Good morning!
I did not think of hitting the edit till I started the post! It was just fewer steps!
Your weather sounds nice actually. I love it when it rains and I am home, or at least not on the freeway with heavy downpours! I am struggling to water as the humidity is in the mid 70's, so I tend to not want to go out. We look like we are readying for fall, but it is just dryness in places that have not gotten the scattered showers, like my place.We seem to have had about 1/8th of an inch this morning early, but I may still need to water here and there.
Kiffles are really nice pastries filled with usually apricot, nut, or poppy seed filling. Also cheese or prune. Mine were apricot. They are cookie size, also known as kolaches. We used to get them when I was little around my grandparents home, while there was still neighborhood bakeries of German and Polish descent. You may still have them where you are. They are a square of light flaky dough made with cream or sour cream, filled, then the 2 opposite corners are pinched. Yep, carbs do me in!
Sadly, school starts in a good bit of the south very early. My daughter had to show up for school Aug. 2 for 1 week of useless inservice. Neither the teachers or the students are any smarter for it, lol. The kids start today. No after Labor Day here. Dumbest thing I ever saw... enough said, lol!
Apparently I will be at the Dr. today. He will blow a gasket over my weight.... May May had food aggression from being starved out on the road. I also think she had to fight for her food when she did have a place. She has gotten much better, and I can feed her and Chester treats when they are together, and even chicken meat. She is very polite as I do it. I do always feed them separate in two separate rooms. I had noticed lately she seemed to be guarded more as she is eating. I chalked it up to the doggie door, which it may be, if she thinks someone will come in. She had also growled one time about 2 wks ago when I was fixing the food, which she has not done in a while. I had made her sit, after reprimanding her. Well, we were off schedule somewhat, and I was fixing a late lunch for me. I dropped a bag by mistake and she went for it. I did not want her to have it, (and was not paying the attention I should have!!! My fault for missing it!!) and was easing her off with my leg and foot, and bam!! She nailed me in the foot. The bag had fallen in a tight corner, where I also prepare the dog food and I just did not put it together fast enough she was not moving off, but guarding it within an inch of her life. I should have verbally moved her off and used her drop it command, or even the command alone and would probably have been fine. So...for my dumbness I guess I will be headed for a tetanus shot and antibiotics. Dummy me!! The kitchen looked like a bloodbath, and I was sure I had lost a liter of blood. In reality, it was probably more like 1/8 of a cup, but I had visions I would be calling my daughter to take me to the ER. I do have a nice puncture on the top of my foot. I do not know how she managed only one. The pain was awful, but she must have come to her senses, as there were slight indents but no broken skin in other places.
I was pretty shocked though, she has been so good about it lately. The few times she has gotten into trouble though, I did not catch it fast enough and I actually set up the circumstances myself, in retrospect. Perhaps not this one, but I did handle it wrong... Duh..live and learn....
The humor was pretty funny!! I loved the cat news too! Be good!! ..Jan1 -

Hi
I did some walking once again, The temperature this morning was 65 on the news channel and 61 degrees on the front porch.

Prof lets students choose own grades for 'stress reduction'
on Aug 07, 2017 at 11:34 AM EDT
A University of Georgia professor has adopted a “stress reduction policy” that will allow students to select their own grades if they “feel unduly stressed” by the ones they earned.
Similarly, students who feel stressed by "group dynamics" are allowed to walk away from their groups without explanation, and will only be graded on "non-group work."
The professor acknowledges that "this policy might hinder the development of group skills and mastery of the class material," but says this is each student's own responsibility.
According to online course syllabi for two of Dr. Richard Watson’s fall business courses, he has introduced the policy because “emotional reactions to stressful situations can have profound consequences for all involved.”

We have been lucky that we have not needed to water much if any this summer, so far
If I said that the Kiffles sound a lot like Rugelach as far as taste.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rugelach
Rugelach (/ˈruːɡələx/; ROO-ge-lahkh; Yiddish: ראָגאַלעך and Hebrew: רוגלך), other spellings: rugelakh, rugulach, rugalach, ruggalach, rogelach (all plural), rugalah, rugulah, rugala, roogala (singular), is a Jewish pastry of Ashkenazic origin. It is very popular in Israel, commonly found in most cafes and bakeries. It is also a popular treat among American and European Jews.
Traditional rugelach are made in the form of a crescent by rolling a triangle of dough around a filling.[1][2] Some sources state that the rugelach and the French croissant share a common Viennese ancestor, crescent-shaped pastries commemorating the lifting of the Turkish siege,[3] possibly a reference to the Battle of Vienna in 1683. This appears to be an urban legend however, as both the rugelach and its supposed ancestor, the Kipferl, pre-date the Early Modern era, while the croissant in its modern form did not originate earlier than the 19th century (see viennoiserie). This leads many to believe that the croissant is simply a descendant of one of these two.
An alternative form is constructed much like a strudel or nut roll, but unlike those, the rolled dough and filling are cut into slices before baking.[4]
Maybe a regional variant?
I wonder how comfortable it was in the schools at that time of year?Sadly, school starts in a good bit of the south very early. My daughter had to show up for school Aug. 2 for 1 week of useless inservice. Neither the teachers or the students are any smarter for it, lol. The kids start today. No after Labor Day here.

Good morning!!
Your weather sounds nice!! I am ready for fall! We did get 1 1/2 inches of rain yesterday!! Really happy and I do not have to water. Always a plus!! I just realized you did not post a pic of your garden this year!!
That professor just sounds lazy IMO!
Yep, It is totally uncomfortable here going to class in Aug. The football team practices must really be fun!!
You are correct!! Rugelach is just a puffy version of kiffles, lol! They must have similar origins!
Well, I have a DR. excuse to be lazy! I got my tetanus shot which included a whooping cough and diphtheria booster. That was probably a good idea, since I am sure I have not have those boosters since in my teens. I am hobbling and can not wear a shoe for long, lol! Church will be fun!!
Nice job on the walking!! ..Humor, yay!!!! ..Jan 1 -

Ah Ha, I had a suspicion about that.
I hope Your feet bet better quick

Yea, for not having to water.

Good morning,
I did not make it to church last night. I just propped the foot and stayed home. In addition to the discomfort, I had my new dose of one of my B/P meds. I think it lowered my B/P too much. The bright spot was I got to drink a cup of real caffeinated coffee and felt better. He had wanted me to take 2x the amount 2x a day, in addition to the amount I was already taking of that med. I skipped the new dose last nite, and took the new pill this am, but not the old one. I will see how that does, and raise it gradually. I do not have to change too often and I forget how weird you feel when you change. The Doc doesn't do it gradually, and I forget it is better to do so!
Great job walking as usual! I headed for humor first this AM, after feeding the dogs and birds. It drizzled a little during the nite, about 1/8 of an inch, but I will take what I can get!
The housing story was a little weird, IMO !! What do they expect people to do? Go live in a garbage can so someone younger can move in, lol? They also did not put the blame on anyone on real estate charging exorbitant prices for the past 50 years that the average wage earner can not afford. That is just greed plain and simple. I do sympathize however. I am sure our unemployment rate does not really represent the fact many jobs pay so low, housing is not affordable. Only one of many messes!!
I wonder how much soda is in Philly? I do not drink it, but it must be pretty bad to be worse to buy than beer, lol.
And yes, the funeral home is just yucky. Well, I guess they figured they are dead and hardly lying in it for long. It is just creepy. That is a service which must be rendered, and you always have that need. But I do find it a little creepy. I do not think I could marry a mortician.....Just sayin'......
Have a good Friday and week-end!! ...Jan1 -

I can not fault a older home owner for not wanting change. I suspect that in some areas the get tired of people knocking on the door trying to buy their home. I blame the developers, They do not want to build affordable homes only Mini mansions.
I found all those to be weird. So are today's news links
Not to mention that beer is more fattening than Soda
I also noticed this

Good morning!!
Maybe they should bring back the truth is stranger than fiction and apply it to the news for a new show, lol!!
We had awesome rain here, about 2 inches. It came down so fast we had flash floods. South of here it was even more, up to 5 inches. I had watered first, of course, lol!!
The foot feels much better now, as the swelling has gone down. Always a good thing!!
Glad they jailed the cake stealers. They deserved it for language and stupidity. Almost as bad as the million dollar bum. What was he thinking?? The cop story was just weird. That is a dude with some serious perception problems. Reminds me of the quote, "We're all crazy here!"

Good morning!
Well, yesterday was a strange day! My doc was in court, so my trip was wasted, and they rescheduled. I guess they thought she would be done. I did pick up a few items from the store so my trip was not in vain. I wish I had remembered Tylenol. ! have motrin and aspirin, but they raise my B/P so I hate to take it. The funny thing is, all this has aggravated my old ankle injury. That is what hurts, not so much the bite injury. I guess maybe the swelling and a few days of walking funny. Always something!
I am sure I should not laugh at the first 2 posts, but I could not help it! The photo bomb was priceless! OTOH, who puts their purse down with $200.00 in it on a lamp post just so it is not in a picture? The veggie one did not go to a post about being dumber, lol. It went to a video, though I only got the audio, about a veggie burger developed by Silicon Valley using a plant based molecule similar to myoglobin found in meat. It cost something like almost $200,000 to develope. They served the veggie burger at two restaurants for 16-20 dollars, and were sold out in 30 minutes. It tastes and looks like a real hamburger, complete with juice! Interesting, pricey!
The bunkers reminded me a little of us hiding under our desks in the 50's and 60's in case of nuclear attack! I see needing a social injustice for heavy people slot! Wish they would focus on a magic bullet that just safely disposed of excess calories into space or something, lol!
Great constant walking! You must not be having too much trouble with animals pilfering the garden. Did that stop finally?
Have a good Sunday!! It is hot and humid, in the 90's with 75- 80% humidity. Yuck.. The bugs and mosquitoes love it though! ...Jan

I'm sorry to hear about Your semi wasted doctor trip.
I'll be really brief at this point as I think I'm going back to bed.
You can not cure stupid
What was it duck and cover back then as I recall it?
Still having critter problems. My brother threw away a 1/2 eaten large nicely ripened tomato yesterday, He was not happy. I keep seeing 1/2 eaten blackberries too.
Does that mean You won't be buying that veggie burger ?

Hello!

Jan-so sorry to hear about your foot. Take care! Frustrating to go to the doctor without seeing the doctor. Roger- lots of interesting reading...i need to double-back to read some. I took Friday off..had planned a beach trip...woke with a dreadful headache and body ache. Same all day Saturday. Today it was clearly a sinus infection. Doing my sinus washes. Then most of today...no water. Water company working nearby experienced a problem. Water is not clear at all...so, I'm imposing that we only drink bottled water...and even boiling the dog water. Also on Friday (my day off), boss called and said she has no work for me for at least a week. I found work for Monday, but we'll see.1

Well, It is evening, and I checked in again!
Val, Don't find too much work!!! Is your boss giving you time off? That would be a big yay!!!! Sorry about your water. What a pain! I hope you are over your sinus infection soon also! You sure do not want to be ill during possible time off!!
Interesting reading from Amazon, though that does not seem like a huge line of food. Seems a little odd. Also the package said to refrigerate, and the article was about not needing refrigeration. Maybe I miss read it or it was after opening. I am back tracking to read the other articles and also going for humor.
I hope everyone feels better!!! ...Jan 1 -

I guess I need to go back and read it again too. Maybe they meant refrigerate any unused portion after opening. The N foods say that as if there would be any left over. Plus who but the most stupid does not refrigerate unused foods?

There have been lots of water main breaks in NJ and NYC. Many of the water mains are really old.
We have been drinking bottled water from 1/2 liter bottles for may years. Not the Water is unsafe, it just does not taste good
I have heard of that happening. In Your case I thought they likes Your work ?hope4change_val wrote: »Thanks Jan...in this business, this is exactly how they get rid of employees...they give the person no assignments, then the person runs out of forced vacation, so they are switched to a Casual employee (no benefits and only paid for time worked).
I hope You are wrong and that is not what they are doing ...
Good Luck

Hi More humor today
Hi

Good Morning for Weds.!
I hope you are feeling a little better, Roger! Hopefully you are not running a temperature anymore! It is crummy to feel bad in the summer. At least in the winter you can cover up and feel more justified!!
It is in the lower 90's with the humidity in the high 70's. Kind of yucky. It is cooler in the mornings and evenings but the humidity then is in the 80's and 90's. I am turning more and more into an air conditioned hot house plant, lol!
Interesting posts. I know there are a lot of NS people here, but I am not sure what posts they are on. It is hard for me, time wise to be adding much more, lol. Church and rescue seems to take a lot of my day, too. I try not to be hooked to the computer in excess time-wise, but it seems I am, actually!!
Worried about you, Val. I hope your boss is giving you a deserved rest, and not doing anything else.
Hang in there! You are such a good employee!! I hope you are feeling better, too!
This week is not quiet, which I was hoping for. My foot feels better, just aggravated now by prior injuries.
Hang in there, all. Some weeks you just have to take it easy or in stride. Have a good day!! ..Jan1 -
And even more humor with a Video at the end that ties into the image above it
Hi
I still did not do any walking today, I still have a sore throat. The temperature this morning was 70 on the news channel and 72 degrees on the front porch, FWIW. I can see we had some light rain overnight.
I went looking for some Blackberries this morning, I found one ripe one and several not ripe. It appears that production is done for the year.
FWIW I went to the medical place as I am still feeling poorly, Tired, Sore Throat and weak. I took the visit to the Medical place as a excuse to stop for Fruits on the way to Pharmacy.
I'm back, the rapid strep throat test came back negative, The throat is inflamed and for now they are trying Amoxicillin. Wish me luck.
BTW I do not know if it is different here in NJ than Where You are?
Here they do not give You a written Prescription, It is sent to You Pharmacy electronically. That sort of Hinders shopping around. I do know not to use CVS as they are high. I paid $11 for the last and the current pills at the local pharmacy.
I picked up a bag of Mineola's. A couple of Pink Lady Apples, a Couple of Nectarines and some greenish Bananas. They also had some decent sized Salads that run 210 to 290 calories per servings AKA bowl. They were Bacon & Turkey Cobb Salad, Cranberry & Walnut Salad and a Caprese Salad so I thought I would try them. I have had all three types from other sources and liked them.
Signature Farms Cranberry Walnut Salad
More of a side dish than a meal, this salad is fresh, but the toppings are chintzy. The raspberry vinaigrette is much too sweet and lacks acid. A 4.5 ounce salad has 210 calories, 9 g fat, 450 mg sodium, 7 g protein.

This one is the highest in calories and Sodium, I suspect due to the bacon.

Good Luck

Good morning!
Glad you are on antibiotics. Not to worry on the temp, I probably misread it! You might have just said you were feeling warm!! Much to my dismay, I find my mind making some pretty funny leaps sometimes! I hope it is not the beginning of anything else, hopefully just Old-Timers!!
I had to go downtown Monday and parked in a parking deck. I was about 15 minutes later than I have been at other times, so I got the 4 th floor instead of the 1st. And wouldn't you know, the elevators were out! The steps were steep and open and wound around. I had to stop and breathe at the 3rd floor. I also have vertigo from my meds and allergies, so it was a trip. All yesterday my legs hurt so badly I could not stand hardly and by the end of the day I could not get up off the couch! It did finally dawn on me it was the stairs. I can not believe my legs, knees and back hurt so badly. I guess I need some stairs to climb to exercise!!
Today I am staying with my friend. She has hospice coming, they made the decision this week. She has a third tumor growing in her brain, and the 2nd has regrown into an area they can not do anything with. It is awful. She is one of the warmest and sweetest people I know. It is just unbelievable she was fine one day, then dying the next, though she has lived a little over a year with this. Though probably not much longer. Her first husband had died of
cancer, as had her current husband's first wife. So hard to believe they are going thru this all again. So true when they say how important our health is when we are older.
Thanks for posting all the humor!! Some really great ones!!
Hope you feel better soon!! ..Jan

I would have hated that parking garage too and I climb up and down a flight of stairs multiple time a day here in the house.
I hope Your legs get better quickly.
That darn cancer, I believe it is caused by at least three things. Environment, Genetics and Virus or Bacteria.
Health is very important to me
Be Strong

Former Los Altos baseball player sues coach after being benched, claims bullying
By Hayley Munguia, The San Gabriel Valley Tribune
Posted: 08/14/17, 3:13 PM PDT Updated: 15 hrs ago
A former Los Altos High School student and baseball player is suing the school district and his former coach for hundreds of thousands of dollars because the coach repeatedly benched him.
According to the suit, the school’s head varsity baseball coach, Gabriel Lopez, repeatedly refused to let 17-year-old Robbie Lopez, no relation, play throughout his senior year. The suit claims this constituted a pattern of “harassment and bullying.”
The teenager and his parents are seeking $150,000 or more, according to the suit.
Hacienda La Puente Unified athletic director Andrew Formano and assistant superintendent of human resources Jill Rojas both said they could not comment on the matter. Gabriel Lopez did not respond to a request for comment.
