Won't be long and you'll be turning on the fire place.

Kinda looking forward to it...

 

[punkinduster]

Just checked. 94.8 in the shade...

 

[Drottwiler]

I think my thermometers off it's reading 100.2 in the shade on the front porch. Can't be right.

 

[stretchpants]

I eat those right out of the box sitting in the grrrrocery store parking lot..They are fabulous.

Sitting in the AC eating a Magnum bar. Mondays can be good.

 

[stretchpants]

Lucky You!!! Way not to win...

Back from the Grrr store. Scratched off lottery ticket... Still no maid service for Mrs. Punkin... Looks like I get to keep the job...

 

[stretchpants]

I love this....

A professor stood before his philosophy class and had some items in front of him.

When the class began, wordlessly, he picked up a very large and empty mayonnaise jar and fills it with golf balls.

He then asked the students if the jar was full. They agreed that it was.

The professor then picked up a box of COPYRIGHTDMCA and poured it into the jar. He shook the jar lightly. The COPYRIGHTDMCA rolled into the open areas between the golf balls.

He then asked the students again if the jar was full. They agreed it was.

The professor next picked up a box of sand and poured it into the jar. Of course, the sand filled up everything else.

He asked once more if the jar was full. The students responded with a unanimous “YES”.

The professor then produced two cups of coffee from under the table and poured the entire contents into the jar, effectively filling the empty space between the sand. The students laughed.

“Now,” said the professor, as the laughter subsided, “I want you to recognize that this jar represents your life. The golf balls are the important things - God, family,
children, health, friends, and favorite passions. Things, that if everything else was lost and only they remained, your life would still be full. The COPYRIGHTDMCA are the things that matter like your job, house, and car. The sand is everything else -- the small stuff.” he said.

“If you put the sand into the jar first,” he continued, “There is no room for the COPYRIGHTDMCA or the golf balls. The same goes for life. If you spend all your time and energy on the small stuff, you will never have room for the things that are
important to you...” he told them.

“So... pay attention to the things that are critical to your happiness. Worship with your family. Play with your children. Take your partner out to dinner. Spend time with good friends. There will always be time to clean the house and fix the dripping tap. Take care of the golf balls first -- the things that really matter. Set your priorities. The rest is just sand.”

One of the students raised her hand and inquired what the coffee represented.

The professor smiled and said, “I'm glad you asked. It just goes to show you that no matter how full your life may seem, there's always room for a couple of cups of coffee with a friend.”

The thing about the midwest is if you don't like today's weather stick around. It will be totally different tomorrow...

Forecast for the mid 90s all week here. I'd rather have the rain.... I'm too fat/old for this kinda heat! May as well move to Florida if it is gonna be like this. The Winters sure are nicer! Nay, the Yankee in me says, "stay North young man"... The PA dutchman in me says," suck it up the weather will change in another month or so".

 

[stretchpants]

I do too...Maybe she will drop in sometime..

Were running 10-15 degrees hotter than normal with super high humidity. That's the suckie part. I miss Bliss.

 

[Bamrz]

I survived another Monday! It really wasn't too bad at work. I did forget to bring my plastic foot to put under my kickstand on the bike though. I kept looking out the window to see if it fell over. When it's this hot, the blacktop melts and the kickstand sinks in.

A couple people said I was goofy for riding in this heat. They don't realize I have no A/C in my Jeep, so the bike is actually cooler, as long as I don't have to sit in traffic.

Yay to surviving Monday! Boo to no A/C! Blech. I can see where the bike would be the preferred option.

 

[Bamrz]

Waiting for the heat to drop another degree or 2 so I can go out and cut at least the front yard. I've been losing Xena when I take her out to pee.

 

[MustangSallie]

Our grass got so high during all the rain and heat, our dogs started to refuse to go on the lawn. They preferred the driveway.

 

[Drottwiler]

Sounds like my Abbie (13 in beagle) she likes the patio.

 

[FlyingV]

We're finally back. Long, long drive. And the battle with the new UPS driver continues. Today he delivered ONE of the two boxes I was expecting. Ugh. Mr. V will call UPS in the morning, I can not be trusted to be polite.

 

[FlyingV]

I'm glad you like it! And welcome to the posse!!! *Here's your hat, sit and hang out a spell*

Thanks a bunch, love your e-liquid, people at work follow me around thinking I have food, I think I'm going to need more cards to hand out, have a great day!!!

Seriously?!? Does this guy want to keep his job?

 

[FlyingV]

By the looks of the box he did deliver, I would say no.
