Granny's gone and done it again

Morning all. Hoping we all have great days today. I'm stuck in the house for the next week or 2. If it's not 100 degrees everyday the humidity will make it feel like it. I can't wait for December.
I just walked a few miles, and it felt like 101. Ugh. Got back home and it's only 75. :hit

LOL , I will never give myself the chance to like them because I have no intentions of tasting one. Enjoy your walk.
More for MEeeeeeee!!! :wee

I used to think being grumpy was a choice you made and had control of. I couldnt of been further off.
Sometimes it is, sometimes it isn't. I know people who are grumpy out of habit... it's their default setting. You are not that way. It's one of the side effects of chronic pain. That's what I was talking about when I said the pain causes it's own problems. :hugs

I use to think that too. I didn't use to understand depression neither.
:hugs It's hard to manage on your own too, because it works you against yourself. It's good to have outside support.

I think u need to see a counselor to find out the reason for your deep seeded hatered for peaches.
:lau
All those poor rejected peaches can just roll themselves over to my place. I'll take good care of them! :drool

I'm wondering if I'll be able to see any of the eclipse on August 21 in my area? @Wishing4Wings can you answer this for me? Or can anyone else?
hahaha I didn't even know about it. :oops:

So even though I'm not in that path I should still see something anyways? I know it won't be a total eclipse here but I hoping to see a little anyway
Oh sure, it just won't cover the whole sun, so makes it very hard to look at. Even sun glasses aren't enough protection. A welder's mask will work. My uncle burned holes in both his retinas looking at an eclipse through plain sunglasses. He had a blind spot his whole life. There are safe ways to view it. I'll look for a link.

I have a welding helmet. Now if I don't forget about it lol
 
You can get solar viewing glasses or solar filters. I'm sure Amazon has them, but haven't checked the cost.

A really fun thing to do, especially with the kids, is to make a pinhole camera. Basically, put a hole in a piece of cardboard and hold it in front of a flat surface, and you will see a mini shadow version of the eclipse. You can experiment with different sized holes and how far away you have to hold the cardboard from the surface. Look under a tree too... sometimes you can see tons of mini shadows formed by the leaves next to each other.

I'm sure the NASA website will have a web cam for it and I bet your local astronomy club will have viewings. They use the solar filters on their telescopes.
