Double up on the OTC naproxen sodium and chase with spirits of choice.

That sounds even better.  =D

Also changed thread title since the "acoustic" misnomer appears to be a regional alternate for the popcorn / cottage cheese / crap sandwich.

Ha! Yeah, if it was a house I was living in,  that crap would be gone.  I don't know what the hell was going through the heads of architects and builders in the 70s.

The '70s and '80s are both decades that make you go "Why, DEAR GOD WHY!?" a lot.

Dad sprayed the popcorn texture crap on the ceilings here back when he built the house because he didn't want to paint the ceiling too. It's coming back on him 27 years later. We've gotten rid of it in the living room now but there is still the kitchen, bedrooms and bathrooms to do too when we install new flooring and repaint those.

The 1970s were a freaking disaster socially, economically, and culturally in the United States.

The 1980s, however, were a LOT better on all fronts. I remember the 1980s quite fondly. Graduated high school, graduated college, etc.
