    Good morning!

    Every now and then I have weird problems, too. The other night I posted, and came in later and it was not there. It posted again as I must have come in a different way, but it was confusing! It doesn't take much to confuse me, lol!

    I do not envy those storms. I am a real hot house plant now! The thought of dealing with snow is enough to make me shiver! Especially cleaning dog feet with ice balls on them. In Germany that was a task with Sunshine, our cocker spaniel. Of course, the Germans love their dogs and they are allowed in many shops. It always got me free brotchen and pastry cause she was so pretty! :)

    You often make lots of trips with your walking! And rarely complain about being tired! I am a wussy older person it seems! :D

    N.Y. Might be a fun place to visit, but I would not want to live there.

    Mansanto has been getting away with damage to people and the environment for years. I do not know who can be strong enough to get to them. I think it was one of the Kennedy's that tried to stop them one , Ted, I think. Even he couldn't....Did you see the price of those hamburgers in the articles. Did the periods just not show on camera? I would not pay 45 and 90 dollars for a hamburger! :# I swear, looks like the price... :s

    Need to finish cleaning. I am having trouble getting motivated, lol! Thanks for the humor! :# ...Jan
    Hope you are fine, too, Val! <3

    Hi. I’m fine. Just working long hours. Roger-our lawns go dormant in winter too...it’s just that winter ends in February here. (A/C on since Feb). Still not liking the new boss, but I’m still employed, so hurray for that. My front yard is nicely presentable...my back yard (wood privacy fence) is dreadful! Weeds as tall as Duke (my 50 ponder). Still working but wanted to say HI!

    Before I forget, more humor is posted

    Hi
    I'm did not go walking today and Thus no cents. The temperature this morning was 32 on the porch. Since we need to go shovel more heavy snow later I decided to take the day off from walking :smiley:

    The weather forecasts regarding the storm on Wednesday appear to have been accurate. Parts of NJ had over 26 inches of snow. Here in Central NJ it looks like under a foot of that very heavy wet snow. The power went off an on a few times yesterday with the final outage having a duration of 5 hours. The Plows went through overnight and the end of the driveway looks like we never shoveled it :(
    When we were out shoveling there was a steady crack noise in the air and another branch would be breaking off the trees in sight and falling. between the tree across the street and next door there must have been 6 large branches break off. Those would be the ones 6 to 12 inches and too many to try and count of smaller branches.

    Hi Jan
    I was tired last night after shoveling the wet slushy snow at the end of the driveway.

    If You do not see Your post in the future try refreshing the page.
    N.Y. Might be a fun place to visit, but I would not want to live there.

    Mansanto has been getting away with damage to people and the environment for years. I do not know who can be strong enough to get to them. I think it was one of the Kennedy's that tried to stop them one , Ted, I think. Even he couldn't....Did you see the price of those hamburgers in the articles. Did the periods just not show on camera?

    NYC used to be a place I did not mind visiting, No more it has changed and not for the better.

    I did not notice a price on the hamburgers sorry.

    The idiots in NYC will pay $100 for a Meatball so who knows what they would do there.

    No problem, enjoy the humor.

    NJ took a a pounding from the heavy wet snow. Branches, Trees and power lines down all over the place. Listening to the battery operated radio after the power went it seem that over 1/4 million people were without power before I went off to get some sleep. At least we do not have a large tree branch across the driveway like I can see at a neighbors house. To the good side it did miss he cars which are now parked in.

    Congratulations, I saw these.

    Hi Val
    Lucky You, I'm looking out the window at what looks like a foot of snow. So many roads closed today.

    When You need to work still employed is good news.

    I do not put nearly as much energy into the back yard beyond Mowing what passes for grass back there.

    Hi. I had a healthful and yummy dinner: tofu and zucchini. Good news at the dentist...no cavities plus no visible damage from my week of teeth clenching during sepsis-fever week. After that, my teeth hurt so horribly that I thought I would have to have them all removed. Luckily they recovered and no longer hurt.

    Good morning!

    Val, that must have been pretty bad for your teeth to hurt so much! I am glad everything turned out good then, and at the dentist, too! Supper sounded good! And I love zucchini! :)

    Roger, I do not envy your shoveling, especially the wet heavy snow! That is a job! Very wise to skip the walk IMO!

    That was quite interesting about the film found from the S.F. earthquake. I have seen another film and pictures from it, and find it fascinating. Which is kinda bad as it is a disaster. I guess we will have to be watching for space junk in a few weeks. That is kind of mind boggling! Be my luck.... I guess the tourists usually see the better parts of town seeing N.Y. Iy is sad to see some of the old neighborhoods go to ruin. I have seen pictures on google where my Grandparents lived, and some of the houses are kept up. But many are broken and abandoned on the street. So sad. The old bakery building is still standing but it is abandoned and graffiti written all over it. It was beautiful when I was growing up. :'(

    I had Thai food with my daughter, and barely squeaked by on calories. Might skip weighing Friday! :#

    Hope you all have a great day, and stay safe!! ...Jan

    More Humor, Enjoy

    Hi
    I'm back from walking again and no cents. The temperature this morning was 32 on the porch.
    The weather forecasts regarding the storm on Wednesday appear to have been accurate. Parts of NJ had over 26 inches of snow. Here in Central NJ it looked like under a foot of that very heavy wet snow however the local cable news channel showed 22 inches in a nearby town

    You would not want snow like we got, It was a heavy wet snow and at the end of the driveway where the plows threw up a mound it also got waterlogged and super heavy.

    I did go out walking for a short distance today, the only decent route was walking in the road so for safety I only boomeranged up for coffee and back home. Even though I only went a few blocks I had to reverse course and choose an alternate route due to a tree across the road where I usually walk when heading that way.

    I hope My Brother and I have no problems with the three stops planned for today. I will be riding along as two of the three are ones I need to make also. Stop 1 his doctor for a quick blood test, Stop 2 pick up the new eyeglasses. Stop 3 the Shoprite Grocery Store. I am thinking of having him stop at Wendy's since I believe they still have their Double stacker on sale for $1, That would be two 1/8 pound hamburger patties and a slice of cheese. I plan to throw out the Bun and substitute the low calorie and low carb bread. Add in the Vegetables from the freezer and a Apple and Voila a complete meal.

    Back in the 90s I drove through East Orange where I was in Grade School and High School and it used to be a nice area then. Now it was boarded up buildings and Graffiti and dirt and debris. So I know what You are saying, it was so sad.

    I went and Picked up a Pad See Yew Lunch Special and a Large Thai Salad for later and had those as my meals for the day. It was Tasty too.

    I did notice this:

    Good morning.

    I did not do too well today! I got into the Lays potato chips! >:) I always get a taste for them, especially after A time of doing well! I was over calories though not by too much. I could have been worse. I don't doubt you burned that many calories shoveling. How long did it take you all to shovel? Don't miss the snow here t all!

    Val, I can't believe you have had your air on already. How hot did it get there? I did not realize you all were that warm! Hope you are doing well!

    I almost got the Pad See Yew at the Thai place. I never had that. Maybe I will get it next time. What was in your Thai salad? Just curious... :)

    I turned down dinner with my daughter (Chinese) tonite as I was just too tired to get out. I would say it was good for the diet, but then I succumbed to those chips, lol!

    Noon is our get together on Sat. A real banquet. I may be in trouble. I made potato salad to take. Hopefully they will like it. They are funny about their potato salad down here. Sometimes they get on the pickle relish, mayo and eggs here and don't try other stuff. I make mine with miracle whip, mustard,vinegar and sugar, celery, and onion and eggs. Potato of course. We will see... :#

    I have indeed posted even more humor

    Hi
    I'm back from walking again and no cents. The temperature this morning was 31 on the porch. The walking was not that easy since even in the areas where the sidewalks were shoveled they did not all have cutouts at the curb to cross the streets. Some busy driveways were sheets of ice too.

    My Brother and I were out doing four stops yesterday. Lots of damaged trees all over the area. The Decorative trees in the ShopRite parking lot had lots of damage.

    The scale was nicely lower than yesterday morning, again, It seems that the "Time-restricted eating" combined with a 100% NS plan is working really well so far.

    Two elderly gentlemen from a retirement center were sitting
    on a bench under a tree when one turns to the other and says: 'Slim, I'm 83 years
    old now and I'm just full of aches and pains. I know you're about my age.
    How do you feel?'
    Slim says, 'I feel just like a newborn baby.'
    'Really!? Like a newborn baby!?'
    'Yep. No hair, no teeth, and I think I just wet my pants.'


    Three old guys are out walking.
    First one says, 'Windy, isn't it?'
    Second one says, 'No, it's Thursday!'
    Third one says, 'So am I. Let's go get a beer..'


    Morris , an 82 year-old man, went to the doctor to get a physical.
    A few days later, the doctor saw Morris walking down the street with a
    gorgeous young woman on his arm.
    A couple of days later, the doctor spoke to Morris and said, 'You're really doing
    great, aren't you?'
    Morris replied, 'Just doing what you said, Doc: 'Get a hot mamma and be cheerful.''
    The doctor said, 'I didn't say that.. I said, 'You've got a heart murmur; be careful.'

    Hi Jan
    I love those potato chips too, That is why I buy them only when I can buy them in individual packages. That size is a reasonable calorie count even when You eat the whole bag, A reasonable amount less than 200 calories.

    They sell that size at the Grocery Store next to the Hot foods and Salad bar area.

    How long did we shovel ? Over the two days we were out there shoveling the heavy wet snow for over 4 hours.

    The Thai salad is pretty much a regular salad, what makes it so tasty is the Peanut Salad Dressing.
    I turned down dinner with my daughter (Chinese) tonite as I was just too tired to get out. I would say it was good for the diet, but then I succumbed to those chips, lol!

    Noon is our get together on Sat. A real banquet. I may be in trouble. I made potato salad to take. Hopefully they will like it. They are funny about their potato salad down here.

    Well TBH it would not be much of a Potato Salad without Potatoes :wink:
    BTW do they make Macaroni Salad much down south where You are ?
    A easy Macaroni salad option would be to boil elbow macaroni to slightly Aldente and then use the same sauce for both it and the Potato salad. Normal Potato Salad around here would be Mayo, Eggs optionally and Sweet Relish to taste.

    While I was walking I took a different route for safety as I needed to stay on the roads for much of the walk. Wires and trees are still down where I was walking :(

    It seems as if tomorrow's previously forecast storm is now scheduled to arrive Monday overnight into Tuesday with some snow in the forecast.

    It’s 87 degrees here today (im not heat-tolerant). Tomorrow I’ll be picking up a new foster dog, Sammy. vpv9h214gmgy.jpeg
    Hi Val
    My heat tolerance seems to be tied to how many carbohydrates I eat, for hot weather I need to keep them to a minimum :smile:

    Good Luck with the New Foster Dog

    Good morning!

    Love Sammy! He looks like a sweetheart! It is great you can get your dogs to get along. May is so protective, I am afraid to even foster another dog. Dog whisperer I guess I'm not, lol! You ARE hot,Val! I had no idea!

    Well, no diet day today. had a lot of goodies at our get together and polished off the rest of my potato salad, which was unfortunately a lot of calories. I am sure this put me back a wee and a half.

    I am cooking for small group too. not a healthy week-end! Loved your 3 jokes Roger, and I identified! :#

    Rain all tomorrow. We need it... Nobody work too hard! ...Jan
    Hi Jan
    On the good side a protective dog is better than one that would let you be harmed.

    I am keeping my fingers crossed that I can compensate for the Breakfast I ate while walking.
    I had Two Eggs Scrambled well with Whole Wheat toast, a slice of Pork Roll, Slice of Ham, 2 pieces of Bacon, Sausage and Home Fries. I brought the Sausage home for my brother to use in his breakfast as I prefer the small breakfast links and not the Fat Sausage link they use with that breakfast.

    The Jokes are not new jokes but still funny so I used them. I'm glad You enjoyed.

    Wish me luck for the rest of the day.
    All Diet and no Treats gets very hard in the long run.

    I did see that You are being consistent with Your Logging

    Good morning!

    Cold there. I did terrible again today, but back on the ball again in the morning. Too much of a good thing! Or many good things. Rain Rain here. I haven't checked the gauge but probably at least 5 inches. It is wet! I was not offended by Joy B.'s remark because I stopped watching The View a long time ago. They are payed to spout their opinions, which are no more important than mine, and often less informed. It was good in the beginning, but I think it was ruined a long while ago. When Barbara Walters left it was doomed. They are not real people and I got tired of them badmouthing and bickering. It did not bother me, because I never knew it, watched it or cared. They can all smoke that, lol! The pictures on the Argentina farm are pretty awful. Now there is something to be upset about! I hope they are not genetic's gone wrong as Argentina harbored some of WW2 nazis "genius" after the war. Pesticides are bad enough. Scary!
    So sorry you had such destruction too. Some of the pictures have been pretty bad and unbelievable coming out of the area. So sorry! :/
    Careful walking the area! ...Jan P.S. Yummy breakfast! ;)

    And more humor, No real links from tomorrow

    Hi
    I'm back from walking again and no cents. The temperature this morning was 29 on the porch.
    So far they are still forecasting snow tonight into tomorrow :(

    The scale was nicely lower than yesterday morning, again, It seems that the "Time-restricted eating" combined with a 100% NS plan is working really well so far.

    Hi Jan
    If You fall off the diet horse, climb back into the diet saddle is the thing to do and I am sure You will do better.

    5 inches, Yuck.

    I was offended by the remark since that comes from the supposedly tolerant ones. It seems they only tolerate their own viewpoint :(

    Argentina had lots of High level Nazis after the war, I watched one called finding Hitler and they did trace Mengele to that area .

    Have a Nice Day

    Good morning!

    You are in the throes of winter, looks and sounds like! The wind this morning is terrible. I should have looked at the weather this morning before typing here. I swear it is like 25 miles an hour and with the dampness it is cold!! I did not want to get out of bed this morning and ran to heat the house 1 degree before I did anything else, lol. I keep it at 72 degrees during the day and turn it to 71 at nite. At least now in the weird spring we are having. My house stays cool. Great in the summer, rough in the winter, for me at least. The hot house human! :#

    I caught up on all the humor! I had really gotten behind. It made for a great morning, by the way! Thank you! :)

    I feel shell shocked by the week and the week end. Too much running around and things to do. I think that might account for the poor job on the eating front. This week is much kinder, so I love it. Especially today. Little to do, and I am loving it. I am just sitting with my coffee and the puppy and enjoying it! Funny how Mondays is now my favorite day, when it is traditionally the worst day for most working people. As the rains came in late last nite in waves, I was so thankful I was not dressing for work, and worrying about driving. So, so thankful.! :)

    I guess I was so offended by the view, I never watched it again...understand your feelings!

    Terrible article about the slug paralyzing that youth. While I am not in the habit of eating slugs, it seems a terrible thing to happen and I was not aware of the pesticide danger from it. Glad it was not on any weird food thing I might have...I think I am safe on the score. I would find it very offensive to eat something that was living. I am also a little more squeamish the older I get. I used to eat cornish hens all the time stuffed, and they are so tiny now, they are like eating small birds, and I just cannot do it. I know, that is what they are...but it never bothered me before. I know...strange and ironic. I can still eat around whole crawfish and shrimp, but it tales a lot more concentration than when i was younger and we lived in La. Ha ha! My meanderings should keep me on my diet today! :D

    Val, hope all is going well with Sammy! Bless you for being such a blessing to animals! <3 ...Jan

    Humor once again, Enjoy

    Hi
    I'm back from walking again and no cents. The temperature this morning was 35 on the porch.
    The forecast for snow today has come true, It was a light snow falling when I left and by the time I returned to the house the snowflakes were much larger.

    Yesterday was a slow day for me, Sunday we roasted and sliced 1/2 of a whole pork loin, the other half was roasted Monday later. 1/2 unseasoned for me and 1/2 with Montreal Seasoning. Monday the second 1/2 of the pork loin was vacuum sealed and is now residing in the freezer. It is so handy having a slicer even if the cleanup is a nuisance.

    I shall be having a Ore-Ida "Just Crack a Egg" for breakfast. I decided to try something new and it caught my eye when it was being advertised which is rare for me.

    Today we get lucky here in NJ, According to the Weather report I saw before heading out most of the Snow will miss NJ with only 1 or 2 inches falling here.

    The scale was lower, It seems that the "Time-restricted eating" combined with a 100% NS plan is working really well so far.

    Hi Jan
    So far the wind has stayed away except for a light breeze, later on it should become breezier.
    You keep the house lower than I do. I have not changed the Thermostat setting a a couple of years and the house runs at 74 degrees day or night. I feel Like Chilly Willy as seen here.

    I can understand Your feeling that being overloaded leads to overeating.

    FWIW as I see it all the days are the same now that I am retired :smiley:
    It is so nice to be able to look out at bad weather and know I do not have to go out into it.

    The slug one was just so weird and the reason for that happening to him is just so sad. OTOH the kids eating Tide Pods for a challenge ???

    Have a Good Day and Stay Warm and Dry

    Time gets away from me. I went to pick up Sammy, but he was do settled in there that i let them continue fostering. He’s gorgeous and trained...must have belonged to someone. He looks sad like he’s waiting for them. She lives in the country where cattle dogs are much more popular than jn the city. Thanks for the compliment Jan. I’m not like the Dog Whisperer where he can walk a new dog into his pack. I first keep the new dog separated from mine, then introduce one on one, often with a walk to meet out front. Work is taking all my energy. Im not feeling bad but not good either. I feel so far behind in life...haven’t even gathered my stuff to do taxes. Take care.

    Good Morning!

    Well, I have gathered the income tax, Val, but not worked on it. I have less going on, so you are not so bad! Of course, Roger has his back already, lol! That overachiever! :) Keep eating well, and get some rest every day, in spite of that schedule!! I hate when dogs seem sad and waiting for their previous owners. He looks happy in his picture though. I hope he finds just the right home!

    Roger, caught up on the articles, too. Very interesting on the remains of the warrior found in Greece. Imagine finding a treasure like that intact. How amazing. Okay, Now I have a tentative date for that satellite falling. I feel so much better...lol! What a thing to happen!

    I hope the damage at your town is getting fixed. Sounds like you are getting out in spite of that and the weather! I had not heard of the Ore-ida crack an egg. Sounds interesting. Did you like it? We do the macaroni salad down south too. With the same dressings. you see more potato salad, but mac salad is good too. I love it! I cannot believe I put back so much weight in like 3 days. :'( Hopefully it will come off quickly too, though not as quickly as putting it on, I am sure! Bummer... >:) Temptation...and leftovers...

    Love Chilly Willie! Keep warm up there! Happy you are losing! :) ...Jan Freezes at nite here... :|

    Humor has now been posted

    Hi
    I'm back from walking again and 1 cent. The temperature this morning was 32 on the porch with a brisk breeze. Yesterdays snow ended nice and early and there was no accumulation. For today's walking the sidewalks and streets were much better than they have been the last few days.

    I enjoyed the Crack a Egg meal FWIW.

    The scale was nicely lower than yesterday morning, again, It seems that the "Time-restricted eating" combined with a 100% NS plan is working really well so far.
