    Hi
    I did not do some walking this Morning and thus found + 0 Cents. The temperature this morning was on the news channel and 68 degrees on the front porch and back yard thermometer, Daytime high temperatures are forecast to be well over the norm for the next day or two, The Forecast high for today is 88 to 89 and 90 or higher for Sunday :(

    Interesting Link, I found it interesting :)

    Howdy y'all. It's fabulous Friday! 69 out there now with an expected high of 87 and 20% chance of rain.

    Need to get the NEW load of laundry folded. It's just from yesterday so it's not as old as the last one was!

    Today's "first full day of fall' Google doodle is cute. WWW.GOOGLE.COM and press the play button to see its action.

    I've been up for hours but distracted by the usual, and with finishing up the desktop configuration of my Microsoft Surface 3 pad. I found a dock for it on Amazon for just $18, added a powered USB 3 hub, and then an extra USB full sized keyboard (with numeric pad) and an extra USB/Bluetooth wireless travel mouse and it can act as a full desktop machine. Connecting it to the extra monitor I had that I was using as an extended monitor for my iMAC (and can still use, just have to swap the cable from the Surface 3 dock back to the iMAC) and I can then use it to duplicate/enlarge the screen of the pad or extend it. Seems to work nicely either way.

    It's about time to find Lilo and give her the morning dose of Clavamox, which will no doubt thrill her...but she'll enjoy the treats afterward. :)

    Then brew another mug of tea and see about that laundry.
    Hi Ed
    That sounds like a good price for a useful item.

    Good Luck with the Clavamox

    One wonders why anyone would do such a thing. Hopefully most travelers know to take their essential stuff in carryon, such as medicines. But there could still be important stuff for business or personal use, and that's just mean.
    We will likely never know why, I wish the news gave better details on things they cover :(
    It does go to show what damage a disgruntled employee can cause. I wonder how much it cost the airline in tracing and returning the items not to mention the damage to their reputation.

    Howdy y'all. It's satis-factual Saturday! 67 out there now with an expected high of 86 and 0% chance of rain.

    J is in Birmingham at an orchid show. Lilo has had her morning Clavamox and still needs a shot of Adequan today and then her evening Clavamox. Everyone in the house has been fed. I do need to water the indoor plants today.

    Might get out to a Farmers Market or perhaps a Korean grocery. We'll see about that.

    Sneezing a bit this morning. I wonder what the pollen count is?

    Hi Ed
    That is a strange walk on the Kitten, although it appears to go to a normal walk just before the playback ceases.

    I was so far under the weather yesterday I spent most of it in bed trying to sleep :(
    For dinner I gave in and ordered Chinese Take Out with enough for today too. I saw a new to me item on the menu from the last time and ordered it, It was tasty too, I had a Cheese Steak Egg Roll. For Dinner I had some of the pint size Chicken Broccoli and no rice and today I'll finish that for lunch and for dinner I'll have the Pint size Chicken with String Beans and skip the rice. I'll let my brother pack the rice and vacuum seal it and he can use it down the road in Spanish Rice, Rice Pudding or Stuffed Peppers.

    It is approaching the time of year that the weather forecasts will feature pollen counts, I hope it isn't anything worse.

    Howdy y'all. It's sensational Sunday! 70 out there now with an expected high of 85 and 0% chance of rain

    I've been up for hours but distracted by various things, including setting out ant "food" for the sudden influx of ants both large and small ants) in several places in the kitchen. Maybe they know that we've passed the solstice and that winter is coming?

    They seem to be going right for the "food" that I set out for them and, hopefully, bringing it back to "feed" the whole colony with. It's supposed to be very tasty to ants and, while looking like an innocuous clear syrup to me, certainly seems to be popular with them! I've used Terro before and it's what I'm using now, as it still seems to be the most effective thing I can find for ants. It is revolting the first couple of days though as the ant influx INCREASES because they go home and tell all their friends about this delicious buffet that I've set out for them. But then after they've sated themselves for a few days, they disappear, not to be seen again for quite a long time.

    I know ants have a place in this world too, but not in my kitchen!

    Hope they never become resistant to Terro...

    I have, of course, been fed, as have the felines. Lilo has had her morning Clavamox, so is pouting or grumping under the bed or in the closet, though that didn't stop her from enjoying her breakfast shortly after having it. LOL.

    That wobbly kitten probably has Feline Cerebellar Hypoplasia. At least we can hope it's nothing more serious than that. I have a friend who has a cat with "the wobbles" as an old, experience horse veterinarian calls it. He is a very loving cat but can't really coordinate to jump or, sometimes, to walk/run without careering around.

    She was really concerned about it when she took him, as a kitten, to the doctor. They ran a number of tests and couldn't find anything wrong, but the the old horse vet took one look at him and immediately diagnosed the apparent problem, and said it wouldn't affect his life expectancy as a house cat, but might make him more likely to be eaten by a hawk as an outdoor cat, since he would not necessarily be as good at running away or jumping to safety.

    Apparently something like it is not terribly uncommon in horses. Of course the affected horses are no good for riding or breeding but can certainly be raised and kept as a pet, though a horse as a pet is a rather expensive proposition compared to a cat.

    At first I thought...well, either the ticket resale value has become really cheap or the stadium pretzels are really overpriced! Both are probably true. I think people have become disillusioned with professional sports. At the retail prices for seats, and with all the political controversy, who can blame them?

    Good Sunday Morning!
    Roger I hope you're feeling better very soon. I think this is the first time I've seen you note that you spent the day in bed?? Hope you're ok! And for giggles...check under the chair/couch pillows...you might find a cent or two! :)

    Today, as in this morning already, I spent nearly 90 minutes reading and 'linking' y'alls posts!! It would have been worse had I looked at all the "Prison Food' links...do tell me Ed, whats with the Prison Food??? LOL!! IF thats what they feed prisoners I'm not going!!

    Looks to be nice out...I no doubt should have been out there doing yard work. No hockey this weekend. Unusual.

    I got tickled at Rogers posts of stuff happening in the ATL! I think they save these stories for 'slow news days'! On days when there is 'real' news you never see these stories. Like the day when all news all day long was 'Irma'

    I ate my breakfast while typing, and surprisingly it was real 'breakfast' food...like granola with almond milk, blueberries, ground flax seed and hemp hearts. I think I'll make an attempt to eat a 'normal-ish' lunch too just for fun. For the last 2 days I've been craving cheese big time. I put a slice of the Follow your Heart' cheeze on a grilled vegetable sandwich...and that is I think what started the cheese thing. Oh, well...not gonna happen!

    I have a dishwasher to unload, a load of clothes to fluff and fold from yesterday, and a few other little odds and ends. Trip to the gym, and that should keep me busy for the rest of the day.

    Later...

    J is on his way home from the Birmingham orchid show.

    I imagine he has stopped for some Taco Bell (or will stop for something) along the way, but all the same I decided to order thin crust Marco's pizza tonight.

    I took advantage, finally, on the last day of Marco's buy one at regular price get another of lesser or equal value for 7 cents.

    But I got TWO more for 7 cents. I had requested triangle cut, and they cut the double cheese square. Instead of just sending it anyway, they made another one and cut it triangle and sent BOTH cheese pizzas.

    In the past they have sometimes cut them square and just sent them, possibly not noticing I had requested triangle cut, and once they started cutting it square and, after getting just a couple of cuts across, stopped and then cut triangle so I had some very strange slices. But this time they apparently had already completely cut it square and then noticed I had requested triangle, so they decided to cook us another whole pizza and send both. OK. I can definitely live with that!

    So I got my Pepperoni Magnifico at regular price and TWO double cheese pizzas for 7 cents.
    I would NOT have complained about the square cut. J wouldn't have cared anyway. LOL.

    But since they sent the extra pizza, well, we got lots of pizza! I think we'll be eating pizza through Wednesday or so!

    If they were going to replace one, they really should have replaced the Pepperoni Magnifico. I requested "well done" but not "extra well done" and they got it well done all right...DOUBLE-PLUS DOUBLE-EXTRA WELL DONE. Any more well done and I'd be eating charcoal. But I'm not, so it's all good. Just really, really brown and crispy!

    And who can complain when they got a whole free double cheese pizza? I'm sure not going to.

    Hi Ed
    I agree, No to ants in the house. I remember my Grandmother out west dealing with what she called grease ants, they were tiny little critters.

    I suspect not much would stop Lilo from eating after reading many of Your posts.
    That wobbly kitten probably has Feline Cerebellar Hypoplasia. At least we can hope it's nothing more serious than that. I have a friend who has a cat with "the wobbles" as an old, experience horse veterinarian calls it. He is a very loving cat but can't really coordinate to jump or, sometimes, to walk/run without careering around.

    Apparently something like it is not terribly uncommon in horses. Of course the affected horses are no good for riding or breeding but can certainly be raised and kept as a pet, though a horse as a pet is a rather expensive proposition compared to a cat.
    I was undecided as the kitten did appear to walk OK right at the end of the Gif.

    You need money and land to keep a horse as a pet, maybe less if it is one of the miniature horses naturally.
    Now this one actually sounds pretty tasty to me!
    I like the Sweet Potato Pie we make here. The ones we made last year were made using sweet potatoes we grew. Ws skipped growing them this year. My brother made Sweet Potato bread recently using some store bought Sweet potatoes, He had a tough time finding good looking ones as most of them appeared to be stored from last years crop.

    Cops: Georgia contractor stole thousands, failed to complete house work
    Raisa Habersham The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, 3:44 p.m Friday, Sept. 22, 2017

    I think it's happening everywhere. It amazes me how long people get away with this but more how they think they can get away with it forever.
    I know it has happened in the tri-state New York Metro area and Parts pf Pa.
    J is on his way home from the Birmingham orchid show.

    I imagine he has stopped for some Taco Bell (or will stop for something) along the way, but all the same I decided to order thin crust Marco's pizza tonight.

    I took advantage, finally, on the last day of Marco's buy one at regular price get another of lesser or equal value for 7 cents.

    But I got TWO more for 7 cents. I had requested triangle cut, and they cut the double cheese square. Instead of just sending it anyway, they made another one and cut it triangle and sent BOTH cheese pizzas.

    In the past they have sometimes cut them square and just sent them, possibly not noticing I had requested triangle cut, and once they started cutting it square and, after getting just a couple of cuts across, stopped and then cut triangle so I had some very strange slices. But this time they apparently had already completely cut it square and then noticed I had requested triangle, so they decided to cook us another whole pizza and send both. OK. I can definitely live with that!

    So I got my Pepperoni Magnifico at regular price and TWO double cheese pizzas for 7 cents.
    I would NOT have complained about the square cut. J wouldn't have cared anyway. LOL.

    But since they sent the extra pizza, well, we got lots of pizza! I think we'll be eating pizza through Wednesday or so!

    If they were going to replace one, they really should have replaced the Pepperoni Magnifico. I requested "well done" but not "extra well done" and they got it well done all right...DOUBLE-PLUS DOUBLE-EXTRA WELL DONE. Any more well done and I'd be eating charcoal. But I'm not, so it's all good. Just really, really brown and crispy!

    And who can complain when they got a whole free double cheese pizza? I'm sure not going to.
    it seems that You scored, If that were me I would be freezing slices with Waxed paper between the slices :)

    If I said my brother will not eat anything but thin crust and if it is near thin crust he while at it while complaining about it.
    Sicilian Pizza he considers bread with toppings. 0dAnl5.jpg
    That is the only one I recall seeing sliced into squares or rectangles. I have never seen a Round Pit AKA Thin Crust sliced in anything but Pie shape wedges.
    Howdy y'all. It's marvelous Monday! 65 out there now with an expected high of 87 and 0% chance of rain.

    I probably need to get to the grocery today or tomorrow.
    I'm OK since my Brother shopped for me yesterday when he went to the ShopRite.
    I have a serving of cooked Pot Roast and a serving of Chicken Parm for later today with Lunch and Dinner as the Protein. A small Chicken & String beans from Saturdays Chinese take out delivery. A really fast delivery too, around 10 minutes from call to my seeing him heading up the sidewalk :)
    And a Cobb Salad from the Shoprite too. Yesterday I had their Chef Salad 1.6 servings per container at 160 calories per serving as my dinner :)
    First appearance of Tim Conway's "oldest man" character on Carol Burnett. Some days I feel like this little old man and move about as fast...
    Some days I feel like that, OK to be honest many, many days as the day comes to a end :)

    Cheers

    Good Sunday Morning!
    Roger I hope you're feeling better very soon. I think this is the first time I've seen you note that you spent the day in bed?? Hope you're ok! And for giggles...check under the chair/couch pillows...you might find a cent or two! :)

    Today, as in this morning already, I spent nearly 90 minutes reading and 'linking' y'alls posts!! It would have been worse had I looked at all the "Prison Food' links...do tell me Ed, whats with the Prison Food??? LOL!! IF thats what they feed prisoners I'm not going!!

    Looks to be nice out...I no doubt should have been out there doing yard work. No hockey this weekend. Unusual.

    I got tickled at Rogers posts of stuff happening in the ATL! I think they save these stories for 'slow news days'! On days when there is 'real' news you never see these stories. Like the day when all news all day long was 'Irma'

    I ate my breakfast while typing, and surprisingly it was real 'breakfast' food...like granola with almond milk, blueberries, ground flax seed and hemp hearts. I think I'll make an attempt to eat a 'normal-ish' lunch too just for fun. For the last 2 days I've been craving cheese big time. I put a slice of the Follow your Heart' cheeze on a grilled vegetable sandwich...and that is I think what started the cheese thing. Oh, well...not gonna happen!

    I have a dishwasher to unload, a load of clothes to fluff and fold from yesterday, and a few other little odds and ends. Trip to the gym, and that should keep me busy for the rest of the day.

    Later...
    Hi Valerie
    Saturday was the worst as in the morning I started burning a data disk for backup and felt so weak suddenly I spent most of the day in bed. I need to remember to thank my Brother for it :) as he had it first this time and as he was getting better is when it hit me :(

    This was on yesterdays news.

    I wondered if it could also make home made Ice Cream or Ice Milk if You reused the Bowls as the Bowls have the paddle as a integral part of them.

    And here I was wondering to myself If I was doing a overkill on the Atlanta news :)

    Around here they run a feature on the News12 Cable channel in the mornings that feature three things to know :)
    One of today's was a Business whose owner wants to paint her building pink and is fighting the town to do so. She loves pink and her car was also pink and had eyelashes over the headlight :)
    This was another one

    I started the laundry on my return from walking and it is currently in the drier. I was into my last chance reserves as I came down ill before I got to do it last week.

    Have a Nice Day
