HOT -- HOT -- HOT!!!!! STICKY -- STICKY -- STICKY! When is this heat wave going to end? We had a couple heavy downpours last night but then it felt like a sauna. YUCK!!! The pain is getting worse too, even with the A/C.

We were hoping the 2nd one worked!!! ha~ :Thats-Funneh:

Oh, you meant it was for "cooling off". :Sorry:

*googling Humane Soc. for rescue dogs for AMN* :laptop:

greyhound?, no... poodle? nah~~ terrior? ~ uh-uh

hmmmm! :Hum: I got it! A SAINT BERNARD!!

Dangit. Why don't we have any smilies for assault with a deadly weapon?

Woo hooooo! Now you're talkin'!

Take that, dm!!!!! Ha!

Here's my favorite deadly weapon.. http://home.earthlink.net/~sal.pal/s...res/fing17.gif ...:o

Doin' the happy dance:Excited: because I just finished a project that's been hanging over my head for 3 months! I started it 3 years ago and it's gone through multiple versions. Knocking on wood, that this might actually be the last time I have to see it's ugly mug.

Now I'm off to walk the monsters. Sad when I have to wait until 930 pm to walk them! Heat index was 108 today - what's up with that. If I wanted heat like that, I'd have moved to AZ!

In other really good news....I'm going on Friday to get my "badonka donk" on! Trace Adkins is coming here and I get to go see him for free. If you haven't heard the song - you should watch this. You can't be in a bad mood after watching the video - I've tried, it's just not possible. Unfortunately, I got busted once singing this really loud while I was out hiking. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=epdmJwH-IdU

I watched the video, Greta and I loved it. You're right about the good mood.....only one thing...my bodonka donk is a sight to behold. I'd a knocked him clean off the stage..:eek: :p

Hi Greta
Sounds like a great day all around, despite the incredible heat. :Head-Spin: Here you go :icecream: celebrate the end of a long process and cool off without the calories. You've earned the concert, should be a blast :Dancing-Chilli: :hug:

Um, Sal, did that little dude get "Bobbit-ized"???:eek:

Gret, sounds like a happy day! I had one of those never-ending projects once and the day I finally shipped the last hard copy, I brought champagne for the whole crew! (Of course, for a month, every time I had a voice mail I was terrified that it was that client wanting "one more variation" in the data!)

Dorrie! Good for you!

I had a strange thing happen last night. I was going to take a nap around 8:00pm to wake when it was cool outside to go to the grocery store. So, like an eedjit, just out of habit, I took all my night pills by accident. That aborts any driving, so I was out like a light at 9:00pm and thought I'd wake around 4:00am and go then. I slept until 7:30! So, it must have been more telling than I thought. Now I'm totally unmotivated to go to the store! LOL. I'll wait for the old people to go out for lunch and head into it midmorning. I'm sooooo glad I quit my job!:Dunno:

OMG!!! Coffee outta the nose for the second time this a.m. Your'e on a roll.

Hey Dorrie! Woohoo! Let's go for Day #2 being a good one too....:)

Gret: Way to go Woman! So glad you got that monkey off your back!
(git offa her AMN!) Seriously, your hard work is done for now. I listened to the video and I was just smiling the whole time. Have a blast at the concert and don't shake your badonkadonk too much. Trace might just pull you up on stage w/him. Now, that would be a shame, wouldn't it?? :Dancing-Chilli: :Dancing-Chilli: :Dancing-Chilli: :Dancing-Chilli:

Woohoo for Greta! I know what she's been going through and she needs a huge celebration and kudos on the grand scale. And a raise and a promotion!

I love the new emo -- Putting that one in my arsenal...that is way cool! I love love love it!! It's better than the delete key!

Finished the job from hell last night. Client's are ecstatic! Even want my sign in their front yard! While we were working yesterday, a neighbor came by and wanted to know if I was the homeowner. No, I am the designer I replied. She is a "builder-owner" and lives just across the street on the other corner. She also does landscaping and told me what a beautiful job I was doing and it really made a different in their yard! Thank you very much!

Very tired!

The study nurse finally called yesterday and I am scheduled to restart the study on August 30th. It's almost like starting over again...I will find the Tovaxin thread and update it! ;)

Way cool, job. So great to get kudos from those who do what you do. I hope there were pats on the back all around and back. :Bow: :You-Rock: :hug:

oops! We spoke tooooo soooon Dorrie! Isn't that just the way it goes?? Ya get a good day and then WHAM~ ya have a rotten one.
Hope you get rested up. take care. :Zzzz:


Way to go Cheryl!!! I know that landscaping is really hard work, so it's nice that you got KUDO's for a job well done. I've seen some pics of your work and it's amazing.

C'mere~~ Let me slap *err I mean PAT* you on the back. :winner_first_h4h:

You Rock FG!! :You-Rock:

I have a visitation for DH's 58 yo cousin later and am dreading going into the funeral home... Just so soon after Mom. But, DH will be w/me and he's my strength to lean on. Take care all!

come on sally, put on your hotpants and lets get our badonkadonks on!


Cheryl - most excellent news my talented friend.

Oh yeah Greta! Congrats on getting the job done! Trace Adkins! (wiping drool off face) Here's what you need to do...Listen up! By a t-shirt and and sleep in it. That way you will be sleeping with Trace Adkins! Huh? Huh? Am I right?

Have fun!:D

Hi everyone. Just popping in to say howdy and then good night. I haven't been in the best of moods today...this heat is getting to me. Puppers was not feeling well either. He finally ate this evening, but just sleep all day.

I hope tomorrow will be better.

Congrats to Cheryl and Greta for jobs well done..:hug:

I hear ya' Sal, the heat is kickin' my butt. I'm supposed to go south:eek: next week and I'm seriously beginning to question it. They're looking at triple digits all week!:thud:

I'm a little sad about it, I probably won't get back down there to fish. I guess I'm kind of a lot sad about it. It looks like the Sept. jaunt is going to be the end of my roadtrip days, it's just getting too hard.:(

I've gone into big cooking mode for the next couple days. I'm filling the freezer back up and my theory has been that it's the same mess, so go for it and make a lot.

My priorities are askew and I have to come to the admission that the wild ride part of my life is ending. It seriously sucketh, I say.

I hear you too, Cindy. What a rotten developement..:( This disease is just so @%*%*@ CRUEL!! I'm so sorry my Friend.

I don't think my Prozac is working very well or maybe it's the crappy heat, but I'm just not a happy camper lately.:( I have always been good at fending this crap off, but my defenses are down.

Enough of my whining. Maybe I'd feel better if we dressed EM in a racoon coat and woolen socks and then let him go south to fish with no bait or hooks.:icon_twisted:

I don't want you Peeps, who are doing well, to think that I am not happy as a lark for you, because I am and mean that. Nothing hurts me more than to hear when you youngsters are succumbing to the wretched disease.:mad: ...Youngsters=50s, 40s, 30s & 20s..:D

I use the word Peeps as my friend from England does. met Kate on BrainTalk. She used to live in Egypt and was married to an Egyptian. Some of you may remember her as BubblePerson. Has anyone seen her lately?

Ok, I'm rambling now so 'll sign off..:Tip-Hat:

:hug: Sally :hug:
So sorry to hear you are struggling for another day. I'm 99.99999% sure it is the wretched heat and humidity.

I lived in OH for 40 years and remember how it sucked the life out of me. :thud: I never had a/c until I got out here, except for the car.

Now with it, I know I couldn't survive without a/c. You pup is uncomfortable too. My families pups eat very little, except treats in the summer back there. Just keep his/her water cold and ice cubes. I used to make beef broth cubes for ours. If felt they'd appeciate the taste. ;)

I second bringing EM out. I'm sure he is not suffering like he should be. Oh, EM, come out come out where ever you are. We have a special treat for you.

There that should bring him out of hiding. Take it easy and stay cool :cool: .
:hug:

Thanks Beth.:) Hearing from you makes me feel better already.

Well, I am plumb tuckered out now and I haven't even finished my cooking. I did manage to get a lot into the freezer which is good. Tomorrow it's multiple meat loaves and my work here is done. I'm so glad I'm not a mom, I think I'd trip a lot (over the unfed corpses).

I'm not sure what came over me except that I needed to do something and the things I need to do are out there in the wicked, evil, heat.:mad:

The early corn is up so I plan on making at least 40 meals of that good stuff!

Sorry, this is even boring me!:o

I met an old friend today! A real old friend! Thought I was gonna cry. :Bawling:

I drive to a Costco, half hour away from me and as I pull in, there is this little white and yellow trailer.:eek:

Wow! That looks just like the trailer we had when I was a kid. I park and get out and walk past the lady sitting in the truck hooked to the trailer and start eying it over. Same color...my dad had painted it this God awful yellow stripes to match his truck. Same windows, same dents, same duct tape marks! It was my beloved friend! The lady is looking out her window wondering what in the blazes is going on. My DH explains and the lady gets out and says "No way, that is cool!" I tell her what the insides look like and she is amazed! Tell her a few of my camping stories (like why I ending up sleeping in the closet :mad: ) and the history of the trailer. I find that the trailer is now loved by a family with two little girls that love the beach!

The lady probably thinks I am weird for I hugged my old friend good-bye with tears in eye.

Ah! Good times! Good times!

I'm back. It was great. I'm in lust. Couldn't find the car when we went to leave. When we finally did, we couldn't actually move, so we were entertained by the ginormous rednecks in the truck next to us doing karaoke. I've never seen such a spectacle.

AMN and Sally, sorry for your general feeling of suckiness. Give it some time. It's hotter than hades right now and that's enough to suck everything out of you and make you cranky. Here's to some cooler weather...

Good news...that is, if the A-hole weatherpeeps are right.:rolleyes: . Today and tomorrow will be HOT!, but by tuesday through the week we will be back in the mid 80s during the day and 50s at night. They're not promising low humidity, but I can hope can't I? :D

Let's all bow our heads in prayer, that cooler, dryer weather prevails for us all. :Help: :wink:

If we get cooler, nicer weather, I may even let EM don his Speedo....let's see if cindy can come up with that horrific image..LOL

I hope all of you are making it through OK or, even better, I hope you are all out partying and don't have time to read this..:D

:hug:

Sally
 

Got my fingers crossed that your cooler temps are quickly approaching. :)
I'm glad that a hint of cooler temps has lifted your spirits, I was worried about you over there.

I'm wishing I was out doing something interesting. I skipped my MS group this morning, and am feeling guilty. It's only once a month, but I didn't want to make the drive,30min one way. Lazy yes :o Plus the car is so hot from sitting in the sun all week.

I'm also pondering, :Ponder: going to throw in a dart tournament. I'm pretty sure, I won't make it to the money but get in some good practice. Although it will only be about 97 today, a bar full of peeps and no a/c is not very appealing. :( I can feel my life force oozing away already.

I should go back to sleep . :Zzzz: I was awake til 5:15 am and up 5 hrs later, SO keeps that room so cold. I wake up shivering. I'll probably do nothing, since I am quite accomplished at that.

:hug:

Not even close my little dotted friend. *getting out old concert shirts to send to Taff..*
err, nope he's RIP... here's one. Nope, gone to the great beyond too.
hmmm. Can I interest you in a Bay City Roller's Tshirt??? Only $25 and never worn!!!:ROTFLMAO:

You can still DREAM, can't ya??? Don't give up yet, Cin.... I think you still have a few good miles on ya. It's just hot and cruel out there right now... Things could change. You will always have a "wandering" spirit. :winky:

Oh, Beth, go throw! You'll have a good time. I remember my days of routine bar visits, a friend and I enjoyed robbing others at pool and shuffleboard. We actually tried to do the "we're not so good at this" thing and it worked some of the time. Unfortunately, we got a bit of a rep in those parts and no one would play us! LOL, those were the days, if only I could remember more about them!:rm_milk:

Gret, cool that you had such a good time! Your truck buddies were probably worth the ticket price alone!:D

Today the weather is so agreeable, I just might get dressed! It's one of those days to get some things done around here and my head and bod seem like they might just be in synch. We'll see.

I've been more indecisive lately than ever in my entire life. I can't seem to get myself to lock down on anything anymore. Oy, for a decision that leads to action, my kingdom!:rolleyes:

That will be my thought for the month and maybe longer. It depends (pardon the pun):D

Just ignore me I'm a tad bit bitchy right now....I feel crappy, I'm tired and I have chills.

:mad: I have a UTI.

I am so tired of UTIs......no, I don't usually get them very often, this is the first one in two years but I have dealt with them since the age of 4......it gets really old after all these years.

So, since I don't have any energy at the moment I have been sleeping most of the day.....just waiting for the Macrobid to kick in.

Backing away from Snoopy. I am sorry. Would you like a nice glass of cranberry juice? :o

Oh, LA, I'm sorry to hear that. Oy, the party just keeps rollin'.:Sigh:

Sorry to hear your'e feeling yucko, Leeann. My DD gets UTI's and she's just plain miserable when they hit....

I'd have AMN make you some chicken soup, but then you'd really be sick!! :eek:

Take care and feel better soooooon!

{{{Snoops}}}}

I am sorry LA! That just isn't fair. I hope it gets cleared up soon.

Not to be a party pooper and one up you, but here's my story for the week! LOL!

I slipped and fell in the shower on Monday and have had a headache since. Decided it might be a good idea to call the doc this morning. He got me in this afternoon and well, you guessed it --

ta da! I have a mild concussion! I hit the marble wall in the shower pretty darn hard and thought I'd split my head open. No visible signs of damage, except for s sore left wrist and a bruise on the side of my left knee! Just call em klutz!

I guess I can add "I do my own stunts" to my signature line.

WHY YOU LITTLE...!

Don't listen to her, LA, she thinks Pizza Hut is the name of a cookbook!

Holy Toledo Cheryl!!!! :Slip: Glad you weren't hurt worse.

A concussion??? Aren't you supposed to be observed or something??

Where's a Peeping Tom when ya need one??? :Hum:
Seriously, that's awful that you fell in the shower. Were you light headed or did you slip??l. Do you have someone who can check on you later or in the morning??? Is your DH home???
Whoever said I was a worrywart was right!!

*pacing and pacing* take care woman!!!! :hug: :hug:

Well, carp. We kinda saw that one coming. So now you have to wear a helmet and cut down on sugar before you take your ritalin?

Geez, gone for awhile and ickies all around :eek: . OK here, just dragging my body around trying to beat the heat. AC is my prisoner here.

Stopped in to say hi, been on vacation for a bit, rested? no. :D
