P.S. It kinda blows my mind that you'd go to Phx voluntarily when it's 112F :ph34r: , unless it's just a pit-stop on the way to Sedona or other cooler spots.

Edit P.P.S. OK, maybe I'm badmouthing it too much. I just didn't have much fun at all in my recent 2yrs there. As long as you're visiting someone whose company you enjoy - well, I guess that's a good enough reason to brave the pounding relentless demon sun.

:lol: I, living in a desert, am in TOTAL agreement with Ptaum. I totally don't understnad why people go to Palm Springs, Phoenix, any desert region in the freakin' summer, of all things. I HATE THE HEAT HATE IT HATE IT HATE IT HATE IT GAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH :ph34r::huh: rant over. :lol:

Just a couple of days ago I read AAA's "Via" magazine, there was some fab hotel in Phoenix (or was it Palm Springs? Have dingo'd it) and I read the article in fascination.........as it reported that this hotel's busiest season was summer. What in hell, I though to myself. well, all guests reportedly spend virtually ALL DAY in the hotel's pool........many families eating all three meals poolside, never leaving.

Um, I'll just stay in my air-conditioned house, thank you veddy much, and travel to these hellholes in the dead o' winter. :lol:

:lol: Editing to fix the date--at first, I typed "1772"! I ain't quite that old :D

:lol: No you ain't!

Am currently experiencing a moment of...........pleasant boredom? Not ennui...........not quite apoplectic boredom.............'tis a new thing. Playful boredom? Contented ennui? :lol: dunno yet........

OMG........This relentless desert heat sounds every bit as bad as the unimaginable stuff DH had to live (and work) through in August and September '04, when hurricanes Jean and Ivan tore a devastating path of destruction across the Cayman Islands, Jamaica and The Bahamas. He flew down and worked through all the insurance claims with a disaster relief organization. There was no electricity anywhere, (no refrigeration or air condidtioning), and sooooooooo tropically humid....August in these islands is easily over 100 F, and the heaviest of tropical air........I don't quite know how he managed.

Still.....I might have enjoyed being invited along....lying on some beach.......

No such luck.

Hopefully next time!

Now it's only 21 days!! I posted that yesterday...I'll have to update it each day as the big countdown ticks away.... :):)

Okay, folks, I have exposed myself. I mean, the cloaking device is off and I am not anonymous. What did you think I meant? :ph34r:

Interesting things are happening in our little world. As you know, we are losing both of our part-time employees. C worked his last shift tonight, and will drop by tomorrow to trade his key for a paycheck. H works her final shift tomorrow morning. We get an evening together and a relaxed morning for what may be the last time in a while. :(

We are interviewing someone tomorrow afternoon who looks good on paper, but knows nothing of our business. It will take weeks to train her, but she would be permanent.

Out of the blue yesterday, we got a resume from a university student. Now, we don't normally hire summer students because it takes too long to train them to get any return on investment before they go back to school. But this guy has had summer jobs in 2005 and 2006 at our store. It was a corporate store then, so we would have to teach him what things we as franchisees do differently. But total training cost would be very low, so a summer hire might make sense in this case. :)

There is an ancient Chinese curse I have been told: "May you live in interesting times." Hmmm.

A "think about this" post is coming. Watch this space. B)

There's not a lotta there there, but you might want to visit Scottsdale's Old Town district and/or Tempe's Mill Ave.

Oh wait .. . .didn't you say you'd like the dry heat? There are good hiking parks all around. Lemme know how much you like heat after that. :lol:<_< (Bring 3x the amount of water you'd expect)

Here's list of other Phx stuff Open Original Shared Link

Thanks!

Nah ... Phx, Scottsdale, Tempe etc all adjacent.

P.S. It kinda blows my mind that you'd go to Phx voluntarily when it's 112F :ph34r: , unless it's just a pit-stop on the way to Sedona or other cooler spots.

Um, NO, I'm going for a Drs appointment. I figured I'd take advantage of being there and see or do something.

He makes me laugh SO HARD that I nearly wet myself last night. :lol: It was when he was imitating me and my purposeful, busy, very fast walk 'round the house, transporting things to and fro............

:lol::lol: This made me giggle, transporting things to and fro.

And what is Annie doing whilst this is happening? Is she laying down with her head on a swivel watching you go to and fro, or is she passed out somewhere else in the house??

No, you both have your clothes on. Get nekked, take and post another pic, and then maybe we can talk about pornography eroticism. :lol:

Must go see this pornographic picture, I always read signed out and then hit reply and it signs me in, so I miss seeing the avatars first....

Tho passionate, I'm sure, a forceful nose-smushing kiss wouldn't be rated beyond PG-13 by even Dana Carvey's ChurchLady.

Yes, the Jack Nicholson method. ;)

I'm checking out another "Music in the (other) Park" .. .. .eh the opener is just a duo. New av anyway ;)

I saw this on another board that I still read, but haven't posted to in years, in the middle of a flame war about legal liability. It struck a chord with me, and I think it will with you. Two posts later a moderator locked the thread. I'm glad it lasted long enough for this to get posted. If you want the link, send me a PM--I don't think it would be a good fit here.

Obituary of the late Common Sense

Today we mourn the passing of a beloved old friend, Common Sense, who has been with us for many years. No one knows for sure how old he was, since his birth records were long ago lost in bureaucratic red tape. He will be remembered as having cultivated such valuable lessons as:

Knowing when to come in out of the rain; why the early bird gets the worm; life isn

      @sillyyak52, If it makes you feel any better, I have a sibling who thinks the dinner table (at fine dining restaurants, and less formal pub grub settings etc.) is a personal buffet table and dips into the food of whoever is sitting beside or opposite to them just to get a taste (no plate is safe!) ... never asks for permission ... and has no consideration of gluten cross contamination even though I've explained it diplomatically with articles, pictures of dermatitis herpetiformis (which I've had for years) like @knitty kitty and I both suggest you do. I avoid that sibling at restaurants now and sit at the opposite end of the table out of arms reach! I've had similar treatment at a recent siblings 60th BBQ with family and friends (brought my own food and burger), where I was told (in a very rude manner) "tough luck, there's nowhere safe ... just cook your burger on the BBQ" which was cross contaminated ... I stood my ground and asked for a clean frying pan to cook my burger safely and separately.

      knitty kitty makes a good point. Avocados are high in histamines. So are bananas. Both also trigger histamine production in the body when consumed so there's a double whammy with those two foods for those struggling with histamine intolerance/MCAS

      @Sharke, The updated guidelines for a gluten challenge are to eat ten grams of gluten per day for two weeks minimum.  Lesser amounts of gluten (3 grams) don't provoke an immune response strong enough that the antibodies leave the gastrointestinal tract and get into the blood where they can be measured in tTg blood tests.   Have no doubt that the antibodies made in the small intestine are doing damage there, even if you don't suffer severe symptoms, yet. Did you react to barley prior to going gluten free? Have you been checked for chronic autoimmune gastritis which is another autoimmune disease that sometimes occurs with Celiac Disease? Have you been checked for nutritional deficiencies?  Thiamine deficiency (Gastrointestinal Beriberi) can cause constipation and/or diarrhea, abdominal pain, and weight loss.   Thiamine Deficiency Disorders https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8451766/

      @sillyyak52, Count another one in the same boat!  My family has always been in denial.  They said my tummy aches were a ploy to miss school.  My parents passed from health problems associated with uncontrolled Celiac Disease (Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm and Glioblastoma brain tumor).  My sister still has her head buried in the sand.   I agree with @Rogol72, try the consequences of untreated celiac disease shock treatment.  Sometimes people are just scared of having to change their comfortable lifestyle.
