Howdy y'all. It's fabulous Friday! I noticed on my phone that I "missed" a call from Kroger at 3 minutes after 11 last night. But to be honest, I didn't miss it much. No message.
I guess the guy at work had some minor crisis and didn't think it through to realize that if I have to be there at 4:45 the next morning, I am NOT taking calls at 3 minutes after 11 at night. He's expected to deal with it and leave details in the log book. That's what it is there for, and whatever it is, even if the fuel center has exploded, there isn't really anything I can do to help as I'm not there.
The lotto machine won't print the daily report? I can print that in the morning, assuming it's working then, and if not, then we have until Saturday night to work on that and we can still go back and get any day of the week. The tank controller won't print its final of the day, or the gas delivery truck is there and you have to leave before he finishes? Log book.
Thank goodness my phone has the "do not disturb" feature that only J and my mother can punch through.
89 predicted for the high today with 20% chance of rain.
Off to the rat mines!

What a Useful feature. I bet You have not even mentioned it to them at work Nor the brand of phone, just in case.
High Temperature for today was showing as a forecast 96 degrees today and tomorrow and a 96% relative humidity. It rained overnight, I know that as the street was wet and there were puddles when I went out walking. I had to detour into the street in one place to avoid a large puddle where a driveway comes out of a business
Have a Great Day and Hopefully it was not a big problem at work.

Hi
Today I am currently at 8K+ Steps, I finished up yesterday at 11K+ steps.
Today's weather it was 77 degrees out the door and high humidity, It is supposed to go up around 96 degrees later on today.
I have selected a radio show called Escape from 1947 to listen to while walking. I think I will listen to more of them.
Some Mini Reviews with links to the review page with images and Nutrition information below.
Chocolate Peanut Butter Brownie Snack
I liked this one too, It was a decent size and density, slightly crumbly and I should have had it on a plate to avoid making a mess I will be reordering it.
Product Details from NS
Get your chocolate and peanut butter fix in this delicious snack! These brownies are chocolately, chewy and guilt free: high in fiber and a good source of protein, with no artificial flavors, colors or sweeteners.

Baked Blueberry Oatmeal Breakfast
I just had this for breakfast and it is round, 3" across with tapering sides and 1" high. It is more or less a already prepared slight Cinnamon Oatmeal with plenty of Blueberries that is ready to eat once heated. I liked it, and a easy to get ready meal too. Just open and remove the package to heat and eat. I will most likely reorder it in the future, OTOH I should be able to use the Lower Sugar version Quaker Instant oats and add Blueberries. Doing that OTOH would be more work and more calories, the added calories coming form the Blueberries
From the NS description
Product Details
With just 11 simple, whole food ingredients and no artificial flavors, colors or sweeteners, the real stars of this breakfast shine through: whole grain rolled oats, wild blueberries and a touch of honey. Baked to golden perfection!

Good EARLY AFTERNOON!
Slept late as I watched the Olympics til very late, so late I didn't even do my Scrabble word...best do that before Ted calls out the dogs to find his Mom! Then, I spent some time in the yard with the weed eater. Forgot to recharge the battery, so there is a couple other places to do tomorrow. And some 'mower' time as well.
Then I want to make a run to 'the far North'...20 miles? to try to help out Jack for a few minutes with some painting issue, then HOME...and maybe coffee with M for a little bit.
All that said, I think I'm tired already! jk!!
Roger, if the isle at the back of the store where the tissues, paper towels, TP, etc was now Chips and Popped Corn, and other NMF (Not My Food) believe me you'd notice!
Glad your TV set up went so well. I'd still be sitting with a diagram and a bunch of wires, and probably saying nasty words....I don't like even hooking up DVD players etc. Makes me crazy!
Ed, hope your day goes well...its Friday after all!! Hope you have a great weekend!
Early on Sat. Morning we should be seeing a meteor shower....This is the shower the kids and I used to watched when we lived in TN...lots of oooohs and aaahs!..Also curious neighbors who would stay and watch with us! If I wake in time, and we aren't under some cloud cover I'll enjoy seeing it.
I think it may be time to go find some lunch! Thinking some thick sliced portabellas seasoned with fajita mix I make, and then of course peppers and onions. A salad, and either apple or grapes...(which ever seems easiest at the moment!)
Later...0 -

Hi Valerie
I have been watching the Olympics late too, Then the next day I hate myself for it as I am so tired.
I believe that running a rechargeable battery down before charging it lengthens the life before it wears out. As I understand it they only have so many charge cycles and if You leave them in a charger that tends to wear them too. What happens that way is that hey slowly discharge as they sit idle and then when they get somewhat low they charge and that cycle repeats.
There are so many lights all around us that we don't see many of the stars let alone meteor showers.
The wiring is not a problem for me, I studied Electronics way, way, way back when when Transistors were coming into use. I have always wired the Audio and Video in the house too.
As I expected from the reviews the TV audio is poor quality. First I tried a a set of older computer speakers that had Bass and Treble controls, Sound was better but still not where I liked it. Then I remembered I had a set of Computer speakers with a Sub Woofer and they sound pretty good
I hope Your day went well

Hi
Today I am at 7K Steps, I will be higher as I need to load the car for a trip to the recycle yard.
I have been listening to the Old Time Radio show called Escape.
Today's weather it was 80 degrees out the door and high humidity, Well 79.7 Degrees is close enough to 80 for me, It is supposed to go up to 95+ later on today.
Have a Great Saturday

Howdy y'all. It's sensational Saturday here in Memphis. I am here to code out my credit union account because we need the money and after we close (hopefully) at the end of this month, I will have no reason to return to Memphis as we will not have property here any more!
Right now I am eating this free (haha haha, really?) breakfast at the motel. At least there is a banana.
Then off to the credit union to be there at, or shortly before they open. And then back home to Georgia. J will be heading to Kentucky this afternoon to get some money there. We have had some stashed away in places where we might need ready cash but right now we need it to finish the repairs we promised the buyer. I just sent a check for a large sum to our agent to cover a portion but we are having to clean pretty much everything out. We should be able to put it back after closing, we hope. My Memphis money will go back into a different account that I already took most of, since I won't have or need the account in Memphis any more.
Well, off to the credit union!

Good Saturday Morning!
Eating my breakfast, and then going to dash out the door and do a bit of mowing. After that a shower, and SCHOOL..no excuses! Meeting Marietta in Tucker this after, at a neat little coffee place we found for a bit of chatting, and then home and more SCHOOL, if necessary.
Oh, Roger, I looked again at Kroger and found the ice cream you were talking about. I looked at the ingredients and just chuckled as I put it back....Milk, Eggs, Cream are the first 3 ingredients...whoops! NMF!!! Bet its good though, and it has some great sounding names.... I was looking at a Chocolate Mint flavor....I'll leave it there for you so they don't run out of stock!!
And the house we rented in NJ must have been your house....it was wired for sound throughout the entire house. Was kinda nice, when I was there alone, not so nice if somebody wanted to watch TV, and I wanted to listen to music!! That was a neat house, way ahead of its time....the counter tops were Stainless Steel...and the range was a gas and electric combo which I would buy if I could find one. At first I thought it was dumb, but I grew to love the electric oven and didn't have to give up my gas burners to have it!
Ed, hope all goes well with your banking, and J has a safe trip to KY, and you back to GA.
I hear that ratty lawn mower calling me, all the way from the garage!!

1st things first, I'm now home from the Recycle center, bank, Produce store, Dollar Store, & Post Office and up to 8500 steps. I did not go as far as usual this morning on my walk due to the heat & humidity and the plan to go do the running too

I hope Your weather is better than ours, It was 80 degrees inside and outside at 6AM
I did turn on the AC before I left for my daily walk
I noticed that the "So Called" Free breakfast is not too good, often burnt coffee, Coffee mate type creamer and a stale Donut. I think You are ahead of the game since You got a Banana!
Have a Great Day

Nope it was not this house Stainless steel counters sound Nice and easy to keep clean too. We have a Gas Stove top in the Counter and a Electric Wall oven so I know what You mean. When Sandy Hit and ate the Electric we were able to light the stove with matches and heat water for coffee and cooking. I was so glad we were not all electric. And with a Electric oven is something disrupted the Gas flow we would still have the Microwave and Oven so IMO Win/Win.
I was glad I mowed Tuesday as Wednesday the heat and Humidity moved in and lucky me it my brothers turn next And the grass is starting to look ragged too.
Have a Nice Weekend

Howdy y'all, from Peachtree Corners, GA!
No real trouble getting my money out. The only minor snag was one I sort of expected, but it was easily resolved.
On Saturday, the credit union lobby is not open, only the drive through. There are three lanes. Lane 1 is at the building itself, with the big window, and ALSO, right after the window, has the ATM.
Lane 1 is generally not open for business as anyone doing business there blocks drive up access to the ATM, which I think they really should have put on the other side of the building, but no one asked me for my opinion on that.
Lanes 2 and 3 were open, so I got in line and finally to the front, where I said I needed to close my account. Response? "You can't close an account through the window."
Not really unexpected, but then I explained why I had to do that, since I couldn't possibly be there on a weekday to come in and take care of that in the lobby, as I live 400 miles away and work Monday through Friday. And mentioned that I had made a special trip, 400 miles, just to take care of that.
Rather than standing on policy, the teller told me to drive around to Lane 1, took my ID and my bank card, ran me a cashier's check for the full amount in the account, and I signed that I had received the money and then I was on my merry way back home to Georgia! Thank goodness for hiring people with sense enough to work things out and find a way to take care of things.
Been something of a rough two days, what with driving over 800 miles in two days, and spending the night in a cheap, but not sleazy, motel.
I'm ordering in tonight. Should feed me for three or four meals.

Howdy y'all. It's scintillating Sunday! Been up since about 5:20, got Lilo fed, me fed, wasted time on the internet, pondering laundry and indoor watering.
The sugar baby watermelon I got in a CSA box two weeks ago is delicious and part of it was part of my breakfast.
What's left now may be part of lunch. We'll see...raw items from the cucurbits group seem to often repeat on me.
Supposed to be 92 today with 0% chance of rain! What happened to our 20% we almost always have this time of year? LOL.
Well, let me get this other upgrade to Linux started anyway.

I have been meaning to ask this question and You might know the answer. Is or was that where Peachtree Accounting Software was located?
You were lucky at that bank that there was someone with a heart and knowledge willing to go the extra mile.
You were also lucky IMO that Cheap did not = Sleazy
Once I located a inexpensive motel while traveling on vacation I made a mental note of where it was for future use.

Well, let me get this other upgrade to Linux started anyway. So I looked it up and what a interesting family. Is it all of them That may repeat on You?
Did I ever mention that according to a local free Newspaper that New Jersey is the number four Peach growing state. True Georgia is ahead of us here. The top three according to Clemson are
California (#1), South Carolina (#2), and Georgia (#3) followed by NJ
And I'll bet You know this, From NBC News in 2013:
What is the most valuable fruit crop produced in the Peach State?
This is not a trick question, but you may want to pause a second before answering.
Ready? It's the blueberry.
Just curious, are You changing to Linux or just upgrading it ? And which Distribution are You using?
I have a Older laptop that would be a perfect platform for a Linux Box I suspect. It has a Pentium 4 2.2Ghz, 1Gb of Memory and a 120Gb hard Drive an a DVD Reader/CD Writer. FWIW the 1Gb is all it can support. It can run windows 7 32 bit as it is a 32 bit CPU. It being this one a Sager 5600 that I picked up in trade years ago. 1024MB PC2100 DDR Memory, UXGA (1600 × 1200) TFT Active Matrix LCD Display w/ ATI Radeon Mobility 9000 w/ 64MB, Combo 8X DVD/16×10×24 CD-RW.

Hi
Today I have hit 8.1K Steps, That includes the stop at the Grocery Store for 2 Dozen low Priced Jumbo Eggs and a 4 ounce package of Baked Ham to use as 2 SC protein.
I am still listening to the Old Time Radio show called Escape.
Today's weather it was 82 degrees out the door and high humidity, That is 2 Degrees higher than yesterday at the same time, It is supposed to go up to 95+ later on today.

Good Sunday Morning!
Ed, glad you're here in GA again! What would have been even easier would have been a bank to bank money transfer!! I know its 'doable', and I used it to pay off the loan on this house years ago...of course I held my breath til I could SEE online that the transfer actually went thru and that my money wasn't lost in cyber junk yard! I think the only reason banks don't want to do that is they want to keep your money so they can draw on it for their own borrowing power!
Anyhow, glad you're home. hopefully the watermelon will treat you nicely! I think our 20% along with others is in LA, causing death and destruction...Those poor folks you have to feel sorry for them.

I offered to bring enough corn to grill for all of us....and they're doing South Beach redux, and so no starchy carbs. Pity.:) I'll take enough for the kids to have some with me. They're both skinny rails and need the energy food. (starchy carbs). Then it will be home and pulling a long evening to get this unit finished....final test has to be passed by midnight tonite!

Actual cucumbers are the worst. I love eating them, just don't love tasting them for the rest of the day. Even "burpless" varieties repeat on me. Watermelon depends on how ripe, how close to the rind, etc...and perhaps even which variety. I won't eat pickled watermelon rinds because they are nearly as bad as cucumbers, even if they ARE pickled. Pickled cucumbers don't tend to bother me but then one doesn't generally eat large quantities of that anyway.Did I ever mention that according to a local free Newspaper that New Jersey is the number four Peach growing state.

Well, I grow blueberries but not peaches. And those other states may be bigger peach growers, but Georgia, and Atlanta area in particular are probably the biggest at using PEACHTREE in names. Having said that, I believe the original Peachtree Accounting software was actually developed by a group in Chicago, Illinois.Just curious, are You changing to Linux or just upgrading it ?

I have one Dell mini-laptop that I run Linux on, and one virtual machine on my Macbook. Both run Ubuntu. Simply because of the resources available to both, they don't run super fast. The Dell just doesn't have a lot, and I'm not allocating all that much to the virtual machine as my Macbook is my main computer and I'd rather leave most of the resources available to the Macbook itself. I'd say that older laptop would probably work well for Linux. You'd need to download and burn a Linux installation boot CD but that's not too difficult to do.
I like Ubuntu. I think J may be running Redhat on our main server in the computer closet.

High of 91 predicted, with 20% chance of rain. Sounds pretty normal.
Off to the salt races!

Hi
Today is 8K Steps done, It was a whopping 78 degrees out the door and a reported lower humidity. That means a giant 4 degrees cooler than yesterday.
I am still listening to the Old Time Radio show called Escape. I think it is nearing time to look at the Old Time Radio shows I downloaded from the Public Domain site and decide what to prepare to Sync with the iPod when I go to charge it next time. Maybe a Western or two, Hmmm there is an idea, Make a set of one episode show samples to listen too. Toss in other categories and see what strikes my fancy for longer term listening
As I was sitting down to Dinner last night I glanced at the Living Room window and the rain was hitting it hard enough that I could almost see through it.
I figure I brought that on as I watered the plants yesterday in the morning.
Have a Great Week

I offered to bring enough corn to grill for all of us....and they're doing South Beach redux, and so no starchy carbs. Pity.:) I'll take enough for the kids to have some with me. They're both skinny rails and need the energy food. (starchy carbs). Then it will be home and pulling a long evening to get this unit finished....final test has to be passed by midnight tonite!
Later...
Hi Valerie
I do have two nicer laptops that run Windows 7 Pro on the Better one and Windows 10 on the other one. Both run good as they have SSD drives rather than Traditional hard drives DVD Burners and enough memory. I use the one as a generic backup in case something happens to the desktop computers. Or as it happened I was able to take it to the Library once they got power and Internet back after our Sandy caused power loss. The other is for Online Shopping / Bill paying /Banking only. Not even any email, I tend to be somewhat cautious that way after dealing with peoples problems from Run of the Mill Viruses, and Identity theft via a RAT that they got onto their computer.
To Guard against that I have backups of both Desktops on smaller Intel SSD drives that were the Boot Drives and both of them have larger Samsung SSD drives currently, Approximately 500 Gb free space on both of them. The Video Work computer also has a SSD data drive for captures and editing as well as traditional drives. Data gets backed up to Mirrored drives in NAS drives and 4Tb Portable external drives. I have completely switched to using Portable drives these days as I believe that since they use 2.5" laptop drives they will run cooler, use less energy and also important be much smaller and not need external power. Toss in that on sale they are comparable in price to External drives of the same size when those are on sale and take up much less space on the shelf after being filled with data files. The Speed is Good too with the USB3 interface.
Am I paranoid regarding computer safety? Maybe on the other hand having seen first hand at work that the bad guy are out to get Me, probably not
I hope Your family meal went well.
BTW did You see this article?
From Here:
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2016/08/09/parents-forcing-vegan-diet-on-their-children-face-prison-time-un/
Parents forcing vegan diet on their children face prison time under proposed Italian law.
10 August 2016 • 12:40am
Parents who force a vegan diet on to their children would face prison under a new law proposed in Italy.
Elvira Savino, of centre-right party Forza Italia, has proposed legislation under which parents who provide children aged 16 and under with a "diet lacking essential elements for an healthy growth" face up to two years of prison.
The MP explains in the proposal that in the last few years the belief that vegetarian and vegan diets bring benefits "has been spreading in Italy" and adults are entitled to choose that type of diet.
However, Ms Savino says, minors need to be protected from "radicalised" parents who want to impose on their children a restrictive diet that lack "essential elements needed for an healthy physical and cognitive development."
Ms Savino writes that vegan diets leave children potentially lacking in iron, zinc and B12, which can lead to neurological problems and anaemia, reports Italian newspaper La Repubblica.
The MP explains that the aim of the 'Savino Law' is to "definitely stigmatise negligent parental behaviours which put minors at risk."
There is more in the article FWIW
Have a Nice Monday

Actual cucumbers are the worst. I love eating them, just don't love tasting them for the rest of the day. Even "burpless" varieties repeat on me. Watermelon depends on how ripe, how close to the rind, etc...and perhaps even which variety. I won't eat pickled watermelon rinds because they are nearly as bad as cucumbers, even if they ARE pickled. Pickled cucumbers don't tend to bother me but then one doesn't generally eat large quantities of that anyway.Did I ever mention that according to a local free Newspaper that New Jersey is the number four Peach growing state. True Georgia is ahead of us here. The top three according to Clemson are
California (#1), South Carolina (#2), and Georgia (#3) followed by NJ
And I'll bet You know this, From NBC News in 2013:
What is the most valuable fruit crop produced in the Peach State?
This is not a trick question, but you may want to pause a second before answering.
Ready? It's the blueberry.
Well, I grow blueberries but not peaches. And those other states may be bigger peach growers, but Georgia, and Atlanta area in particular are probably the biggest at using PEACHTREE in names. Having said that, I believe the original Peachtree Accounting software was actually developed by a group in Chicago, Illinois.Just curious, are You changing to Linux or just upgrading it ? And which Distribution are You using?
I have a Older laptop that would be a perfect platform for a Linux Box I suspect. It has a Pentium 4 2.2Ghz, 1Gb of Memory and a 120Gb hard Drive an a DVD Reader/CD Writer. FWIW the 1Gb is all it can support. It can run windows 7 32 bit as it is a 32 bit CPU. It being this one a Sager 5600 that I picked up in trade years ago. 1024MB PC2100 DDR Memory, UXGA (1600 × 1200) TFT Active Matrix LCD Display w/ ATI Radeon Mobility 9000 w/ 64MB, Combo 8X DVD/16×10×24 CD-RW.
Any Thoughts?

I have one Dell mini-laptop that I run Linux on, and one virtual machine on my Macbook. Both run Ubuntu. Simply because of the resources available to both, they don't run super fast. The Dell just doesn't have a lot, and I'm not allocating all that much to the virtual machine as my Macbook is my main computer and I'd rather leave most of the resources available to the Macbook itself. I'd say that older laptop would probably work well for Linux. You'd need to download and burn a Linux installation boot CD but that's not too difficult to do.
I like Ubuntu. I think J may be running Redhat on our main server in the computer closet.
I always liked Cucumbers sliced into lightly salted water and chilled, they have never been a problem for me luckily. The only food that I could say is problematic for me is Cashew Nuts and given that yes I like them but do not crave them I can live with that
That sounds like the older Dell Mini with the lower speed CPU etc. I do know how to download and burn Boot DVDs, I have not even had blank CDs in the house for many years, since soon after DVD Burners became available at a semi affordable price, $400 is the figure I recall. I had a 1X CD Reader starting back in the DOS & Windows 3.x days.
Hmm, a Server in the closet, hopefully a ventilated closet The closest I come to a server used in the house is Four 2Tb and 4Tb QNAP NAS drives with mirrored drives on the network. When I was working we did use Windows Server 2003 R2 and I assembled more than one Server for some of our customers. The easiest to setup were the HPs Desktop or blade versions depending on who they were using them for as that was their business. I installed the Software and then they did the final configuring and activation depending on their customers Requirement. I do have a German Brand in the basement with 8Gb etc. Not in use currently inexpensive Dual core computer.
When I was working we did see the occasional Lenovo ThinkServer systemv for warranty. The funniest one that was brought in for warranty was brought in for DOA failure to POST and Boot. It was the first one that they had bought. The System had so much smarts and diagnostics it took a long time to run them and then start. It even had a card that could supply diagnostic information from a dead computer. In this case they just did not wait long enough for it to get going.
The worst to work on were the thin 1U HP rackmounts as as the fans were very noisy. When You powered them up You would have sworn they had jet engines in them and even after the P O S T and the fans slowed down they were deafeningparityanimal wrote: »Howdy y'all. It's marvelous Monday!
High of 91 predicted, with 20% chance of rain. Sounds pretty normal.
Hi Again
Once again it is in the 90s. Saturday and Sunday the actual temperatures were in the mid to upper 90s with Saturday being at 95 and a THI of 110 Not nice outside on those days.
We had a 220KV overhead power line fall across train tracks and energize them as well as start brush fires this weekend here in NJ. I feel for the people that lost power as a result with the heat. The last figure I heard was 20,000 with the power out.
Have a Nice Day

Howdy y'all. It's terrific Tuesday!
Supposed to be 91 today with 50% chance of rain.
Come to think of it, Roger, you DO need a bood DVD, not CD. A CD isn't big enough. If your system allows it, you could also make a boot USB stick.
Off to the rat mines!

Hi
Today is 8K+ Steps done, It was 80 degrees out the door and higher humidity.
No to much to say today, tomorrow is market day, 10% Senior Discount Day. Most likely some Bananas and other fruit. My Brother kindly Hard Boiled a Dozen Eggs yesterday so they will be some of my proteins in the upcoming period. I do need to use up the open package of Ham since once You open them they do not stay good that long. I find that with any lunch-meats, including Deli Sliced to order meats. That will be 70 calories of protein and a a 60 Calorie Wrap and some light Mayo + No Sugar Added Sweet relish as a sandwich. I am undecided whether to buy another dozen of the Jumbo Eggs since they are only 79 cents - 10% tomorrow. And the use by dates are good.
Have a Great Week

Come to think of it, Roger, you DO need a boot DVD, not CD. A CD isn't big enough. If your system allows it, you could also make a boot USB stick.
I know I can do it on the desktop, I need to go into the Bios on the Sager and see if it can use a USB to boot from. Not all the older computers supported that. I could also do a live DVD and boot from and run from that and see how it goes as a test. I tend to over stock on media
I think I still have 100 to 110 Blank DVDs and 35 to 40 BluRay blanks. I stock up when I see them on sale at a good price and a Good Brand. Currently I use the Good Versions of the Verbatim blanks. I need to be careful buying as they also have a cheap crud line that they sell in Best Buy for example. I tend to buy them on NewEgg where I can be sure what I am getting.
I did buy some (20 or so) cheap Optical Quantum BluRay blanks that I bought when I started using a BluRay Burner to do test burns to see if I got things right before I used the good ones.
Anyway, Off to Breakfast for me now
Have a Good Day and thank You for the Info

Good Tuesday Morning,
I'll be quick...lots on my plate today.
Laundry is dry, and quit beeping already..
I've eaten an abreviated breakfast, as I had no banana this morning.
I've been out trimming that Ivy that was spilling into my yard...for 2 reasons, I don't want it, and there didn't seem to be anybody living there...
that issue got solved yesterday....new family with 2 extremely pretty and nice girls, Hanna and Anna....OMG! anyhow, they are renting from the Koreans with options to buy in 2 years.
He, the dad who's name I didn't catch, said he liked my yard! That he'd Googled the street before they came to look at the house! WOW!
Roger, 2 of those cartoons were 'loved' and reviewed...sorry for the other person who lost their post too, and glad I wasn't the only one!
BroomHilda cracked me up...I hate those 'you are here' maps!! and the other one that caused me to laugh was the two kids and cooking a pizza in space...only a kid would think like that.
Ok...off to the shower to get the Deep Woods Off off of me..and then to the gym if I can, and the Mex. market for tomatoes, an avocado, and a Banana!!! or two...
And need to be out to meet Nate's school bus today....O has a Doc appt with her Diabetes Doc...they do this 4 times a year to help keep her on track....last time she got lectured about taking responsibility. (I don't think it did much good.) hmmmmmm. So, it will be probably around 7 when I get home, as they will be working against ATL traffic. (like me leaving an hour early to go less than 20 miles to see O's 6:30 gymnastics.) (from 4 to 7 or later around here, if you get in your car to go somewhere, you'd best take your patience out of your pocket, and set it on the dashboard...cause you'll need it.)

Hi Valerie
We had to get rid of Ivy last year it was taking over the back of the Yard and covering quite a bit of the shed. That may have done it as so far all I see is what is peeping through the fence from the yard behind. Since It was not where we planned to grow anything to eat I also used Round Up on what sprouted after the removal.
Hopefully it will sink in, I knew someone that was wheelchair due to lower extremities removal caused by Runaway Diabetes. I have some minor numbness in the feet from years of sugar levels that were just below where there would have been medications required. If I had been warned back then....
I think I got lightly too.
Along with the other issues that it can cause in men and women I hope the doctor can throw a scare into "O".
I'm sure I don't have to tell You about it however
It sounds like the NYC or LA rush hour traffic. It used to take me forever to go a few miles when I was working and had to get through the Lincoln Tunnel Rush hour traffic to go from one stop to another.
Have a Good Day

I think he does try to reason with her, but on the other hand....she's 12. And the next few years til she gets thru puberty are going to be extra challenging. Still..her sloppiness in remembering to dose herself after meals just goes thru me. I've told her about the patients I used to have to stick (draw blood from) in the feet...and the ones with no feet really became a challenge...and the blindness, and a whole host of other things....
So, yep, I DO KNOW! And I am frightened for her. Hopefully there will be some good testing results for the artificial pancreas, soon. Or the beta testing of stem cells...etc.

Howdy again y'all. Didn't get as much nap as I'd have liked because I had to go and, reluctantly, give blood to the vampire at the doctor's office.
The vampire...er, technician, suggested I go home and hydrate and eat protein to rebuild blood.
Tonight's home made, Middle Eastern spiced, butternut squash soup with chicken was a good start. Jalapeño garlic toast on the side. The chicken in the soup was left over from yesterday's kabob lunch plate.
Since I made a rather special soup, I opened one of my TREASURE bottles of wine: Empyrean Cygnus Syrah, 2005, Yakima Valley. Very NICE. I drank half the bottle, and will finish it tomorrow (with the leftover soup!) and have one bottle left of this one. I may have to see if my pusher...er, supplier has some more.
Also drank a liter of water with dinner. I think we're good...
But I also think I am feeding the sugar gliders and cats and heading to bed.
G'night all!

Howdy y'all. It's wonderful Wednesday! Tag day. 91 degrees for the expected high with 40% chance of scattered thunderstorms.
I heard some rumblings during the night but haven't peeked out yet to see if there was any rain.
Off to the salt races!
