Oy, you poor thing. Maybe bring a flask to the meeting? Just an idea!
SB, how is your daughter doing today?
Cloudy and humid here. We got some decent rain yesterday. About 3/4", which was unusual for late July.
Cate is coming down to play.
Spock aka Stinky, scared the hell out of me this morning. It was dark, and she and Huey were out back. I could here Huey knocking and meowing to come in.
When I opened the door, Stinky had climbed to the top of the screen, and jumped down. I did not expect to have a little cat, flying past my head, in the dark! Crazy critter!
Jupiter seems to be feeling better. I guess the bland diet is working.
Our big day is going to the Meat Market. I stock up on meats and keep my freezer full and we just went through it all. I usually buy 10lbs or so of hamburger and then i portion it out into 1lb packages for my freezer and make up a bunch of hamburger patties. I like to buy some chicken breasts and slice them into thin fillets. Makes them easy to bread and cook. Need some steaks. And, I started making my dog her own food so i buy whatever meat is cheap and cook that and add to a big bowl of rice and veggies and that is what i feed her. Usually get some beef livers and other meats.
Went grocery shopping. Just a few things, mostly fresh fruit. Cherries, strawberries, nectarines. So this week they were out of gnocchi, hormel chili w/out beans, and almost out of dishwasher pods (again). But yeast seems to be back in stock. Picked up some pork chops I'll make tonight.
FNW? I'll text GG. He mentioned the perfect gun to carry in a handbag. Update to follow. Forgot the name.
I would advise caution to carry a loaded gun in a handbag. I personally think a loaded gun is best on your body. I think it would be far to easy to forget a gun is in your purse and just set it down somewhere. And, in reality, if someone is robbing you, you can't say, oh wait, i need to pull the gun out of my purse. I am not sure that is really helpful in a lot of situations. And, if someone steals your purse, now they also have your loaded gun. Just something to consider.
I have decided not to leave the board. Why let a few haters run me off and win? Since I came back I have been nothing but nice. Haven't said a cross word to anyone or complained about anyone. I have followed all the board rules. I have done nothing wrong. So I am staying. You can't kick me off for not liking me. And if you really don't like me that much don't read what I have to say. Scroll past me. Ignore me. If you want to read me and just go on the attack that's fine. Not going to argue back. I'm here to stay. At least for now. Deal with it.

I thought we were over "flouncing". Like if Tig takes a break not sure why NJN then has to ANNOUNCE it or whatever. And, now to announce if one is staying or going, I mean post or dont' post. Can we get past all this silly drama?
Checkout that humidity vs chance of precipitation. Can't even sweat out there.
Jewel woke up with a fever this morning. Poor baby. No other real symptoms. I think she's about to get a tooth through.
Good to hear your daughter is doing better.
I agree, carrying on your person makes more sense.
Happy Wednesday.

Tig hasn't gone anywhere. She was here 39 minutes ago. Fake news.
Yeah. She's just watching the show.
If there is anyone I should be totally bothered by, it would be her.
She was a real B word to me on multiple boards.
But I'm at the point in life that I don't want to waste the energy on hate and hatefulness.

Tig is taking a break from posting. Sure she is lurking. And she has that right. People need breaks from time to time. She didn't announce it either. I was told I was Tig and I'm not. Furthermore, people were saying I shouldn't be here unless I grovel at their feet. Just decided to let people know that ain't gonna happen and I'm gonna post anyway.

I think some people get to the point in life where they realize what's important and what's not. I definitely think age has a lot to do with it. I think with age you just get to a point where you no longer care what people think of you. You just live your life the way you want.

No one called you Tig, you are projecting and playing the victim. Again. My insinuation was that Tig sicced you on us. Which she did.
That would require Tig to speak with me prior to coming to the board. Since we don't communicate that would be impossible. Now who is projecting? Your made up scenarios are showing some instabilities.

So if someone needs a break then take a break. Why does it have to be announced all the time? This isnt a job. Nobody is forced to post or read.
I can easily see where people would let a board know they're taking a break so the other members don't worry. When people post together for years, a bond forms (with some) and it's concerning when they're posting habit changes. I've had two members on my board pass while having been active at posting daily. Thankfully, one's son let us know his Mom passed. A member from another board let me know the second one had passed. I'm grateful when posters let the group know they're taking a break.

But Monday, it was this:
Nobody Just Nobody wrote:
I am not Tig. And I haven't talked to her since she messaged me saying she was leaving. I'm also not a victim. I never claimed to be nor did I act like one. I truly did not know that FWM was so bothered by paying for lunch. I will gladly pay her back. Furthermore, I am not going to "repent" to you FWN or grovel at your feet. Don't care if you like it or not. This board had their own faults which I'm sure no one will admit to. I am certainly not the only one who left or the only one who wasn't happy at the time.
Don't bother to make excuses for your lies. I'm not going to bother reading your posts anymore.

Well she just announced she WASN"T leaving. Does that require an announcement? Lol

She comes and goes all the time. Nothing NEW about that. That has been going on for YEARS
HVAC guy is here repairing our A/C. Weren't we just talking this the other day? Well, ours stopped working a few hours ago. But guy is here to replace capacitors! Yay!
When the weather cools off, I think I'll take the panel off and see what kind they are and order a couple. We replaced the pool pump capacitor ourselves we can surely replace these. I watched him through the window. LOL

That's thinking ahead.
I had to laugh at my Mom. She has records, on everything. The year it was installed. By whom. The whole nine yards.
Her A/C, is ala 1999. No kidding!
She really thought, it was going to have to be replaced. And, she has the money, to do it!
I keep records as well. I have an electronic file where I note when I change filters, etc., and save my electronic invoices from companies. It includes all home repairs and service work.
That's where we were going to sleep if I couldn't get anyone out until tomorrow.
When I was a kid we didn't have A/C, I swam in the pool several times a day then at night it would cool off and we could leave our windows open with a fan. But here, it doesn't cool off at night much because of the humidity. And we didn't have basements in Cali.

Oh, I hear you.
I kind of miss, having a basement. (If only for tornado protection.)
No basements in Texas, either.
On the bright side, we have a duel system, for heat and A/C. One for upstairs, and one for down.
We have zoning. And a whole house generator because we lose power often. The only thing it doesn't power is the pool heater which we can live without. It will still power the pool pump.

We had a Generac gas generator put in about 2 yrs ago. Every Friday it does a test cycle. We always joke and say the Neighbor is mowing but it's the generator. Since it was put in we haven't lost power at all! lol Oh well, glad to have it. It doesnt' power the whole house but keeps the refrig on, some lights and heat.

Is zoning different, than two separate systems?
Just wondering...
We have two furnaces, hanging from the rafters in our attic, and two A/C units. Both condensers, sit on the north side of our house.
One for upstairs, and one for down. Two separate units. Two sets of ducts. Two separate themostats. The whole nine yards.
Back when our house was built, in 1996. Anything over 2400 square feet, pretty much required, two systems. In Texas. Well, Fort Worth. LOL!
Yes, zoning is different. One unit, but it directs the air wherever it is needed automatically. Old system we had to go down and move the dampers (or whatever they are called) with the season. So in winter, it's warmer upstairs so the warm air would need to be directed more towards the down stairs. And in summer, it's hotter upstairs so the cooler air would need to be directed more upstairs. With our current system, we have three thermostats and the air goes to whichever zone needs it based on the thermostat settings. I even have a wireless remote thermostat which I keep next to the bed in case I get hot at night.
DD sleeps in the basement family room too in the summer. When I had the ductless a/c installed she said she didn't want it in her bedroom. Fairly certain that was young teen defiance. However the condenser I had installed can handle two more units. I may have that done next year.
When I was a kid we didn't have ac either just the whole house fan in the attic and box style window fans, they were fine. On really hot nights mom would have us sip a bit of OJ, come to find out it had whiskey in it. Apparently she wanted to make us sleep so she didn't have to listen to us whining. Did I mention my parents had a window ac in their bedroom?
