In those climates with "...but it's a DRY heat..." Do sweat and tears just evaporate as soon as you shed them?

I feel like maybe there should be a poem in there somewhere.
Well...we do have a member that swears by dry heat but posts late poems. Hope your evening is going better? even with the weather there.

That is so sad. I lost one of my oldest neighbors (22 years) a few weeks ago and the rest of us neighbors are waiting with baited breath to see who moves in. So far the 2 newest neighbors have been fairly benign or hermit like . So sad for you!
I miss a couple of my old neighbors. One young guy would play the drums at 3am. Another old guy on oxygen loved to come out and see my tortoise. The drums didn't bother me. I actually enjoyed a young person trying to learn something. The older gentleman would sneak out and we would watch my little guy together. I was aggravated that the guy's family would make him go back inside like he was an escappe. They were welcome to join. But we still had some good times together watching Sapphire have fun.

OMG! I love Mt Dew! I drink a lot of Mt Dew. I have chronic kidney failure, and my Dr. told me the Dew was hurting my dying kidneys and was killing me. So I quit Dew for about 6 months. Thought I was dying of thirst the whole time, I'm back on the Dew now
Hmm Get off that crap. ?

I would have quietly smiled to them... and then in the morning.... back into it and run it over with my CAR! (I did that once) they couldn’t get the big dent out. Serves them right... they see the lanes and yet they overstep . I think it is a test to see if I will say anything.... ??
I didn’t have to..???
Never did see their bins again?? ????
either one the driveway or in the street??
I wonder now how they put their garbage out??? ????????
Sorry I am mean ,but I am like a volcano.. I hold everything in until one day.... I explode!
Stuff some clothes so that it looks like a body And shove a Halloween mask on it and stuff it inside the bin. It’ll give them a freaking heart attack when they open the bin and you can always put a note on and say “howdy neighbors”. People don’t tend to mess with me because I’m more than happy to have a confrontation with them if that’s what they’re looking for. And if I play, I play to win. Ethically and honestly of course, and always sensitive to the needs of others as I am a physician. Hee hee.

Don’t forget to squirt ketchup all over the “body”

When I came out of my coma. I still had my trache in. I couldn't eat or drink anything, feeding tube only. After about a month it was finally removed.
My first drink was diet Mt. Dew. I couldn't wait for it!:)

It’s a dry heat
It can’t be beat
You can’t get wet
If you break a sweat
Have no fear
If your shed a tear
It will dry before you blink
And now I have to go and see my shrink

I am sure you can I’ll tell that I was not an English major for my undergrad.

Hello everyone, been hiding in my corner in this round room.
My doctor was weaning me off the med Lyrica. It's for nerve pain and my phantom pains have returned. The pain sidelined me for a moment. The phantom pains have subsided but not gone but bearable.
Will try to catch up. Looks like you all have been busy. ?

OK what is with you guys and Mountain Dew and diet Mountain Dew? Nasty stuff. Generally speaking I think all soda should be nuked from the planet. Of course I’m totally addicted to coffee, particularly black coffee, and I drink at least 10 cups a day so I probably shouldn’t talk. I just worry about the kidney function for all of you and your hydration status and if anybody has a weight issue both diet and regular soda will increase your weight if you’re not careful as diet will stimulate the brain to believe that it’s getting sugar which will then trigger the pancreas to try to do an insulin release...wait a sec. I’m giving free medical advice which was unsolicited and I apologize and furthermore I expect to be paid for my medical advice so I’m gonna stop right now and quit doing it.

So not trying to be nosy but if he takes you off the pregabalin what are you supposed to take for your pain? It’s non-addictive and relatively harmless...

Oops. My resolution to put buddy in about medical advice lasted all of about 30 seconds. I have to go back to doing charts and maybe that’s why I’m being so nosy and pushy about medical issues because I’ve been doing church the entire weekend and next week I’m on call. Bluck.

Wow. Butting in and CHARTs you moronic spell check. I’d rather spell badly than to keep having it correct my scintillating syntax into stupidity.
