I'm tired of cooking/preparing 3 meals a day. It's just the two of us but boy oh boy can that woman eat!! She stays slimish, I get fattish. It's bad enough I do everything here much less start making her one thing and me the other. At times I feel guilty when I buy her fast food cuz of the nutritional value....not to mention I eat it too.
I see. I used to have neighbors that constantly had loud parties after midnight. Once when we reported them we found out half of the neighborhood reported them. Didn’t call 911 though. Just our local police. That house had tons of parties. They never did stop having late night parties. The next weekend they would have another late night party! Police would come out again. Thank God they finally moved.
Oh, one time their son set one of his school test papers on fire in his truck and caught the truck on fire. That time the fire department came out. Thank God the kid was okay. He was afraid to show his dad the he got an F on his test.
Funny! Haven’t heard that one either. Not familiar with Cortana.
I would have laughed though like your sister.
A janitor on campus spotted a man carrying a gun and immediately reported it to the campus police.
The alert went out to everyone to take cover. The news spread throughout the university. My daughter freaked out.
Turns out the man carrying the gun on campus was an undercover cop! Wouldn’t you think in these times of mass shootings that he wouldn’t cause suspicion like that and throw the entire university into panic mode? However, the university cops were on it and did a great job getting the message out that indeed a man with a gun was on campus.
So sad, that students have to be aware at all times because of mass shootings that have occurred in daycares all the way through to universities. Breaks my heart.
I live in Springfield Mo. and we had a man go into our Walmart here and he had guns and over a hundred rounds of ammunition and an off duty fireman held him at gunpoint till the police got there.The "shooter" was a boy,in his 20's.He said he wanted to see if his gun rights were honored just 5 days after the mass shooting in El Paso.He scared everyone in the store so badly.
Just a trip to Walmart.....
Oh my word. That is truly disturbing!
Remember, the term ‘postal’? Post office workers. Now, Walmart killers? Just strange, don’t you think?
All killings, killings in churches freak me out. Movie theaters, schools, concerts, is anywhere truly safe?
Hey, here in New Orleans, killings happen on any random street corner. Not just bad neighborhoods anymore.
We’ve had rapes in the backs of churches. Cameras are placed in some of our churches inside and outside.
Killings at some of our parades. It’s crazy!
Carjackings freak me out too. Some of that is they steal a car to commit a crime like a robbery and then they ditch the car. A cop told me just about every car that is stolen is now found. Cars are not stolen by chop shops anymore because cars are built so differently today, all computerized.
I told Sendme that there are a couple of guys who work out in my gym that give me the creeps. I don't know why. There is just something off about both of them.
I think we are taking a risk every time we step outside but what's the alternative.
Just pray and ask God to be our Rock and Comforter. That's the only way.
DH, as he was at the time, did point out that one thought to take away from this was that in our privileged era death caused by anything among heavily pregnant women is pretty rare in itself, which is good. But all the same.
Tomorrow forecast about 74 degrees, can't wait!
January brings the snow,
Makes your feet and fingers glow.
February's ice and sleet
Freeze the toes right off your feet.
Welcome, March, with wint'ry wind,
Would thou wert not so unkind.
April brings the sweet spring showers,
On and on for hours and hours.
Farmers fear unkindly May,
Frost by night and hail by day.
June just rains and never stops,
Thirty days and spoils the crops.
In July the sun is hot.
Is it shining? - No it's not.
August, cold and dank and wet,
Brings more rain than any yet.
Bleak September's mist and mud,
Is enough to chill the blood.
Then October adds a gale,
Wind and slush and rain and hail.
Dark November brings the fog,
Should not do it to a dog.
Freezing wet December, then...
Bloody January again!
Reprise: January brings the snow,
Makes your feet and fingers glow!
It's not really as bad as all that, but this ditty (tune on YouTube) is fun and a lot easier to remember than "season of mists and mellow fruitfulness blah blah blah" (sorry Keats)
We appreciate them all.
From inside the air conditioned house, that is.
I hate the cold! I prefer the warm weather.
Years ago we didn’t have central air and heat. There were window fans. We survived. I am not familiar with whole house fans. Explain how it works, please.
We had no air conditioners in church or school, nowhere. Nowadays air conditioning is expected. I find people over use air conditioning, if we dress for the heat outdoors, we still have to carry a sweater or jacket for indoors.
I want spring and fall all year long! Hahaha, I’m dreaming. I live in a swamp! New Orleans is a freakin swamp! Long hot, humid summers! Short winters and hardly any spring and fall. Because of the humidity, when it is cold it goes straight to our bones. I hate it!
We don’t get the fall colors in New Orleans. I wish that we did. I loved vacationing in New England during the fall. It’s so beautiful.
I will take the long summer over the long snowy winters up north! Brrrrrrrr, I couldn’t handle that.
About the whole house fan, it's installed in the attic, and works like a powerful vacuum sucking the hot air inside the house and venting it out through the roof, pulling cooler outside air in through the doors and windows. Works best in the late afternoon when outside air is much cooler. It costs a lot less than a conventional AC system. A whole house fan costs about $1500 on average vs. $15,000 for a central air system.
I understand that but she demands me to stay at her side the whole day - and today it was at least five hours watching Netflixlike streaming on her tablet. I feel like my ears are bleeding.
