Connie...the noose is getting tighter on his neck as we read here....its his own fault too!!! Such an idiot!!! How many times do I have to give him extra rope to hang himself?? I am done!!! I have a paper on my desk with HELP WANTED on it that he saw and asked Rick if he needed to look for another job! Rick didn't know about it...now how did he "know" that was on my desk? Snooping I guess!!!! He is a back stabber and lies each and every time I ask him something!!! Fed up I am!!! Now that he "knows" about the HELP WANTED, I guess I will put it up at the hardware store and see what I get applying for the job! He thinks I put ad in paper!!! LMAO!!!!!!!!
It is HOT here also and the air is also thick...going to be really hot tomorrow and friday even hotter!!! You take care Connie!!!

Hi Connie,
I am right there with you on not being out in the heat+humidity. I also have asthma, and I thank God every single day for air conditioning. I do not know how asthmatics survived summers like this before its invention. They probably died a lot younger.
I can take desert heat, but not these soupy days where I have trouble breathing the second I walk out the door. These are the ones I can't handle. I do not live anywhere near a desert, nor do any of my loved ones. Michigan, Pennsylvania and New York all have high humidity during the summer. If one of them lived in Arizona, I'd get a temporary apartment there during this time of year. Unfortunately, the only person I know in Arizona is our Maggie, and I don't even know here, except for cyberspace here.

Seek always to do some good, somewhere. Every man has to seek in his own way to realize his true worth. You must give some time to your fellow man. For remember, you don't live in a world all your own. Your brothers are here too.

Connie and Trish:
The high heat and humidity did me in when I was in Louisiana. I couldn't breath in that weather ... I felt like an elephant was on my chest. And I have mild asthma. Can imagine what it's like for you guys.
It was 105 here today (Thursday) and I was running (or limping) in and out doing laundry ... no wondering I felt like **** all day. Headache, etc. Glad the laundry is done now for the next two weeks, though.

Good evening OFF family and hope everyone's having a safe Independence Day!
Thank goodness this wedding business is over with. Ugh! I was so busy at the reception that I hardly sat down except to eat just a little and I mean just a little cuz it was so hot.
The wedding itself was beautiful, no glitches at all.
The reception was weird and I'm just being honest here...my step daughter and her new groom are LARPERS (live action role playing) and their larper friends are just different people.
After they ate and did the bride/groom daddy/daughter dance they all went outside and had sword fights. Now it was fun watching the little kids play but the adults? Guess I'm getting old and would have liked to see the bride/groom talk with their guests. The place was suppose to be air conditioned but it really wasn't. It had 2 little air conditioners on the each end of the banquet hall (that belong in a bedroom not a banquet hall).
Can you say "false advertising?"!!!!!
So all the family and other guests who were not larpers took off after eating. Don't blame them, it was hot and nasty in the banquet hall and they had all ready killed the beer keg. I have lots of wine left over that I paid for and I'm not much of a drinker so it will last me a long, long time!
Hubby was upset, he had to go find the bride/groom, they were over 2 hours late for the reception. Hubby noticed his ex and her hubby wasn't there so he had SIL call his ex to see where everyone was at. Ex and her hubby were at a pub drinking and sitting in air conditioning. She said the wedding party was at the park behind Dean's Ice Cream place to take more pictures. Hubby and his BF went to go get them and tell them to get their asses to the reception. So a little drama took place with that encounter. The bride just thought she was 45 min late. Nope, by then it's was almost 3 hours. Rude behavior their on the bride/groom's part.
Okay it's their day but when you have 125 guest waiting for you that is just arrogant on their part.
I just told my hubby that if people left early it's all them. They had one of their larper friends who was also the best man to be their DJ. Well he was too busy sword fighting to DJ and his music sucked. So everyone left when they started sword fighting.
Of course bride wanted to dance til 2am but no one was left in the reception hall when she got back in from playing with the swords. In fact I was busy cleaning up everyone's place settings, then we had to put the table and chairs away and clean up the kitchen area. We were home by midnight and exhausted. But I believe the bride and groom had fun just being with their larping friends and that's fine.
We have another wedding in August on hubby's side of the family. Now at that wedding I will sit down and enjoy the company! LOL
Really everything went well for the bride/groom expectations.

HUGS
Judy, I can kinda look back on the "crisis" and just shake my head. They will have pictures but they sure did miss a big part of their reception.
Maybe later they will stop and think that what they chose to do at the reception wasn't the "correct" thing to do. Hubby said he raised he better than that.
Now I just pray that they stay married. I see humps in the road! Ugh!

Debbie,
I am so sorry that you and your hubby were not able to enjoy his own daughter's wedding. It sounds as if your stepdaughter and her husband are very selfish, and I don't like to judge. I have been to many weddings for my son and daughter's friends. Plus, I was the mother of the bride and groom at two. None of them had planned an activity to the exclusion of most of the guests. Plus, they all made sure that the DJs or band played music appropriate for all audiences.
My daughter's wedding was lovely, even though she was able to pull it off for under $5,000 in 2001. My brother catered it, and she used the church hall for the reception. They bought all the food at BJs, and the whole family participated in assisting my brother in the huge kitchen at the church hall. Neil hired servers he worked with in the restaurants he had worked in over the years, and Colleen paid them a flat fee for a night of work.
Because her husband did not want dancing at the wedding, she did not need a dance floor, which was fine. She had an evening wedding on the Friday between Christmas and New Year. The church was decorated to the hilt with poinsettia and lights already for the holidays. All she needed were some candle stands, which she borrowed from her Michigan church.
Because the church hall is not attached to the church, she put luminaries on the path between the buildings and Neil made sure that the appetizers and soft drinks, (Colleen and Trent were adament there would be no alcohol at their wedding for religious reasons.) were served to the guests as they waited for the family pictures to be taken care of in the front of the church.
Because the church has a wonderful sound system in the hall, she arranged for her brother to make sure that certain music kept playing throughout the reception. She also had a table set up in the hall with a variety of photos of both her and Trent from birth till their engagement.
They weren't leaving for their honeymoon till the next day, so they stayed at the Sheraton where the Michigan guests were staying for their wedding night. And, because a huge amount of the wedding party was from Michigan, as Trent's four brothers and a cousin from Maine were all in tuxedoes, my ex and I had to go to the hotel to collect the tuxes, and Colleen's wedding gown before they left for Williamsburg.
My son's wedding was a blast, because they both studied acting and music in college and graduate school. The father/daughter dance was actually both of them singing and dancing to a special song they picked out. I picked out Carole King's "Child of Mine," for Chris and I to dance to. I don't remember the bride/groom's song, but they both were trained to dance for shows, so theirs was a professional performance, with an awesome dip at the very end. Each of them sang a song to the other, with my daughter-in-law doing a killer rendition of Etta James' "At Last." Chris sat at the keyboard and sang/played a Billy Joel's "Always a Woman." A lot of their friends performed songs for the couple throughout the reception.
Casey's parents dropped a small bundle for the reception, but because of religious reasons, did not want alcohol served. Chris and Casey had to talk at great length about their friends in acting. Chris offered to pay for a wine/beer service at the reception, and they agreed because there would be no hard liquor served. Everybody was happy.
Sorry to go on about my kids, but I had fun at both of their weddings. The bride and groom did make a point of visiting with all of the tables. Also, Casey, my daughter-in-law made a special point of grabbing my special needs nephew to come up to the dance floor on the first open dance. They are the same age, and Neil is shy.
