Hi
I'm back home from walking and no money was found. The Temperature out the door was showing 32 degrees. The time and temperature sign I passed showed 25 which I suspect was more accurate based on how it felt while walking.
I guess I could call yesterday's weather forecast accurate where they said a few flakes could fall today and sure enough I saw a few stray flakes while walking.
I saw 5 deer trotting down the road near the start of my walk and while I was sitting in the living room I saw a different 5 deer in the front yard nibbling on my lawn.

I don’t have anything of interest to them...a gazillion pics of dogs. Trying to figure out where to take em on summer vacation, or Christmas vacation. Did s Little yard work. Take care, Val
The Sunday was good, I did overeat from the St. Patrick's day meal. Way to much Corned Beef, Cabbage, three small potatoes and for the Coup De Grace a roll my brother picked up fresh at the grocery store that I cut in half, smeared with butter and doused with homemade gravy. The scale told me I overdid it and indicated that I was up a pound. I suspect that a lot of that is water weight from the Potatoes and Bread + Gravy and I should be OK in a day or two and be where I weighed Sunday Morning.
A couple of suggestions, Back up the pictures if You are interested in preserving them. Since thumb drives are now inexpensive they work real well for that. Nice to have a new and probably speedier computer. Do the Geek Squad still push having them optimize the new computer for only a few dollars more ?
It is always nice to get compliments.
It is still early to be doing yard work with many overnights dipping below freezing and the lawn still brown rather than greening up.
Good Luck deciding where to put the dogs on vacation if I understand that correctly ? If So could someone in Your rescue group take them temporarily ?
Have a Good Day

Hi Jan2 -
Another one of my former pups was surrendered today. Boudreaux is now almost a year old. Super sweet. I need a bigger bed with six dogs.
That boss was actually nice today. Hurray.
I had an epiphany. My body really doesn’t need a lot of food. 🤣

Boy way I right about needing a bigger bed (said the single woman with a King-sized bed). LOL. For most of the night, I couldn’t move my legs. My knee locked up, so I got up. Which then caused 6 excited doggos to be sure it was breakfast time. I didn’t want to disappoint, so they had breakfast at 3am. Fortunately they are happy to go back to bed. I got a better spot this time. I know I’m an odd duck. But I do love my dogs and want them to feel safe and wanted. Happy Tuesday!
This pic was during the night. L-R: Boudreaux, my leg, Charlie, my leg/foot, Duke, Lucy, and Spike was up near my side.

Hi
I'm back home from walking and no money was found. The Temperature out the door was showing 34 degrees. There was a bright white orb in the sky lighting my way this morning. With that for much of my walk I was casting two shadows, one from the streetlights and a second equally distinct from the Moonlight.
The Scale looked favorably at me this morning and told me that I was a 1/4 pound under where I was Sunday Morning before overeating the St. Patty's Day foods
Yesterday my brother baked some discounted Sausage from his Sunday trip to the market so I stuck in a baking pan with the bacon I had in the fridge. Or to put it another way, why run the oven twice when You can get double duty out of one bake. So now I have precooked bacon I can use to spiff up the NS Chicken sandwich and the NS Hamburger and to add a little to the NS Pizzas. I was afraid that the nice Bacon sandwich I made with some of it along with Slice of 40 calorie bread that I used to soak up the drippings would impact my weight, Evidently the alterations I made to my days foods compensated for that.

That is too bad I suspect that being a year old will make a future adoption harder ?
Wow, I wonder what happened to make him nice.
Our bodies may not need a lot of food, However my opinion is and this is just an opinion FWIW.
I feel that thousands of years of a feast or famine type of eating makes our bodies want to store food in the good times for the lean times. Good times - Summer and Fall
Lean times would be Winter and Spring before things start producing edibles. Even when our ancestors could get out and hunt towards spring the prey would be lean.
I could also be wrong ? But it would explain a lot.
Without going Custom for the bed, mattress set and sheets what is there bigger to get and what size room would be needed ?hope4change_val wrote: »Boy way I right about needing a bigger bed (said the single woman with a King-sized bed).

My knees get stiff if I even sit in the same position I can only guess how bad they would be If I could not move them all night. I suspect that I would have trouble staying upright until the loosened up.

Hi!!
I am okay. My termite inspector was coming and I was madly cleaning house. I was gone and busy all week so it was a mess. It is better but I was still kind of embarrassed. He goes around with a flashlight and checks everything. Church was long and I was tired and I cleaned all day Monday and Tuesday morning. I waited too late to write Monday nite..I know better and went to sleep instead. I do better to write earlier and record foods earlier. Of course did not do that again tonite!! lol...

Hi
I'm back home from walking and no money was found. The Temperature out the door was showing 33 degrees. Rain in the forecast for Thursday
Yesterday we drove over to a new Grocery store that just opened in the area, We found out when a circular for them appeared in the Weekly Circular delivery arrived in the mail.
Some prices were good and some not. An example of what my brother thought was a good price was Chicken Leg & Thigh Quarters for $0.27 a pound in bulk. Myself I do not shop enough to know a good price when I see it. They appear to have just opened and had not even finished filling the shelves. One interesting thing is that the store is a combined Grocery Store and a True Value Hardware store that use the same set of registers.

I gather that where You are the Termites are even more voracious than up here and here they can do a lot of damage
I have seen TV shows where they buy a older home to flip it and the termite damage they uncover is staggering, Even the Hardwood Floors are not immune, Add in the other things like Dry Rot, Powder Post Beetles, and Carpenter Ants and It is amazing any older homes are still standing.
I figured it would be something like keeping You from posting

I am in Complete accord, Bacon, Bacon and Bacon, Yum.
You'll love this one, since I was there with my brother when he picked up lottery tickets I grabbed a menu. It is a Deli and Grill. They have a Breakfast sandwich that has Ham, Bacon, Sausage, Pork Roll, Eggs, Cheese and Home Fries on Italian Bread
They Also have a Breakfast Omelet that has Ham, Bacon, Sausage, Pork Roll, Eggs, and Cheese, served with Home Fries and Toast.
I'm sure they are both low calorie, Not.
The Moon was nice and bright, If I am remembering the weather forecast fro yesterday this will be the last Super Moon of 2019.
Have a Nice Day

Good morning!
Yes siree!!! I want some of that breakfast sandwich...if I get the omelet will it be keto? I had made spaghetti for Sunday and since two of us were bring it, I had leftovers. One of those that one pan may not be enough, but 2 pans was kind of a lot. So I ate spaghetti for Sunday, Monday and Tuesday. A lot of spaghetti!! The Italian in me was so happy..the dieting part not so much...You gain VERY quickly when you do keto, then eat carbs for more than a day. All that work I will be doing again. Worst part, I still want a reg sandwich in the worst way..before going keto!! I did get thru yesterday and was keto.. now for today...
It was expensive making that baked spaghetti for small group, with meat, cheeses and sauce. And I have guest lunch to buy this weekend. That is usually a salad or app, main dish, a veg, and dessert. Another expense. It is also 2 showers this month, as well as Giving Sunday the 31st. This is a yearly thing for church maintenance, 2 missions, children's ministry and probably something I am forgetting. Not to mention just regular Sunday giving. With expenses going up, and the rate I am taxed I will need to really curtail my spending. No one makes you give, but obviously you have the much is given, much is our responsibility syndrome. Almost as much guilt as Catholics, lol...I really have no extra money at all in my budget and have to go to my taxable funds for so much..Quite the Quandary. I need to readjust and get over the guilt!! They are killing me....
Super moon tonite and a space station flyby for us..Do you see that??
I need to go back and look at my original termite contract. It was one of those we treat, then inspect, and if we find damage I think I pay no extra except what I have paid already for the inspection. Not sure If I void that contract if I go say every 2 years and inspect instead of one. it sure would save.. He also told me I need to find someone to look at my boot on the roof. He said it looked like I may need to replace that and maybe some shingles. My roof is over 25 years old and just starting to show wear..so I knew roof repair or a new roof was coming...
Am I wrong everyone seems to have a hand out...
Take care..we are having some cool spring weather but it has been wonderful. Nites a little cool at 40 for flowering plants but 60's and some 70's coming in the next bit. next week one possible 39.
Take care!! ...Jan1 -
I had a sore throat for a few days, got worse today with fever. Doc put me on antibiotics and stuff.

Hi
I'm back home from walking and no money was found. The Temperature out the door was showing 47 degrees. When I left the house all was dry, given the early rain in the forecast I modified my walking path so that I was more or less close to the house. At the furthest point I felt my first drop of rain and by the time I was home everything was wet and the rain had temporarily stopped. There is heavy rain in the forecast for later today
Spring may have sprung, however I have seen better looking days

The Omelet will be 100% Keto especially if You eat the toast and all the Home Fries
I hate that sort of thing, Especially when You know You will eat any leftovers since You spent the money for them
Meats, Was that Ground Beef as Loose Beef and Meatballs, Sausage and some sort of Pork. I used to buy Thin Cut Pork Chops since they cooked quick and fry them before adding to the Tomato Gravy. Taking into consideration that there is a surplus of cheese the price has not really dropped, Possibly the Government propping it up by buying the surplus ?
The problem with going to the taxable funds is the taxes due later on. It can become a vicious circle
Is the Guest lunch for one or a group ?
This sounds like a tough and expensive month, Good Luck
Eating Carbs make me crave more carbs too FWIW. Not to mention they seem to interfere with the part of my brain involved in resisting eating things I know I should not eat.
I think that if You try and go every two years that voids the contract.Super moon tonite and a space station flyby for us..Do you see that??

25 Years is about the life of a shingle roof, Not so for a metal roof. The problem with a roof at the end of life is that it may be seeping in and damaging the sheathing and still not show inside. We had that problem here by the time we discovered the roof was bad because a leak showed up. When The trusted roofer checked the roof we had a lot of soft spots that needed replacing
Keep in mind that if You have two or more roofs that You need to strip back and start again with one layer.
You are 150% right that everyone has a hand out for You money, Around here in the spring we get what they refer to as the Gypsies going around looking to do crud work and rip You off. As an example they will seal the driveway cheap. What they really do is spray used oil so it looks like sealer for a week or two.
Another thing I have heard that they do is sell a cheap roofing job, What they really do is go up on the roof and pound in nails nosily so You think they are replacing the roof and instead spray the old shingles with oil so they look new when You look up at it. Complete Scam artists.

Keto BBQ sauce, It has to be a good thing. The only problem is that it could be a bit expensive finding one You like the taste of.
Weather has been weird this winter, Nothing I can do to change it however.
I Agree it would have been easier to just abandon or drop of at a shelter rather than return him. Both of You must be seeing something I do not see
One let alone two crazy bosses is bad enough, add in illness and Yikes.
I am guessing that You meant Friday for the visit even though You posted early Friday Morning, You Night Owl You

Hi. Antibiotics are helping! The gunk in my throat is gone, so i can talk again. The salt water gargle helps the pain of my sore throat. I’m on the mend.
Thursday my lawyer attempted to file an agreed order between my ex and I to terminate my ex’s parental rights. But the judge declined to accept. I need to testify next Thursday. Still waiting to hear if Emily is needed to appear. No reason was given, but i can think of four lines of questions: why are you filing this motion? What is the relationship between kid and ex? Do you have the means to support the child? What happens to the child if you die? I have very appropriate answers to all, but still stressed about having to appear.
Next week i will be out of the house 4/5 days...which is stressful for an introvert who’s used to working from home. Monday dentist and office because VP in town; Tuesday doctor check to prep for surgery in July. Wednesday office-they are having a chili cookoff and requested I bring my award-winning vegetarian chili. Thursday court. None are bad, just extra time.
Today i cram in work and all my chires. Tomorrow I drive to Austin with Charlie to meet a potential adopter.
I planted my zucchini starts...and think they sre properly protected from the doggos.1 -
Good morning!
So glad you are on the mend Val. Sounds like just in time for your busy week. You better plan a little extra nap or something in there (somehow!) as it sounds like a hectic schedule when you may not be 100%. You are however very prepared from the sounds of it.. Good luck with Charlie!!
I know we have a legal system but really, someone who stabs someone that many times does not need to be in society. I found the article rather weird, as the first article claims a gang of people assaulted him. Then he apparently dies at some point then no mention of the gang ..why would they be touching him inappropriately either. How do you not charge the guy with murder and think it is manslaughter..
Rather scary story on those Ford explorers too!!
There are sure a lot of crazy people in the world..
Roger you sound like you are in the last throes of winter there. Bless you for going out!! That is dedication!!
Nice catch on my timing to visit my son. You would think after 20 years of nite shift I would not make that mistake. But you are right..I stay up late but think of it as the same day,lol!!
Great lake visit, nice to get out..Take care all!!! ...Jan1 -

Hi
I'm back home from walking and no money was found. The Temperature out the door was showing 34 degrees. It was nice walking, The sky is clear and the moon was bright enough that I was casting a shadow from the Moonlight.

The lady in Austin is fostering Charlie for a week to make sure, and plans to adopt him next Saturday. I think they’re perfect for each other. Her boyfriend is also super nice. When i was leaving i said “Charlie, can I have a kiss?” He ran to me and obliged...then ran right back to her! That’s how it’s supposed to be.1

Good morning!
Awesome about Charlie, Val!! Hope each day you are feeling stronger!!
Roger, I know I am not a day person, but dang you are an early riser!! Good for you!! Sounds nice to walk seeing the moon like that! My daughter is on spring break this week. Hope to spend some time with her. Sunday cooking for the church group again. This is open to the whole church, mainly though for guests and newcomers. And of course our group stays. Too much food..and yummy. Did not do well today, lol..
Take care all!! ..Storms for Monday here... ...Jan1 -

Hi
I'm back home from walking two pennies were found as I walked across a parking lot. The Temperature out the door was showing 53 degrees and at 5:13 AM a time and temperature was showing 53 degrees also. It was nice walking outside for walking, I was somewhat overdressed in the hoodie and ended up with it unzipped to let some cooler air in.

Hi Val, I had Your post opened to reply to and git sidetracked when my brother came down to go shopping and I went with him and that was that, Apologies to You and Jan.hope4change_val wrote: »Hi.

Damn Judges an agreed to order should have been a easy rubber stamp approval, Good Luck when You go.
This Sounds like a busy week, Award Winning, Wow.
Good Luck with the potential adopter and the Zucchini starts. I suspect that You as well as my brother eat a lot of them fresh off of the vine. Every Year the vines end up wit borers that slowly kill them off but not before they go into overdrive producing.
That does sound promising. I hope all goes well.hope4change_val wrote: »The lady in Austin is fostering Charlie for a week to make sure, and plans to adopt him next Saturday.

BTW the one picture in Sunday's humor was for You, I bet You can guess which one too after You one post.
Have a Nice Day
