wow a box of fireworks! Ever gone through a barrel of fireworks? Ah, I miss some moments of my childhood.

I know the old ps2 my sisters and me share needs a new lazer or I think it's really called a lens.

[@-HyperBlossom-] Not mine, may as well throw money in a fire.

On the subject of old tech, mine is thinking about upgrading to a new phone. This old flip phone of mine has become impractical from signal loss and lack of usable features. Mine can justify using some of the financial aid to front the cost of paying off the old phone and buying an upgrade. Tho the risk is any access could spark bad things.

you're right to get a phone upgrade. You're in the right since it's not function correctly.

[@-HyperBlossom-] Mine did pay the balance, tho mine would want to wait a few days to weigh the options.

Some clothing item mine want to stock up had been available at a local Wal-Mart, at $2 for three pairs mine bought ten packs. Mine may be able to focus on other items later on.

104 F at 16:00 today, mine think it's the lower heat this side.

hi my lovely! It was been very hot lately. I've been having to add blocks of ice to my cats' water bowl. They have a bunch of trees to protect them from the sun. I've notice one thing if I add ice to their bowl they will drink from it and then they'll sit around it.

I wish I could go clothes shopping, but I don't have much free time to go shopping plus I'm really trying to save up my money for a trip. Need more short pants and personal items.

Hope you're keeping cool and doing well.

[@-HyperBlossom-] Mine always have trouble clothes shopping, seems average sized articles are few and far between. Shoes and boots are rarer still, but when push comes to shove mine get what mine can find.

Yesterday mine visited a friend whom asked for Switch games to borrow. Turns out he bought a OLED Switch, and oddly asked mine about how it works. This coming from a guy who can repair consoles and controllers when others fail, tho he is not familiar with this Nintendo system.

If we're getting 100+ F several days in a row, keeping cool is a priority. Oddly mine can sleep with 70s at night without the A/C.

clothes shopping and be difficult some times same goes for shoe shopping.

Can fix any console plus controller, but don't know about any oled switch....very odd?

The rain seems to cool down the temperature here, but then there be steam on the roads. Lol!

[@-HyperBlossom-] Quantities of any average size is the hard part, but sometimes funds aren't a problem. Mine booked for the nest weekend to keep after an uncle and aunt, which may need an overnight stay.

Mine also poised to get updated paperwork to submit for financial aid, mine been told it may be too early to consider applying payment from grants.

The whole fixing others, but not one's own is common. Mine have that issue mit mine car's engine, despite keeping friend's cars running well. Go fig...

oh family visit?

Wait, I'm confused how is it too early to apply for a grant?

[@-HyperBlossom-] Mine unsure about the process, mine meant it may be too early to use the grant mine qualified for to pay the nest semester. It's something that needs to be addressed to clarify the process.

The family mine watching are the uncle and aunt who have alzheimer's and dementia, the cousin who cares for them has work that has scheduling that leaves her out of her home.

Bloody heat, mine getting twitchy from having to stay inside. But going out for fun isn't always the best idea, nor keeping occupied indoors. It eat away at mine...an part of why mine try to stay off mine laptop.

it's been extremely hot here in Mississippi and I hope we get some rain. The clouds are dark enough for a thrunder storm.

Work away from home? Is she like a nurse? You don't have to answer if you don't too.

[@-HyperBlossom-] Just a few more weeks, pretty soon complaints of the cold will follow...

Actually mine doesn't gknow her profession, she mostly works from home an sometimes needs to take assignments in the field.

Mine could use a pool day, not so fun going alone... tsunami bombs are better done with an audience...

I can't wait for October. I just love the Fall and Halloween.

I was just asking love. Mmh, but she works from home and sometimes goes away. That's fine.

A same vacation would be nice. God knows I need some alone to myself.

[@-HyperBlossom-] Same here, cactus fruit matures by the end of Avgust, and mine would like to store however much mine can.

you know what I was thinking about growing a Prickly Pear Cactus, but the spines are dangerous to cats. I can't hurt my babies, so I was wondering if I can just get a potter and grow it in my room?

[@-HyperBlossom-] As mine recall, a small prickly pear from a job mine brought home had grown significantly since transplanted. They're not meant to stay small.

oh I know they don't stay small! The are actually kinda big...like a rose bush or a hedge. I can't grow one in my room because of that reason. Kinda sucks. I would also love to plant two Red Plum Trees! They are so beautiful.

[@-HyperBlossom-] An on that subject, mine would like to try sprouting some alfalfa. Mine dug out a few sprigs from a yard mine asked to clean later. Mine have seen some on roadsides and other places that don't seem like anything could grow, zo its a shot in the dark to see them take in a sandlot.

Mine booked for a few days, at least three separate jobs an some choices to make on when to attend each. Yes, blazing heat and outdoor work can mean heat exhaustion, zo mine will take the necessary measures to keep safe. The payout iz worth the risk, tho mine should gknow when to slow down.

it's like sand that helps them grow. Kinda weird, but a cactus is nothing, but water because they store water very differently than trees and flowers.... if I'm right. I could be wrong about the water part.

To breaks and lots of water with you honey.

[@-HyperBlossom-] Mine will see soon enough, mine father got the notion and planted the sprigs along a part of our garden that would get watered first. Mine hope to see growth before the weather becomes cold.

That goes without saying, anytime mine go out mine take plenty, more so for jobs.

Tomorrow is the day, after an appointment and breakfast, mine stop to look into an upgrade to mine phone.
