Happy birthday toladycat713 (today) and ozma914 (tomorrow). Have wonderful birthdays both of you!

It's been raining a lot here and it's a good thing. My air conditioning went on the blink on Thursday. I had been baking lasagna in the oven and it felt warm in the house. I shrugged it off since it was a very humid 90 outside. But the lasagna was eaten, the dinner ( Read more... )

Oh, I love the placemat! That is awesome.

We had our A/C go out at the apartment complex a few years ago. It was so freaking hot, and there wasn't anything we could do about it. Most unpleasant.

Isn't it adorable? I just had to buy it.

It was so miserable without a/c. Luckily we have a portable unit to use when the whole house air is down due to storms, so we used that and we could sleep. But during the day at one point it was 94 degrees.

Hee-- you know it's hot when braving Ikea is better than home!

It was in the high 50s and raining here today; I'm a little jealous of your weather. Though they're projecting mid 70s tomorrow-- more normal for us. I don't think I even know anyone around here who has AC!

Me here, neither - if you see what I mean!

Everyone here has A/C and uses it all year long, with the exception of maybe a month. The humidity is so severe that even if they don't have the air on, they probably won't open the windows anyway. LOL

A/C is a necessity down here, right up there with a fridge or a stove. :-)

Seriously, it becomes so hot in the homes down here (that sun is relentless) that someone elderly, ill or infirm could easily succumb to heat exhaustion, and do. The rest of us are just plain miserable.

It's so funny how everything is always greener, isn't it? My son absolutely loves your weather, especially those misty days. Here if it rains, it literally pours and there is always severe lightning, people dash through it. In your world, one can actually stroll in it just like in the movies.

You poor thing! Of course, you had to warm up the house with the oven when the A/C decided to give up the ghost.

I'm sure the cat's will approve of the whimsical artwork!

I kept thinking "it must be the oven." And then I realized that it was 10:30 at night and the oven had been off for hours and it was still 79 degrees in the house.

The Cat Assistants are taking their new placemat in stride- there are little bits of dried food dropped on it right now-but I'm enjoying it.

And how did that apostrophe get in "cats" when you have plural cats, and it isn't possessive? And why don't I see that before I hit post?

(I used to be a proofreader, but you'd never know it!)

LOL! I can write something and read it twice or more and still not see my own errors either.

Oh, I've got the purrfect icon to go with yours.

My guys have one that says "Feed me!".

winsomeone July 14 2009, 11:55:24 UTC

LOL! And that is absolutely the perfect phrase for any cat's table.

I like the placemat!

I seriously wonder how people actually decided to live in the very hot parts of the USA to start with, before air conditioning - how on earth did those women cope in long, high necked, dresses, even if they forsook their corsets in the heat?

I think modern people(me included) are wimps ( ... )
