    Hi
    I was out walking today and hit 8K steps. The temperature is 54 degrees vs 43 degrees yesterday and was not to bad while walking until...
    I started to feel a little warm due to overdressing. I was wearing to much despite dropping a layer :(

    Have a Great Friday
    Roger

    Comments made in the year 1955!

    'I'll tell you one thing, if things keep going the way
    they are, it's going to be impossible
    To buy a week's groceries for $20.00.

    'Have you seen the new cars coming out next year?
    It won't be long before $2,000.00 will only buy a
    used one.

    'If cigarettes keep going up in price,
    I'm going to quit.
    A quarter a pack is ridiculous.

    'Did you hear the post office is thinking about
    charging a dime just to mail a letter?

    'If they raise the minimum wage to $1.00,
    Nobody will be able to hire outside help at the store. '

    'When I first started driving,
    Who would have thought gas would someday cost 29cents a gallon..
    Guess we'd be better off leaving the car in the garage.

    'I'm afraid to send my kids to the movies any more..
    Ever since they let Clark Gable get by with saying
    DAMN in GONE WITH THE WIND,
    It seems every new movie has either HELL or DAMN in it.

    'I read the other day where some scientist thinks
    it's possible to put a man on the moon by the
    end of the century.
    They even have some fellows they call astronauts
    preparing for it down in Texas .

    'Did you see where some baseball player just signed a
    contract for $75,000 a year just to play ball?
    It wouldn't surprise me if someday they'll be
    making more than the President.

    'I never thought I'd see the day all our kitchen
    appliances would be electric.
    They are even making electric typewriters now.

    'It's too bad things are so tough nowadays..
    I see where a few married women are having to work
    to make ends meet.

    'It won't be long before young couples are going to
    have to hire someone
    To watch their kids so they can both work.

    'I'm afraid the Volkswagen car is going to open the
    door to a whole lot of foreign business.

    'Thank goodness I won't live to see the day when the
    Government takes half our income in taxes.
    I sometimes wonder if we are electing the best
    people to congress.

    'The drive-in restaurant is convenient in nice weather,
    But I seriously doubt they will ever catch on.

    'There is no sense going to Lincoln
    Or Omaha anymore for a weekend,
    It costs nearly $15.00 a night to stay in a hotel.

    'No one can afford to be sick anymore,
    At $35.00 a day in the hospital it's too rich for
    my blood.'

    'If they think I'll pay 50 cents for a hair cut, forget it.'

    The Cubs will definitely win a World Series before the end of this century.

    Is it just me or does the Earth seem to be getting warmer?

    Remind me to buy some more asbestos insulation for the attic.

    Damn!... that rascal Rock Hudson gets all the girls!

    Vietnam? Where’s that?

    The Cubs will definitely win a World Series before the end of this century.

    I would try Scrapple, and I would even try the blood pudding. But then I've sometimes been told I'm very trying...

    One of my favorite sandwiches is peanut butter, mayo (actually I prefer Miracle Whip), bacon and sliced onion, on whole wheat toast.

    I know it sounds weird, but it's actually quite good. Maybe your brother would like that one, Roger!
    Hi Ed
    Now all I need to do is ask him :)
    They are all ingredients he eats.
    Me I like my Onions sauteed or crisped or in a Onion Ring :)
    Speaking of wine and dinner...here it is!

    Appetizer - Baked Garlic Parmesan/Romano Buffalo Cauliflower Bites

    Entrée - Onion, bell pepper, and pepper Jack omelet with garlic herb roasted potatoes, slightly over roasted…but still tasty and very crispy

    Wine of choice:
    Sertório, Vinho Tinto, Portugal
    Snipped
    I think I would really like the potatoes over roasted as You put it but for me they could even go a little longer, I like Crisped.

    Thank You for the Great Humor
    Have a Nice Day
    Roger

    Mercy!! Besides watching crazy Grandma gifts, and people eating various foods, I've managed to do 2 loads of laundry..2nd in dryer for a few more minutes, first folded and put away...reheated my one cup of coffee 3 times ??? I threw that last bit out..yuck! Gathered and taken trash and recycles to their receptacles in the garage, to push to the street later this afternoon..Tom E.s been fed, and is outdoors, his boxes cleaned, etc...I'm just finishing up eating a meal...hard pressed to give it a 'name'! LOL!!
    Soon to head out to the gym, and to gas the car...then I'll eat a bite of ? and head out to O's gymnastics.
    Tomorrow will be better!

    Later...
    Hi Valerie
    I need to do Laundry too, However I want to have my Shower first for two reasons, That way I'm sure of plenty of hot water and what I am wearing can go in too that way :)

    My Brother does not even reheat it, he just chugs it down cold. Me it has to be hot.

    I hope You had a enjoyable time at the Gymnastics

    Cheers
    Roger

    Howdy y'all. It's fabulous Friday! 55 out there now, with predicted high of 77 sunny degrees.

    Need to clear the sink, maybe go to Kroger (though may do that tomorrow) and ponder other things. Lilo let me sleep in until 7:45 this morning. I was impressed.

    Don't think I'll be in a hurry to go to Ikea for any meals though.

    I think in the late 60s a Batbat could probably have been sold for twice the price of a plain old bat!

    I think Roger, if my groceries ever total $440, I'll need to be resuscitated.!!!
    Great cartoons again today!

    Good Morning! TGIF!
    Tomorrow is last Hockey game of the season...kinda happy, kinda sad! LOL!!
    Its already late morning...and I've already reheated the coffee once. One more time....
    I think I'll leave the Scrapple and Blood Pudding for you guys...Advantage...Veganism!!! :)

    70's again today. You'll find me outdoors! and at the gym.
    Tom E's already outside and happy about it. Last night as I was getting ready for bed, he decided he wanted to go outside. Nope! Option would have been to leave him out overnight, but.....well, Nope.

    I think I'm going to have to cook today...Like whole meals. I'm out of Whole Foods Hot Bar! Oh well, have to keep up my skills... :) Breakfast is on my mind right now.

    Roger, I already am very good at showering before laundry, so I can launder 'everything'! It works!
    I can't do cold coffee...my DS2 drinks his cold, yuck!

    Dinner look mighty good last night Ed. Glad J liked it too! Always makes the cook feel better when dinner is a 'hit'!

    Ok, one at a time...
    I maybe might have been conned into trying meat...til they got to veal. No way in H3LL would I eat baby cow. Just no, nope, never. (not even when i ate meat).

    Ok,,,moving right along...heading for tasting Southern Food. This should be good!

    Ok, the Southern food was fun! I loved the end..tastes good, makes you sleepy, nap time. Sounds about right! BUT...how could they have Moon Pie without having an R C COLA?????
    That is just NOT southern! :)
    I watched the food peeps are supposedly eating 'wrong' yesterday...eh, maybe.

    Now on to Russian Food....

    Welllll, I know food is not plentiful like here, and many are poor, but so were they Irish, and other countries at one time or another....and they lived on things like corn or potatoes, or beans....but RAW PORK FAT..... That would induce a very long food fast for me. No, no, nope! Not happenin"! :)
    I don't do tripe, scrapple, snake or roaches. I have eaten alligator, octopus, and a few other weird things...but....not raw pork fat YUCK!! LOL!

    These have been fun. Now I don't think I need to heat up my dinner. Suddenly not so very hungry. (dinner eventually will be, baked potato with gravy, my last ear of corn, and leftover asparagus spears that I steamed yesterday.)

    Later. much later.

    Loved the cream colored daffodil! That's sweet! Does it smell? I have some that will bloom in a bit, and they are scented, single blooms, but multi blooms on each stem. AND...wow the Lenten Rose! Mine are either white or a mauveish color. Don't have any that are yellow. I may have to go shopping! :)
    Thanks for sharing. Love seeing our yards!

    Later...
