COLD DARK ROOM

Glad to hear you're working again. I bet it's a relief, even if it's a pain.

It is, I’m glad to go back but I don’t want to do the actual work.

Understand completely.

Is there any explanation of how all these fires start???

Lightning, careless campers and smokers, using combustion engines in a dry countryside, trees too close to power lines. . .

Question? How do you handle when you meet someone like my wife. Her default reaction is just to go silent and stare. Years ago at work her boss went off on her for no reason and she did just that and when he finished she asked, "Are you finished" when he said yes she walked away. 1 hour later her boss apologized and steered clear of my wife for almost a year until she quit. OMG my wife had no clue what was so creepy/scary about her reaction. After numerous serial killer movies, Documentaries and her new crush Serial Killer Podcasts----- she understands that the other person got scared that she was going through a mental checklist for the perfect crime ?

Well, frankly, I have kicked me some ***, and had my *** kicked. I always carry a weapon. Because of my size, if I feel positive this will end in violence, I hit first, I also carry mace. However, this 75 yr old lady only has fond memories of being little Suzie Badass. I don't get violent much anymore, and nowdays it's over somebody's lack of driving skills and that really does make me see red...lol, in more ways than one...my little red car and I can drive circles around 80% of the driving population...my favorite pastime

@Yvonne G ,my mirror therapy came today. No instructions so I am waiting for a return call from my therapist.
Not sure if I should try and wiggle my amputated fingers and hand or leave them still. I am getting mixed messages on go

Four wheel therapy is the best when two are slipping, chirping or squeeling!

I really hope that it works. Now if only you could get the proper instructions.

I'm hoping our members in Texas and Louisiana are ready for (Major) Hurricane Laura.

Yep, record amount of lightning strikes hit California starting a whole ton of these fires....

News reporting - California fire officials said Saturday that there have been nearly 12,000 lightning strikes in the state since August 15, with over 100 occurring on Friday. Thousands of firefighters are fighting two of the three largest outbreaks of wildfires in history, which were started by the dry lightning strikes.

Very interesting. I hope it works. Strange they don't include any instructions/suggestions. See if my friend Google can help.

You made me go back and read my post, because I was sure that I did not say I wasn't wearing pants. I think if I had not been wearing pants and considering that I was working on a public road, I just might not have been able to get the garden done. I would have been in big trouble. ???

I reread it too thinking what in the world did I miss this time ?

It’s really smokey where I am right now. There‘s fires everywhere, thankfully they aren’t to close to me but the wind carries all that smoke right into the house. I’ll be glad when they’re all gone.

Be alert, and stay safe.

I will be, thanks

I live in Black Forest, we’ve had a lot of fires these past couple of years. We had one hit and got evacuated, our house wasn‘t hit but the fires were very very close to it.

Yes and the poor firemen and citizens dealing with all that smoke. There was an article on our news here that said the firemen can't wear masks because of the type of work it is. Scientists are trying to come up with an easily portable oxygen mask for them in dense areas like that. They have oxygen masks in cities but not forests. The air is very toxic and many of them develop severe health problems later because of it. And what about the citizens they are risking their lives to help?

That’s terrible, I know I have asthma and whenever I go outside now, I get coughing fits and have to go back in. The smoke was so thick a couple days ago that I could see the whole grey fog everywhere.
