Ok, this is going to sound odd, but we finished a dining room wall with some old newspapers. I know it sounds flat-out stupid, but it looks really cool, kind of like those old women's purses that had newsprint. I get a lot of compliments around the park. Anyways, i just noticed that one of the sections of paper was on a local priest who molested about 15 kids and was sent to prison for 11 years or some short time like that. well, his ex-wife (married before he entered the priesthood, then divorced) is coming over tonight for dinner with me, my mom and some locals from inside the park, and i'm afraid she's going to see this article and get all mad. How can i cover it up or remove it? this could be a big Park-Faux-Paus. I need help fast :wall:

Could you hang something over it? Or put some piece of furniture in front of it?
Depending on how you put up the paper, could you put another piece over it?
Good Luck-

Blessings,
Debbie

Now the question is - is Kirk going to stay up there?

actually i didn't have time to elaborate, but it's actually a poster with a clip from the show and it has Kirk Cameron and his friend Boner, so yes, it's staying up for now :thumbup:
