    Hi
    I'm back home from walking and once again no money was found. The Temperature out the door was 35 degrees and the walking was more or less OK. There is a breeze blowing causing a wind chill on the exposed surfaces that are not covered by the hoodie.

    Hello Guys! I had a lot of reading and some watching to catch up on...Script waiting for me at Costco, house chores are in need of being done...and O has gymnastics tonite...
    Yep, not much to do!! LOL! (that's what retirement is all about, right?)

    Don't worry about the many meat vid's. Meat is just not a trigger for me. Nor eggs, and NEVER milk! so you see what's left here don't ya? RIGHT deserts!!! LOL! Now those, yep, those are a trigger. But good to watch and not eat....all of the little 'things' made from veg, fruit and cheeses way to cute!!

    Roger do you suppose the deafness isolates people, and therefore may cause depression? I tried to find the actual 'study' that the article was based on...no luck.
    Your brother's idea of non-watching the 1st oval office upchuck was a good choice. No, I didn't watch.. Why would I...for one, you were right about the sequence of the whole charade. I just think he would have made a fab. circus clown/barker for Ringling.
    Hi Valerie
    I seem to have less free time since I retired also :(

    I do not know why deafness has that effect. OK I used a link in the original article and found this
    https://www.studyfinds.org/depression-faster-brain-aging-memory-problems-older-adults/
    Depression Tied To Faster Brain Aging, Poor Memory In Seniors, Study Says
    From this article I see this
    Researchers from the University of Miami’s Miller School of Medicine examined 1,111 adults about 70 years old who haven’t suffered from strokes.
    and
    “Since symptoms of depression can be treated, it may be possible that treatment may also reduce thinking and memory problems,” says study author Adina Zeki Al Hazzouri in an American Academy of Neurology press release. “With as many as 25 percent of older adults experiencing symptoms of depression, it’s important to better understand the relationship between depression and memory problems.”
    Which has this link to a press release
    https://www.aan.com/PressRoom/Home/PressRelease/1649


    I sometimes wonder if the way politics are handled these days has as one of its aim to turn people off from the process ?
    Ed, great laundry week for ya! LOL.
    I only had one real load of laundry this week. (I wear layers in the winter...so my dark laundry is always my friend.
    Tom E. still trying to kill me. He's getting worse and worse about being in the way of my locomotion!

    Oh, I forwarded the pix of the first Dodge Ram to my little brother. I also have forwarded some video's to watch etc. He's just found 'religion' when it comes to eating healthy. Seems as though he's being 'threatened' with a diagnosis of T2D. Was told to lose weight, and they'd watch it till it becomes full fledged diabetes. Offered no other clue how to avoid it. Glad to see he's trying to clean up his eating, and they have (John and SIL) joined a gym, etc. This is a really crummy time to be diagnosed with ANYTHING, because of insurance not covering pre-existing conditions. Note to ALL of us...stay as healthy as you possibly can...now is no time to get tagged with any condition/disease, etc.
    I had been told that I was Pre Diabetic for years, I wish that I had known then what I do now, I could have avoided some numbness in my feet from those many years, Oh well, it is what it is.
    You might warn Your brother that even bear diabetes can cause a slow damage that creeps up on a person.

    In what way does insurance not cover Preexisting conditions ? I could have sworn that was a part or the ACA and that it was still in effect ? FWIW I have not run into a limitation based on that.

    My Brother liked the Dodge Ram Pix also.
    My watch wants me to get up and 'do anything' for the next minute or so.... yesterday I managed to 'over shoot' my standing goal. (this watch comes with default values) So, I stood up and moved 16/12 12 being the default and 16 what I actually did.! Guess I need to figure out how to bump up the goal a bit.

    Ok, Tom E. the 'Valerie killer' is back in the house. So, I need to be on my way to Costco and get my script.

    Later...
    (Unless I faint when I see the bill for one 3 month script....I'm in that part where I pay full price for the drugs. Stage 1 I think they call it. If that happens, I'll be given a nice ride in an ambulance and checked into the hospital.............) :wink:
    Nosy watch :wink:

    Be careful tripping on things can lead to big problems, A fall in the house sent Mom to the Hospital for example.

    I hope You enjoyed the Gymnastics.

    Howdy all y'all. When I first logged on this morning, it was -2C/29F with an expected high of 7C/45F and 0% chance of precipitation.

    It's thrilling Thursday! I have been up since about 5 after 6, and was pleased that Lilo let me "sleep in" that late. I've been distracted all morning (and most of last evening) configuring my new Windows notebook computer. I would have loved a newer, better MacBook, but that would have cost WAY more than we can afford right now and I'm not sure, anyway, if I want to continue growing with them as they continue to turn MacOS into iOS, as I was never quite as fond of iOS anyway. All the same, I have loved my Mac machines over the years but it will be fine going back to Windows, as I've kept up with it all along, though not using it all that much. I'll be using it now. And I'm considering going to a Dvorak key layout and trying to learn that, which will be very frustrating at first, I'm sure.

    Need to get yesterday's food bowls cleaned up and finish installing the last bit of apps and such on the new Windows notebook. I'm typing this on my iMac.

    And in a while I have to get J to the Marta so he can train down to the airport and head off for the weekend, to Miami, or at least that general vicinity, for a big plant show/sale.
    Hi Ed
    I am not sure if the Mac Computers are IOS in anything but name. Apple even refers to my little iPod as a IOS device, Huh ?

    You are braver than I trying a new keyboard layout like a Dvorak, I have enough trouble with the slightly different layouts on the AIO, Big Desktop and Laptop keyboards. If it were a desktop keyboard many of them make it easy to move the keytops around, with a laoptop I would likely look for a overlay that can be applied to prevent voiding the warranty unless You wanted to get a external Dvorak keyboard that You could try. I did a quick search and found USB, Bluetooth and Wireless Keyboard mouse combos with the Dvorak layout.

    I had a new windows update yesterday when I went to Hibernate this All In One desktop so I chose Update and shutdown. That works for me as I can choose "Restore Previous Session" from the History Tab in Firefox and be right back as if I had Hibernated. I saved the News Links in a wordpad document so that went easy too. Anytime I have a new computer or reload of windows I only install applications AKA Programs when I need them, I end up with fewer that way as there are usually some that I stopped using and never got around to uninstalling. The exceptions would be Anti-Malware and Antivirus.

    I hope that J has a good trip.

    You can find many recipes on the Internet that purport to be the KFC recipe. Deep fried vs Air Fried I'm not sure which would be better, OTOH I am sure that the KFC is deep fried. I do not know if they still do it the way they used to do with a Pressure cooker for the oil cooking.

    Howdy all y'all. It's fantastic Friday! -3C/27F with an expected high of 11C/51F and no chance of precipitation.

    I need to get the felines fed and get yesterday's cat bowls cleaned up.

    J made it to Miami OK, but they had an interesting check-in at the hotel.

    The hotel assigned them two rooms and gave them two keys, but the key that gave G, his traveling companion, wouldn't get them into the door they sent them to. From what I can gather, the internal latch had been set.

    The front desk assured them there was no one in that room and then (this is where it gets weird) gave J and G, two guests, the tool to open the internal latch. They did so and discovered that the room was, indeed, occupied and the man sleeping in there (fully unclothed) was not a happy camper!

    It turned out that they had sent her to the wrong room. Her room was supposed to be next to J's room and they had coded her key for a room a couple of doors down.

    Now...whey the *KITTEN* would the front desk assume no one was in the room and give two non-hotel employees the tool to open the inner latch, when there is NO WAY that the inner latch could have been set if the room was not occupied????

    For one, they broke any reasonable security rules by giving that tool to guests, rather than sending a hotel employee to check on that. The guests might have been assaulted or even shot by the occupant! And then there's the question of why the person(s) at the front desk would even think that it made sense to not, at that point, check to make sure they had sent her to the right room, and, regardless, re-code her key to another room, rather than allowing two guests to break into an obviously occupied room.

    I certainly hope that neither J nor G happens to encounter that particular guest again in their stay, as that would be awkward, at best.

    And the personnel who sent them up there, with the tool, needs some re-training on how to deal with such a situation.

    So, to get our minds off that bizarre scenario, here is a different check-in tale. Chicken check-in. Or how chicken gets from the farm to the table. Discounting, of course, those chickens that just get grabbed by grandma and go straight to the farmhouse kitchen and then dinner.

    Last night's dinner was delicious!

    I rubbed the pork loin with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and crushed rosemary, then roasted it, on a rack, uncovered, at 350 for about two hours, having put a half cup of water in the pan under it to keep the drippings from burning. Then, while it was standing, covered, for 30 minutes, I turned the oven to 425 and I baked a box mix Betty Crocker Parmesan Asiago potato casserole, and drained the meat pan drippings to use later for gravy. Then I turned the oven to 475 and popped the pork loin back into the oven to crisp up, for ten minutes. While it was crisping up, I made the gravy, and ate most of my salad.

    Then I cut myself a couple of slices of the pork loin, and served them to myself, with gravy, and a nice helping of the potato casserole, about a quarter of it.

    I think I may have actually tried these, many, many years ago and found them to be...edible, technically, but definitely not something I'd choose again. If they were put in front of me, I'm sure I would be OK with eating them, but people could definitely put something more appetizing in front of me. I remember trying a number of the Loma Linda canned meatless "meat" items and finding them all to be rather bland, and with an odd texture, and haven't had any great desire to go back and try them again, or to try new versions of them. They're not BAD, but lord, they aren't good. Or perhaps they're just not to my taste. They stay available so someone must be eating them.

    Hi
    I'm back home from walking and the first money of the new year was found, That would be one whole penny. The Temperature out the door was 17 degrees and the walking was OK due to the absence of any wind.

    Hello Ed
    I can explain why they were given that tool. Common sense has been discarded from the educational curriculum as has problem solving.

    If I were the guest that they opened the door on I would be all over the hotel with complaints and likely be asking for some form of compensation. How could You sleep well after having the sense of security destroyed like that.

    The other question is why the clerk did not double check or at least send a employee with them to use that tool ? So Weird.

    That dish of food looked so tasty and I loved the browning on the Potato Casserole. The Brown Gravy looks like it turned out great, Is that bits of the Pork Loin in it or bits of Mushroom or ??

    I was in the Grocery store Thursday and looked at the hot food section, I picked up Dry Rub Spare Ribs that were not as tasty as usual and since they looked so good a small spoon of Scalloped Potatoes which turned out to taste OK except that Scalloped Potatoes should not be Crunchy !

    A meatless Hot Dog, I guess it will take a lot of things to make it edible. As You say someone must be buying them, there would never be enough bought by people that want to try them to keep them on the market.

    Hello Valerie

    I hope Your weather is OK, What I saw in the weather forecasts did not look that good for Your area.

    The forecast keeps changing. Friday the forecast from two different TV stations indicated and inch of more and the other a trace or complete miss for my area, Which is it, Likely a third forecast would be different too. All the Computer models and fancy weather satellites and that is the best they can come up with a forecast arrival 30 hours in the future :(

    Howdy all y'all. It's supposedly soggy Saturday! 4C/39F with an expected high of 4C/40F and 80% chance of precipitation.

    Need to clean up yesterday's cat bowls. Felines have already got their food for today set out and most of the canned breakfast food eaten. I took a break from pork loin this morning and had mac and cheese for breakfast.

    Need to get a nap in. Haven't changed over on keyboard as yet, but may ponder that when J gets home from Florida. He says he has some stickers that can go on the keys, or he may be able to assist in changing out the key caps themselves. We'll see...I may look into changing them myself. But I fear damaging. I'll probably wait.

    Hi Ed
    Nothing wrong with Mac & Cheese for Breakfast as long as it fits your dietary needs. If it was left over as if that would happen here, I would likely crisp it up in the skillet using Butter rather than Oil.

    Laptop keyboards are very delicate and messing with them may void the warranty, Thus my suggestion for a external Keyboard or a key overlay. OTOH I do tend to the cautious side, a Lot :wink:
    One possibility is see if You can get a second keyboard for Your model to try the changeover with then if successful swap it in. Depending on the brand You might find a hardware service manual available from the manufacturer, Some are better than others, also look and see if YouTube has any how to videos.

    Hi
    I'm back home from walking and once again no money was found. The Temperature out the door was 30 degrees and the walking is OK. The snow in the forecast for my area is either not coming or is delayed, the forecast showed it overspreading my area overnight before the time I would be out the door. So far so good, Since I have not seen any weather reports today I do not know if further South which was forecast to be hit harder is getting any snow.

    burned the people, what to do with the letters? I've often wondered about that!! Gotta love the English/American language.

    Now this I want to see!!!! WOWZA!!!

    Yep gout is called the affliction of the kings...its a form of arthritis, caused by inflammatory foods we eat. Not limited to meat... its really too bad there is a 'pill for that'....change in diet is a healthier, cheaper, way to go!!! Also I know people who swear by Tart Cherry Juice...again, a choice. Pill or a known inflammation fighter food.

    Ok, going to post, pull up the next page and see what Ed's been up to....betting my money on more delightful food adventures???, cats???, laundry???, ok, tooo many Eduardo hats to mention them all.... :)

    Oh Dear!!! No posts from my fellow Gwinnett poster...
    Wonder if he has a keyboard problem....I hope not. That would be frustrating,...and I hope J is home to help!!! if not now, very soon!!

    See, if that was my leftover mac & cheese, and I wanted to reheat it....toaster oven, or non stick pan. Why add more fat to an already fat dish? Just me... remember I'm the nut who's latched on to the phrase "The fat you eat, is the fat you wear". That phrase is something akin to "what is once seen, cannot be unseen"...

    Ok, I have some battery corrosion in a couple of my battery op wax candles....my fault...I want to get them cleaned up, and may very well use them on my dining room table...(yup, they are on timers!)

    I have a great bag of tea bags, Peppermint Chocolate flavor...and it is sooo good. I think I will fix that before I clean the candles. Hopefully will make the cleaning up a bit more enjoyable!?!?

    Later...

    Howdy all y'all. It's sumptuous Sunday! 3C/38F with an expected high of 9C/49F and 10% chance of precipitation.

    I've been up since about 5:45 but distracted by this and that. Now I'm pondering being distracted by lunch, which will finish off that pork loin. I've almost lost track of how many meals I got out of it but it was quite a few. I think lunch will put it at 7. That comes out to about 10 oz of protein per meal, which is a bit more than most eating plans call for but I generally go for a bit more protein and less carbs and fat, though I'm less strict about the fat than some.

    Need to clean up yesterday's cat bowls and get a nap in. J is coming home very late tonight and, assuming he can catch that last MARTA train from the airport, I need to be at the station to pick him up. My plan is to be there, but not exactly with bells on...
