How are you all this morning? Reports abound about overflowing emergency rooms from yesterday's zucchini debacle. I do not understand how this sort of crept up on myself and so many others … Yes, yesterday was National Sneak Some Zucchini Onto Your Neighbors Porch Day!! And those doing the "sneaking" appear to have been met with multitudes of Antizuccineigh (anti-zucchini-neighbors) members armed with clubs. The ACLU has jumped into the fray claiming the rights of the innocent zuchinni to peacefully assemble on folk's front porches may have been violated. and Wyouser appears to have spent too many hours out in the hot sun Happy Friday!!

Good Morning Kids! It got nasty-hot here yesterday (heat index got to 109), and we're expecting more of the same today. My car stalled out on me a few times as I was backing the car up to leave a couple of parking lots, and I'm praying it was only heat-related, and not a sign of bigger problems.

Morning all.
Need to contact my doctor's office as they have not sent in my prescriptions. That was the whole reason for the appointment on Monday.

Morning all. Need to contact my doctor's office as they have not sent in my prescriptions. That was the whole reason for the appointment on Monday. I HATE when that happens. Sorry ners. It just took me a week to get paperwork back from DS's doctor. And, it literally only required a signature.

Hello my frantic Friday peeps! Seems that is what it has been like since I got home today. First rain free day in a week. Got the front and side lawn mowed and trimmed and will finish tomorrow. One load of laundry done. Very quick dinner and then to sit down and do a little freelance for a client who requested an edit.

Good evening.
I'm currently overcoming a cold I got a few days ago. This teaches me to never take a clear nose for granted.

Good Morning gang! Welcome to another Saturday on the summer hits chart! Now, answer me this...….today is National Lazy Day...…...why is Wyouser" up an at em" at 3 am? We also find today celebrates National S'mores Day. So given the current temps around the lower 48 right now, how do you handle the chocolate part of this confection? Do you keep it on ice till it's time to throw it on the marshmallow and graham cracker...…...or do you just tear open the Hershey wrapper and pour it on ? At 98 degrees, chocolate pours really well but is difficult to keep on the marshmallow and cracker.... I mean the little ones end up with a chocolate "ring" around the lips...…..and often a cholate "ring" around the collar….

Now you tell me it is just one day today ?? I think I'm going to cry but that would require to much energy and it is NLD after all so will just skip the crying bit.

Good Morning Kids! Unknown Angelo, do you have some Vicks or Mentholatum? I know grass allergies have been bad around here. Throw in the heat & humidity, and allergies can be brutal. Speaking of nasty weather, we actually hit the 109 heat index again. Enough! That Monday cooldown can't get here fast enough.

Hello my sensational Saturday peeps! Another busy day. I got half the back yard mowed before the rain started. But it may dry out enough later to finish. I'll trim and weed if it doesn't. I stopped at Fresh Market for some chicken wings for lunch and got free take and bake pizza! Such a deal! Dinner is done for tonight (we were going to have fish, but pizza sounds better). A salad and brownies to go with it.

Free pizza is a great dinner! Lawn mowing is done, along with trimming and some weeding. We have a Costco run planned for tomorrow -- possibly a crazy plan, as school starts here on Monday. We will go at opening and work fast. I have to go to the next county north tomorrow to pick up the eye ointment I use for dry eye because it is out of stock everywhere around here. No biggie; I am happy to get some for the rest of the month, at least. My Walgreens gets their stock at the end of August. Planning a bike ride tomorrow and a run Monday. I was going to do that in reverse, but too much traffic, kids and buses on the road Monday could make for a dangerous ride.

Morning Muffins! Wyouser was a little slow! We have had flood warnings almost nightly for over a week. Guess who has been sitting on his hands and got caught in the monsoon last night? I almost needed oars to get home from the golf course last night...….but I don't feel totally bad....DW forgot to roll up her windows on the car and could only watch from the clubhouse window (back in college we had a beetle that could float.....she thinks now our Jetta may be capable of that too)

Good Morning Kids! We hit 110 in the heat index yesterday, and today isn't setting up to be much different. We need some Fall weather, and quick!
My car has been misbehaving a bit, so we're doing t.v. church.

Thanks for brunch NancysSummerSip. Picked up prescriptions with one day to spare. Bluerobin I missed you. I was wondering why you had not posted in few days.

Hello everyone, back from our trip. The weather was not as bad as forecast for that area. I guess other parts of the state got heavy downpours and thunder and lightening. There were Thundershowers every afternoon right around 4pm but that is normal for that area. Friday was slightly overcast but not as cold as expected and no rain until a shower in the evening. I was even able to get Mom down to the lake and we floated for a while. It poured Saturday morning but then cleared up enough we were able to get out some late morning and afternoon. Now to get everything unpacked and catch up on the backlog of laundry.

Evening my peeps. Trying to find a way to get up north in December. A flight up there is not an issue. But I am unable to get a flight home unless I want to spend $800 or more -- one way! My niece graduates college in mid-December. And no matter what day I pick to fly home, everything is sold out. I tried all of their airports and all of mine, using several different airlines. Nothing.

Good evening. I feel better except my throat is still a little sore. I also drove down a 40 mile downgrade mountain which totally caused my ears to have so much pain! As of now, it's better, except my right ear still feels clogged. I'll go buy gum soon.

Good Morning Kids! Glad to see the gang is all here. Hope you're feeling better, Unknown Angelo. And NancysSummerSip, I know it's not ideal, but you COULD drive. (Remember, I drove DD to her internship, although Winter driving isn't ideal.) Of course, you could always travel by train, or Greyhound, too... Sharon, glad you got through the weekend. We got one strong rainstorm last night, and one bolt of lightening hit a little closer than I would've liked. But, no harm done. Some areas had a bit of flooding, but we were fine.

Morning all last day of my long weekend.
Grass has been mowed.
Going to the Red Sox vs Indians game tonight. One of my friends invited me hoping to celebrate my birthday with a Tribe victory.
