    Hi
    I'm back from walking again and 11 cents. The temperature this morning was 27 on the porch.
    The Sun is out and the sky was clear with stars showing in the night sky when I started out for my walk. Yesterdays weather forecasts are saying that we could get another storm on Wednesday.

    Howdy y'all. It's marvelous Monday! 41 out there now with an anticipated high of 63 and 30% chance of precipitation.

    Is it just me or are those percentages always a multiple of 10?

    Still need to get that laundry done, and maybe get a few things at the store. We do have an orchid show coming up this weekend, and I'm helping with the hospitality for it, but that will be a separate trip, probably Wednesday.

    I've eaten and the sink is cleared, except for yesterday's cat bowls. Dinah and Kiara were tearing around like lunatics but have, for the moment, settled down to wait quietly for their breakfast.
    Hi Ed
    It's not just You, I have noticed that too. The weather forecast for Wednesday is looking worse as time goes on. I hope Your weather is better tomorrow than ours.

    Have a Nice Day

    Good Morning!
    Local weather says rain late evening...Weather Channel is throwing in rain noon thru 1p, and then late night rain...
    Gym, a few groceries, and more house work,
    Yesterday I 'binge watched' Dr. Doug Lisle. and did only what had to be done, like unload the dishwasher, and clean cat boxes. Then last night I started moving furniture and got out the carpet cleaner thingy and cleaned the dining room carpet...will do the living room tonite. Tom was freaked. But, he was alright with the noise by the time I was done. :)

    I hadn't seen 'Uncle Miltie'' in years! Thanks Ed.

    I did enjoy, and hopefully learned a few things from Dr. Lisle. He was a presenter on the foodie vid series that I'm currently watching, and I eventually ended up on his web page, Esteem Dynamics...and there I spent the majority of my Sunday.

    I think its time to let the cat back in the house, as he just hoped onto the porch, and then I'll hop into the shower, and off to the gym, and Kroger!

    Later...
    Hi Valerie
    At least You will only get rain.

    Ah, Uncle Miltie.

    I'm curious if those webcasts lead to advertising ?
    Good morning! Guess who is wide awake? Just thought I'd pop in a bit early ! It is at this point that my post ends? Don't know why it won't post my idea for a long nap? But...this is the LAST time I'm poking letters on my iPad.

    Later...

    Good question, I have had that happen to me on rare occasions. What I do then is Copy the page, close the one that will not post and then reopen it and paste back in and post.

    Enjoy the Day

    Howdy y'all. It's terrific Tuesday! Lili has had her shot, I've eaten, the sink is cleared except for yesterday's cat bowls. I do still need to fold that last large load of laundry, which is towels and whites. 50 degrees out there with an expected high of 62 and verified 100% chance of precipitation.


    Interesting life "hack" here.

    Good Afternoon!
    Last nite was almost funny now that its over! I'd been awake for a bit. Played my crossword turn, read a bit, decided to be silly for a bit. So I typed on my iPad this longish morning hello, complete with appropriate memes...and it only recorded the first line....weird..so I did it again...with the same result. Not do funny that time...anyway, the only thing I could think of ist was where I'd inserted the first meme..after that nada!

    Rain, and rain. Poor Tom E. wanted out, followed by sitting at the door lookin miserably inside, and that happened several more times than it should have! He's napping now, finally. I'm heading out to put gas in the car, and hit the gym for a few minutes...today's chat day with Jack. So time is limited.

    Hope you're both dry and warm...Ed, its actually stopped raining here, and Roger it looks like you'll be seeing our rain tomorrow! Sorry bout that!

    My left arm is about to feel 'normal' again. Remember I said that weed eater was heavy? I actually ended up with 'second day sore' from only about 15 minutes with that thing...and then cleaning carpet the next evening surely didn't help anything! So, I figure after a summer with the weed eater my left arm should rival Popeye's, if of course I eat my spinach.
    Began that today with a nice baby spinach and arugula salad for lunch.

    Ok....I need to get out the door...

    Later...
    Oh, some of those cartoons were really good...thanks!

    Hi
    I'm back from walking again and no cents. The temperature this morning was 35 on the porch.
    Yesterdays weather forecasts that were saying that we could get another storm on Wednesday appear to be happening. So far It is only wet outside with a wet snow falling and it is only sticking to cars and the lawns.

    Hi Valerie
    I had something similar happen to me here. It was connected to something I had inserted in the text too. It cut off everything after that point. I can only guess it is something in the forum software that checks what is being posted.

    I am indeed getting Your rain :(

    I hate that when it happens, a sore arm is not good.

    I'm glad that You enjoyed the cartoons.
    TeeHee! It's me again!

    Later...

    Ah Ha !

    Howdy y'all. It's wonderful Wednesday!

    42 out there now with an expected high of 50 and 0% chance of precipitation.

    Got the laundry all finished up yesterday and ran the dishwasher too.

    Eduardo made Chicken Marsala for dinner last night. J had some leftover fried rice that he warmed up with extra, added egg, for his dinner. He was out around lunchtime for an appointment, and picked up on his way home, eating only part of it and leaving the rest for dinner.

    I have another plate of the Chicken Marsala in the fridge to reheat for another meal. It may be dinner tonight.

    We have to go and sign some papers early this afternoon, and get the money to pay us for the use of our land in the building of the sidewalk that we do NOT WANT. At least they are giving us some money for it. Maybe I can use some of it to pay my auto insurance that's coming due at the first of April. While we're out maybe we'll pick up something for lunch.

    While we're out I also need to buy canned cat food as I'm about to feed the last cans to three STARVING cats who can't remember when they last ate but it was AGES ago.

    Emmy tries some kind of chili dog thing...half smokes? Halfway smoked or smaller sized but fully smoked? Guess we have to watch to find out.

    Good Morning! Its 43 now, with sunny but WINDY conditions...like 18 mph according to the weather channel. Even Tom was hesitant to go outside! I'm just glad I pushed myself out the door yesterday for a small grocery run, and a big gas fill-up! Pumping gas today would be akin to torture!

    OK...I may be stepping WAY out of line here...and if so I'm sorry. But, in almost every post (except today, of course) Roger has mentioned his weight loss and attributes it to Intermittent Fasting, and 100% compliance to NS. Well and good. I mentioned I was watching a series of lectures on food, health, diabetes and obesity. Why? Looked interesting, as I am so thankful that I have not developed diabetes and have left my days of being morbidly obese way behind in the dust! BUT...last nights episode was on Fasting and its benefits from the science side of the issue. It was very interesting. The presenter took a complex subject from the science side, and made it interesting and practical. I'm going to listen to it again as I go about my morning, and I thought I'd share a link if either of you are interested. Its free to register, and is not a gateway to all kinds of goofy commercials. At some point they will make a pitch for you to buy the series at 60% off regular price (what ever that is), but of course you are not going to do that! Long story short, its free to sign up for the series, its #8 in a nine part series, and then if they operate as per usual, there will be a 48 hour period when all of the series will be available to watch, in case you missed a night. The cut off time is 9pm sharp! So you have all day, and early evening to watch episode #8.

    This should get you to the web site...its a link thru Google:

    Ed, I don't think any of those 'dining room' chairs were being used for eating...they look underfed, undernourished, and depressed!!! LOL!! (your post about making chairs from Monday? I think) It was your quip that made me laugh! I've enjoyed these on 'how its made'. Stuff like that always interests me. And today there's another vid of the kids eating and one from Emmy too!!

    Tom's been in, ate some more of his breakfast, and begged to go out again? since I started this post. Cat is daft!!!!

    Hey, Just watched the video's. Loved the falafel one naturally! Emmy is always amusing. and honest! Kids are weird! Amazing what they will eat and what they'll turn their noses up at.
    Tom has been up and down all day...excuse me, I have been up and down all day letting Tom in and out! This morning he actually napped on my lap while I rocked. That doesn't happen very often.
    Nap is in order...lazy cuz I haven't done a blasted thing today except heat some of the split pea soup I made yesterday, and I unloaded the dishwasher....too lazy to get dressed to go to the gym even! Tomorrow! tomorrow is just a day away..fortunately!

    Oops

    Man Made Global Warming is causing Man Made Global Cooling because of
    reverse amplification carbon molecule epicycles in the inverted ozone
    stratification layer of the atmosphere, The carbon has clearly overloaded the earth's dilithium
    crystals and her core is getting ready to blow!

    If we initiate the Alan Parson’s Project Stereotomy protocol, and
    raise enough selling Carbon Credits, we could afford to use Biological
    Circuit Re-Fabrication Synthesis to reverse the polarity of the
    Beam-Powered Propulsion Unit in the Flux Capacitor and
    concentrate warp particles into a monounsaturated tachyon beam at a
    static charge energy of 1.21 gigawatts.

    That might be able to stabilize earth’s Carbon-14 force field,
    repatriate the core, and prevent a total annihilation of the beryllium
    sphere! It is a long shot, but it is our only hope…

    It’s Science!!! Do it for the children!!!

    Hi
    I'm did not go walking today and Thus no cents. The temperature this morning was 32 on the porch. Since we need to go shovel more heavy snow later I decided to take the day off from walking :smiley:

    The weather forecasts regarding the storm on Wednesday appear to have been accurate. Parts of NJ had over 26 inches of snow. Here in Central NJ it looks like under a foot of that very heavy wet snow. The power went off an on a few times yesterday with the final outage having a duration of 5 hours. The Plows went through overnight and the end of the driveway looks like we never shoveled it :(
    When we were out shoveling there was a steady crack noise in the air and another branch would be breaking off the trees in sight and falling. between the tree across the street and next door there must have been 6 large branches break off. Those would be the ones 6 to 12 inches and too many to try and count of smaller branches.
