Crazy week so far. On Monday, my husband spotted our neighbor locked out of her apartment out on her patio (the sliding door had gotten stuck behind her). I talked to her, while he helped the firemen find her apartment and get her out using their master key to our building.
Today, we spotted an old women in our parking lot who seemed out of it (it is a heat advisory day around here). Husband had left his phone in the car and went right back out and discovered her still standing there. She was probably very close to heat stroke when he got help and brought her back into our building. One of the same firemen came and helped her (firemen do EMS around here).
To my DH (and those like him), please refrain from your usual complaining about everything when we move our kiddo into college next month. I know you will complain about the traffic, the heat, the road construction, the distance from our designated parking spot to the dorm, the stairs in the dorm, the dorm room, the cost of tuition, the loans, and everything elseâŠ.I know to you that complaining makes you feel better but it makes our kid miserable. The point is this: Please donât make drop off about you! Have empathy, for once, for our kid. Your attitude is what our kid will remember.
Guess my booster worked. Not only did I have a night of headache and body aches ⊠but now I have a rash all over my chest, inner thighs and stomach. I look pretty scary!
I donât want to address any one person or any particular discussion because Iâd surely overlook one thatâs important, so I just want to say thank you. Iâve learned a lot. For the most part, you share differing opinions without being rude or contentious. You share a lot of good advice, insights and links to helpful information.
I live near Gettysburg, Antietam, and more. I really like to think another civil war canât happen, but Iâll admit Iâm just not sure anymore - and thatâs scary. (Some) humans seem incapable of learning from history and are set in their ways âno matter whatâ - enough that we have to repeat it?
Our local fire chief posted this yesterday. What is wrong with people??
âAt 09:17 B-57 and S-54 were dispatched to a possible electrical hazard at the intersection of Gray Road and Mill Road. A cement truck involved. Wires were on the vehicle.

I would like to thank the residents and those passing through the area for your patience with todays closure. We do not take closing a roadway lightly. It is only done for the safety of all those working and driving through the incident.
I would also to like use todayâs incident as a reminder of our safety, we had a close call of two members being severely injured by one of the vehicles incoming to the scene. The vehicle stopped, the driver exited his vehicle to complain about the road being closed and the need to go around the incident. Chief advised him why the roadway was shut down and it was for safety reasons for the public and those working the scene. This person argued for about 5 minutes, then proceeded to get back into his car. At this point he drove around Chief cruiser that was blocking the roadway completely when he came close to running over Lt. After he stopped, he turned around his vehicle almost running over Chief as he sped away from the scene. The vehicle and driver information was passed onto the County Sheriffâs Department and the driver will be summoned.â
I ordered two air conditioning units yesterday explicitly because delivery was guaranteed today. My order confirmation receipt also stated theyâd be delivered today!
This morning I received an email saying theyâll ship in approximately 5 business days. I would have made different choices if Iâd known this was going to be delayed! And per their customer service and Home Depotâs website theyâre still showing that next day delivery is guaranteed - itâs just a âvendorâ problem.
Of course now, itâs too late to get anything delivered for the weekend, itâs past the ordering window. ?*$%!!!
Just getting this of my chestâŠwowwweeee I canât believe how many air conditioning units I saw at Best Buy today when I went to pick up our new Roku!
