Most of my doctors know who's the cheapest and if they don't, then my insurance company does and will let me know.
Had a rather unsuccessful shopping trip today. The vet didn't have any of Lilo's canned food available but have ordered six cans for me. I have enough of hers, and of Kiara's to last through Sunday so that's not a big deal. I can get more of both at PetSmart. The vet stop was just on the way home from Kroger so it wasn't out of the way. They are generally just a few cents cheaper than PetSmart on Lilo's canned food.
At Kroger I got the sodas for J and a free Kind bar, along with some salsa and a bag of chips for J. And managed to not get the yogurt that I need to buy soon for the sugar gliders. I have enough for a night or two and will just have to get that when I go out to get the cat food at PetSmart. Publix is in that same parking lot area and may have the kind of yogurt I buy for them. If not, then the longer trip to Kroger, but I'm not going to Kroger just to get ONE ITEM if Publix, which is closer, has that. Besides, I need to pick up a scrip at Publix.
Glad to hear you went to the doctor, Roger! I don't think any of us like to go.
Hi Ed
I tend to wait to long to see a doctor, Back in 80s or 90s I finally broke down and went to the doctor and remembered them saying stand up straight right before I woke up on the floor. They bunged me into the Hospital that was across the street, days later the pneumonia was cleared up. I have been more cautious ever since then
Good Luck with Your shopping

Howdy y'all. It's thrilling Thursday!
74 out there now with an expected high of 90 and 20% chance of rain. Maybe I'll get out to buy the yogurt this morning. And a few cans of cat food.
Cats got me up before 6:30 this morning but that was OK I guess. I've had my oatmeal and bacon and they'll get their food shortly.

Former Los Altos baseball player sues coach after being benched, claims bullying
By Hayley Munguia, The San Gabriel Valley Tribune
Posted: 08/14/17, 3:13 PM PDT Updated: 15 hrs ago
A former Los Altos High School student and baseball player is suing the school district and his former coach for hundreds of thousands of dollars because the coach repeatedly benched him.
According to the suit, the school’s head varsity baseball coach, Gabriel Lopez, repeatedly refused to let 17-year-old Robbie Lopez, no relation, play throughout his senior year. The suit claims this constituted a pattern of “harassment and bullying.”
The teenager and his parents are seeking $150,000 or more, according to the suit.
Hacienda La Puente Unified athletic director Andrew Formano and assistant superintendent of human resources Jill Rojas both said they could not comment on the matter. Gabriel Lopez did not respond to a request for comment.
Have a Great Thursday

Lucky us we get a chance of rain into the overnight hours and somewhat cooler than yesterday
Hmm...
Oatmeal, I was wondering what to do for my midmorning snack, Thanks for the reminder that I have some. I was thinking of a Nathan's Hot Dog on a 40 cal slice of 647 bread with a touch of ketchup, the Oatmeal would be lower calories.

For tonight's dinner I made some small pieces of garlic cheese toast, then followed with zoodles (zucchini noodles) and squoodles (yellow squash noodles) topped with spicy marina sauce, and then generously sprinkled with Parmesan/Romano cheese. Mine was also accompanied by some bratwurst, as I had put a couple of links out to thaw the night before and I needed a bit more protein in my meal.
J liked the zoodles and squoodles well enough. I'll continue to practice my technique on those though as I think I could have cooked them a bit longer. Better underdone than overdone and cooked to mush though!
Overall, I was pleased with the dinner.

Howdy y'all. It's fabulous Friday! 75 out there now with an expected high of 89 with 20% chance of showers.
Laundry still looming. Cats will be fed shortly, as will I.
Still need to buy cat food though as I'll otherwise run out of canned food after Sunday morning feeding.

Hi
I did a little walking today, I still have a sore throat. The temperature this morning was 76 on the news channel and 75 degrees on the front porch.
It started raining about 10 minutes before I left to get some coffee. If I had not slept in late I could have been ahead of it
It kept alternating between a light rain and heavy rain with periods of Thunder.
Have a Great Friday

The Garlic Cheese Toast sounds delicious.
IMO the Zukes and Yellow summer squash go mushy so quickly. I agree that better a little under than overdone. I like them sliced and crisped in the skillet using Olive Oil.
I have ended up with the bottom of my shorts wet from the rain since I only wore the Rain Jacket. It was not that comfortable between the Humidity, Temperature and lack of air flow from the rain gear. I hope Your day goes well. The rain is forecast to go away later and then come back late afternoon with Thunderstorms again.parityanimal wrote: »Howdy y'all.

Salad (salad mix bought the other day at Aldi) with Zesty Italian dressing (also bought at Aldi) and a few croutons (Aldi) and tri-color tortilla strips (Aldi)
Red Beans and Rice (mix in a box, bought at Aldi)
A small glass of red wine. (Not Aldi - wine from my wine club that claims not to be a club)

Howdy y'all. It's sensational Saturday! I've been up for a couple of hours but distracted by feeding me, feeding the cats, clearing the sink, getting the enormous pan of beans into the oven.
Yes, it's another pool party day so the beans are baking now.
68 degrees out there now with an expected high of 92 and 0% chance of rain. Should be a good day for a pool party. I don't actually get in the pool much, because I'm so pale I burn in 10 to 15 minutes. Taking a BP med that makes me even MORE sensitive to the sunlight doesn't help either. But I sit around a lot on the front downstairs (shaded) deck, and leave the pool that is upstairs, higher up the hill, in the back/side yard, mostly to the ones who can take the sun. I do get in later in the day for a bit, when part of it is finally shaded but still have to watch out for reflected sunlight from the rest. So 10 to 15 minutes then.
The downstairs deck has ceiling fans and is usually a bit cooler feeling. I sit in a rocker, talk to EVERYONE as they come in, and usually help some with the delivery of burgers and dogs from the grill to the serving area, which is inside where it's nice and cool. And get up to stroll around periodically.
Then when the party is winding down, J and I pack up our little bit of stuff and head home to see our cats, sometimes stopping on the way to get him some food as he usually just snacks a little bit at the party, not really knowing on most dishes whether they are vegetarian or not or even who to ask as we don't know who brought what. He might eat some deviled eggs if they are there. We know who brings those, or store made potato salad, if any is there. And maybe a spoonful of my baked beans, and possibly dessert if there is some kind of chocolate thing that looks just irresistible. But I will eat, usually, a burger (no bun) and a dog (no bun) along with some beans, maybe a bit of potato salad or scalloped potatoes if they are there and some of whatever dessert looks irresistible to me.
One guy, who, of course doesn't always come (who can ALWAYS come anyway?) often brings those scalloped potatoes. If I see them on the table, I know for sure that he is there. And there's one guy who usually brings his wife's home made apple dumplings, NO SUGAR ADDED, that she makes and sends with him, even though she doesn't come to the party herself, and she usually has some other activity planned. I guess their Saturday's are "do things separately" days or something, but we're glad she makes the dumplings for us!

Hi ValerieGardenKatGardens wrote: »Good Morning!
Roger I'm glad you went to see a Doctor. Hopefully the antibiotic will help you, if not, like in 3 days, you need to go back/or call back for a different antibiotic....glad the strep test was negative.
Ed...I hate forgetting that ONE item, and its always something necessary! I went to Whole Foods on Wednesday and they didn't have my hot bar stuff...so, just for fun went the next day (yesterday) and they had what I'd wanted the day before. I wish they had a set schedule for entrees...
Yesterday was gym, Aldi's, and that return trip to WF. Today will be gym, bank, and ?????
With kitchen chores, laundry, floors tucked in here and there as time allows.
I need to get dressed and retrieve the curb side trash bins. I looked when got up at 8, but the trash hadn't been collected yet...at 8 I could have put a robe over my night gown and gone to the curb...probably not at 10.
Later...
(later I will go back and enjoy the cat pix and other posts.... I did of course see the cat having a bad day after waking up....thats me in the mornings...having a great day until i STAND UP. Thats when my reality strikes.) LOL!!
They did say if no improvement by the weekend to come back in. Luckily I feel much better. I shall stay the whole 10 day course of pills naturally.
Isn't that always the way, I went to the Grocery Store Friday morning and of course I forgot one of the main items I wanted to pick up Oh well.
Have a Good Day

Interesting, I had heard that from others that the some of the BP meds can make You sensitive to sunlight.
I do use bread with burgers and dogs, OTOH it is the 647 low calorie, low carb bread and it is a good tasting bread, just not inexpensive if not on sale. At least I think $3.99 is high. On sale this week it was $2.49
Have a Good Saturday
