lol that looks good

 

[Ruth]

Good morning! I am listening to the hymns on the Ernest Angely hour. That singing just made me feel good this morning. Don't really care for EA that much, though.

 

[MarkFL]

Yeah I know what you mean...I like a lot of Ted Nugent's music but as a human being I disagree with just about everything he stands for...but that doesn't stop me from rocking out to his music. :bee:

 

[Ruth]

I haven't really listened to Ted Nugent that I know of. I should look him up on youtube and see what he sounds like. I'm always looking for more music to
listen to.

I just turned the AC on. Another muggy, hot day here. Just watching reruns on the tv. Lazy day for me.

Here's one of my favorites of his:

We do that in the winter actually with the heat. When the fan is constantly running it will recirculate the air through the system and keep our upstairs warmer. We tried it with the air conditioning but didn't like it and I can't remember the reason why.

These things have an "eco" mode where everything shuts off when it reaches temperature. Then the fan runs for a few seconds every 10 minutes to test the temperature, and the compressor cuts back in if needed. The trouble is, since the window units are, well, in the window they are at one edge of the room and frequently shut off and leave the room to get progressively warmer until they fire up again.

Once it gets a little cooler I'm going to fit ceiling fans to the bedrooms, so at least the air will move around a little. Ideally I'd like them now, but it's too hot to be working on electrical stuff when I'm likely to be dripping sweat all over it.

Ahh okay. We have central air.

Ahh okay. We have central air.

We may do, but it will probably wait until after I've done the renovations.

That means replacing a good chunk of the wiring, probably installing an extended breaker box (I'll pay someone to do that bit!) and replacing the hideous lath-and-plaster walls with modern drywall. That should keep me out of trouble for a while. Not sure how we'll keep the cat away from the mess... that could be interesting.

Hello everyone.

 

[Lamb]

Hi Ruth!! It's a gorgeous day.

How are your birdies?

 

[psalms 91]

Good morning

 

[Ruth]

Hi Ruth!! It's a gorgeous day.

How are your birdies?

Hi Lamm and everybody. My birdies are doing really good. Danny is done with his medication as of yesterday. He is very strong and sassy again.

 

[MarkFL]

So glad to hear it, Ruth! :thumbsup:

So glad to hear it, Ruth! :thumbsup:

Thanks Mark, I appreciate yours and others' concern for my little dearies! Did I tell you what happened the other day? Well I posted it elsewhere so I will post it here:

It was near 8 pm and I walked into the living room and immediately I knew something was wrong. It seems my Danny bird was flying around in little circles....wait....I look over to the cage and Danny is in the cage and Bailee is in the playpen...they are extremely quiet. I look at this bird now flying in my living room around in circles and as my eyes adjust more I see it is not a bird but a...BAT!! My panic mode goes on but I remain pretty calm. I go into the bathroom and get a towel. I try to shoo it to the back room so I can open the window and let it out but this BAT is having none of that. He keeps flying around my living room in circles, now big circles and then flying around the dining room and back into the living room. The bird cage is open and I am worried my bird is going to fly out and join him but Danny remains very quiet and still. Meanwhile I am sort of like dancing with this BAT in my living room following it around with a towel...not hitting him but motioning to him...like he knows what I mean...but he just keeps flying around my living room..Suzy is just looking up at him with her big brown eyes. Now I know I can't let this bat live here so I have to get him out..so I opened up the front window in the living room and the BAT doesn't get it and just keeps flying around in circles in the living room and dining room..until he flies into the kitchen...now to get to the kitchen and close him in there...I got there in time and closed him in the kitchen! So then I call the managers and tell them something really weird just happened and that I have a BAT in my apartment..they come over and sneak into the kitchen with a large cloth...I told them it was a baby BAT ...well they came out with it inside the cloth and said it was not a baby bat but a full grown one and were smiling and they took him outside and let him go. So I had a little visitor tonight...scared the heck out of me!

 

[MarkFL]

Wow, Ruth...that is so strange, because a few days ago for the first time I know of, I had a bat in my house too! What drew my attention to it was the fact that my cats were going crazy trying to catch it as it flew around in circles. I opened my front door and was able to "guide" it out pretty quickly. What a coinky-dink! :thinking:

See!!! The USA is full of scary critters. It could have been count Dracula!

If I recall correctly, in the top 10 list of most venomous snakes, OZ has numbers 1-9. :scared:

Even if that is so the snakes are few in number and live a long way away from me
