I melted last week at the beach. DH gets cabin fever and wanted to go for walks every afternoon. I don't do well in the heat, but walked around for him.

But did you demand to move in exchange?

The humidity is so high here that it

Insurance took care of part of it 2-3
years ago; they now say it is an
"on-going" problem, and not covered
by our insurance. Yuck.

HAHAHA. Nope. I sucked it up and ducked into shops every chance I got. Found a really cute cover up and he bought new sunglasses. LOL
Well, this has been a VERY frustrating morning. I'm so done with ebay at this point! UGH! I bought a purse and when I got it, I wasn't satisfied with it. I contacted the seller and he gave me an address for the return. I took it to the post office, requested a signature because I suspected something wasn't right and sent it on its way . . . or so I thought. The seller contacted me that the item was never returned. I contacted the PO; the lost the package. I contacted the seller and told them. They instructed me to let them know when it was found. Turns out the package was returned to me yesterday (six weeks later) as undeliverable to the address given. I contacted the seller requesting a verification of the address because the package was returned to me and I wanted to get it on its way for the refund. Seller told me the case was closed and there would be no refund. He also accused me of trying to cheat him. I said how? I'm the one paying for shipping and want to return the item. Duh! Case closed. Contacted ebay, they will do nothing because I am the one paying for shipping; not the seller. I asked to speak to a manager and am awaiting a return call from said manager. I seriously don't believe it'll happen. I then contacted PayPal since I used them for the purchase. I am awaiting to hear from them as well. *sigh*
I contacted Code Enforcement today for the umpteenth time over the last five or six weeks regarding the neighbor's yard full of dog sh!t that is stinking up my apartment. Of course he didn't answer so I left another message. Last week, the CE contacted me that he and the police have been "keeping an eye on it" and have yet to find poop in the yard. I said that's funny because the first time I called and you came out I was watching from the window and there were 12 piles in the yard at that time. I have pictures! I'm so tired of constantly smelling dog poop 24 / 7! In this message today, I told him I'd be more than happy to forward daily pictures to him if he'd be willing to share his email addy. What annoys me is that the CE officer told the guy next door who is filing the complaints so now the guy is playing loud music all hours, etc. Of course, he's made friends with most of the cops in town. He's the type who thinks if you really like him and are friends, you won't report his shenanigans!
I took my Minolta 35mm film camera in for repair three weeks ago. They gave me a # to use for text messaging as a way to contact them. Three days ago I asked for an update. Nothing! Two days ago, I texted again! Nothing. Today I called the # and it said it wasn't valid. I looked up the store # and called. They're still looking for parts and have an upgraded body that they will give me for the same flat-rate price of the repair if it can't be repaired. Hmmm
I have to work tonight but only from 4 to 8! Is the day over yet? I wanna go home. Wait, I am home. Boohoo!

I heard back from ebay and they refuse to do anything about the situation. Why? Because I paid for the return shipping and I'm responsible to make sure the PO gets the package there! Um . . . how do I do that when they lost the package. ebay makes no exceptions for extenuating circumstances such as this so buyer beware! I will be deleting my ebay account and never buying or selling from them again when this is all cleared up.
I'm still waiting on PayPal.
Code Enforcement called me back. Had a nice long conversation with him. He insists that even the Chief of Police has gone to the property and seen nothing. I suggested sending CE my pics of the yard and, to my surprise, he agreed and gave me his email addy. The pics over the last three days have been sent.
Does this mean the day is getting better? Any of you who imbibe after work, feel free to have three or four for me, please.
When I buy from Ebay, I never even look at the return policy. I just assume I'm going to keep it, whether I like it or not. Unless it's broken or something. Then, I won't pay for the return shipping, I'll make a claim.

Just talked to the vet. They were headed into surgery. We had seen his partner last week so he just wanted to chat. Fat fat may have more than one kind of cancer going on. We agreed that just getting the mass out of his ear to improve his quality of life was best considering he's 14 years old.
Very large wasp nest on the ground next to my deck. They must have built the nest to the underneath of the deck and it fell recently. They are buzzing all around it. Can't wait for night time. DD and I already have the attack plan in place.

So deed is done for now. I used the hose on the nest and then we doused it with raid. finished off with another douse of water. Will see if tomorrow brings the bees. At some point I have to pick the nest up and dispose of it. I may wait until snow arrives. Snow does have advantages.

How about dousing the inside of a 5 gallon bucket with the wasp killer and putting it over the nest? Then put a heavy rock on top of it and leave it there for days. The heat should turn the wasp killer into deadly gas inside that bucket.
You could even leave it there until the snow comes.

Oh! I have Terminix come out on a regular basis or when I think the mice are getting in. I wonder if this would be a freebie service. Off to call Terminix!
