Special delivery! Democrats procure flags for convention stage after embarrassing oversight leaves Old Glory missing from Monday night's festivitieshttp://www.wtae.com/national/all-4-wheels-fall-off-after-brake-job/39581986
All 4 wheels fall off after brake job
Visit to California Jiffy Lube results in some problems

Israel to display ancient mummy with modern-day afflictions0 -
Trump stole the flag from the convention floor....LOL!!! Democrats don't forget.
You know if all 4 wheels fell off a car, it would do a LOT of damage besides the wheels. Wonder if there's a follow up to that story? Sad. Just plain Sad.
Now, it will be interesting to see what diseases the mummy had.
Spent $48 bucks at Kroger...saved $9 from being old, and buying stuff on sale! Have a couple things to pick up at Publix...yes, spinach! But I got beautiful organic swiss chard, kale, and bok choi. I also need an English cuke...I must have walked right past them...and if my body holds up, I'd like to run to Whole Food for some seitan, and one or two entrees that THEY cooked!
Since I have next to nothing to pick up I should be able to do that. (I'd sure hope!)

Howdy y'all. It's thrilling Thursday! 92 and 20% today. Sound familiar?
Mother in law and cousin in law are still here. Got up from nap last night feeling rather disgruntled to find the kitchen table full of people talking and doing puzzles. I had planned to make shepherds pie last night but just had a sandwich and some chips, fed the sugar gliders and went to bed for the night, leaving them all planning a Chinese carryout or delivery order, destined to have so many leftovers the refrigerator is overstuffed this morning. When J asked if I wanted anything for "tomorrow" (meaning today) I knew perfectly well that I wouldn't and there wouldn't really be room for anything else anyway.
Got up this morning, tossed a pile of fortune cookies and some condiments (left on the table) into the trash and made breakfast for Lilo and then for me. This was at the third or fourth night that cousin in law stayed up all night and was still in the living room when I got up. We don't interact at that hour but it disturbs me when ANYONE is up and active during my ME-ALONE-ALL ME AND NO ONE ELSE time first thing in the morning, whether we interact or not.
As usual she went to bed in the middle of my getting my breakfast together, as if finally noticing how late/early it had become.
You know what they say about fish and guests...
Off to the salt races...

Hi
I ended up with 10.3k steps yesterday, So far today I am at 7025 steps Around 10AM I will be heading out to the doctors for the follow up visit and to see if that X-ray showed anything.
Wish me luck, It was 77 degrees at 6AM and humid. So far the plan is to walk there anyway and probably pick up a Decaf on the way home with a little ice in it to make it drinkable right away. I will adjust the route to the doctor to as short as possible or take a longer route based on how it feels when I get out the door. Tomorrow may be a different story according to the weather forecast.
According to my brother who went out and cleaned his AC filter while I was walking he needed a large blade to cut his way to the picnic table it was so humid His words were, I looked like one of the Three Musketeers waving my long blade.
Have a Great Thursday

Hi Valerie
In some ways the Old days were not that good, poor medical care and short lives. Imagine being old at 30 to 40 years of age.
Nothing wrong with buying sale items if You use them anyway nor with buying things near the end of their shelf life if You use them promptly. My Brother buys a lot of his meat that way, when it is that way they mark it down to 1/2 price.
Have a Nice Day

I'm finally getting a little "ME!" time. Everyone else, including room mate D, has gone downtown to see the capital building, and will be having dinner out. I will probably be asleep before they get home. I declined the journey as it wasn't at all likely they'd be back in time for me to get as much sleep as I'd like to get.
Instead, I'm enjoying being alone.
Tonight’s dinner: Baked pork chops with lightly buttered, steamed green beans.
Wine of choice: 2014 La Combe Rouge, PAYS D’OC (as opposed to the much lesser known WHATS UP D’OC?), a nice, fairly dry red table wine from France.

Howdy y'all. It's fabulous Friday! Last I looked, cousin D was still in the living room watching some movie. I don't hear anything right now, so maybe she went to bed...J was still up when I got up too. We're supposed to go cabin camping this weekend and if he thinks I'm driving, he's got another think coming. I intend to nap in his vehicle on the way.
Especially disgruntled this morning as J insisted on actually TALKING TO ME at this ungodly hour. I get up this early to give myself plenty of time to WAKE UP ON MY OWN and then get on to work. I have no desire to see anyone or interact with anyone...until I get to work.
Only supposed to be 89 degrees today with 40% chance of rain. I like the temperature prediction!
Off to the rat mines.

Hi
I reached just over 12K steps Yesterday with the secondary walk to the Doctors when I got out of the house at 10:10, It was hot enough to be somewhat uncomfortable and more so on the return trip as it was warmer and I made a stop at the Produce store for a Head of Lettuce for me and Celery for my Brother, He also wanted Pine Nuts for his Pesto, They sold out until sometime today. He ended up going to the Grocery store and buying them as everything else was ready. The Grocery Store was more expensive too.
I Went for a walk today despite the rain, I managed to get to 7K steps despite that. The rain was light heading out and as it worked out harder just after the furthest point in the walk and some wind picked up too.
Here are some Tennessee Ernie Ford songs, I was listening to music today since I finished the Old time radio show I was listening to.

Here is a link to a playlist of some songs by him.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4BtYlrWDVoA&list=PL86F0405C271BD5BB
The doctor visit went well, I walked there FWIW. Blood report and X-ray results:
Cholesterol good, Blood Sugar good, Blood Pressure Good, Everything was in the normal range. The PSA was good too, Something I believe You do not have to worry about
The X-ray showed no Problems.
Have a Nice Friday

Me time is important
Baked Pork Chops sounds delicious too, Did You bread them first. FWIW I think I would bake them on a rack to let some of the fat drip off.

Before I head out the door walking I stick my head up the stairs and let my Brother know as he likes to know, Just in case. I want to get going and he wants to stand there chatting I need my Coffee before I feel sociable. I saw some other hardy souls walking in the rain with Bumbershoots AKA Umbrellas while walking and of course I also saw the one fellow that I always see jogging when I head in that direction. We have chatted in the past, Today he was on the other side of a busy road so no talk just a wave Hi.

Hi!
Thursday was a great day to be in the North GA Mountains...it was 75 degrees and wonderful breeze! Peaches are delicious! Wasn't home until almost 9 last night...trash out, cats fed, cereal 'inhaled', and I was in bed...happy, and tired!
Today...up and out...Hair cut and curl in ATL...home and a nap!
DS2 coming out to visit tomorrow, DS1 will be coming home from Hilton Head. I think there was at least a shower while I napped...driveway was wet, as was one of the cats when he came to dinner. The other cat was dry as a bone...guess I know who'd been in the hen house!
Shortly off to bed, and should have my energy back by tomorrow.
Later...

Howdy y'all. It's sensational Saturday! 95 predicted for the high with 20% chance of rain. We got in to the campground a bit later than planned because my CSA box was a bit later than usual in arriving. But get here we did, and met friends for pizza in their cabin. Breakfast planned for 9:00 so you know I've already had some food. I can't wait THAT late comfortably. But I brought shelf stable snacks, so I've had some mandarin oranges (in a small sealed plastic bowl, packed in water), one can of Vienna sausages (OK, not the best food to have, but it's FOOD) and some pretzel cheese sauce dippers. Breakfast later is supposed to be bacon and eggs and juice, toast and/or pastries (which I'll definitely skip on the pastries)...I may have a bite of bacon and eggs and maybe a sip of juice, but not too much. Concentrated carbs in juice you know.
As their cabin is a bit of a walk from our cabin, down the trail past the pool (where we spent some quality time last night) we are getting our exercise while here!
Time to try to get J moving as he takes a while to get going in the mornings sometimes.
No salt races or rat mines!

Hi
I managed 8500+ steps yesterday, That's what I get for getting out in the rain and not waiting for it to end, today 8643 steps already.
I did a quick look at the garden, evidently the other 5 Raspberries that had no fruit are really late fruiting, They have small Berries now and the other 5 are already done producing
75 degrees out the door and Rain in the forecast for later today moving in from the West across NJ.
While I was out I was listening to some Petula Clark that I captured from a LP, I paid a Giant 49cents for years ago still sealed, This is one of the Songs:

DS2 coming out here is a bit to frame two prints I have for my kitchen. Prints of what? Vegetables of course!
That said, enjoying my cup of coffee, and soon to get my breakfast going.

Hi Valerie
Vegetable Prints, Hmmm....
Evidently She is Bilingual
Nope Not Your hearing, Just my like for the slightly offbeat
FWIW My brother was out to PA. and picked up lots of goodies, fresh off the plant Sweet Corn and Cantaloupes. He did not beat the rain back and You should have heard him complaining about the (*&_^ drivers that can not drive in the rain such as the ones going 10 MPH under the limit and the Chrysler 300 that kept would get up to a blazing 45 MPH and then drift back down to 40MPH and pick back up. So of course he got trapped behind it with a line of cars going 65+ MPH in the left lane. The Fruit smells so good too, unlike what they sell in the Grocery Store and Produce Store here in town.
Have a Good Saturday, What's left of it

Vintage prints from the 1800's Paris, France. Beautiful color drawings of old varieties of vegetables, and each has a fruit or two in the mix. Really pretty. They're framed in flat black frames and look great where we hung them. These prints were 'rescued' from a pile that was destined for the trash dumpster. I also have old prints of flowers, but I really liked the veggie ones.
Those vegetables and fruits are going to taste soooo good! I know about the rain, and drivers...you just have to pop a piece of gum in your mouth, and find something on the radio, remind yourself that the object of the adventure it to 'arrive alive'.. No point in being upset, cuz its not going to make the situation any better. Or he could have pulled off the road at the first diner or fast food place and spent some time off road till he 'cooled down' himself!
Maybe the cantaloupe he has for breakfast or the corn for dinner will help!

Hi
I managed 10,800+ steps yesterday, Today I am currently at 6223 steps + 1.5 cents, I found a beat up 1/2 of a penny in the street I was out the door at the usual time too. It must be very humid as I have been out in this temperature before and I never sweated like I did today. 75 degrees out the door and Rain in the forecast for later today moving in from the West across NJ. Saturday the skies opened up for a while and then a steady soaking rain. nearby towns were in the 2.5" to 3.8" range for rain, other areas were higher or lower
No need to go watering the plants for a couple of days either.
I ran across this message thread yesterday:
http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10428180/halo-top-iced-cream
and went to where You can buy online, They also sell other brands on this site FWIW.
http://icecreamsource.com/
I also found through their website http://www.halotop.com/ that it available nearby at the Kings Grocery store.
Have a Nice Sunday

Vintage prints....
He says to himself I wonder if they are valuable as well a beautiful?
I have a large box of prints for the 80s or 90s that were sold in bulk to people that framed them and then sold them. No longer available as far as I know. They were done in a antique style.
I am afraid my brother does not have anything near the patience of a saint anymore. He had a slice of one of the Melons last night, says it is delicious. Despite working on losing weight he bought three of them and a Bunch of the corn. The scale will tell the tale.
Enjoy Your Sunday

Good Sunday Morning!
Sunny here. I got about a quarter inch of rain yesterday...must have sent the rest of my rain to Roger!!! You're welcome!
2 ears of corn as his starchy veg a day 'some' days a week shouldn't be a problem...but it is a starchy veg...so I'd back off the rice or potatoes or whatever those 'corn' days....Melons shouldn't be an issue either. Do you have a kitchen scale that's digital? 6-10 oz of melon fruit one meal a day, with the other fruit of the day something else should do no harm. If it does....time to cut the corn off the cob, blanch and freeze. Plenty of directions on the internet. Besides all of that, both corn and melons are very healthful and can be included in almost any diet...(except ones like NS, because they include your starch in the entree's usually)
Make 'brothers diet' a CAN have, not a limiting CAN'T have. He'll be more apt to stick to it.
Its all about quantities.
I am about to head out of the house, and prune back the long done hydrangea's, and my last Pink Knock Out Rose...and the Bufordi Holly, which is out there trying to become a huge bush again....I think not!!!
Have some catching up to do on the internet, but happy to say my Vital Signs class module is done for the week...so no staying up late to get my module quiz done before bed.
I'd like another cup of coffee, but no time. Maybe with lunch?
I doubt the prints are original prints knowing the source...on the other hand one never knows.
I just know I like them.
Off to the wilderness. Meaning, if you look outside from within my house you see trees, vegetation, shrubs, flowers, and I'd be hard put to convince you I lived in a subdivision, in Metro ATL!!! Different story out the front windows...still trees, shrubs, flowers, but also street and other houses. So, off to the wilderness I go......turning my back to the street....

Howdy y'all. Been home for maybe half an hour, but got all hot and bothered unpacking J's car. We did, sensibly, stop for lunch on the way home. I'm sitting at my computer now, in front of a fan, to cool off and then nap time with Lilo. J was in the bedroom last I saw. May be nap time for him too, but I really kind of hope not. His cat is being really lovey dovey but in a bit she'll remember that he was gone for the whole weekend and it was awful, just awful and then she'll be standoffish. Lilo tends to be clingy right away and not get standoffish.
OK. I think I hear the bed calling. I'll figure out later exactly where to store the leftover shelf stable foods I bought for the trip. The remaining boiled eggs are already moved from the electric cooler to the fridge and the cooler is put away until next time we need it.

Good Morning...So far sunny Monday. Hope Ed and I get a decent share of that 60% chance of rain. This whole state needs it, badly.
Chores today, or the usual Monday sort.
My psoas was killing me yesterday. Seriously killing me. I didn't even make 2500 steps just doing essentials around the house. Hope today is much better. Yesterday if somebody had shown up on my door step selling pain meds I'd have bought some...it was that bad.
So far today seems to be considerably better.
Ed, I got a tickle out of the personalities of the two 'abandoned' cats! Sounds like J's kitty holds/remembers a grudge!!! I strongly suspect that animals communicate in ways we've yet to understand...don't you wonder what those two had to say about you and J the last two days!!! LOL!!!
How much rain at your house Roger? I am sorry I missed the news last night, but from what I could guess/see NJ got its 'overly fair share' of rain and consequence flooding. Hope you're walking today and not swimming.
Ok, my coffee cup is empty, so it must be time to begin the 'Chore Game'....If I'm granted a 'half time' break, I'll be back!

Hi
I did 7200 steps, well 7178 to be accurate + 1cent. I was out the door A little earlier than usual. It is humid and was showing 72 degrees out the door, now I see it is showing 71 degrees. Slight chance of rain later, more north & south of me. Rainfall for Friday through Sunday ranged from just under 2" to 8" in a few areas. There was some flooding with the usual drowned cars due to trying to drive through the water.
My area as usual stayed flood free. Even when parts of town by the Brooks flood up over the road closing all but one way in and out of town this development stays flood free. The rain was not heavy enough to close any of the usual flooding suspects. We usually see severe flooding in this area from bad storms like Sandy,
Have a Nice Week

We have a nice Cuisinart Digital scale. I figure that since my Meals all include a Smart Carb and a Power Fuel per the NS plan I could use the corn too. The harder part is weighing it before eating. The easiest is to weigh the Corn on the Cob, Eat it and weigh the Cob and do the math. I plan on having a wedge of Melon as one of My SCs today or tomorrow. I need to save him from himself by eating some of both of those foods
The problem is he slices a small potato into his breakfast with a couple of slices of bacon too and often Oatmeal. Serving sizes aggravate him. He figures a Egg is a serving so a whole English Muffin would also be a serving. I am not sure where his Nutritionists head is, she said he could eat a English Muffin a day. Use Whole Wheat or Multi Grain Muffins or breads.
I do need to go dead Head the Geraniums and Roses, I just did not feel like doing it with all the rain lately.GardenKatGardens wrote: »Good Morning...So far sunny Monday. Hope Ed and I get a decent share of that 60% chance of rain. This whole state needs it, badly.
Chores today, or the usual Monday sort.
My psoas was killing me yesterday. Seriously killing me. I didn't even make 2500 steps just doing essentials around the house. Hope today is much better. Yesterday if somebody had shown up on my door step selling pain meds I'd have bought some...it was that bad.
So far today seems to be considerably better.
Ed, I got a tickle out of the personalities of the two 'abandoned' cats! Sounds like J's kitty holds/remembers a grudge!!! I strongly suspect that animals communicate in ways we've yet to understand...don't you wonder what those two had to say about you and J the last two days!!! LOL!!!
How much rain at your house Roger? I am sorry I missed the news last night, but from what I could guess/see NJ got its 'overly fair share' of rain and consequence flooding. Hope you're walking today and not swimming.
Ok, my coffee cup is empty, so it must be time to begin the 'Chore Game'....If I'm granted a 'half time' break, I'll be back!

Hi Again
I hope Your pain is much better too, it must have been horrible if You were thinking of buying if a door to door salesman came by.
If You read my daily news post You will see my area by the house stays flood free and usually the entire town does too. That is despite their being more than one brook flowing through it.
Have a Great Day

I'm sitting at my computer now, in front of a fan, to cool off and then nap time with Lilo. J was in the bedroom last I saw. May be nap time for him too, but I really kind of hope not. His cat is being really lovey dovey but in a bit she'll remember that he was gone for the whole weekend and it was awful, just awful and then she'll be standoffish. Lilo tends to be clingy right away and not get standoffish.
OK. I think I hear the bed calling. I'll figure out later exactly where to store the leftover shelf stable foods I bought for the trip. The remaining boiled eggs are already moved from the electric cooler to the fridge and the cooler is put away until next time we need it.parityanimal wrote: »Howdy y'all. It's marvelous Monday! 90 is the predicted high today, with 60% chance of rain, but mostly not until afternoon so I might get home before it hits.
Hi Ed
If Your Humidity was anything like ours I can understand Your feeling hot.
Was the Electric Cooler expensive?
Have a Good Day
Stay Dry and Cool

Hey Roger! It's probably not half time yet....I just called 'time out'!
Not as sore as yesterday...not overly comfortable though either.
Got the hydrangea trimmed back, my almond milk made, and the lamp in the living room switched over. Its all a start......
Glad to know you went walking.
Although I am allowed 6 oz veg's both lunch and dinner, they just flat out say 2 ears corn. SO, one day I did just what you suggested, weigh corn, eat, weigh cob, do the math....it was just slightly under 6 oz..:) So, after that I don't weigh my corn. I do limit it to once a week though.
News is on....Air Force One just brought us a POTUS!!! He's here to dedicate a building or new program for out Vets. I'd be happier if he came to knock some heads together....I feel very sorry for the Vets here. This is a lousy Vet Hospital.
Bread really isn't the 'bad guy'...but that is a pretty heavy breakfast. I'm guessing lunch and dinner are pretty carb light? I am surprised about the Bacon. Since its been recognized by the WHO as a carcinogen, I'd think it along with hot dogs, and some sausages would not be on their approved foods list. Maybe she needs to update her CEU's! (continuing education units).
Oh, well we can second guess till....whenever, he will eat what he eats. (one egg is a serving BTW)
I think its time to go to the kitchen and make a blender of Sweet Onion Salad Dressing. I'm coming close, but still not quite 'there'....mine's good, their's is better! Maybe today!?!?!

The model we got was about $100 at the time I think, but a bit more now for a similar model. It can keep food cold OR hot, which was why we got it but honestly can't remember the last time (if ever) we actually used it to keep anything hot.
Looks a lot like this one:
https://www.amazon.com/Coleman-40-Quart-PowerChill-Thermoelectric-Cooler/dp/B0014VSR90
We also bought the optional wall adapter sold separately, which has to be used WITH the car adapter. It works fine as a camping refrigerator as long as we have an outlet we can use.

Hi Valerie
Nope, his diet is Protein heavy IMO. Bread isn't exactly a bad guy, I use a 60 calorie Wrap with Home Made Egg Salad or Chicken Salad for example. The Egg uses 1 Hard Boiled Egg, Lite Mayo and No Sugar added Mount Olive brand Sweet Relish and The Chicken Salad is the same except I get two servings out of a 5Oz Water Pack can. I also use the CostCo Large Cans of Chicken or Turkey and weigh out a serving. However with the sale price on the ShopRite Canned Chicken of 77 cents for a 5ounce can it was pretty cheap and a handy size too.
If my Math is not rusty the CostCo works out to be 13.3 cents a ounce ($9.99 for Six 12.5 Ounce package) vs the SR 15.4 so I am paying a little premium for convenience.
I eat 12 ounces of Veges a day FWIW, 6 ounces with each Lunch and Dinner. I like my Veges, I often eat 1/3 to 1/2 head of Iceberg Lettuce too. Currently I am also eating some vine ripe from the garden Cherry Tomatoes.
I'm not sure what You mean by "the lamp in the living room switched over", Did You mean moved?
He came back from Pennsylvania with locally Made German HotDogs, Beef Sticks, a Whole Pork Roll which is going to friends BTW and a couple of locally made other things such as Lebanon Bologna.
He makes his own lean Breakfast and Italian Sausages using a Whole Pork Loin when they go on sale at $1.49 a pound.
Good Luck with the Salad Dressing

OK, I Looked at the Amazon page You linked and I see it is a interesting device. I suspect it is done this way
From Wikipedia
"Thermoelectric cooling uses the Peltier effect to create a heat flux between the junction of two different types of materials. A Peltier cooler, heater, or thermoelectric heat pump is a solid-state active heat pump which transfers heat from one side of the device to the other, with consumption of electrical energy, depending on the direction of the current. Such an instrument is also called a Peltier device, Peltier heat pump, solid state refrigerator, or thermoelectric cooler (TEC). It can be used either for heating or for cooling"
Thank You for the Information.
