The lyrics are so terrible. I feel like they've just written the same song over and over on the past few albums, and each release is worse than the last.Pandemonium wrote:It's not great but I like it. Oddly, it kind of reminds me of mid 90's Marilyn Manson. I just hope the new album is a *lot* better than the last one.Matz wrote:new Muse song sucks

Probably 59-60....bumped up from about 55 or so a few days ago. It would be a shock and take a long time to get used to if I did.mockbee wrote:SR wrote:It's 94 fuckin degrees here. I HATE the intense heat and my pool is too cold to get relief..... It's mocking me. And it's 89 in the house.
What't the temp?
Above 65 F????
JUMP IN!!!!!!
It's a curse and a blessing. there is no shade on the pool or house all day long. The bottom of the pool is black (or it was when I had it redone, but now a light grey). Still it heats to 78-80 every year starting in May or so. Perfect for the summer, but it also bakes the house. Total first world problems but I'm old.mockbee wrote:Yeah, I just looked it up.
NOt good to jump in below 70 F
Shocks the system
60 is really cold.
So get your blowup lounge out and float and splash.SR wrote: It's a curse and a blessing. there is no shade on the pool or house all day long.

Same here, but my son and the dog were bugging me to swim all day so we all just dove in when It got too hot this afternoon.SR wrote:It's 94 fuckin degrees here. I HATE the intense heat and my pool is too cold to get relief..... It's mocking me. And it's 89 in the house.

That's all I got.
Hahaha if you said that in person to any of us in the Northeast this winter I'm pretty sure someone (not I of courseSR wrote:It's 94 fuckin degrees here. I HATE the intense heat and my pool is too cold to get relief..... It's mocking me. And it's 89 in the house.
) would kick your ass...I'm a snow lover but even I had had it with the bitter prolonged cold and constant snow and ice. I was cheering when we had a full day of pouring rain yesterday, finally washed away all but the biggest piles of snow. Melting snow floods are so bad they condemned two houses near my dad (eastern LI) because they had 4 feet of water flooding their basements due to the sudden melt. And the LI Sound was frozen a half mile out, the harbor near us was frozen straight across, haven't seen that since I was a kid in the 70s. Crazy.
Sorry you were sick, I had the stomach virus too, ended up in ER and there were three other people there throwing up into bagschaos wrote:I was hit hard with some type of stomach flu on Tuesday night.

good thing I said it online. I deal with cold better than I do heat. Love it at the beach or wherever there's relief, but it's just oppressive otherwise.

This was our last storm, only a foot but we had a few doozies. My dog Sunny loved it!

Thank you, he is amazing...I'm obsessed with training him. He's a Border Collie, a rescue we got in July 2013 after we lost our other dog to old age (17) and he's almost 2. He learns and retains so much and so fast, it's incredible. I can say, "Sunny, get your bone and bring it here to me" and he will pick up his bone over the other 30 toys there and bring it when I ask once. He communicates like no other dog I've ever had, I can't believe he knows actual words--not just commands/voice tone. It's like having another person around.
He was just accepted to the Yale Canine Cognition Center, we take him (at our convenience) to New Haven and they take videos of experiments (non-invasive of course) showing how he reacts to different scenarios. They are looking to better understand dogs' emotions and cognitive/reasoning abilities. It's really interesting! Here's the link if anyone wants to check it out, or better yet, enroll your dog: http://doglab.yale.edu.
Whoops sorry...get me started on him and I get verbal diarrhea.
And I agree, I am half Finnish and 1/4 Norwegian and my Nordic blood haaaaates the heat...give me sunny, dry and 75 and I'm happy!

yeah pretty much! sweet as can be though...how can you not love a creature so loyal he never leaves your side? I call him Velcro dog 
My Lab runs her (or really my) schedule almost to the minute. I do not need an alarm clock to get up anymore. 6:30am, starts bugging me or my wife (whoever is closest to the edge of the bed so she can lick their face or hand) to get up and do her breakfast. Unfortunately, she refuses to get our son up to do the job. 1pm, bugs me for a chew bone and maybe a walk... or a swim if it's hot. 5pm, gotta have dinner. 7pm right after world news, bugs me for a pig ear. 8pm, bugs my wife for her to take her bath so she can nap on the bathroom floor next to her while she soaks in the tub. She even adjusts for daylight savings time.perkana wrote:I'm impressed with that research. I used to have a chihuahua and he was very smart. I swear he understood words and knew how to read the time. He would look at the clock and if it was 5 o'clock, he would bark at me to take him out for a walk. He was definitely my boss
Mine did too.Pandemonium wrote:She even adjusts for daylight savings time.
