My alias. Before I-Hub I had never been on a talk/post site so obviously I didn't think too long and hard for a handle.
I was however exited about my first stock to ever invest in and all I could think of was "count me in", thus Countmein. Why the run on? Well, my first thought for an alias was Wonghunglow. But even with that run together I didn't think I-Hub would allow it.
Now with that alias would've come a more exiting story!

If you want a really nice shade of white and if you want to use Sherwin Williams paint try the color "origami" white. It's a light greyish color that goes with anything.

Home Depot may not have that exact product but they will have something similar. Ask someone in that department, tell them what you're trying to do.
If nothing else a mortar mix can do the same thing. That's basically cement without gravel.
I would also feather it out further. There is also a vinyl patch material you could try as well.

No problem. I used to do home remodels for a living. Could always tell when sizing was applied before the paper or not.
I recently took down some paper in my own home that I put up years ago (with sizing underneath) and most of it came off in full sheets. All that was left was thin spatter of glue which came off easily with sponge and water.
Also might be of some help, if you are going to texture before painting, most of the time a good mud man can fill those places that you are scaring while he is texturing.
EDIT That's if you go with a hand troweled texture. If a roll on texture or no texture at all then it would have to be smoothed out.
Count
Sounds like who ever hung the wallpaper didn't apply "wall sizing" first. If that's the case there's not much you can do that's going to keep the underlining mudwork from getting too soft.
The purpose of the sizing is to create a barrier between the raw sheetrock and wallpaper.
Probably going to have to do a little mud work to smooth out the joints and corners before painting over. All hardware stores will have "joint compound" to do this.

Lol, that's some nasty shet right there!

Navy Chaplain Censored: ‘Don’t pray in the name of Jesus’
A Navy chaplain who faces the end of a stellar 19-year career because of his faith-based views on marriage and human sexuality was told by a base commander to refrain from offering a prayer in the name of Jesus, according to attorneys representing the chaplain.
That allegation was tucked away in an 18-page letter written to the commander of Navy Region Southeast by Liberty Institute attorneys representing Chaplain Wesley Modder. Liberty Institute is a law firm that specializes in religious liberty cases.
Liberty Institute asserts that Chaplain Modder’s fate could have a significant impact on every Christian military chaplain.
The letter included the results of Liberty Institute’s investigation of allegations levied against the chaplain by Captain John Fahs.
I’ll tackle that newest allegation later – but first here’s a recap of what I believe to be the LGBT-inspired witch hunt against Chaplain Modder:
Last December, an openly gay officer at the Naval Nuclear Power Training Command in South Carolina, took offense at Modder’s take on homosexuality. The chaplain, who is endorsed by the Assemblies of God, was accused of discrimination and failing to show tolerance and respect – among other things.
Just a few months earlier, Modder’s commander had called him the “best of the best” and a consummate professional leader.” But now he’s on the verge of being kicked out of the military.
“After our investigation, it is clear that the facts and law are on Chaplain Modder’s side,” Liberty Institute attorney Michael Berry said. “He has done nothing more than provide ministerial services in accordance with the precepts of his faith – which is completely consistent with Navy rules and federal law.”

Their letter is a point by point repudiation of the allegations against the highly respected chaplain – a man who once led chaplains who ministered to Navy SEALs.
“We believe the Navy will exonerate Chaplain Modder and restore him to continue his true calling of ministering to sailors and Marines as he has done for the past 15 years,” Berry said.
Liberty Institute maintains that Modder’s private counseling on issues involving human sexuality and same-sex marriage were consistent with the beliefs of his endorsing agency – the Assemblies of God.
“As a result of honoring the tenets of his endorsing denomination, he now faces the loss of his employment and removal from the Navy,” Liberty Institute wrote.
While Chaplain Modder specifically denies accusations that he used inappropriate language or gestures, he does admit to providing answers to questions from a Biblical world view.
“On occasion and only when asked, he expressed his sincerely held religious belief that sexual acts outside of marriage are contrary to biblical teaching; homosexual conduct is contrary to biblical teaching and homosexual orientation or temptation as distinct from conduct is not a sin,” Liberty Institute wrote.
They also reminded the Navy that Department of Defense regulations allow Chaplain Modder to hold religious beliefs.
“Navy chaplains are never required to compromise the standards of their religious organization, but are required to perform in a pluralistic environment,” they wrote.
That brings me back to the moment when Chaplain Modder was told he could not pray in the name of Jesus Christ.
Liberty Institute alleges it happened shortly after Modder assumed chaplaincy responsibilities at the training command. He was asked to deliver an invocation at a ceremony.
As he was walking to the lectern, Fahs is alleged to have told him to deep-six the Jesus talk – “counsel that Chaplain Modder accepted and with which he complied.”
Chaplain Modder’s fate could have a significant impact on every Christian military chaplain, asserts Liberty Institute.
Taking action, they argue, “Would send a dangerous message that other chaplains who share his beliefs – the vast majority of military chaplains – may also suffer adverse personnel actions and would have a profound chilling effect on any chaplain who seeks to provide biblical care.”
And if the Navy silences chaplains – they could certainly silence sailors.
“If the Navy can remove a chaplain who expresses his religious beliefs, then service members who share those beliefs will believe that they, too, are unwelcome in the Navy,” Liberty Institute wrote.
These are indeed difficult days for Christians who want to serve in the Armed Forces.

Throw a dead animal in your septic tank once in a while, rabbit,snake,cat,skunk,roadkill, whatever you can find. I've lived at the same place since 1987 and have never had the septic tank cleaned out.
My gray water does not go into septic tank. Plumbed it that way in 87. I do use a couple packets of yeast twice a year as well. Is it the yeast or dead animals? Maybe a little of both. All I know is I've never had to deal with any problems.

Man shoots computer in Colorado Springs alley, gets revenge he wanted - and a citation
When ctrl + alt + delete doesn't work, just shoot the darn thing.
That's what one man did on Monday night, according to Colorado Springs police. Lucas Hinch, 37, was cited for discharging a weapon within city limits after he took the fight with his computer outside and got the revenge most of us only dream about.
"He got tired of fighting with his computer for the last several months," Lt. Jeff Strossner said. "He was having technology problems, so he took it out in the back alley and shot it."
Strossner tweeted Hinch "executed" his computer in an alley on the 2200 block of West Colorado Avenue.
The penalty for the citation will be up to a judge, police said, adding that Hinch was good-natured about the citation and hadn't realized he was breaking the law when he went Wild West on that useless piece of technology.
Hinch shot it eight times, Strossner said, "effectively disabling it."
The computer is not expected to recover.

Man who shot Reagan rejoins society
Reagan shooter finds rejection, indifference in future home
The last man to shoot an American president now spends most of the year in a house overlooking the 13th hole of a golf course in a gated community.
He likes taking walks, plays guitar and paints, eats at Wendy's and drives around in a Toyota. Often, as if to avoid detection, he puts on a hat or visor before going out.
John Hinckley Jr. lives much of the year like any average Joe: shopping, eating out, watching movies.
Hinckley was just 25 when he shot President Ronald Reagan and three others in 1981. When jurors found him not guilty by reason of insanity, they said he needed treatment, not a lifetime in confinement. The verdict left open the possibility that he would one day live outside a mental hospital.
For the past year, under a judge's order, Hinckley has spent 17 days a month at his mother's home in Williamsburg, a small southeastern Virginia city. Freedom has come in stages and with strict requirements: meeting regularly in Williamsburg with a psychiatrist and a therapist, volunteering. It has all been part of a lengthy process meant to reintegrate Hinckley, now nearing 60, back into society.
Court hearings are set to begin Wednesday on whether to expand Hinckley's time in Williamsburg further - possibly permanently.
That leaves some in the place he'd call home wondering: Is he ready for life on the outside? And are they ready for him?
___
Local real estate agent John Womeldorf always points out the street where Hinckley's 89-year-old mother lives if he's showing a house in the same resort community. He doesn't want new homeowners to be surprised after they've moved in.
"I just matter-of-factly ask them 'Do you remember the guy that shot President Reagan?' And usually they do and I say, 'Well his mother lives here and he gets released a number of times a year and comes and stays with his mom,'" Womeldorf said.
The news has deterred maybe one or two buyers, he said. "It's been a non-issue."
Not so for others. Cabot Wade, a musician who gave Hinckley guitar lessons, said he never felt Hinckley was violent or dangerous. Nevertheless, he said, "Nobody will touch him with a 10-foot pole."
In hearings before U.S. District Judge Paul L. Friedman, doctors have testified that Hinckley's psychosis and major depression have been in remission for decades and that, while he still has a narcissistic personality disorder, its effects have diminished. Psychological testing shows Hinckley's dangerousness risk is "decidedly low," Hinckley's longtime lawyer, Barry Levine, said during the most recent hearings over his release that ran intermittently from late 2011 through 2013.
For decades, Hinckley was confined to St. Elizabeths Hospital in the nation's capital. But Judge Friedman has been allowing him freedom in stages starting with a 2003 order: at first, day visits outside the institution, then local overnight visits.
Starting in 2006, Hinckley was allowed three-night trips to Williamsburg, then four, then more. In late 2013, Friedman approved the current 17-day stretches. Friedman said he was persuaded Hinckley was not a danger and that the longer stays might "provide new opportunities for employment and structured community activities."
In Wednesday's hearing, St. Elizabeths and Levine are expected to call for even more freedom. Prosecutors, however, have consistently opposed Hinckley's release, arguing he has a history of deceptive behavior and troubling relationships with women. During the last hearings, they cited a July 2011 incident in which he went to a bookstore instead of a movie and then lied about it. The Secret Service, whose agents sporadically tail Hinckley, reported he looked at shelves that contained books about Reagan and his attempted assassination, though he didn't pick anything up.
"Mr. Hinckley has not shown himself ready to conduct the hard work of transitioning to a new city," prosecutor Sarah Chasson said in 2011.
Experts not involved in Hinckley's case said that people like him can successfully transition back to a community and that there are tools to evaluate whether they remain dangerous, though there are limits. That's why the standard approach is to give freedom incrementally and monitor, said Dr. Paul Appelbaum, a professor of psychiatry at Columbia University and a past president of the American Psychiatric Association.

Hinckley's time in Williamsburg is highly scripted. He lives with his mother, Jo Ann, in the community of Kingsmill. He volunteers and drives alone, but only to places where "people will be expecting him." He must avoid "areas where the president or members of Congress may be visiting."
The aim is to help him rebuild some semblance of a normal life: to hold a job, make friends. But his progress has been halting, hampered by his notoriety.
Several organizations turned him down for volunteer positions before the librarian at Eastern State Hospital, a facility for the mentally ill, agreed to take him. "Not everyone was real happy about it," Sandra Kochersperger said.
Hinckley was "very quiet" and "very sweet," she said. He made copies and shelved books.
"I think John's paid for what he did. He was in a totally different mind at that time. He was psychotic," said Kochersperger, who retired in 2013. "I think he needs to be given the opportunity at this stage to try to have some kind of a life."
Some other residents are also accepting, but others are unwilling to forgive. Kingsmill resident Joe Mann, 73, said Hinckley should remain confined.
"All it takes is one slip, one flip of whatever in the brain caused him to do what he did before," he said.
Hinckley's attorney has called those concerns are unfounded, and notes that Hinckley's elderly mother helps supervise him. Lawyers have discussed the inevitable: She will die.
"Time is not our friend. This thing has a growing urgency to it," Levine told the judge in November 2011.
"The time," he said, "is now."
