How are you today?

Hey! Can't imagine? Who just asked if you're gonna need bail money? :ROFLMAO:

Heck, I'd even drive the backhoe if you need...er...."space" dug up in your back yard.

After all, what are friends for?
Love you too Georgiagranny! No bail needed at this time. Maybe in the future huh? Forgot to mention. Been there done that.
 

@Paulina Sure. That's what my emergency fund is for. Some folks keep an emergency fund equal to six months' salary. Pfffft. I keep an emergency fund in case my friends need bail money.

I have...um...interesting friends.
Me too. Curious. My husband still rides a Harley. Not (or never) a follower what so ever. He had 2 friends that rode with him without joining the Hell's Angels or other local chapters. Once again, not a follower along with his buds too boot. Well his 2 Harleyster friends died but I'll tell you. If and when they were in any trouble what so ever, we'd be right there for them in an instant. My husband is still alive, still enjoys his 3rd Harley now and if he needs help? He's got me.

I’m relieved today. My brother in law finally found a job. He’s been unemployed for 9 months and about to lose his beautiful home. Now he has 2 job offers. We’d offered to help him out financially but he declined our offer. I’m so happy for him. He’s a good person.
I remember back in 1998 I was applying for jobs everywhere. Then I finally got one, and about 6 months later I get a letter from this other job telling me that they decided to go with someone else.

I looked back to see when I applied for this job, and it was 9 months! So I wrote back to them thanking them for their information, but I had to regretfully tell him I starved to death 5 months ago waiting for their replies.

I don't know if they ever read it or not but I felt so good sending that.

Nine months later they responded? Good thing you weren’t holding your breath. I know that my brother in-law has applied for hundreds of jobs. I don’t know how many of them responded back. I do know that he’s called back plenty of times after the interview. Oddly enough the company that offered him the job, he hadn’t even applied for. It’s a company that he’d done some contract work for at some point in time and they contacted him.

Nine months later is far too long to wait for a response. Good for you for writing back. Maybe it changed the way they’do things in the future. You’d hope so.

It's gonna be a good. Hot and sunny, but more like what we're used to here except without the extreme humidity.

DD and I are going to visit the "Clarence" shelves at Lowe's early, then she's taking DGD to meet a friend at the 'Bama state line. That'll be a 3-hour RT drive. DGD is spending the weekend with her friend and friend's DD since it'll be a long while before she can visit again. She's having spinal surgery the day after Labor Day and will probably be out of commission for 2-3 months so no road trips, not even short ones.

I've sat around on my dead center for most of the week, meaning there's plenty that should probably be Optimized and/or Maximized today.

Okay, then, gonna throw on my glad rags and get a wiggle on. Things to do. Places to go. People to see. And stuff.
 
My cucumber plant fought back while I was trying to move it out of the way of the mower and I had a big itchy rash around my arms and neck. Beware!
Ours are languishing on the kitchen counter. There's no more room in the giant pickle jar and I haven't felt like having cucumber and tomato salad. Yeesh, those cucumbers and tomatoes just keep on coming.
 
Today it's very hot and I have hayfever symptoms - I noticed earlier that the gardeners were here and were loading numerous bags of cut grass into their van - I guess that might be why my eyes are sore and I have a sore throat :( The good news is that I don't have much to do today so, I can take it easy. I have watered all the flowers on the balcony and put some more washing out to dry. I will probably take my new book outside later and sit in the sun for a while.

Oh! I didn't tell you about my new sunhat which i bought while we were away! It's one of those big floppy ones which shade your whole face and neck so, if you happen to pass by and hear someone sneezing from under a big hat, you will know it's me 👒 :)

Have a fabulous Friday everyone :love:

That's a lovely picture you're painting with your sun hat and your book. :) What book are you reading?

Thank you, I think it's the perfect way to spend a hot afternoon. It's Janice Hallett, The Examiner.

Her format is to tell the story through a series of reports, notes and email exchanges between the characters. The idea is that you try to solve the mystery before it's revealed.

The Examiner is about a group of art students who, as part of their project, go on a trip. The task is to try to work out what happened because, certainly something does. There are lots of twists, turns and secrets.

The format is probably not everyone's cup of tea but, I like it. I really liked The Twyford Code and The Appeal. :)

I actually really enjoy that way of storytelling. It sounds like a really fun read. Ima look it up. :)

Her books are also on Kindle at around £3.99 (5.41 USD).

The Alperton Angels is about a journalist investigating an old case concerning a small cult. I found it interesting. :)

I found, Janice Hallett, The Examiner on Amazon and it's available on Audible as well, which is great. :) I'll look into, The Alperton Angels.
