    Hi
    I'm back home from walking no cents. The Temperature out the door was 68 degrees. The Humidity is still high and the same as yesterday there was a light drizzle out the door while walking, It was no fun walking.
    I did see three deer on the outbound leg eating some of the landscaping in some homeowners front yard, then on the return leg in a different area I saw one more, The Deer are out and about this week.

    Howdy all y'all. It's thrilling Thursday! 73 with an expected high of 90 and 40% chance of precipitation.

    Heading to the doctor in a bit to discuss the lab results and do the obligatory poking and prodding and peering so he can bill the insurance an obscene amount for an office visit.

    More on that after returning. I'll probably stop at a grocery on the way back home to pick up a couple of things. The only thing I miss about working at Kroger is that I'm not already at at grocery 5 days a week, making it incredibly convenient to pick up whatever few items I needed. Now I sometimes get out for a few but tend to have bigger shopping trips, which I really dislike, but at the same time can't justify the wasted gas to get non-critical items.

    Ingles is a small, southeastern grocery chain. They have a number of locations but not enough to make Publix or Kroger consider them to be any real competition.

    Aldi spotlights different countries/regions at different times of the year. Usually the products stay available for a couple of weeks and then what's left gets moved to the "lets get rid of this" aisle to make room for whatever comes next. Some of the better items return each year around the same time span.
    Hi Ed
    Our weather forecast for today through Sunday showed a 10% chance of rain, since there was a light mist falling as I left the house and it had been falling long enough that the ground was wet with some puddles I am calling today as 100% rain chance in reality. The Clouds were low enough that I could hear the planes flying overhead and could not see a trace of them.

    Not being able to pick up items daily is not what I would have thought as the drawback of not working at Krogers, I would have suspected that the money would be ahead of that :smile:

    Since I hate shopping a occasional large shopping trip beats more frequent small ones :wink:

    The not staying around for long with frequent changes sounds like a strategy to encourage more frequent visits by shoppers.
    Kids try pies from around the world. I could help with that...
    Pies :wink: OTOH they do come in all types including types like a Chicken Pot Pie...
    Can a McDonald's Happy Meal be turned into a gourmet dish? Sure. Just rename it in French to Bon Repas.
    From the image it was a bit more than a rename, As usual I have not watched then videos yet, Later for that.

    Thanks for the Video Links

    Hi
    This is going to be quick...I've got more irons in the fire than this old brain is used to dealing with! I was up and still running around the house at 3 A.M.. I don't know why....but, needless to say I slept in a bit this morning. Meanwhile since I woke, I've started stripping the wallpaper in the kitchen, (the dishes were returned to the re-hung cabinet day before), a load of laundry was washed, and is now busy flopping around in the dryer...I came in here to eat my breakfast banana, and knowing I'd missed yesterday to say hello...I really haven't read the posts from the past 2 days, but I glanced at most of them....long enough to see that our very own "Humpty Dumpty" was put back together from his spill with the rock on the sidewalk. YOU DIDN"T TELL US ABOUT THE HEAD NEEDING 2 STAPLES, ETC.....Good grief man! Glad the MRI cleared any questionable brain swelling, or cracked skull, etc. That was quite a stumble you took.
    Hi Valerie
    Oops, Not a MRI, a Catscan...

    The report is full of things like, the ventricles, suici, and cisterns are age appropriate for age ???

    The Person who reported the results to me said it looked good. Our family is known for having thick Skulls :wink: The Staples were a result of the darn curb that sticks up out of the ground. I think I might have mentioned, Wet Black rock slightly larger than a Brick blending into the ground due to the rain and slightly compromised vision due to the Hood on the rain Poncho. I have to blame something don't I ?
    Yesterday I was back there and I took that offending rock and chucked it into the overgrowth to one side !
    No Black Eye either.
    Moving on....I saw several things to go back and check out...like foodie things. I saw ramen noodles...I have some, just noodles, no spice packets, etc. So will for sure be looking that over, and another with rice and veggies, etc.
    Ed, I'll skip the Hot stuff...if you thought it was hot, it would for sure have me in tears and free flowing nose, etc.!!

    The wall paper, for the bit that I got off this morning is 2 layers thick, both layers are the vinyl coated stuff...looks nice, wipes off well, hell to remove. So I got the bit under the kitchen window above the sink....what maybe 6 inches high, and a double window in length...at this rate, I figure to be done by my April birthday in 2020!!!! LOL! Seriously, I will be getting one of the spray on wetting stuff, and score the paper so the wetting stuff can do its thing...
    I knew this would not be fun...I hate the wallpaper in the hall bath, but removing it has kept it from being replaced.
    OTOH the Seasoning packet with the ramen noodles do have a lot of sodium...

    I do not hate Wallpaper TBH, I have seen them complain on the shows I watch about flipping houses. Where and how they get that huge spatula under the house to flip it :wink: Sorry, just my sense of humor that my brother says is weird :smiley:

    I'll take wallpaper over textured ceiling and walls anytime, When I see a texture on them I wonder what poor workmanship they are concealing. Not to mention some of the textures I've seen make me wonder how they can be cleaned. Good Luck, Hopefully the Wetting Agent works for You.
    Ok, Much to do, You guys take care...when do the staples come out Roger? And Ed, I hope you're feeling better and can breathe again...that spicy dinner from Aldi should have helped!! I will not be buying those, so you can have my share, OK??

    Oh, yesterday, Dr. Pat the Chiro, put my right shoulder and arm back into place...feels much better. No more of the rotator cuff stretching with the little overly exuberant little young trainer and her stretching....at least not for that arm. I'm not a tennis player, so if that shoulder/arm won't do a 360, I frankly don't care. :)

    What else has happened around here...garbage disposal broke, and has been replaced...Antonio hung the kitchen cabinet back on the wall...that young man is a God send!

    Tonite's O's gymnastics...and I haven't been to my gym in TWO days. Got my steps in the first day, but yesterday was a complete bust. Must get there today...no excuses.

    Later...
    They Said 7 days, since it happened on Sunday, I plan to hit the urgent Care Sunday when they open. We have a plethora of those around here, Usually this one if needed and the Doctor isn't open. I have to have them update the Medicare card data since I did get the new one with a different number.
    http://www.medemerge.com/
    No reason not to get the Flu Shot while I am there for the Staples.
    Makes sense to me that if it caused problems not to do that exercise. I was never a tennis player so...

    FWIW I look at it like this, If I miss something oh well, I move on. There are worse things in life than not getting to the Gym.

    Enjoy the Gymnastics

    Howdy all y'all. It's fantastic Friday! 74 with an expected high of 94 (I think Summer is back!) and 0% chance of precipitation.

    Need to clean up yesterday's cat bowls and feed this morning's (and every morning's) cats. Might do a bit of laundry but might not. A nap is in order as I didn't sleep all that well last night. Also hope to go and get the first round of the new and improved Shingles vaccine today, as I got the prescription for it yesterday at my doctor's office. All my blood tests looked pretty good.

    Hi
    I'm back home from walking no cents. The Temperature out the door was 66 degrees. The Humidity is down, When I got up and looked out the living room window I could see stars in a nice clear sky, When I was ready to leave the stars had disappeared behind clouds that had moved in.

    Hi Ed
    Yikes, 94 degrees in the middle of September, Our normal highs are supposed to be in the mid 70s this time of year here.

    Shingles from what I have read and heard is not the good to have :(

    To the Good I did do laundry yesterday, Washed, Dried, Folded and not yet put away and The socks need to be

    sorted as they all look alike but have two different lengths, Oh well.
    This is a pasta bowl I could really get into. Or that could get into me as I'd eat it after eating the pasta.
    To many carbs for me, I love eating Pasta my waist hates it however.
    I'll go for the $29 meat, thanks, unless, of course, someone else is paying for it. As an example of that, I've eaten at a Ruth's Chris Steakhouse once in my life. Someone else paid. I must say the food was quite good, but not worth what my rich friends paid for it.
    I suspect that once You hit a certain price point the improvement in the Steak is incremental, if You can afford it OTOH why not.

    Have a Good Day

    Good Morning!
    Roger glad you gave that rock the heave ho!! Evil ole rock! I've skimmed thru today's posts, and saw one from Roger from yesterday that I completely missed.
    Today my calendar is FREE from outside influences!!! Meaning that all the crud I've been putting off is gonna come along and kick my butt! I've started removing wallpaper (two layers), to be followed by Antonio putting white glossy subway tiles on the kitchen walls. (which he says he can do in one day??) WOW, if thats true! I offered to let my DIL Jenn come join in the fun, but she declined!! LOL!..she did suggest that vinegar in the water I use to loosen the wallpaper will help. I'd wondered about that yesterday...so today's section will give it a try.
    There are advantages to having a hard head...but not for having a thick skull!!!! :)
    Oh, I also remember seeing that you picked raspberries....that's amazing...They must be an ever bearing type???
    Hi Valerie
    You don't have to hit me with something more than once before I look for a cure.

    The ones I picked were from the one of two types that were planted. They Bear later than the early variety, pause and then Produce again.

    Tiling can be a fairly quick process, the delay comes while the Thinset or whatever is used dries enough to apply Grout. I have seen some interesting Backsplashes on some of the House flipping shows. One was using the Old time looking Tin Ceilings and another was a sheet of Granite :)
    Ed I'm guessing your doc's visit was a good visit, and no surprises... My time for annual check up is coming up in about 3 weeks...I 'should' be ok. I can't think of any other thing she may try to frighten me into doing. Although it does seem that 'others' like my Chiro are trying to do...Need to get your knees done, or if that rotator cuff slips out again I think you should see someone about fixing it...(smells like surgery to me...so nope)
    I still haven't watched the video's Ed...so that is on my radar as well.
    Waiting to see if we end up getting rain from Florence...for awhile it looked like it was going to curve south as well as north...If it hits the GA mountains around the TN line those people could be in a world of hurt.

    I want to get into the back yard today with the weed wacker...also want to purchase a roll of red tape. I intend to tag things that need to be cut back for when my son comes over next time...So much to do in my little yard. I sorta let that slip under the radar....!bad gardener! Baadddddd!

    I'm dressed for going t the gym....so I think that's a big hint as to what I'm doing next......

    Later...
    I had a email recently to the effect that is time to a visit to the doctor for a annual checkup.

    I wondered if Florence would bother the Atlanta Metro area, Last nights news it looked like You might get the fringe of it.

    We either need to get an outside outlet for the electric Weed Whacker to avoid dropping an extension cord out the window or get a gas power one. Hard to Keep those blood sucking Mosquitoes out of the house with the screen and windows open to drop out a power cord.

    Tagging the plants to be cut back makes sense to me.
    Fun, fun...went to brush my teeth...and I have no water.....So hopped into my car, and yep, workmen with huge backhoe digging, ripping up concrete driveway....the guys said it will be 4-6 hours til water returns.
    Gwinnett county has a great little info thingy on line...suggesting how to get the air out of my water lines, etc.
    I see a trip to the gym to potty, (and yes to take my walk, eat my lunch which is in the refrigerator waiting to be heated, etc. So, not much going on...'maybe a nap' LOL!!!
    One thing to think about, flushing the water heater after the water comes back to get rid of sediment, That should be done periodically anyway.

    It could be worse, Look at the town of Hoboken here in NJ, It is also well known for being the birthplace and hometown of American singer Frank Sinatra.

    And lately infamous for water main breaks.

    18 Water Main Breaks Flood Hoboken, Pitting Mayor Against Water Company

    “We’ve had a rash of 17 water main breaks within a 64-day period, which I would characterize as an infrastructure crisis,”


    FWIW the usual Toilet has one flush of water in the tank, it just will not refill until the water is restored.

    I am preparing to head out the door for a Flu Shot and staples removal, All two of them. Do they use them as quicker and easier than stitches I wonder ? It was a one use stapler that is not reloadable.

    Have a Nice Day

    J had thought today was going to be cooler than yesterday but I don't know that 91 is all that much cooler. We have his sister and a cousin visiting but J and I have a pool party. They are going to a flea market and doing some other shopping.

    Good Morning Ed & Valerie
    Yesterday was not to bad outdoors. Today on my return home I opened a window in the Dining Room, back of the house. And the Inside door so that I can get fresh air inside from the Screened Front porch.

    When I was really Young I thought that they sold Fleas at a Flea Market and wondered what They were used for :wink:

    I'm sure You will enjoy the pool party.

    Howdy all y'all. It's sumptuous Sunday! 72 with an expected high of only 78 and 70% chance of precipitation. Since the same forecast says we're currently experiencing a rain shower, I can't say why it doesn't say 100% chance.

    On the other hand, it's not actually raining at our house, despite the report saying that it is, so maybe the 70% is accurate for us. :)

    I think M and F are leaving today to go back to Kentucky, and if so there will be laundry to accomplish. The party yesterday was nice. M and F went flea marketing (but didn't buy any fleas) and then sight seeing while J and I were at the party.

    Need to clean up yesterday's cat bowls and feed today's STARVING cats.

    Hi
    I'm back home from walking and one thin dime found. The Temperature out the door was 65 degrees. The Humidity is the same as yesterdays. When I out the door I could see a partly cloudy sky and I could see stars in the clear area of the sky. As I was walking the stars disappeared behind clouds that had moved in. According to the weather forecast the Clouds are remnants of Florence and Rain should be moving in later today through tomorrow with occasional Thunderstorms.

    A Little Humor now:
    A software developer, a hardware engineer and a mid-level manager were on their way to a conference center located near the top of a mountain. After the conference, they were driving down the steep mountain road and suddenly the brakes on their car failed. The car careened almost out of control down the road, bouncing off the crash barriers, until it miraculously ground to a halt scraping along the mountainside. The car's occupants, shaken but unhurt, now had a problem: they were stuck halfway down a mountain in a car with no brakes. What were they to do?
    The manager said, "Let's have a meeting, propose a Vision, formulate a Mission Statement, define some Goals, and by a process of Continuous Improvement find a solution to the Critical Problems, and we can be on our way."
    "No, no," said the hardware engineer. "That will take far too long, and besides, that method has never worked before. I've got my Swiss Army knife with me, and in no time at all I can strip down the car's braking system, isolate the fault, fix it, and we can be on our way."
    "Well," said the software developer, "Before we do anything, I think we should push the car back to the top of the mountain and see if it happens again."

    Howdy all y'all. It's sumptuous Sunday! 72 with an expected high of only 78 and 70% chance of precipitation. Since the same forecast says we're currently experiencing a rain shower, I can't say why it doesn't say 100% chance.

    On the other hand, it's not actually raining at our house, despite the report saying that it is, so maybe the 70% is accurate for us. :)

    I think M and F are leaving today to go back to Kentucky, and if so there will be laundry to accomplish. The party yesterday was nice. M and F went flea marketing (but didn't buy any fleas) and then sight seeing while J and I were at the party.

    Need to clean up yesterday's cat bowls and feed today's STARVING cats.
    Hi Ed
    Yesterday the high temperature was in the mid 80s...
    My best guess and it is a guess is that the Rain Showers are not everywhere and therefore the 70%, I could also be wrong.
    Russian Honey Cake recipe.
    That looks tasty if delicious
    Teens try Filipino food.
    That looks like something I would eat, OTOH I may change my mind once I watch the Video.
    BTW, Is it just me or are there more advertisements before the video play compared to a while ago.

    Not to much more for me to say today.

    Thanks for the video links.

    Its noon...I've gotten not much done. So, its Hello Its Sunday, and see you later today. Even watched Big Red, the Cajun guy. (I don't usually) The french dressing caught my eye. I remember making that. I also watched the video's I've missed up to the 13th. Its a start.
    I've cleaned one bathroom,(I have two) unloaded the bottom half of the dishwasher, top half needed some air drying time, etc..so my day is going in halves.
    Nate's La Crosse game is at 3:30...and at least half hour to get there...so, something to eat before I go, shower, gym, and the other 'halfs' needs to all be done.. Wish me luck.
    Oh, I ate my banana, and Tom E. has been fed. Sorry to hear your sink was clogged up Ed...however it is the cutest clog I think I've ever seen! She's a sweety!
    Roger, thanks for explaining to me how you're still eating raspberries.......and so much more, just not right this minute!

    Later...
    Hi Valerie
    Darn it, Now that You mention it I need to clean the Ground floor bathroom, not my favorite chore :(

    My Apologies for not mentioning the Staples right away, I considered them a minor speed bump in my life.
    They were removed Saturday Morning, The Scab that was there is gone, as a result I washed my hair yesterday, it needed it too :smiley:
    To keep you giggling til I get here late again tomorrow....
    La Crosse. They really do whack each other with their basket sticks...Nate got caught tripping...not sure if he meant to or not, didn't think to ask him. It was 'misty', and then raining, and raining wind, etc. We all wore rain gear, umbrella's, etc. And, Jack said that Yes the game goes on unless there is 'close' lightening....well, that's something, I guess. It was fun...don't think I'd sit thru EVERY rainy game, but just to sit in the rain, watching a game I don't understand,(Past the obvious catch the ball, run, throw, pass, etc)
    Came home and threw my soaked clothes into the dryer! I had thoughts of going to the gym after they dried...changed my mind. Going to stay home finish up a couple of things, and go to bed really early!
    See you in the morning....

    The La Crosse grammie....MeMe and PaPa, were there for a bit, but went home. (Jenn's Mom and her husband) .They were not impressed. Oh well...

    Later...
    That is a game I do not understand either. I do wonder how they can even catch the ball let alone pass it to the proper person. Interesting that they whack each other with the basket sticks.

    Different sports have more or less interest :(

    Have a Good Day

    Howdy all y'all. It's magnificent Monday! 68 with an expected high of 90 and 20% chance of precipitation.

    Need to fold the towels from yesterday's laundry run.

    Also need to clean yesterday's cat bowls and feed the cats and kitten. They aren't quite eyeing me hungrily yet, but in time...
