Ummm , and you're not venomous about it ?? So you have smart
girlfriend with 2 perfect kids...Good for you and them..It still
doesn't diminish the fact that laminate doesn't play well with
liquids...You know , things like a spilled dogs water dish while
asleep or away for a few hours , or a dishwasher or ice maker leak ,
or any other accident...It doesn't mean you're a pig...Or perhaps you
were looking in the mirror at the time ???

Some, but probably not all, manufactured laminate is impervious to water.
Also dog drool, baby pee, petroleum solvents, alcohol, fuming acids, and
molten lava.

I had some laminate left over from reworking a spare room and used it for
the kitchen's COUNTERTOP! (It looks like butcher-block). After about a year,
I've added to laminate's list of features that it doesn't stain, scratch,
break, expand, or do anything but just sit there and look swell.

Much like my first wife.
