Need: I may have misled you on the vase. It was more of the way the florist packaged the vase in a type of square-ish cardboard container that allowed for a snug fit on the vase. You're welcome.


That is good that you can report bad roads/pot holes. I presently have a bunch of things reported using see click fix 311.

That had to be frightening, Golden. I haven’t experienced any kind of dangerous current. I went tubing down the river in Tickfaw, Louisiana with my friends when I was younger.

I had a friend who was a world traveler. He came to Louisiana from France with barely any money.

He ended up being a chef in local restaurants. He had big dreams.

Oh, how I miss him. That French accent! His beautiful adventurous spirit always made me smile.

Anyway, eventually he invested in two businesses. Both were successful and he loved traveling all over the world.

He died white water rafting in Ecuador. When the boat turned over he immediately rushed to save his son. He was able to save his son but lost his life in the process.

Need - very sad. I was once in a strong current and it was very scary fighting to get to shore. It's not the same as a rip tide but still dangerous. I never swam there again.

Golden,

Yes, Panama City Beach. We went there every summer growing up. My dad grew up in that area.

Riptides are dangerous. When the double red flags are blowing, people need to stay out of the Gulf of Mexico.

Crazy airport delays recently! My daughter is flying to Denver for the Fourth. I hope that she won’t experience the flight cancellations and delays that are happening right now.

Golden - despite all the dire weather warnings we've had the wind shift to the north west so it's been a beautiful day here.

Rest in peace, Ryan Mallett, (former NFL player) and others who died in the riptides in Panama City Beach.

Several people have died in the riptides. So sad. I went to this beach every summer with my family growing up. My father grew up in this area.

We love going to the gulf coast and have gone many times. The riptides are dangerous and can be deadly. My dad always checked the safety status of the beach before he allowed us to swim in the gulf.

The jellyfish can be bad also. When the purple flag is flying it signifies that there are lots of jellyfish present in the water. The green, yellow and red flags are for the riptides.

cw - hope the smoke clears soon for you and all affected down into the US. The rain doesn't clear it?

Llama,

Yes, we can report bad roads, some roads have been repaired but we have always had bad roads.

I looked up non tipping vases online. That’s the way to go. I thank you for this information.

It's been two hours since the WTF posts, hopefully they've moved on now.😒

Smoke has moved into my region and is supposed to hang around for the next few days (we had worst air in Ontario yesterday, yay). I'm almost out of clean clothes but have been waiting for all the rain to pass so I can hang my laundry out on the line, now I'm not sure what to do.

Need: It was actually a single bud vase that held a white rose. I recall that I used that florist's service at least two or three times.

Sorry that your roads are so bad. Does your county have an app where you can report potholes to be repaired? We do, among other things such as debris/dumped trash violation.

These wild fires in Canada are causing horrible air quality. Just heard that Chicago has awful air quality right now. Very sad situation for so many.

Llama,

That sounds wonderful! A no tip vase is so practical for us. Louisiana roads are some of the absolute worst! Seriously, our pot holes are awful.

We did it! LSU beat Florida last night in the Collage World Series.

18 - 4

We are the champions! Yay!

Techie,

It was an exciting game! I’m sure there were huge celebrations going on in Omaha and Baton Rouge last night.

Need: I used to use a florist that could provide you with a no-tip container/vase.

Your DH's containers are a good solution.

LSU is going to have its good pitchers back for the next game so they should be back - at least competitive!

cw,

You know how we were discussing vases for the cemetery the other day?

I like to bring flowers to the hospital, nursing home, my friends when visiting, etc.

I would always become frustrated with how do I travel with them in my car, without the vase and flowers tumbling over in my car.

Anyway, I thought of an easy fix. My husband buys the preserves that come in tall slim bottles. Forgive me, I can’t remember the brand name. I save the empty jars. I place a few flowers in them. These jars fit perfectly in my cup holder so I can transport my flowers safely.

My sister has gradually been getting more and more involved in helping her MIL, they've always had an arms length relationship and sis gets so frustrated trying to get necessary things done (mostly shopping and appointments) without being seen as bossy and controlling. I can't help but smirk to myself whenever she complains.

I missed the last LSU baseball game. Oh my gosh, glad I did! Florida beat us very badly!

Final score 24 - 4

We only have one more shot at winning the Collage World Series.
