Good Afternoon
Kabu, I think prices are going up everywhere and it seems to me like there are far too many people that don't want to work. If I'm lucky enough to get a contractor for an estimate then it's so much money that nobody would want to pay for the home improvement project. For my kitchen floor, they want $5,000 and I'm not paying that much money. I'm still hoping but my floor may not get done this year.

Costs have gone crazy sadly. I'll be glad if/when relief comes.

American Dreaming is all about profit-making, getting rich/powerful. What began as an ideal of possibility has become a monster overtaking all other ideals and intentions of the Founding Fathers.

They should start an 'Adopt a construction worker' program. I could use a couple here too!

I think it is the times we live in here. It didn't used to be that way (if I remember right).

Put a shallow pan of water in front of the fan so the air blows over -
this will chill the air more than just having the fan alone. Naps in the heat of the day may not be possible, but maybe you could go to an air-conditioned movie or restaurant if you need relief from the heat.

Good afternoon
You haven't lived too long at all. Our planet needs more good souls such as yourself. It is just that the debt ceiling is through the roof and nothing comes cheap these days. Just yesterday I paid $6.00 for a small bag of frozen Ore-Ida Crispers. This is something that was $3.69 just a year ago. I am just thankful that my brother-in-law owns a construction company and that they give us big breaks with labor costs.
