Ever just want to tear your hair out, or someone else's? If you cannot restore a sense of balance, you will run away from home? Just want to say some things without the constraints of staying on topic? Well, this thread is for you! If you just need a short break to let it all hang out, be a brat, then come on, you can do it. No holding back! Go for it, you can do it.
I was just too tired to go tonight after chores today
At about 9 pm neighbor texted me saying there was a beeping noise coming from the house - I was at the store
No clue what it was - maybe a low battery on a smoke dectector ?
If it was the smoke detector, if will go off again if the battery is low. Thinking most take a 9 volt battery. Summer heat is a good time to check all batteries, even car batteries.
A notice from the auto club advised to check the car battery before it fails and you need road service in this heat. Understandable-I would not last 10 minutes out in the heat!
But all the same! He's been with me for nearly five years now so you'd have thought he'd have figured out that I *always* come back! Plus I never, ever leave him on his own anywhere except in our house, apart from the Dog Park at the supermarket where there's CCTV and a bowl of water. He never seems to mind that so much, probably because of all the shoppers who stop and make a fuss of him. Maybe what freaks him out most is being anywhere there aren't people.
There is a special technique to train your dog, found on the internet. Poor big baby, he misses you.
Have you tried crate training, a radio with talking instead
of music? Pet that big dog from me, hug him tight.
He gets a big treat to tide him over, he's got his basket, his bed (he likes to swap round), water, his box of toys and his special cuddly toy puppy; and he's confined to the kitchen in case of bathroom accidents (not that there've been any); and sometimes he's fine, but sometimes I get back and find that he's howled himself hoarse. I have to go to my volunteer job this afternoon and it's far, far too hot even to think of taking him in the car. I'll try the radio and cross my fingers.
But he's going to be twelve this year, a bit long in the tooth for new conditioning. Plus, it may not be so much a maladjustment in his training as bitter experience seared on his doggy memory. I've no idea if he was always a worry-wart, though, of course.
I have considered getting a cat to keep him company. But no - no more pets.
He would really like his own cat...🙄
Either that or he's lost his voice... :/
Wash that you on the evening news out on the freeway on your motorcycle kicking a car and causing a multi car pile up?
I know what the words mean. But...
I read it through again, slower and more attentively.
If you have absolutely no idea what they're talking about, and you're none too confident that the reviewer quite knows either - '... the film's peppy pre-teen heroine Izzy appears in the middle of a military sortie: Wahlberg's character asks her what on earth she's doing there, and she replies, with commendable honesty, "I don't know."' - what are the odds of being glad you bought a ticket?
There's always Baywatch
I'm thinking of taking in a movie to escape the heat - John Lithgow in dinner with ... or maybe book of Henry or bossy underpants
I read Alabama Shakes is there
If you've never heard them look up the song, hold on
The lead vocalist sounds like Janis Joplin
Then, saw the water dancing gorilla at the Dallas zoo-
all accesible online.
viewed from my front window, is now 50% contained.
Not much to burn after the fire met up with last year's Sand Fires burned out areas.
Going to have that huge bowl of ice cream now.
Just home from hoca and the house is still too hot so I'll join you in some ice cream
What are you having?
All is right with the world again - ha ha
(love my new word typo) what big bowl meant, so I went back, added a banana. Lol.
It aas sl good! (Also a new word typo), looks Norwegian or
Swedish, yah?
100g butter
550g Demerara sugar
200g golden syrup
350ml double (heavy) cream
1tsp vanilla extract
¼-½ tsp sea salt flakes, according to taste
Using a medium-sized high-sided heavy-based pan, melt the butter, sugar, syrup and cream together, stirring until the sugar has dissolved.
Line a 9-10" square tin with greaseproof or non-stick paper.
Bring your ingredients to a simmer over medium-low heat without stirring. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until it reaches 100ºC, then stir more frequently until you get to soft ball/116ºC - make sure it doesn't catch.
Take off the heat, beat in the vanilla and salt, then continue beating the mixture until it thickens and loses its shine. Pour into the tin and leave it to cool.
After about an hour, mark it into squares then leave it to get cold. Best kept in the fridge after that.
This recipe is evil. Like the plot in The Ring, I think passing it on might be the only way to break free from it.
100 g = 3 1/2 0z. butter by weight
550 g = 19.4 oz. Sugar by weight (need cups)
200 g. (by wt.) = 7 oz. (by liquid volume?) golden syrup
350 ml. = 1 1/2 cups heavy cream (by liquid volume)
1/2 tsp. (or grams) = 1/2 tsp.
100° C (Celsius) = 212° F
116° C = 240° F
I cannot do this....
