    Hi Val
    Sadly I suspect that Wipe-able may no breathe well when You are sitting on it in hot weather.
    Leather and a Dog may be a bad combination for many reasons.

    Hello!

    Another hot day...and kind of a lazy one. I went to lunch with a friend, and really did not do much when I got back. Well, I did pet May till my arm wanted to fall off!! :#

    Nice job walking Roger, even with the sprinkles and heat. My air is really running. It should be a glorious bill, lol!

    It is hard picking furniture when you have pets! I waited a long time to put in my tile that resembles hard wood flooring, and love the darker wood. While it cleans well, it was not a great choice with a dog that sheds white fur- enough for a second dog!

    I may never eat chip dip socially again...Interesting about the sweet and fat foods..Must be why chips are always my downfall, followed by pancakes and syrup when trying to diet... >:)

    Hope everyone has a great day!! ...Jan B)

    I posted more humor, Enjoy

    Hi
    I'm back from walking and no cents. The Temperature out the door was 71 degrees. Once again it was sort of comfortable outdoors while walking since there was a breeze. Then on the return leg the overdue rain appeared and I had to use the Disposable Rain Poncho. That made it less comfortable as the Poncho blocked the breeze, Oh well :(
    We were supposed to have rain overnight into the early morning, Instead it was bone dry when I left the house and the rain did not arrive until a little while after 5:30AM, and was over by 6AM, It was heavy once it started OTOH and could come back as it is dreary looking day out the window. Wednesday's high temperature was in the mid 80s.

    Hi Jan
    HHH weather does that to me, I get to where I do not want to do anything.

    That is one of the floorings I am thinking about for the kitchen floor. The removal of the old flooring is pretty much done, The Underlayment needs to come up and their is a layer of plywood under that which needs replacing in a damaged are and then the Subfloor needs securing to the joists to eliminate squeaks.

    Lucky me, I was never a Dip user so I missed that problem.

    I hear You with Pancakes, French toast and Even Toast with Jelly. If I am eating them out they always get Butter and Syrup for example.

    Have a Good Day

    Morning!

    Usually the early bird gets the worm- you got the shower! At least you had your poncho though!! I eat dip with people I know well and trust, lol! Still....lol!

    Sounds like a lot of work in the kitchen! Great that you can do that! I am very happy with my floor. It looks great and you cannot really tell it is not wood. It cleans very easily with just plain water and spills are no problem. Of course as with most hard tile- you drop something- it is gone! You do not have the pet problem, so that eliminates a good deal of work! When I bought it, I had 3 black dogs and did not have May, my white shedd-er. I still like the dark wood as opposed to light, just my preference! In my kitchen I have tile which is a terra cotta color. Looks like an Italian cafe. They are tile squares about 14 in x 14 in. Much harder to keep clean, FWIW!

    Loved the humor! I do not know how I get so behind, but I sure appreciate the laughs!

    Glad I do not own Tesla.... If people would not pay ridiculous prices for real estate, would it go down?... That is just criminal, really.. Glad they figured out the poor grey wolf. Sure did not help her any. For a 2-3 year old, she looked in poor condition, like she had had a rough time of it. :'(

    Still do not have a handle on my over doing my portions... :s

    I need to do some work today, since I have been lax!

    Take care all!! :) Be good!! ...Jan

    Hi Jan
    I was happy I had the Poncho, The drawback to using it is it cost money and is a one time item.

    Your Terra Cotta Tile sound a lot like the Quarry Tile used in McDonalds, Extremely durable and easy cleaning.

    What Color flooring is a matter we are tossing back and forth. Get flooring that shows all spills or hides them. Showing spills makes it easy to find, OTOH that looks messy :smiley:

    Regarding the humor, I do try...

    The problem is if You do not pay the prices for the real estate where do You live out there ?

    The Main Problem with Electric Cars as I see it is that they just shift the Pollution from producing the energy from the car to the power plant.

    Controlling Portions is easy, says the person that has the same problem.
    The solution is easy to say, hard to do, Only eat at home :wink:
    The other is carry a food scale when You go out to eat, Not likely BTW.

    Good Morning!

    Another hot one. We had some heavy showers that popped up yesterday. I did not have to water. Yay!! Surprised me though!

    Val, your couch is really nice! :) Is it a charcoal color or in a different color? I need a new couch rather badly. Just not there yet...Guess the S.C. trip is first, lol...

    I would like no mosquitoes! They like me.... :( They are so light I find swatting them hard, lol. They seem displaced by the air moving it takes to swat at times, lol....

    The guy stealing the cop car is something. I do not understand that mentality that makes their mind jump to these conclusions as the thing to do.....

    I finally caught up and watched all 14 seasons of Grey's Anatomy. It took a while. I did not actually realize the show is still ongoing. I like medical stories, though it becomes more a soap opera as time goes on. Still I will be hooked enough to watch to see what happens to the characters, as long as it is free, lol... It was so nice to watch a reg. 2 hour movie of something else. I watched USS Indianapolis with Nickolas Cage. Though not the greatest production, it was a very watchable movie. I am going to watch another starring Stacy Keech people recommended instead. I knew the story about the ship being sunk and the loss of life with the sharks. I did not know the politics behind it. Very sad..Well, I am behind all movie watching by a few years too. What happens when you do not watch stuff for 20 years...

    I am taking my car for an oil change and get them to even the air in the tires..Geez, technology. Either my old tires never leaked so, or I remained blissfully unaware. Sometimes the old cars were sure built better, considering the price tags of today's cars...

    Take care all!! Have a great day!! ...Jan

    P.S. I got a chuckle from the political joke...I would not post it in a store, but I do not mind laughing at it! Not much of a choice for President that year.

    Hi. Sofa is “slate” microfiber...looks charcoal in some light and chocolate in other light. Yes, I’ll use trin sheets as an easily washable cover. Puppy met adoptive family last night. Sounds like a very good fit. Only concern is two kids, including a boy under 2. Both parents were good about watching him and teaching him to treat the dogs gently. Meeting additional folks today. I’m already tired.

    Hi
    I'm back from walking and no cents. The Temperature out the door was 64 degrees. It was comfortable to slightly cool outdoors while walking since there was a breeze. Yesterdays weather forecast showed rain overnight into this morning and later today. It appears to have been erroneous as it was drying up outside when I left the house and it did not rain on me.

    Hi Jan
    You are not lucky, Yesterday and today were nicely cool. I am hoping that we get more rain as the rain overnight was not really heavy enough.

    No More Mosquitoes would be so good. I especially hate hearing that whine in my ears, By the time I feel them on my skin it is usually to late and I will itch later :(

    As I see it Crooks are often really dumb. Many times they do more work being crooked than honest work would require.
    I finally caught up and watched all 14 seasons of Grey's Anatomy. It took a while. I did not actually realize the show is still ongoing.

    I had watched it at the beginning when it was a doctor show and then it morphed into a soap and I lost any interest in it. How are You watching it for free ?

    The crop of movies have had no interest to me for years. The only exception would be the Harry Potter movies :smiley:

    I will say that the new tubeless tires are much better than the old Tube tires. Also the newer cars are actually more durable then the ones from the 50s for example.

    I bet You forgot to tell them You wanted new air in the tires to replace the old air :wink:

    Have a Nice Saturday

    Good morning!

    Oh, the 60's for temp! I think I remember!

    You are quite right! The movies put out now are pretty dismal, for the most part. I am especially disturbed at what often wins for a great pic for awards- and so many other movies are overlooked. Used to be award movies were worth buying always. TBH, most lately are barely worthy of watching...Grey's Anatomy almost everyone is gay now and they always have gay couples treated like 3x more than any traditional stuff. Amazing the agendas that Hollywood has pushed, including pushing movies that never have any God reference. Many of the older movies that predate the mid fifties always had a theme of gratitude and thanksgiving and respect to a higher power even in tragedy. No wonder people have such a narcissist attitude now days. Between that and the video games, hard to believe we raise anyone sane...

    You are right! I had forgotten how much trouble tires with tubes were! I am still unconvinced about the newer plastic cars and their longevity. My car has worn places and the paint comes off very easily. You expect some dings, but I am really careful. The slightest touch can peel it away. They are so light it is amazing kids learn to drive safely. You can not take your eyes from the road hardly enough to read street signs. Forget looking at something interesting for a few seconds, lol...

    I did have my oil changed, tires looked at, 20,000 mile check up and all around look that I am good for travel.. and coffee. And it was free under warranty. That was good- I like free... :#

    I watched the Stacy Keech film about the Indianapolis. I thought it was more real seeming, with little made up facts to "hold interest". I think it was called Night of the Shark. I want to watch the true account put together by survivors. It is free on Amazon at the moment.

    Technically, I guess I did not watch Grey's Anatomy for free as I pay $7.00 a month for Netflix. However I did watch 14 seasons of that, as well as a few movies, and other series for that $7.00. I FELT it was free!!! LOL!! :)

    Val, sounds like good prospects for your pup! That is just wonderful! <3

    Get some rest all! Do not work to hard- except on eating good stuff for your bodies!!

    I'm back from walking and no cents. The Temperature out the door was 68 degrees. As it has been for the last couple of days it was comfortable to slightly cool outdoors while walking since there was a breeze. As I was walking I was hit by a few small drops of water and around the mid point of the walk it turned into a light drizzle that soon ended.

    Hi Jan
    Sixties should be nice for You. Did Your area get any of the bad weather I was seeing on the Saturday news broadcasts ?

    If I said Hollywood has gone way to the extreme left and is now pushing an agenda that I do not agree with. Much of what is on TV anymore is also very political. Magazines too. Look at this link for example.

    Free is a real good price :smiley:

    Good morning,

    Val, you made me tired just listening to what you did. I wish I was intrepid enough to trim May's nails. I can not make myself do it- I am always afraid I will hit a vein. Who got the dog? The family with the child or the other. I know he is ecstatic- and he is so stinking cute!! Loved his picture. Who was the doggie behind you? :)

    I probably blew the 2 lbs with guest lunch at church today! I ran all day Sat. and with cooking and setting up, I could not walk by the time church was over. I skipped small group, and also wanted to stay with May, as I am leaving her on Tuesday. I fell asleep from 2 pm till after 5 pm, I was so beat. And I can barely walk now.

    My first trip Sat. was to the vet in Montgomery. I received a surprise phone call on Friday to come get a cast of Chester's paw print and the vet had clipped some hair. The vet was going to do that if she had time after he died. I just assumed she had not. Being he died last Dec. they are not real speedy or organized, however it was a sweet last memory, however late.

    I have yet to discover how one can be retired and so behind....Val, I understand with work and pups and all.... Me.. not so much!! :#

    Interesting articles. My generation did not save as much because some prices seem at an unreasonable and inflated value. It can be pretty hard. I agree with the lack of pensions now too, replaced by 401's and self saves. Would like to wring that guy's neck at me being relaxed and comfortable being obese. Hardly.. an insensitive thin jerk...I had heard of cheese burglaries in the past also. And in France too. Nothing is sacred!!

    Take care all! Rest Val!! ...Jan

    I just posted more humor, Enjoy

    Hi
    I'm back from walking and no cents. The Temperature out the door was 68 degrees. As it has been for the last couple of days it was comfortable to slightly cool outdoors while walking since there was a breeze. There is a heat wave in the forecast starting Friday, The overnight Lows are also forecast to be in the mid 70s :(

    Hi Val
    That is good news.

    You are making me tired just reading your days activities.

    Good morning,

    Val, you made me tired just listening to what you did. I wish I was intrepid enough to trim May's nails. I can not make myself do it- I am always afraid I will hit a vein. Who got the dog? The family with the child or the other. I know he is ecstatic- and he is so stinking cute!! Loved his picture. Who was the doggie behind you? :)

    Hi Jan
    According to what I saw this morning You should be OK despite the Guest Lunch, whatever that is ?

    Disorganized sounds like a understatement.

    I swear I got more things done before I retired :wink:

    I wish I had saved more, Luckily I do have one pension that helps out with the Social Security.
    A 401K is not a replacement IMO.

    There seems to be a Movement that accepts Obesity and strangely to me they shame members that decide to lose weight :* I have seen it mentioned in posts here in the past.
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fat_acceptance_movement
    The fat acceptance movement (also known as the size acceptance, fat liberation, fat activism, fativism, fat justice, or fat power movement)[citation needed] is a social movement seeking to change anti-fat bias in social attitudes. Areas of contention include the aesthetic, legal, and medical approaches to people whose bodies are fatter than the social norm. The movement has been criticized, with Cathy Young, writing for the Boston Globe, claiming that "the fat acceptance movement is hazardous to our health", and Barbara Kay, writing for the National Post, stating that "fat-acceptance is not the answer to obesity."

    Knox went to the single man, Robert. During our first meeting, He stepped away to take a call...puppy folloed him! At that meeting whennwe we’re leaving, he gave Knox smooches (big guy, fresh out if the Army). Knox had veen worried about the little boy; granted the parents did a great job if guiding the kids. With Robert, Knox will go everywhere he goes...with the family, he’d pretty much be a house and yard dog (like mine!). But Knox would rather go places and be involved. The fog behind me in the picture is Buster! I’m his god-mother if anything happens to his parents. Buster is one of 10 puppies born the day after Grumpy Puppy Rescue picked up a prego stray. Just got done working a 13 hour day. Well, I’m not done, I’m just wiped out! So I stopped. I like my weekend business MUCH MORE than this work stuff. Sigh.

    Hi Val
    Yikes a 13 hour day and not done. I suspect You need to learn how to do something that took me a long time to learn. That was how to leave work at work and relax when I went home. That would have been during to the 16 years I worked a retail location doing computer repair, data recovery, Virus cleaning and Upgrades.

    Congratulations on placing Knox.

    Morning!!

    Yesterday ran most of the day! Exhausted! Leaving in less than an hour, so short and sweet. The boarding place opens at 8 am so late on the road IMO. Oh well. S.C. here we come.

    Heat indexes at 103 the last few days and the week. Not better in S.C. lol!

    Good choice with Knox! :) Stay cool, all! ...Jan
