Howdy y'all. It's wonderful Wednesday!
I've been up since just before 7:00 but that was after painfully getting back to sleep after the rude awakening in the wee hours by the Amber Alert...I do believe in that system. I DO. But it really should honor the DO NOT DISTURB setting on the phone.
When one has DO NOT DISTURB set, that means the person doesn't wish to be disturbed. My mother and my spouse are allowed to ring through even on that setting, but that's all I want to be able to ring through.
DO NOT DISTURB means I'm probably asleep, or in a meeting, or hiding from a burglar or kidnapper, or whatever other reason I don't want the phone making noise.
Now I've heard some people say that it's so important it's worth it. I agree that it's important. But I disagree on it being "worth it" as no one I know is likely to get up from bed at an hour they normally sleep, get dressed, and get out on the streets to look for a specific make and model of vehicle with a certain license plate.
I'm sure there ARE people who ARE awake at that hour and may even already be out on the streets.
I've heard arguments that the Amber Alert system should be shut down for phones, during "normal" sleep hours, but I disagree on that too, as my "normal" sleep hours may not match someone else's "normal" sleep hours.
And I've heard suggestions that one can turn on "Airplane" mode when going to sleep. Well, this will silence the alert, to be sure, but it will also lock out my mother and my spouse from waking me, in case of dire family need.
Or one could just turn the phone off entirely, but then the morning wake up alarm, or the reminder that you have a dentist appointment at 9:00, which do bypass DO NOT DISTURB, will not go off so that isn't really an option either.
While it may sound crass and cruel to say that, yes, I'll get up and even get dressed and get out for my mother and/or spouse, if necessary, and not for some unknown missing person...I suspect it's that way for most people. Family emergencies do take precedence over strangers who may not even be in the immediate area at all. And people who work need their sleep, not only to work but to DRIVE TO WORK safely.
So I am not going to put the phone in "Airplane" mode when I'm asleep, or turn it off entirely, but I will continue to use DO NOT DISTURB mode for that.
Again, I recognize the importance of the Amber Alert system, but in a truly practical sense, just about NO ONE will be jumping out of bed, getting dressed, and getting out on the road, even if the alert IS in the immediate area (which it often is not) so it's more likely that people will get irritated and just TURN OFF AMBER ALERTS on their phone and not receive them at all.
This would sort of negate the usefulness of the system, no?
Just program the darn built in, automatic app to respect DO NOT DISTURB mode on the phone, or put that as an option for each type of emergency alert! People can then leave it active, read the alert after waking, or ending the meeting, or getting away from the murderer, or whatever, and then respond accordingly, if any response is actually required.
OK. Off the grumpy soap box...
Sink is already cleared but do need to get out soon, maybe today, to buy canned food for Lilo.

Good Morning Ed!
Got the same Amber Alert....and it did take awhile to get back to sleep...which caused me to be a 'late (8a.m.) riser' this morning.
It is a dilemma...that and the weather alert that announces itself at 3:30 in the morning. Remember last week...3:30 on THURSDAY morning so that I'd know we were having an ice storm on Saturday. That really irks me!

If a tornado is about to come roaring through my county, like in the very immediate future, then yes, I might not mind being alerted at 2:15 in the morning...or 3:30 or whatever, but not for some event that won't be happening for hours, or even days. That can wait.
I don't want to turn these alerts OFF, but I don't want them waking me at times when I don't need to respond immediately or can't. I always took the Amber Alerts to mean, if one HAPPENS to be out and about, keep an eye out for that vehicle. I doubt many people jump out of bed in the wee hours and rush out to look for the vehicle, even if it IS in their town or county. I also understand that people sleep at different times, so making alert times settable by the user would be ideal! Or just having it obey the DO NOT DISTURB setting...

Dinner tonight:
Parmesan and herb encrusted pork chop, Cheddar mashed potatoes, lightly buttered steamed broccoli.
Wine of choice: Placer Andaluz Chardonnay, 2015. Chardonnay isn’t, generally, my favorite white wine but this particular one is very good and paired splendidly with this dinner.
And I have another full plate of this for another meal!

Hi
I will be brief.
I have not walked today, I am still feeling poorly. Between the occasional coughing and runny nose I decided I should not go infect others with whatever this is. Add in the general feeling of weakness, It is amazing that something You can not even see has the effect on a person
The temperature was 39 degrees this morning, a 1 degree increase from yesterday. It is still gloomy looking out the window with cloudy skies. The Sun is forecast to make an appearance This afternoon, It has been a few days too.
Have a Great Thursday

Roger I hope you are feeling much better today! You did a good thing by not spreading your germs around at your morning stops. They should all thank you! If everybody was that considerate we'd have a lot less flu and colds.
Ed?? How did I beat Ed? Must be a sleep in day for Lilo
Going to look at the store ads...but I don't need anything...Ted and I shopped on Sunday. But I may see something either 'irresistible' or I may need fresh things by the weekend?
Going to the local beauty school and let them wash my hair and blow it out. No way I can do that right now. Give the students another head to practice on. (its too far to run to Decatur for a wash & dry) I checked on the little shop near Publix...they wanted too much money for what they were going to do.
I really don't know anything new or more than I've already mentioned, so...
Later...
I used to cringe inside and keep as far away as possible when a customer came into work with one of those deep raspy coughs. Strangely I did not catch anything that way, Now that I have less exposure to the public here I am brought down by an invisible invader
Our Local grocery Store circulars arrived in the afternoon mail Wednesday and my brother was poring over the ShopRite one right away, Despite that it does not take effect until Sunday. If I had to guess he was comparing next weeks to this weeks to decide what or if to go buy Saturday.
Have a Nice Day

Hi Lee-Ann0 -
Howdy y'all. It's thrilling Thursday! Been up for about an hour. Lilo did let me sleep in a little bit this morning.
Had beany weenie for breakfast. Basically opened a can of Vienna sausage bites and a can of beans with tomato sauce, mixed them up, heated it, and ate about half of it. Easy peasy. The rest is in the fridge for lunch or a major snack later.
I'm saving the other pork chop for lunch or dinner, as I didn't want that much for breakfast and beans are a good fiber/protein combo for a diabetic.
Not too much on the agenda for today. Maybe laundry. I don't see anything critical on the shopping list and despite being up for nearly an hour don't really feel all that awake yet.
Roger, I'm sure the others appreciate you deciding not to share your whatever! They may not know about it, but they would appreciate it if they did.
I think I'll just get lost on the internet for a while...

About to leave for gymnastics..came to see if Roger had posted, and if so was feeling a bit better...read thru the posts...and I was the one who didn't post!!! hmmm
Busy day, hither and yon! Started off with a trip to the hair dresser, and just enough time after that to get to my ortho guy for a new cast..the old one had gotten pretty loose. Then to the gym for a ride on their bikes, home for late lunch, and ready to go again. I also washed a load of clothes, and they're dry, but still in the dryer! OOPS. Will get them later tonite or in the morning. Oh, and I got the trash to the street for tomorrow mornings pick-up.
Roger, you just keep taking care of yourself...darn little germs! I think not having exposure does make a difference. I remember when I finished with my Lab Tech training and my class and I headed to our respective hospitals...we were all sick for about 2 months.
Ok, time to roll...

Hi Valerie
That is a possibility. I may have to rethink my feelings regarding flu shots not being needed.
I am running late as I slept in.
If I leave things in the dryer too long I just run it again to put a little warmth on them and they fold so much nicer. You Too?
Have a Nice Day

Good Morning Ya'll!
Cloudy. May sprinkle...will hold off on rain until tomorrow! (so they say).
Today, lunch with my niece, so that will be fun. Thankfully not as busy as yesterday!
I may also go to the gym though, its easier, and I can use the treadmill as well as the bike.
Roger I am so sorry you are still sick. I had the flu early in the season, and a mild case since I'd had my flu shot. But, oh do I remember ...years ago, it is what caused me to become a willing participant in flu shot line up! I know the feeling about even the internet getting boring. Please remember to stay hydrated. Water, water, water.... and tea with a bit of lemon...honey too if you like sweetened tea. Both are helpful.
Ed, beanie weenies! Haven't thought about them in years.. Did you get out to do your shopping?
I think tomorrow with the return of cooler temps, and rain I will make some Shipwreck Casserole, and Sunday I'll roast a big pan of cauliflower, broccoli, carrot, onion, and garlic. Good Eats!!!
Hi Lee-Ann! Weekend almost here...kick back and relax! How many days into P90X? (PX90? I can never remember but when I worked in the gym, I could always tell which guys were doing it!)

Howdy y'all. It's fabulous Friday! 50% chance of rain today. We got half an inch or so overnight so we're not totally bereft, but I'm sure the lakes could use some more.
I did get some shopping done the other day but oddly, the list has new stuff on it! Funny how that happens, isn't it?
J has gone off to his wellness check appointment with the doctor. I ned to make an appointment too, but I think I'll just call it a physical, just like I used to call it.
Nap in the works today for sure.
I never watch the inauguration so I'm neither boycotting it nor celebrating it. It is what it is and is happening whether one likes it or not. One term ends, and someone else's begins. That's how it goes and will, presumably, continue to go.
Later gators.

Howdy y'all. It's sensational Saturday! We have an orchid society board meeting today, presumably along with lunch at a decent restaurant.
We have 100% chance of rain today!
Dinner last night:
Salad. Cheesy (VERY cheesy) chili mac casserole.
Wine of choice: Placer Andaluz Tempranillo/Syrah, 2015, Spain.
And the last of the casserole was breakfast for me this morning.

An Entire Mall in Pennsylvania Was Just Sold For $100
Zamira Rahim
Updated: Jan 19, 2017 4:39 PM UTC
A 1.1 million-square foot mall in Pennsylvania has been sold for an astonishing $100 at auction.
The Galleria at Pittsburgh Mills Mall, one of the largest in the state, was bought by Wells Fargo Bank, which foreclosed on the property last year, WPXI-TV reports. The bank was the only bidder for the property at the auction, the station reported, adding that Wells Fargo "essentially brought the mall from itself."
The mall, located about 20 miles northeast of Pittsburgh, was once worth $190 million but recently appraised at just $11 million. It was opened in 2005 after being developed by Zamias Services and Mills Corp., a Virginia firm that has since gone bankrupt.
Some speculated that Wells Fargo Bank would buy the mall and attempt to revive it, according to the Associated Press. The wire service reported that the mall remains open, though the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reported that it was only 55 % occupied as of December.
The bank did not immediately comment on its plans when reached by The Associated Press.

Hi Guys!
Great Hockey game this morning. Ended in a tie....not as good as a win...much better than a loss in my opinion! (Coach might disagree)
Drove home in pouring rain...I 'love' (not) I-285 and I-85 in the rain...gaaahhhh! But, home safely, and babied the old cat, knowing my DS2 was soon to arrive...and it was pouring rain, and Tom E. does not like, is afraid of, all humans except for me...So, Ted arrived..cat freaked..joy joy joy! Ted and I made a shopping run, and then had a wonderful lunch at the Indian restaurant near my home. MMMMMM! Soup, and rice, and 3 veg. entree's, and pakoras... Ted had dessert, but I opted for a second bowl of lentil soup. Then home...freaked out cat, was very happy go outdoors. Glad it had stopped raining..
Kid's gone home, cat came in, checked his food bowl (no, the intruder had not eaten his food) Tom's back outside, and I'm watching St. Louis Blues hockey. Jets are winning in the 2nd period..2-1. Hope St. Louis ends up winning this game..
More rain forecasted tonite...and an all day event tomorrow. Rain gauge says I've gotten 2.5 inches rain today!!!! We'll take all we can get for our lakes!
Roger, glad you're on the mend. Don't push yourself to get back out walking...you don't want to relapse with this flu/cold. Once is enough, right????
Ed, how's your butt? Made me laugh when I read your post. That was some large chunk of meat!!! Bet it will last a few meals, and be delicious!

My big butt is fine!
Dinner tonight:
Slow cooked pulled pork (baked barbecued tofu for J), atomic baked beans, potatoes au gratin. That's Starne's hot sauce (from Paducah, my hometown) on the pork that is on my plate!
Wine of choice: Gosford Reserve Shiraz, Australia
PLENTY of leftovers. I didn't even dent that butt...though I did pull all of it and the rest is in the fridge. Hopefully tomorrow a friend will come over and help try to put a dent in it. He was supposed to come tonight but wasn't feeling right so we postponed until tomorrow. In some ways that will be better because we can just warm up leftovers and Eduardo won't be bustling around in the kitchen so we can visit more. Yes, he's that kind of friend, a good friend that isn't at all insulted to be coming for leftovers.

Howdy y'all. It's scintillating Sunday! I woke up shortly before 6 with a behind the knee cramp that I knew wasn't going to stretch out in the bed, so Lilo and I got up to put the microwave heating wrap on it. It's already feeling quite a bit better. Might go back to bed if Lilo will let me and if I think I can get back to sleep...if not, then I guess it'll be breakfast.

Hi
I have walked today for 5K steps, I was feeling somewhat better and I did need Bananas for Tuesday and with the Nor'easter in the forecast for Monday... I went out today. The temperature was 46 degrees. The Weather is warmer than normal lately. It is another gloomy looking day and the forecast is minimal if any Sunshine today. For Monday the forecast is for a Nor'easter, colder, windy, rainy.
I just looked at the Calendar and Social Security will be nice and early for the next two months on the 8th.
Have a Great Sunday

River of red Skittles coats Wisconsin highway
Published 8:37 p.m. CT Jan. 18, 2017 | Updated 9:59 a.m. CT Jan. 19, 2017
A rain-soaked box aboard a flatbed pickup truck ruptured in Dodge County, coating a stretch of County Highway S in Beaver Dam with hundreds of thousands of red Skittles, the sheriff's office reported Wednesday.
Sheriff's deputies discovered the candy-covered roadway shortly before 9 p.m. Tuesday near Blackbird Road, according to a post on the Dodge County Sheriff's Office Facebook page.
The Dodge County Highway Department was called to clean up the candy-coated shells - packed with such yummy ingredients as sugar, corn syrup, hydrogenated palm kernel oil, tapioca dextrin, sodium citrate and carnauba wax - which were intended to be cattle feed because they did not make the cut for packaging, according to the sheriff's office.
As the price of corn increased in recent years, some farmers have turned to discarded food products to feed their cows.
According to a 2012 Reuters report: "In the mix are cookies, gummy worms, marshmallows, fruit loops, orange peels, even dried cranberries. Cattlemen are feeding virtually anything they can get their hands on that will replace the starchy sugar content traditionally delivered to the animals through corn."
And, apparently, that includes red Skittles.0 -
Good Morning, again.
I did get back to sleep, and the 'big bad noise' must have quit. So I've been up for about 2 hours. Tom E. wanted out, and I gladly obliged him!
Roger glad you felt up to being out and about. Hope your Nor'easter isn't a big bad one. I've seen summer time Nor'easter, can't imagine that in cold weather...yuck!
Ed...hope you were able to get more sleep. Leg cramps, wherever they are located are not fun.
Few house chores this morning, and after that????...maybe nothing!!!

In some ways that will be better because we can just warm up leftovers and Eduardo won't be bustling around in the kitchen so we can visit more. Yes, he's that kind of friend, a good friend that isn't at all insulted to be coming for leftovers.
That was a tasty looking plate of food. You are a really good cook, in contrast I am best at incinerating foods in the skillet
At least You could move on it, when I was getting lower leg cramps I was immobilized while I massaged away the pain.parityanimal wrote: »Howdy y'all. It's scintillating Sunday! I woke up shortly before 6 with a behind the knee cramp that I knew wasn't going to stretch out in the bed, so Lilo and I got up to put the microwave heating wrap on it. It's already feeling quite a bit better. Might go back to bed if Lilo will let me and if I think I can get back to sleep...if not, then I guess it'll be breakfast.
Have a Nice Day
