The walking trail i was on connects my old apartment with my doctor’s office. 8 years ago, I regularly went on that trail...but it’s about 10 miles from my current house.

My reason to have my illness/death papers drawn up...when i had sepsis, I was helpless and none of my people could legally act on my behalf. Fortunately Emily has a credit card on my account so she could make all necessary purchases but it was an issue for disability paperwork. Plus that event forced me to face the reality of my mortality.
That made for a lot of walking, if I understood You correctly, 10 miles each was ?
If I had Your experience with a dog I would also be leery of a off leash dog. Around here they are required to be on a leash unless in a fenced in yard, Is that Your area too ?
That makes sense to me, if You are incapacitated someone must decide what to do. Is Emily old enough to do that legally ?
Death comes to all of at some point, the trick is to not let is rule Your life. It is like an airplane, "Take offs are optional, Landing is not"

Sorry for my clumsy wording. I drove the 10 miles yo the doctor. The walking path only connects my doctor’s office with my former apartment complex.
We have leash laws. San Antonians don’t respect the law. Drunk driving is illegal but we have very high drunk driving rates. Texting and driving is illegal but 90% of drivers do it.
Embis only 16. She needs to be 20 before she is legally aloud that responsibility. So my paperwork is written with one friend as the primary responsible party, then Em with the caveat that it’s after her 20th bd, then two additional alternates.
Your area sounds like You see a lot of scofflaws, How are the accident rates from the DWI and Texting ?
I had a suspicion that might be the case with Emily, Three Alternates sounds as if You have all the bases covered. Hopefully none of that will be needed. I am curious as to how Your hernia treatment works out, I have not gone to the doctor about it but I suspect I could have one
Have a Nice Day

Yesterday our temps were in the upper 70s, today in the 30s. I met Em’s teachers today. One man is a complete jerk! Traditional Turkish Muslim. I’m fine with that...except when he ordered me to “calm down.” I had asked for Em’s schedule. Parents were told to go to homeroom to get the schedule. After his remark, I responded, you will treat me with respect and courtesy. His next line was “i gave a problem with Emily.” I said “in homeroom???” He started babbling. I was perplexed. Half way through his babble, he hands me the schedule...at which time I discover he’s also her chemistry teacher. I asked him what topic they are working on. He said “she knows.” I said “I don’t know; would you please tell me what the current topic is?” He responded “tammel”. Mind you my degree is biochemistry and I previously worked as a chemist. I had no clue. I said I hadn’t heard of that but I imagine many things have changed since i was in college. I said I’d google it so I could help Em. He was upset and kept saying tammel, tammel. Then he wrote on the board THERMAL. OMG no wonder my child who doesn’t already know chemistry is having trouble. He was so gruff and pompus. As i was leaving i fave him a glimpse of my credentials...I said i no longer work as a chemist, i now work with chemical weapons and nuclear material. His mouth dropped open and he was finally silent. I’m so angry that em is forced to be around that jerk.
All the other teachers were great. One teacher that em said she’s having trouble with is actually quite nice...they just misunderstood each other. So I told him about what works best for her and her about what works best for him. So I'm confident that will resolve well.1 -

Hi
I'm back home from walking and no money was found. The Temperature out the door was 29 degrees. Yesterday afternoon the wind gusts started and this morning while walking the wind gusts and hence the wind chill were still ongoing making it only semi comfortable walking.
I am hoping that the rest of the day goes better than this morning has started out, I went to print something out and Got a Replace Toner message in the printer
Luckily when I bought it I chose to get a spare toner at a discount with the printer so I will be installing that later, Oh well. The starter toner has lasted a long time so...

I looked at the article You linked. Here in NJ refusing a breathalyzer test is a automatic ticket and loss of license. From the article I inferred that it is different in Texas since it mentioned The Austin Police Department held a No Refusal Initiative from May 24 to June 11, in which detectives assisted officers in applying for blood search warrants when suspects under arrest for DWI refused to take a breath or blood test
I am sorry and I know this is not PC, however a teacher should speak clear concise English.hope4change_val wrote: »Yesterday our temps were in the upper 70s, today in the 30s.

Wow, You are very qualified and likely know a lot more than I I only have a 2 year degree 
It is so nice that You could put him in his place. I can see why Emily is having trouble. As I was reading Your post I was thinking Tammel, what the heck is that ? How can anyone learn Chemistry from him ?
That is real good that at least You could resolve the problem with the second teacher. Where Your daughter goes to school can they pick the class and teacher for subjects ?All the other teachers were great. One teacher that em said she’s having trouble with is actually quite nice...they just misunderstood each other. So I told him about what works best for her and her about what works best for him.

Hi Joanne2 -
Good morning.
Well, it appears it will be a long couple weeks!
May May went to the vet and got most of her shots. I think she must be missing one. The list she needed and what they gave were listed differently. She got a 4 in 1, bordetella (sp?) and her rabies but she should have got 7, not 6. I need to find what all was in the 4 in 1. I am thinking she is missing her lepto- something. lol. It is fine because getting so many shots at once is a lot to me. The vet checked her limping leg.Her dog had it too.. the knee problems. She felt it was not torn and might be fine with weeks of leash only walking. Her operated leg was good. She sneaked in her wellness, tooth check and heartworm and fecal. May got something for pain. All for the small price of $220.00. Lord has prices went up. I actually was afraid it would be more....I still need to go back for follow up , missed shot and some more heartworm/flea preventative.. That was enough billing for one visit so do not mind the extra trip. And so far has not been another 3500 for surgery on the other hind leg. It will be a problem as she may never again get the freedom of the back yard. There is little to prevent her running or tearing that knee. No ball playing either. I would guess. And she is only 4. Bless her.
I arranged the living room so she can at least see the backyard when she is snoozing in her doggie bed. The extra walking on my knee is a little rough, but also has helped my arthritis overall, so that is good. Still a work in progress as we progress. Especially Sunday. leaving her for 6 or seven hours won't work. I may hit Sunday school, skip church and head back for small group lunch and meet. Or just hit church..but I really would miss our early Sunday class and really love them all. Life change again here and adjustments!
Oh lord, Val...I would not like that man for a teacher. You might could work around the language, but not his attitude. Our Pakistani friend teaches and still has quite an accent. He is brilliant and speaks about 6 languages as well as holding several PhD's. But he is so kind and humble and speaks slowly and distinctly. He would never act that way. if there is communication difference he always says it a different way and makes it a learning experience for himself and actually his person listening because he is so kind and just an awesome human being. That guy just sounds like a jerk. They come in all nationalities and colors. I know I am preaching to the choir!!
my guess is the whole class would like to move!! Such a shame as parent involvement can be lacking. He should be appreciating those who care! Hope it gets better. Good job with the other teacher. Sure he appreciated it. 
Roger, some funny stories and funny funny weather!! There goes my heating bill raising again!!!
Take care, Jan
P.S.- It does solve the dog door phobia for the present as she can't use it a while anyway. The leg or back might have caused the phobia to begin with, then escalate..

Jan - they’ve stopped automatically vaccinating for leptospirosis. Thats now only recommded for pups and if your adult dog is exposed to livestock. So if your area has livestock then get that, otherwise not required. Pups are also usually vaccinated for corona virus. And most adult dogs don’t need that.
Yes, any human that desires to communicate would describe the word that wasn’t understood. Like “reactions when you add heat” that’s what thermal chem is. Not brain surgery!
He treats the students worse than he treated me. He’s the only chem teacher. The administration are all Turkish men so I assume they will defend him.
Roger - only at the beginning of each year, the kids pick their classes. But no clue about the teachers. Then the school tries to accommodate the selected classes. Kids rank their preferences for electives. Since the school is small you don’t always get your first or second elective.
I don’t usually whip out my degree and experience but that jerk pissed me off! And ..there’s no text book, he gives no hsndouts, and he collects the kids’ notes st the end of each class. There is no way for thrm to get help! 🤬🤬
My day today was busy but pleasant. Of our five pups and two dogs, three pups and a dog got adopted. And we picked up a mama and her six newborn pups! And while we were in the middle of nowhere, Maggie got a flat tire! It was 35 degrees out. Thankfully two uoung men from a mobile home came out and did it for us!1 -

Hi
I'm back home from walking and one shiny dime was found. The Temperature out the door was 23 degrees.
I hope You enjoy the show. Lucky me, the toner change took around 5 minutes, the Brother is a little more work than a HP for example. You need to pull the Toner unit, remove the toner portion and replace it with the new toner unit then put the entire assembly into the printer.

That is a lot of shots to me.
Only $220, Yikes and Only 4 ? I know I would feel that amount for a doctor visit, Thankfully Medicare and the Supplemental pay for most everything except eyeglass prescriptions and eyeglasses or dental.
Would it really be bad to miss the small group lunchI arranged the living room so she can at least see the backyard when she is snoozing in her doggie bed.

Fool AKA Jerk
I think that part of the way he is comes from the way he was raised and if he is a Muslim some of them think women do not need to be taught anything beyond enough to read the Koran, I could be wrong of course.
As You say to many parents can not be bothered to take an interest in what is happening in their schools.
This winter so far. Knock Wood, We have not really needed the snow shovels, Only the once in November. Cold or wet that is a different thing. Possibility of flurries overnight.
I had not thought of that, You could be onto something with the leg.

What the Heck, I never heard of a class with no textbooks, no handouts and what type of teacher collects the kids personal property, Notes in this case. You will see my thoughts as to a possible why to Jan. The Administration are all Turkish, What type of area are You in, could there be a type of prejudice at work ?
FWIW I would have done the same thing with that teacher so...
That was nice of those young men to do that, so many people these days just pretend not to notice if they even notice. That would be the theme in one of the images I posted in humor today. Luckily I can call AAA as long as I have cellular thanks to my brother and the Family plan.My day today was busy but pleasant. Of our five pups and two dogs, three pups and a dog got adopted.

It sort of sounds as if You went backwards, 4 dogs adopted and 7 picked up

Roger - Yes...lots of discrimination against the non-Muslims at this school. They established this charter school system. And thus they staff with their own. Just the chem guy is nuts, the others are workable.
Wednesday all five of the 8-week old pups plus two adults are getting fixed and then distributed to their adopters. I’ll probably take the two unspoken for pups so Maggie can concentrate on the new mom and babies.

I'm back home from walking and no money was found. The Temperature out the door was 29 degrees. I decided to walk and the footing was OK, I could hear the surface I was walking on making crunchy noises OTOH. I was careful to keep checking traction periodically as I walked.
Diet, Yesterday was not great for me, My brother picked up some of the hot foods at the Grocery Store. One meatball, I do not know how they managed it but the darn thing was tough. One over a inch thick slice off of a big meatloaf, How they could call what was entirely Ground Beef meatloaf in a gravy with onions is beyond me, And a Thin Cut Pork Chop in a gravy with button mushrooms. Ha no wonder the scale was up 0.5 pounds this morning, I just looked at the receipt and that weighed 1.23 pounds and guess who ate it all yesterday Yup You guessed it.

If I staffed like that with a 100% non minority staff for example I would likely get sued, they get a pass from the sound of it. Is this the best school for Your daughter or ?
It sounds like things are moving good with the new dogs and puppies, Congratulations.
I also know how to change a tire OTOH unless it is dangerous where I am I prefer to call AAA these days and let them come out to do it.
Egg Rolls in a Bowl, Does not sound like a true Egg Roll

Glad you were safe with your walking!! I love crunchy snow!!
Val, interesting makeup on that charter school. I would not have thought. I also would have thought the public schools better. I do kind of think rich when I think Texas..so assumed most schools pretty good.
I saw the egg roll in a bowl keto, just had not tried it yet. Glad you liked it. I do need to do more more recipes and not just meat and broccoli, lol...Good luck with the pups!

Hi
I'm back home from walking and no money was found. The Temperature out the door was 33 degrees. I decided to walk and so far the snow in the forecast has not made its appearance. According to this mornings weather forecast Only Central and North NJ will see snow that turns to sleet and rain with the south NJ areas seeing rain. It looked as if we are in the 1 to 3 inch of snow before the changeover.

I guess a decent school like where Emily is is better than a bad school. In NYC a bad school is one where You can both, get hurt and not educated. I guess it is a sign of how bad things are that they have to have metal detectors and every now and then call the police for guns or knives
I'm sorry to hear that happened, Hopefully no problem beyond being sore. Furry Trip Hazards do not realize what can happen when they run around happy to see You.

Being that it was mainly Proteins I was down this morning back to where I was Sunday Morning so that was Good to see.
I actually love walking across graveled areas that also go crunch underfoot, I wonder what that means, Second Childhood ?
It seems that public schools everywhere are not what they used to be or what they should be anymore
Looking out the window I see that the forecast snow has started, later than forecast, hopefully also a lesser amount.
The Lug Nuts are due to two causes IMO, The impact guns used when putting the tires on and in my case the fact that they are on there without being removed for many years. My old Pontiac when I got a flat I could not mount the spare so being close to home I drove home on the shredding tire and rim and had a hack of a time getting the Lug nuts loose. They had been on there for years.
Have a Nice Day

Not too sore today. Glad of that.

Good articles Roger!! Finally caught up..That would be a bad way to go..falling into a geyser or thermal pools...
Hope you avoid the sleet!!
Having trouble being strict on my keto..I had yogurt today while out and after ordering realized it was not greek, and had sugar. Also having a fried chicken attack....MUST do better, and I always do better at home!! Duh..me!!
I have an MRI scheduled for my knee next Tuesday at 7 am..ugghh on the time..
My bipap quit in the middle of the nite last nite!! Well, got to bed at 2 am and it quit at 4 am. Woke me up as It was hard to breathe. I had not lost power, so afraid the machine died. Luckily when I carried it in it was the power cord, and she gave me a free one. No charge. I could not sleep without it!! So on 2 hrs sleep, did the dr appt, went to lunch with a friend, and got the bipap fixed and stopped for no no fried chicken for dinner, lol... Then slept with my trusty bipap from 5 pm to 7pm, could not wake and got up at 9pm. So watching TV and reading awhile and hopefully will sleep still tonite!! What a mixed up day!!
It does remind me I need a consult form one of my Dr and possibly a new machine as mine is over 10 years old. Never had one problem till the cord. Kind of impressed by the durability in this day and age!! Works well..but they say replace it, lol...healthcare, lol...
Be safe all!! ..Jan1 -

Hi
I'm back home from walking and no money was found. The Temperature out the door was 35 degrees. I decided to walk after checking traction underfoot. Due to the slush I did wear the insulated waterproof boots that have a decent grip on the surface due to a deep tread pattern.

Fat Bombs ?
I'm glad to hear You are not too sore, You deserve some good luck

Hi JanGood morning!!
Val, so glad you are okay after the fall..more or less! Not an easy thing to experience anymore!! Some fat bombs are better than others!! They are decadent! I like they fill you up for a long time!!
Good articles Roger!! Finally caught up..That would be a bad way to go..falling into a geyser or thermal pools...

Having trouble being strict on my keto..I had yogurt today while out and after ordering realized it was not greek, and had sugar. Also having a fried chicken attack....MUST do better, and I always do better at home!! Duh..me!!
We did not really avoid the sleet in some parts of NJ the driving was miserable, I did not see cars having trouble around here.
That would be why I always bought the Greek Yogurt. A Fried Chicken Attack , Hmm...
Home made or something like a Popeyes or KFC attack. As You know Fried Chicken is not Keto friendly due to the breading if nothing else on it like a BBQ Sauce.
I find that not going past or into anywhere with food works better for me to. Today is run to the banks, Plural.
SSI should arrive so off I go to replenish my wallet as it is down to $20 and change. So far no notice from the bank the it has arrived. Hmm...
Is the knee bothering You ? or is this just a routine follow up ?I have an MRI scheduled for my knee next Tuesday at 7 am..ugghh on the time..

It sounds as if You got lucky that it was just the power cord. I'm curious when You say cord is only a wire or does it have one of those black power adapters built in, To me that would be more likely. I'm sorry to hear you need one of those, so far so good here.
You got a lot done on little sleep, Congratulations.Good going avoiding the Fried Chicken as that can be a powerful craving.
If I said I am from the school of "If it isn't broke, don't fix it"
Have a Good Day
Roger
P.S. I just got the email notice from the bank and the SSI is now in the account and available, Whee 2 -
Good morning!!
Cold start of the day in the 30's. It is supposed to warm to 70. LOL!! You have been cold a while now. Glad your footing walking was good!! You are smart to keep up with what to wear with your weather!!
My Bad!! I did stop for chicken last nite. My "no no" chicken was not at all clear, sorry!! I meant it as no no ..like I can not have it!! I did anyway, lol!!
Believe it or not, it was just the power cord.There is a smaller one hooked up to the actually power source, then cords from the power source to the unit. Unless she really liked me and did not tell me!! However the power cord part with the power source looks the same. Grateful!! I can not sleep upright on my couch for nite, though I can for naps, which are usually not intended. I have to stretch my legs and back.
Funny, my bank is off line at the moment also. Hopefully my SS deposit is going in today. It has been pending for about 5 days!
My knee is the one I hurt about 3 weeks ago in my daughter's car getting out. It is just not healing. I am sure I am on it too much. Not a lot of choice when I am on my own but can't afford a maid, lol!!
I do plan to be all keto today!! Still, I lost some of what I put on!! Yay!!
Behave all!! ....Jan1 -
We got six dogs and pups spayed and neutered. Everyone is adopted except for Ringo, so he’s with me. He’s cute but a real jerk. And he misses his brother...so he’s crying and barking (except when i hold him.
Fat bombs are a high fat keto treat. The recipe i made was a block of cream cheese, 1/2 cup keto Almond butter, 1/4 coconut oil, and salt. Fat is a satiating treat.
I received keto test strips. I exceed the weight loss level ketodis and smnin the unhelpful range. This will be harder because i need to add some carbs back but not too much. Ugh.
Found out today that The angry guy still things he’s my boss. So we’ll see what happens.1 -
I have just posted more humor
Hi
I'm back home from walking and no money was found. The Temperature out the door was 33 degrees. However I suspect that may not have been accurate as the snow I tested was crunchy. Before I forget, Yesterday I could see Deer tracks in the snow going across the front yard and today I could see them in the left over snow in a Playground I passed while walking.
There were also a couple of Snow Flurries yesterday afternoon.
Yesterday my brother did his usual Wednesday Shopping. He brought home the on Sale Ham, and two of the on sale Jimmy Dean Bacon. One for each of us, in the next few days I will bake the bacon off to be portioned into some frozen and some to be used, I do feel a BLT on Rye in my future. The Ham will be going into the freezer since we just defrosted a Corned Beef and he wants to defrost and slice up the Homemade Pastrami that is in the freezer, that way we can set up the slicer and do both at the same time and portion them out to be frozen after being Vacuum Sealed. That will save one setup and cleaning of the slicer.

Hello JanGood morning!!
Cold start of the day in the 30's. It is supposed to warm to 70. LOL!! You have been cold a while now. Glad your footing walking was good!! You are smart to keep up with what to wear with your weather!!
My Bad!! I did stop for chicken last nite. My "no no" chicken was not at all clear, sorry!! I meant it as no no ..like I can not have it!! I did anyway, lol!!
You are having a heat wave compared to here
Oh, Sorry, I misunderstood, I hope it was as tasty as You expected it to be.
I let my brother do the grocery store run Yesterday, I call that avoiding temptation. We swapped runs, I did the banking for both of us and he did the shopping for both of us.
There are not to many better prices than freeBelieve it or not, it was just the power cord.There is a smaller one hooked up to the actually power source, then cords from the power source to the unit. Unless she really liked me and did not tell me!! However the power cord part with the power source looks the same. Grateful!! I can not sleep upright on my couch for nite, though I can for naps, which are usually not intended. I have to stretch my legs and back.

If mine had been pending for 5 days, I would be down there checking in person as well as asking why they are offline.
Have You tried an ace bandage on Your knee, I did that in the past when I hurt my knee and had to keep working.
Have a Good Day

That is quick work that only one is left already. Cute but a jerk, I would have thought those were opposites ?
I am sorry to hear that Angry Guy is still Your Boss, Good Luck with that.
Thank You for the feedback.
