I believe, I have one too. I hate how it gets all sweaty under there.

Nasty.

it is better for you to wear it, I was stupid once and decided to sand and paint when I was pregnant, I cannot stand waiting for a man to finish a job that has been sitting unfinished for over a month, so I did it my damn self, got it all sanded painted in one day, I was so happy and proud of how nice it looked, hubby came home and instead of saying woohoo thanks and it looks great, he yelled at me for not wearing a mask while I was sanding since I was preggers.......guess what happened next.......I was was crying like a banshee....you do not yell at a pregnant woman.

It is important to always use protection.

Oh and good idea to wear a mask too. :)

Serious those fine particles in the lungs are a bad thing and, over time, can lead to real problems. I know on a few things I work on I wear a rebreather appliance. No way I am getting insulation in my lungs. That thing makes your mask look like a sissy. :P

Glad you are taking care of yourself.

I think you look friggin adorable..

I cant wait to see pictures of everything once its done..

will you be my mother instead of my father?

What is that hanging chad behind you?

Good eye Milkmaid, I had not payed attention to the hanging smoke detector. Has Haint Crabby been cooking again? :)

I bet all the dust in the air would set that thing of. Good idea to dissable it.

And you put that on just to do some painting, right???

Nose sweat is the worst. It gets all funky inside those masks.

Deb, YES! It's GROSS! And.... you can smell your own breath. I brush my teeth before I sand. LOL!
PS. never...NEVER...eat chinese food before you have to put one of those things on. The garlic could knock you out.

Jodes, that's how I am too. I can't wait. It's torture when the job belongs to the guy or somebody you hired. I about yanked myself bald-headed last summer waiting for the guys to get pool filling and porch plans together.
Menopausal women get violent. LOL! Wait'll that one hits ya. Talk about feeling empowered! WOOT! You end up walk around with hot flashes sayin stuff like..."BRING ON PAL...I GOT NUTHIN TO LOSE!"

Barman, protection is alway a good thing. Wouldn't wanna wake up with a case of the uglies in your unmentionable area. LOL!
I got a nice dose of those fine particles you're talking about. That stuff is seriously nasty!
I have to wear the mask because I'm allergic to dust too. Causes me all kinds of problems. But I'm still excited about getting these stairs done.

Lady Roxanne, I'm anxious to get it done so I can show you guys the difference. Milky and I have been trying to talk Bob into letting me do this for 6 years.
I'd be honored to switch from Luke's father to your mother. LOL!

Milky, I knew..KNEW you'd be the first to notice that blasted thing. First of all, it's not really that I burn that much. I personally thing that thing has a hair trigger or something. And anyhow...I like my meat DONE. These guys expect me to cook more often cuz we're on some kinda austerity program or something. So I unhooked it cuz that high pitched screaming thing makes me nuts.

Barman, I'm not that smart, dude. It's my cooking. Things smoke up a little when I cook. Not bad or anything. Just kinda.

Gareth, no. Actually, in America, when we go out to dinner, that's part of our dinner attire. In polite company it prevents embarrassing spillage.
BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAA HA HA HA HA HA HA! I love to mess with the Irish guys.

Sign, yes, it is! It's miserable. Not only is it hot and sweaty but ya sound like you're underwater or something every breath you take.

Just don't sneeze inside it. With your luck, an apricot might appear inside.

I think it looks cute, Doc.

So you make blackened this and that? So you cook Cajun... nice.

LOL you look like me when I am at work looking after some patient with an infectious disease..are yha sure your're not a nurse crabby???

Sign, (sigh) What am I gonna do with you? OOOOO. I know. ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh ha ha ha ha ha!

Nick, awwww, thanks. Kinda icky when I take the blasted thing off. I have pillow face. Not to mention everything that wasn't covered is kind of brownish and that part is snow white. LOL!

Barman, I do believe, I am the original cajun. There's no meat I can't turn to stone. Ask Bob and Jake. LOL! (they complain wayyyy too much)

Cazzie, LMAO!!!!! Me? As a nurse? ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh ha ha ha ha! You'd have sick folks jumpin off the hospital roof just to end it faster.

It looks like you are about to perform some faith healing and pull out a heart or something.

I think the funniest part is that you're wearing it crooked.....priceless.
