At least I rose earlier, not early, but better than yesterday!
Cats been fed and petted, etc. and is now outside probably sleeping somewhere! Most likely up on the roof. Goof ball!
Computer backing up, Fitbit charging, BP 113 / 64. Took drug yesterday... coffee will help it get back around 130 I hope.
Getting the BBB from NS was always fun. Check the list, count it out. Store it away and then try to decide just what I wanted to eat first! LOL!
The street signs were great! And then I watched Joanne Worley clips for a bit...
Now time to get going. Made my list of things to do last night, and I think it will keep me busy for the whole weekend!!!
Did You have any problem finding reverse on the computers gearshift lever ?
If I said despite being 7 items short the basement freezer and the Kitchen Refrigerator freezer section are bulging would You believe me ?
I believe some of the new foods on my order are ready to go as well as frozen, I am not sure when that smaller box will be delivered. Not a rush either.
I was starting to have a craving for Pizza so the NS frozen order delivery is timely for that, Tonight I will have one of the 7 Chicken Bacon ranch Pizzas I ordered. I also ordered 3 Italian Sausage and Turkey Pizzas and 4 Margherita Pizzas to get me through cravings as well as a couple of two types of the Shelf Stable Pizzas. Solved that craving for now
BTW I saw my first Chipmunk of the year yesterday and two Deer down along the Brook a ways away from the house.Ed, I hope the 'interest' in food leads to a self feeding kitty by tomorrow.
Roger, hope your berry bushes continue to set fruit, and that some lucky neighbors get to taste home grown blackberries. And I love hollyhocks! My Mom had them in our back yard. I grew some before the trees got so big.
Ok, heading for the kitchen...time to feed me!
Later...
I was a bit unhappy yesterday after my brother pointed out where those darned Walking Appetites had eaten some of the leaves off of the Hollyhocks. They are destructive critters and should all go to perdition IMO. Leave my plants alone. In the last two years they have eaten most of the Sunflowers, Leaves off the Apple trees, Hollyhocks, and Lillies
Have a Nice Day

That Little Pigs Barbecue is on South Highland street in Memphis, Tennessee. I used to see that place often as I drove by, but never did eat there.
I think it's NOT raining just this second, so might be a good time to run the garbage and recycles down to the curb.
Update:
Didn't work. Mother nature was laying in wait for me. As soon as I stepped out, it started raining hard...so the big garbage bin is by the garage door, and recycles are still just inside the garage.
I will wait a bit for, hopefully, a lull...meanwhile Ariel has been fed, J's veggie burger is cooking, and the first load of laundry is in the washer.

I got the garbage and recycles out. Second (and last) load of laundry is in the dryer and I've got some vegetable soup started on the stove, with peas, carrots, onion, potato, vegetable broth and home made tomato juice, along with a little hot chili infused olive oil to carry the flavors and will likely add some macaroni near the end of cooking to give it a little more "oomph" as it's going to BE dinner, with a salad as a starter.0

Hi ValerieGardenKatGardens wrote: »Good Morning! Super Sunday...I dunno why......:)
No Roger backup has not been a problem since I got "My Passport for Mac'! Now when I had Laci..my Ferrari external hard drive that was a pain. And finding reverse for backup was a chore. Different computer, (my desk top) and it was do this and that...I didn't use it as often as I should have. (Ted, little rat, helped me pick it out from CompUSA, and pointed out that it most likely would be the only Ferrari I'd ever own)
As Ed mentioned it is an all day rain apparently. Last night 11 news seemed to think maybe the morning shower wouldn't happen and it would rain later in the day....like right.
I think I heard your 7:30 wake up thunder Ed....not consciously, but something did wake me at 7:30. And I hear 'rumbling' every little bit, but nothing close by or loud. Now, if I put on my hearing aid I might disagree with myself on that point!!!
I had heard that laCie was a good brand, oh well...
It can not seem to make up it's mind here, rain or no rain, it starts to spritz and then stops again
I wonder if it was the footwear that did it?Cat and I had a bit of a disagreement this morning...he came in to eat, and was waiting for me outside my bedroom door when I finished brushing my teeth...flopped himself on the living room carpet for some petting and scratching...and then we proceeded to the dining room where his food was, and the sliding doors to the screened porch...and the little devil (and that's being kind) BIT my big toe. No warning, just nabbed me. I don't usually wear flip flops, but these bright red ones are locally made, and have built in arch support and massage beads and that little raised hump so your feet don't slide to far forward....anyhow, he bit me! Believe me, he was 'ordered' out of the house.
Ed, I finished up my laundry yesterday, so I'm sorry, but I don't have any laundry to contribute today! Its such a good feeling to have it all done. Makes it worth the effort.
Roger I LOVE the green eyed young cat. Its fur looks a lot like a Bengal Tiger! Buts its those green eyes. I love green eyed cats! Black Cat Dunham was obviously black and had those green eyes. He was my little 3.5 legged cat, that by the time the vet and I got his poor little back leg healed, hated me so much he ran away!! I'd see him in the neighborhood...easy to spot...he ran funny. I am sure someone up the street took pity on the little thing, and feed him, etc.
Good that You are enjoying the posts
I shut down the computer and the power strip when I hear Thunderstorms coming too.Free meal to Vegetarians even at a BBQ place could be a dangerous thing to offer...we're so accustomed to cobbling together a meal from the sides that they'd lose money!!! LOL!!
And that bear....arg. Thru NS Ed and I know a lady named Kat...and that family just moved to MA last fall....they have 2 bears that come to visit..like up onto the deck...I'd be so outta there!!! Bears are BIG! and they have big TEETH! and bad tempers! Yep, color me gone.
Ok, gotta get going...the rumbles are returning. I need to take a shower and clear the sink, but those will be my catch as catch can things to do today!!!
Later...
We are having bear problems in NJ too, more to the north but near here too.
If it is raining or rain is in the forecast I put the garbage out at the last minute, otherwise as do 90% of my neighbors it goes out the night beforeGardenKatGardens wrote: »Hope Ed got his trash to the curb...we've had lulls, and then here it comes again. Each time I think I 'shouldda hopped in the shower' I'll get there. I'd hoped to make a run out for a pedicure today..seeing Podiatrist tomorrow, least I can do is make these old toes look best I can. But I think its not going to happen... oh well. It was a good thought.
Later...

Hi
I walked 5300 Steps during the morning walk. The temperature this morning is 54 on the news channel and 60 degrees on the front porch. I was tired this morning, The Overnight Thunderstorm woke me up at 3AM, I never did manage to get back to a good sleep so I gave up at 5:30
Later on I need to mow after the grass dries out better from the rain that accompanied the Thunderstorm.
I had the new NS Turkey Pot Pie Melt for lunch Sunday, Tasty, although I still prefer the NS Pepperoni Pizza Melt. I am happy I ordered 7 of them. Today for Lunch I will be trying the new NS Spinach & Cheese Pretzel Melt which I also took a chance on ordering 7 of. I did buy a bunch of the melts A La Carte and some Dinners therefor I will be delaying the upcoming order. I took this step as I am still overloaded with the NS Snacks and I can get Good Dinners substitutes and I use Cereal and hot NS breakfasts alternating them. I use the cereals when I switch to them until the new quart of 1% milk I opened is used up.
Have a Great Monday

Oh, and Lacie probably is a good external hard drive...I think the main problem was me. I had to remember what to unplug from the CPU, and find the cord to plug in...etc. Anyhow, she quit working, and I can't say I was sorry. Ted took it and messed with it, hooked it to something else he had, and said sorcery words over it, and got the pictures that were on it onto a disc for me. Now, Lacie's brain rests in a plain small brown box, residing on a book shelf in the front room with all the other junk I hold onto...I dunno why ....
Oh,half listening to something on the TV, and I swear I heard them talking about a band, named 'Spider Spit'....I know I had to stop and laugh. Spider Spit....LOL!! Will check with Google before I go to bed to see if indeed that is what I heard!!!!
Sleep well guys...
Hi Valerie
I did data recovery when I was working and I would often the owner of the computer to put the hard drive on the shelf just in case the new one died and think of it as a backup so You are doing what I used to recommend
Now I'm curious was it a band called Spider Spit?
Have a Good Day today

Hi Ed0 -
Howdy y'all. It's marvelous Monday!
71 out there now with an expected high of 81 and 60% chance of PM thunderstorms. I guess I should try to do any grocery shopping in the AM then.
Sink has bee cleared. I still need to get that last load of laundry folded, as it's still in the dryer. LOL.
Lilo and I have been fed. Ariel is still in bed with J so I'll get to her later.

Hi Again
I agree it is a weird name for a band too.
I seem to remember You asking about the Berry bushes, so I have posted images of some of them just now. That Blackberry bush is really going to town, Now I think I'm happy I only tried one as a test. There will likely be more than I can use at one time. My Brother has suggested drying, and freezing the surplus vs handing them out to the neighbors.
Have a Good Day

Hi
I walked 5200 Steps during the morning walk. The temperature this morning is 60 on the news channel and 56 degrees on the front porch. I was somewhat tired this morning. I woke up around 4:20 and I never did manage to get back to a good sleep so I gave up at 5:40
I really need to mow the grass, It never dried out from the rain that accompanied the previous nights Thunderstorm.
Today it was raining when I went out the door and there was a raw feel to the air.
I had the new NS Spinach & Cheese Pretzel Melt for lunch Monday, It was tasty, although I still prefer the NS Pepperoni Pizza Melt. I am happy I ordered 7 of them.
The world has gone nuts.

Watch 'extremely hangry' woman fight McDonald's employee
DES MOINES — A woman gave new meaning to the word "hangry" Saturday as she fought with McDonald's employees over the delivery of a meal at a Des Moines restaurant.
Two men and a woman ordered McChicken sandwiches about 9 p.m. CT, but apparently were hungry and upset about the wait time, according to a police report.
The employees told police the woman came to the counter and started yelling that she wanted either her food or her money back.
"Give me my (expletive)!" the woman is heard shouting in a video recorded by another customer.
And this

Fired worker kills five and himself in Orlando rampage
ORLANDO — A disgruntled former employee returned to a local RV accessory business Monday and fatally shot five people before killing himself, another horror in a city still healing from a bloody mass murder at a nightclub less than one year ago.
John Robert Neumann Jr, 45, who had been fired in April, entered the Fiamma Inc. building at about 8 a.m. ET and opened fire, Orange County Sheriff Jerry Demings said. A 911 call came in at 8:03 and officers were on the scene two minutes later, Demings said.

Hi ValerieGardenKatGardens wrote: »OK, so who wants to go to Pakistan for lunch tomorrow????? 'The Angry Burger'...what a neat name....
SO, what did we just see? Pancake batter, probably besan poured on the griddle...BTW I want one of those..and while I'm at it a big freestanding real butchers block... now, back to the autopsy of what I think I saw...and in the center of each pancake something...I guess it could be meat...or refried beans? and when the pancake was cooked, those were moved , etc, etc, until they were placed on the outer perimeter of my griddle...and sliced onion, some kind of a green sauce, and some red and presumably hot sauce, more sprinkling of sliced stuff, finally bun tops....wow!! I'd rather have that than a burger, or sliders!!!
Ed. What did you think you saw???
Roger, any guesses??
When I worked at the Red Cross we had a lovely Pakistani woman come in on second shift, and sometimes she would bring me the most delicious leftovers you can imagine. We talked 'food' every chance we got.
This video really really has my mouth watering, and my poor tummy screaming for food!!!
Something about street food....some time ago I watched these huge sandwiches being made in Mexico City, again, street food...I was also ready to go there as well!
Ok, I think I need to fix my salad to go with the rest of my lunch, and eat it.
If I said no guess
Suddenly I felt hungry so I went into the Kitchen and ate my Morning BananaGardenKatGardens wrote: »Oh, before I head back into the kitchen...
Roger the berry bushes look wonderful! I'm sorta with your brother. Maybe you could give a few and freeze a few to see how the freezing process works for you? I think I'd set them on a tray in the freezer for several hours, one berry layer thick...then when frozen put them into your seal a meal thingy and pull the air out of the bag..they should keep for several months. Just a thought.
And I have the best ever foot and ankle brace! I walked around for a bit outside when I got home, and seems to really keep my foot stable. For orneriness I took my red flip flops, that match my toes which got painted yesterday, and asked him if I thought I'd ever be able to wear them again...and he said he thought so!
Order of business is First get the inflammation calmed down, then do the exercises he gave me, and when I've strengthened the ankle, I should be good to wear my red sandals!!! I'm willing to bet that I will be as compliant doing my foot exercises as I am with my thyroid med!!!! Will be pulling my list of inflammation fighting foods out and posting it above my work space in the kitchen....No, chances are I will not be doing Aleve. He and I both agreed that would not be a good thing. I turned down Prednisone shots..he said they really weren't 'bad'...told him I was not so worried about the shots themselves as I was the Prednisone! He just smiled. I think he understands.
Ok...now its 2:30, and I'm still hungry...............
If I said that was just a small part of the Blackberry bush and that both the early and late fruiting Raspberries have berries growing on them already. I may well end up with a large surplus, Hmm...
That he found a ankle brace that works well for you is great. I'm with You regarding the pain killers and Prednisone shots, avoid if possible.
Have a Good Day

Howdy y'all. It's terrific Tuesday! 77 out there with an expected high of 82 and 20% chance of rain.
I need to go browse the blueberry plants.
I've been up for hours but distracted by putting away clean dishes, feeding me, feeding Lilo, feeding Ariel, and then clearing the sink.

101-year-old Topeka woman ready for high school reunion
By James Ryan Published: June 2, 2017, 10:49 pm
TOPEKA, Kan. (KSNT) – A 101-year-old Topeka woman is getting ready for her 83rd high school reunion. Dorothy Priddy graduated from Seaman High School in 1934. She has many fond memories of that time, but she admits she didn’t spend a lot of time studying.
“I walked from Seaman High School over to Woolworth’s to work for 10 cents an hour. That’s how much I got paid,” said Priddy.
On Sunday she will go to the Seaman Annual Alumni Banquet. It’s her first alumni event in decades and she said she’s a little nervous.
“Out of my class I think there’s only about two left. There were 65,” said Priddy.
She’s excited to see the renovation to her old high school. The building she went to school is now the district office at the corner of Tyler and Lyman.

Carpet cleaner extinguishes brush fire with misting hose
Jared Aiton said he wasn't sure his plan would work. He had a tank of water and a hose, but the sprayer only shoots a mist, and yet that was enough to save the day.
Aiton cleans carpets. He was driving his van when the carpet cleaner became a firefighter on May 31st.
"Come up over a hill and on the left side I see some flashing lights and a fire," he said. "I just felt that I needed to put it out."
Aiton saw a brush fire. So the man stood on the side of Loop 303 near 35th Avenue, carpet cleaning hose in hand, fire in his sights.
But he wasn't sure the hose's mist would actually help extinguish the flames.
