Wait - Blast - I'm Allergic to sea food.

Can I have an alternate selection?

[CNW 6000]

Hey all, thought I'd stop in and break from the heat between shifts.  It's still 80 degrees at 10:45 PM!  YUCK!  At least I can dip in the pool if it gets too hot.  Anyone up for a late (3 AM CST) BS session tonight or tomorrow night?

Good Saturday morning, everyone!  It's still very muggy and
sticky here.  Think the rain passed right on over us, cause
I never saw any rain yesterday. 

Joe, thanks for putting the coffee on, and making fresh juice
and lemonade.  I've got some tea brewing, and we'll have fresh
iced tea in a little bit.  Both sweetened and unsweetened.

Saturday brunch includes:  bacon, sausage, pancakes, biscuits,
gravy, fried taters, scrambled eggs, grits, and cream of wheat;
along with some fresh cantaloupe and watermelon chunks. 

Joe, got two gallons of lemonade ready for your trip to Lima
today.  And Happy 75th Birthday to your mom, and Happy Birthday
to Danny, also!

Everyone have a great day, and be careful out there, whatever
you have to do today!!

Just stopping by to say hi and have a glass of ice tea.  Outlook here is three days well into the 90's.  My Trains mag arrived yesterday making for some good reading in the cool quiet of the house.

Weather maps say it is hot everywhere, so be careful out there.

Hot enough to fry an egg on the concrete in my driveway here today...already 90F at 11:35 a.m. and climbing.  A very good day to stay inside and try and keep cool (sure hope my 16 year old A/C holds up again this year!).  Also, keep drinking lots of water or natural fruit juice to keep hydrated on days like this.  No adult beverages as the alchohol is not at all good for you on hot days (or any others...personal comment, sorry), and can actually speed your way towards dehydration.  Stay safe and cool as much as possible.

Good afternoon everyone how is we all doin today fine and dandy. Well it's another hot one today it's 1:05 in the afternoon and the temp is up around 95 degeers and it's going to be like this untill about Wed. When a cold front moves in but anywho that's really bout it from this end hope everyone has a good weekend and I will be talkin to you all later.

Just got a phone call from Jim (jhh) a little bit ago.
He had to take Duchess to the vet today.  It seems that
she has a problem with her liver, causing jaundice in
her eyes, and they believe that's why she's not been
able to keep any food down.

She had just finished eating 3/4 can of dog food. 
And thus far, seems to be keeping it down.
The vet told Jim that her liver should rejuvenate it-
self; it's just going to take some time.

Jim asked that we all remember Duchess in our prayers.
After all, she IS his daughter, albeit four legged
variety.  She means as much to him, as an actual child.

[cherokee woman]

Well, it's just about time for our SATURDAY NIGHT
PIZZA FEST.  On the menu tonight:

1.  double cheese
2.  supreme
3.  sausage/pepperoni
4.  pepperoni
5.  goetta
6.  Hawaiian
7.  veggie

As usual, I've made three extra large of each of
the pizzas. So eat all you want.  Any that is left
over, we'll put in the fridge for any late nighters
who come into the DD/CS.

Dibs on one of the #3's...at least part of it.  CW you always make the best!

[CShaveRR]

It got as high as 96.5 at work before I left, and the Bug said it was up to 98 locally.  I was "rescued", though I probably could have survived the bike trip home.  We ate our lunch/dinner in the cool '50s comfort of the Elmhurst Portillo's--had cole slaw with broiled burgers (never had their cole slaw before--it's as good as the chocolate cake, in its own way). 

Tomorrow may be a repeat of today, both in terms of the weather and the rescue.

[blhanel]

No different over here, Carl- 88.2 degrees at 7:43 PM.  We got out and about for a bit today, went and hit a couple of malls.  Managed to time it just right to see a westbound IAIS mixed freight headed out of Coralville with four Geeps leading the way.

I'll take some of #2, please, as usual.

Good Late Evening Folks

Duchess is very sick.  Right now the vet is saying total liver failure.  The count is so high it is off the scale on his machine.  He is more than concerned about her.  She did come home with me and is alert. He gave her a shot, some pills, and a special food for dogs with liver failure.  The next 2 to 5 days will tell us if she lives or not.  He says the liver can heal itself and we are hoping the meds will help it do so.  She is actually eating the special food so there is hope.

You are more than welcome to pray for her and me.  Right now, we need all the help we can get.

 

[CNW 6000]

I'll hit the knees for you folks...sincere hope for recovery from me.

[cherokee woman]

Good Sunday morning, everyone!  Well, it's going to be
another HOT DAY here.  high temp in the 90s, with heat
index right around 100.  You sure can tell the humidity
is up, also, this morning.

Coffee is ready, and juice, iced tea and lemonade are
also freshly made.

On the breakfast bar, you'll find sausage, pancakes, and
some fresh fruit. 

Sunday Dinner will be:  country fried steak w/milk gravy,
mashed taters, peas and carrots. 

In all  this heat, my brain is kind of fried, so will one
or two of you please give me an idea or two for our supper
menu?

Well, it's 10:18 here in beautiful Aurora and already by my winder thermometer it is a balmy 91F and climbing. My intent is for my morning coffee to be the hottest thing I consume today...period. 

To jhh, hope your pooch is doing better today, been there and done that and know it is a real downer for any dog lover like me.  My golden just came in from outside as she is just too hot out there and so would I be if I had to be outside in a fur coat today.

Keep cool and safe folks.

Sorry there's no descriptions currently. Will try my best to get them posted tomorrow. I'll also try to post some shots on the forum here, with a little more detailed trip report.

Until then, hope you all have a great day!

TTFN!

[CShaveRR]

Looks like you got to see the 1989, anyway, Chris!  I like your yard shots.

Party hearty!

(I shall do the same--sister and her family will be getting off the train in five minutes.)

[cherokee woman]

Well, since no one gave me any suggestions (as I asked),
for supper, you can eat what I went ahead and fixed:

tuna melt w/cheddar cheese sauce, peas, carrots, and
strawberry cheese cake for dessert.

[blhanel]

Good late evening, everyone, been a busy day here today and haven't had a chance to check the forum until now.  Sorry to hear about Duchess, Jim- hope she pulls through alright.  We'll add her and you to our prayers.  We certainly had a hot one today, hottest of the summer if I believe my thermometer- it showed 101.5 degrees around 3:30 this afternoon.  Of course, a couple of weeks ago I agreed to grill supper this afternoon for our church small group.

Have a safe flight home, Sarah.
