Sorry you have to tent. When we had to do that the company that was doing the work gave us special bags to use. We had to double bag anything edible that we were going to keep that we couldn't keep in the refrigerator or freezer.

Same. They told us the sealed food packages will be OK, as in the ones that have not been opened yet. The cans too, will be OK.

There are different types of termites. In Ohio we have subterranean termites and the exterminator digs a trench around the foundation of the house and puts poison in it. In California the termites are usually treated by tenting.

QOTD: Hot. 95-97F. And burning skin when exposed to sun.

"You know you live in a south when you see people willing to walk a mile so they can park their car in a shade." Maybe not a mile, but I don't mind parking farther from the doors (Costco, Sam's, any other store i plan to be in more than 10 min) if my car could be in a shade. My current car - Santa Fe Has very good AC and vented seats. In 90 sec I can feel the cold coming at me from the vents and the seat. My car is set at 65 -66K. Yes, it gets cool. Plus I put IR/UV coating on my windows, it really makes a difference.

Vacation is over and we had fun. We had great time, it was great to see my sister who was unbelievable great hostess. One funny thing - when we arrived, there were doing some water lines refit and there was no running water in her house on Monday and Tuesday. Tuesday we got a train to visit Krakow, but the 2 days - showering with bottled water was funny.

I think Keith enjoyed seeing part of Europe I grew up in, and overall we had fun. My sister loves Keith. He is a very first guy I'm with she really likes. Yea, the others were no good for me, I know that, but her dislike of al of them were often difficult to handle.

Vacation is over - and I regained app 6 lbs. And ...I am still on eating like "on vacation". Unfortunately that causes a lot of inflammation and pain. Lots of. I need to be on keto-paleo type diet, not "whatever I want to eat diet".
When in Poland I fell and bummed one of my knee. Then when we were flying back, I wore compression socks. Unfortunately the hematoma in the knee probably got turned into a blood clot - Once we got back I had a problem bending my knee. I tried different things, but after 2 weeks gave up, called my doc and got steroid injection in that knee on Monday. Since then, I regained 90% if mobility in that knee. I still use lotion and IF lamp, but the improvement is huge.

The heat really bothers me. My body doesn't properly regulate my body heat and I'm miserable when I'm hot.

I had my lab work done and looks like I need to be on the hormones I'm on now. 2-3 years ago there were signs that my pituitary could be improving, but now my hormones' levels are still very low, some critically low without supplementation, that I need to be sure I dose regularly, and have extra as needed. Bummer.

Beside that - things are ok.

good to see everyone still participating.

P.S. I read some posts but I was either busy or in a bad "head space" to post anything.
