Atticus has been waiting to leave his wife and his jealous mistress The Law for an Amazon Princess who wants a boy toy.

She was my roommate in college and has given birth to two children. She probably would even look more masculine to you geniuses because she's thinner and older than the chick in the picture.

Atticus is the only genius posting here. Me? I'm more a savant in that one narrow area.

maybe try to get a hair sample and have the local university do a DNA check if you're worried.

so a house guest (thinking he was helping out) thought it would be a good idea to put some what he thought were cooled-off ashes from a live fire into a receptacle next to the fireplace. But of course, ashes in a live fire should never be placed into a paper bag. The result was some scorched floor, which I've been trying to repair myself. So, I sanded it down, stained it, and it really doesn't look all that different. The scorch mark is much smaller, but it's not gone completely.

I'm afraid to sand too far, because the floorboards are original (about 175 years old) and I don't want to sand a hole in the thing. Any suggestions from you home-improvement types out there?

How about, leave the scorch mark as character thing, a conversation piece if you will. Make up a "true story" about how it happened........eg.....you were watching Fantastic Four on cable on demand and Johnny Storm flamed on right out of the tv and into your house and you had to beat him back with your antique victorian fire bellows.......depending on the audience maybe you can spice it up and throw in some sexxx with human flame......

Take out the boards and turn them around. If it's 175 years old, I'm betting it's a flat board, not a tongue and groove, and thus fairly easy to take out. If it's tongue and groove (that is, if you're living in a place that was built as a mansion 175 years ago, Ms. Hoity-Toity), the best way to avoid breaking the tongue in extracting it is to start from the side of the room, which can be a big project.

The turned over boards may well be darker than your other boards, since they won't have been bleached by light for the last 175 years. What kind of wood? Getting the turned over wood to match is an art. You can try a bit of bleach (water it way down, apply lightly, wait several days, repeat as necessary), but you'll likely still have a bit of a noticeable spot. You can get into moving boards around (e.g., put the dark boards under the rug or the sofa), but the project will just keep growing out of control once you head down that path. If the floor already shows variation, you'll be better off than if it's even.

Have you considered seducing a carpenter?

a lot will depend on how you and the guest tell your stories in deposition, but I think you have a pretty good case. is the guest out of state? because, if so, em will be motivated to settle this thing quickly.

frame the complaint to focus on the intentional act of putting the ashes in the bag, and that no permission was sought. in laying out the damages I suggest emphasizing the wood's age and that it simply cannot be replaced.

ask for some odd number, say $389,000, so it seems like you didn't just pluck the amount out of your ass.

Perhaps engage Roy Pearson to represent this one. that will show you mean business and aren't just flying by the seat of your pants.......
