Sudokuaholics Anonymous 9A

Good morning Liz and Gail!
Hooray! I just went outside to check on the temp. - it's dropped! Good thing too, as I'd started to stick to my chair ...
Am I hearing thunder out there? Did I feel a couple of drops of rain ...? Fingers crossed!
Oh, and the mail has come and we have a hard rubbish collection coming up - maybe we can get rid of some of the stuff that's cluttering up our garage! :D

Good morning lovely SA people.
Gail,Bean, Lizzy, Judy - hope that cool change comes in quickly. Our temps here are cooler but our humidity is the worst.
To the topsiders - hope a warm change comes in for you, except of course for Vici who still wants more snow. If Tami's around - our morning paper story on the big freeze in US featured a photo of ice covered plants in Florida!
Heidi, MizT and June - hope your ills, aches and pain and coughs disappear and quickly.
Where is Julie? I know she's still recovering from her knee op but she was calling in occasionally - haven't seen her since Christmas. Did she say she was going away?

Sorry to hear about the health problems June, Heidi and MizT.
Doesn't seem like any of us are having ideal weather ... too hot or too cold. Our long range forecast calls for 0 C on Wednesday and possibly +2 for Thursday. Of course we all know how reliable weather reports are.

Good Morning SA9.
Hope you Melbournites are getting some weather relief.
Port Macquarie Forecast Today 31°C
Tonight 21°C Now 27.4°C.
Still battling this sinus infection here and the humid weather is not helping.
Welcome Theresa.

Hi Theresa and Viv!

Viv, sorry about your infection, hope you're over it soon.

Cooler here, but still rather muggy. I've opened all the windows to let the air through the house - feels a lot better.

Hi Judy. Glad it is a bit cooler for you.
I remember those days from when I used to live in Geelong.
At least you can feel the difference.
When we get a cool change here it does not make much difference, the humidity is awful this time of year.

Mmm, maybe I spoke too soon? It seems to be warming up again! Darn!

Good maEn everyone! Listening to the news, FPL (Florida Power & Light) siad they've used more energy this week than they did during the hottest days of summer!!! WOW!! I thought of TTT, and had to laugh, she could NEVER tolerate a winter here!!! WHIMP!!! Just kidding TTT!! Love you anyway!!

Viv: I can relate to the sinus infections! They are miserable! Feel better soon!!

It's about dinnertime, gotta raid the fridge & see what I'm having, Darrell on overtime again this week. TTFN!

Viv, great to see you visiting again. Sending healing vibes your way ♥

Hubby couldn't decide what he wanted for lunch...so we're going out!
Theresa, on SA this is known as 'doing a gail'! When you have been here a while, you will understand why...

Suzanne, I am not a wimp. I am just a Floridian (by choice). I have been in Florida since I am 4 years old and am not accustomed to the cold.
MizT, LOVE!!!!! the baseball story. Started to laugh and the boys wanted to know what was so funny. Did not tell them. Hope the wrist is feeling better soon.
Today was actually the coldest morning. About 35 (1.6 c). I drove Mitchell to school. I have a thermostat in the car. It alternated between 35 and ICE. There was no ice on the windshield but I guess it was warning me of the possibility.

about to shut down the computer. Hope it cools down in Melbourne. Focast for 40*c here today. I went to the Dr. and got some Meds for the cough and also the Swine Flu injection (for Egypt) About to drive to Belinda's in the heat (about 1 1/2 hours) I will miss my airconditioner in the bedroom tonight, although i have not used it for a few days. (The one in the bedroom). I will be back Friday.

It is June, the forecast has been amended from 40C down to 33C. :-)))

Good Afternoon All.
Hope all that are ailing are feeling better.
Welcome Theresa!
Could not post last night, kept on being booted and I didn't say anything naughty. Hope this goes thru.
Back at krow today and it is bedlam, still getting the wobbles...my chair is rocking!

Hi Broni - nothing worse than that first day at krow. Especially when you know it's going to be bedlam even before you get there.

Note to Theresa - there are some words that we spell backwards here because they are necessary activities that we don't like doing.

Think I'll switch to my green frog avatar.

Hi Cyn,
Found out Christmas eve that D&D will not be back for another two weeks, so when I am not here there is only one salesman to handle the calls, customers and warehouse...go figure!

I'll bet he was happy to see you back, Broni!

TTT: Sorry, but UNTIL you come here to visit me during winter, with the boys, I have a right to call you a whimp!! Love you!!

CynB.... I thought "those" words were spelled backwards because we don't like to swear in 'polite' society.

Suzanne.... I have to side with Tami on this one. Her body is acclimated to a warmer temperature. So, 35℉ IS bitter cold. I, personally, could not handle Florida temperatures year around... The heat and humidity would kill me. I think it's easier to bundle up and stay warm than to try to cool off all the time. You can shed just so much clothing, and still remain decent.

Oh Heidi - I'll swear I hate krowesuoh to anyone who'll listen - polite society and all!

By the way, TTT has the NASTY habit of calling me every year on Christmas day to BRAG about walking on the beach as I am braving freezing temps here, does anyone feel sorry for me???????

Heidi: I agree with you on that point for the most part, BUT, putting up with winter from Halloween to (at least one year) Memorial Day for almost 6 years is getting a bit much when my joints ache (from my Cerebral Palsy as a child). That is one of the reasons I can't wait to sell this house & move!!!!

CynB: I agree with you about the krowesuoh for the most part, but it is SO nice when everything is naelc!!!

I couldn't handle those long winters any more myself, Suzanne. That's why I no longer live in Wisconsin. Nine months of winter and 3 months of bad skiing weather (and I don't ski) is too much. At least in Kentucky, winter is short. Basically just January and February, with a little spillover into March.

I wish we could have Spring and Fall most of the time, with ridiculously short Winters and Summers. That's probably why I miss Costa Rica so much. The Central Plateau is 72℉ / 22℃ year around.

There ain't no place in the US with weather like that.

BTW..... My tummy feels MUCH better. No more worshipping false idols.

Heidi: You & I are on the same page with the weather situation, that's why we're thinking of Washington state.

What about all the rain there?

Heidi: Glad your tummy is better. I had a migraine on Thursday last week so I understand!!! It was my day out with Darrell & we cut it short because I was sick. I felt so bad!!!

I must be tired, just got the false idols comment!! Too funny!!

Rain doesn't bother me, SNOW, however, is a totally different situation!! Yuck!!

I lived in Florida for 6 years before I met Darrell, was used to getting caught in the rain!!

I really should feed the dogs now.

I've heard too many stories/jokes about all the rain in Seattle. I think I would like to see the sun more often than they do.

Well, we've been there 3 times, saw very little rain during those trips. Going to sign off for tonite, take care, TTFN!
