My fix on the control unit for the irrigation unit seems to have failed. Good try but it’s not working as I had hoped so it’s off to the hardware and buying a replacement unit. I’m already prepared to identify that the “new” unit will not have the same “mounting” holes as the old one, so this means more difficulties with installing it. Why don’t they make things “standard”?
Heat of the day for the nation! Seems like the whole country is baking. But don't worry there is no global warming or weather change caused by man. Unless you listen to the scientists that study the condition.
I've had a really rough year and I'm trying to stay positive every day. My husband is going through a terrible time (legal issue) and we are both self employed. I'm just kind of exasperated this morning and I need to get out of this horrible mood.
I'm trying to think of good things.....any other ideas?

Wow, Im having the same problem. I knew something was up when I fired up the sprinklers in the fall. The control unit didnt seem to keep my settings. The control panel is probably around 15 yrs old. Not even sure if I can get a similar unit. If you don't mind, let me know how it worked out.
U know this is an excellent post for the stress and venting thread. And once you go there and vent and read a couple of other vents u realize u r not alone. I think misery needs company. I don't have the answers for you my friend, but I can say this take a deep breath, look for the good and take rest as it comes. It is easy to get overwhelmed, but it you find your place of inner peace it will make what you're facing seem not as bleak. I don't know who said "and this too shall pass...", but I have found it to be true "this two shall pass..." Be encouraged
I have an acquaintance that I am want to delete off my Facebook. She has been a stay at mom for years and recently started selling some sort of jewelry through a company. She does home parties. She sends private messages to everyone on her friend list about her upcoming sales. She is also becoming increasingly pushy about it. I live hundreds of miles away from her so I would never go nor would I want to. Then people reply to her which then shows up in my inbox as well, because its a select all type of set up. So I end up having tons of messages in my inbox. I have thought of politely telling her not to include me in these mass messages but judging from how pushy she is about this new career venture, I'm thinking she will not take it well. We don't talk often, probably around once or twice a year. Im thinking about just deleting her.

You can block her without deleting her. I did that with a niece for about a year and she never suspected that I wasn't getting her messages.
Here are some of the things I do when that happens to me:
Go for a walk, no headphones. Just listen to the sounds of the neighborhood, the birds singing, the kids splashing around in their pools.
Work out, extra vigorous. It gets rid of the tension and sometimes results in a nice "runner's high."
Organize something. Stress comes from feeling overwhelmed. So I open my dresser and make everything neat, polish silverware, go through cookbooks and recipe websites and highlight things I'd like to try, clean the refrigerator. Anything that requires some focus, takes my mind off my issue, and yet results in some kind of accomplishment when I'm done with it, so that I feel like I did something productive and useful.
Look around at what I do have, not in a "roof over my head and food in my stomach" oversimplified, generic kind of way, but in a more detailed way. "Wow, I have a really nice collection of music. Amazing, all the options out there." Then I take a few minutes to think about what went into creating it, obtaining it, etc., that didn't exist 50 or 100 years ago.
But the most effective remedy is going out and doing something nice, like opening doors for people, helping someone shorter than I am reach a high shelf at the grocery, finding tourists who look lost and offering directions, running up and putting quarters in the meter before the person who just parked gets out of his car. Random acts of kindness stuff.

Oh Really?! Do I put her on the restricted list? or is there another option? Damn FB changes it so often that what used to work before doesn't anymore. She isn't a bad person but Im tired of the sales push big time.

Click on the X at the upper right-hand side of one of her posts and select "Ignore all from (name)"

Oh, I understand how to do that. Its the private messages that are giving me a headache. I don't see a way of blocking her on that unless I simply block her which is the same as deleting her. I am open to suggestions if someone does have trick with this!
