Bummer,
DH has to do his paperwork now. I guess I will see you all later.
Whgrn: You are being too kind to ex for fathers day...remember he gave you chocolate---which you can't eat. Maybe gift cer to Bath and Body Works or something like that.
Actually, I was thinking about a jar of Bean-O!!!I'm a jinx to air conditioners...on way home Sunday, we stopped at Friendly's to eat. The refrigeration man was in the back and so we asked if ac was working. He said he just got it going and wasn't too bad. I came to my house today and turned on ac and it's not getting cooler---81! Went to Hoss's for dinner and quess what---no ac! It wasn't too hot though. So went to grocery store and took my time---it's really cold there. I felt like asking for a job!
My trip to the shore was wonderful though. Didn't get too hot until Sunday when we got up. My mom had a great time. I'm not sure if she'll let me go without her anymore.She loved Cape May too---we took a trolley tour of the cottages. There was deli called Kabutz Down the Shore in OC. I also saw a reality company called Down the Shore. I was not as busy as when I've been before but maybe it was still early with kids in school.
Here is an update on my Dad:
Today he had a needle biopsy of the fluid between his lungs and chest cavity. According to my Dad the procedure sounds a lot worse than it is. He felt the need to describe his "sputum" his new favorite word (he is joking of course lol). He made the decision to tell me about it because I told him I was cooking dinner...guess he is trying to help out the diet....ummmm thanks Dad
Anyway, we found out today that the mass is about the size of a fist. According to the Dr. the fact that it is large is positive news. He said he would be more worried if it were small because that would indicate that he had a bunch of small cells "floating around" instead of one large mass that can be removed.
If the fluid (Sorry, can't stomach the word twice lol) does not have any cancer cells in it, then they will simply remove the mass (it is called a wedge). If there is cancer in the fluid then he has gotta do Chemo. We of course are praying there is no cancer in the fluid because then it is surgery and then done; no more drama unless it comes back.
They also told him that he has to gain weight in case he ends up needing Chemo. He is significantly under weight and this is the main thing that has my Mom worried because he has been underweight for well over a year now. I don't think it is related though. My Dad is very active and he owns his own remodeling/building maintenance company and he still does most of the work himself. I think he just works it off.
So I got a big lecture from my Dad today about positive thinking and humor. My Mom was telling me about what the Dr. said, I was listening, but I guess that we did not sound positive because I heard him in the background talking about something, then I heard my mom crack up laughing, then I heard him say "give me the phone". He went on to first give me my lecture about the power of laughter and positive thinking(he really is a very funny man who LOVES to laugh). Then he wanted to talk about Disney and something about air conditioned hover-rounds that he saw on T.V (don't ask lol)
We are trying to stay positive. My Dad, unless he is faking it, is confident. I am not so confident, but I will stay positive. I keep thinking of my FIL who went through the same thing and is just fine now. I know everyone is different, but that is my thing to cling to.
A lady at work brought me a cupcake to cheer me up. I thought that was sweet because she is not even someone that I know that well, but she thought of me and I was touched.
I know that story except mine is 15 and thinks he can do whatever he wants and the whole world revolves around him. He has a whole heap of other problems but if we could solve this one, we would be well on our way to solving alot of others. But I swear some days, I am counting the seconds until he can move out.
Good luck!!!!!!!!
whgrn-Stay in a real castle!! If you keep talking about all these great things you are going to do(mostly the men in kilts but I'll take the castle too), I'm going to have stow away in your luggage.
Hmmm,we have a 50 pound limit on the one suitcase we're allowed to bring. Can you fit in there????
Not even if this heat wave lasted all summer. I guess I'll just have to convince DH to take a trip to Ireland to see where my family came from (and add a little trip to Scotland to see the men in kilts)

Did you wait 180 days out to make ressies for the castle??? 
They are sure selling a lot of cd's. I think they cut off his last song. Oh well. His voice doesn't sound as good as it used to either...I guess he needs money too.
I think I should have gone to bed 40 min ago when I was yawning...at least it's cooler now.
I thought you were surfing other threads. Heard that Kyle apologised for wrecking Jamie (I think that's who) but said spotter didin't tell him anyone was there and his mirror was broken. So it really wasn't his fault I guess--it never is his fault! I only got to see the last 25 laps. My friend said it was boring. She said the NBC announcers aren't that interesting either.
Oh no way!
I like your little mini afterthought!! And God FORBID this heat would last all summer!! Good one.
Nope, just 45 days for this one. I sent an email last night (which was today by Scotland time), and tried calling at 4 am our time. No answer, so I just called now. They don't have a room on the ground floor, and the first floor is about 25 steps up. Too much for Mom. So we can't stay at the castle.
Hey Racetrack---
Good morning. It's cool! 
Well, maybe not that cold but my ac worked overnight. I guess it was too hot outside to get the inside temp down yesterday. I'm just waiting to see if it can keep the inside temp down today. Hopefully...
High 80s?
