Happy Juneteenth everyone. For those who don’t know, government workers don’t get more and more days off, if they get a new one, they lose an other one so they only get the 10 or 12 yearly holidays they signed up for. > [@purplehorseshoe](#): > > I bought a cooling blanket I love bamboo fabric, it’s environmentally friendly and lasts forever. Plus, it feels like soft, comfy t-shirt material. Sadly, hubs hated the bamboo sheets I bought to use in the summer and thought that the thick linen sheets must be cooler because of the looser weave. Not a hill worth climbing, especially when I’m always cold. Summer has set in for good, currently it’s 85F at 2000. I’m watering everything and hoping that the monsoons will start. The weather guessers are saying this might be another nonsoon which makes me sad. > [@Sahirrnee](#): > > Adam is resting on top of the box the puppy food arrived in batting at Misiu, who is trying to catch his tail. Awwww. What a good kitty, playing with the puppies. As well as teaching them to mind their manners because cats have claws. > [@LH75](#): > > “Well, Ellen, we didn’t make them with our faces.” LOLOLOL!!! > [@Chefguy](#): > > I’m sure they know what they’re doing, right? RIGHT? Yes they do. This is new and scary for you, but for them, it’s just Tuesday. They know what they are doing and you are having routine surgery that they have practices on a whole bunch of other people. All will be well, all will be well, all manner of things will be well. > [@FairyChatMom](#): > > I’d only ever seen him at the school in uniform - he looked soooooo old today, He just lost his job and probably health insurance. Stress ages people. Your signs look wonderful, such careful, meticulous work. How often are you going to have to refinish them? > [@dogbutler](#): > > It’s a Federal holiday, but the one truck I loaded was cubed out with one order. Our UPS driver took a minute to tell me that he’s pretty sure that he will never be able to drive a truck with AC because only trucks bought after the beginning of next year will have AC so the bastids are ordering a new mess of trucks now so they don’t have to spend the money to keep drivers who are working in triple digit heat from passing out from heat stroke. I do wish there was a practical way for us to boycott them, but we don’t have many options out in the sticks. > [@purplehorseshoe](#): > > I’m pissed all over again at that place. I agree with **Nellie** , they fucked you so hard that you didn’t know which way was up and now you have learned that they had fucked you yet another way? Yeah, I’d be pissed too. But, hey, at least they had to pay up AND it cost them lawyer fees as well. > [@purplehorseshoe](#): > > We, ah, I believe old-timers called it “going parking” last Friday and it was entirely pre-arranged As an ex-floozy, I feel obligated to warn you about messing around with the younger than 25 crowd. Experience makes such a difference and you were probably the best time he’s ever had. He’s gonna want more and at that age they fall in love and want to get married and have babbies and live happily ever after. But…wow, the energy and enthusiasm and stamina they bring to the bed is pretty awesome! > [@nelliebly](#): > > Hiya, pals! I’m home!I So happy you had such a good time! > [@missred](#): > > **{{{JtC}}}** Dementia slowly steals away the people we love. Yeah. I remember visiting Dad and him thinking I was a home health aide. It sucked. For some reason, I can’t wrap my mind around the idea that the same thing will happen with Mom. It’s just not fair. > [@nelliebly](#): > > Oh! Also forgot to say, JtC, that son and DIL are starting to get into cheese-making. Yesterday we had some sort of savory soft cheese with mint. It sounds weird but was _delicious_. How fun for them! Cheese making is a very satisfying hobby, I posted my cottage cheese method in the Cafe society a while back. [Playing with milk, or how I make cottage cheese](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/playing-with-milk-or-how-i-make-cottage-cheese/959846) and got responses from others who also enjoyed playing with milk. Soft sweet cheese with mint is very nice. Do warn them that it is possible to put too much garlic in their cream cheese. > [@dogbutler](#): > > Trampoline. Mead just met keyboard. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/old-its-a-warmin-up-again-in-the-mmp/985770)._
