in WHILE YOU WERE SLEEPING, michael rispoli talks to sandra bullock about the leaning. both he and bill pullman have an interesting theory on this leaning business, which translates itself into the movement one lover makes towards the other, aka as moving closer, bending down, leaning.

as i'm painting a few walls in the downstairs through room, i musta been leaning a little on my roll, for the bugger broke off, with a loud crack. it was so comical, but really unfortunate too. i didn't have a spare roller pin.

you do not want to know how i tackled that problem, having no leaning man at hand...
Love that movie....Your having one of my kind of days I have been out in the shop working with Phil....no cracked rollers yet though....smile!
ReplyDeleteMe too... loved that movie...
ReplyDeletesomething so human and very, very heartwarming about it!
Had to laugh about your leaning on that roller til it snapped...
better luck with the next one!
Nice to hear from you today tiny woolf!
Duct tape - I use it for all repairs when Top1 is not available or whenever I do not WANT to lean (darn that independent streak). It does wonders!

oh, please, I would really like to know :)
ReplyDeleteSorry Woolf Ms. but You have me smiling here.
ReplyDeleteI mean, I know you are in a crisis there with your roller, but I have a feeling you've fixed it by now,
and are leaning on a nicely newly painted wall looking at your work and I hope you too are..
smiling!

And
I do want to know how you've tackled that problem!
Hugs,
Ariane.
Helloooo,
ReplyDeleteFeels like I'v had a day of smiles, and your words for me is one of the reasons. Now you just gave me another. I can see it, it's something that would happen to me, just 'snap'. I'm curious too, about the solution.

It's a pity we are so faraway each other... I have two men at home, a collection of painting rolls (I kept buying them and husband keeps taking them to our house by the lake!)... and a tiny balcony half white and half grey since last Summer. I will try the leaning bussines and see if I can have the rest of the balcony white:))
ReplyDeleteYou're worth TWO leaning men put together - still, a Mr Muscle around the house can be handy I suppose :)
ReplyDeleteYou're definitely working hard when even your painting roll decided to quit! I give you an advice of a handsome man of my family, my one and only bro', who brought along so-called panzertape from his military service time...this tape fixes all and everything, believe me! Happy leaning, my dear!
ReplyDeleteOh yes I do want to know how you dealt with that broken roller thing, Kers!!♥
ReplyDeleteTHAT IS ONE OF MY ALL TIME FAVORITE MOVIES! I adore the characters. LOVE the part about "leaning" :)
ReplyDeleteNot so happy to hear of your broken paint roller... but knowing you, you found some very resourceful way to solve it...
I smile when I read your post!:)♥
ReplyDeleteYou make me smile . . . again! I hope you've managed to repair your leaned on roller. And now I'm going to have to see that movie!
ReplyDeleteKaryn xx
oh dear i hope you can still paint while leaning against something...!!
ReplyDeleteHAA HAA HAA!
ReplyDeleteyoure so funny!......sorry to laugh in your hour of need but the connection between your broken roller handle and the leaning theory was entirely of your doing which caused me to laugh out loud then my husband wanted to read it even ol grumpy drawers thought it was amusing!!!
I think youve achieved the drawing challenge here Im still smiling!

Oh, what a delight this post is to read, even though your paint roller didn't survive. Those leaning men can come in very handy at times, but perhaps they're never around when we need them? ;)
ReplyDeleteThat is funny, but I am sure at the moment you didn't thick it to be so. I hope you were able to get your walls painted. Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteYou've been nominated!
