If only. The 33 year old unit in my condo expired in June. No compressors can be had for love or money around here. Everything needs to be replaced a over three decades, and that is the hold up.
I’m getting sick of the heat. It’s been over 100 for something like 4-5 days straight, with a week above 95 before that. Low temps are 81-83. I looked at my outdoor thermometer last night at 11 pm and it read 91F.
I’ll be really happy when we hit mid-September and the highs finally drop below 90 and it starts raining again.
My mom’s in nursing home. I haven’t seen her since March.
We got the call that she’s dying. The nursing home moved her to a room at the end of the hall near an exit door. This was so my brother and I could see her. All we had to do was fill out the questionnaire and get temperature checks.
I didn’t pass the temperature check. I feel fine and I haven’t been out for months except grocery. One of my motivations for remaining “locked down” was the anticipation of this situation.
It was a little hot in the car when I started it, but it cooled down. And I was in the sun waiting for them to open the side door, but only for a minute or so. But I was 99.3 the first time and 100 the second . My brother was 97.9 so I don’t think it was a bad thermometer.
I checked it again when I got home, I was 98.4. 30 minutes later I was 98.2 then 30 minutes after that I was 97.8 which is about my normal.
I have no freaking idea what’s going on. This sucks.
I live in the same area. Wednesday afternoon I got in my car and when I turned it on, the thermometer said it was 91. I called it a liar. Shortly thereafter, the car decided it was actually 101. I praised my car for being willing to learn from its mistakes. I think the heat is getting to me.
Recently I had a dr appt and they temp checked me twice both times 93.7 f It was hot day but I had ac in the car. It was a 2 min walk across the hot parking lot and I had a mask on. They let me inside but hey calibrate that thing would ya?
Disgustus skin eruptus here more fucking poison ivy on me. I’m blaming the cat(s) they’re the vector bringing it to me, on my legs, under my arm and fuck your face maybe my cheek tooo. No more snuggles for fuzzy tail? 
Dentek canker sore covers - you pat the sore dry, then put one on, it uses your saliva to turn into a heavily mentholy gel cover. Tastes funktastic, slowly dissolves over 4 or 5 hours but seems to really help protect and heal the sore. I freaking adore them [I have a habit of biting my tongue or the inside of my cheek while sleeping, I have bruxism] and I keep them on hand all the time now.

SurrenderDorothy, this is not cranky, petty, or unreasonable. Your friend has let you down when you really need her. You deserve so much better than this. You do not need to be cleaning up after other people, especially people who are capable of cleaning up after themselves.
Maybe she’ll move out if you stop paying for everything. Some people refuse to act like adults until they’re forced to.
After I get off irk tonight, I’ll be hot, tired, sweaty, and extremely irritable. I wish I could go yell at Dot’s Crappy Roommate for her!
I’ve been seeing a lot of posts on Facebook (I know, it’s awful) about a little boy who was killed. His murderer was caught within 24 hours, arrested, and is being held without bail. People are demanding justice for him, but what exactly are they demanding? A faster trial for his killer? Cruel and unusual punishment? The death penalty?
Because it SEEMS like people callously using a child’s death to make some sort of point about BLM, and it disgusts me that I even know these people.
It’s heartbreaking what happened, but what’s the point in using a child’s death to score points?
because that’s all anyone does any more, look for ways they can “prove” their side is better than everyone else.
same reason so many self-proclaimed “Christians” in this country are utterly horrible people. their faith is not about being a better person, it’s about being able to say “I’m better than you.”
The little boy is white, the accused killer is black. They’re basically calling for a lynching.
No, what’s wanted is the same attention that would have resulted if the races were reversed.
If it’s any help, I got an email from Best Buy a few days saying that they’re selling Chromebooks for $100 off for students. You have to sign up for Student Deals or something like that.
As a resident of the state where this occurred…yep, pretty much this. There also seems to be a general feeling that this one murder invalidates the entire BLM movement, and that we will see a lot more of this sort of thing if the police are “defunded.” This sentiment is often followed by posts to the effect that the liberal media is trying to suppress the entire story because it goes against their agenda. 
And how would you measure that…?
I mean, for the TightieWhitieRighties who say they want that, how could anyone point to a case and say “Okay, NOW are people upset enough about the white kid?” “NO! Because I don’t believe they ever would be, because of the lamestream libtards!”
Well Zamar Jones was shot playing outside his house. 7 year old child caught in cross fire. Do you think he’s gotten more attention as a black child? Granted the three men that were exchanging shots were apparently black, but like with Cannon, they were caught fairly quickly. But do you know his name?
Which is better, attention by being used by as pawn, against the family’s wishes, or actual justice?
They want attention for the little boy, but they say it’s justice. What justice is being denied for that child?
I am a census worker and am working in my area which is out in the sticks Arizona. Yesterday, I was looking for a vacant lot and ended up by the site of the new community well. Work has pretty much stopped there while waiting on a new water tank, so not only is this a remote area at the end of a dead end street, nobody except lost census workers has a reason to be there. It’s not even a good place to park and make out.
Except some asshole who left his/her Very Good Dog to wait for them to come back. When I saw VGD, she was laying in the middle of the work yard, no shade, 110 degrees, just waiting. She picked her head up and looked when I drove up, but didn’t seem interested at all, so I left her alone.
I’m not a dog person, so thought that maybe she was supposed to be there to protect the site or something, so I left her there.
At the end of my evening shift I went back and she was still waiting. She really seemed as thought this was all normal, so I left again. She was still on my mind when I went back out this morning, so I went and looked. She was still there, but this time she had moved into the shade and looked very hopeful when I drove up, then she put her head down because she was waiting for someone else.
I just happened to have a paper bowl (I thought I had grabbed 2), a baggie of cat food, a bottle of water and a piece of cheese, so I got out of the car and offered her the cheese. She had her tail between her legs, but came to me and carefully took it from my hand. (Like I said, not a dog person. I have since been told that hand feeding a stray dog probably isn’t the best idea I’ve ever had.)
She looked like she had been sleeping rough and had a collar mark around her neck. She also let me touch her on the head and leaned into an ear rub. When I produced the bowl and water bottle, her body language told me that she knew it was for her, but she didn’t rush me, just sat down and waited for me to put it down, then dove right in. I had to put the cat kibble on the ground, but I figured she would rather have dirty food than no food.
I finally figured out that she had been dumped and called the local animal shelter who sent someone out to get her. I got a call later saying that the VGD was getting sub q fluids for dehydration, but seemed leash and house trained.
So, this was my long windup to say this: to the fucking asshole who left that VERY GOOD DOG to die of heat or coyotes, I hope you end up homeless, on the streets in Phoenix and get mugged and have your clothes stolen after the person you loved stole everything you had, including your ID, but promised to come back really soon. Asshole.
You are an awesome, wonderful person. Thank you so much.
That poor, sad girl 
I’m so glad you found her and went back to check! And fingers crossed she gets a fabulous and loving new home.
What a terribly sad story, but one that seems to be working towards a happy ending. Hopefully she gets a great new home. Thank you so much for looking after Very Good Dog. You’re a Very Good Person!
