Well if it were me. I would clean it up and see how it looks as you may be surprised.Then if you don't like it cover it up with what you bought,besides if you do put the planks on putting it on a clean floor will make it easy to apply.

yesterday.......

I went to see my brother....and I actually thought to mention the bike he said he had for me....
he got it out of the shed....put air in the tires....greased the chain...and told me to give it a try....
I hadnt been on a bike in some 20 years...(not since my cousins bikes brakes failed on me going down a hill). I told him this and he said "dont worry....you never forget".
When I was a kid I literally lived on my bike...it was freedom...like your first car...
So....I hopped on....started down the street (incidentally, the same street I first learned to ride my bike on as a kid) wobbly at first...then building confidence as I went along....the brakes were tricky...my first (and only) bike had the brakes where you just went back on the pedals....but....by the time I got home I felt like I was 10 again and couldnt stop smiling.......

Smiling...

My second cousin, (my cousin's daughter?) is in the finals for the Miss Rodeo Colorado!

Beauty and brains run in our Family DNA. Good Luck!

[cinnamongrrl]

the quickest phone call Ive ever had with a government agency.....

I was doing a paper purge....and came upon a letter from the Dept of Education. They had taken nearly all my tax return a few years back....and told me I was free and clear on my student loans.....

well.....

every time I apply for financial aid I get denied because they report back I still owe....I called the number on the letter and in less than 10 minutes...including hold time...I got it cleared up...Im to receive a letter stating such and when I get where Im going and apply to school(s) they said its easy enough to fax the necessary form directly to the financial aid department.....

woohooooo!!!!!

We asked HuffPost editors which sayings bother them the most, and found that the common thread among the responses was uselessness.

Often, the phrases that we find off-putting are those that serve as conversational fillers, implying that the speaker is vapid or has little else to contribute to the conversation.

Business and Internet jargon ("There's no 'I' in team" and "This. So much this," respectively) are irritating in their own rights, but phrases said in day-to-day conversation can be the most grating.

Here are 22 common expressions people secretly hate. Let us know which sayings you dislike in the comments!:

"Everything happens for a reason."
... except when it doesn't.

"If it's meant to be, it's meant to be."
"If fact #1 is true, then fact #1 is true." This falls under the "you actually just said nothing" category.

"I mean..."
This expression, like "let me think," is somewhat of a conversation hedge, so we can forgive it. Still, why call attention to the fact that you're saying what you mean? Do you normally not say what you mean?

"To be frank..."
"As opposed to the rest of the things I say, which are evasive..."

"Honestly..."
"Typically I'm lying, but in this case I'm being honest."

"Just sayin'."
Just sayin' what?! And why do you feel the need to alert people that you are, indeed, speaking? "Just sayin'" is often followed by a rude statement, in a feeble attempt to soften the blow.

"At the end of the day..."
The metaphorical version of the already trite, "when it's all said and done...". The best part? It's said at all hours of the day.

"Same difference."
So... is it the same? Or different? Are the differences between the two things that you're comparing the same?

"Do what you love."
This is a nice sentiment, but it oversimplifies the task of finding a vocation, hobby or path. Plus, it implies that everyone has the ability and funds to follow their hearts, whether their hearts desire terminal degrees, improv classes, or their very own Etsy shops.

"Let me tell you something."
Along the lines of, "Can I ask you something?" this phrase is completely needless.

"I apologize if I made you feel that way."
I.e. "I refuse to take responsibility for my actions."

"My bad."
This expression makes light of a mistake -- rather than a sincere apology, "my bad" is the verbal equivalent of a shrug.

"Sorry I'm not sorry."
Fine when used facetiously, but so irritating when said in earnest. It's a more straightforward version of the above.

"No worries."
This is fine when said to someone who had sincere worries, but is often used passive aggressively, as in: "I'm going to be a little late." "No worries!" Wait, should I have been worried?

"Chill out."
"Your concerns are not valid and are totally drowning out my Phish live stream."

"Sunday funday!"
Rhyming does not an acceptable phrase make.

"I've got a case of the Mondays."
Who wouldn't, after Sunday funday?

"Killing it."
Because what's success without severe aggression? Also, it may be physically impossible to say this phrase without simultaneously high-fiving someone.

"Work hard, play hard."
If you're really working that hard, wouldn't you need to sleep hard at some point?

"Give 110 percent."
Not possible.

"Yeah, no."
So... you mean "no"? If you mean no, just say "no"!

[WildHorses]

Uh oh,

"Just sayin'." guilty
"No worries." guilty

"Yeah no" is my most bothered of the group. Aaargh! It just sounds so sarcastic and smartassery to me. Even rude almost. This is a good list though, "at the end of the day" is very annoying to me as is "just sayin'". I was glad to see this so that I knew I wasn't the only one! =)
