Hi
I was out doing some walking this Morning. The temperature this morning was 45 degrees on the porch and in the low 50s on the cable channel.
While I was walking I had a Fox run across the road in front of me, Obviously since if it ran across behind me I would not have seen it
Then a while later as I looked off of a bridge I saw 5 Deer eating below me.

I've been fed. The cats will be fed shortly. I need to get the rest of the laundry (whites and towels) folded and put away.
Oh, and I didn't notice the new frozen foods from NS because I don't actually go to the site often any more.
I am not surprised You did not notice. Some of the new foods they are introducing look interesting. I also noticed a few that indicated low supply and I suspect they may be going away to make room for the 4 new frozen items. However the reviews for the two Chipotle bowls indicate they are Hot so I think I will be skipping them. To me that may mean less choice as I do not like foods with heat.
It is cold in the house currently and I have turned the heat on. It was 62 degrees in the kitchen when I headed out and even with the heat on the living room is only 65 degrees, Yuck
I feel it in my fingers.
Have a Nice Weekend

Never thought of canned meat as being a high profit item for thieves before. But I guess it makes sense in Hawaii. I like Spam but not, apparently, as much as Hawaiians do.

From watching cooking shows it seems that they really like Spam out there. I also suspect many things on the islands are higher in cost compared to the mainland due to the extra shipping costs

Howdy y'all. It's scintillating Sunday!
58 out there now with an expected high of 76 and 10% chance of rain.
We were up and out quite late last night and I had turned into a pumpkin by the time I got to bed.
Lilo did insist on being let out of the bedroom at 6:00 but kindly let me go back to sleep then until shortly after 8:00 so I feel like I may have just barely slept enough.
Still need to fold that laundry that is still in the dryer. And I need to empty the dishwasher, clear the sink, and feed the feline fiends.
Lilo is on a longer course of yet a different antibiotic as there was still bacteria in her urine. We think perhaps small stones that are invisible to x-ray, or, possibly, some kind of other issue, but we'll try this and see. She's had her one antibiotic pill that she gets for today.

Maybe that squirrel was trying to kill a spider, when he started the fire with the downed electric wire!
I have been concerned with the amount of distracted driving myself. I do not talk on my phone while driving. I do not even look to see who is calling, or answer. It can wait until I get there. Thus I can keep a more alert eye on all those *kitten* idiots out there who are texting, yacking on the phone, doing their nails, or anything else but pay attention to their driving, and do my best to stay out of their way!
I find it almost amusing that all those lax states had plenty of time to meet the federal regulations and even had extensions allowing them additional time. While I feel bad for the residents, I have to ask, who voted in (and usually kept in) the same "leadership" in the state that fumbled the ball?
It's hard to envision a cardboard "box" that will last 100 years (assuming no high winds?) or paying such a high price to sit, like a cat, in a cardboard box, no matter how luxurious. Very interesting article though.
I guess we'll reach a point where we all have to be strip searched to go shopping. Might not be a bad thing either...as long as we don't have to see each other get strip searched.

Hi ValerieGardenKatGardens wrote: »Good Morning!
Happy to say the new microwave just successfully reheated my cup of coffee!
It arrived safe and sound, partially because I have very good neighbors. USPS set it right in front of my garage door, which is dead center if you're coming up my street...but my neighbor saw it, and had her daughter put it on my porch...so it was still here when I got home from Emory. It was not so much heavy as it was bulky and hard to get a grip on...so moved it into the house on my dolly, and then in the middle of the living room got the actual box out of the big brown box...etc, etc It works almost exactly like my old one so practically no learning curve there!
A good neighbor is priceless.
Just curious, is the new one the same wattage as the old Microwave ?
I know I would have to learn new timing if we had to replace the old 700 watt one currently used here.Who'd have thunk it....Spam a prime target for thieves??? Not being a fan of Spam it just makes me shake my head!!
Speaking of shaking my head...Roger asked me a question the other day, and I knew the answer, just forgot to respond.
You asked about my friend Marietta's hearing loss after her plane trip from Dallas to ATL...not common, but also not exactly rare. Yesterday M said her nurse told her of one of the eye docs who lost his hearing !!in the middle of a surgery procedure!!. I expect someone else finished the surgery, as the now deaf doc took himself to the hearing department at Emory, and was diagnosed with this virus and the auditory nerve..(same as M's diagnoses), then there was another person in that area come in had the same problem.
Viruses are weird and 'mean' little bugs!! M and I had fun...they only lasered one of her eyes... so between us we had three working ears, and 3 working eyes... getting older is sure a bundle of fun??
I'm going to get moving...hair cut and then afternoon with Ted. And should I not get back, Nate has a hockey game tomorrow (Sunday) morning. I think I have Monday 'free???" I sure hope, somebody needs to be cooking and cleaning around here! LOL!!
Later...
Live and learn re: Spam
FWIW In My oh so humble opinion Getting older beats the only currently possible alternative
Thank You for the feedback on the hearing loss, Who Knew, Not me.
Good Luck with the Chores and at the Hockey Game

The Great (So to speak) American Public complains about what is happening and still keeps voting in the same people on the basis as I see it that "All politicians are bad except mine", So it is hard to feel bad for them.
Well looking at the wall structure it appears that the Cardboard is protected from the elements and has structure to allow things to be hung on the walls. I suspect that all bets are off if the roof leaks and water gets to the cardboard and I also suspect it will burn pretty quick too.
strip searched to go shopping, I sure hope not, I need to get in even better shape for that. OTOH it could drive more people to lose weight
Have a Nice Day

Great hockey game this morning, and had to stop at Kroger on the way home, OR Tom E would have no dinner tonite. Well, I also picked up some other things...like $72 bucks to checkout, which DID include the cats food. I think though I may very well not need to go back to a grocery til after Halloween...except to buy some spooky candy for little goblins.
Meanwhile several of the articles and cartoons had me laughing!

Yep, it does! The key pads are a bit smaller, and simpler, than the old one, which I like, and the oven size itself is the same size, though it appears a bit smaller, because the inside is gray. I thought that was quite odd for the oven interior, but talking with Jenn's Mom during the hockey game, and the inside of hers is blue with white speckles like old porcelain dish ware, cups, etc...Now THAT is unusual...I think?

I am not a fan of anything Mustard with one minor exception. I do not mind and sort of like a touch of mustard along with the ketchup on burgers.
Just as I do not use Peppers and fish them out of the NS entrees that have them in them. That is the reason I think I will pass on tasting the Two new Chipotle Dinner Entrees.

Howdy y'all. It's terrific Tuesday! 49 out there now with an expected high of 65 and no chance of rain.
Got J's car re-inspected yesterday, as the oxygen sensor was replaced Friday, and we drove it around a lot on the weekend. Passed inspection this time so he's good to go for his tags. His extension expires at the end of this month so he plans to stop by the tag office on Friday to complete that. It's right around the corner so not at all "out of the way" for us.
My breakfast is almost ready and the cats will be fed soon thereafter. Lilo has had her Zeniquin for today and also her Adequan shot. I am waiting until two hours after the Zeniquin so that I can sprinkle her probiotic on top of her food. She should be good and hungry by then too. LOL.
They'll be fed at 8:00 or shortly thereafter, so it's not too very long.
I didn't make the potato "cheese" cake, but did make a potato and onion pie, with cheese on the bottom, for last night's dinner. The night before was a cheese quiche and I had another pie crust to use. Here's what the potato and onion pie looked like:
