Happy Tuesday. Not much going on here........just trying to stay cool. The dew point is high, the humidity is higher and it's just all round miserable. But we're supposed to have a cold front come through tonight which will drop our low to the low 60's, which will be a nice change from the mid to lower 70's we've had lately. And our high tomorrow is only supposed to reach 82, instead of being close to 90. Since I have a doctor's appointment tomorrow, at least I'll be thankful for the cooler air since I absolutely have to go out. But there's not much else going on here. -- Piggy's Pad

Hey Sandy..... I'm with you, just trying to stay cool!! Danny was sick with a tummy bug and stayed home yesterday.... I'm just hoping I don't catch it! We've cooled off a bit... heat index is only around 115 instead of 135... but our humidity and dewpoint is in the 80% range.... so it's miserable muggy here too. I hate it!!!!!!! I'm only able to keep the a/c on about 85-86, and have fans running everywhere, but it's still just miserable!!! I cancelled one of my appts. for today cuz I've got a headache and just feel bleck.... I know it's the heat! Can't wait for Fall!!!!!!! (NT) -- V~, 11:06:02 am, Tue, 07/10/07
So you get those darn heat headaches too, huh? I get 'em and they sure make me miserable. And believe me (and I'm sure YOU know), 85 in the house is ucky warm. Takes away any desire for anything. No food, no love, no sleep. I just want to lay around. So I can't say I blame you for cancelling your appointment for today. I wouldn't go out either. And don't you just love the people who say "But you have fans! Turn them on!" Duh! Fans still only move hot air. I'm so totally with you on this one. I'm too warm, I'm sticky (even with the a/c and the fans going) and I'm cranky. Trying to figure out what to have for dinner is more than I can deal with right now.

Doesn't it just SUCK?! I hate this feeling....... No energy, cranky..... I'm living on cold sandwiches cuz the thought of hot food makes me gag. It's not as bad when it's not so humid.... I HATE HUMIDITY!!!!!!!!!! (NT) -- V~, 11:31:50 am, Tue, 07/10/07
V, I gotta tell ya this one. When Gerry came home, I was in the bathroom brushing my teeth. He came around the corner to say hello and had this S**t-eating grin on his face. I looked at him and asked "Okay, what's going on?" Then he really smiled and said "I've got to agree with Vicki!" and started laughing. I asked him if he meant the humidity and he said no, he was thinking of the cold sandwiches. When it's this hot and humid, we don't eat big meals. Why turn on the oven or the burners and make the kitchen even hotter than it is, especially with the air on? So yeah, we eat a lot of cold sandwiches, salads, anything that doesn't involve heat to make it. But we both liked your analogy of the hot food making you gag. Boy, we can identify with that!!! (grin) (NT) -- Sandy, 6:49:52 pm, Tue, 07/10/07
Yep, salads and cold sandwiches here too! I'm with you....... even tho Danny does all the cooking..... no way is that stove being turned on to add heat to the house!!! (NT) -- V~, 4:58:06 am, Wed, 07/11/07
Have to say I sure hope our heat breaks soon too...Rick is pretty miserable with it, I'm ok..but Josie is pretty sick....She hadn't eat at all today, so tonight after the sun went down we gave her a couple of biscuits (I buy the ones for smaller dogs, anyway...) after we gave them to her, we left for about a half hour..well I wish you could've seen living room when we got home...she started throwing up right infront of my chair, then she must have paced around and kept throwing up..it was all over our living room rug..... (NT) -- Kate, 8:28:51 pm, Tue, 07/10/07
I feel so bad for her....she is resting now, and seems a little better....I am going to put her in her crate for bed tonight....mainly because it's cooler in the basement and I think she'll be more comfortable.....
thankfully Rick and I got most of the mess out of the carpet already..there are a couple of spots I'm going to have to treat again a few more times, but I think it will all come up eventually....I just hope Josie is feeling better tomorrow..I'm glad I'm off..I'll be here most of the day to keep an eye on her..... (NT) -- Kate (again), 8:31:41 pm, Tue, 07/10/07
Oh, Kate! Poor Josie. I hope she's feeling better today and you're able to get the rest of the pukie spots out of the carpet. You've just got to feel sorry for them because it's not like they can shed those fur coats to help stay cool. (NT) -- Sandy, 7:32:24 am, Wed, 07/11/07
Poor Josie, and poor you!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Is it just the heat? Or did she get into rabbit poo again? Hope her tummy is all settled today, and your carpet cleans up easily!!! (NT) -- V~, 11:28:07 am, Wed, 07/11/07
That is kind of what we are thinking/wondering...if she got into rabbit poop and it made her sick..but now we did figure out she is at least associating her food with getting sick and she won't eat her dog food anymore....but like I said above, she did this to us one other time too and we had to change brands for her....Thank you for asking about her !!! (NT) -- Kate, 8:14:08 pm, Wed, 07/11/07
Our heat left this evening. It's 68 right now! Yeah!!!! Was a weird thing how it cooled off in about 3 hours. Hope you all get it too! (NT) -- Denise, 8:32:37 pm, Tue, 07/10/07
It took a little bit longer for it to get to us, Denise, but we did get there. Isn't it wonderful?? I'm going to enjoy it while it lasts. (NT) -- Sandy, 7:44:28 am, Wed, 07/11/07
