THOSE People....

Well summer is coming on weather is hot and my air conditioner in the car is broken. The shop want $650 that I don't have to fix it so I am riving around in the heat with the windows down. This shouldn't be a problem except that I like to play music when I drive.

I pull up at the Jr High to get Tech Monkey, I've  got the windows rolled down and the tunes on and I am feeling kinda old school. Remembering the 70's when no one I knew had air conditioning. We would drive all over town

Tuesdays Tantrum- Making the Bed

When Agent Daddy and I got married one of the first "difficulties" we had as a newly wed couple was when to make the bed. Agent Daddy has always had to be at work before me, and was quite exasperated to find that I did not make the bed in the morning. He said, "Honey, you are the last one out of bed so can you please make the bed so I can go to sleep in a freshly made bed?" He likes things neat and tidy and in their place. He doesn't necessarily like to to put things away... but he likes them neat and tidy. Asking me to make the bed seemed like a perfectly reasonable request to him. My response to his request? "Look I am not sure when I get up if I am read to commit to

What the UV Index Can Tell You about Prepping for a Beach Day-Guest Post

A day at the beach can quickly turn into a sunburn if the proper precautions aren't taken. And, just because there are a few clouds in the sky doesn't mean you're safe from rays of the ultra violet variety. So the following is an easy-to-understand version of the UV Index -- use it to beat the heat and avoid a bad burn.

Low Risk: UV Index of 2 or Less

 

The UV Index works on a scale from 1 to 11 with 1 being the lowest risk and 11 being the highest. With that being said -- although it's considered low risk, a UV Index of 2 or less can still turn your cheeks redder than you'd ever want.
Even with low-risk beach days, it's still recommended to apply sunscreen with an SPF (sun protection factor) of 30 or above. Also, keep in mind that the sun's rays are likely to bounce off the sand, so apply accordingly and, if you're prone to burning, wear a hat.

The Dead Guy- Chapter 12

Happy hour was in full swing at Tiny's Bar. Virgil Honstetter, Tiny to his friends, was 6'4' and three hundred pounds. At one time it might have been solid muscle but at 60 years old, Virgil was starting to get a little flabby. Music blared though speakers as people gathered at tables and at the bar to enjoy half price drinks and free nacho's. Tiny's was a local institution and if you sat at the bar long enough, you would see everyone in town. I had found a seat at the bar and was drinking my usual unsweetened tea. Not drinking sweet tea around here was a sin close to running off with your best friends boyfriend who dumped her 15 years earlier. It was generally frowned upon but wouldn't keep you form being invited to any dinner parties. Tiny, however, was diabetic and made the best UN sweet tea around. He also always kept my glass full if I sat

Sometimes I Just Shake My Head...

When I was growing up, now admittedly this was a LOOOONG time ago, nice girls did not flash their genitalia, photograph their genitalia, or post pictures of their half naked bodies where everyone could see. In fact if you were not a virgin in High School you lied and said you were. Men treated ladies well because they had to. If they wanted any chance of getting a kiss or to second base you took a girl to dinner, bought her
