Just God's way of making sure you don't get skin cancer I guess. (Better than the 100+ temps in West Virginia accompanied by a week long power failure that my gf's sister just went through.)

I really shouldn't moan. There are people here who have had their homes and businesses flooded out and lost all sorts of precious items that can't be replaced. Some droopy roses are a blip in comparison to that.

I think God gave us the ability to grouse because he knew we would be faced with situations and people over which we have little or no control. So, I'll continue to grouse about the heat and lack of rain and you continue to grouse about the rain. And, I've lost everything except the clothes on my back, our dog, the jewelry on my body and a 1 x1 inch square jewelry box and grousing is good for you. Trust me. Hugs, my dear.

Me and my roomy are soldering on. The house is fully furnished and garnished, we bought an almost new car, the lawn has been refurnished and we got 2-1/2 inches of rain last night. I. have. nothing. to. grouse. about. However, give me a few days and I'll be up to form. You know, whining and crying about something. Hugs.

I should quit moaning - there's loads of people less fortunate - although a good grouse does make you feel better! Love to you too.

you weren't allowed to grouse, especially if it makes you feel better BUT I also think perspective helps you feel better too, at leastit works for me whenever I start feeling down. There's a line in a song I like that says "take all of your so called problems, better put them in quotations". I think it applies to a lot of things that we do blow out of proportion. Or like Salty says (or the wise woman towards the end of Oklahoma) we just keep soldiering on in the face of what life throws at us. The alternative is to lie down and give up and that's too Byronesque for me.Heck, even the characters in Russian novels don't do that and talk about misery...
