Your health is worth a lot more than a utility bill. Turn your AC on, please. We don't recuperate quickly or tolerate severe heat anymore. Please.

Yes, sometimes…. It’s been way hot & humid.
Right now I’m sitting in Crisfield MD on Maryland’s Eastern Shore. Tomorrow we load ppl and kayaks on a boat & set sail to Smith Island for the weekend.
The big storm Elisa comes through later. Already many heavy bands of rain, but no winds.

I of course had to google crisfield just to know. I hope you have a wonderful seafood dinner tonight cause it sounds nice there. I'll be watching for pictures of your trip to Smith island and all the wildlife.?
Hope you have a good weekend Mark and that the weather doesn't spoil your fun.
The end of another pretty uneventful day here for me, not so for Lola though.
Poor tort was attacked by ants this morning when he was grazing, and a few dozen of them swarmed over him within mnutes of his being out.
Thankfully they were black ants which tend not to bite but Lola was looking pretty uncomfortable with them crawling over his head. I brushed most of them off and put him in straight in a soak to remove any from his nooks and crannies.
He made a quick recovery from his nasty experience and has gone on to eat a mountain of food today. It's the first time that's ever happened to him but the nest must have been there for a while so I don't know why the ants were so aggressive today. I'll be checking the grass before he ventures out tomorrow.
Anyway enjoy your evenings and I'll see you tomorrow.

idk why, but the rooftop air conditioners were the thing that stuck out to me most when I went out west.
Stands to reason to put them there. The ductwork is in the attic. Easiest method is from the roof. Quite a few are on the ground too, though.
When were you here? Next time give me a shout out!
She's wrecking my bed spread!
Cats must be cats!!
That's why I didn't go to the hospital when I had covid-19. I'd rather have control of MY life.
You all know how proud I am of "Bob's Shed". I was gone and came hoem, went out to make sure every body was in and flames were coming up from the floor che fell onto plywood floor. Torts are finebut I will need to find homes as i'm out of the tort business...
It looks to me like someone above was watching and used your love and dedication to keep them safe.?
Oh no!! What can I do to help?
Oh no! How heartbreaking Maggie. I’m so sorry!
I AM SOOOO JEALOUS!!!!!
Not only have I wanted to see a real live soccer match..
BUT AT WEMBLY STADIUM!!!!????
That’s where live aid was and queen played twice!!! ?
But back to soccer... my brother played semi pro for a team I’m not sure of the name of.. (I’ll get it) and he is (of all things) .... THE GOALIE !!!! Being he is 6’6” I guess they figured he’d catch everything?
He is gonna ? his pants when I show him this!
I hope you had a GREAT time
And a wonderful day away from work (for a while).
YOU SOOOO DESERVED IT!!! ?
I just watched a “live” broadcast of
The Bahamas vs. Jamaica ... no .... help me out here @Maro2Bear!!!!! Bahamas vs.
(The team with the African American who has white hair? MVP?) ????
I can’t think for I haven’t slept in 48 hrs..
Well it was a very famous for winning all of the time kinda teams anyway...
Sooo glad for this picture!
Jan,
I am sooo sorry for your losses.
That is a terrible story and seems to be the
“Norm” over here in the states.
I bet if you were a doctor or nurses
Child, father, mother etc...
They bend the rules a little...
Some times I feel like such a “number”.
It gets depressing..
Not sure it will ever change though...?
I feel like some things on this earth just ...
Must be done.
Even if ya have ta lie a little.
I don’t feel like a treasure though.?
I feel like I haven’t done enough!?
?
No body and I mean no body should be locked away like this with no way to be reached. I can only imagine what they are doing with her in there?? Probably letting her lay around all day? No exercise, no electrolytes, no CLOTHES!!!
The longer she stays there, the more $$$
For them. ?
Yvonne!!!
Please use that (on the roof) air conditioner!!
At least till it’s normal weather..
At 107 you could have a heat stroke and not even know it...
“They” say, even when you feel fine in weather like that , that you are most likely dehydrated and not even know it!?!?!
If you insist on a fan , please put a bowl of cold ice water BEHIND it and the ice water will act like your window pump.
Trust me it works!
We used to do that in the kitchens I’ve worked in.
Believe me they were relentless with heat.
