Hi Folks,
No, I didn't drop off the face of the earth again...just finished up grading, followed (sadly) by the unexpected death of my sister's significant other. Went to MA to visit and attend the funeral. I know she'll be "okay," but I want her to (eventually) be better than okay. She is alone up in MA...
Having walking issues in my back. I think the piriformis muscle is causing issues leading to serious sciatic pain. The treatment? NSAIDs (ibuprofen, etc.), of course, and rest. When I got up today and told my husband I was taking an AM then a later PM walk, his question was that he thought I was going to rest to let things calm down. As it is, I already feel a bit..."fluffy" and I don't want to rest, but the back is really painful. It is a toss up. Will try looking at the local gym today to see how much to join. They have swimming pools for laps, which I used to enjoy.
Catch up later,
Lee-Ann

Good Morning! TGIF ED!!!
Looking to breakfast...cats of course fed...and then a trip to ATL for my badly needed hair cut! It will be so nice to have my head under control, instead of the current 'newly hatched chick' look I now have upon rising!!!
I, Ed, didn't get enough rain yesterday to wet my driveway. Bummed, and will have to water at least the new grass when I get home today. I really was counting on that rain to water in the fertilizer I'd put around the rose bushes....gardeners, long suffering, never satisfied, always busy people!
LeeAnn.....you let that back rest, so said the 'group elder'! I'd tell you to find a good chiropractor who can help with the healing so that it doesn't take so long and will get you back on the walking schedule sooner.... But...since I doubt you're going to go that route, how about a good massage therapist? No real point in suffering and missing out on your walking routine...it can be fixed.
Roger, hope your walk today was fun or interesting, or financially lucrative!! Right now its wonderfully cool, with a nice gentle breeze here...would be perfect day for a walk.

Hi
Friday the 13th, Whee!
Anybody with Triskaidekaphobia?
Anybody remember a Movie called "Saturday the 14th"?
The weather outside was in the high 50s when I left the house, No sunshine today, There is rain in the forecast for later. We planted some Tomatoes, Peppers and a second Fig tree Wednesday and a Oregano & Sage plant along with some Basil Seeds Yesterday, I did water them however today's rain will hopefully water them in more thoroughly.
Yesterday we had a high of 80 and the living room got warm enough that I turned on the Wall AC to cool it down
Enjoy the End of the Work Week and have a Great Friday

Last to the party, and will be quite brief, as I was contemplating starting lunch (salad with mixed beans as protein), and I realized that I did NOT eat breakfast. The Heat & Air folks were scheduled to come out between 8-10....and he called about 10 to eight, and said he was on his way....so, moved the car out for easier access to the furnace, and after he left just before 10, I decided to blow the accumulated 'stuff' out of the garage, and that let to the driveway, etc....so somehow I didn't miss eating until I came in and sat down.
I guess I'll forgo breakfast, and just plow right into lunch??? LOL!!
Only other scheduled 'bothers', a trip to the gym, and start working on this weeks vid's for Global Health. Nice!!
Oh, and DS1's beloved St. Louis Blues won their game 7 of the playoffs with the Stars, I listened to the game...it was very lopsided...6-1 Blues....so they're off to the conference hockey playoffs, and that team is to be determined tonite.....hmmmm. I know Jack was a happy camper. Being from St. Louis, I have no trouble becoming a Blues fan for a few weeks. Would rather Philly be in the games, but....
To the kitchen.....
Later...
Hi Valerie
I think if I missed breakfast I would either not bother or just shift all my meals by the time offset when I did eat Breakfast.
It sounds as if You had a busy day too.
Was it a Heating/AC repair or just maintenance?
Have a Good Day

Hi Edparityanimal wrote: »Howdy y'all. It's fabulous Friday! No rain scheduled for today, so it should be nice, but too hot.
I do have to account for what I bring back to the store, but I just enter it into the computer as returned to the store for either 1) excess inventory, 2) expired "sell by" date" and then bring it back in. Expired, of course, does not go back on the shelf.
Off to the rat mines!
I wish I could say no rain, Or maybe not as then I would have to water in the garden
Around here when something gets to be near it's Sell By date or is just to much in stock it gets reduced and place in a special location reserved for that sort of item. Things like Yesterdays Pre-Made Sandwiches and due to expire today go at 50% off and are still quite edible and at that price a decent bargain, a few things get marked at 30% to 40% off and much surplus and Dented cans go at 50% off
Have a great Dry Friday the 13th

Ok, just lost my post...grrrr.
Home from hair and gym. Need to start watering the spring planted grass...
FYI
There is a very big recall of FROZEN (mostly) VEGETABLES. The URL is simply fda.gov, which as best I can tell takes you to the home page...from there its:
Home > Safety> Recalls > Market Withdrawals, & Safety Alerts
Listeria is the 'bad guy'...there are 42 separate Brands listed.... might be worth looking thru the list...and its long. Things sold at many outlets, and includes Costco, Trader Joe's, etc. I know some of us shop these stores...
( saw this mentioned on news sometime this week...but when my email came today from the FDA and I saw the many brands, and various veggies and fruits I was really surprised)

Howdy y'all. It's sensational Saturday! Been up for a while but distracted by the internet. LOL.

Lazy day today.....going to fix breakfast. Cats ate 2 hours ago...like Ed, I've been distracted by internet....and there is more on the way...like I have access to all the speakers at the Food Summit if I want to hear them again, and that 'Global' class is still 'wanting'....
Only real chore is grass cutting...yep, thats IT!!!

Hi
I did some walking + 1 cent, Mailed off a payment, Went to the Bank for money, Staples for My brothers ink cartridges, Walmart for a second belt, CostCo for Frozen Bulk vegetables and all three types of Paper Goods, and The Acme Grocery Store for some frozen that is on sale to use for Dinner. I am now home and at 10,700 Steps so far and it isn't even Noon
The Weather is heating up outside, the Living Room is up to 74 degrees already.
Have a Great Weekend

Hi Valerie
I looked and did not see the frozen Costco items I but listed. I am thinking that since I bought them today they should be safe or they would have been recalled? Thank You for the heads Up.
I wonder if the lost post(s) are related to the upcoming later today Forum Downtime/
Have a Nice Weekend

Roger, any food you bought TODAY should be safe. The affected frozen SHOULD have been removed by the seller (Costco, Trader Joe, etc)...I think it was Tues or Wed that I first saw the recall, but had no idea how massive it was. I got my email from FDA on Friday....that said, these products had expiration/best by/use by dates from this month thru 2018! The call us yours....probably safe to eat...easily looked up and avoided if necessary.
Also I didn't think about the site maintenance....even with your reminder. Sorry, I was half asleep first (non existent) post. Hadn't even come close to the bottom of my coffee cup.
Ok, out to cut the grass....
Have a great weekend. (PS we're being hit by back to back 'cold' fronts...high today will be 80, but not there yet... and morning temps on Sunday??? upper 40's!!! Wowza what the heck happened? )0 -

Good morning all!
Ed your idea of Spring and Summer having a grudge match brightened my morning! So very true! On my back porch, the morning low was 50. So we really didn't quite get into the predicted 40's, at least not at my house. I'm sure it was much colder in the mountains, and maybe even in the northern part of Gwinnett where DS1 lives.
You made a mental list of what needed to be done...I did or started quite a bit of my planned indoor list...emptied dishwasher, started load of clothes, fed cats, ran the sweeper...took out the trash. And cleaned up my email inbox. Whew! I need that cup of coffee. Breakfast and a shower, and I'm off...need to stop at Home Depot, walk past, do not stop, in garden area, find a hose clamp...AC guy pointed out that the house ground wire was not attached to the ground post!!! OMG! So, will fix that today, but need the clamp. Then I need to make a quick Kroger run for salad green stuff, and potatoes, and a lemon or two. I could use a run to Whole Foods, but may put that off, so I can be outside and do several overdue chores. Bush at the front sidewalk needs serious clipping, (alternative....new sidewalk
I have a pot and the potting soil, and the geraniums...just need to introduce them!, have a bale of pine straw to put down in the rose bed, and would like to cut back an azalea at the front of the house. (Am I tired yet?)
Soooo my friends...I am off to work on my busy day.

Hi
I was feeling a bit chilly whenever the breeze blew and fine the rest of the time, That makes it hard to dress for comfort 7,200 steps FWIW.
So far it is a sunny Sunday outside with a few clouds in the sky.

Hi Valerie
I had used up all of those CostCo Frozen veges a couple of weeks ago and have been using bags of ShopRite Frozen Veges until i got out to CostCo. Yesterday I was in a newish CostCo for the first time as I passed it on my longish loop. I thought about it and said to myself why go past that one, past the house just to go to the other one

It was 48 in a nearby town on the Local Cable News Station when I checked it before I went walking.

If You are being distracted by the same thing as happens to me then that would be the Internet I had meant to do some other things on the computer yesterday and never got past the Internet.

Confession...for years I had a very small little clipper, fit in a pocket of my purse....and I had it just for the reason you mentioned Roger....then one sad, sad day as I was going thru security here in ATL, they made me give them up. Those little guys had been thru security at least 5 times....
I've never been able to find another pair that short handled and small bladed. Oh, well...may be good luck...better to give up little clippers than go to jail for stealing a snippet of a plant!!!

Hi Folks,
I know...evening (night), not early morning. Will have to get up early to exercise anyway. Not sure if I mentioned...a new one for me..."piriformis syndrome." I think I have it and it is painful. Causes sciatic pain but not from the nerve root. It is caused by spasming or inflammation of the piriformis muscle which rests just over the sciatic nerve, and is exacerbated by walking (my current favorite exercise). So I am going to try - key word is "try" - going back to P90x. Tony Horton has great exercises, if only I can stick with them this time. But very limited walking...not happy...
And where is the sun? Who stole it again??
Lee-Ann0 -
Howdy y'all. It's marvelous Monday! Supposed to be a pretty nice day here. Some chance of rain tonight.

Good Morning From GA....in the Ukraine!
Ok, 46 isn't exactly THAT cold, but cats were wearing their fur coats this morning! LOL!!!
Nice today, and then they're worrying us with this promise of rain again thru SUNDAY...honestly people can't we just have a regular old fashioned spring?
LeeAnn, I'm so sorry someone with an evil heart has stolen your sun again! That's just not right! I so hate it when its overcast for days on end. We get a lot of that in the winter. So gloomy and uninspiring.
Today, gym...laundry's done except for the bed linens, and I'll get my house all nicely grounded again. I got the clamps yesterday, have them and the sandpaper laying out. Should be a fairly simple fix. I may be on the disabled list with LeeAnn because its going to put this old body in a fairly unfamiliar position. Have to deal with the house, the AC condenser, and the lines to the condenser...picture Valerie as a pretzel... When Antonio looked at it the other evening Roger he told me to use the sandpaper because there was paint on the wire...he didn't tell me to sandpaper the ground pole...which looks all silvery and clean, but I will do it anyhow, since you mentioned it. Thanks!
I also have ONE planter to plant today...I'd gotten the geraniums, but needed some other kind of filler...was going to go with something 'drape-y', but saw small plants of rosemary and lavender! Eureka! Nestle them down in the pot, and instant herbs for my cooking adventures.
Finished my class work last night in time to listen to the St. Louis Blues beat the San Jose Sharks! Blues won! Both my boys were also listening, so there was some interesting texting going on too!

Hi Valerie
It seems the cold is everywhere today
This is just an opinion, However it seems that security is obsessing over the little things and letting big things leak through.
I remember years ago in St, Louis going through security where I handed the screener my Bucket of Popcorn while I put everything else through the Screening device. They just carried it around the thing and gave it back, Who knows what could have been in there if I had been a bad guy
Herbs are a popular Potted item for kitchens these days, Everyone wants as fresh as they can get.
Have a Good Day

Good Soggy Morning!
AHHHHH, much needed Rain! (Sorry Ed).
I woke to it, it looks like its here to stay until about 1pm, so says the Weather folks. Hmmm.
I rather hope so. I have things to do outside the home today...like gas for the car, script at Costco, and maybe grocery shopping maybe.
Lunch tomorrow with my niece, would be easier it I shopped today....we'll see.
Cats are fed, but not happy...wet fur came bounding in the door while I was trying to put food out the door...and they meant to stay! NOPE!
Glad I got the things done yesterday that I did get done, there won't be any outdoor chores today!! But the plants will be happier.
Gym with Olivia tonite. Should do it for today.

Hi
With the weather forecast for rain starting later today into tomorrow I decided to pick up my fruit today while the weather is good + 9200 steps. I picked up 4 apples, 3 Jazz and 1 granny Smith, As well as 3 Yogurts at 3 for $1.99, A new brand to me so if I like them I can pick up more Thursday
it was in the 50s when I started out with no discernible breeze.
I went to listen to a "Richard Diamond" Radio Show while walking, It turned out to be a episode of "The Green Hornet" radio show. Enjoyable too.
BTW many of the Richard Diamond shows were written by Blake Edwards of the Pink Pather Movie Series.
Have a Good Tuesday

Hi Valerie
It is not just a Acme food, it is in all the grocery stores in this area and on the breakfast menu in the Diners.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pork_roll
John Taylor is credited with creating his secret recipe for the product in 1856. George Washington Case, a farmer and butcher from nearby Belle Mead, New Jersey, created his own recipe for pork roll in 1870. Case's was reportedly packaged in corn husks.[3]
Taylor originally called his product "Taylor's Prepared Ham",[4] but was forced to change the name after it failed to meet the new legal definition of "ham" established by the Pure Food and Drug Act of 1906. Marketed as both "Taylor's Pork Roll" and "Trenton Pork Roll", it saw competition from products with similar names like "Rolled Pork" and "Trenton style Pork Roll". When their makers were sued by Taylor a 1910 legal case ruled that the words "Pork Roll" could not be trademarked.[4] In North Jersey, residents continue to use the term Taylor Ham, while South Jersey residents generally use the term "pork roll", with Central Jersey residents using a mix of the two

Howdy y'all. It's wonderful Wednesday already. Supposed to get to 80 today with 20% chance of rain. That's not too bad. Lilo has been fed, I've been fed, and it's TAG DAY again. Hopefully not too much outside tagging.

Good Morning!
64 when I woke about 40 minuets ago, and already 66. Warming up nicely with lots of sunshine! Its going to be a different day than I'd anticipated, but a good day! My nieces children are still sick, so our lunch has moved to Monday. Which frees up a good chunk of time...and I know just how to use it! Yep, I'll get some pine straw down, finally, and a few other quick chores....gonna be a great day!
Ed should have a good day for tagging..as its comfy outdoors right now, and will probably not make 80 til late afternoon...clear skies... nice!!
Roger, I haven't seen the news this morning, so I hope you're drying out and having a good walk. Cleaned (threw away some junk) on one corner of a shelf in the garage the other day and found 2 pennies...wondered if I could count that as 'found money' !!LOL! I did find a penny last week on a parking lot...forgot to tell.
Ok, need to get myself together, the coffee cup is empty, the hibiscus tea is steeped and cooling, cats are fed...must be time to make some breakfast!
BTW, I made a killer tofu scramble yesterday. My first few attempts were 'ok', but this last batch was great! Had some for dinner after Olivia's gymnastics, and have enough for tonite as well. I'm going to next try to perfect Portabella Mushrooms as the meat sub for fajita's. I suspect I'm going to want a marinade, which may hold the key. I love seitan, but trying to distance myself from it! Last week I made a really good ground meat sub with lentils and walnuts ground in the food processor...its got the texture, and the seasonings make the 'meat' taste like whatever you want it to be.
For this meal...its oatmeal time!
LeeAnn, how's the hip coming along? Not so painful I hope. I know this is simplistic, but for me when my knees were 'screaming', a nice soak in the tub with a healthy dose of Epsom Salts helped. Sometimes we forget these old fashioned 'remedy/aids' that grandma's or mom's taught us...I know I do/did. Anyhow, just hoping you're feeling less pain and can get around with ease. Take care.

Yesterdays rain was a fizzle in my area, at some point in the afternoon it rained just enough to get the street wet except under the trees where it stayed dry.
The temperature outside was OK while walking, 7900 steps.
Have a Good Wednesday
Roger

Off to the salt races!
I would be unhappy if I was getting 80 degree weather already.
Hopefully that problematic AC is working well this year.
Enjoy Your tag day, hopefully a light easy one.

64 when I woke about 40 minuets ago, and already 66. Warming up nicely with lots of sunshine! Its going to be a different day than I'd anticipated, but a good day! My nieces children are still sick, so our lunch has moved to Monday. Which frees up a good chunk of time...and I know just how to use it! Yep, I'll get some pine straw down, finally, and a few other quick chores....gonna be a great day!
Ed should have a good day for tagging..as its comfy outdoors right now, and will probably not make 80 til late afternoon...clear skies... nice!!
Roger, I haven't seen the news this morning, so I hope you're drying out and having a good walk. Cleaned (threw away some junk) on one corner of a shelf in the garage the other day and found 2 pennies...wondered if I could count that as 'found money' !!LOL! I did find a penny last week on a parking lot...forgot to tell.
Ok, need to get myself together, the coffee cup is empty, the hibiscus tea is steeped and cooling, cats are fed...must be time to make some breakfast!
BTW, I made a killer tofu scramble yesterday. My first few attempts were 'ok', but this last batch was great! Had some for dinner after Olivia's gymnastics, and have enough for tonite as well. I'm going to next try to perfect Portabella Mushrooms as the meat sub for fajita's. I suspect I'm going to want a marinade, which may hold the key. I love seitan, but trying to distance myself from it! Last week I made a really good ground meat sub with lentils and walnuts ground in the food processor...its got the texture, and the seasonings make the 'meat' taste like whatever you want it to be.
For this meal...its oatmeal time!
LeeAnn, how's the hip coming along? Not so painful I hope. I know this is simplistic, but for me when my knees were 'screaming', a nice soak in the tub with a healthy dose of Epsom Salts helped. Sometimes we forget these old fashioned 'remedy/aids' that grandma's or mom's taught us...I know I do/did. Anyhow, just hoping you're feeling less pain and can get around with ease. Take care.
Later...
Hi Valerie
I hope Nieces children get better quickly.
Tofu Scramble? To me anything scrambled includes eggs.
I suspect there are plenty of recipes to use Portabella mushrooms. I have also seen the large ones used on TV as a Bun for a sandwich.
The news today was talking about a report saying GMO / GEO is OK. I'm not sure I agree. They also said both sides are calling the report a win, since it says GMO is safe and the other side is saying that since the report indicates crop yields are the same, why bother.
Just curious, what is Your view on Soy protein? FWIW my brother thinks it is a bad idea. I'm not sure how he gets to that point of view as Soy beans have been used in food for a long time.
Enjoy the Oatmeal

MMMMMM! Roger, my 'scramble' is delicious! green and red peppers, onion, sometimes black olives, etc...turmeric, dry mustard, salt & pepper...mushrooms, etc..... you have to make it 'your own', crumble the drained block of tofu to your liking. Veggies get sautéed a bit to soften them, then I add in the tofu, which has the spices mixed in and become a pretty yellow color, and let them sorta get acquainted with low heat for a few minutes....nice protein, tastes good, etc.
I don't have an issue with whole soy. Its been shown to actually have many benefits all the way down to the cellular level, its the soy protein isolates that are the bad guys. Like most foods...the whole food is terrific, but when you start processing the holy heck out of it the result is not good. If you want specifics I can send you links to scientific published articles. At one time there was a lot of talk about soy only being good for you if it was fermented, but that has been disproved. If you can find a physician who has nutritional training (nearly unheard of), they tell cancer patients to eliminate meat and use soy. (as well as not using dairy, and a few other things ). Problem is med schools do not teach nutrition. Sad, huh?
Gotta go... I missed lunch today, and its now the time I'd normally be eating dinner...
Later...
