Oh by the way, I received the dreaded unsolicited letter from AARP last week offering to let me join. You know what that means for me next month.

Your going to become a grouchy old man...sort of like T?

Please, not that!!!!

If it helps, I've been a grouchy old man since age 17...

Of course, he is only 18 now...

Well we've pretty well established how old I am.

Not really - AARP sends out these invites based on how old they THINK you are... i think most folks get them around age 50, though...

You have hit the nail on the head

(metaphorically speaking

). Please don't hit me on the head.

Other than a few minor things, I don't think I would change a thing. I have a great family, a good job and good friends, seriously.

Well, esp. considering my current job situation, not sure i could make the same claim, and i guess i've been somewhat slow about learning some of the life's lessons.

Still, as unpleasant as the job can be, it sure beats bagging groceries, mopping floors, loading trucks, or digging ditches(all of which i've done as jobs...)

I have had a very satisfying career (there were bumps, I think we all have them). I consider myself very very lucky.

I think I killed the Anti-Thread. I changed the title to Heathen Anti-Thread at 8:19 this morning and there have been no more reponses.

What are you talking about. I was in Houston for a week one September (00 not sure) the temperature was 103 in the day and went down to 90 at night.

Houston is FAR worse than the Dallas area (where i am now). i went to school in Houston for 4 years. Almost every time the first year or so that i went to the airport (Christmas, Easter, end of year) - the "thermometer" on a bank i would pass read 95 degrees/95% humidity...

Dallas gets hot, but the humidity isn't too bad...

Dallas is equally bad in my book. In Houston the heat rarely goes over upper 90's, or did when I was a kid in the 70's, but Robert is right, the humidity is bad. I remember going to the rec pool as a kid to swim. It was hard to tell if people had already been in the pool or not, they were just as wet either way.

San Antonio is the worst. I think it gets up to around 100 degrees there and humidity is still around 90%.

Still have never been to S.A. They have (or had) a good shoe company there...

Well, as far as heat, yeah, Dallas does get hotter, but i can sit outside (if in the shade) and not get drenched in sweat... and i couldn't do that in Houston. Dallas is a sauna, but Houston is a steam bath.

Stress testing? See how many pounds you can pile on before you get a failure?

(Okay, I just grossed myself out, and that's hard to do...)
