Hi JanGood morning!!
Roger, you are right! 40-some and 50 degrees is cold, lol.
It has just been so long since we had that, I can't remember. We had too mild a winter last year. That is not too far from freezing. We always had a snow flurry around Halloween in "the olden days" in Ohio when I was growing up!
The poor dogs are just starting to feel better from their one day left in boarding. I have to take them tomorrow afternoon for our trip. I am the cartoon heel....
I can not recall any Snow for Halloween.
Hopefully the Dogs can handle it.
That could cause some irate viewers.I am envisioning someone watching sports and changing channels in the middle of something important due to their hand gestures, if you follow my drift...ha ha!! Interesting on the blood donors. I can not give blood anymore. The time I was in Europe was during the mad cow disease problems in England. Because some of the commissaries bought meat from Europe and England in addition to the US, I can not donate in case I was infected, as there is no way to test for it being such a long term disease with long term gestation. Bummer.....
The public domain books were interesting. While I have heard of it, I did not hear of that formatting...
I did not know it could linger like that, I thought it happened and not with a delay.
I am feeling OK, I was feeling the effects of the Chinese Take Out I had yesterday. Today I need to get back at 100% NSHope you are feeling 100% now. Especially with the change of weather!
Val, I just love that puppy!! I am so impressed you integrating your dogs all the time. It has taken 2 years for May May to learn to go around Chester and not bowl him over, lol! I hope the teacher meeting goes well.
Too bad Em can not switch teachers. I agree with Roger about teachers like that...how unfortunate... and what a bummer dealing with her when you are sick. I hope you can get a little rest and start to feel better soon...
I don't think I am taking my computer or I-pad to Europe, so I will probably not check in for about a week. I will lose my days logging in, but as I have gained back some of the weight, maybe starting over would not be so bad. Possibly if I have time, I could get my daughter in law to log me in, but not sure it is worth the trouble...
Hope everyone takes care!! I am doing my oil change and maintenance (for the car, Roger, lol, ) this afternoon. More running!! ..Jan 
Nothing wrong with keeping the days running, OTOH if it is not you doing it ??
Have a Good Vacation if You do not get back on.

This is a different teacher than last year...high school is separate campus. But the principal from middle school is now here (which was good for proof that I don’t whine just because). I made notes to organize my thoughts but accidentally left them home. At 7:30 am, i was at school and requested meeting with principal, that teacher and the 504 (hearing impairment counselor). I did well...I didn’t say anything i regret. She actually admitted to some of the things i said she said...and the principal dropped his head and then whispered to her...you can’t say that to the children. It was a VERY long day w multiple email and calls with many employees. Here’s the miracle...it helped! I have not seen Em this relaxed and happy about school this year! The 504 ladies met with her and talked about how yo approach an online college course...find the syllabus, print it, mark dates on her planner, etc. she finally felt like someone heard her concerns. At work i did huge and amazing things including identifying a critical loophole in a website that would have violated multiple laws. The IT guy and corporate lawyers were appreciative and requested me to stay involved to identify the best fix. Another department requested my support 1/2 time, that will be a big change...a little scared, but we’ll see. I mowed my backyard! And feel like things are in order...which is a nice feeling.
Hi Val
If I said You should not feel bad missing the cold.
Congratulations on a successful meeting. Hopefully that teacher has learned something from it.
It does sound as if the meeting was a huge success.
That is the way to make Yourself important for the long run.
Congratulations

Jan- Have an awesome and safe vacation!!!! Roger- enjoy your warm day. I lived in Ohio for 8 years and Indiana for 4 years, so i do remember. Texas winters are extremely convenient with no snow shoveling or bundling up needed. But the heat is tiresome. Puppy Cooper appears healthy...energy and appetite are in full swing! Have a super day!1
-
Good morning !
Just chilling Thurs. morning with the pups before they go in to boarding. It is warm here too, but the nite was quite pleasant and cool!
Val, so excited about the school meeting and also your work!! Sounds like you had a miraculous day! I just love days like that!! Glad Charlie is doing better too. He looks like such a sweetheart! Active, but sweet, lol!
I am feeling a little worse for wear myself. I had too many carbs yesterday, and always feel it the next day too. So much for going to France feeling healthier! I will probably do better there, lol! I keep thinking I have forgotten something important, lol!!
Take care all. I expect you all to be good till I get back!! It appears I may miss the hurricane, I hope we are not on a tornado side with me being gone. We need the rain, though. I kind of like them inland here, but hope there is no damage. Leave it to me to miss one, lol... Hopefully I can catch the BBC in France! Will miss the articles and typing to you all! ..Jan 1 -
More Humor again, Enjoy
Hi

Hi Val
Nate did not hold onto it's hurricane status very long once it made landfall, luckily.
I Know I would not have wanted to be on that plane for that landing. Not to mention it is one of the largest flying passengers.
I know I was not happy this morning when I got on the scale, I had expected to be down from Yesterday and instead I was up a pound in one day. It has to be water retention from something I ate, at a guess the one home made Manicotti with ground beef mixed into the Ricotta Cheese.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manicotti
My brother made them using left over pasta, Ground beef and Cheese from the Lasagna he made Saturday. The Lasagna fortunately is scheduled to be Vacuum sealed into portions and frozen.
Good Luck with Your Mojo
Roger
Hi Jan2 -
Hi Riger-the temps up there really jumped back up. We’re still at 90 degrees. I enjoyed today...I authentically like spending time w my 14 yo. We went to lunch, then grocery shopping. Simple but we had fun. When we got home, she was spouting off tons of information about Hamilton, Jefferson, and Burr...with actual comprehension of why each did what they did. I was enthralled. When i was in school, history was my least favorite subject...I don’t remember ever hearing WHY...just dates and events..and I didn’t get it. I sat and asked her questions and she was awesome. Lots of fun with the puppy.1

Once again the Humidity has gone up from yesterday and is now in the oppressive range

I sort of enjoyed History in High School, I suspect it is completely dependent on the teacher.

Hi
I went walking this Morning, The temperature this morning was 68 degrees on the porch and 69 degrees on the cable channel and is now up to 71 degrees in the back yard. The Humidity is still up, And is now described as in the oppressive range and was also described as Tropical on last nights weather forecast
I had a 1 by 3 inch slice of the homemade Lasagna yesterday and it was delicious. My Brother used Ricotta cheese, Some Grated cheese, lots of Hamburger and Mozzarella Cheese. He also took a shortcut and used No Cook pasta which also avoided the problem of cooking the pasta or breakage. Then since he had plenty of Ricotta and some of the sheets of pasta left over from the Lasagna to make Manicotti.

Hi All!
Caught up on some of the readings - but SO tuckered out!! I hurt everywhere, even where it did not know I had nerve endings. The Louvre stairs killed me, as did the 9 hour plane ride home, plus an extra hour waiting to take off due to a passenger who did not make a flight. The investigating had them removing the luggage. Trip was awesome, so I will catch you up on Weds when I write. Going to sleep and sleep and sleep, lol....... 1 -
Hi. So glad you had a good vacation Jan! Roger-i understand how much humidity effects comfort. I spent four hours at the emergency vet—Oscar, my very favorite dog is extremely ill. He’s sick like Cooper (puppy) was last week. They wanted to spend $1,500 in diagnostics with zero treatment. I love him dearly but he’s 11 years and for his size, avg life is 10 years. I asked for just supportive treatment. I’ve spent the 3 hours since we got home, just loving him. He doesn’t appear in pain. He has no interest in food. Take care. Val0

I am sorry to hear about Oscar, That is why I could not handle having a pet these days, I would be devastated
Good Luck ?

Good Morning!
Val, I am so sorry that Oscar is not feeling well. It is rough when they get that way and do not want to eat. Sometimes I put some good lunchmeat like ham or salami in some water and simmer for about 10 minutes. Cool and feed just warm or really cool. That is what they do overseas sometimes. I had a dog that was kind of stoic, and tried some pedialyte also. I let her get a little too dehydrated, if I was to do it again. Watch Oscar's tongue. Maybe it is something he might rally. It is hard when they get old. Thinking of you!!
Roger, sorry you slept so poorly, hope you get caught up and are not coming down with something. The weather seems crazy everywhere. I had a lot of rain,but no damage. I went to get the dogs and could barely get them in I was so sore and exhausted. Luckily, I plan on doing little till Sunday.
My hours are a little messed up, and I can not believe the heat and humidity. It was great weather in Paris, cooler and fall like, in the 60's and 70. with the lows near 50. I could not believe Paris is so humid. I guess like here. It is often in the 70% range with little air or fans. Fixed by cracking a window and perfect cool pretty fast. You just have to be sure the birds do not get in- no screens there, lol!! Some of the biggest raven ever!
I hope things are better for all!! Val, kiss and snuggle Oscar for me please. I will be hoping things get better!!

Good morning!
May May woke me at 8:15 this morning, she got pet twice, and I rolled over back to sleep. Did not get up until 11:45 and could go back to sleep!! I also feel like I was hit by a mac truck. lol. Apparently the puppies feel like that too. We are just tired and chilling. I actually lost 4 lbs in Paris. All the steps, far too many. We saw a good bit of the louvre and its 9,ooo steps. I am still feeling that. They have a few people directing you, but not many. No water till you hit the cafe. We had lots of water and a yummy dessert there. Cheesecake and a to die for lemon creme on top of a cookie -cheesecake type crust. Ate with the birds on the roof top cafe. At night we took a glass covered boat down the Seine. Beautiful lights and buildings, topped with seeing the Eiffel tower not only lite, but twinkling in a million sparkling lights. Awesome. We had wine, champagne and dinner, including some caviar mousse, cheeses, breads, salad, meats and veggies, and tortes and a raspberry mousse for dessert. dinner cruise! We took a bike taxi thru Paris back to the hotel. Awesome again..
We shopped the next day, after having a really good breakfast of fruits, juices, breads, yogurt, eggs and sliced meats. Coffee of course. We then went back to the Eiffel tower, but Jenny chickened out on riding to the top. We just sat in the park near the bottom, and people watched, river watched, and then grabbed hot dogs and coffee from a vendor. Yummy again. We also hit Angelina's cafe for their world famous hot chocolate. Like a melted velvet candy bar in a cup, of course with spoonfuls of cream to add to the top. I had Quiche Lorraine and salad and Jenny had a chicken pot pie but in filo pastry that they add cream over the top when serving. More desserts!
The airplane ride was good going for me. I did not sleep though. Small seats. (Delta). the food was good, especially the cheese and fruit course. Okay 7 hours. Customs and security are actually Dante's 8th level of hell. He would have wrote it, but is still at airport. It took 4 hours standing to clear, and another almost 2 hours to find our luggage. And an hour to connect with our shuttle. Coming back, the flight was 9 hours, and delayed 1 hour after we got on the plane. The seats were tiny and hard, like sitting on a piece of wood. I lucked out the seat next to me was empty so I could move some, Kind of tortuous, but good food. ( Air France) Not enough water!!
So glad to be home. We stopped for dinner at a Red Lobster in Ga. and headed home. I will be unpacking forever...
And using Aspirin or tylenol..... although I could live in Paris, lol!!!

More Humor once again
Hi
I was out doing some walking this Morning, The temperature this morning was 51 degrees on the porch and 50 degrees on the cable channel. I did wear a sweatshirt and heavier gloves due to the cooler weather.
I did make it to CostCo yesterday for Kleenex, Frozen veges, Fruit and a Chocolate Protein Shakewhich was the only flavor in stock I also picked up one of their roast chickens as Protein.
Have a Great Friday

Hi JanGood morning!
May May woke me at 8:15 this morning, she got pet twice, and I rolled over back to sleep. Did not get up until 11:45 and could go back to sleep!! I also feel like I was hit by a mac truck. lol. Apparently the puppies feel like that too. We are just tired and chilling. I actually lost 4 lbs in Paris. All the steps, far too many. We saw a good bit of the louvre and its 9,ooo steps. I am still feeling that. They have a few people directing you, but not many. No water till you hit the cafe. We had lots of water and a yummy dessert there. Cheesecake and a to die for lemon creme on top of a cookie -cheesecake type crust. Ate with the birds on the roof top cafe. At night we took a glass covered boat down the Seine. Beautiful lights and buildings, topped with seeing the Eiffel tower not only lite, but twinkling in a million sparkling lights. Awesome. We had wine, champagne and dinner, including some caviar mousse, cheeses, breads, salad, meats and veggies, and tortes and a raspberry mousse for dessert. dinner cruise!

Wow, A Great vacation when You enjoy yourself and loose weight.
Congratulations.
I tried a fresh Chicken Pot Pie, Just heat and eat from the grocery store a while ago and the kindest thing I can say about it was that I was able to eat it, The NS non refrigerated Chicken pot pie is tastier and more diet friendly too.
You did not get everything out of a vacation if You come home full of get up and go IMO
The small seats and leg room which I have seen on news broadcasts are one of the reasons I do not plan to fly again, Add in a narrowed aisle compared to what I remember from my last flights coast to coast. If I had to fly again I would want a seat up by the bulkhead so there is no way a person in front of me could recline and further reduce my comfort. I will say that if I have to fly for some reason in the future I will have to not fly or be able to find the funds for first class.The airplane ride was good going for me. I did not sleep though.

4 hours to clear Customs is obscene, and that is the nicest thing I can say about it.
You did get lucky with the empty seat and I will say I am not completely surprised that Air France had good food.
Even when I was flying for vacations and other things I could see a decline in service and food quality.
I hope You enjoyed the food at Red Lobster. It is not somewhere I would go to eat as all of their TV Advertisements are aimed at people that eat seafood.
Have a Nice Day
