The lawn was mowed this morning. I am not sure I want to inspect it.

I have Flonased. It does open up the sinuses quickly.

That's great it is helping while you wait for the overall good it can do for your allergies.

I’m having tomato sandwiches for lunch. A friend gave me a loaf of homemade bread and I picked up some tomatoes that taste like tomatoes. Mayo, salt and dill.

The revision is done. The book is back with the editor.

For me, tomato sandwiches go down so fast and smooth that I could probably eat three of them and not feel it.

Does anyone ever make an onion sandwich? I really only knew of that from my mother who once showed me how she made them: Big ol' solid slice of onion (I think we only ever had yellow onions in the house, but I could see using a Vidalia) on generously buttered white bread with salt & pepper.

Very warm.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #70 on:** July 10, 2025, 10:57:02 AM »

Warm here, too, topping off at only 80 or so, but the humidity keeps it feeling thick and yucky.

I fear the South has won.

DR Laura - we have a cushioned runner in our kitchen (are they called fatigue mats?) that helps a lot with sustained standing.

TOD:

I paid $550 for a copy of a very limited privately printed book dealing with a branch of my family - the pharmaceutical Upjohns - that was out of print. I found it on eBay and snatched it up. This was years ago now.

Jrand74 · « **Reply #75 on:** July 10, 2025, 11:32:18 AM »

Interesting DR singdaw.

I hadn't done laundry for about 12 days or so because the dryer heats up the bathroom so much.

But my hamper runneth over - so I broke down and did it all today.

The dryer holds more than the washer, so I did the lights and dried them.....and then did two loads of the darks - put the first load in the dryer but didn't start it until after the second load was washed and inserted as well.....

Jrand74 · « **Reply #77 on:** July 10, 2025, 11:34:28 AM »

Still very warm.

Fascinating!

The Pharmaceutical Upjohns could certainly be a title of a book or play.

I don't think I've paid a fortune (or anything much over list price) for a book or score, but I definitely have a few things that are worth much more now.

One of my better book "holdings" is a huge 3-volume Chinese-American dictionary published early in the last century. We have some Chinese artifacts in the family and it attracted my interest at a library book sale where it was priced at $100. I went home, did a bit of research on it, and decided if it was still there the next day, which was to be their half-price day, I'd buy it. It was, and I did. It flew right under the radar. For my $50 I got what seems to be an exceedingly rare volume, a lessor edition of which was priced at $2K-$3K online, and this was a good 15 years ago. I should check it again.

I thought it seemed pretty warm yesterday. This morning I read that we hit 118 degrees.

My friend put this on his FB page.

At 5:25a.m., it's 96 degrees. I'm skipping my walk today. Too hot.

Incredible.

My new insurance has me frustrated.

That's not good.

I came home yesterday and sat with the heating pad on my back. I can walk for miles, but standing several hours seems to be harder.

I think standing is much harder than walking.

Thank you dear folks. Mrs R had a much better day yesterday. All seems good. Just some jaw pain remains.

I'm glad she is improving. Vibes the jaw pain is gone by tomorrow.

My son and his classmates had such a love for their teacher last year, she agreed to meet up with some of them for ice cream yesterday because she misses them too. I think teacher and kids both know odds are next year can’t be as good as what they had.

This is truly special and sweet.

We also have one. I wish I had one years ago when I spent far more hours in the kitchen.
