Good to see you this week..Your Monday trips to ATL are surely arduous!
San Diego for work?, rest? fun?...etc. hopefully the trip does not begin at 4:45! That's just too early for anything!
I love Ed and Rogers cartoons and vid's. Always entertaining!
Hope you had a good dinner, and a lovely glass of wine, and are now asleep! I'm waiting on Cat! This is a new thing with him. Not sure what's up.
Hi Valerie
As I understand it Cats will do what they feel like.
I do not recall seeing one either, I did see an afternoon post OTOH.GardenKatGardens wrote: »Hey, I don't see my morning post??? Don't tell me the internet trolls stole it again?!?!??!
Not a busy day today.... Folded that last load of clothes from yesterday, made my breakfast, hit the gym, got home just after the rains started, fixed either a very late lunch or something, and about 3hours later decided I needed to eat again.
So, well fed, waiting on Tom E. Wonder what he does during this late evening adventure? Not a girl friend...so then if not that, what?
Gonna call him, go get into my jammies and stand in the doorway tapping my toes after that. LOL!
See you in the morning....shopping will be high on my list, as big rain day on Thursday, and no real interest in shopping on Friday....
Nothing wrong with having an easy day IMO.
I do not think that standing there tapping Your toes will do anything beyond having You feel chilled.
The latest forecast I saw last night shows Friday's Overnight lows at 25 degrees which is colder than what they were showing Monday
Have a Nice Day

Hi Edparityanimal wrote: »Howdy y'all. It's wonderful Wednesday!
58 out there now with an expected high of 62 and 40% chance of rain.
I need to get some breakfast together for me and for the cats.
Maybe some laundry and maybe just a teensy bit of shopping.
Your weather is now starting to run warmer than here, Lucky You.
Stay Dry.
I remember the commercials for those, OTOH we never had one in the house.parityanimal wrote: »We had one of these, and liked it well enough.

We did not have the wedger blade.

So...red wine is good for us...BUT WAIT! THERE'S MORE!...even moderate consumption...well, I'll just take my chances. Seems like everything we eat, breathe, drink or look at can have health consequences but I'm going to LIVE, not just exist...you know?

Howdy y'all. It's thrilling Thursday! 49 out there now with an expected high of 58 and 100% chance of rain.

gonna watch a few minutes of the news, get out of the house to pick up a very few groceries. Can't be an effective Vegan if you don't have any greens in the house!
Roger did you read thru the articles you posted? The one about Mumps ? in particular? If you read about 2/3rds of the way thru the article it talks about the risks associated with Mumps...and the last one mentioned is deafness. I haven't heard a word from Marietta in a week, and it was then that she said her hearing was getting worse again in that ear not better as tested had shown...she hosted a 'Tea Party' for her little great nieces while in Texas, and flew to and from Texas...no doubt there was at least a child or two on board. Certainly not definitive evidence, but a new angle to consider.....
Yes Roger, standing at the door and tapping my foot would be for my benefit...Cat doesn't really give a darn!
Ed, wine seems to be taking a beating just like coffee has over the past 30 years than I can recall. Coffee/caffeine has gone from 'evil' to 'great' .....cancer causing to protective via all the phytonutrients it has....
The really scary article is from England where the article states that Dementia is the Number One Killer in Britain, surpassing heart disease....
Good thing we had Emmy's Slice and Dice Demo, and all the cartoons to off set the other 'news'. (for the record, I did not have a Slice and Dice!) I did on the other hand buy a dicer thing about 3 years ago, and every time Emmy had to stand on her step stool, I had to laugh and remember mine..the diced material fell into a plastic or glass container so it was neat, BUT, I could not for the life of me get it to actually close, thereby dicing what ever I'd put into it. So I set the darned thing on the floor and stomped on it...that worked, but who wants to eat food that you've pretty much stepped on???? It went straight to trash.
Heading for Kroger and Walmart...(need a new set of 'sweats' for the winter...and of course Cat Food.... Kroger will have my greens and a sweet potato, and some banana's, etc.
Later...
Hi Valerie
I did read the Mumps article, It did not occur to me to connect it like You did to Marietta OTOH.
So many foods have gone from Good for You to bad for You and Vice versa.
Was that dicer the one I have seen advertised on TV recently? The commercial makes it look easy to use, naturally.
Have a good shopping trip.

Hi All,
It’s hard to keep up with you all. I am reading through everyone’s posts and loving your content. I can’t respond to everything but know that I am thoroughly enjoying your activity.
I did much enjoy the wine last night. I may have even enjoyed a little tonight as well. I reached the office this morning at 7:30 and left my last meeting tonight at 6. Another long day.
I was based out of Chicago and covered 12 states in the Midwest. I just was promoted to a national position based out of our HQ in Georgia. I can’t move right away due to personal reasons but my company is so great they will work with me on a commuting program for up to 2 years... hence the back and forth. My previous role involved lots of travel too. This is a little easier... same hotel for 3 nights in a row and evenings to myself. Before I was working all day and entertaining at night. The really hard thing is 90%+ of my meals are in restaurants. I went vegan last New Year’s. I would have done it sooner if I realized I need to put myself first and that it is manageable with all the travel and events.
Red wine is great! Sweet dreams!
Hi
Thank You for the feedback.
It would appear that unlike what has been happening in many companies You are working for one of the Good Ones.
Years ago I enjoyed flying or driving all over, These days I suspect I would not deal with the hassles at the airports well.
Good Luck and have a Nice Day

Hi
I did more walking this Morning. The temperature this morning was 41 on the porch and 45 on the cable channel. As I was walking the breeze started up and the Wind chill is supposed to be worse this afternoon and to help the wind chill the temperature is forecast to drop during the day.
The Weather forecast shows a overnight low in the 20s for tonight
I need to get out for fruit today too.
Darned shame

Hi ValerieGardenKatGardens wrote: »Good Morning Everybody!
Rainy day...and none too warm or bright either! This may be a nap kinda day? Nearly 10a.m. and my major accomplishments so far are pathetic...unloaded dishwasher, microwaved and am eating a nice big sweet potato to go along with my morning banana. WOW! Who's impressed??
LOL!!
Later today I'll push the trash out to be picked up in the morning, Take myself to Sweet Tomatoes (salad bar place, with a soup bar, a small side bar of pasta and/or pasta-ish dishes, a small offering of fresh fruit, and some other stuff, and soft serve ice cream...( you get to see a lot of littles, faces beaming, ever so carefully carrying their dish of delight back to the table!
(That's near Gwinnett Place Mall..Ring Road surrounds the mall, and Sweet Tomatoes is on Ring Road. Its my old go to, for lunch. If you don't already have it, you might want to download Happy Cow to your phone...you can find other Veg/Vegan places to eat.
And after eating I'll go watch O do her gymnastics practice.
(the longish description of SW was for Ahren's benefit. Being Vegan is not always easy...Also there are Indian and Hispanic places around. I find it easier to eat at ethnic places than 'American' restaurants
I had heard that about some of the ethnic places, that they have many Vegan Dishes.
Even if I wanted to I could not download anything to my Dumb Phone
Unfortunately that does mean I miss out on some Bargains that need a App to access.
I seem to remember that McDonald's French Fries used to have beef fat applied as well as there being beef fat in the shortening they were cooked in. Sugar IMO is quite commonly used give a nice coloring to deep fried foods.I agree, Roger...the Kroger article that Ed posted is very interesting...I really can't imagine why they want to get into clothing??? Granted retail has a really sweet markup...but I'd rather not buy my clothes at Kroger!! I knew about their other stores, or at least a few of them, but that list of Kroger by another name is L O N G!!!!
I think I'm still a bit miffed at Kroger for taking away my Senior Discount...and I know I'm not alone on that score.
The video Ed posted about McD's french fries is very interesting and telling at the same time. I knew FF's were given a coating of sugar...and some fast foods also use milk on their fries..ugh, but they McD's were right up front about the entire process. I saw the video about their chicken nuggets, was afraid to watch it! Does anyone else remember when in maybe the 70's the rumor went around saying that Wendy's burgers were made from worms??!! I don't know what other fast food chain started that, but for awhile it surely set Wendy' back.
My fav. cartoons this morning Roger was the dog with that 'Waiting for dinner' look! She's too cute not to feed! I mean who could resist that look??? And I can relate to the happy LITTLE car, and the Semi. My Fit is pretty small, and the Fiat that I had in the 80's was even smaller. When I worked at a hospital in IL, I'd take the interstate to work, and if I looked out my window I was about the height of the semi's wheel wells!! That's little! I loved that crazy little Italian car...gave him 6 good Italian names for heritage sake!
Ok, back to the original issue....to nap, or not to nap????
Later...
I went through many of the videos following the French Fries.
I do not recall the rumor regarding Wendy's Burgers. I do remember scammers putting Dead Rats (mice) in their chili to try and extort money.
I think I would be afraid to get on the highway at high speeds in a small car, You are braver than I.

Howdy y'all. It's fabulous Friday!
44 out there now with an expected high of 65 and 0% chance of rain.
I've been up for quite a while but distracted by the usual stuff.
Need to clear the sink and run the dishwasher.
We will be taking Lilo in this afternoon for another follow up urinalysis, to see if she's still got a a lot of bacteria in her urine.
If she does, I'm not sure what the next steps would be or how far we will take it. Probably an ultrasound would be next, if we want to continue to pursue this. As that isn't TERRIBLY expensive, we'll probably do that if needed, but as she's nearly 15, if this persists, without any apparent cause, we may just have to keep her comfortable. Not happy thinking about that so let's hope for the best.

Well, Lilo wasn't giving any up this afternoon. We'll try again on Sunday afternoon. J has been working on some kind of difficult programming issue tonight so I basically just made food, put it in front of him, and it got eaten.
I wasn't feeling like cooking all that much myself but we had pizza earlier in the week and I wasn't going to order that again. Finally made spaghetti with sauce from a jar. I baked a couple of plain chicken tenders for extra protein for my meal. Lilo had a few bites of the chicken too, and heartily approved.

Howdy y'all. It's superlative Saturday!
41 out there now with an expected high of 53 and no chance of rain.
We have regional orchid judging photography today. And while out we need to buy a few hospitality supplies for the local orchid society meetings. Rather than being reimbursed, I've got the permission of the treasurer to use the society's credit card to buy the supplies and then give him the receipt. J, as president, has one of the two cards so we'll do that while out.
Now I need to finish this mug of tea, clear the sink, feed the cats, and get showered, after which I may have a couple more mugs of tea.

Hi
I did more walking this Morning. The temperature this morning was 23 on the porch and 25 on the cable channel. As I was walking I could feel the cold through my sweatshirt under my Hoodie and my nose felt the cold too.
The Weather forecast from Friday for a overnight low in the 20s for overnight was correct
I got out for fruit Friday and Picked up a 5 pound box of Tangerines and a 3 pound bag of Fuji Apples.

Monday I am getting my hearing evaluation, and we'll see where that goes...
I so hope this goes well...the last place was a mistake. I have no doubt the hearing aids were not at fault...but the tech's just never could understand what I needed/wanted. Sad when you have several thousand dollars sitting in your ears, and still cant hear diddly squat!
I think its too late for lunch, but I'm going to eat it anyhow! Then if any light left I may try to blow the leaves off the driveway. They're still pretty damp, so this may well be an exercise in futility.
Ed, thinking of you and Lilo. Hope her urine is clear, meaning its much much better. Poor old kitty. Let us know how things are with her.
Roger, I'm so sorry your weather is getting colder...but at least you're not in Chicago like Ahren, last I saw last night they were expecting snow!!! ugh!!
I would be aggravated if I still could not hear and then felt like I was talking to the wall.
I'm sorry it is getting colder too. On the good side at least no snow in the forecast, yet.
