Howdy y'all. It's thrilling Thursday! 71 with an expected high of 90 and 50% chance of pm thunderstorms.
Need to get yesterday's cat bowls cleaned up, and feed the cats. I've eaten already.

10 shopping tricks to get the best? Take with a grain of salt. Just be sure to buy the best salt for the money! I love the blanket description of NO SUGAR ADDED, etc, as if ALL such products are full of chemicals, and as they say...we don't want to eat chemicals, do we? Well, I want to eat chemicals. EVERYTHING is made of chemicals. OMYGOD there's sodium bicarbonate, a cleaning chemical, in the biscuits! Sodium chloride in the stew! CHEMICALS! Run for the hills!

I think I posted earlier....too tired to look back and see. Soon as I finish here, I'm going to bed!
Went back to Costco after gym today...I meant to buy rice yesterday...forgot. So, got the rice, came home took the trash can to the curb...not the recycles. I should have a recycle cart coming..signed up for one. (free). I may take the recycles out if I no longer hear thunder and the rain seems to be over. Otherwise I will have to get up early tomorrow to take out the recycles...bin is full!
Back to Costco....You know those tasty bites they tempt you with? Well, one of them was Heart of Palm! They tasted slightly brined, and the texture was a bit harder than lobster...but I can see them subbing for lobster.. Also I'll look to see if I can find some frozen and not brined.
Roger, fake crab is quite nice. Though you really have to watch what you buy...I got some once that was Pollack, but contained crab juices...and the crab juices were not mentioned on the ingredient label. This was probably 30 years ago, and labeling has improved a good bit since then!!!
I you have the chance Roger, you really should have a lobster po-boy!! Makes me hungry thinking about it...and I just finished eating...
What else?? I only recall the 'usual' laundry and loading the sink dishes into the dishwasher....
Tomorrow I see the Cardio doc who has watched my echocardiogram, and I'll hear what he has to say....
Wish me luck.

I'm pretty sure we are made from chemicals as well as what we eat. I prefer My food to have preservatives in it too.

We have a Tub that we put the rolled up 1/2 liter water bottles into and then I Usually have a cardboard box that I put the paper goods into and sit it on top of the plastics bin. We also have a smaller rectangular bin that is marked for paper goods and a Round bin for the other types that were distributed when they introduced mandatory recycling. I actually use the round one as a garbage bin.
I think it is too late for me to start trying to like seafood, Things like Sea bugs AKA Crabs and Lobsters. Clams, etc.
Good Luck at the Docs.
Have a Good Day

Howdy all y'all. It's fantastic Friday! 71 with an expected high of 86 and 30% chance of precipitation.
Need to get out today or tomorrow (at the latest) to get cat food and a few other things. I can probably combine this into a single trip, as the pet store and Publix are all in the same complex. Hopefully my prescriptions at Publix will be ready too! Wouldn't that be handy?
Need to clean cat bowls from yesterday and feed the cats. Woke up with a headache but suspect that it is weather related as yesterday evening's weather was not nice.

Zero waste chocolate cake. Not sure what zero waste means in this sense...I presume at a minimum, nothing that can't compost, but they may mean nothing at all!
I've watched a bit of it and at least one of them is going for vegan as well.

Hi
I'm back home from walking no cents. The Temperature out the door was 75 degrees and uncomfortable while walking due to humidity
I could see where there had been light rain overnight. The heavy rain is due to arrive later on.

Today's forecast is for 80% chance an then a few days of 50% chance of rain OTOH it will keep us from needing to water the garden.
That would be a great thing if You could do it all in one trip.
I was sort of wondering if last nights headache could be from the weather front moving through the area too.

Congratulations on a great heart report, FWIW You are only a little ahead of me in years.
I loved that bacon one too. Sadly it could be a truth too. There is something called social passing.GardenKatGardens wrote: »Hi!

Principal lets students pass even if they never went to class
This high school is a hooky player’s dream.
At DeWitt Clinton HS in the Bronx, kids who have cut class all semester can still snag a 65 passing grade — and course credit — if they complete a quickie “mastery packet.”
Insisting that students can pass “regardless of absence,” Principal Pierre Orbe has ordered English, science, social studies and math teachers to give “make up” work to hundreds of kids who didn’t show up or failed the courses, whistleblowers said.
I hate to look at it this way but I hope all that was elsewhere in Your area.
I am afraid we may have that sort of weather today.
Have a Good Day

Howdy y'all. It's satisfying Saturday! 72 with an expected high of 87 and 30% chance of precipitation. Notice it's never anything like 21% or 36% or even 25%? Always 10, 20, 30, etc. with nothing in between the 10s. One wonders, but not all that hard, why this is the case.
Might do some laundry today but think I'm taking the weekend mostly off.

Hey! Its only 10p.m.!!
not at all busy day today...Did get to the gym..other than that, not much. Cooked some rice. Some squash, and some asparagus.. Hardly a day's work. But will keep me in food for a few days.
Tom E did not come home for dinner. I have thought for several weeks now that somebody besides me is feeding the moocher...fine by me! I'm sure he'll be here early tomorrow morning.
I think I'm hearing far off thunder. Didn't watch the weather tonite, maybe I should have??
On my way to bed, I need a scrabble word...life's tough, eh?

Hi
I'm back home from walking 1 cent. The Temperature out the door was 72 degrees and uncomfortable while walking due to the dew point being in the oppressive range again
The rains appear to be gone for the time being and it did dry out somewhat overnight. Parts of NJ had over 4 inches of rain and flooding. This area I am in is located in a large area that was under a flash flood alert. We never see flooding on this street, other parts of town can flood where the roads cross over brooks.

Yesterday, Saturday, Was not that bad for a high temperature showing in the 70s, Humid though.
I never wondered about that TBH. On thinking back and reflecting You are correct.
