Sounds like a crazy day!

Looking forward to hearing about the 12 year olds at the mall and whether it does or does not qualify as a b-day party. You mean they did not head off to Bild a Bear for their fun time? Kids at the mall is its own blog I would say, as in the adults that have to put up with them at the mall can contribute the horror stories. When did a mall become a babysitter and what are its qualifications?

Because his wife didn't have time to do his freaking laundry, what with getting ready to go back to school full-time (she's a teacher) running a household, getting 2 kids ready to go back to school (they are 6 & 9) and trying to keep the Bassett Hound (who has now reached adolescents apparently) from eating, chewing or just detroying the house and all of its contents... especially the new school supplies just purchased for the start of the school year.

Just sayin'....

Prince Charming wears his trunks as shorts all the time. LOL

You and I often take opposite approaches. When my ice maker broke 4 years ago, we bought a new refrigerator and put the old one in the garage for beverages. It is amazing when you have 2 fridges that the need for chilled beverages increases exponentially, making you wonder how you ever got by with just the one. Now, the icemaker on my 4 year old refrigerator has quit making ice. I rarely use ice so I don't really care, but really, everything should work on a 4 year old appliance. Oh, and I did vacuum the coils and clean the grille, but that didn't help. Perhaps I need to clean the handle.

You are having some "interesting" times! And hey, I often look at people, and wonder, " Why in heck would you wear THAT?"

I hope the weather cools off while you are waiting for the HVAC to come back to life.

The guys wearing swim suits...they are too lazy to do laundry and the swim suits are the only clean clothing they have he.he.he

Oh, come on! You know you like those sexy swim trunks! Or, how about guys in those cleverly worn pajama bottoms? Rolled up, of course, so no one mistakes them for a sleep walking zombie.

And don't get ME started about girls wearing their underwear as outerwear in public..."cause this soapbox ain't strong enough to withstand my frenzied exhortations.

(Hope your appliances recover quickly. I can identify. Mr. Hoover is falling apart piece by piece. The fridge stays cold but no water dispenser, the liners are cracked - again -and there are 2 lovely rivulets of rusty water that continuously run down the front. The hot water heater has been "percolating" and the fix-it dude says, "Eeew. that's not good." The well is tainted with arsenic. Cheers!)

You week sounds about like mine the plus side is at least we aren't alone in our plight ;) ;)

Stay cool, and I mean that on many different levels.

Perhaps the man in the swimsuit is just looking for a slip-n-slide party?

The mall is a place of mischief and wrong, and I have the credit cards to prove it.

That's some week your having.

I just hope I see trunks and not speedos!! OMG, NO MAN should EVER wear a SPEEDO!

Lord love a duck woman, you are having some serious appliance problems. I hope that you can get them taken care of soon. As for the simming trunks? We get that alot here too...and the bad part is they wear them really low and loose. Lately, we've been having alot of people wear PJ bottoms out in public as well. What's up with that?

At least they aren't wearing speedos where there is no pool. Or are they? Hmm.. makes one pause to think "What kinda guy has to wear a speedo to super enhance his "male ego" where there is obvioiusly no need for a speedo. Not that I've seen any, of course (wink)

Wonderful to read!
