Good morning! Not a bad start to the day here. If it would stay like this the rest of the day it would be perfect but the heat and humidity are on the rise. Gonna be another scorcher today.

I have to work but just five hours mid morning to mid afternoon. Didn't get much accomplished for my couple of days off. Just too hot to do much of anything. I have some vaca time I need to use. Not sure what I want to do with it. It's only 25 hours. I guess a day here and a day there except everything is shutting down again so can't do anything. lol

That's it for me. Hope everyone has a great day.

My bank account got hacked again. I think this is the fourth time. Over it.

Forever Sunshine · Guru

Fourth time!!! I'd be changing banks for sure.

TrudyML · Guru

I just sat with my brother. He thinks the problem was a mini mart store I used it in.

FNW · Guru

Could be. My dad used to get gas at a particular station and each time his card was hacked. Found out it was an employee. (Before pay at the pump was a thing).

Got about 3/4 inch of rain last night. The plants are happy.

My essentials are here cleaning.

Lindley · Guru

Good morning! No kids today, will take lunch to a friend and will see what the day brings.

I know what to do_sometimes · Frozen Sucks!

Use credit cards only at convenience stores and gas stations. They are notorious but stealing debit card information.

Getting hot. The morning air was so refreshing. Bummer it has moved away.

That's it for me. Working away.

TrudyML · Guru

Have the worst head cold.

Fort Worth Mom · Mod/Penguin lover/Princess!

Hello from West Des Moines!

Sorry about the bank hack and the head cold, Trudy.

Good morning, all of my pretties!

Paul and I made good time, in spite of heavy traffic through Gary, Indiana. It only added about 15 minutes to our trip, so I won't complain.

We're having a nice visit with Monica and Jack.

Well get up early tomorrow, and head for home.

It's been a great trip. I'm glad we were able to do it.

Catch up with you when we get back to Texas.

I hope everyone has a good day. smile

Dying of Corona!

Get some sun!

Lawyerlady · On the bright side...... Christmas is coming! (Mod)

Copious amounts of Vitamin C and D - and FNW is right - go out and sit in the sun!!!

TrudyML · Guru

I can't the skin cancer that was on my face? My skin is baby skin now.

I need beer!

Cover your face with a paper bag, then!

Nobody Just Nobody · Rib-it! Rrrib-it!

I am home from vacay and have decided to go back. My grown children are in pissy moods and yelling and fighting. I am trying to ignore them. DD called me sobbing at 11:30 last night because she felt a sharp pain in her side. Her DH said it was the baby kicking (she is seven months now) and to shut up and go back to sleep. Instead she web MD'ed her symptoms and decided both she and the baby are dying so she called me. I told her to stay off Web MD and get used to the pain because she was so far along. She told me I was being unsympathetic. Now DS is screaming and yelling about her calling so late and for a non emergency. He's his own ball of freaking issues. I'm so over them.

OTOH, the Bonnie and Clyde museum was absolutely amazing. So much memorabilia. Bonnie was a tiny little thing. I can see why people wouldn't be scared of her when she approached. I can't believe she killed 15 policemen. They were something. We even went to the roadside where they were shot. You can still walk into the trees where the police hid to ambush them. Pretty fascinating. I had fun. Next trip is labor day weekend to meet his family.

TrudyML · Guru

Oh, that does sound cool!

lilyofcourse · My spirit animal is a pink flamingo.

Sounds like fun, NJN.

Sorry, Trudy. Feel better soon.

Safe travels, FWM.

Hey everyone.

I remember my daughter kicking me nonstop on my side around 7 months, it hurt like crazy. I agree about staying off medical website, I threw away a medical booklet by reader’s digest because every symptom I looked up, one of us was always going to die.

Glad you had fun, Bonnie held a gun to my uncles head while he cut clydes hair.

Hope you feel better soon Trudy and maybe a bottle of corona will help. Safe travels fwm and glad you are having a good time.

FNW · Guru

Interesting, Lindley!

Nobody Just Nobody · Rib-it! Rrrib-it!

Fascinating Lindley! By all accounts Bonnie was a mean woman. She'd just as soon shoot you as look at you. BF is a history buff and loves going to places like that. But I really enjoyed it.

TrudyML · Guru

I'd really enjoy that!

Nobody Just Nobody · Rib-it! Rrrib-it!

If you haven't seen The Highwaymen with Kevin Costner you should. It's about the Texas Rangers that eventually killed Bonnie and Clyde. In the movie they showed them shooting up the car. The car in the movie is an exact replica of the real car with matching bullet holes. The car from the movie was at the museum. The real car is in AZ now. It was in CA and sold to the museum in AZ for 1.2 million dollars.

It's dark, hot, humid, and thundering all around us.

I saw the Bonnie and Clyde hideout house on a YouTube video. I liked the layout of it. It was cool to see.

I love historic places, too.

I really want to get to Williamsburg and places like that.

Before they are destroyed by those erasing history.

FNW · Guru

Better hurry, lily.

lilyofcourse · My spirit animal is a pink flamingo.

I know! Right?

FNW · Guru

And Cuomo just added Virginia to their quarantine list so it looks like our trip to the Catskills is off. Dammit.

I know what to do_sometimes · Frozen Sucks!

That sucks FMW.

I just steamed cleaned the family room in the basement as well as the stairs. i figured get it done now while the kids are gone. Sweating...

lilyofcourse · My spirit animal is a pink flamingo.

Right now, while the kids are gone, you need a spa day and a girl's night.

We're now going to Gatlinburg and the Smoky Mountains for our vacay now!

lilyofcourse · My spirit animal is a pink flamingo.

Oh, you'll love Gatlinburg. Don't miss the new Anakeesta. I thinks how it's spelled.

Coming to my neck of the woods! Let me know if i can assist somehow.

FNW · Guru

DE, is there kayaking in the Smokies? I don't see it on the "things to do" list in the park. Just curious. It was something we had planned for the Catskills. I'm trying to get a handle on what kinds of things would be good for us as a family. They do have horseback riding which we all enjoy.

I love that part of the country. It's been years since I've been to TN, and I never made it into the National Park. We're looking forward to it!

FNW · Guru

Lily, Anakeesta looks like fun!

Domestic Engineer · Guru

Not on the Gatlinburg side of the Smokies, but on the other side of the mountain in N.C. Look at the Nantahala River.

Domestic Engineer · Guru

If you like water parks, Dollywoods Splash Country is good fun. DD goes every weekend and says that attendance is way down and that social distancing is not a problem.

For a great steak, go to the Peddler Restaurant.

lilyofcourse · My spirit animal is a pink flamingo.

And stop at the visitor's center, if it's open, and pick up a guide to the outskirts area. There's antiquing, quilting, crafts, all kinds of things.

I think most of the attractions are open.

Take good walking shoes. That's the best way to get around.

Lindley · Guru

I’ve been to gatlinburg a few years ago, nice area

FNW · Guru

Thanks lily & DE!!!!
