So what busy times I have been having. I have been so so busy since the last two weeks owing to some recent developments. May be I would share about them when things are steadier. So a few things : 1)Even with some Dust storms as well as some rains, there is just a dip of 1/2 C. So the 43/44 C are now close to 40C. We do need more rains or at least clouds to bring temperature down further. The 2020/21 lockdowns had one good side effect - lesser heat in the Summers at least till May. But well, the terrible times did bring misery to many. 2)My Mylot Post count has been seeing a rapid depletion. That means someone might have removed their old discussions or is the Admin doing some secret cleanup? 3)Good parenting or not, sometimes it seems as if the kids these days won't listen to us much. So it will be us parents who need to change their mindsets. 4)One needs to enjoy whatever good moments come in life and not be waiting for perfection or logical conclusions. 5)Progressed a bit on de-cluttering : removing old clothes and an old blanket; as well as old books and a few more things. So, what's up with you folks?

The Sahara dust has reached the Caribbean. Not too bad though, just a bit of haze.

Well, I'm in Texas, and we did get a big storm blow through last night. Rain, hail, lots of electric storm stuff and the temp dropped from the 36 to 26.6 C. Big improvement, I didn't turn my ac on today...

@ElicBxn An update here- we got early morning rains and as of 8.37 am, the temperature is 26 C whereas we were having temperatures of around 34 C at this time! Strong winds and rains. Something similar to what you have ! Also the maximum would be down from 42/43 to 35 or 36 C. Relief from the heat for a few days.

I delete my discussions from time to time but haven't done it recently, not my fault. We have to praise the good kids more and make sure they teach the bad ones how to behave. After all, all kids want to be praised and loved, especially by their peers. Source: I was a kid, I'm still a kid somehow.

@Danielclark691 No, we don't. Once we are credited, the earnings stay there. We usually delete old discussions anyway.

You can have some of our cold and rain, if you want. We're under a flash flood watch right now. We've had rain every day for this last week. I'm sorry, I haven't felt like making any posts on myLot for a couple of weeks. I didn't realize me not posting was that obvious. Kids have NEVER listened to their parents. Why would you expect them to listen now? Pretty is insisting that we go shopping today. I don't want to go. We have plenty of food on hand. Screenshot is mine.

@DaddyEvil I would wait for the time when we can exchange 'Weather" courtesy other folks May be many of us need a mindset change when dealing with kids.

@DaddyEvil Yeah that is why the term "Generation Gap". Our parents feel that we are too stressed about our kids and think of some of our spendings as totally useless.

@RubyHawk Then may be someone has removed their old discussions so my total post count has gone down.

Lots of people delete their old discussions here. I don't give much importance to the number of activities here. That's normal that kids never listen to their parents, my kids also don't. When I think I feel I was an obedient child who used to listen to everyone.

@sjvg1976 Surely the times have changed! I have not been having as much time for Mylot as I have been quite occupied offline. It was different when we were kids.

@CarolDM We also got rains today morning. Strong winds were creating terrible Moises! But it's a big relief from the heat!

@luisga814 Yes it causes wet dirt at some places. We had good rains in the morning and that has come as a relief.
