Well, after all my whining during the Winter and Spring, Summer has arrived here in the desert.
Too bad for me that it hit with a bang, no warning whatsoever. One day it was cold and the next day it was hotter than hell. Guess I should have been more careful of what I asked for lol
The problem with all this heat is that it makes my computer run way too hot. It is very warm here beside this window, I sit here sweating most of the time and the computers fan runs as fast as it can to try and keep things cooler inside the case.
I have now moved my laptop into the bedroom where it is somewhat cooler in the afternoons. That way I can give the desktop a much needed cooling off period. I can also give myself some relief from this heat I so desperately begged for.

Keep It Safe
Many, many people these days carry weapons. Perhaps it is because we seem to be living in such a violent society. Perhaps it is also because there never seems to be enough police personnel available. They cannot be everywhere, you know?
If you are one of these people that carry a handgun or a taser then you need something to carry that weapon in and uncle mikes holsters has the solution for you and your weaponry.
Holsters are designed to provide easy access to your gun as well as safe carrying. Uncle Mike's holsters has a wide selection of holsters to provide a range of possibilities for how to carry your gun, whether you require hip, shoulder or other carrying options.
Don't trust your weapon to a pocket or purse. Holster it so you feel safe. Hopefully the only time you will ever need to take it out of that holster will be to clean it. But, if you do need it, it will be there!

Who's The Boss?
My game Mod boss is still on her hiatus. I am wondering most days if the woman is ever going to return. She does not answer her phone nor return emails, definitely not good signs!
In the meantime myself and another Mod are still sharing Mod Boss duties as best we can. I have started to take a little more control of things as he has some personal life problems to deal with. Life first, fun second.
Yesterday I convinced Support to give us another moderator. He has been very helpful in the past and had applied to be a Mod but the boss didn't get around to making a final decision. I do know that her initial thoughts were to turn this player down. But I convinced Support to let us have him at least until the Boss is back. Better a temporary solution than none at all.
We really do need the help and the new Mod is as pleased as a kid on Christmas morning. We still have 3 Mods missing, the boss and her partner and one that is out with serious health problems. Where once we were at fifteen Mods we are, with the new Mod, at ten. Ten people to cover what should be covered by at least 12. We are making due though and I am happy that things are going along as smoothly as they are.
Support did tell the owner yesterday that she and I had made this player a Mod and he was okay with it. He also said he is happy that someone is taking the initiative with running things. Something tells me that he does not know if the boss will be returning or not either. Not good.
In the meantime, we continue to play.

A Grand Or More
Sometimes Life just seems to get interrupted by emergencies. We all know that and most of us try to plan for these things but usually they pop up when we least expect them or are least prepared for them. Wouldn't it be nice to be able to get some emergency cash quickly and easily? Now there is Pennsyvanians!
You can quickly and easily get a car title loan. These car title loans in pa can be gotten just by having a few minimum things, like the title to your vehicle, drivers license, proof of insurance, things that every car owner should have in the first place.
The minimum you can borrow is one thousand dollars which should easily cover most emergencies. If you need more and your vehicle is wort the loan then higher amounts may be loaned to you.
Loans can be approved and money placed into your account the very next day (if it is a banking day) so you can see that the process is easy and quick.
Don't let emergencies sidetrack your life. Need money? Get that car title loan and stop worrying.

Like Little Children
I really love my job as a chat moderator but there are times when I wonder why. Yesterday I chat banned a player for bashing the Mods and he is terribly upset. It appears that he feels as though he is being picked on, singled out perhaps and he doesn't understand why.
He complained on a forum where all the other players can see it and reply if they so wish. I replied explaining that bashing the Mods will not be tolerated and advising him to read the chat rules of the site. This apparently made him angrier and he now thinks calling me a nasty little man and saying that I am not God will win him favor? hmmm...one of us is dumber than I thought.
I never once thought of being a Mod as being God, I just enforce the rules as the site asks me to do. Most days go by without a hitch and all the Mods are thankful for those days. Some days we just are left to scratch our heads and wonder why we put in so many hours every day of the week without any payment.

Who Would Have Thought?
Got this information in an email from a friend and felt like I have to share:
CAR AIR-CONDITIONING - VERY IMPORTANT!
My car book says to roll down the windows to let out all the hot air before turning on A/C.
WHY? Car Air-conditioning - No wonder more folks are dying from cancer than ever before. We wonder where this stuff comes from but here is an example that explains a lot of the cancer causing incidents.
Many people are in their cars first thing in the morning and the last thing at night, 7 days a week.
As I read this, it makes me feel guilty and ill.
Please pass this on to as many people as possible.
Guess it's not too late to make some changes
Car A/C (Air Conditioning) MUST READ!!!
Please do NOT turn on A/C as soon as you enter the car.
Open the windows after you enter your car and then turn ON the AC after a couple of minutes.
Here's why: According to research, the car dashboard, seats and air freshener emit Benzene, a Cancer causing toxin (carcinogen - take time to observe the smell of heated plastic in your car).
In addition to causing cancer, Benzene poisons your bones, causes anemia and reduces white blood cells. Prolonged exposure will cause Leukemia, increasing the risk of cancer. Can also cause miscarriage.
Acceptable Benzene level indoors is 50 mg per sq. ft.
A car parked indoors with windows closed will contain 400-800 mg of Benzene.
If parked outdoors under the sun at a temperature above 60 degrees F, the Benzene level goes up to 2000-4000 mg, 40 times the acceptable level.
People who get into the car, keeping windows
closed will inevitably inhale, in quick succession, excessive amounts of the toxin.
Benzene is a toxin that affects your kidney and liver.. What's worse, it is extremely difficult for your body to expel this toxic stuff.
So friends, please open the windows and door of your car - give time for interior to air out -dispel the deadly stuff - before you enter.
Thought: 'When someone shares something of value with you and you benefit from it, you have a moral obligation to share it with others.'
