Who has had that killing frost?
Comments (119)Mediterranean , EH. There are some damn hot areas in the Mediterranean. My sister was doing a story on these oyster farming women in Tunisia. It was 115,â¦.everyday she was there. That wind comes across the Saharra and it is not exactly Californian. LOLâ¦..As a Texan, I much prefer taking a swim on a 110 degree day than shoveling snow in 0F. I have done both. We are planting brussels sprouts here. Just planted some sugarsnaps and green manure. Working in my cactus garden, planting several small seedling trees and seedling perennials today. Amarillo does get some cooler nights in the summer than Dallas. I think we all get acclimatized to where we are at and it feels like home. I do think that weather grumbling and gloating are ALL due. I appreciate knowing that someone in northern Michigan has a nice moist cool green patch and no sweat rings under their pits when I am in the dog days of summer. It keeps me going when I am b*tching about the extreme heat has shriveled the grass and gives me hope for the cool beautiful fall. Like todayâ¦75F and sunny. Perfect Mediterranean weather. OOPS, a weather gloat. I hope it gives hope to those struggling with the intemperate woes of winter....See Morehas anyone else had anything close to this experience?
Comments (18)Wow so many with the same situation, although mine is not because of him losing a job in this economy. I always seemed to find the really nice guys that lacked motivation - I married two of them. My first husband was in finance, and figured that he could work fewer hours and manage to make enough. I was working and had two young children and he did not think that his free time was for housework or watching the kids even when I went to the gym - I had to get a sitter so that he would not have to commit to being home. No matter how much counseling or discussion between us could make him see how it felt to have him sitting on the front porch reading the paper while I was going crazy in the house getting lunches ready and the kids and me out of the house every morning. The neighbors even noticed! I felt if I was going to live like a single parent, I might as well be able to date, so I divorced him. And then I did the same thing again! What the heck was wrong with me?? When I met my second husband, he had a job, but all of his jobs were not long-term or careers -- he was also an under-employed carpenter. He was an awesome person, and a great step-father to my kids, but the housework was not even on his radar. However, with his more "flexible schedule", he was the one that could get a sick kid at school or be home if needed, so he was a bit of a house husband and that allowed me to concentrate on my job. But once the kids were off at college, I joked that he was my oldest child, but it really wasn't a joke. Unfortunately he died suddenly a little over a year ago, and although I miss him terribly, I am not going to make the same mistake again. I'm fortunate that I can support myself as I've been doing it for years anyway. If there is a next guy he will have to be at least where I am financially (which is not much!) and be interested in a true partnership. We all have to put up with stupid bosses and policies, but how can these men think it's OK to put their pride before their employment because they won't tolerate whatever they don't agree with? You can't be an employee and do things any way you want - we all have to suck it up for a job. If these guys didn't have a wife, I wonder what would they do? Please understand, I'm not knocking your hubbies - especially after the men I married! Many of you seem to be adapting to the new normal in your households. What makes it work is a sense of teamwork between the two of you, each doing what needs to be done. A wife can't be the breadwinner and then come home to housework & cooking while the husband plays - that situation won't last long without resentment....See MoreHas anyone else had a bad experience with Kitchen Pro Cabinetry?
