I just luv this one . . . ;)

Dear Diary:

May 30th:
Just moved to Dallas...Now this is a city that knows how to live!! Beautiful sunny days and warm balmy evenings. What a place! Watched the sunset from a park lying on a blanket. It was beautiful. I've finally found my home. I love it here. :cool:

June 14th:
Really heating up. Got to 100 today. Not a problem. Live in an air-conditioned home, drive an air-conditioned car. What a pleasure to see the sun everyday like this. I'm turning into a sun worshipper. :sing:

June 30th:
Had the backyard landscaped with western plants today. Lots of cactus and rocks. What a breeze to maintain. No more mowing for me. Another scorcher today, but I love it here. :bowdown:

July 10th:
The temperature hasn't been below 100 all week. How do people get used to this kind of heat? :erp: At least it's nice and windy though. But getting used to it is taking longer that I expected.

July 15th:
Fell asleep by the pool. (Got 3rd degree burns over 60% of my body.) :headache: Missed 2 days of work, what a dumb thing to do. I learned my lesson though. Got to respect the ol' sun in a climate like this.

July 20th:
I missed Morgan (our cat) sneaking into the car when I left this morning. By the time I got out to the hot car for lunch, Morgan had swollen up to the size of a shopping bag and exploded all over the $2,000 worth of leather upholstery. I told the kids that she ran away. The car now smells like Kibbles and SH***S. :grumpy: No more pets in this heat.

July 25th:
The wind sucks. It feels like a giant freaking blow dryer!! And it's hot as hell. The home air-conditioner is on the fritz and the AC repairman charged $200 just to drive by and tell me he needed to order parts. :faint:

July 30th:
Been sleeping outside by the pool for 3 nights now. $1,500 in damn house payments and we can't even go inside. :bawl: Why did I ever come here?

Aug. 4th:
It's 115 degrees. Finally got the air-conditioner fixed today. It cost $500 and gets the temperature down to about 90. :irate: Stupid repairman pissed in my pool. I hate this stupid city.

Aug. 8th:
If another wise ass cracks, "Hot enough for you today?", I'm going to tear his throat out. Damn heat. By the time I get to work the radiator is boiling over, my clothes are soaking wet, and I smell like roasted freaking Garfield!! :eh:

Aug. 9th:
Tried to run some errands after work. Wore shorts, and sat on the black leather seats in the ol' car. I thought my a** was on fire. :censored: I lost 2 layers of flesh. Now my car smells like burnt a** & fried cat.

Aug. 10th:
The weather report might as well be a d**n recording. Hot and sunny. It's been too hot to do sh** for 2 damn months and the weatherman says it might really warm up next week. Doesn't it ever rain in this barren d**n desert?? Water rationing will be next, so $1700 worth of cactus just might dry up and blow into the d**n pool. :hork: Even the cactus can't live in this heat.

Aug. 14th:
Welcome to HELL!!! Temperature got to 113 today. Forgot to crack the window and blew the d**n windshield out of the Lincoln. :gnash: The installer came to fix it and said, "Hot enough for you today?" :frellyou: My wife had to spend the $1500 house payment to bail me out of jail.

:rollin: But if it makes you happy, it was chilly today and I had to wear pants and a longsleeved shirt. Oh and once again it rained. :mad:

Houston beats Dallas in terrible opressive heat and humidity.

My '66 Mustang's AC is out too. 100+ temp, with no AC and black interior is not very fun.

Heat doesn't bother me much anymore. Well, other than when I first open my car door. I guess being cold and hypo all the time does have it's advantages! whoohoo!

Agree re: Houston. I grew up there, and moved to Dallas for a job. Now when I visit, the minute I get off the plane I feel like I am breathing water. Now I remember why I kept my hair permed all those years.

Dallas:

Better looking women than Houston
Better bars than Houston
Better concert venues than Houston
Better Sports teams than Houston
Much Less Police corruption than Houston
Less Pollution than Houston

I'm really starting to hate my hometown... more.

Owlman, Texans are allowed to travel without a visa. Come and see if you like Dallas better.

I've been looking for jobs up there (a girl was just as much motivation for going there as actual work) but no real luck.

Oh the Texas heat... I remember lol! We had no ac so I slept in a wet T and the only way to start the day was to drink a huge glass of water or you could forget the rest of it.

And right now I sit here shivering, I can count the days I got to wear shorts almost on the fingers of one hand, and yes it's raining again... the summer's GOT to start soon, after all, it's only middle of August...
at least in the UK the rain seemed soft, but here... *shiver*

RustySlinky, someone dropped some seeds once in a flower bed at college... we had a huge watermelon grow there but I never got to try it. Never succeeded growing anything at home except tomatos, it all died including various varieties of melons. Enough heat but lack of water.
