good idea

1:42 am

sprite

how was your neighbour doing? (don't dare to ask how you are doing, lol)

1:43 am

grannyrose

also, i was thinking about how you could increase your fluid intake. how about icy poles? frozen ice treats, no milk in them, just flavoured water.

1:44 am

sprite

*smug* I drank 2 liters yesterday. Am doing really well in that respect.

1:44 am

grannyrose

1:59 am

sprite

2:00 am

grannyrose

it will be. it's so not what should happen to him.

2:01 am

sprite

no, that is the rotten part. He deserves so much better. I am praying that he will be led to the perfect job for him.

The French Education minister declared that it is too hot to study. Where was this guy when I was in school?
: D

7:42 am

bichon

No school of mine was ever air conditioned

7:43 am

MollyL

My first elementary school (I went to two different ones) had window unit AC right up until the time it closed.

7:44 am

bichon

You have a hotter climate than us. Also, went to school in the 50's and 60's

7:45 am

cherlyq

im 4 6

7:46 am

bichon

Mr. B grew up in Miami with no AC

7:50 am

dcseain

My HS was the first school i attended that was not air conditioned. That shocked me. But where i grew up had year-round school, so AC was installed early.

7:50 am

MollyL

My first elementary school opened in 1933. That explains the lack of central air. It was never renovated much in all the years it was open. It just closed in 2012.

7:51 am

MollyL

My family didn't have central air until we moved in the 70's. The house we lived in before had one window unit.

7:51 am

dcseain

The oldest school i attended opened in 1956. The HS got AC in 1988.

7:52 am

dcseain

our house got central AC in 1983.

7:53 am

cherlyq

i grew up and we had swamp coolers hosed them down when it got to hot

7:55 am

dcseain

nice. those don't work where i live, alas.

7:56 am

cherlyq

half way

7:56 am

dcseain

go, go cherylq!

7:56 am

bichon

swamp coolers are great if you live in a climate that is dry

7:57 am

MollyL

Ha ha ha. I just looked up swamp coolers. "They need a hot, dry environment." Nope, not here in the land of 90% humidity.

7:58 am

bichon

Nevada

7:58 am

cherlyq

the story is my Grampa had worked in garden and got up a good sweat then set directly in front of the swamp cooler and got pnuemonia

7:59 am

cherlyq

we were always told not to sit too close to it lol

7:59 am

bichon

can you really get pneumonia that way?

7:59 am

cherlyq

yeah hot and dry in brownwood Tx

8:00 am

MollyL

I seriously doubt it Bichon.

8:00 am

cherlyq

depends on how much dust was blowing in on the garden that day I think thats more like it

8:01 am

bichon

My mom always told us that you could

8:05 am

MollyL

That is on the list of "6 Things Your Mom Told You That Aren't True"

8:09 am

MollyL

That whole "wait 30 minutes after eating to go swimming thing"? Not true either.

8:13 am

cherlyq

was even taught that in swim classes growing up though

8:14 am

dcseain

by the 80s, when i was learning to swim, we were taught that that was a myth.

8:15 am

cherlyq

yeah I was in swim class in the 60s and 70s lol

8:15 am

MollyL

The other one that "Mom" said that people still believe is that swallowed gum takes 7 years to digest.

SamanthaJoy

I know this dilemma well

2:37 pm

SamanthaJoy

I have eighteen left, I'm hungry, and my favorite nearby Tex-Mex place has just entered that magical hour where their lunch specials and happy hour overlap.

TL;DR SEE Y'ALL LATER!

3:00 pm

MollyL

*Gets the Clorox Bathroom Cleaner and scrub brushes out for Cos. Brush brush, here - scrub scrub there and a couple of lah-dee-dahs, that's how we clean the bathroom today in the Merry Old Land of Cos.

3:03 pm

MollyL

I would like to rearrange my bedroom too but a) moving a king size bed is a bitch and b) it doubles as a storage room for all the stuff that won't fit in this small abode. I usually save that tedious chore for a long weekend.

3:04 pm

cosdem

scrub helga scrub! im not mad at you helga.. im mad at the DIRT

3:12 pm

MollyL

Joan, our dearest mommie.

3:13 pm

cosdem

its such a shame faye has disowned and pretended that movie does not exist. itll be forever what she'll be known for.

3:21 pm

MollyL

She is stuck in my brain as Diana Christensen from Network, screwing William Holden while she talked about network ratings.

3:33 pm

hokie carla

I always think of her as Bonnie Parker.

3:54 pm

MollyL

Okay, a game. Actors/Actresses who are known for one role. Anthony Hopkins/Hannibal Lecter.

Julie Andrews/Maria Von Trapp

That may be a tie with Mary Poppins

4:08 pm

MollyL

It remains to be seen, but I think Bryan Cranston is pretty locked in to Walter White

4:09 pm

Agreed, Molly

4:11 pm

Yul Brenner/King Mongkut - The King and I

4:12 pm

4:13 pm

cosdem

Ill always know Bryan as Hal LastNameUnknown

4:16 pm

MollyL

Shirley MacLaine is best known as Shirley Partridge, but she should be for Marian Pruitt in The Music Man. That woman has one hell of a voice.

4:17 pm

MollyL

Cos, you would really like Breaking Bad. I know the meth thing bothers you. And maybe that is for the best.

4:18 pm

ch1212

I think you meant Shirley Jones, who played the mom in that, and was in Music Man. Shirley McLaine received the Oscar (I think) for Sweet Charity.

4:19 pm

MollyL

Oh shit, yes, I meant Shirley Jones.

6:51 pm

MollyL

Yeah, I left out a letter. I pretty much suck at cluing today. That is why I went back to find the Haz clue.
