DoD bought phony military gear made in China, including counter-night vision clothing that didn’t actually work
The U.S. military, government agencies and other purchasers bought more than $20 million worth of Chinese-made counterfeit goods designed to look like domestically produced gear from a company that defrauded the government and helped to orchestrate the counterfeiting process between January 2013 and October 2018, Justice Department officials said last week.

My pension hasn't even pre-posted yet, though I know it is in the can, as the allotment to the pets' account HAS posted, in the other bank. Once weekend processing starts, I should have the bulk of that pension payment available. My other annuity is scheduled to post on or about the 5th.
I did get a few items while out to dinner last night. I enjoyed goat curry at a nearby Jamaican restaurant and then stopped by Dollar General, which was a mistake. On the other hand, the smoked cheddar flavor of the wavy Pringle's is not bad. Terribly salty, but not bad
I guess I'll postpone the major shopping until at least tomorrow.
Curiousity prompts me to ask what is a Pets' account ? Do You have a account for the pets or is it something else entirely ?
I had hoped my Pension check would arrive in yesterdays mail, Nope That means maybe Monday and the earliest that I can run to the bank and cash it is Tuesday.
I find that stopping at any place selling food is a mistake, That is the reason I have three out of the four Kraft Mac & Cheese I bought tempting me It is also why I let my brother pick up the few things I need at the Grocery Store. Today's shopping list is huge 
3 zero calorie Gatorades, A package of sliced cheese, and Maybe Dearborn Farms Sesame Chicken from the refrigerated case. I find that I prefer it to the Grocery Stores Chinese Take out counter version for a couple of reasons.
1. It isn't floating in lots of sauce
2. It actually has Sesame Seeds sprinkled on it.
I tried the fried rice from them too, It reminds me of what Fried Rice used to be here. Bits of scrambled egg, peas, carrots and onions. The Local Thai food place has fried rice that is also the same.

Hello ValerieGardenKatGardens wrote: »Hi Guys...wonderful Saturday!
It was 63 degrees at my house this morning when I woke about 7:30ish.
I enjoyed about half a cup of my new coffee, (Mushroom Coffee Mix). The coffee was good! A slight bitter taste, sorta reminded me of a very dark chocolate taste.
Then I fed Tom E, and he sat with me for a short while before deciding he would go out the cat window and up onto the roof! Where he continued to 'over see' the work I was doing in the back yard. Like I need a supervisor? a mouthy one at that!
Finally quit about 11 a.m. it was by then 80, and the mosquitoes were beginning to stir. So, I've been eating lunch watching noon news and reading our posts, video's and laughing at the cartoons!
Mushroom Coffee Mix, Probably not for me as I have never had a flavored coffee that I did not taste and discard
A noisy Supervisor cat, lucky You.
I suspect that all over the country Mosquitoes are going to be bad with all the standing water left after the rains.
I never made Butter, I believe that we did have fresh churned butter when I was young and we visited a relatives farm.Have either of you ever made butter? There was a time that Dad had a milk cow, and a big black iron weird looking thing sat in our kitchen...it was a cream separator. I don't know that I ever saw it used. Must have been one of those things that happened before I got up, or more likely after I was asleep for the night...anyhow, we always had quart jars of fresh cream in the refrigerator. Then, there was this square glass container with a threaded top. The top had 4 paddles that went into the jar, and a geared handle to turn. That churned the butter. I always begged to do that. Which I half way did before it got to hard for me to turn.
Fast forward to about 1979, when my neighbor came over for coffee and was complaining bitterly about some 'bad whipping cream' that she got at the grocery. She was whipping it with a rotary hand held beater, and she noticed there were yellow lumps in that cream. She was taking it back to the grocer. AND she didn't believe me when I told her she's over whipped it and it was forming butter. So, I had to make butter for her!! The odd things I do!
I thought everyone knew not to overwhip cream, I see I was wrong. You can also over churn ice cream.
I'm guessing You got a message that You had a package at the Post Office ?Yesterday I got ALL of my chores done! That's not usual. At the post office they looked but couldn't find my package. When the mail ran, Kelsey left my package in the mailbox!! That's the second or third time something like that has happened. and I guess 2 or 3 times in 23 years is a pretty good average!
Found by accident a stand alone car wash as I was coming home from the PO. So for $5 bucks I got my car cleaned. There were more expensive option, but I just wanted the dust, and the one big splot of birdie poo on the hood gone!
Our financial workings are so different! I haven't looked yet, but my pension check from the Red Cross should have posted yesterday, and I'll go online and look later. My Social check posts on the third Wednesday of the month...and is not 'day dependent'. I rather it was day dependent, so I'd know that check was deposited on the 16th or what ever.
Ok, I've eaten, will check in with my bank, and then I think it must surely be nap time!!
Later...
I would have thought that all car washed were stand alone ? Or do You mean a hand wash ?
BTW $5 is a really good price.
My SSI should be in the account on the 12th, 2nd Monday and my brothers one week later.
If I said I do not have to check with the bank, I have both banks accounts set up to send automatic notices of balances, deposits and withdrawals via email.
I actually had a decent nap Saturday, I was tired.
Have a Nice Day

Howdy all y'all. It's simmering Sunday! Another hot one, and only 20% chance of rain.
We have a joint account in a local bank where we can both put money toward pet expenses. Once there, the rule is that it can ONLY be spent on their expenses. I have some automatically allotted each month and J currently puts money in when I remind him to. He used to have an automatic allotment but with his currant employer, that isn't as easy having it come right out of the pay check.
My money hasn't posted yet on my main bank, so big shopping just keeps getting bigger and probably will happen tomorrow.

Good Day! Sunday here!! and cool morning! Sweet!
worked out in the back again this morning. It was nice out. My supervisor (Tom E.) was nowhere to be seen. I think he was up on the roof, as I did see him go up there while I was drinking my mushroom coffee this morning. Listened to a couple pod casts while I worked. also a little music. Filled my wheel barrow with pine cones, and had about half of a barrow full yesterday. Darn things are everywhere! My mystery plant turned out to be a day lily. Did I tell you yesterday that the mulberry tree that Ted sawed off a few weeks ago, has all these sprouts...mulberry bush???
I've finished lunch (eggless egg salad stuffed pita with pickled onion, and a hand full of salad greens. And a small plate of sliced red bell pepper, celery, and those small cukes, and a few pieces of apple.
Next up, shower, gym clothes, visit with Jack and Jenn so I can give Jenn her birthday gift a couple days early. and then stopping at gym and finally home again! That's my day I've looked twice, and I do not see a space for a nap ???? hmmmmm.
I'll come back and watch a couple video's later, I watched most of the MRE one? I dunno why.
Why am I not surprised that DoD bought bogus stuff from China? I will read that, and most of the other news links later too.
Hope everyone has a good day!

I did get out to get cat food. And when did it decide to rain? Yep, as I was out getting cat food. And stopped right after I got home. Maybe I should have stayed out longer, so we'd get more rain. I didn't because I had braised lamb shanks and carrots waiting in the slow cooker, and I needed to get home, make the mashed potatoes, and thicken the gravy.

That makes a lot of sense, Sort of why I have a more or less untouchable savings account and free checking in one bank and free checking in another. One is for paying one credit card and other misc. expenses and the other pays the other credit card and is where SSI lands. The Savings account purpose when I set it up was for money to accumulate for the quarterly property taxes.
I hate it when the shopping list gets too big as that makes it cumbersome to bring into the house.
They say "How to Make an Easy Recipe for Pad Thai" ? Since they do show how to follow the recipe IMO OTOH I might just be being picky ?How to Make an Easy Recipe for Pad Thai
I do not recall ever seeing Radishes in Pad Thai. Pass on the shrimp and Chiles too, I will say that the dish looks tasty. I also suspect that the Thai restaurants in the area buy big bags of ready to use rice noodles to save time. Sort of like what a lot of fast food places do with bags of diced lettuce and bags of diced onions for example. Which has the added benefit of reducing the risk the unskilled workers will slice them selves open

Day Lilies are real hardy too, A couple of years ago when we tried Sunchokes and decided that they did not work in the front yard I took a couple that we had missed when we dug them and planted them along the shed by the fence in the back yard.

Good Morning! Monday!
Was 65 degrees when I woke, and is now 67...the brief wild storm that blew thru and 'cleaned' everything...it smells incredible too! Had my coffee out in the swing while Tom E. ate his breakfast. I really didn't want to come in! I may need to find a sturdy small table to put out there so I can take my laptop out on these sweet cool mornings.
Watched the 'mock' tofu video...or at least that portion of the video. I love using Besan/chickpea flour.
Ted's coming out this morning for yard work, and he was planning to wash my car...but I sorta did that the other day, so we'll wash his!
The box I was after last week Roger was my mushroom coffee, and I got varying messages about its where abouts. From 'Delivered' to 'Incomplete address'. (the address was perfectly correct FWIW)... but always saying it was out for delivery. Right now there's a package from an insurance co. "out there, somewhere". Waiting for it to show up, cuz I'm really curious to see what it is. Don't know the company...didn't request any kind of new insurance, etc.
Pretty sure the temp will warm quickly, and be steamy as well. I think we're in for another 90 degree day.
Hope you both have a good day. Glad you were able to get your handicap sticker Roger! Nice to have if you need it. I've seen so many people misuse them. lIke the guy who would come to the gym...park in the nearest handi spot, with handi sticker and then come in walk on the TM, use machines, etc...one day I just couldn't stop myself from asking why he thought he needed a handi sticker, and how did he even get it??? He would drive his wife's car, SHE was the handicapped one..he was just a jerk.
Ed, saw the pix of the two cats sleeping together! That's exactly what Tom E. needs! He was fine until he was the lone cat. Hope you can beat the crowds at Kroger this morning. Don't know about you Kroger, but it doesn't pay to go too early to mine, as a lot of the produce has not been put out. Which frustrates me, cuz primarily that's what I buy!!

I made it out to Kroger and it wasn't too bad.

Another hot day in paradise for both of You
Yesterday and Today the predicted high are 70 to 72 degrees. Tomorrow starts a stretch of 80s with overnight lows in the upper 60s so it could be worse for us.
Your first of the month money posted Monday and my Pension check arrived in the mail around 3:30 PM to late to run to the bank. Today my to do list is simple. Bank, Post Office, Call NS and see if they can suspend the account since I will not be able to handle the delivery weight for 2 plus months or I'll have to cancel.
Hint Drive don't run to Krogers
I have been know to eat dinner for breakfast and a breakfast for lunch or dinner. I do not feel the need to hew to the convention that the only meal for breakfast is breakfast food.
Eating out could help avoid getting tired of eating the same thing for several meals in a row, OTOH I could eat Cheeseburgers and fries or pizza all week long, so...
I'm starting to watch this but I have a good idea of what ones to avoid. I like Grape Nuts, so crunchy. It looks like I should not re-buy the Shredded Wheat once I finish it. I tried the Alpen Muesli, pass. CheeriosHUGE Cereal Haul - What Cereals To Buy & Avoid At the Grocery Store! Most of the cereals he showed I do not recall seeing on the shelves, Non sweetened seem to be on the wane.
BTW Puffed Rice and Puffed Wheat seems to have disappeared from the cereal aisle here.
it would appear that the reality is a 50 pound stack of pancakes not a 5o pound pancake.I Made Giant 50-Pound Pancakes For The Try Guys
The cooking took a long time and I suspect that the pancakes were cold by the time they were served as they were cooked one at a time. I base that in part due to the butter not melting

Howdy all y'all. It's terrific Tuesday! Another pretty warm one with no chance of rain. Today I intend to get out and purchase the rest of the list, along with watering some things, and getting the garbage and recycles to the curb for tomorrow's pickup.

He's making them vegan but I'm sure similar REAL burgers could be done.

Hi..7 pm news is starting...boy I'm really late...and I still need to go to the gym.....egads!
Intown visit with chiro, lunch with Ted, then we decided since the temps were low, and the humidity even lower to go to the Botanical Gardens...I was about 10 minutes from home when Jack called...(its Tues). So, talked to him til 5:30...fixed some dinner as I was really hungry...now I"ve eaten, want to watch the news and then hit the gym. Quick work out..30-35 minutes cardio..then I should run by Publix pick up a lottery ticket and then home! I'll sleep well tonite..already tired.
Roger, besides not being able to walk, (which must be tough for you considering all the steps you've put in over the last several years), how are you feeling? And do you have a date for surgery? I'm so glad you have your brother to help you thru all of this.
I'm sure Tom E. is lonely...I'm just not a cat, a point he drives home on occasion. Like ignoring me, or hopping up and leaving the porch, etc. I dunno!!!
Gotta get moving...need to get into my gym clothes for starts.

There is a chance of spotty rain showers in the area and a forecast high of 86 to 87 depending on the weatherman.
Back to Krogers or ?
As I may have mentioned previously our every two weeks recycle pickup is on a different day than the Garbage pickup as well as being a different day from the Yard waste pickup. I do not know if it is the same where You are but all the recycle can co-mingled and is dumped into the same place in the garbage truck on pickup day. From there I believe it goes to a sorting facility.
I need to call NS and ask them to suspend the account for two or three months since I will have a 5 to 10 pound weight lifting restriction. That may be a problem since I already delayed it to July for the same reason and if they say no then I have no choice but to cancel and ask how long before I can take advantage of new customer offers.
The Vegan Egg and Impossible Burger looked real to me. I Tend to throw away any buns so the bun made from Ramen is a non starter for me. Pass on the PB BurgerHe's making them vegan but I'm sure similar REAL burgers could be done.
making 3 burgers I've never tried before
3rd burger used Whole Foods Crispy Onions. Since he had forgotten the bacon on the PB burger why not add it to the third burger which was looking to raw in the middle for me to eat.
I was wondering what they would be eating, Gingerbread ManKids Try Food From Fairy Tales Dried Persimmon does not ring a bell. What Kid wouldn't like a candy house.
I have not heard of some of the foods that were served
About the only one I have had would be the Ruffles and even then the plain potato ones.Americans & Germans Swap Snacks
Since Cashews make me itch I think I'll pass on trying this recipe as shownVegan Mozzarella | Vegan Cheese
I could make the sandwich using real Mozzarella OTOH
I wonder if I have been missing a tasty food by not trying hummus ?Perfect Hummus 3 Ways
Have a Good Day

Wow, You had good weather for a change
I hope the lottery ticket wins for You.
I do have a date for the surgery, First thing is Pre admission testing next week. More details tomorrow once I have had a chance to think about details. Not to mention I have no idea if the testing could be a problem.
I miss not getting out as You guessed.
I am feeling somewhat weak as in no endurance.
Have a Nice Day

Howdy all y'all. It's wonderful Wednesday! Yesterday I went to the pet store for kitty litter, then Publix (in the same shopping center, but part of the other building, around a corner) for a few items, and a quick stop at Aldi on the way home. I never got more than a mile from home! I had a lot fewer items, but the weight of the kitty litter more than made up the difference on bringing things in. I also didn't spend nearly as much, but still more, in my opinion, than the stuff should have cost. I picked up lunch while in Publix.
Today is supposed to be fairly nice, albeit a bit warm. I need to do some more watering, and really should try to get a head start on some cleaning, and maybe some laundry, On the other hand, as Scarlett supposedly said, tomorrow is another day!

Hi
Currently It is 71 degrees outside. The predicted high for today is for the 80s
I have Pre admission testing on the 11th and surgery is scheduled for the 21st. What seems strange to me is that I will be called on the 20th and given a time and location for the surgery.
On the weird news items this one is included

You had a busy day IMO. I do have to wonder if the Kitty Litter would have been cheaper at CostCo. Speaking of CostCo I was checking the Paper Goods supply and we have plenty of Paper Towels and Kleenex and only one 6 roll pack of TP left. To me that means a early before they open trip to pick up up a case of TP there.
Today's To Do list, Call NS and see about a extra 2 or 3 month delay, resign as moderator or see about Emeritus status at a forum and drop off the keys while they are open and the car later on at the Car repair facility we use. The car is due for its every 2 year inspection, an oil change based on time not mileage, Lube the driver door hinges, Fix the Drivers side window switch (Change ?) and repair the speed control on the fan, the lower three speeds have died

Hello Valerie0 -
Howdy all y'all. It's thrilling Thursday! Cooler today and we have already had a few drops of rain, with more expected. But maybe I should go out to a store and give Mother Nature a chance to soak me, just to be sure.
I made bolognese pasta sauce last night and served it with rotini made entirely from red lentils. That was supper, and then breakfast this morning was more of the same, as will be at least two more meals. With that sauce, I really couldn't tell that the rotini was different than regular wheat pasta. It was fun trying it out and I may buy more sometime. It has more protein than wheat pasta and, being lentils, presumably better carbs.

Hi! I'm here!
I should have taken notes...lots of stuff there to open discussion!
The call night before surgery to learn Time and Where is indeed odd Roger. Never heard of that. But I guess you have many more hospitals/OR's than many of the places I've lived. Still, just odd.
Ostrich huh? Probably not any better or worse than what we have now, right? I was happy to see some articles lately about chicken not any better than beef health wise. Wasn't always that way. Wonder how it compares to rare duck breast?? That is/er, was sooo good!!!
I didn't watch Emmy...can't wait to see what those cookies? bars? are!
Ed, I tried...after gym, about noon, I came home and ate my lunch so I wouldn't buy EVERYTHING at Kroger. And I stayed dry. Didn't get the 3-5 a.m. rain, not the later morning rain, and none of the afternoon rain either! I've even washed the car.... I think my 'rain maker' powers are waning! It was nice as far as temps went. I think tomorrow may be a yard morning. (we'll see if that tempts old Mother Nature!) ???
Hockey game to watch in half an hour. (I failed miserably, and forgot to watch the game Monday...must be getting old).
While at Kroger I picked up a package of vegetable sushi. Saving that for while I watch the game tonite. My Kroger has some really good sushi...Publix on the other hand is a total FAIL. Has some weird taste..like its not even close to fresh. Fortunately no sea food, or such involved..just carrot, cucumber, avocado, etc. I really like it...and it makes a decent dinner or lunch for just under $6.
That gif of the 'bubble' people running around and colliding and falling...always looked like safe fun...but I've read otherwise. Still....
The whisking...I always 'did' a combo depending on what I was whisking...but I have noticed that Ted does the back and forth motion (like the one what 'won'). Guess he picked that up from his years of working in restaurant kitchens. I know he learned to make some great pies, and killer chocolate chip cookies!!! I had to ask him to please stop making them every time I was coming to his apartment. They smelled sooo good. Not much is better than coming out of the oven chocolate chip cookies!!! And Ted can't smell. Sad!
Ok, game time is approaching...
Later...0
