Heh. So, my grandma will be coming home from the convalescent home, but things arent so hot with her. She will basically be stuck in the living room because she needs a hoyer lift and our halls are too narrow to move it around much. So we are repainting the living room, and building a ramp so she can get into the house. The painting though is. . . fun. You see, we have water damage to our ceiling. The plaster/sheetrock/whatever the hell the ceiling is, is cracked and broken in a few spots, mainly just the layers of paint though. So first we have to scrape off the cracked and loose paint, sand down the edges of whats left, patch a few bad spots with some stucco, then repaint everything. Do eyes have some sort of magnetic attraction going on with paint dust from sanding? I swear I am about to develop daredevils sonar ability simply by learning to sand with my eyes closed.

There's a reason why painters use masks and goggles.

Because the dust is magnetized towards flesh and eyeballs? I KNEW IT!
