Hi
I was out walking today and hit 7k steps so far and The temperature was 15 degrees vs 21 degrees yesterday and was a bit nippy for walking despite wearing the new Thermal Tops and Bottoms. The Bottoms were delivered yesterday, I ordered Yesterday morning and paid the $5.99 for same day delivery due to the weather forecast. FWIW My front porch showed 12 degrees vs the 15 degrees on the Cable News Channel at 6AM and they also reported a wind chill of 0 degrees in a nearby town. I was comfortable between the Thermals, Heated Mittens, two layers of sweatshirts and a Hoodie
The Sun is shining and I did hear a woodpecker pecking away and some birds singing despite the cold as I was walking.
Have a Great Sunday

Tom's fed, me too! Not much else accomplished this morning because I watched a PBS program for1.5 hours! Whoa! For somebody who doesn't watch TV that was an accomplishment!
Now time to hit the floor running. Need to empty dishwasher so I can clear the sink, fluff and fold the clothes in the dryer so I can dry the load of clothes I need to wash...you get the picture??? Yeah, gonna be one of 'those' days.
Interesting article about Costco Roger. I don't own any of their stocks, but I do keep my annual goldstar membership. $5 extra dollars is not a deal breaker. (its about $0.42 more a month...or Rogers found coins monthly!).... I knew about Costco's size, etc, but what I REALLY like about Costco, its a great place to work, great benefits, and they pay a decent salary to their workers, unlike WalMart. So you and I are not supporting the Costco workers with Food Stamps like we are supporting the WalMart folks who don't make a living wage. Also better quality of 'stuff' from food to clothes, to whatever....Hi Valerie
I just had a mental Picture of You leaping out of the chair and sprinting to the Kitchen
Sorry Ed, missing you at Costco. I sure hope you got there as the big garage door opened...cuz Costco is a 'zoo' on the weekends. Ted and I used to go on Sunday mornings, and were in the parking lot when the door went up! Easy to navigate, no crowds, and easy check outs. (and this was before the do it yourself checkout areas). We had quite a routine. He'd drive up from ATL, we'd hit 'Harry's', which was the Whole Foods forerunner in this area, first, again no crowds..and then be around the corner at Costco when they opened. Drop Mom off, and he'd head back to Midtown! It was such a ritual, that to this day, there are half a dozen old Harry's workers who remember us, and are working at Whole Foods. One little Indian lady always asks 'How's Mister? and tell him Hi for us'...same from the lady in the bakery area where they have those devilish pizza's! And several guys as well.
Ok, time to quit talking about it, and actually 'move'...
Later...
PS, still no baby giraffe
I have heard that CostCo is a good place to work in the past. I have a Business account from back in the 80s when they opened their first nearby location. I agree that there clothes and other items are good quality.
If I plan to go to CostCo I try and be there before the doors open too. I like being able to park close in and zoom through the store. I need to go in the upcoming week for more Vegetables. I am nearing the end of my last bag of them
Your CostCo has a self checkout section? That is something I am not a fan of FWIW.
Devilish Pizzas ?
Have a Nice Sunday

Hi Edparityanimal wrote: »Howdy y'all. It's scintillating Sunday!
35 out there right now, but supposed to reach a mostly cloudy (but no rain) high of 67 this afternoon.
Clam chowder for breakfast, along with my morning vitamins, Metformin, and two ibuprofen tablets.
When A arrived Friday night, J was still working late, so A and I went to L'Thai for dinner. They have two locations, and they offer LOTS of vegan options. If one wants to be vegan, of course, one then has to make sure that no eggs (for example) are included in their order of fried rice or pad see ew, but a lot of the sauces are vegan by default.
They pride themselves on offering organic food and as much as possible is sustainable.
Information on the three locations can be seen at www.lethai.com
And now, for futuristic farming, watch this cartoon.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yslNVfRvTJY
It is supposed to stay cold overnight for where I am. Arctic Chill does not leave until sometime Monday later in the day at that.
I Have eaten The Pad Thai, Pad See Ew, Tasty too, and Fried Rice which has a different taste than the Chinese Fried Rice IMO.
Thanks for the Link and Videos

Good Sunday Morning!
I have been here for quite awhile...'here' meaning online! Had flagged several video's or posts that I wanted to peruse....that took awhile. Then I started reading here, after checking my lottery ticket, and watching the zoo tech clean the giraffe's cage to bare concrete floor, and then put down new bedding. It was hilarious. The tech would come in with either shovel or big broom, leaving the door open, and the giraffe would shut the door. So the poor girl would get to the open door with a big shovel of old bedding, and the doorway out was closed! Eventually she was able to get it cleaned. If giraffe's had vocal chords that giraffe would be slapping her very pregnant sides and laughing herself silly! So, as you gathered, no baby giraffe yet.
Then as I said, I came to this site, and was distracted again...this time by Ed's post about L'Thai. Cuz its sorta close by...(the one in Tucker, Ed)...after awhile I realized I've been there before...unfortunately it was not a great experience. We had an 'old' waiter, who got everything confused. I don't think I ever got what I'd ordered...finally just ate what was in front of me, and gave up. Went with Marietta, a fave place for her and Doug to go for dinner...they loved it...etc. She was appalled by the service. We've not gone back. I think I may sneak down there one day and give it a second chance? maybe?
Also fit breakfast into this morning, and a little bit of Tom E. time...he's outside now.
My list is short....maybe a load of laundry, maybe mop the foyer and/or the kitchen,will hull some strawberries, and go to the gym!
It has warmed to 63, high predicted of 67...so pretty much what it is.....is what it will be!
Roger
Yep. my CostCo has 6 self check out stations...and they are easy to use, as I in general HATE those do it yourself stations. And devilish Pizza....have you looked at those slices of pizza they sell? Dripping cheese and oil!!! Very devilish!! (I ate one once, long ago, but I recall it being very tasty!) Your Costco have prepared foods? I remember seeing the pizza, hot dogs, big bread pretzels, and I want to say popped corn.
Ok, time to move around a bit. A bit sore. Had an Aleve yesterday evening. Quads AND Hamstrings were both ouchie! real ouchie! Today somewhat better.

Hi
I was out walking today and hit 8,480 steps so far and The temperature was 21 degrees vs 15 degrees yesterday and was OK for walking as there was no wind.
I have been cleaning out the basement Freezer. I did not realize that some things had slipped to the bottom of it. I pulled a NS Banana Nut Muffin and a NS Blueberry Muffin both from my 7th delivery. I know that since I had marked the delivery number on them. Both of them had Enjoy By Dates of December 2014
Despite that having been frozen they were tasty when I warmed them. I warm up all the NS Baked Goods.
Have a Great Monday

I did have a burst of energy yesterday and vacuumed the Living Room and possibly this will be strange? Also the Kitchen
If I said I have never been in a Whole Foods...
I thought I saw a sign indication one coming nearer than the others.
They have a Hot food bar and seating once You get past the checkout. Prices are pretty good too. And in the back by the meats section You can buy Whole Cooked Chickens or Racks of Ribs. I had the CostCo slices of Pizza in the past. It was OK, not super delicious but easily edible and inexpensive.
Today is Oreo Cookie Day, 100 Years ago the first Oreo Cookie was sold to a grocer in NJ, I heard that on the cable News Channel, Also i is National Dentist DayGardenKatGardens wrote: »Good Monday Morning!

Howdy y'all. It's marvelous Monday!
56 out there now and supposed to get to 70, with 10% chance of precipitation.
Need to get out to get bottled water I think, but not much else on the agenda today. Leftover Chinese for breakfast. Probably for lunch too!

Lilo would definitely do that kind of bird watching, but I suspect she'd burn herself trying to get that bird out of there prematurely! If she smells chicken cooking she dances around the kitchen making all sorts of noises to let me know that she's ready to have hers NIAOW!
I usually take a small paper plate and put a few chicken scraps on it for her. It makes her happy.

My red bananas finally got ripe! I bought them at the Farmers Market just a little over a week ago, and it took them this long to ripen. They start to feel a little softer on the outside when they get ripe.

Good Tuesday Morning!
Today is chest day at noon at the gym. Then I think maybe a trip to Home Depot to get the rest of the door handles. Need 3 for my bedroom, and 2 'dummy' ones for the laundry closet. Oh and a new toilet doohickey that fills and then stops the water in the tank. It has stuck a time or two. Want to fix it before I leave for vacation.
No exciting news here. Going to be another great day weather wise. Threats of rain tomorrow, which is fine. We need it. Although we have had some rain, its not been enough our drought is slowly worsening, and our lake (water source for Metro Atlanta, is 10 feet below full pool. This is no way to start the summer.
I have one more meal of leftovers and then I will need to cook something. I am thinking I want a red lentil soup. If I make it today, it will be even better tomorrow and nice to have on a rainy afternoon! Will even buy a nice crusty bread roll to go with it.

Hi
I was out walking today and hit 7,202 steps + 1 Cent and The temperature was 43 degrees vs 21 degrees yesterday and was OK for walking as the Rain in the forecast was only a drizzle for a short while .
In the weird news., To Me department, from Here:
http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2017-03-04/house-was-3d-printed-under-24-hours-cost-just-10000This House Was 3D-Printed In Under 24 Hours At A Cost Of Just $10,000
While 3D-printing may have been faded away in recent years from the spotlight of core "disruptive" technologies, that may soon change again after a company managed to 3D-print an entire house in just 24 hours. Located in Russia, the following 400-square-foot home, or 37 square meters, was built in just a day, at a cost of slightly over $10,000.

Howdy y'all. It's terrific Tuesday!
59 out there now, high of 67 predicted with 80% chance of after lunch precipitation, at least according to the Weather Channel page. My phone's weather thingie seems to isolate the rain a bit more, timewise.
Dinner last night was at J's Mini Hot Pot in Duluth (I think it was in Duluth) where we each got our own individual pot of broth and an enormous amount of food, mostly vegetables, to cook in it.
J had vegetable broth and the "mixed vegetables" tray, which included lots of green things, some tofu, tofu skin, small piece of corn on the cob, some parboiled taro, a slice of potato, some mushrooms, a piece of carrot, a piece of daikon, and I don't know what all else. He requested his broth spicy hot (75 cents extra) and added on an egg, since he's not vegan though that dinner choice was.
I had beef bone broth, some thinly sliced beef, some thinly sliced lamb, an egg, most of the same veggies as J, though his had some watercress and mine did not, and a chunk of hot dog (which I thought rather strange) to make my own non vegetarian dinner.
A had some seafood and beef combination.
Each tray had your choice of several kinds of noodle to cook in the broth as well.
Off to one side in the restaurant, there is a large selection of sauces that you can mix or take as is, and plenty of small bowls to put the sauce in, and the bowls can also be used to make your own little bowl of soup if you like. A chose to do that with her egg and some hot broth, at the end of the meal. I boiled my egg, and J poached his.
At the end they offered, free of charge, a very small bowl of shaved ice with several choices of topping. I had red bean topping while A and J both had lychee topping.
It was very good, and ALL of us left some green stuff behind on the large tray, as there was simply too much green stuff to cook and eat all of it.
Today a trip to the puppet museum or something is in the plans.
Need to get the sink cleared.

Hi Valerie
Is it the Toilet Fill Valve sticking until the water starts going down the overflow pipe or is it the Handle sticking, I have had both problems in the past.
If You do not get it fixed You could always turn off the water that the wall just in case.
Did You ever mention when You are leaving on Vacation?
Good Luck

The floss was really hard to get down between, at the back of the tooth, but I got it down anyway. When I pulled it up, there was a "POP" and the crown was laying on my tongue. I was a bit nonplussed, to say the least.
But I was at the dentist's office half an hour later, in the process of getting it fixed up. 45 minutes after I got to the office it was all fixed up and we cold go out and about on our previously planned afternoon outing.
My breakfast Chinese was actually warmed up in the microwave. I like Chinese but don't know if I'd like it cold.

Food review and Bucket List Check Off:
Krispy Kreme NUTELLA DONUT!
I tried the Nutella filled donut, which is actually filled with a mixture of Nutella and something else, topped with chocolate frosting, chocolate drizzle, and nuts.
zOMG! This is possibly the most evil donut in the world.
They also have a Nutella donut that is just a regular donut shape, with similar frosting, so I guess that the Nutella is in the frosting and/or drizzle as well, but I figured the filled donut would give me the WHOLE experience at once.

Food review:
NAN - Fine Thai Dining in Midtown Atlanta
My party found the appetizers to be tasty. Especially nice was the chicken satay, which showed up with 6 nice pieces, when most restaurants only give 4, though they may have been trying to be nice since there were three of us at the table. Not sure. In any case, if 6 is the norm, and they were pretty large, then that justified the $9 price for it.
The meal, on the other hand, while good, wasn't anything to write home about. It was good. But I can't really say it was excellent and honestly felt it was a bit overpriced. My Siam chicken was good, and there was a decent amount of it. Nice presentation on the chicken, served on a boat made from a scooped out wedge of pineapple, it made a very attractive dish, with the yellow and white pineapple fried rice next to it. A little skimpy on the green beans, but I know most Americans want more meat and not so many vegetables. The pineapple fried rice was rather bland and not a whole lot better than plain steamed rice. There were flecks of yellow in it, and what appeared to be yellow currants as well, but no taste of pineapple and really not much taste of anything except, perhaps, a hint of possibly saffron. Definitely a bit of a disappointment there.
If you're wanting a fine dining evening, and can afford to pay for it, this might be a great place to take someone you want to impress. For a casual lunch, not so much the place to go.
I gave it 3 out of 5

Hi
I was out walking today and hit 7.1K steps so far and The temperature was 51 degrees vs 21 degrees yesterday and there was a wind. I had dressed for the temperature and with the wind it was a little chilly. I will be going back out to Costco later on for Vegetables,Kleenex and Vitamins. Then on to the ShopRite for few things, 7 or 8 including Bananas and whatever fruit looks good at a decent price so I expect to get my steps in.
Have a Great Wednesday
