I need to fill up, I'm going to my in-laws tomorrow to start the big trip. But their cooking, well, I'm not used to Russian food and all, and end up either eating nothing for a few days or getting a belly ache. I don't want to be sick when I get to L.A., so I'll fill up on pie right now.

Can't say that I ever tried Russian food.

Not good if it makes you sick. Maybe you should take something along that you can eat instead of going without anything. :-3 Be safe traveling Chonsigirl! :-6

Ahhhhhh Chonsi,

Sneak some snack and fruit with you and tummy relaxers.

Have a great time in LA with grandson and family. Safe journey to you:-4

as Mustang and Kathy said, take something with you, and put it in your luggage.

It must be so hard to live that way, can you fill up on bread or rolls if they serve those?

Have a good trip and enjoy that little man of yours and this time, bring us back some pics.

We bit the bullet and decided to build a deck. Contracts are signed and construction should start in a week or two. :yh_sweat A little nervous.

I'd like to learn the Mexican Spanish since we have so many Mexicans living and working in our area.

Rosetta Stone is too expensive for me now, so I've found a free online site if anyone wishes to learn Spanish.

So far, it looks good, especially since the pronounciations of words are voice activated.

Here's a link....

Yet another hour spent nit combing, I'm just wasting my time, obviously, no other bugger is bothering or she wouldn't be constantly infected with the damn things :-5

Oh Betty,

We had the same problem with one of our 3rd graders. No matter how hard our nurse tried to educate the child's mom about nits, she wouldn't listen. DYFS (Division of youth and family services) had to be called in to check out the home situation.

My class was flipping out about getting nits. So, we discussed the issue and how to prevent getting the nits. Worked out well....no other 3rd grader got the buggers and the child's home is being investigated. Now, the child's family that keeps getting nits, is finally getting help.

It's truly awful to experience this as you know. Kids need to know how to protect themselves....don't share anything...combs, hairbands, headphones, clothes....yada...yada...

Why did my artistic daughter spray this stinky stuff on her paintings right now! I have to go upstairs and open the windows, it's 98 degrees out there, all the cool air will be lost!

What stinky stuff did she spray Chonsi.....

Man, what's going on with this weather. Tomorrow it's supposed to feel like 100F and humidy is high. I'm so sick of the air con on already...yukky...

chonsigirl · Post by **chonsigirl** » Fri Jul 23, 2010 1:43 pm

I think it is some acrylic spray, it is thick in the air even downstairs. My son will be home soon, he has asthma, I hope he runs to his room and shuts the door-the windows are open, and it is heating up now. (ah artists, she was clueless when I asked her not to spray anymore, "Why Mom?" as I fling open the window)

Yuchy weather, worse tomorrow.

Mustang · Post by **Mustang** » Fri Jul 23, 2010 2:26 pm

Sure has been some freaky weather the past few days with fast moving thunderstorms, high winds, hail and power outages. Just had another one this afternoon. Hazy, hot and humid and suppose to be worse tomorrow.

chonsigirl · Post by **chonsigirl** » Fri Jul 23, 2010 2:53 pm

Yes, another record breaker in the heat department.

I shall nap and dream of the beach......

Mustang · Post by **Mustang** » Fri Jul 23, 2010 3:31 pm

Best place to be during temperatures like these are indoors where there is air conditioning.

chonsigirl · Post by **chonsigirl** » Fri Jul 23, 2010 3:35 pm

Yes, I am debating whether to go to TKD sparring tomorrow-they keep it nice and cold in there, but it is going to be so hot outside.

chonsigirl · Post by **chonsigirl** » Fri Jul 23, 2010 3:37 pm

Yes, my one luxury this summer, I got freon for it. (didn't put on the AC for 4 years, I felt hot this year, told my husband I was going to do it!)

It is a hot month this year. I'm glad to hear you got freon and using your air. Much more comfortable communting from one point to another. With the TKD building having air too, you should stay cool enough to participate. Drink penty of water!

chonsigirl · Post by **chonsigirl** » Fri Jul 23, 2010 3:46 pm

Yes, that is me. I'm afraid what it will cost to fix the AC. Maybe the summer school money can go to fix it. I think my husband needs the cool air more than me. I will know in a few weeks-maybe when I come home and his cheeks are pink/red, I know he is snitching food. But I and the doctors are thinking, it's not blood sugar. It could be the heat affecting something else.

My back yard is beautiful with everything green and the flowers blooming. My waterfall I built is babbling & the birds are singing. The problem is that it's 93 degrees and so doggone humid I'd need gills to sit outside and enjoy it!

We took our time finding the right contractor. I'm a little frustrated waiting for them to get the approvals. But don't forget, this is south Texas. We can enjoy that deck a lot later into the year, maybe even Thanksgiving. :-6
