Tja Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 Did more cleaning, and, some laundry. Tomorrow, meeting some friends for lunch, some antiquing, and buying blueberries. (We're at the peak, for blueberries, in New Jersey) I freeze them, in batches, and use them in the winter for that taste of summer. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GeekyGamerZack Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 Winter in my piece of subtropical paradise feels like everywhere else's early spring. Pleasant, but leaving me wanting a colder winter season. It only feels wintry when overcast, but at least it means more time for diving throughout the year. ...is what I'd be saying if I weren't procrastinating over the scuba course I've been yearning to do since childhood. 😅 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Funnily enough, the Gold Coast is basically Australia's answer to Florida, and it attracts tourists from all over throughout the year. Aside from similar landscape and weather, it has a number of Australia's major theme parks in one place (the "Big Three" - Sea World, Warner Bros. Movie World and Wet 'n Wild - plus DreamWorld, White Water World, Paradise Country and Timezone, among others), and a fair number of suburbs share names with places in Florida, with Miami being one notable example. Believe it or not, we even have our own Spring Break-esque two-week event in the second half of November known as Schoolies, which is the one time of year I avoid Surfers Paradise! 😜 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

This year the yield will possibly be not that good. I have some blueberries left from the last summer (in my freezer, of course) but this year I am afraid I cannot find them as much as I would like to. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ColeHW34 Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 I prefer OFF! with any strong smelling oil. Masks any scent your body produces so mosquitoes don't consider you a tasty snack. Also go when it is windy even a little, this makes it even harder for mosquitoes to find and bite you. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Like a Hurricane Posted July 4, 2019 Share Posted July 4, 2019 Sometimes I have felt so frustrated with some mainly sexual male gays that I have almost decided to become straight... because of their superficiality, because of their sexuality (of course) and because of their behavior that I have never been able to understand at all (that's maybe just my personal shortcoming). I am wondering if anyone else have similar experiences... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Tja Posted July 5, 2019 Share Posted July 5, 2019 Not bad @ColeHW. Didn't do much. Made plans, then just sat around all day instead. Found more laundry, and brought a few things down from upstairs. Getting ready to pick a movie. How about you? 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sounds good. I've been watching "restore faith in humanity" type vids, on youtube. Gives me the warm fuzzies. That, and playing Chicken Invaders 5. I try not to do much gobbling, as I'm down about 100 lbs. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
