What the hell was I thinking?!...
Has this ever happened to you?... You purchase something whether on-line or from a store. You get it home and put it where you wanted it, stand back and say to yourself, "What on earth possesed me to buy this in the first place?!" Or better yet... It needs to be assembled first?... For me it was a do-it-yourself stain glass simulation kit. You put a stencil on the back side of the glass window and with the greatest of ease, apply this rubber compound to the opposite side. They give you these knuckle-busting tubes with little diaphrams in the center of them. The harder you squeeze, the less comes out of these things, that's until the diaphram breaks. Then you can't stop the flow, no way, no how. They make it look so easy on the box... Anybody else?...

Re: What the hell was I thinking?!...
That hasn't happened to me so far, I usually think if I really need whatever I buy, especially on the internet...
There have been times in the past though, that I'd wake up, look next to me and think "What the hell was I DRINKING?"
Yes, I know...

There is no easy way to do staind glass my friend (apparently you have already figured that out) but if you like that sort of stuff im sure there is a glass shop in town that you could take classes at. Ive taken stain glass and am about to get into glass blowing.

Re: What the hell was I thinking?!...
My personal best example of this.... since we have such a huge yard, and a two story house with a basement,
I agreed to a purchase of a two way radio set, silly me...thought it would save me from running up and down stairs, and from the back of the yard when we (husband and I) could communciate by radio....till I was annoyed several times in the yard by him making use of this gadget, the last message he radioed me with before I packed the fuckers up and put'em in a closet?
"honey, honey...come here...I can't find the TV remote!"
