    Anyway...sounds like there are going to be some really bad storms (tornadoes) heading my way tonight too...
    I hope it will get weakened or something. Take care, man.

      I hope that all weakens up sooner than later so it doesn't cause any more damage than I'm sure its causing right now

        I'm going to doctors right now so hopefully whatever it is, it will be fixed.
        Amazing what pressurized water can do.

            Because I wear hearing aids with the molds ear wax tends to build up a lot for me so needless to say i'm very familiar with pressurized water. Who would've thought something as simple as warm pressurized water can get gunks of wax out?

            That being said there's another way of doing it that freaks me out and I avoid it like the plague. That's when the doctor has to use a tweezer like utensil. I can feel the thing going in my ear and then when the doctor is trying to take out the bit of wax it hurts like a mofo!

            I think it's a combination of real pain and psychological block but I just can't stand that. Luckily my ears have been good enough that i've only needed to use that procedure once in the last 5 years.

              luckily, the storms never materialized to much around here, but I think other parts of Nebraska got hit pretty hard. It's weird because I really do like watching storms and they are really interesting, but I just feel like I'm looking over my shoulder all summer because of all of the storms.

                Well at least you're ok herbsinator. That's the most important thing right now.

                Anywho, it's not even 10 AM and it's already hotter then hades up here. I shudder to think how it's going to feel at 3 PM. Hopefully the thunderstorms and rain they're calling for comes in a little bit today to cool the place off just a little.

                    Hot tub for me. Sitting in a hot tub is among my top-5 list of things to do.

                        So I take my step-daughter to the community pool in our apartment complex, Which is nice by the way, not some dirty disgusting pool. Anyway there is one of those chlorine dispensers in the water, you know, the ones that hold the chlorine tablets. So this complete idiot swims up to it and says, hmm whats this. Then preceded to throw it out of the pool. I sitting there watching my daughter swim so I havent gotten in yet. SO i grab it and put it back in. About a a half hour later another kid, prob 13 or 14 grabs it and throws it out of the pool. The chlorine disks go everywhere and break across the concrete. Some Lady then says what the hell are you doing?? Why did you throw that out of the pool. The kids responds by saying I don't even know what it is. The lady then says its the chlorine that keeps the pool clean from scum like you. HAHAHAHA Im so glad someone put this kid in his place. I was so annoyed. How could anyone not know what it was? I thought it was pretty common knowledge. Some real idiots all around us.

                              We just got an e-mail at work that the air conditioning is not going to be operating properly the rest of the day because the building management company is working on the AC unit. Maybe it will get too hot and they'll send us home (fingers crossed).
