Hi
I'm back from walking and no cents. The temperature this morning was 39 degrees with a light drizzle falling that quickly cleared up and no breeze. Yesterday I saw two Deer run across the road and later on at the halfway point I saw 4 of them by a brook. Then today on the return leg I saw 4 more heading towards a different brook.
I decided to change things up and go back to a regular pattern of eating starting Tuesday, Change is a good Thing to aid in weight loss.

Really need to get out to the store today, I think.
Need to get my breakfast, and clean yesterday's cat bowls. And eventually feed the cats too...
And here I was happy to see 39 degrees when I went out the door
I only have three things on my shopping list and my brother will pick them up when he goes today or tomorrow. If I can stay out of the grocery store I'll be eating healthier since I can avoid impulse buys that way. He also needs to pick up the free ham we earned by spending $400 over a specified period of time.
I may be wrong however I have a recollection that the traditional Haggis can not be sold here in the U.S.parityanimal wrote: »How it's made. Haggis.

IMPORTS of traditional Scottish haggis have been banned in the United States since 1971.
The US Department of Agriculture (USDA) has long objected to one of the key ingredients in haggis – sheep’s lung.
No food for human consumption, whether made locally in the USA or imported from overseas, can contain sheep’s lung.
Authentic haggis is a savoury pudding containing sheep’s pluck – the heart, liver and lungs – minced with onions, spices and oatmeal. This is often encased in a casing made of the animal’s stomach.
For aficionados and fans of Robert Burns, the haggis is the ‘great chieftain o’ the pudding race’.

Yep. Seems to me that if it's well cooked, it shouldn't be a problem but I don't make the laws. While I have never been to Scotland to try the real thing, I have eaten the United States legal version, made in the U.S. without, of course, the sheep's lung.
There is (or at least used to be) an online British food store I occasionally bought it from, canned, and there is (or was) a British store in nearby Norcross that carried it frozen, looking much like frozen rolls of breakfast sausage, as well as, sometimes, canned. The frozen ones were rather prohibitively expensive. I bought the canned version and found that I like the stuff.
The online store even had a canned VEGETARIAN version that I transformed into veggie burgers and J actually like them well enough.
I'd love to go to Scotland sometime to try the real thing. Two of my brothers have been over there but as far as I know have not taken the dare.
I also like pork pies, pasties, Yorkshire pudding, spotted dick dessert pudding (with custard sauce), plum pudding, and jam roly poly.

Hi!
Having every day this week scheduled is a pain in the butt! Today was the car..Honda Safety Recall for the passenger side air bag...2 hours shot. Oh well, should anybody ever ride with me they will be safe? LOL!
Need a set of new tires, and once again I'm being asked to replace the filters for the HVAC cabin system, as well as the engine. Engine sounds necessary...cabin??? not so sure. I think I now officially really dislike Honda...love my little Fit..but the company...maybe not so much.
Talked to Jack Tuesday...among other items, Olivia made about 6 items of doll clothes for her dolls....(she'd texted me pix of her hard work) and she got in trouble for it. Somedays I have to wonder about those parents. Seems as though she cut up a pair of worn out or too small? jeans, and a couple of t-shirts that no longer fit...the issue? Seems as though Jenn donates the kids out grown clothes. Ok, that's nice. But if O recycled a couple tshirts and a pair of old jeans...what the hey???? So, Grammie being a stubborn old biddy, has gathered up a pair of her jeans and 3 t-shirts for her to cut up and sew for her dolls. Sometimes adults are just ridiculous.
Tom is still being a pain in the *kitten*. I finally figured out that this was the first time that he was ALONE for the week I was gone...Hoot died mid summer, so he was still around in March. today was a warm, sunny day, and Tom stayed out the entire day after breakfast..came in for dinner, and is outside again. I think I'll let him in shortly and go to bed...he can start staying outside next week. Will let him recover a bit more from his 'separation anxiety '
I intend to be outside tomorrow for most of the day. Would like to get the lawn mower up and running, and work on better control of the new weed whacker, and maybe even trim a shrub or three! You can bet I have more on my outside list than I can possibly do in one day. If the weather holds I should have a fair shot at having a nicely trimmed yard for Easter Sunday!
Spent a bit of time Tuesday at the ATL Botanical Garden. It was a chilly day, with awful wind, but the flowers were simply gorgeous! Got the name of a couple more spring blooming shrubs, etc. Just saw 'fields' of narcissus and of white tulips! Stunning.
Ok, cat is about to be invited in, and I'm headed to bed...

Possibly they figure that everybody would not cook it well done despite warnings on the package, sort of like everybody cooks meats and eggs with a range from raw to well done
Many years ago I bought some British foods up in Canada...
It sounds as if You have a anglophiles taste buds.

I think I saw that recall on the news a while back. I think it was some sort of computer update ?
My Brother had to change the cabin filter on his Ford Taurus so it is not that unusual. I do however suspect that the change warning is more based on time to sell a service than a sensor that detects restriction in the filter which would be a hardware item that costs more than software warning You to change it.
Even Air filters for the engines intervals are extremely variable depending on the amount of dust in the air.
I can understand donating OTOH using outgrown Vs buying new cloth makes sense to me and saves a trip to the store for the cloth.Talked to Jack Tuesday...among other items, Olivia made about 6 items of doll clothes for her dolls....(she'd texted me pix of her hard work) and she got in trouble for it.

You could be right regarding the reason for the cats behavior.
Am I remembering incorrectly that You have a Battery operated lawn mower ? FWIW my neighbor uses one, I will admit that it is easier to use than having to start a Gas engine mower.
I did a little maintenance in the back yard and trimmed the Raspberries and Blackberry bushes.
Another Day to Good Friday and the start of Passover on the same day.
We do have Miniature Daffodils in bloom that have replaced the First blooming Snow Drops.
Good Luck with the yard work

Howdy y'all. It's thrilling Thursday! 56 now with an expected high of 73 and 40% chance of precipitation.
I did get out to Aldi yesterday and bought the essential items. I still have a few things on the list, and might get out to Ingles today to buy the rest. The weather may help me on deciding whether to go or not, and when. It's looking like they're not really expecting any rain until nearly dinner time this evening so getting out to Ingles is looking pretty likely. I'll probably run some laundry today too as I need to do the towels, if nothing else, and I usually combine those with the whites, and usually just go ahead and do all the available laundry when doing laundry so that means at least two loads, and sometimes three.
I need to get yesterday's cat bowls cleaned and feed the cats too.

Oh Good Morning, good morning!
I've just spent over an hour reading posts, watching vid's, following links, etc. A small part of which was I watched the iron skillets, and followed up with how they mfg pressure cookers and professional pots and pans, and why if I eat outdated food, and walk slowly I'll become demented and die younger that I should!!!!! LOL!
Ok, Roger...the Honda folk recommend a blanket replacement of those filters every 15,000 miles. No science there...just 100% pure sales! Now if I drove as much as a 'normal' person I'd be on at least my 5th set of filters at about $100 a set! Nice for the Honda company.....
Fabric is not cheap. Some day when you're bored go to a fabric store......back in the day you could save a bundle by making your own clothes...not any more. The pattern alone is $15, the fabric has a wide range of price per yard...Even the remnants of fabric (end of bolt, etc. usually about a yard, or less) are about $5 bucks...so Livy's cutting up old clothes, well, people have been doing it for centuries.... AND...my lawn mower has a gasoline engine. The tools I just bought are all electric. Ted did look at battery run lawn mowers, but they still need some 'time' before they would make sense for me to own.
What an odd collection of Easter 'stuff'...do they not still make chocolate bunnies, candy eggs, (remember 'duck eggs' in vibrant colors, jelly beans, and chocolate covered marshmallow eggs etc??? Sugar overload!!! Wheeeee! So, what part of the chocolate bunny do you eat first? I was easy...just bite off an ear!!!

Today I walked on a 3rd route in the last three days, Wednesday I saw two Deer on my way to get coffee then at the 1/2 way mark I saw four more heading down towards the water. Thursday on a second route I saw 4 Deer running along a stream and then today I saw two Deer, likely the same two as Wednesdays on my way for coffee then on a third route I saw 4 different Deer in a yard, likely eating the landscaping.
Yesterday I went to the new Whole Foods that is now open to look around. I did sample some of the hot & cold foods, I was not impressed by the Cardboard boxes available to use, They did not keep the food warm. WF seems to have an aversion to plastic including the bags used to pack the purchases. The Fancy fresh baked breads did look tasty if Calorie laden. FWIW the Hot & cold foods were $8.99 a pound.
I do need to do some laundry, I have waited too long and am running out of underclothes
Fortunately We do have a High capacity Washer/dryer set I can use.
Have a Nice Day

If I said I do not agree entirely or partially with some of the conclusions in the articles I link, I present them to allow You and Ed to draw Your own conclusions. Some foods may be expired and completely safe to eat such as Dried Beans and others such as expired Dairy and Meats not.
That is my feeling that the filter recommendations are designed to bring in revenue for the dealers and Honda as the parts provider.
I have not looked at cloth, My one Aunt did make a lot of clothes for herself from patterns and Another Aunt and Grandmother Quilted
FWIW a Electric is easier to get going to mow with, Just hook up the battery and go
OTOH I would think that a Gas powered Weed Whacker vs one that needs electric cord run, Or use one that runs on a rechargeable battery which would be quieter.What an odd collection of Easter 'stuff'...do they not still make chocolate bunnies, candy eggs, (remember 'duck eggs' in vibrant colors, jelly beans, and chocolate covered marshmallow eggs etc???

Howdy y'all. It's fantastic Friday! 56 out there with an expected high of 64 and 0% chance of rain.
Need to clean up yesterday's cat bowls and fold the laundry from yesterday. I ended up only doing a "whites and towels" load as there was very little in the "regular clothes" bin. Neither of us has been going out much and "sitting around at home" clothes don't take up nearly as much room as it's usually just gym shorts and a tee. The tee goes in with the whites, so they got washed but a few pairs of gym shorts wasn't worth running a load for. When it's a few more pairs, and some other regular clothes, it will get a run.
I got my notice this morning of the data breach at MyFitnessPal. While it does cause some minor concern, I don't have any sensitive data on this site and can't really imagine that anyone other than us would find my postings to be of any interest whatsoever, even if they do crack the password file.

I swear I started this nearly 2 hours ago...and phone calls, text's, and my brunch all happened....totally missed breakfast this morning.
I did change my password this morning after reading my email...I also noticed I had a friend request from a stranger who wants to do a meet and eat type group...I declined! She was in Alpharetta, longish trip, don't like those kinds of things, and who knows who she really is...nope, sorry!
Roger I've had, and this spring replaced, the battery powered weed whacker...it just didn't have the strength, and the batteries (it came with 2) wear out. So, back to the electric weed eater!
Ed running over electric cords seems to be a problem! Jack cut his power cord with his hedge trimmer. Said it just made a little pop noise...and of course ruined the electric cord!
I'm sure that sometime or another I will do that, just hopefully not anytime soon!
I know I mentioned Honda wanting to change my air filters...did I happen to mention that they also strongly said I need new tires. Which they will be happy to replace for me...to the tune of about $700. My Thinking....Tires are 5 years old, like the car...so there's the age issue, but the car is approaching only 23,000 miles. Really...do tires wear out THAT quickly? Have either of you purchased tires from Costco? My Saturn got new shoes from Kauffman tires.
I can see I have some shopping around to do! I think I do not want another set of the Dunlop tires that came on the car. Less than 23 thousand miles...surely the Michelin tires advertised at Pep Boys would wear better, and tires themselves about $200 less. (I will guess that would not include mounting, and warranties, etc. So price wise probably about the same...
Welcome any personal input.
Now, its nearly 2:30, and sad to say I'm still in my bathrobe....I have to get this day moving or I'll be late to bed tonite!! LOL!!

Howdy y'all. It's sensational Saturday! 39 with an expected high of 67 and no chance of precipitation.
Need to get yesterday's cat bowls washed, and get the cats fed. There is also still some folding of laundry to be done, but I DID get a little over half of it done yesterday and all of it is out of the dryer. It's just sitting on top, waiting to be folded.
We may go to Marietta today for a flea market benefiting the Good Mews Foundation, a large cat rescue operation. As far as I know they are not adopting out cats, but just selling stuff to make money. We may go, just to see what kind of stuff people have donated for the sale. Sure don't want to bring back any fleas from the flea market though!

A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort.

I did change my password this morning after reading my email...I also noticed I had a friend request from a stranger who wants to do a meet and eat type group...I declined! She was in Alpharetta, longish trip, don't like those kinds of things, and who knows who she really is...nope, sorry!
Roger I've had, and this spring replaced, the battery powered weed whacker...it just didn't have the strength, and the batteries (it came with 2) wear out. So, back to the electric weed eater!
Ed running over electric cords seems to be a problem! Jack cut his power cord with his hedge trimmer. Said it just made a little pop noise...and of course ruined the electric cord!
I'm sure that sometime or another I will do that, just hopefully not anytime soon!
Using a power cord operated mower does require being careful with the cord not to mention the possibility of getting tangled in the cord as a trip hazard
My problem with anything needing a power cord outdoors is that we have no outdoor outlets and the breaker box is full.
From Here: https://www.michelinman.com/US/en/help/do-I-need-new-tires.htmlI know I mentioned Honda wanting to change my air filters...did I happen to mention that they also strongly said I need new tires. Which they will be happy to replace for me...to the tune of about $700. My Thinking....Tires are 5 years old, like the car...so there's the age issue, but the car is approaching only 23,000 miles. Really...do tires wear out THAT quickly? Have either of you purchased tires from Costco? My Saturn got new shoes from Kauffman tires.
I can see I have some shopping around to do! I think I do not want another set of the Dunlop tires that came on the car. Less than 23 thousand miles...surely the Michelin tires advertised at Pep Boys would wear better, and tires themselves about $200 less. (I will guess that would not include mounting, and warranties, etc. So price wise probably about the same...
Welcome any personal input.
Now, its nearly 2:30, and sad to say I'm still in my bathrobe....I have to get this day moving or I'll be late to bed tonite!! LOL!!
Later...
A few milestones and tips:
1- Keep five years in mind
After five years or more in use, your tires should be thoroughly inspected at least once per year by a professional.
2- Ten years is a maximum
If the tires haven't been replaced 10 years after their date of manufacture, as a precaution, Michelin recommends replacing them with new tires. Even if they appear to be in usable condition and have not worn down to the tread wear indicator.
This applies to spare tires as well.
And a basic google search showed this
http://articles.extension.org/pages/73045/tire-safety:-expiration-dates
Every tire has a birth date—the day it was manufactured—and an expiration date that is six years from that manufacture date. Most automobile manufacturers warn drivers to replace vehicle tires after six years. To wait any longer than that is a gamble with tire integrity and is risky for drivers.
Newer tires will grip the road better when the road is wet and slippery due to the tread material being softer.
The second link shows how to tell how new the new tires actually are. Having said that they are likely to be newer form a high volume seller. CostCo comes to mind for that.
Have a nice day
