Someone stole our airconditioning!



Recommended Posts

I got to work this morning, and turned up the air conditioning. After a while I noticed it wasn't cooling. I turned it down some more, then noticed again it wasn't cooling. I looked out the door to see if the fan was turning and the whole airconditioning unit was stolen~ I can't believe people would do such a thing!

It will be an extremely hot day here today as our temps are supposed to be near 100!

They must have done it Saturday night or Sunday, the boss was here working on Saturday and it was here then. When I came in this morning it was gone! I just made a police report, but I doubt if anything will come of it. Hopefully something can be done about it soon! The boss is going to be late today, if he comes in at all! I have the door open and the fan going right now, but in another few hours, that will be out of the question too!

Lame!!! I hate people that invade innocent people's lives to steal! It makes me so mad that the general population has to work so hard for everything and then some nit wit who refused to work or needs a drug fix comes along and swipes anything they can get their paws on. Did I mention, "I HATE THIEVES!!!" I'm assuming you have called and talked to your boss. He should be making arrangements to get a new one as soon as possible. Its funny its so hot there because here we haven't even had any warm summer days yet. Normally it is sweltering by this time here too but so far it just wants to stay springlike. It warms up to the mid 60's or low 70's but has been raining hard at least every few days. We have also gotten a lot more thunder and lightning than we would normally get. I remember summers like this when I was a little girl but it has been a long time since we have had one. I wish I could pump down some of our cooler air your way. Best wishes, Teresa

I hope they catch the thieves. Just when you think you've heard it all. Betty, I hope you have windows to open today.

The boss just called and told me to go home, it is too hot to sit there like that. I had the office door open and fans going, but it was still hot!

Thanks y'all, I hope they catch them too, but I think there is a very slim chance of that!

It's damn creepy. My real estate office was robbed through the roof. There was a skylight in the building, and he shimmied down it and back up and out with all the goods. They should cut off a finger for the first offense, then a hand for the 2nd and both hands for the 3rd offense. My house was robbed, too. Bastards.

Wow! It seems to get worse everyday! Of course they don't do anything to them when they catch them and they know it!

Lisa I love your new avatar!

There's a rash of office equipment being stolen here. They got one computer from our office but a bunch of stuff from others. They put it all in a van & sell it dirt cheap. They took our stamp machine! Like you'd ever think of protecting a stamp machine.

I ask the police when they were there if they had other reports of this, and he said not with air conditioning units! Lots of other stuff though. He actually started to come in the office and then said "boy, it's hot it there already, I think I'll stand out here! I told him he should have been there an hour ago, before I opened the door and turned on some fans!

Hey Betty. It was great seeing you saturday at North Texas Harley. I lost track of you when the band went on break and never caught up with you. Hey Listen, I have 2 spare AC window units and you guys are welcome to borrow them until you get your air conditioner replaced. I'm just down the street from you. Not sure where your office is though.

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

        I'm so happy for you! You are about to change your life. I was so glad to get the sleeve done in Dec. I didn't have feelings of regret overall. And I'm down almost 60 lbs. I do feel a little sad at restaurants. I can barely eat half a kid's meal. I get adults meals often because kid ones don't have the same offerings at times. Then I feel obligated to eat on that until it's gone and that can be days. So the restaurant thing isn't great for me. All the rest is fine by me! I love feeling full with very little. I do wish I could drink when eating. And will sip at the end. Just a strong habit to stop. But I'm working on it! You will do fine! Just keep focused on your desire to be different. Not better or worse. But different. I am happy both ways but my low back doesn't like me that heavy. So I listened (also my feet!). LOL! Update us on your journey! I'm not far from you. I'm in Houston. Good luck and I hope it all goes smoothly! Would love to see pics of the town you go to for this. I've never been there. Neat you will be traveling for this! Enjoy the journey. Take it one day at a time. Sometimes a few hours at a time. Follow all recommendations as best you can. 💗

        Thank you so much for your well wishes. I am hoping that everything goes easy for me as well. We don't eat out much as it is, so it wont be too bad in that department. Thankfully. Also, I hear you regarding your back and feet!! I'd like to add knees to the list. Killing me as we speak! I'm only 5' so the weight has to go. Too short to carry all this weight. Menopause really did a doosey on me. (😶lol) My daughter also lives in Houston. with her Husband and my 5 grand-littles. I grew up in Beaumont, so I know Houston well, I will be sure to keep in touch and update you on my journey. I may need some advice in the future, or just motivation. Thank You so much for reaching out, I was hoping to connect with someone in the community. I really appreciate it. 💜

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.
