Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

General BS forum I guess anything is fair game in here. Just watch the subject matter doesn't get carried away too much. |

Heat
My area of Texas had a new record yesterday at 111 degrees. I only went outside a couple times for a few minutes at a time so that Duchess my chihuahua could do her business. Fortunately I have stationary bicycles for exercise indoors.
My electric company has a nifty info forecast based on recent usage it will forecast your monthly electric bill. Mine will be at least double the usual. But I am grateful to have AC, as I don't think I could manage this current heat wave without it.

You can keep it. It's been cool enough here that I had my windows open last night.

I upgraded my bike lighting so that I can take rides around dusk when it is a bit cooler. I don't suppose 111 drops down too low at night, though. And dusk isn't the safest time of the day to ride.
I presume AC is pretty much standard where you live, Lucille?

AC is a basic necessity here. Maybe some people in rural areas who can sleep out on the porch or who can leave their windows open might not have it, and perhaps those in dire poverty are unable to afford it, but everyone else does.

I don't think I would want to live here in north Florida without AC. The heat and humidity can be quite a burden three quarters of the year. This time of year, just walking down to the mail box and back will have me really appreciating the AC when I walk back into the house.

I have to have my air-conditioning. My wife mentioned the other day the electric bill will be high next cycle. I said, worth every penny.
