later you're building an entire house. I never realized it would prevent relationship mistakes, but panelling tips are in there too. Jym Bob sez check it out.
My brother-in-law is ripping out the panelling in his house. All of it. Does that make him a confirmed bachelor?
