I have done without AC a few times. Always during the summer.
Last time, we had to wait for this man and we waited for hours and he and his guys were done in like 8 minutes ._.
Well, the house won't be clean until it's cool >BU

Not long ago, I went to the store with my aunt.
I already rarely get out, so I was anxious, but I was going to buy some stuff.
She then told me she locked the keys in the truck along with her phone and she couldn't remember any numbers. So I started to panic. She was able to call a locksmith and we had to rush our shopping and get outside and wait. So I was so panicked that I didn't buy anything and I was cry-y and just wanted to go home.
The guy came and it took him two minutes and he was payed $40 o_O

You need a job in the health department, car repair, AC/Plumbing repair, lock smith and stuff like that. That brings the good money o_O

My mother locked her keys in the car once. I told her to call a locksmith, but she didn't really have the money. So after a couple hours of trying, she finally called. Then she had to pay $60 because it was after normal business hours, and it only would have been $40 if she had called when I told her to.

I REALLY wish I could do construction, plumbing, car stuff, and lawnmower stuff! I've paid so much money to handymen, and I still have so many more things that need to be done....

We've done it a few times.
Luckily our neighbor's son has a tool to open cars.
I think it'd be cool to have that, but it was like $300 o_O

My grandpa was a mechanic and he could fix different kinds of machines.
He mostly worked on vending machines and coffee pots, but he could work on AC and vehicles and stuff u8
Honestly, I think it's a good field to go into.
I wish I was a mechanic xD

It's even worse that professionals try to rip people off because they don't know anything.
That's not ALL professionals, but some people have been caught lying to get more money from customers.
There was one news story where the mechanics told different things to men and women.
For the men it was cheaper and for the women is was more expensive and more than one thing "was wrong".

So it's a good idea to look around before taking it to someone or calling someone.

We're lucky to have good neighbors.
I only come in handy when people need help setting clocks, computer stuff and things like that 8,u

My father is like that too. He mostly does lawnmowers and some snowblowers. But he can do cars and stuff too.

I am surprised my mother has never gotten conned at the car place. But my father would always tell her the problem, and when she would take it in, they would say exactly what he said too, so then we knew she wasn't getting conned.

I'm finally just about over my cold. But I hit my head a few days ago, and it really hurts...

It's a great skill. Can he teach you anything 8u?

Well, not everyone is out there to rip people off.
But you just gotta be careful anyways u8
It's good that she talked to honest people.

Awww D8
I've bonked my head so many times xD

There's a pregnant cat around here.
She's a stray, but I gave her some treats and we named her Buttercup u8
She actually will come running to me if I call her or not xD
Yesterday I just stuck my head out and she came running.

No, I just can't be taught when it comes to that stuff lol!

I used to live somewhere that had a ton of stray cats. We don't get many here though. I took in one cat that was in rough shape and that I thought had been abandoned. Then, a couple years later, I found out that she had an owner, but he was really sick and wasn't able to care for her.

Do you know anyone who might want to adopt her?

I have to go to the library today, and I'd like to finish grooming my dog, and maybe get a little cleaning done.

Awww D:
Me too probably.
My brain has very little space left for new stuff xD

Aww...I wonder if this cat has an owner, actually. She is really friendly and goes in our house easily ._.
No, I don't. She just kinda hangs around our house and the neighbor's.
I started giving her treats, but I hope my aunt doesn't find out.
>___>

I miss going to the library. I don't read much, but I always liked our library.
I took out a lot of books when I was a kid.

My dogs need baths. It's so hard to bathe them.
I see so many dogs that just love water.
My run at the first sight of it and I don't know why.
No one's ever tried to drown them and they've never been in anything like a river or lake or ocean.
o___O

I used to read a lot, but I have really been slacking lately.

I have three dogs, and none of them like a bath! They tolerate it though. But they all have weird fears that I can't figure out, and we've had two of them since they were really little. One is terrified of kids. One of terrified of smoke detectors. One is terrified of ramps and storm drains.

I got a lot done this weekend. Went to the library, did some dog grooming, took a walk, watched Coco, and moved a bunch of stuff from the basement to the garage so that someone can take it to the dump.

Mine are scared of thunder and fireworks too.
I don't know how to help them with that.
I will hold them and pet them and say it's okay, but doesn't do much 8u
My one thugass dog tried to attack fireworks.
She ran at some like a rabid junkyard dog, barked viciously and came trotting back normally.

We don't have a basement or an attic.
We have two crawlspaces, though.
Wouldn't go in either.
I'm the type of person that would want a room in the basement or attic.
Seems secluded.

We have a basement, and we have some crawl spaces upstairs on the front and back of the house. The crawl spaces are nice and dry, so they are good for storing clothes and such. The basement is really damp, and it even floods a couple times a year. So it's a really big space, but we can't do a whole lot with it. So it's mostly just litter boxes.

I have a doctor's appointment tomorrow, and I am going to have to reschedule. I feel bad because I've rescheduled it like 3 times already! I hate to do that!
