I love the high temps! Bring it! Never had air conditioning as kid and worked outside all the time. My bedroom in the summer as a kid was like a roasting oven and I survived. My wife lived in Houston and Phoenix for a while and bragged how she could "handle the heat". One stretch of 90+ weather the summer after we got married brought the demands for an air conditioner. When I asked how she handled the heat down south, her answer was "with air conditioning, dummy"...

Um...I cut grass all last summer in 110 degree heat...no AC outside, and if we run it in the truck between jobs we lost our lunch on the next lawn

When I was a kid we lived in a billion year old creaky house with cracks at every wall joint ( a crackhouse

)anyway...used to wake up freezing under 4 quilts so cold you could see your breath thick enough to touch it in the air, and had to get up for school wearing a thin gown or PJ's....absolute torture...I hate that kind of cold. Being an old house, the ONE closet...in my parents bedroom across the house

That was such a long darn hallway

Needless to say, I don't like either extreme, but will take the heat gladly over the cold. I know how to strip and jump in the pool

Only so many clothes you can put on and still be able to move though. Heat is the preferrence

I surrender, you win this one!!!

On an entirely different note GOOD NEWS...I'm probably NOT going to jail

I FORGOT my court date Friday!!!

DH got laid off, and everything else in the world just escaped my mind...I completely forgot I had court. I was worried about him

He's okay now, but was pretty upset about it Friday. I called my cousin this morning who works for the County court clerks office, and she got the City Court Clerk to change my court date rather than issue a warrant for failure to appear

Bless her! I have never had a warrant issued against me....and never want to. I likes my freedom

I need to bake her some cookies or something and take to her now

Another random note......DH WILL be able to draw

so some of the pressure is off for a bit.

Yet another random note...He doesn't want me to get a job with the Sherrif's dept.

though I would love to work as a jailer. Good pay, good benefits, INDOORS. He thinks it might be dangerous...but it could not be as dangerous as working in the prison was, less inmates at the jail, less serious offenses too usually. I've been assaulted while working the prison job though and it is always a possibility...but..well I just want back in law enforcement!!! I don't think I'd want to be a traffic cop, but eh...I dunno...just thinking out loud, and thinking of jobs with job security I guess. Definately job security as when things get bad, jails tend to get full of petty theives and such riffraff. Always inmates, just like there is always babies....but I don't want to be a childcare worker...done that too....I like the grown children better

, at least I don't have to wipe their snotty noses

DH doesn't get it.

In our house, these battles are legendary. No quarter asked for, no quarter given at the Wii Resort.

Eldest is best at bowling and table tennis, the middle one at archery sword fighting, the youngest at golf. Dad rules any of the frisbee-based games. I lost to the eldest three bowling games straight by a total of 5 pins. I stink at archery, so that's always a rout. Golf I'm trying but keep losing by a handful of strokes. The kids hang tough for the first few holes of Frisbee golf, but Dad is a rock.

Several "house rules", including you get one mulligan to restart a particular game per evening. DW refuses to play, but she is "spectacting" more and more lately - offering advice, but won't "step up" to the remote.

By the way, it looks like the over/under number on that other thread was OVER +2. "I was there" when it was closed today...
