Just need to talk to my friends (197)

Good afternoon everyone. The weekend is upon us, where has this last week gone?

Our weather is so dang hot. Temp right now is 102, we are in an 'excessive heat warning' until Sunday evening, heat index is 110 and we have a southern breeze of 25 mph! Its truly miserable outside. I opened the door to let the dog out, she walked out about 6 steps, looked back at me and came back inside. I don't blame her. Ugh is all I can say.

We both love fresh sea food, all of it. I'd give anything to be sitting on the coast, watching the waves, waiting for my seafood dinner to come while consuming and ice cold adult beverage. One can dream………

We both had several appointments this week. If they aren't in the morning I cancel them. Too hot to be out. I don't mind heat, I mind melting though.

We are going to play a game. Just wanted to check on everyone.

Be safe and have a relaxing weekend.

Hello All,

I feel sorry for all of you having to deal with the high heat. The hottest it's been here has been 89. That is hot for my area.

David. Happy Birthday to your wife Jeannie, what a nice thing you're doing for her birthday. I miss having someone to share things like that with. My DH did not like going places but my dear friend who passed away 2 years ago always took me out for a birthday dinner.

Iris, I hope Seven is doing better, it is so hard when our fur babies get sick. It sounds like you just need to get a lot of rest sit in a comfy place all day and get your strength back. I think it was a good idea you cancelled your upcoming trip. The last few days I have been dealing with a lot of stress with the selling of my home, (explained below) and the place I find I can relax is in my recliner with Molly on my lap. Thats where I have been most of the day.

Lorita, Iam glad you got your TV fixed, I would sure miss mine, if it broke. At least you figured out how to watch it on a tablet. The TV in my bedroom I also have to use 2 controllers to turn on and change channels and volume. I don't watch it but at times I turn it on for the music channel.

Jo. It was nice hearing from you, I understand how you must be missing all the family gatherings you have had in the past. I miss the ones we all had at my grandparents' house, when I was a kid growing up. Thanks, for asking how my move was going.

The home selling started out really good. Now the buyers are asking for things I was not prepared to do. They wanted me to have a reputable heater company come out and tell them my heater was in good condition. So, I had the same reputable heater company who I have been using for 30 years come out yesterday, it cost me $200.00 for them to tell me my heater is working well. And a copy sent to the realtors. I have a small leak under my kitchen sink I had already planned on having that fixed. The inspector found another small wet spot under the house under the washing mashing. They want me to find out what the problem is and have it fixed. I said No! that may be wrong but Iam getting tired of all this, I'm still trying to find us a place to live, thought we had one and that fell through. Iam in my recliner right now with a glass of wine🍷 trying to unwind before I go to bed.

Hugs to all, Zetta xo

The medication that Seven was prescribed for a UTI is large, so I crush it and add to her food. Apparently it makes the food taste bad, because she is eating only a few bites.

One of my long time friends will have her annual Fourth of July barbeque tomorrow, but I don't think I can go, I am too exhausred. I crashed this evening for three hours, from 6 until 9 pm. Now I won't be able to sleep until very late.

Good morning, I logged on and thought "uh oh, where's Mint?"… but there you are! I know you're usually up about the same time as me so I got a little worried. 😘

@ladyzetta I can appreciate your frustration. Here the buyers typically hire their own home inspector to trouble shoot potential issues. Often there is an agreement that items under a certain amount become the responsibility of the buyer and those over are assigned the seller or the deal is off/renegotiated.

I can appreciate not wanting to spend more, but now that there's obviously an issue of some kind, you may be required to disclose it if you try to sell. Dealing with it now seems to make more sense.

When I sold my parents' home for them, I included a 1-year home warranty as part of the deal. This seemed to relieve buyers that minor issues would be covered that first year. It made the homes more attractive as folks were less put off by older mechanicals.

@Iris I don't envy you pilling a cat. I could usually get the pink amoxicillin suspension in them, but pills were a whole other thing. I did find I could hide them in pureed strain baby food chicken or their Laxatone hairball supplement for my older two but not the one who came after.

For those with heat, be safe out there.

I heard from my bestie this morning. Her surgery went well yesterday. It was a bit less extensive which will ease her recovery. She may go home tomorrow.

Thank YOU. I don't think you know that we have only been married 6 yrs. in August so I guess we are still on our honeymoon.

here…

In Oklahoma the seller must fill out aa disclosure, The buyer pays for an inspection. Then there can be a disclosure on who pays for what. Ask your realator about this.

HOT!!!!!!!!

Ron, how comforting!

Zetta, I purchased a townhouse that I later discovered had a mold problem after a leak. I paid $6000 for mold remediation. Then I discovered that the furnace had been declared condemned by the federal government, and needed to be replaced. I found out later that all the homeowners of the complex had been informed. I tried to sue the seller to take back the property, but I could not. I lost quite a lot of money, also my health was affected by breathing in moldy air for two months.

Lorita, I got a nostalgia flash the other day. I passed a new apartment complex being built, and it reminded me of the new apartment building my family moved to when I was about seven years old. Those were the days!

Seven is not eating her food that has her medication crushed in it. She takes only a few bites, then runs away. I tried giving her baby food and cat food treats, she still rejecting.

good morning everyone

I don’t think we got very much rain yesterday I haven’t checked to see yet. And it was very humid and warm in the afternoon and evening. my new neighbors had an above ground pool put in I may have already told you that. They had company yesterday afternoon and evening, and those children played in that pool laughed and squealed all afternoon and evening. It was so lovely.
The newlyweds came to my sisters house Friday evening and stayed until Saturday evening. I’m guessing they came for my sister’s birthday which is Tuesday. My sister also groomed their dog for them. My sisters become the local dog groomer and barber. I told her she needed to put a barber pole up outside her door. She started out just cutting her families hair now she’s doing some of their friends hair. She finds grooving dogs relaxing. She has three dogs of her own. When the groomer she used retired, she never could find anybody that suited her, so she just started doing it herself. Anyway, we had hoped to play pickle ball yesterday but that did not work out. So I just started cleaning house because we hope to get together on July 4 and so I kind of wanted to get a Headstart on cleaning my house so I didn’t have that to worry about. And then unexpectedly, they invited me to go out to eat with them. That was very nice because it had been a pretty challenging week for me with mom. Then when I got home, I sat on my porch and looked out at my flower garden and those children they were still laughing and squealing. I sat there and chuckled with them a few times.

Good morning, all. It might seem silly to some of you, but its only 94 and that doesn't seem too bad!! I've already watered the garden.

The news had a story that absolutely upset me to no end. They played it at 5:00, 6:00 & 10:00, poor DH each time it set me off on a rant. I don't want to be insensitive here, so I hope no one is offended. The news story is about people forgetting their children / child in the hot car. To me that's the tragic part of the story. But no, the news "suggests" we put something in the backseat we "need" like your phone - then you'll remember your phone and your child. I'm enraged by this - the phone is remembered, not the child. I will be writing the news station about how this story comes off.

Be safe everyone. Our excessive heat order has been extended through Tuesday. Ugh.

Morning. Humid and hot again today. We got just a splatter of rain yesterday.

DH has neurosurgery appointment today and I'm expecting he will need surgery on his neck.

I know this isn't the attitude to have, but these days it seems that it's one thing after another with little or no space to recover from the last thing. I find myself thinking, "Lord, what NOW?". I gotta figure out how to just suck it up and move on. Some days are just too much. And I am having crazy dreams about my late husband and father in law.

When I woke at 3:45 I finally just told them out loud, " y'all need to go on and just rest now." I'm too tired to work all day and then entertain all night. Is that crazy too?

Anyway, hope everyone has a good day. BBL.
