The one on my car is always HOTTER than the actual temperature, as are the ones on the banks by us, and the one on my phone seems to be a little cooler than what it feels like. Also, it told us it was supposed to rain all day today and it's sunny and over 80 degrees. So I guess I DO have to mow, which I offered yesterday thinking it was going to rain, d'oh!<br />Thanks for your thoughts. Good luck to your friend! It's probably not very comforting, but being involved w/the Breast Cancer 3-Day, I can tell you treatment is a LOT better now than it was even 10 years ago.

Who knows? But he does need to learn consequences, that has always been a struggle with ADD minds, they have to LEARN to think ahead, and he hates doing it. And you're right about the eating, he'll go days without eating if not reminded. But at least he works in a restaurant, even if it's McDeath, at least it will keep him alive. <br />Thanks for reading, our vacation was wonderful!

I'm so sorry for your loss though Joy - she sounds like a wonderful woman and somebody who we can all learn from. <br />We, too, spend way too much time at Home Depot and my son LOVES to play in all of the sharp stuff and I've gotten totally fine with it. Here's to your husband's shiny new pipe (hehe). And I'm glad for you and your son that he can spend some time at his dad's house - giving you a break but not kicking him to the actual curb. We had to kick my step daughter out a couple of years ago and I was relieved she had her mom's to go to after being kicked out of her friend's house. Her mom's not the best but at least I know she's sometimes eating. Your vacation sounds awesome!!! Bonfires! S'mores!

Not because things never break, but because no one knows how or has time to fix them. Good heavens about the incorrect duct work! I thought our dryer, which didn't vent at all but just went all over the basement wall was bad! Glad you got that fixed.<br />I'm sorry to hear about the loss of MaryLou.
