Bill Bill Bill, what have I said in the past about this?
Too much information in the wrong place can be very troubling indeed!

Sounds good. But it is too crazy hot to be outside right now.

This chicken has been roasted enough for one day, I had to drive in 109F temps today, twice. Yeah the car a/c is still not fixed, no idea of when that will happen yet.

I know the feeling. At work with no a/c. We have to ventilate all the work areas with clean outside air to stay alert and walking. You don't want to breath some of the chemicals here. The thermometer in my desk drawer was at the century mark indoors. Still sweating my butt off working indoors.

It's much worse if one is about 400 lbs, outside here I just notice the heat, it feels painful, grasping the steering wheel sometimes requires napkins or paper towels. I'm hoping next year to fully fund the replacement of 2 custom sized dual pane vinyl windows, partly thru some savings and with a LIHEAP check(about $660 total for the 2 windows or $317+$343=$660 or $330 per window, the cost might be different today, though I hope not), when I go to bed I have the 20" floor fan on full power pointed right at Me(the fan's 10' away from Me), plus until it's cooler in there than 90F, I'm on top of the sheets, the master bathroom can be almost as high as outside temp wise. The last 3 days were at about 109F outside...

Sat is still on for a Thunderstorm, so far at least.

I noticed recently that without pain pills, My left leg frequently wants to collapse.

Excuse my rant.
You are not getting away with that 400 number. You have not seen me around the middle. My weight is right there with yours. I got my own ouches about my body. I'm just more mobile and just a bit younger 46. I also have had to deal with hot cars. I understand fixed incomes. I know a few people on disability and social security. I have worked my share of low income jobs that don't quite pay the bills. I have helped run a couple of Salvation Army homeless shelters. I feel for you. Hot, tired, hurting and wishing you had more resourses to use.

I hope I did not offend, your rant is ok, and understandable. And no I have not, things happen in life, the perfect body would be impervious to injury, but since that is not currently possible, I'll make do with what is available. All I can do is keep moving forward, maybe one day another lucky break of the good kind will happen, like the one in 2006, or maybe not, only time knows for sure, and it ain't talking.

Not offended. Just letting you know that I know some of what you feel. I just wish there was a magic pill that would knock off a body weight off of my body frame without being harmed in some way.

Me too, My hip joints would like to have less there, but then I have had both become dislocated, as did My right shoulder, just not recently.

Alright then you Auzzie people, what about this here then eh?


You are being conned Celt. The Australian government doesn't have a "Ministry of cultural affairs", thats a Canadian thing. Minister King does not exist and the person talking is obviously a Canadian trying to fake an Ozzie accent. Eh!

My electric bill is up by $21.60, I called SCE and they are sending the medical baseline application to My address this time, last time I asked, the application was going to be sent to the Parks mailing address, the application never arrived according to the manager.

So when will I be able to get the following?

arthritis pills(aleve generic, 400 pills)
2-toilets scrubbers(looks like the tool has a scrubber sponge on one end)

I don't know, everything is tight moneywise.

I got My rent bill today, as I opened the door, Grace decided to run for it, thankfully She has a tail, I grabbed Her tail, Grace did not get out and I did not get scratched, yes Grace did not like that I had Her by the tail, She keeps forgetting that I can move My arms faster than She can run.

The total for electricity this month $120.63, 915kwh, $440.98 total on the bill.

I stopped trying to save any money, for anything, why? Cause I don't have enough to cover everything... At least until maybe Jan 1st, when hopefully I might see some improvement in My situation here.

What else is on the bill if only $120 is electric?

Here you go.

$ 10.35 Natural gas
$120.63 Electric service
$ 15.00 Trash service
$ 30.00 DHMO service
$265.00 space rent
---------
$440.98 6/19/16-7/18/16

I cut back on Seti to 6 hours a night, though it won't show up until next billing cycle. That LC 580 is a hot card.

And temps have been super hot here, 114F anyone?

This coming week is supposed to have Thunderstorms and maybe, RAIN, whatever that is... ;)

The skies are already partly cloudy.

DiHydrogen MonOxide, You drink this stuff all the time.

The $440.98 is about 1/2 of My check too.

I should get some freezer bags so I can cut up some 20lbs of chicken leg quarters, plus get 4 pkgs of shredded cheddar cheese for some macaroni and canned chicken that I have too, both macaroni and chicken are piling up here.

Well, that's cheap. Our water bill here is bi-monthly and it averages around $180 for water consumption, plus sewer fees, and insurance for the water line on our property.

Here there is no real sewer, just 2 septic systems, the water comes from 2 water wells, and during the summer, the water is always as hot as the outside air temp, unless I put some in a pitcher in the refrigerator. Water here is only cool or cold in spring, fall and winter.
