WTF, Dave. That more than sucks.

IMO her choice as I will find her take back suise and bang in for a divorce, as totally fed up with her hitting me and blaming me, she can be sad and lonely once I get my susie back.

I don't have any knowledge of your family situation other then what you've posted here, but you seem to be a level headed individual. I can also say I was raised in a home where the only hitting that took place was when Dad's hand connected with my butt (usually for something I well deserved and only as the last resort). Hitting is never acceptable between husband and wife. Reading between the lines I suspect there were problems before your son's death, that just hadn't surfaced. If both parties really care about saving their marriage then counseling could help, likely both together and individually. I speak from experience of a bad first marriage that counseling only works if both parties want it to. I could have saved myself a year of grief and a pot of money, if I'd realized that earlier, and parted ways with a crazy woman (she's gone through 4 more since me). The bright side was that I met the one who was "supposed" to be my life mate. Just celebrated our 39th anniversary.

It has jumped to 97F with 30% humidity ... feels like 100F. Man the humidity sucks ... f

30% HUMIDITY, that's terrible Gary, I don't know how you are surviving it, should we take up a collection to send you so you can buy your own personal portable HVAC unit ????.

The high here today was 95 with 73% humidity. Which, I might add felt really good, considering the recent days of 100 degrees (actual temps - not feels like) with 85% humidity. This week temperatures are expected to be above 90 all week with humidity ranging from 69% to 73%.

So the wife phones me earlier and says go out tonight, so I go out have a fantastic time taking photos that are crap. Come home to a note saying cant live with a killer and she takes my Susie. So at this moment in time you could say my head is totally done in.

Dave, Dave, Dave...I'm so sorry

Don't pay any attention to Smoke. We've jumped up to 33%. I know exactly what you going thru.

Woke up this morning to a ton of Flickr notifications. Apparently one of my flower photos was featured in “explore” yesterday. Lots of faves and over 2k views but all in all, still have under 100 followers lol!

Heading to the beach for a few days. Hoping for sunny skies and not so humid.

Glad to see that you’ll have Susie to comfort you.

@Fujidave Good news on Susie. Prayers for a positive outcome for you.

Suck it up buttercups, you haven't seen anything yet.

Once the sun gets up the heat will rise (expected to hit mid 90's) and the humidity will drop to the high 60's- low 70's as the sun burns off the moisture.

Yep, it sucks when Mother Nature keeps tossing curve balls at you.

Good news. My mother's house did not flood. Crested on Thursday a foot below their prediction, which had also been lowered an additional foot from the previous day.

In preparation for the flood, two of my siblings and I moved stuff from the basement to the upper floor of the house. In a previous flood, we assumed that we lost my grandfather's camera (along with ALL of his negatives). In looking through all this stuff, just before I left, I found his camera bag. I was immediately elated, and I took it with me when I left. On the drive home, I was ecstatic, and I called my wife saying that I found the camera bag.

I get home, take the camera bag upstairs, open it. I see a Minolta lens, that's good. An old flash, also good. And, then the elation turns to deflation. The bag is empty sans these items and a few accessories. No camera.

It's not a collectible camera, an expensive camera, or even a great camera. It's just a normal Minolta camera. But, it's my grandfather's normal camera. I want the memories. If I could, I'd even settle just for knowing what model it was, but there are no pictures of his camera.
