[worry_angel]

[Bikerbettyboop]

HI Worry Angel... welcome to the forum!

[richard kolasch]

summer time is fun.its the heat,that is bad.

[lowellahoward]

summer time is fun.its the heat,that is bad.
Actually, I think it is the humidity that is the worst.

[richard kolasch]

maybe that is why i get summer headaches.

[lowellahoward]

maybe that is why i get summer headaches.
Could really be.

[lowellahoward]

Yay, it is Big Brother 7 night again!!!!!!

[Bikerbettyboop]

I was disappointed to see Jas leave Big Brother All Stars last night. I don't know why they keep Will. He already won once... so why should he be allowed to stay?

[lowellahoward]

I was disappointed to see Jas leave Big Brother All Stars last night. I don't know why they keep Will. He already won once... so why should he be allowed to stay?
That was a tough choice last nite. Jase was potentially after Janelle so that is bad. Will is just no good and dangerous. I like the season 6 four and was glad to see James for once stuck with them. It was a tough choice. If Will really is a full fledged Dr., why would he want to be on this program away from patients? In fact, how could he be? I was surprised at the 9-0 vote. But, they might have made the right choice That Will won once is besides the point. I wanted Lisa to be one of the picks (and she had won too). However, over, all I think Janelle deserves to win

[Sally77]

I actually caught part of it last night- but missed the ending...

[lowellahoward]

Incase you missed it, Sally, Janelle is HOH again.

I am. But let's not rush it. There is still a month plus a week left.

[livingbooper]

Is anyone else sad that summer is drawing to a close?
Well, I am. The weather was only too hot for a week or too and otherwise has been very nice. I love the sunshine and clear weather. And I love it that I don't need a jacket. Tank top season rules!

[Bikerbettyboop]

Same here... weather is great!!

Did you have a nice ride yesterday Lizzy? I told Don that you and Jack went riding and he said that's what we're going to do today... so we did! Got caught in a rain shower. I even rode my Harley on gravel and rain slicked roads and didn't have any problems !! I was soooo happy to be back on my bike again!! Decided NOT to sell it!! Had a good time.. We rode about 80 miles today. It was fun! Rain and all! LOL!

[bboop480]

[Bikerbettyboop]

It hasn't been hot... like it was... here for almost 2 weeks... very nice weather... You need to getaway to Prescott BB480!

Woo hoo!

Of course, this is old news to us but I am delighted that you had a great riding day and did well and felt comfortable. I knew that you had to get back in that saddle again and have a good day out. And Jack and I had a blast on our ride, as you know. On Tuesday Jack finally installed the engine guards that I bought last year. I helped. Now if I drop the bike the engine will be protected and the bars make my bike look bigger & beefier.
The next thing I want to get is a sissy bar so that I can attach my luggage if I ever get to go on the road trip that I want to go on...someday.... Hopefully next summer...

[bboop480]

I thought you'd appreciate it.
it was awesome!!!!!!

[Bikerbettyboop]

Don bought engine guards for me too but I sold them..I put them on and didn't like the way it made my bike look.

[bboop480]

Don bought engine guards for me too but I sold them..I put them on and didn't like the way it made my bike look.
WHY.......................

[Bikerbettyboop]

The engine guards take away the sporty look of my motorcycle... looked totally different and I like it to look sporty.

[bboop480]

GOOD CALL!!!!!!!!!!!

[Bikerbettyboop]

My husband would prefer that I have the engine guards on because it protects everything when it's dropped.

[bboop480]

OH.....................

[Bikerbettyboop]

I just don't like the looks and would rather take my chances.

[bboop480]

I just don't like the looks and would rather take my chances.
OK...................

[Bikerbettyboop]

Probably not the smartest thing in the the world! LOL!

.................................

[Bikerbettyboop]

Don't ride with helmets either... also not a smart thing!

[bboop480]

Don't ride with helmets either... also not a smart thing!
NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ! ITS NOT.....SO MANY PEOPLE WOULD COME OUT OF ACCIDENTS BETTER IF THEY DID....IM TELLING YOU BECAUSE I SEE............

[lowellahoward]

Don't ride with helmets either... also not a smart thing!

In CA it is the law that you wear a helmet. Shoukd be everywhere.

[bboop480]

In CA it is the law that you wear a helmet. Shoukd be everywhere.
agreeing with ya there!!!

[Bikerbettyboop]

NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ! ITS NOT.....SO MANY PEOPLE WOULD COME OUT OF ACCIDENTS BETTER IF THEY DID....IM TELLING YOU BECAUSE I SEE............


The helmet law is so controversial.... I Know that medical people and insurance companies say we should wear them all the time but I can tell you as a rider who has worn them... I don't like them personally. Limits my visibility and hearing and they are just uncomfortable and not practical.

Some riders call them brain buckets cause if you have an accident on a motorcycle, the helmet may or may not protect your brain but your body is pretty much unprotected and you can die from internal injuries, broken limbs etc.

So who knows?

[bboop480]

[Bikerbettyboop]

Lowell in the doghouse... nah!! LOL!! But I'd be happy to send him my destroyed shed! LOL!!

Wow Judi your monsoon storm is starting early this morning! My brother in law works in Phoenix and he was right across the road from where all the power lines came down! Shut down his construction site for 2 days! He's back in Phoenix working again. I hope the storm won't be a bad one today.

[bboop480]

Its Raining Again!!!!!!!!!!!

[Bikerbettyboop]

hhahah.. Judi you sound like a broken record.. LOLL!!!!

[Bikerbettyboop]

It was 52 degrees when we got up this morning... summertime is ending quickly for us here!

[lowellahoward]

wow... cooler than Torrance.

[Bikerbettyboop]

Yep... we're getting cool fast! Back to needing two sets of clothes... long sleeves and jeans in the morning and shorts in the afternoon!

[lowellahoward]

Yep... we're getting cool fast! Back to needing two sets of clothes... long sleeves and jeans in the morning and shorts in the afternoon!

AHHHHH real seasons. Unlike Torrance.

[Bikerbettyboop]

We get all the seasons here... the sun is starting to head back towards the south and now we have to sit on our front deck in the evenings cause we get blinded and roasted if we sit on our back deck!

[Bikerbettyboop]

I always think of Labor Day weekend as the last real summertime weekend. Anyone else feel that way?

[bboop480]

I always think of Labor Day weekend as the last real summertime weekend. Anyone else feel that way?
I DO...IT MARKS THE END OF SUMMER TO ME....BUT THE HEAT IS STILL HERE!!!!

[lowellahoward]

I always think of Labor Day weekend as the last real summertime weekend. Anyone else feel that way?

I think most people do. But, I don't.

[Bikerbettyboop]

You don't Lowell? When do you feel summer ends?????

[lowellahoward]

You don't Lowell? When do you feel summer ends?????

On about Sep 21. When Fall starts. There are no real seasons here so my mind just follows the callendar. (Maybe it's the engineer in me)

[Bikerbettyboop]

That makes sense... that's one thing I do remember about So. California.. it doesn't change seasons much.... Phoenix and Las Vegas don't either... it's either hot or hotter! LOL!

[bboop480]

it does cool off in some time there biker!!!!

[lowellahoward]

That's because of some of the cool people there

[Bikerbettyboop]

it does cool off in some time there biker!!!!


I know.. I was just joking... when you cool off we're down right freezing up here!! :D

[lowellahoward]

I have been in Las Vegas in December when it was way way below freezing too.

[Bikerbettyboop]

Oh me too... I lived there and I swore sometimes that the winters were just as brutally cold as anywhere in the world when the wind blew through there 100 mph!

That's the thing about the desert.. can be colder than you'd ever imagine in winter and hotter than you think you can survive in summer... but it's still wonderfully beautiful!!

[lowellahoward]

and if you don't need either?

[Bikerbettyboop]

If you don't need either... that's called Torrance, California!

[Bikerbettyboop]

Summertime and my garden is in full swing (what's left of it that is!)

We're having cantelope, watermelon, tomatos, potatos, squash, green beans and carrots... all from the garden! Cool huh?

[bboop480]

ahhhhhhhhh the smell of fireplaces..........nice!!!!! up north that is!!!

[lowellahoward]

Ahhh no fireplace here..........

[Neckless]

I don;t NEED one here.
Cool nights here just call for a bit heavier throw.

[Bikerbettyboop]

ahhhhhhhhh the smell of fireplaces..........nice!!!!! up north that is!!!

I love the smell of our fireplace in the cool evenings. We burn shaggy bark juniper and it smells great!

[Bikerbettyboop]

Ahhh no fireplace here..........

My dad and I both had fireplaces in our houses when we lived in Torrance. It does get cold enough and damp enough in the winter time that a fireplace is enjoyable.

[Neckless]

Oh...Ive had the exposure...just no need for one here.

[Bikerbettyboop]

That's understandable.. if you don't need one then why have one? Have you ever heard of a chiminea? We have one on our deck. It's cool... we also have a big inground firepit in our backyard too for cool evenings when we burn scrap wood and cardboard boxes.

[Neckless]

Hmmmmmm.
I'd trade with you for a weekend...next year.

[Bikerbettyboop]

You're more than welcome to come visit us.. I've told you that before. We have an extra bedroom and lots of decks and privacy. My friends tell me that my house is like a bed and breakfast when they come visit.

[Neckless]

Wow! Those are really nice...in the wooded areas of some placees we have been.
Thanks BBB.

how nice on a nice snowy night!!!

[lowellahoward]

I'm sure glad we DON'T have any of those snowy nites.

[Bikerbettyboop]

It's nice on any cool crisp cold night!! Doesn't need to be snowing for us to use our fireplace. We get down in the 30's at night... without snow!!

[Bikerbettyboop]

I'm sure glad we DON'T have any of those snowy nites.


You wouldn't want just one or two snowy nights? :confused:

It can be very romantic Lowell!!

[shauvaun]

Yes it can especially if you have a fireplace to snuggle under.

[Bikerbettyboop]

We have a double sided fireplace which is shared by our family room and our bedroom and it is so nice on cold evenings to sleep in a warm room with our fireplace going.

yes it is.....but i hope her school work wont suffer...if it does...goodbye job....i feel her education is more important.....

[Bikerbettyboop]

That's the way it should be and you are perfectly correct (in my book anyway) to feel that way. I remember when I was in high school and got my first job, my folks said the same thing. So it meant working doubly hard to keep up with the job and school both! The money is nice but school comes first!!

I thought I could feel like it was summer Until at least 3/4 of the way into Sept. But, no, I'm like you.... Summer is done for me too.

[Neckless]

The days are shorter, the weather is cooler, and the children have returned to school… the relaxing days of summer are behind us!

Well...my climate pretty much stays the same.
we get into the 60's.

Top 5 Ways to Save Money on Your Summertime Grocery Bill
http://singleparents.about.com/od/financialhelp/tp/grocery_shop.htm

Better do it now since summer is mostly gone now.

[Neckless]

Good Idea.

Another alternative for saving money on drinks is to buy generic sodas, at least half the time. Or make an effort to purchase brand-name sodas only when they're on sale.

August 30, 2006

While scuba diving and snorkeling are still the biggest draw, Belize is also just a great place to kick back and relax. You can also explore the jungle, perhaps reminding yourself that you are in one of the first nations to encourage eco-friendly tourism. Belize has been a hot, hot destination for several years now, but familiarity hasn't bred contempt on the part of resort owners, who still understand that good value deals will bring in the travelers.

Summertime, and the Livin' is ... Belizey

well at least that.
A majority of Dalmations for the most part have problems I have read. They say they are not reccomended for the average person for that reason.

My son has Dalmatians and they are pretty hiper active dogs and require a lot of attention! He got his first one when he was 5 years old and he loves them... nope.. I don't want a Dalmatian either.
