 I read temps will go up, if they have already, to 119!!  Hope the weather breaks soon.

I'm sorry but I don't understand your reply.  What rhetorical question do you mean?

By rhetorical I mean I don’t expect a reply . I don’t expect Mimi to divulge any personal information.  This is in contrast to a literal question which is to be taken at face value.

So much of the world mourns with the people of Great Britain. 
It’s a great loss.
Her Majesty gave her entire life to her country and set an example for all of us. 

A very sad day. And a new beginning.

 May Queen Elizabeth be granted peaceful eternal rest and all those she loved and cared for in her lifetime be granted healing and comfort.

She was a true leader . The world mourns the passing of another person from the greatest generation.

We need the strength and courage that the Queen and so many of that generation showed in challenging times now more than ever.

@Sea Dog Check out what I found at Harbour Town.

 

 

I think I like the cruise ships better....

 

 

 

That's the boat that goes out on sunset cruises and my best friend often plays on it. Still if you get a chance go see Dave Kemmerly play at the Salty Dog on the deck from 5-9pm today and tomorrow. 

Cheers!

I saw that when it got released. Very powerful. What a beautiful lady, human being and Queen. The world has lost one of the great ones.

[Ocean Boy]

I had not heard the news until I opened this thread. What a sad day. She has been the Queen of England for my entire life. I sincerely hope that Charles and William can fill a huge void.

[Sea Dog]

@grapau27 @sgmn How appropriate that this happened today.

Okay, I'm whiney. LOL.  And we have some familiarity with wildfires. We don't have air conditioning, usually we have fog. 

I would absolutely die without ac. I don’t see how y’all do it.
 

@sgmn @grapau27My condolences to you and your country. She was an amazing person and did so much for the UK. She was always so dignified. May she Rest In Peace.

I have always greatly admired our Queen.  My daughter’s middle name is Elizabeth.

Many thanks to all of you for your kind words.

Her Majesty was loved by most of us and will be sadly missed.

The UK is to have 12 days of mourning and a state funeral for our beloved Queen.

Graham.

[sgmn]

Thank you everyone for your thoughts and kind words on the loss of our Queen. She's been the last remaining constant of all my life and of most people in the UK, and its a bit of a shock that she's gone. She's been such a part of the fabric of our country it's difficult to take it in that shes gone 💔 

RIP

God Save the King

This was such a sign.  Just after it was announced and the flag was lowered, this wonderful rainbow appeared over Windsor Castle. Her favourite residence and where she has lived for the last few years of her life

[akcruz]

My condolences to all those in the UK.

 

 

i was down at the beach today with some friends when a shower came through.  Water was rough afterwards and went to take a picture of the water, realized as taking it there was a rainbow.  Had heard of the queens passing while there but not the rainbow at Windsor.  Guess she was everywhere today 💔.

Both Jack and I grew up with no AC.  Me, in NY, he in Israel.  Our 1st apt., thankfully had ac.  We bought my parents an ac window unit which I suspect was hardly used.  They said it was too cold!

 

I had a weird experience at the Kroger deli counter.  This could almost have happened to Sue

@LionesssI know she could tell it better:

 

Me:  Can I please have 1/2 pound Boar's Head Genoa salami sliced thin?

DL (deli lady): Did not respond and seemed to not understand.

 

Me: I repeated, spoke louder and slower

DL: No response but took out the roast beef.

 

Me: No that's not salami as I commenced to point to it in the showcase.

DL:  No response but took out different roast beef

 

Me: Can you please come around to my side so I can show you the salami I want?

DL: No response and took out garlic baloney

 

Me: Jack come here and help us please?  Leave it to a guy with an Israeli accent to get through to her.

 

Me:   Now I'll have 1/2 pound of lemon pepper turkey

DL:  Finally got it right after 2 failed attempts taking out other deli meat

 

Me: (after I had everything in my cart) Excuse me, can I have 1/3 pound of the lemon pepper turkey you just gave me

DL; We don't have that

 

Me: You just cut 1/2 pound.  I picked up the pkg from my cart and showed it to her.

DL: She just shrugged her shoulders

 

Me: Have a nice day, walking away in disbelief.

 

If this was 50 years ago, I bet I would have been on Candid Camera.

 

We were in a rush to get home. Should I have reported her? I feel the store was at fault, not her personally or maybe I have a soft heart🤨
