The humidity better break here soon! I’d rather torrential downpours than soupy hard to breathe frizzes your hair on impact walls of humidity wet thick air.
Sadly, hair isn't my problem, but I am getting tired of all the salt shakers turning into a salt licks. I have a brand new container of salt that has also turned into a pillar. I'm going to have to cut it out and run it in my food processor to get it back to granulated form. I don't remember a summer, even down here, that has had a continuous amount of humidity. Or maybe I'm just a little more sensitive to it as I age.

Same thing happened to a new bottle of Mrs. Dash herbs. It's as hard as a brick inside, after being open for only two weeks (with the cap on, by the way). :banghead:

Puzzling question... I am 72 years old and have been living alone for 20 years now. I have lived in places with central air and also in places with no A/C other then a couple of small window A/C's. I have never seen this happen. What is different all of a sudden to cause that. I thought maybe it was the new apartment because the humidity is on the high side, but since it seems to be happening to others, why haven't I ever experienced this before? Does anyone know? Could it be all the hot, moist air rising up from D.C.?

Why do people lie about sleeping?

Me, under a blankie, lying on the couch ....
Mike: Did you have a snooze, Baby?
Me: Nope.
Mike: Did the Jays win?
(It was 8-4 before I closed my eyes, Dan and Buck sound happy). Me: Yup.

My day started out wobbly, but it got better.

Mike and I went for a drive to Niagara on the Lake.
We stopped to use the facilities at Gretzky’s and Mike bought some beer.

We had a late lunch at our usual place. On the patio for the first time.

Then we went into two shops on the main drag, and walked down to the water, where we literally just sat on a bench for half of an hour. The view restored my soul.

On the way back to the car, I took a call from the boss, wherein she offered me a site. She needs to know by tomorrow, but I gave her a 90% commitment already. (Don’t want to look too eager. 😉)

So all these people have put together amazing, beautiful islands in Animal Crossing. And in comparison mine just looks like a turtle put it together. I'm trying to make mine look like I put effort into it, but it takes a lot of money, and even more time.

And yes, I realize you do not care, but let me live my life.

I always have the prettiest town/island/farm.

Yes, it takes money and time. But the more money you spend, the less time you need to invest. Speaking from experience.

By money, I mean in game money. There's no real money transactions in Animal Crossing (since I know some people like to spend money to cheat in their games). But in Animal Crossing it literally takes a long time to do anything. To move someone's house, you need to wait until the next day for the "construction" period. So essentially you get up to 10 villagers. At the beginning of the game, you really don't have a vision for your island, or at least I don't. So I just place them where I think they'll be good. Spoiler alert, they were not in good places. So it costs 50,000 bells (their currency) to move a home, and then you have to wait until the next day's cycle to have them move. I have 5 villagers I want to move, and I just did the first one tonight.

Also, to add more to that, I have to take down my park I made because that's going to be a neighborhood where the villagers live now. You have to take that down piece by piece. On top of all the villagers moving and taking down the park, I will have to remove the sidewalks that led to their previous homes, and you have to do that tile by tile. There's no quick fix. And on top of all of that, I have to move trees. I don't want to lose my fruit trees because they provide a way to earn money every 3 days. But in order to move the fruit trees without cutting them down and losing them, you need to eat a piece of fruit. That gives you the strength to dig them up and put them in your pocket. But your pockets only hold 40 items total, and by the time you had all of your tools and crafting materials, you really only have 25 spots left. So you have to keep going back and forth between places to drop things off.

It's a very tedious game, and I could "time travel" by changing the date on my Switch, but that's not how I want to play. I want to play the game pure.

How's that for a response?

I buy workers. I buy expansion plots. I buy limited time decorations. And I have amazing vision from the get-go and a little bit of urban planning second hand experience.

But mostly I have the willingness to spend money.

My other goal is to get Patty to move out. She's a cow, and I don't like her. But it's a long process to get rid of a villager. You pretty much have to ignore them and wait for them to want to move out. I managed to get rid of Peggy. She was a pig, and my biggest enemy. My favorite villager is Snake. He's a rabbit.

I also have Gayle, a crocodile. Hazel, a squirrel. Cousteau, a frog. Simon, a monkey. Hamphrey, a hamster. Rodney, another hamster. And Lolly, a cat. Lolly is my 2nd favorite that I have.

EDIT - I have to admit a mistake. Gayle is an alligator. Not a crocodile.
