Pariah Posted September 3, 2017 Report Share Posted September 3, 2017 You never know what you've got until it's gone--like the swamp cooler. It went down on Thursday. But never fear: they're sending someone to replace it. On Wednesday. Forecast high temperatures between now and then: Sunday: 94°F Monday: 94°F Tuesday: 93°F Wednesday: 95°F (That's 34-35°C for you metric types.) Yes, I know I live in the barren desert, but it's September, for crying out loud. This shouldn't be happening. > cue gratuitous profanity < Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nolgroth Posted September 3, 2017 Report Share Posted September 3, 2017 Same desert, different province. At least it's a dry heat! - Hudson, from Aliens Sorry to hear about your cooler. Our A/C went down on one of those 105+ days and it took most of two days to get it fixed. We resorted to fans, cold showers, and freezing our t-shirts to get through it.

Burrito Boy Posted September 4, 2017 Report Share Posted September 4, 2017 At least it's a dry heat! - Hudson, from Aliens Sorry to hear about your cooler. Our A/C went down on one of those 105+ days and it took most of two days to get it fixed. We resorted to fans, cold showers, and freezing our t-shirts to get through it. It's true about dry heat, though. I'd much rather be here in Nevada where I can handle one hundred degree heat than back in Texas where anything about seventy degrees or higher would make me want to die because of the humidity. In Texas, I had an air conditioner and still couldn't handle summer. Here in Nevada, all I have is a box fan and I don't even use it every day. The only real problem I have here is needing to drink about five hundred gallons of water a day to stay hydrated. Oh, and the chapped lips. I hate that.

Nolgroth Posted September 4, 2017 Report Share Posted September 4, 2017 Cabin fever is starting to kick in. I've tried sleep, video games. watching movies (started like three before turning them all off), and chores. I feel antsy and discontented. I can't even think about developing many of my hanging roleplaying projects. Bah humbug! Burrito Boy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only real problem I have here is needing to drink about five hundred gallons of water a day to stay hydrated. Oh, and the chapped lips. I hate that. I moved from Central Florida to Las Vegas 35 years ago, and I find that I can't really handle heat + humidity well anymore. That said, a dry heat is how raisins are made, and is what is typically found in an oven. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tkdguy Posted September 4, 2017 Report Share Posted September 4, 2017 Cat keeps throwing up every week or so. She's okay for several days, then she starts again. I took her to the vet; her blood tset indicates there's nothing wrong with her, probably just a hairball. But it's a cyclical affair. I don't know what to do.

Old Man Posted September 5, 2017 Report Share Posted September 5, 2017 Shave the cat. More seriously I think there is hairball medication, or prior to that you can make sure your cat has some good grass to eat. My cats always ate grass to get the hairballs out. tkdguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tkdguy Posted September 6, 2017 Report Share Posted September 6, 2017 Thanks. The grass seems like a good idea. The cat refuses to take the hairball medication. She doesn't even like the special food to aid digestion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burrito Boy Posted September 9, 2017 Report Share Posted September 9, 2017 Insomnia causes madness Sleep well! True! nervous, very, very dreadfully nervous I had been and am; but why will you say that I am mad? On a serious note, I'm not surprised. I've dealt with insomnia for most of my life and I'm not all there. Keep your distance. Pariah 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
