Hi
I'm back from walking again and no cents. The temperature this morning was 51 on the porch and 54 on the cable news channel. The forecast rain has not started yet, I could see that a few stray drops had hit the glass where I walked. I was dressed a bit lightly due to the warmer temperature and the wind had a bit of a chill to it.

Hi ValerieGardenKatGardens wrote: »Hi! Busy day, not much accomplished.
. Gym and Groceries.
I hd't heard of the scam that Roger spoke of. Just the people who would file with your SS# while claiming to be you. Also, I have mine direct deposit, they have my account number on file, so I don't have to send that every year. My paper check was stolen from my mailbox when I lived in my apartment in ATL one year. What a mess. I did eventually get my money..the fed's check was cashed at an appliance store in South ATL...they signed it...but misspelled my name. Guess nobody asked to see the 2 forms of ID that is supposed to be checked if you cash out a Tax refund check.
I had not heard that You needed two forms of ID to cash a refund check. I just go to the bank and partially deposit and part cash back the check. They do not ask for ID, They know me at the bank I went to and the other bank my brother and I go to. A misspelled name and they never noticed.
The record high for Wednesday was 80 in at least one part of NJ. That was also a record high for the entire month of February here in NJ. Today is forecast to have the days temperatures dropping throughout the day with Ice building up in the Northeast corner of NJ.FOOD ALERT. Do not even LOOK at Peeps..."pancake and syrup." OMG! Stay safe..do not buy! LOL but they are tasty!!
I had no idea what blue insulators were selling for. I'll have to go back to that page you provided the link to Roger. All I know is mine are blue. LOL!
Sorry you had to sit at the courthouse today Ed. It probably was warm. We set a new record LOW topping previous warm overnight. and record HIGH today of 77 degrees. I loved it! No coats or jackets...just warmness!
Tomorrow and Friday they're predicting we'll break high temps both days! Yahoo!!!
Glad to see I'm not the only one who's not so crazy about pickles! My Mother used to make 'bread and butter pickles'..have no idea why they were called that...but they were pretty ok!
Going to see if I can get Tom E. to come inside so I can go to bed. No Olympics for me tonite. It was a late night last night, followed by a very late awakening this morning.
Later...
Oh, I did do a load of laundry this morning...
I developed a taste for Bread and Butter Pickles eating the Home Made ones at my Grandparents that they made with pickles from their fairly large garden.
I shall be interested in knowing if the insulators You have are worth any real money
Have a Nice Day

Hi Edparityanimal wrote: »Well after the questioning of potential jurors for a case, they picked six out of the twenty potential to actually hear the case.
I sent a single word text to J and he knew I was picked. Let's just say that it was not a nice word and the kid on A Christmas Story said it while changing the tires...
That's right. *KITTEN*
We didn't finish all the testimony today so I get to go back tomorrow. Whee! At least I don't have to get there at 8:00 tomorrow, but can get there about 10:20 so we'll all be ready for the judge at 10:30. Hopefully we can finish listening, deliberate, and come to a verdict and get home reasonably early.
Of course I can't talk about the case itself, not even to J, but neither of us has a problem with that.
I'm sorry to hear that You were selected, You must have managed to look trustworthy and impartial to the people selecting from the jury pool.
I hope You are right that it all wraps up today.
Good Luck

Howdy y'all. It's thrilling Thursday! 41 out there now with an expected high of 53 and 20% chance of precipitation.
Heading out after a while for Jury Duty. I think we are earning our $30 day. You would think they would pay more if you actually get selected and have to sit in a jury, since that's more work than sitting around in the jury room but it's $30 per day regardless.
Oh well, it's $30 extra for each day for me since my "employer" won't be deducting it from my pay.

Hi
I'm back from walking again and no cents. The temperature this morning was 38 on the porch. The second day of the four forecast days rain has not started yet. I was dressed warmer due to the lowered temperature and the wind had a bit of a chill to it. Yesterdays Temperature was 30 to 40 degrees lower at 4PM than Wednesdays and was lowering throughout the day.

Hi ValerieGardenKatGardens wrote: »Good Morning!
Watching Ed's failed restaurant vid. I used to really like Howard Johnsons Fried Clams! I'd never heard of Chi-Chi's? Must have lived in the wrong part of the country!
Morning, though short has gone well..Cat and I had a short rock, as he 'gently' bit me, and I fussed at him, and 'kitten' if he didn't do it again as I was fussing at him. So he got his breakfast and then took himself out the door to the porch.! Suited me fine too!
Need to get my gym clothes on, and get that over with for today. I'm actually seeing bits of sunshine! Hope to be home early and have a good afternoon in the back yard killing brambles!
No grocery shopping needed today, so the pancake and syrup Peeps are safe at least for another day or two!
Later...I have a couple of Rogers news clips to look at later while I eat my lunch.
Chi-Chi's is a Mexican Eatery that used to be in parts of the country. Since I do not care for Mexican food I never ate there. I sort of wonder if Chipotle will make it after all the problems their food has had.
If I said I do not think I will try or be tempted by the other flavors of Peeps.
Have a Good Day

Howdy y'all. It's fabulous Friday! 56 out there now with an anticipated high of 75 and 10% chance of precipitation.
I don't have to work today, since the trial is over. It wasn't fun, but it was interesting, though some of the testimony got a bit tedious. They gave us notepads and pens to take notes with, and we all used them. No one else wanted to be the foreperson for the jury so I volunteered and it didn't take us too long, once all the testimony was over.
In two or three weeks I should receive a gift card with a value of $60 to compensate me for my two days of jury duty. I think all six of us earned our $60.
Glad it's over anyway.
And since it's over, we can talk about it but honestly it's not very exciting. I did give J a little information about it, as I thought he might find it slightly interesting.
Need to clean up yesterday's cat bowls and feed the cats in a bit. I've had my breakfast.

Hi
I'm back from walking again and no cents. The temperature this morning was 43 on the porch. The third day of the four forecast days rain has not started yet. I was dressed lighter due to the 5 degree warmer temperature. Yesterdays Temperatures never really changed by much, they were a whole 2 degrees warmer by 4PM vs 4:30AM .

I suspect that if it was a bit tedious and I were on that jury I would have trouble keeping my mind from wandering.
The other problem I might have being on a jury is my tendency to see both sides in many cases where there is no clear decision, not to mention my becoming stubborn if I am pushed.
I would prefer a Check that can be deposited TBH vs a gift card.

Hi Valerie0 -
Howdy y'all. It's satisfying Saturday! 61 out there with an expected high of 77 and no chance of precipitation.
I've eaten and the cats will be fed in a while. Need to clean out yesterday's cat bowls. Might need to get to the store today for a couple of things but nothing critical so maybe not.
Definitely hope for a nap. This is one of the rare Saturdays that we don't seem to have anything scheduled and no one is planning to come over to browse thrift shops or anything!

Hi
I'm back from walking again and no cents. The temperature this morning was 41 on the porch. The fourth day of the four forecast days of rain is the heaviest so far. I was dressed in full rain gear except for the insulated boots as I figured they would be a bit too warm. The Waking shoes I wore are somewhat wet, However I do have a second pair I can use tomorrow while these dry out.
The scale was probably lower than yesterday morning, I can not be sure as it has been a few days since I weighed myself. The "Time-restricted eating" combined with a 100% NS plan is working really well so far.

This is GOOD stuff! That and a Cara-Cara orange, and a Kanzi apple may well be my dinner!
80 degrees outside today. I'm sure my face is red. And when I went to get the mail, I saw 4 or 5 little yellow blossoms on my forsythia....Mine is a late bloomer, and usually blooms very late in the blossom progression in my yard. So it was a total surprise
OK...see you tomorrow!
We do have blooms on the first to bloom bulbs.
I saw some blooms on a forsythia a few weeks back when we had a stretch of warm weather that triggered it into a premature bloom.

Howdy y'all. It's scintillating Sunday! 66 out there now with an expected high of 66. I guess we're already there! 100% chance of precipitation and I can verify that as it was raining as I was preparing my breakfast.
This morning I scrambled a couple of eggs and cooked a small, sliced potato in my StoneWave and added some cheese to it. You may have seen the StoneWave in Mr. White's video showing As Seen On TV items 4 years later. I've had my StoneWave probably for about as long as he's had his. I tend to use it in bursts as I use it for a while and then forget it's in the cabinet and don't use it for a longer while. It made a nice potato side dish for my eggs. I'd swear I have (had?) two of them but only saw the one in the cabinet. Maybe for some reason I stored the other one somewhere else but that doesn't sound like something I'd normally do. I may do a more comprehensive search later to see.
So obviously, I've eaten. I've also cleared the sink but the cats have not yet been fed. They can't be TOO hungry as there was still some of yesterday's kibble in each bowl when I gathered them up at about 7:30 this morning. I'll get to them in a little while.
