WHAT MADE YOU GRIMACE & GRIT YOUR TEETH TODAY?

Welcome to the Internet.

Just finding out that people who have sent me email and the email is being returned as spam when I did not flag it that way. Grit teeth, no. Get pissed, yes. Oh, sometimes I just hate the internet.

I've been putting off a job for months and today I've got to get it done.

Tarah, can you give details of your cruise assignments? I am contemplating a cruise and it would be fun to have you perform your poetry!!

Now she's considering a cruise!

Does this woman ever stay home, I ask you? :wink:

Considering, Olga! Never stop considering such things!!

Also considering round-the-world next winter, visiting Oz of course! Your autumn. What do you think?

Now that Oz bit I thoroughly approve of Clary!

Around the world?

Really?

My day just started and today it is life in general. I know it is not always easy, but lately it has been hard. This morning has been extremely hard
making me extremely sad. I know this won't make a whole lot of sense to people because I have not said exactly what is making my life hard. I tend to keep my inner most thoughts to myself because when I have expressed them people can be very cruel and I rather not expose myself to that right now.

tryingtohelp, you and I are so much alike that it makes me feel eerie.

Nothing in particular made me grimace or grit my teeth, just everything in general.

Well I hope you mean that in a good way. I would hate to think I scare someone. You probably do mean it in a good way so actually it is nice to know I am not alone even though it sometimes feels that way. Oh and always feel free to call me tth.

Yes, tth. I meant it in a positive way, because after I read your profile, I realized how much alike we are.

Now it's your turn to feel eerie.

Well I am glad I don't scare you Letty. I come across some of your posts sometimes and have felt almost like I know you. I also try to keep up with WA2K radio. I really enjoy it.

Thanks, tth. You'll have to visit our cyber studio and play a song or two.

Thank you for the invite and I will get back to you on that. That sounds very interesting.

We got a winter storm yesterday. There wasn't a lot of snow, but what we got was mixed with rain and sleet. The result is one big mess. My car wheels sat in 3 inches of ice. I had to chip away at it without popping a tire, which I did <patpat>. Then I had to shovel out..... Not pretty. But, what I am really here to bit## about is drivers, as usual. Drivers here tend to cut other drivers off. Which is obnoxious and dangerous in any weather, but which is insane in the road conditions we are having now. It actually seemed worse today. Driving home from work, with no one directly behind me, I had 2 cars pull out right in front of me, very slowly.

I am just steaming right now for getting "YELLED" at for something I did which was agreed upon by the other party. Even though I reminded them of this. So, after yelling at me this person said I was getting screwed by some others I do things for and I do not charge them. So, if I am getting screwed then this person is also getting screwed is what I was told.
I was told I was too nice.

That pisses me off because I will decide what I charge if I do charge for work I perform. Also, if I want to be nice I am going to. I am not going to stop being nice because I was told to.

btw the work is not sexual or anything like that. It involves paper and my time, boring things.

Days & days of unrelenting heat, that's what's got me grimacing!

Today is destined to be 38 C. That means 100.4 F. Exactly. I know because I consulted this little chart.:

http://www.texloc.com/closet/cl_cel_fah_chart.html

So far we've reached 36 C & it's climbing. Tomorrow is predicted to be 38 again!

So what to do on days like today? Why, draw the blinds, A2K, dressed only in nickers & singlet top .... wash the dishes at "critical error" time .... go outside (for a minute only! Phew!) during the next critical error. Sadly observe my baking garden.
More A2K .... start cooking some lentils for a lentil roast during the next critical error break.
Check on the cat. How is she coping with the heat?
Back to A2K ... Hmmmm the same message from me, repeated THREE times on Roberta's "Petless ..." thread. (Grit & grimace) Sorry, Roberta. Sigh.

Same conditions tomorrow! I'd better get out of the house, early! Then return before things turn really nasty.

Sigh.

Four times, msolga. You missed the last one.

It's about 15 degrees here. That's minus 9 celsius if I read the chart right. I prefer cold to heat. You can always put something else on to get warm, but there's only so much you can take off. You have my sympathy. Hope the feline is keeping cool.

You already told me about 4 Roberta! Do you have to rub it in? You are a cruel, cruel woman sometimes! :wink:

Thank you for your sympathy. I need it!
I honestly think I'm suffering from cabin fever <grit, grimace>.
Had to cancel an outing planned for today because my friend was wilting & I'd suffered a dizzy spell. What fun!

Ms cat is doing fine. How do they stay so cool, calm & collected in those fur coats? It's a mystery to me.

Enjoy your cool weather, Roberta. For once I envy you the cold.

Wine!

That might brighten things up a little!
