Down!
Mark-thanks. ...Mona, Mona, Mona...down girl! Down!<br /><br />Mark-thanks. Where are you guys right now?<br /><br />Jim-Marketers know what they're doing. However, the front page had a chick in a ripped,half shirt and daisy duke shorts half unbuttoned, navel jewels, a hard hat and a drill. I guess they're trying to cover all possible buyers.<br /><br />Ksam- I grew up in Owatonna. You're right, we had plenty of sunshine compared to where you live....where frankly I think the winters must be dismal. But we have more than 300 days of pure sunshine down here. It's all relative! Where are you in Minnesota?Delana@dujourhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09319475424591739125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5954745049002985163.post-66890078399160598052011-07-13T05:05:23.556+02:002011-07-13T05:05:23.556+02:00So little sunshine and heat?? Where did you grow ...So little sunshine and heat?? Where did you grow up in MN?? I grew up in the North and we had pretty marked seasons, it hot in the summer and cold in the winter. <br /><br />It's funny you should mention it though because constant sunshine is one of the things I really miss about Minnesota. I've been back here for two weeks now for work and am really enjoying the nice weather. I love that storms and rain are usually limited to the night time and then you wake up the next day to bright blue skies. Whereas in France the gloomy weather usually tends to be wimpy and just hangs around for days. Winter also tends to be sunny in MN and grey in France (though maybe not the South where you are). <br /><br />And knock on wood, but so far the temps here have been between 80-90° everyday this trip, which is plenty hot for me!Ksamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05991667611234163617noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5954745049002985163.post-62553151471409413412011-07-12T23:41:52.385+02:002011-07-12T23:41:52.385+02:00Well...I guess we know which sex buys air conditio...Well...I guess we know which sex buys air conditioners in France. <br /><br />Stay Cool!Jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02945084209810527692noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5954745049002985163.post-54111261162202225892011-07-12T22:54:14.705+02:002011-07-12T22:54:14.705+02:00It's so nice to have you back and posting agai...It's so nice to have you back and posting again.

I'll probably bite your head off!<br /><br />Paulita-In fact, I love it too. Once I get over the guilt. I thought of you this morning at 6 am when I thought maybe I should go out for a long WALK (not run) before it got hot. I thought of you...and then I went back to sleep!<br /><br />LibbY-I'll keep my skype on. I really think New York would be worse. And the shutters really do help.<br /><br />Fly-That was exactly what I was thinking...glad you said it first! Don't come back...any place where a man would help me carry stuff...is gold in my book.<br /><br />Vera-Thank you. I think the thing I miss the most is water. That seems to cure everything. I'm close...but without a car...it involves buses, lots of walking, and ...oh hell...just take another shower.<br /><br />Sara-do you suppose that's possible? The heat is messing with my head!<br /><br />Blandine-I feel the same way about air conditioning. It makes me feel guilty. I think a visit from the installer might make me feel guiltier though!<br /><br />Holly-I will be there Saturday.

For the first time in my life I am living in an air contioned flat. I feel guilty and I do not use it much axcept in the hottest hours of the day and during the night. I think that in a short time I will have overcome this feeling...blandina https://www.blogger.com/profile/00116066798221969471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5954745049002985163.post-46419690124165665382011-07-12T07:33:04.290+02:002011-07-12T07:33:04.290+02:00If he doesn't install it I'd sue for false...If he doesn't install it I'd sue for false advertising!Sara Louisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06058056977783867772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5954745049002985163.post-77648032369019051962011-07-12T07:25:44.572+02:002011-07-12T07:25:44.572+02:00I still argue with myself about the afternoon sies...I still argue with myself about the afternoon siesta. Sometimes I do, sometimes I don't, depends on whether I am in 'sleeping in the afternoons is for old folk' mode! But we are not quite so hot as you are, being over on the SW of France, near the Pyrenees, and we are rural and have a river on one border of our land, so if it is dreadfully hot me and the dogs can always go paddle in the river to cool down!

Alm...What exactly will he be 'posing'....?<br /><br />Almost tempted back to France to find out, but totally bemused by all these so called macho central american men who smile sweetly at old crones like me, help them on and off buses, in and out of chairs, open doors, carry parcels and treat them like queens.the fly in the webhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04563871975125538755noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5954745049002985163.post-86253110981815205612011-07-12T04:24:03.126+02:002011-07-12T04:24:03.126+02:00This is exactly how we lived for five years in New...This is exactly how we lived for five years in New York City!
