Howdy all y'all. It's terrific Tuesday! Warm with no chance of precipitation. I might get out for a little shopping if I can ascertain that I actually have any money.

I know I have some money, and I am a week behind getting to the bank for the money I take out of the Social Security money.
It seems that the Oncologist likes to look at the results of the Catscan and MRI so today off I go to the Hospital to get a disk for each. Either I will get one for him and one for my records or I'll have to copy them here at home.
The Hernia has turned out to be a mixed blessing, without the Catscan to confirm that the Other issue would not have been detected this early...
Make ? I could see making Meatloaf or Sausage toppings, Pepperoni OTOH would come from the store in my case. Those along with Bacon would be my toppingsChris and Andy Try to Make the Perfect Pizza Toppings
You could make Your own Mozzarella but why bother. I did have a slice of Meatball Pizza that had Ricotta on it, Delicious too.
This Vegan person sure gets aroundEASY VEGAN 1 POT MEALS
Pasta Dishes should be easy and a Broth using vegetable broth as the base and Voila. Add Some Mushrooms for texture etc.
Interesting, Larger than I would have expected however. You would expect a MRE intended for the field to be compact so You could carry several easily. Lipton TeaTURKISH 24-Hour MRE Ration Taste Test
Using a Pressure Cooker, Good idea. The Foods all looked delicious too. Can I judge some of these ??The ULTIMATE 20 MINUTE COOKING BATTLE
I'm sorry but this does not sound good to me. Pass on "the buns are topped with satay and sweet chilli jam" A Well Done Burger with Cheese and Bacon, Mayo, Ketchup, Tomato slice and Lettuce for me.The PBJ Burger
I do like the Buns Toasted with Grill marks, Yummy.
Thank You, Me too. I think I'll pass on more info until after the doctor visit Tuesday.parityanimal wrote: »The report was not good news the biopsy show consistent with Adenocarcinoma and favors a Primary Liver Cholangiocarcinoma

Sounds like you will be in good hands with the Doc that you will be seeing. Wishing you the very best.

Mountain House is known for their freeze dried foods that keep a long time. I had originally thought he was reviewing the Dollar Tree Frozen version, I tried it and it was not good. TVP and not just Sausage meat in the Sausage, I'm disappointed in Mountain House due to that.
The NS biscuit and sausage gravy breakfast is one I missed, It must have been before my time. I seem to remember someone mentioning that NS also had a Hot Dog meal ? I would love to see a Hot Dog & Beans Entree.

Thanks for the offer, However and this may sound strange I hate being on the phone even with my brother and Sister. In person no problem, I'm weird ?
I appreciate the kind thoughts. I have decided to ignore thinking about it until I see the doctor Tuesday. Sort of a what will be will be type of thinking. It lets me sleep so...

Howdy all y'all. It's wonderful Wednesday! It's supposed to get pretty warm, with a 20% chance of rain. I may need to get out for a few things, including gas, as I had to drive J to the airport this morning. I have been up since 4:00 for that purpose. A nap is definitely desired for later.
Lilo is wondering why I didn't make myself any breakfast. Little does she know, I had a fast food (Bojangle's) breakfast on the way home.

I hate being on the phone too. I can do it, and often had to for business calls and such, but it still just gets under my skin. I do everything I can to minimize any requirement to be on the phone. Texting is almost as bad.
When people want to call just to, as it were, "hang out" over the phone, I will run out of things to say almost instantly, thus drying up the conversation, so any expectation that I would keep up my end is quickly shattered.0 -

Good Thursday Morning!
Not quite bright sunny morning, but getting there. Today looks to be busy too. Yesterday I played "Beat The Clock"...(remember that TV show?)...from gym to grocery, to home and 4p. to talk with Jack. (which you guys would hate, and poor Jack would have to keep himself company for his 90 minute commute on Tuesdays )
Roger, (and you too Ed) I'm glad you 'came clean' about phone convo. I guess I'm just 'bi-modal' which I just made up). ANd upon looking up Modal, I see is not the correct usage of Modal... I could be bi-modality...except that sounds stupid. LOL!
Texting can be a quick way to communicate something, but these long 'ping pong' type texts drives me crazy too. You got that much to say??? pick up the phone!!!
Today, gym, possible load of laundry, gas the car, etc. And unless I hear otherwise, Olivia will be doing gymnastics tonite. So then there's that....
I need to watch some video's today...I'm getting way behind, and from Roger's added input, I see I would like to watch about 8 of them from the past several days....I'm seeing my neighbor packing the moving truck...Its bitter sweet for me...I truly hate to see them leave...and I totally understand why, and I know how exciting this is for them...

Lilo is wondering why I didn't make myself any breakfast. Little does she know, I had a fast food (Bojangle's) breakfast on the way home.
Today is shaping up to be the warmest day of the week according to the weather people.
Hmm... When I had to do that for Mom, I used to do all my errands on the way back from the airport. Gas Stations and some open overnight grocery stores were enough and that way I saved a extra trip with the car. I also picked up Breakfast on the way home. The now closed Texas Weiner had a good breakfast deal. Three Eggs, Home Fries and Meat. I generally got Pork Roll which was hand sliced off of the Roll of Pork Roll. One of the other things I liked was that he did not try to cook with almost no oil, it had enough oil for the salt to stick instead of bouncing off. Then he sold out and the new owner used a meat slicer for the meat and less of it and went to a near oil free cooking and the salt did not stick to the Eggs and Potatoes so I stopped going there.
How is the BoJangles food ?
Good price if they are edible. TBH after watching the Video I would not search them out nor pay full price, OTOH at $1 I would buy a couple of each in case I liked the after I tried them. $1 is not to bad a loss if I hated them.I have actually tried a number of the Tasty Bite dishes.

Texting, Whats That. I had to figure out how to do it when the hospital kept texting me and since with this plan every text costs money I had an incentive to do it. Of the three Cell phones in the house this is the only one that can receive or send text messages. My sister prefers to text vs email, Why ?

TGIF!! to us old retired people. It tickles me to pieces that my body/mind is still somewhat geared to working schedules...like "Yea, its the weekend". Heck most any day on the calendar is 'weekend' anymore!!!

And....here comes one of the pick up trucks. Can't tell if its recycle or trash...ah, now I can see that it is recycle truck. I don't know why that matters to me!?!?!?
We did have gymnastics last night. Will have another next Thurs, and then done for the summer for sure, and likely forever. O has reached the 'age limit'. Though she does work parties for Miss Lisa, and I think I heard correctly that will entitle her to also use the classes? or maybe just the equipment??? not sure which..
Almost dressed, and hope to be out the door soon...some weed eater stuff I want to get done today, as Ted is cutting grass tomorrow morning. So, will do the edging in front of house, and the back will knock down anything that I can get to... like my pebble pathway, etc. I should also finish transplanting the black mondo, but I think I may wait and do that tomorrow, while Ted runs the lawn mower.
Hope everybody has a good Friday, and is looking forward to the weekend.

So, I watched the Vegan Protein vid after reading Rogers post. They're all good Roger. Just remember anything hat has cells...meat, veggies, fruit, etc. will have all of the 20+ proteins...just in varying amounts of each individual amino acids. So, by eating a variety of different foods, this gal while annoying to listen to and watch, is getting all the protein she needs.. I love everything she bought, except the canned tomatoes...and that's just cuz I'm not a big tomato-y fan. A little in a soup to help balance the flavors..ok. But too much and yuck! LOL! Just me of course.
I would have added onion, garlic, maybe a few nuts, and/or seeds..and mushrooms. And a frozen entree or two just in case I get into a time crunch, or a lazy moment or three. Plenty of vegan frozen entree's these days.
Ok, I have eaten my breakfast, finished my coffee AND a cup of herbal tea..(this cup tulsi, mint, etc = tasty tea!!)

Who are you and what have you done with Valerie? She never checks in that early!
Howdy all y'all. It's sunny Saturday! Hot today with 20% chance of rain. Internet has been down since about lunch time yesterday, and the cable boxes by the neighbor's driveway are opened up. Yesterday I thought that meant someone was actually working on it but they looked unchanged at bedtime and again this morning. Yesterday the modem wouldn't stay "online", but mostly blinked. This morning, it has a steady green light but still can't get to anything. I will try to initiate contact later this morning if still no change.

I did read that OTOH I still thought it was an interesting article. These superbright LED headlights that blind me on the road ?
We have no trouble telling which is which, One day is garbage, another day is the County Recycle Truck and a third day it is the yard waste pickup.

Almost dressed, and hope to be out the door soon...some weed eater stuff I want to get done today, as Ted is cutting grass tomorrow morning. So, will do the edging in front of house, and the back will knock down anything that I can get to... like my pebble pathway, etc. I should also finish transplanting the black mondo, but I think I may wait and do that tomorrow, while Ted runs the lawn mower.
Hope everybody has a good Friday, and is looking forward to the weekend.
Oh, and I double checked 'modal' and modality..we are both correct Roger. I didn't know about the word as 'freight shipped'...so I learned something. Which I try to do each day. 'try' is the word! LOL
Later...
Weed Eater stuff, A pain since we have to run a heavy duty extension cord.
Learning something new helps keep the brain humming along on all cylinders.
I find it hard to get past annoying TBH.GardenKatGardens wrote: »So, I watched the Vegan Protein vid after reading Rogers post. They're all good Roger. Just remember anything hat has cells...meat, veggies, fruit, etc. will have all of the 20+ proteins...just in varying amounts of each individual amino acids. So, by eating a variety of different foods, this gal while annoying to listen to and watch, is getting all the protein she needs.. I love everything she bought, except the canned tomatoes...and that's just cuz I'm not a big tomato-y fan. A little in a soup to help balance the flavors..ok. But too much and yuck! LOL! Just me of course.
I would have added onion, garlic, maybe a few nuts, and/or seeds..and mushrooms. And a frozen entree or two just in case I get into a time crunch, or a lazy moment or three. Plenty of vegan frozen entree's these days.
Ok, I have eaten my breakfast, finished my coffee AND a cup of herbal tea..(this cup tulsi, mint, etc = tasty tea!!)
For sure now...LaTeR.... (see how happy I get on the eve of Weekend? LOL!)
And from what she bought some bargain huh ?
It makes sense to me to to keep ready to heat Vegan meals just in case.
I actually ate a Banana this morning when I got up and later during the drive to New Brunswick It was repeating on me
Camp Granada, would that be the old Allan Sherman Song ?GardenKatGardens wrote: »Good Morning...its here! Saturday
Eating my oatmeal, (with blueberries, hemp seed, ground flax, and cinnamon). Is all good!
Just watched and listened to Camp Granada..laughed all over again! And last night I watched dissy tissy go grocery shopping on Mothers Day at Aldi's. ADD? What a hoot. Hope she never shops at my Aldi's!
Ted should be here in about an hour,, and I have a couple things I'd like to finish up before he arrives.
Hope you are both having a good day. Will be hot here, and nice in NJ I think.
Later...
dissy tissy ? Who or what is that.
Good Luck with the Yard work

I am curious if that is having a effect on those Google Phones You bought or can they fall back to Cellular ?parityanimal wrote: »Who are you and what have you done with Valerie? She never checks in that early!
Howdy all y'all. It's sunny Saturday! Hot today with 20% chance of rain. Internet has been down since about lunch time yesterday, and the cable boxes by the neighbor's driveway are opened up. Yesterday I thought that meant someone was actually working on it but they looked unchanged at bedtime and again this morning. Yesterday the modem wouldn't stay "online", but mostly blinked. This morning, it has a steady green light but still can't get to anything. I will try to initiate contact later this morning if still no change.
That also makes me wonder how You are posting here ?

Everything I have been doing is using the phone. It's not a Google phone, but uses Google Fi as the cellular service. The phones actually sold by Google can auto-switch between three different networks, but our phones are limited to the T-Mobile network. And, of course, wi-fi. But most all smart phones will use wi-fi for data when possible, to save on the data usage through the carrier.
My phone can act as a wi-fi hot spot, which DOES use the data from the carrier. So I'm not doing too much on the net with that, but I am using it. We have unlimited data, but it costs $10 per GB, charged per .1 GB, up to a maximum of 10 GB at that rate, and then is free up to 15 GB, at which point it will still be free but will be throttled. So we only pay for what we use, maxed out at $100 cost. With J out of town a lot this month, and the home net down for a while, we might run a bit high this month but we know the upper limit on cost.
A technician from Xfinity will be arriving this afternoon to try to figure out what is wrong.
