so good

Hey Liz, if you decide to visit Gail down there I will be glad to babysit Max.

 

 

[gail]

Good grief

Still here, waiting for the pilot to come back from vacation.

Today we hit the 38 Celsius with humidex. I am sweating and sweating and I am sweating!

[TryinginFL]

grief abounds

 

 

Well now, FH - not really thrilled about your offer, but thanks!

 

Egads, Gail - that pilot of yours sure takes long vacations!  Hope you aren't paying him during this time!

Liz, he is also a mechanic. He is with FiveNotions trying to fix her jet.

FN is sure quiet. Must be busy with the pilot, he is so handsome!

See you later, if I survive the heat!

[TryinginFL]

with her

 

 

Boy, FN sure is lucky!

 

And don't melt, Gail!  Sounds like here....  

[gail]

Her there

Can't believe you have this also. Just got back from work and the lady has a/c in her house. It's when I got out, sun shining full force, I could have vanished from the face of the earth and would not have minded or mind.

Spring and autumn are beautiful here but for the rest, I could pass my turn.

C'est la vie! Emerson, Lake and Palmer by the way. TM, is that right?

[TryinginFL]

there now

 

 

Hi Gail!

 

Our summers here last from May through September - always hot and miserable!   Fortunately, I do have A/C.

I don't go outside unless it's absolutely necessary...

[thismoment]

now morning

 

I sat up half the night reading Superintelligence by Nick Bostrum; it's now morning and I wonder if I should try to sleep some or just push on with the day and resolve to get to bed early tonight.

 

Gail, you are absolutely correct C'est La Vie is a song by Emerson, Lake & Palmer. In the 70's Greg Lake spent some time living in Paris. He did not speak French, but it's impossible to be unaffected by that glorious city and its citizens. Lake knew the famous French expession 'c'est la vie' ('that's life'-- a kind of dismissive phrase Maurice Chevalier might have used when falling in love-- and then falling out of love), and with the help of lyricist Pete Sinfield, Greg Lake wove it into a song.

 

It came out in 1977 on the Works, Volume 1 album.

Morning coffee

Oh Liz, horrible there. Having to stay inside, that would kill me with all the doors and windows shut. What misery!

TM, I was sure it was before. I saw them at the Montreal Forum around 73 or 74. Was Lake still with them when the Works came out? Or was he alone on that album? Lucky Man was my favorite

Got married in 77 and stopped listening to music.

coffee too

"Spring and autumn are beautiful here but for the rest, I could pass my turn.

C'est la vie! Emerson, Lake and Palmer by the way. TM, is that right?"

 

Boy did I screw up!! I thought you were referring to the first line about spring and fall. No matter how I searched I couldn't find that in a song.  Yeesh! What a dumby.

 

I still can't listen to music as it makes me too anxious. In fact I usually watch TV with the sound off and the close captioning on. Less stressful (and less noise). But whatever works.

[gail]

Too far

Fisherman, got you working hard for nothing.

Even easy music makes you anxious? Doesn't the Zoloft help with that?

To what percentage do you think it helps you in your daily life? Thanks!

[TryinginFL]

far away

 

 

Yes, I would like to be far away from here during the summer (like the NC mountains!)  

[gail]

Away from

Signing off, heat got me extenuated♥

[fishinghat]

from me

 

Gail, I would say that it helps about 85%.  I am still very sensitive to noise, anger, sudden movements, a lot of activity around me, having conversations, etc. But on the other hand that is better than curled up in my closet on some blankets screaming in fear (been there done that). Comparative to the other meds I have been on I would say Zoloft is as good as any. They all seem to bring me back to the same level of anxiety.

[gail]

Me myself

Interesting Fisherman, thank you for elaborating.

85% is pretty good compared to your situation before.♥

Hi Snoopy and FH, and good night to you both!

Morning, all!

 

I am really not MIA, I have been watching ball games every nite!

[gail]

Gone back

Nice to see you back Liz!

[thismoment]

back over

The other day I went back over a few of my favorite pithy poems; here's one of the best!


My candle burns at both ends;
It will not last the night;
But ah, my foes, and oh, my friends--
It gives a lovely light!


'First Fig' By Edna St. Vincent Millay, 1918.
