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..

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

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.

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. ...Youngsters=50s, 40s, 30s & 20s..

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..

Sally
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. 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 .

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.

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

Sorry, this is even boring me!

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

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

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 ) 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!

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!!!

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.

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!

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

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!

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