"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Anyway, I guess I'll try to avoid rusty nails.

When I was nine I wondered if that rusty nail would penetrate through the sole of my sneaker. Don't be as curious as I was at nine.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Good tip!

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Wow, so that must mean the DCF2F was 17 years ago.

It was! I remember being terribly disappointed in the quality of the D.C. Cicadapocalypse.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!

Ya'll it is TOO HOT. It's still 72 degrees here, in the middle of the night. Bleck.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

I got my last tetanus shot two years ago, so I'm probably good until 2028. As clumsy as I am, I really try to stay on top of that one.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

It's 73 degrees here at 7 am and I'm miserable. I can't get my bedroom cooler than 72, and that's 4 degrees above my comfort zone.

I'm hot all the time now. Damn hot flashes. I had no idea it was possible to be so hot without actually bursting into flame.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I've been blessed again by a well shaded house. It's 75 here, but my house is still cool. I am already running A/C though. I switched my unit to A/C & Heat about a week ago. I also turned it completely off for a couple of days and had the back door open in the afternoon. Last night it was up to 78 in here before I realized and turned it back on.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

It was so humid I turned the AC on Wednesday evening ... couldn't stand the damp.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

I put my bedroom AC on for a little bit last night to see if it worked, snd also to blow out the dust that's accumulated. Mostly the big box fan in the window was adequate, though.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Finally cooled off overnight, here.
