What's upsetting you today?

I had the same problem SG, but reading your post made me spontaneously get up and brush my teeth <<<look, all clean now

Oh and I had chicken for lunch and am now drinking pop. So I am doing really meaty burps.

Ever considered the comedic possibilities of a Webcam?

my ex-husband has prostate cancer. Very sucky news.

Bad timing, since he and his second wife just broke up, so he's alone. He called Daughter No. 1 and asked her to come with him to the next dr. appt. This shows how serious it is, but is an added burden on DNo.1, who is basically juggling 3 jobs on top of holiday madness (+ 4 kids and a husband).

We are upset, needless to say, and I'm not sure what my role in this should be, other than caring friend. We are no longer close.

I'm very sorry to hear that Cloud - very sucky indeed.

Automatic vBulletin board messages wishing me a Happy Birthday. So, I've gotten 8 of 'em from various vBbes. They're so impersonal.

No one to thank.

We've had overnight lows in the single digits for the last little while. I'll take the cold over the heat.

Is there any way to keep the car cool while you're away?

Apart from parking in Canada, not much.

There are some things you can do, but they don't add up to much if the only parking spot you can find is in the blazing sun.
Silver coated window shades are very popular - the kind you remove and fold up before driving.
Having a white rather than dark colored car helps a little.
I would never have leather seats for exactly this reason - what WERE you thinking, Ducks? at least get some seat covers.
There are gadgets that can be fitted to an almost closed window that fill the gap and provide a solar powered fan to keep air moving.
All these don't do much though.
The normal procedure is to get to the car, open all doors and wait about two minutes before braving the oven inside.
The heat inside a sun-baked car can reach literally lethal temperatures very quickly. I have seen plastic pens, cassettes, and old vinyl records gone soft and droopy from this heat. It is illegal to leave animals or children in a car on a hot day but still some dumb buggers do it.
