News flash- I walked around my little 0.25 mi block! It's been a long time. Waiting until i felt like it was clearly not working for me...so i did it in spite of my feelings. I also climbed a tree and used my hacksaw to remove two very large branches, and then chopped them into pieces. And i took Duke & Lucy to get their shots, then got gas (now available but 50 cents/gal more expensive), and groceries. I tried to get my annual vehicle inspection but there was an hour wait. I have lifestraws here...just in case. Hope you're enjoying your weekend!1

Good morning!
Rodger, all good articles. Still catching up! We have lots of Fla. people. The major roads heading to us and north are very crowded. I am surprised you have folks up there unless they are staying with relatives. The more west path the more I get. But just 30 mile an hour winds at times and an inch to 2 of rain for Monday-Tues. . Not much.
Eastern 1/4 th Al. is more 70 mile an hour gusts to 3-4 inches rain at the moment. Subject to change.
I remember a time no one would shoot a kid or a pregnant lady. Almost remember when it was more rare for a woman to get shot....
Interestings about all the rations and water supplies!!
Val, good for you walking! That climbing is ambitious! I hope you do not hurt later from either. I am glad you have some gas now!!
The weather is just beautiful today!!
Still trying to lose till I get back to where I was..lol!!

Hi Val
I stopped and bought a whole Gallon of Regular for the Lawnmower this morning. It has dropped somewhat from last weeks high. Sixteen Cents cheaper so would be nice if I needed it for the car. However I only have 62 miles on the last fill-up which was last month I do not do lots of driving these days, I do some of my Shopping while walking which reduces the miles driven significantly. I can and often do walk by a Grocery Store, Produce Store, Dollar Store where I get my Quarts of milk and convenience stores. I do pass a Bagel store too, However they make Jumbo Bagels so I pass on by even though they are so tasty. Just like I passed on the free Donut yesterday and today when I swung by the Dunkin Donut for my One coffee a day.
I have a LifeStraw coming from Amazon in the next day or two since I went for the free shipping.
It appears that You have been Busy too.
I noticed this on the Home Page.

Good morning!
Well, we got about a half an inch rain during the nite. Woke to slight breeze. Windy at times here with gusts around 30 mph. I had the house open and it was lovely. However it got too cold in the house, lol and I had to shut my living room window come noon.. I still have the back of the house open. It is only 71 in the house, but with the breeze, chilly! We are actually cozy at the moment. I do worry about the trees, as they are very tall and nearing their life expectancy. Branches are okay, though I do have a few large ones, the dogs do not need to be under if they go. I spent part of yesterday securing the back yard movables.
Yesterday was a long day. I am glad I had signed in as I did not get back to MFP. I had to be a little early for church and class in the morning. Then church. I headed to Publix which was supposed to be open till 5 pm. and closed on Monday. Well, they panicked I think, or maybe felt their employees had to get gas or something, because they greeted people at the door with the news they had shut down. It was only 12 noon. I know their warehouses are in Fla. but not sure how that would affect food in Prattville, already in the store. Of course I understand closing Sunday and all for Publix in Fla, obviously.
So, headed for Winn Dixie. All smiles and no apparent panic. Decided to get gas as I was down to 1/3. Finally on my third gas station I put in $20.00 as there were worried people behind me, hoping for gas. It was $2.69 for reg. but $2.89 for mid grade. I had 3/4 tank, so topped it off at at little gas station about a third of a mile from the house. I paid $3.99 a gallon for another 10 gallons. It was worth the price for peace of mind, though as I had small group in Montgomery last night.
Loved the humor. I would hope you would not get upset due to a bandwidth on your equipment. What is wrong with people.... Interesting on the dark meat chicken. I suppose it could be true, though it really is not as harmful as red meat. Probably the red meat eaters also eat other unhealthy carbs too in great quantity, which might not skewer the test, but that would be harmful. Well, that's me with the fat pockets in my abdomen and arms!!
North Korea is just scary. They are not bullies or mean... the leaders are psychopaths..IMO.
Three more pounds and I will be losing where I am grafted on MFP. Then to lose the hard 8 lbs or so to get back to losing new stuff. I am watching daily to not regain anything lost...
Wind gusts picking up now and cold slightly more steady light rain. Trees really moving, but under just scary.. I think ... it is 2 pm, so we are not in the main stream yet..not much traffic... Take care. The rt. eastern quad of the storm is way worse than us. GA. and S.C. getting the worst. Tonite will be interesting after dark. We have power for most of Al. so that is good!
Take care! Great job walking and love self control with the eggs, and potato hot plate. ...Jan

I walked over to the repair shop and picked up my car, The passenger side Window regulator broke Sunday. I noticed that the window had slipped down and that it did not go up or down. I ended up pushing it up and using Painters tape to hold it up as Painters tape leaves no residue when removed.

I know their warehouses are in Fla. but not sure how that would affect food in Prattville, already in the store. Of course I understand closing Sunday and all for Publix in Fla, obviously.
I was wondering how the now Tropical Storm Irma was treating You. It appears that parts of Georgia have lost power and I saw a post from that area that their power had blinked off and on multiple times.
It was 62 on the front porch when I returned back home from picking up the car and 69 in the Living Room.
I did not get all my steps in, maybe later on...
I did walk a circuitous route to get my car and I was still a 1/2 hour early so I ate breakfast nearby the repair shop. I had two Eggs scrambled well, a small amount of the Hone Fries and toast. I had told them to cut the amount of the Potatoes back to around 1/4 and it appears they forgot Oh well most of them stayed on the plate which is a waste to me.
I guessed that You went elsewhere from the Publix
Locally I have three Grocery Stores nearby and soon a 4th when the Whole Foods opens up on the Highway. Which excludes mention of the Asian Food Center and the closer Indian Food Store and of course the convenience stores.
I would not have paid the $3.99 a gallon as that sounds like Price Gouging. I wonder if they'll get punished for it.So, headed for Winn Dixie. All smiles and no apparent panic.

Some people do panic...

That North Korean leader is just nuts. OTOH I have heard that he is on steroids for some health condition and how much Steroid rage is affecting his judgement I do not know.

Hi Val2 -
Good Morning,
It is grey and drizzly at times. But we should be returning back to normal. In a day or two we will be back up in the 90's. But it is like fall now and cool and great!! No wind any more. I have branches down, but not bad.
Boy, I would be heart sick if I was in Kentucky and losing my pension. Such mismanagement, and I bet they made money, and will be fine. Maybe they need to go to jail. Interesting about Tesla cars. Have consumers had a break since Ralph Nader is not helping anymore I can't remember if he retired or not, or died. Guess I will google after this.
Georgia has had a few deaths. I saw an article that two children died after being rescued from Fla. The families of both were in car accidents, separately where they had moved to rescue. I thought it was Ga. but it could have been upper Fla. I can't remember now. Pictures are just heartbreaking. Pictures from Savannah and Charleston were very surreal as the water moved in.
Glad you got your car back. How wonderful to live and be able to walk to so many conveniences!!
Take care!! Hope Jose decides what it is doing and does not head to you guys!

If I am remembering correctly from last nights news, two of the deaths out of the three Irma related deaths were due to Trees falling on them.
The poor people they interviewed were hard to watch.
It is nice having things close, OTOH the lower price Grocery Store does need to be driven too.
It is my hope that Jose keeps meandering around in the Atlantic ocean too.

Hi Val2 -
Good morning!
Still rather chilly today, but the sun has peeped out once or twice. It is wet and soggy out. We had about 2.5 inches of rain from Irma. I am thinking it will be that way several days. The house is chilly enough I almost could turn it on for a blast of heat. But I won't!!
Interesting stories above. Irma definitely became less disastrous than it could have been. Luckily!!
I only use the cleaning for exercise when I do a little above and beyond my normal. But sometimes, I need it, especially if I go over calories by a small amount, lol! Vacuuming with my machine is a definite aerobic workout. It is a pain in the butt. They don't make them like they used to, that's for sure!!
I have been going thru the house doing some repairs and throwing away. Always good.
There was an article that 550,000 cars were headed back thru Al. to Florida yesterday. That might explain the gas shortage here some!
Take care and don't work too hard! Great job on being consistent! ...Jan1 -

Hi Jan
It is probably more comfortable than high heat and humidity
It does appear that the South got lucky compared to the original doom and gloom predictions.
That does seem like a likely reason for the gas shortage

The fanged, faceless sea creature that washed ashore during Harvey has been identified
By Lindsey Bever September 14 at 3:35 PM
A sea creature identified as a possible a fangtooth snake-eel on a beach in Texas City, Tex.
Tighe, an eel expert, told Earth Touch News that the creature was most likely a fangtooth snake-eel, or Aplatophis chauliodus.
Fangtooth snake-eels live in burrows 100 to 300 feet down in waters stretching from the Gulf of Mexico to French Guiana, “with only snout and eyes exposed, darting to feed on other fishes and crustaceans,” according to FishBase, an online database for fish species.
Other possibilities? Bathyuroconger vicinus or Xenomystax congroides.

Good morning,
That is amazing about the sea creature, we never know what lurks in the depths of our oceans. I for one felt rather sorry for him/her.
Well, I am sure Al is not a state with compliance for drivers licence ID. We are so behind in everything else!! It will sure make travel difficult if they do not get a handle on it. Another mess, lol!
I am not sure we can afford to have robots taking over people's jobs. Where do the people go? I guess it makes a good employee though with no health insurance or compliance problems.
I ran around all day yesterday and am feeling it today. I am pooped! I am cooking some today for someone that had a baby. And maybe going for vietnamese food with my daughter is she feels okay. She was a little under the weather, but that food is comforting, especially the pho and stew, so we will see.
Take care, great job walking! And logging in!! Jan 1 -

I have a suspicion that where we are going is a guaranteed Income from the government and a somewhat destroyed by overload medical system when They finally get Medicare for all into law at some time in the future
I saw that You have been walking...
Am I being silly for keeping the two NS chicken soups on hand for when I feel poorly ?
Sometimes I feel like one of their dry cups. I boil water to make them and use more water than the cup suggests on many of them
Thank You for those Kind words

I have another foster dog, Prince..so i go for three walks a day. Ashamed to say my max w hills is 1/4 mile per walk. Too much stress on the lungs and heart carrying this extra weight. My kid is doing well in HS so far. I met four of her teachers yesterday...two were really wonderful, one okay, and I'm proud of myself that I remained polite to the other.

I posted more humor again this morning, enjoy
Hi
I did some walking this Morning and still + 0 Cents, Oh well. The temperature this morning was 68 on the news channel and 67 degrees on the front porch and back yard thermometer, humidity is still forecast to hang around for a few more days
The Sun is shining and the sky is currently cloudless, Temperatures are forecast to be above average today and for a couple more days as they have been for the last couple of days
Thursday I had my brother pick up some food from the hot foods section of the ShopRite. After he called with the selection I ended up with tender tasty Roast beef slices and some Slices of Pork Loin. When I looked at the receipt to see what I owed I noticed that one was 0.23 pounds and the other was 0.24 pounds. He could not have gotten closer if he had been trying which he was not doing The Pork Loin had a slice if a decent sized Mushroom in with it. I used them as a protein for Lunch and Dinner Friday.

Incentive, I used to have trouble walking around the block
Sometimes You just need to bite Your tongue as letting loose could have repercussions on others.
In what way was the other one bad? FWIW I know I ended up with my only B instead of a "A" when I told the teacher I took the class to learn how to Write not learn all about how wonderful Levi Company was. I should have kept my mouth shut
I notice that someone was looking at a menu before or after the photo

British police make 'significant arrest' in London subway terror attack
By Morgan Winsor, Sep 16, 2017, 7:49 AM ET
UPDATES: WHAT WE KNOW NOW
18-year-old man arrested Saturday in connection with terror attack on London tube.
ISIS has claimed responsibility for the attack.
An apparent bucket-bomb explosion rocked a London subway train Friday morning.
The terror attack is the sixth in Britain this year.
The blast sent 29 people to the hospital.
A manhunt is underway for perpetrators, with no arrests yet.
The threat level has been raised to "critical," meaning an attack is expected imminently.
Witnesses described a ball of flames and a loud explosion.
Police said the improvised explosive device used did not fully explode.
_______________________________________________________________
An 18-year-old man was arrested Saturday morning in Dover, England, in connection with Friday's London subway terror attack, which ISIS has claimed responsibility, police announced.
The man, apprehended by Kent Police in Dover's port area, was arrested under section 41 of the U.K.'s Terrorism Act, London Metropolitan Police said in a statement. The man remains in custody at a local police station. He will be transferred to a south London police station.
"We have made a significant arrest in our investigation this morning," Deputy Assistant Commissioner Neil Basu, Senior National Co-ordinator for Counter Terrorism Policing, said. "Although we are pleased with the progress made, this investigation continues and the threat level remains at critical."
Basu added, "“This arrest will lead to more activity from our officers. For strong investigative reasons we will not give any more details on the man we arrested at this stage.”

I had previously signed a permission slip that she could take college classes. But, NONE are shown on her school schedule...so, I figured with all their computer issues the schedule just didn't allow for that. Okay. While we werr walking around school meeting her teachers, this woman in the hallway starts chewing Em out for not doing her Psych work...my kid responded "I'm not taking psych." She replied "Yes you are." I jumped in "I didn't see it on her schedule." She replied "it's not on her schedule." I ask, "How would we know she is in the class or what she's supposed to do?" "She knows!" Seriously!!! Em's a freshman...I don't want to cause any issues for her. But that's ridiculous. Em said she'll go see the counselor Monday to understand what she is or is not taking.1

Good Morning!
Good to hear from you Val. That is a great picture of Em! Love the decor of the restaurant ,too. I am with you on that teacher, she sounds a little jaded and burn out! She may get better. If she is the teacher of that Psyc class, you know half of them are crazy as well!! If not, she may just be crazy on her own! She may be better as time passes... 
Love your foster dog!! He is a cutie, and seems to like his picture being took!!
Roger, good think you are not relying on those pennies and change you find for income! It has been a little sparse lately! Great job on your logging and walking as well! I used artificial sweeteners myself for 45 years at least. I am prediabetic. It may need to be in combination with other things I feel, but could have some validity. It probably at least messes with your system as many recent studies believe it tricks the body into believing there is sugar, but doesn't really deliver the same "benefits". Things that make you go hmmm....
Well, I be dead today. Finally distributed clothes we were trying to send to Pakistan to local charities. Took 4 hours and 4 carloads to do it. Thank goodness I had a great 12 year old as a helper! He helped load the car but I had to unload to several boxes. I was so tired and stiff when I came home, I took a 2 hour nap, then I went to lay on the bed to read and just straighten and elevate my legs and fell asleep for another 4 hours. I could really just go to bed again, but I am trying to summon the strength to get a shower. I do not want to hear the word clothes donations for a while!! I am just hoping I can walk into church in the morning, lol!.....
I am rather glad our trip is to Paris rather than London. Of course, it pays to be vigilant!!
Keep up all the good work!! ..Jan Headed towards humor, lol! 1 -

Hi Val
What a terrible attitude, How could Your Daughter know if no one tells here or puts it on the schedule
Good Luck with that issue.hope4change_val wrote: »Hi Jan. I spent Saturday assisting at the Grumpy Puppy Rescue garage sale. Between moving stuff, walking the dog, and the heat, i was wiped out.
Is that the official name, Grumpy Puppy Rescue ?
It does not sound like good marketing to me.
You must be having more heat than I. I am handling it as long as I do not get to many carbs which do make me feel the heat.
The have now made two arrests in England relating to the Bombing as of this mornings news,
I am sitting here listening to the twist dial kitchen timer ticking. I am using the other computer in the basement to capture 4 audio tapes and the timer is to let me know when to go down and stop the recording, turn the tape over and Start the next side
Good Luck

Hi Jan
I was in the .1 under Diabetic A1C for some years AKA Pre Diabetic. That got much better, into the normal reading when I started on NS and losing weight. I hope You can get Yours down with Diet too.
FWIW I use Truvia Sweetener to sweeten my cereal and some of the shakes need it too.
I also added it along with Maple Extract to the NS pancake mix when I scored a lot of that buying it from someone else on the old NS forums for pennies on the dollar when compared to the NS price. That made the pancake taste as if I had cooked it and then put some Maple Syrup onto it.
I do not know if it made it into the news You saw but they had two different terrorist attacks in France this week too. The Crazy Fanatics are everywhere sadly One was a man attacking with a Knife and the other attacking with a Hammer so be on Your guard and do not let them scare You away. I believe the goal in most if not all of these attacks are to cause financial damage.

France: Women injured in hammer attack
15 September 2017
A man is on the run after injuring two women with a hammer in Chalon-sur-Saône, in eastern France.
The women were allegedly assaulted, about 15 minutes apart, by a man just before midday on Friday.
Witnesses said the suspect shouted "Allahu Akbar" ("God is greatest" in Arabic) during the attacks.

[/b]Knife-wielding man 'attacks French soldier' at Chatelet metro station in Paris [/b]
By Rory Mulholland, in Paris, 15 September 2017 • 8:33am
A knife-wielding man attacked a soldier on patrol as part of an anti-terror operation in Paris but did not cause any injuries, police said.
The attacker allegedly lunged at the soldier at the central Chatelet metro station, one of the busiest transport hubs in the French capital, around 6.30am local time, making reference to Allah, a police source said.
