general chitchat july

Hey Mel, good to see you back brightening up this forum. Things are kinda slow today so far.

Just got home from the laundromat and mopped my floors, so time for George!!!!!! Don't know how "bright" I'll be, but I'll try!!!

Gosh Mel Its SAT. don't you sleep in on your day off? Or are you trying to beat the heat?

Lucy, my internal clock goes off every morning at 0 dark 30, 7 days a week! It certainly pisses me off!! The heat is a factor too! Supposed to get into 90s today and 100 tomorrow. I'll be heading to the North Pole real soon. I think Santa needs some seasonal help!

Mel IT was 107 here in Dallas yesterday we've had so many over 100 days this summer we are setting records. By 5:00pm it's almost 90 inside my house and that's with 1 outdoor ac, 2 window units, fans through out house and all blinds and curtains shut!

Lucy, OMG - Sorry about that. Before I got central AC my condo would get that hot too. To survive, I got into a cold shower with all my clothes on. That helped!

Thanks cindigirl, I spend most of the day inside one of the rooms with a window unit it's only in low 70's but as soon as you open the door and walk out it's like stepping into a oven. You have to do everything before 10:00 am or after 8:00pm. can't wait for Oct. Georges movies are coming out and it will be cooler!!!!

Lucy I have a gf who lives in Frisco, TX (north of Dallas). I'm sure she's going through the same thing. It never gets that hot here on the east coast, because we are near to the Atlantic Ocean. Hang in there and think about the cold shower or bath. Don't want you to get heat exhaustion.

wow, that's hot! It's around 80F today here, we have no Ac here. So, I am melting in my apartment , . I can at least enjoy outdoor activities,

off topic: saw Harry Potter, bloody awesome!

Lucy, George and I will pick you up on his bike and we'll all go to the North Pole!

I will send some cool thoughts your way. It is winter here in Oz and it is freezing. Even the carpet gets cold here of a night it has been dropping down to zero and because I live so close to the sea it seems even colder! I prefer it over summer though easier to keep warm then trying to cool off. I do the cold shower thing too usually right before bed.

Take the jet... as bike tires will cause a crash in the north pole.

Oh yes, our own personal jet!! We'll get there faster too so that we can cool down before we "heat up" with George!!!!

Pft, by time you land the ice will be melted from the heat. Not even the north pole stands a chance with all that sexiness!

Well.....it's Summer here in the UK...15..cold....rainy and windy LOL

We're too sexy for our shirts, too sexy!!!!!!

Sorry Katie, off topic again! Mel wouldn't mind seeing George without his shirt, last time was pool pics in Como with bettabuns.

melbert wrote:We're too sexy for our shirts, too sexy!!!!!!

*Starts swinging shirt around in the air* LMAO!

Ok, moving you all into the kitchen. Last one in has to defrost the freezer!

I'm already here!! I don't defrost, as I'm permanently HOT!!!!!

Put your glasses on Melbert!!!!

G should really read this forum. I think he would get many a laugh and really appreciate us. We work so hard giving him advice and trying to straighten him out. He should invite us to Como and we could help him sort out his life.

Since Mel is always hot let's just stand her in front of open freezer and will call it a mel defrosting freezer! Sorry Katie I will take the blame for making you have to move comments to new thread, but it's not all my fault.

You mean my rose-colored glasses Clooney????

LOL.

Melbert you know what they say about women who are permanently hot?MEN-O-PAUSE!!!!!!!!!

Well, yes, there has been quite a pause o' men lately. Why do you think I'm here all the time????

Melbert, even if I all of a sudden became single again after 30 years of marriage, no way I'd want another man in my life other than friends MEN-O-PAUSE!

I know why you're here - the same reason I am. NO pause-o-men.
That would be no fun at all!

BTW I like your new title "Training to be Mrs. Clooney." Now really, you know you don't want that title. You have too much respect for yourself. LOL

I love my independence after all these years, but a few "friends with benefits" would be nice. George???

Cindigirl - Me? Too much respect for myself? Just watch me fall at his feet...

Guess it would take being single for awhile to miss male co. My marriage isn't your traditional we have moved and traveled together, and also lived apart, me with the kids, him with his work! For awhile during our kids school life people actually thought I was a single mom, there's that time when you just have to stop moving the kids and let them settle down in one place. LOL TMI

No A/C??

I saw it yesterday. Loved it! Still sad that it's over though.

I live in an old apartment in Boston. I love old apartments/houses, but then I have to deal with the fact we have no A/C, . Oh well...

It's sad it is over, but I loved it, I think I have to go to Universal in Florida and drink some butter beer!

I heard (I think it was on ET) that the author J.K. Rowling was so impressed with the latest HP film that she's thinking of pursuing the story.

I high five Melbert for this!!

Yes, I would definitely like to fall at his feet. Just wouldn't want to be married to him. Truth be told, if you take their money you have to take their crap. And I wouldn't want to have to hide in an "armoir" during a fight. Just sayin.

I would have not bought our house if it didn't have central air. I hate extreme heat. Yes, it gets hot in Canada.

HP is too much of a money maker to shut it down completely. I heard she may pick up the story when his kids are older.

I'd love to go to Universal to see the HP stuff!!

"And I wouldn't want to have to hide in an "armoir" during a fight. Just sayin."

Oh Cindi, I WOULDN'T be hiding in no stinkin' armoir!!! I will be the one starting the fight, and he'd have to go in to the armoir to retrieve his balls!!!

This general chitchat has awesome comments!

Hi Mel, I hope I didn't sound snarky in my post before. Was in a bad mood, had a bad day. I got in my car and the '"idiot Light" on the dashboard said empty. I drove to the gas station with my heart in my mouth, put in $20 worth of gas (which I couldn't spare) thinking someone drained my tank. Turned the car off and on and it turned out it wasn't empty. I think it was just the heat, 93 degrees, which caused this light to go on. The term "idiot light" is correctly named. Again, I apologize for my statement.

OMG Cindigirl!!!!!! No, no, no, no - you were not being snarky and I didn't read it that way. I was just being a smart-ass!!! No need to apologize!!!

I hate cars! Yes, I have one, and knock on wood, no problems with it, but I had one car with the most idiot idiot light known to man. I hope it's okay and that YOU'RE okay!!!!

Thank for that Mel. No, I"m OK, I have a way of laughing these things off after awhile. "Idiot" also told me I was out of oil and my brakes were failing. I long the the old fashioned car that didn't scare the hell out of you. LOL

Okay, I’m going to tell on myself just this once. I had the same experience where I thought I was out of gas and someone drained my tank. I was even worried if I’d make it to the gas station. Made it there, filled up and headed back home. While driving, I looked down and realized I was looking at the temp gauge. Yep, go ahead, slap my head with a BIG loser L!

Cinderella, no you're NOT a big loser. We all make mistakes like that. I may be the biggest. Let's all make a petition to BAN Idiot Lights. Who's with me?

This member doesn''t have a car, she takes the T everyday

Don't feel bad about check engine lights, have a 2004 Aveo(LEMON) we have put 3 rebuilt engines in the piece of crap! Keep blaming my kids, my son went on some website that gives you all the low down turns out 2 of the biggest problems/customer complaints are electrical dash lights coming on when nothing is wrong or lights not coming on when something is wrong, then the engines going bad! You would be surprized all the info on makes and modles, I will never buy a car again without research.

haha!

We're all had moments like that. Like the time I ran out of gas on my bike in front of a packed patio and had to walk 20 minutes to a gas station. Embarrassing, especially when I came back to hear all the jokes and comments from the drunk patrons.

Oh c'mon sandwiches, I bet they were "flirting" with you. Too bad George wasn't there - he'd give you a ride on his bike and you'd get to put your arms around his waist LOL

Didn't sound that way to me, either!

Sorry, can't help myself but I'm ROTFLMAO on this comment. Thanks for a true belly laugh tonight!
