New Fitbit all set up and working! Home from the gym...did legs, arms and cardio...whew!
Ed, so you can hear my dishwasher, then the Washer must shake your house!! LOL!!! Maybe I should take the dryer buzzer from loud to soft, since I can't hear it anyhow!!
We're being silly, and Roger is up to his knees in snow I fear.
Ok, time to think about dinner...it will be a heat and eat, as I have salad made, spinach and onion cooked, and leftover Chicken Fried Tofu... and a mango to eat for dessert!
Oh, great here comes the needy cat...feeding him 10 minutes ago wasn't enough...now he's whining cuz he wants to sit on my lap and I rock....Guess I"ll eat later..........
Roger, hope all is well for you and your brother. NE is really getting 'walloped'. Sorry.
Flowers on the peach trees...are about to be frozen..there goes peach crops. Mid 20's tonite with wind...they're saying up to 90% will be gone. Sad.

Roger has dealt with this before, and I believe in him and his ability to get through it!
My nap never materialized today either, as I've been playing with the dishwasher and trying to not think about the achey jaws, which are FINALLY starting to ease up. I think that may be what I hate most about having my teeth cleaned, the fact that my whole lower face feels awful for most of the rest of the day!
Sitting here now, sipping some Tuesday Night Red, and waiting for Eduardo's home made multi-cheese shells and cheese gratin to brown up in the oven so we can have supper.
I MAY try putting this wine glass into the dishwasher tonight. MAY...if it seems to fit well, it might be OK. And it's not one of the really delicate glass ones, but one with somewhat thicker, more durable glass.

Hi
I went out walking today and hit 4.1K steps, The temperature was 21 degrees Vs 29. Due to road and sidewalk conditions I did not go as far as I had hoped to go. The street in front of the house is Decent, However as I went further out the streets had icy patches, especially at the Intersection. sidewalks where they had been shoveled were worse and at corners access to them was often blocked by piles of snow from the Plowing.
The lowered snow amounts are due to the storm tracking further west than what they originally thought it would do and that puts us on the warmer side of it. The good and the bad of that is that where I am we ended up with less snow. However it was a heavy snow and a pain to shovel, especially as we went back and forth from rain, sleet, and Snow.
North NJ had depths of snow up to 19 inches, parts of Southern NJ had minimal snow and parts of NY state had 2+ feet of the white stuff
Have a Good Wednesday

Hi ValerieGardenKatGardens wrote: »Roger, have you priced dishwashers lately? Even when I bought it $200 was a 'joke', and I knew it. They advertised a 'loss leader', (which I think is still illegal), but none the less, I went to the 'Thanksgiving Weekend Sale'...it was at a local well respected appliance store here in ATL...so, I looked and couldn't find that dishwasher...and some poor salesman showed up....seems as though they didn't have 'that' particular dishwasher but he did have one that was $50 more, and from there the conversation got 'interesting'. He 'gave' me a much better dishwasher at the price of the advertised one. So, my old dishwasher is far from 'quality', but it works great all these years. Oh, and of course he tried to sell me insurance for the said dishwasher. It was about a quarter of the cost of the original....No way!!!! So that poor guy lost out all around.
And no baby giraffe either......
If I said I never priced dishwashers ? I am my Dishwasher and do not generate that many dishes especially when eating NS entrees
OTOH my brother makes a fair amount of dishes and does his own too.
I do not know if Loss leaders are illegal, It could depend on where You are located.
Interesting that they make Quiet Dishwashers, I suspect they sell good too and at a premium.GardenKatGardens wrote: »Good Morning!
I hope Roger, that the newly revised weather forecast is correct, and you don't have as much snow as originally predicted! I mean, 12 inches of snow is plenty, right????
I need to get my act together today. Gym is a must...as is list making...and some action will make the rest of the week go better as well!!!
Ed, my oldest got one of the quiet dishwashers, and when its running a little light shows on the floor just under the door. Happy to say mine is pretty darn quiet, but I can hear it. What? Wait....I'm pretty deaf. I'll bet mine is actually loud!!! LOL!!!
Yesterday in town, I noticed that the dogwood trees are blooming. Mine are still tight buds, and I'll just about bet that this is the year I will miss seeing them in bloom
Bummer.
I think everything else that is a 'spring' bloomer has already done its thing...and its barely mid March. Oh my! I really hate the freeze that's coming the next two nights, so many things will not survive the cold. Oh, and I have tulips in bloom...not unusual, except they rarely bloom! And the ruffly ones I have in the back do not appear to have buds this year...really strange.
Blackberries that I didn't kill aren't blooming, but they are leafing out. Not sure we can call this one blackberry winter. Maybe Dogwood Winter which we haven't seen in a few years??
Sleep was disrupted several times last night by a yowling cat. So glad its nearly spring...you know who is about to become an outdoor cat once again.
Ok, on with my day
Later...
I suspect that with the rain hitting the snow off and on we ended up with 5 +/- inches of super heavy snow that has slush at the bottom. We even had a puddle at the bottom of the driveway for a while.
Yup I think You are right about the frost killing blooms.
Last year we must have had the type of spring that did damage as I did not see any apples on the local apple trees.
Outdoor Cat, I wonder what cat You might be thinking of ?
I would not be happy with a Yowling cat either FWIW.
Have a Nice Day

Hi Edparityanimal wrote: »Howdy y'all. It's terrific Tuesday!
I've been up since just before 7:00, but distracted by feeding Lilo, feeding me, quick email check, shower, driving to the dentist and having about half an hour of torture...I mean teeth cleaning.
The new dishwasher has a blue light in the upper right corner of the door, near the handle, that shows it's running but it was so quiet I had to get my ear close to it to believe it. The light turns white when it finishes the cycle.
Eddie is so thrilled to have a working dishwasher again, and put the dish rack under the sink. I have reclaimed some counter space there! Eduardo will be glad to have more space near the sink to do prep work too.
Didn't get any nap in yesterday, what with doing all the laundry, totaling up my receipts for show hospitality, then the dishwasher guy came, then making coffee and preparing a few goodies for the Orchid Society meeting, at which I turned in my receipts and received a check for reimbursement. The check has been deposited, of course.
Today I might be able to get that nap in! Right now my jaw is feeling sore from all the wide mouth time in the dentist chair, but I'm still drinking my tea. Might make some decaf coffee in a bit too.
I'm sure You are happy to reclaim counter space, Older kitchens are a little sparse that way compared to modern kitchens. I wish we could do that. Our Dish rack sits in the left hand sink and we wash in the right hand side of it so no reclamation possible
Today is clean the Bathroom ahead of the St Patty's day company. The Bath mat is already in the washer and The Rubber gloves laid out for the rest of the cleaning along with a old kitchen dish sponge for scrubbing whatever needs it. I have been procrastinating doing it Inertia can be a killer that way.
I got a couple of hours of dozing after the second time outdoors shoveling and ended up tired anyway.
You are lucky not to get too much snow and ice, I have seen pictures and video of the chaos on Atlanta highways when that happens.parityanimal wrote: »Well, Valerie, I wasn't going to mention it but I think I can hear your dishwasher here, several suburban towns away...at least something is rumbling! I've been blaming it on trucks.
Roger, I think sun cured roads are much nicer than snow cured roads, but we don't have much of the latter here so I don't get to do a lot of comparison.
Dentist needs to replace one crown and fill a couple of cavities. So, as Arnold said, I'll be back...to the dentist office, but not until April.
Have a Nice Day

Hi Valerie
I wonder what that will do to the Prices for Fresh and canned Peaches?
The New FitBit came already, Just being Nosy, What model ?
Take Care

I got through it, however with the weather forecast for the rest of the week I do not expect the roads or sidewalks to get better soon.
I feel for You after the cleaning, Been there, Done that
The Mac & Cheese looks so delicious. However what with St Patrick's day coming I think I need to buckle down and not cheat until then. I know I'll most likely overeat Friday.
Cheers

Howdy y'all. It's wonderful Wednesday!
28 out there now, but feels like 17! High of 42 today with 0% chance of precipitation.
Need to get out to the store and get milk and a few other items. Fortunately we haven't had any threat of snow so there should be plenty of milk there!
Sink is cleared into the dishwasher, Lilo and I have been fed. Maybe I'll actually get a nap today...
Here's a couple of videos of non-vegans trying vegan desserts:

The mac and cheese did turn out delicious. As you can see, there wasn't a whole lot of it on my plate! I could have easily eaten that much again but resisted. There are two similar portions put back in the fridge. Possibly lunch today. J and I each had just one portion last night.

Hi
I went out walking today and hit 7.4Ksteps, The temperature was 23 degrees Vs 21. Due to road and sidewalk conditions I did not go as far as I had hoped to go. OTOH I did go further than yesterday. The street in front of the house is Decent, However as I went further the same streets that had icy patches still had them in the same spot. I did manage to find a safe route to go further however.
I had a call yesterday around 1:15PM that the frozen portion of my order had shipped. I did not really expect it yesterday and I do today however. I also pulled most of the basement freezer and used a large Putty knife to scrape the frost that had formed in the freezer and dumped it in the sink to melt. So I am ready for the delivery today. I have the Baskets I use all set to go in the living room and the clipboard so I can check in the order
Have a Good Friday

Hi Valerie
I wish I had a nice warm up trend in the weather forecast. It does not get from being well below average temperatures until around more than 7 days out This darn snow looks to be hanging around for a while.
Cheers

Hi Ed
I have a Green hat with a hat band saying Happy St. Patrick's Day for tomorrows walking
Thank You for those humorous videos.

Howdy y'all. It's thrilling Thursday!
26 out there now, but feels like 20. High of 52 sunny degrees expected.
I've been up for a while, but distracted by feeding Lilo, feeding me, clearing the sink, and all the usuals.
Nothing critical on the agenda for today!

Hi
I went out walking today and hit 8.4Ksteps, The temperature was 30 degrees Vs 23. Yesterday I was at 11.5K steps by days end despite a lower step count while walking. The streets and Sidewalks were decent. While I am walking I have not seen nearly as many joggers or walkers since the Snow fell. I have seen a few people walking their dogs.
There is supposed to be rain or snow or a mix moving into the area tonight into tomorrow
Happy St. Patrick's Day, I wore the Green hat with the Happy St. Patrick's Day band on it that my brother gave me a couple of weeks ago while walking.
Have a Good Friday

Howdy y'all. It's fabulous Friday! Been up for a while but distracted by the usual.
Need to clear the sink into the dishwasher, which I just emptied. Maybe get to Kroger this morning...
Happy St. Patrick's Day!
