    Good morning!

    We have an inch and a half rain over several days with more to come. Good as we needed it. My yard guy showed up and was cutting as some thunder rumbled and they just finished when it started to rain again. His helper cut down 1/2 of my four o'clocks, which I thought was pretty obvious they were flowers...guess not. They also ran over
    some lilies, though they were in tall grass so they would not know. I need to move them, or fence them. Not sure about anything else as I have not ventured too far. :|

    Sorry about your hot bar trip! They can sure be tempters! I have not been too bad on what I eat lately, my portions are too big. That is a constant battle!!

    Glad the little fawn was saved. Twins do not happen too often , so that was sad, as well as sad for the mama. Twins often to not make it thru delivery in the wild if memory serves.

    The facebook offender was a moron! :D Well, thank goodness for that!. I can tell you, being barefoot in the house and wooden floors will not make you thin, lol. :D That is so negligible it is stupid...to me anyway,lol! I would love a 3,000 tip! :)

    Aussies are Australian Sheep dogs and usually have beautiful blue or marbled eyes. They are beautiful IMO, somewhat headstrong and benefit from a knowledgeable owner. Love them... Love the word elucidate.. :# I would send a pic if I knew how! I never seem to get to my computer for dummies book!

    May's spa treatment is a water treadmill that gives her injured leg exercise. PT therapy. I have not decided if she will get another which is not free, lol...

    Val, hope the tests goes well. At least finding answers is a good thing! Little B. is too cute for words! <3 Glad the NS is working for you!! :)

    Keep on trucking all! ..Jan

    Hi. Yesterday after the GI test, I had the worst gut pain and nausea...to the point of being unable to work. Luckily it subsided after 5, so I worked until 9:30. I think that was from the “crystals” that intentionally cause gas to allow the radiologist to be better able to see everything...but wow, the aftermath was unpleasant. Better this morning! With yesterday’s pain, I tried feeding it anything to make it stop...so i exceeded my calorie allotment, happy Thursday. Em has one week of school left!

    Hi
    I'm back from walking and 1 cent found 1 block from the house on the return to home leg of my walk. The temperature out the door was 63 degrees under a clear sky. The forecast is for nice if somewhat warm weather through Saturday.

    Had the upper GI series (barium). I have ulcers, hiatal hernia, and considerable scar tissue from October surgery. I’m severely nauseous and gut is very upset. The medical dtaff were all mice at this place.

    Hi Val
    I am sorry to hear that, Hopefully they suggested a course of treatment that will help.

    Were You on Your phone ? I loved the part where you said "The medical dtaff were all mice at this place." :wink:

    I think You are right, intestinal gas can be very painful. Been there done that, Overeating to try and stop the pain :(

    Hi Jan
    They are not taught anything beyond how to cut grass and not how to identify desirable plants. We tried a yard service and they cut off flowers that were not fenced off and damaged a window cover with the weed whacker.

    I would fence them with Decorative stones of a plastic fence.

    Agreed, Even the right foods in to large a quantity can be bad for You. Chinese take out such as Chicken Broccoli or Beef with vegetables or Beans even when they sauce is poured off can be fattening.

    I need to lose some weight as I overindulged lately. I was down 1.5 pounds in the last week so progress :smile:

    Good morning!

    Another day, another penny! :)

    I got up and got dressed this morning to get my labs. My bottles say no refills after may 18th. So I get there and they won't draw it because of the insurance company. I cannot get it drawn before tomorrow or Sat. Of course the Dr. is not open on Sat. nor will he be open Monday due to Memorial Day.. 2 meds have 5 pills left. That is why I went today, as you need a day to draw labs, get results, go back and see the Dr. and then get the refill. That can take 5 days. Have I said how much I hate that insurance companies run things and do not use common sense when doing it. And why would the pharmacy put down a refill date, if not to use and it is needed. RANT! Dumb!....done.. :s

    At least I did shop for some things to last thru Memorial Day.. I guess I will get up Friday and repeat...I plan on having ribs and staying home...May hurt her leg I think last nite some. She was asleep on the rug my feet were on. I got up and it woke her and she jumped up like she was a rocket to follow. She made the rug skitter and scared herself. She has done this before. She was limping for a minute or two and it looks a little swollen, but it is so hard to tell. I hope she did not damage all that work. I can watch a day or so, but then of course it is the holiday week end. Of course....

    Val, I am so glad the doctors did discover some things at the bottom of your pain. I hope you get some good options for treatment! My daughter is so happy at this last week of school! And she is the teacher! She teaches with a horrible administration- the kids are fine with her... :* Em works hard, I am sure she appreciates a bit of a break!!

    I guess I will not complain about my gas. We were paying around $3.04 a gallon and it killed me! We are currently back to around $2.85 for mid grade. Better!! What do you pay, though I know it is regular gas?

    We are thundering to beat the band but no visible lightening and we are getting no rain from it. Cooler but humid.

    That 30 year old man is some kind of lazy or some kind of hoot... I can not believe he would appeal. I am telling you, half the problems of the world would be better if we invested more in mental heath. Sink holes scare me! Remember the story of the brother who disappeared down one in his bed, and his brother could not hold onto him to save him? He was swallowed...Fla. of course...

    I had not planned for the yard guy to show due to the weather. I almost fenced the flowers the day before and put it off. I know better!!

    Y'all have a good start to the Memorial week-end! Stay safe!! ...Jan

    Hi Jan
    Yesterday I ended up finding a total of $1.01 Whee :smiley:

    I am surprised You waited that long to get refills. At least our Pharmacy will contact the doctor if needed to get a OK for a refill. Our supplemental insurance for Medicare works and the Prescriptions either pay or will not pay depending a list and that is that.

    Saving Money is more important than Your health to the insurance company, even when that shortsightedness may cost them more than prevention would cost. You may notice that I agree with Your Rant, I saw it at work with my aunt in California. Boo Hiss to any managed health care.
    At least I did shop for some things to last thru Memorial Day.. I guess I will get up Friday and repeat...I plan on having ribs and staying home...May hurt her leg I think last nite some.

    We ended up the running around yesterday at Bishops in Whitehouse, NJ. Where I spent to much on foods. I have a Container of Ground Beef and Pasta as well as a serving of What they are calling Country Style Ribs in BBQ Sauce, No Bone of course. Yesterday I had their Beef Brisket in BBQ Sauce and one of their Cheeseburgers that I threw the bun away and ate the Burger and Cheese with Ketchup and no bread so I could get a small portion of Mac & Cheese, I finished my Lunch / Dinner with a Medium Split Pea Soup that was pretty tasty. I call it Lunch / Dinner as All I had previously was a NS Cinnamon Coffee before walking and A Bowl of cereal for breakfast. I suspect that the Hunger pangs contributed to buying too much ready to eat food at Bishops :(

    I hope May is OK too.

    Locally Regular Gas is in the $2.90+ area and when we were running around Thursday I noticed that the Highest along the highway was $3.09 for regular.

    The news is full of weird things that make You go Huh or maybe what were they thinking :wink:

    BTW My ersatz humidity gauge is telling me that the humidity is OK this morning. My ersatz humidity gauge is the Cold .5 liter water that I pulled from the refrigerator to have a cold water.

    Thank You for the Holiday Wishes.

    Good morning!

    Well, I headed back to my Dr. and they told me I had another month before I could draw labs! :D I kept telling them something was wrong. The lab girl had told me to come back as I was off by one day. I reiterated the info on the bottles and suggested that the date was not the original 3 month date, I had come in extra, which had thrown off the dates they were looking at. The lady at the desk explaining how the lab will not pay, and blah, blah i can not do that.... I gave up and sat down as they offered to write prescriptions for the 2 drugs that will run out. After ten minutes the girl came out and said I had come in extra and the dates were wrong so I can get my labs...(sounded so familiar as I had told them I thought that happened like, ten minutes before...). Got my labs drawn.

    And I have laughed the whole time as the day before, my request for my new Dr. came in, and I will have my first appointment in mid June. So I can blithely get my refills this next week, knowing I have a new Dr.and they will not know it, till after my refill appt. On my goodness...what fate...I have appreciated them , but so time to move on!

    You must have been very good to find a dollar bill!!! :)

    Such a sad letter from that Prof in Ill. I kind of have to agree with him...

    I knew the destruction and bombs were bad in Dresden. When trying to track my ancestors I have come to a block as all records from the Dresden area were virtually destroyed...

    The man hitting the dog with the bat should be in prison, anyway. I can not understand why he is even out of given bail with his record. And do not get me started on what should happen to him....

    Val, it is a bummer to be penalized when you do a good job. Murphy's Law... Do not succumb to stress eating! You are doing too good. Try some meditation or Tai Chi ! :#

    Have a great Day All! Val, I hope you get some of the holiday!! Jan

    The gang violence in Chicago is terrible, they have lots of shootings, more than NYC despite being smaller. OTOH if we do not get a good handle the MS-13 gang who knows where that will go. Protesters on Long Island protesting the Presidents coming there to talk about handling MS-13, That makes no sense, they also protest against The gang Violence, Weird :(

    Dresden was pretty much flattened sadly.

    It seems as if people are much touchier and prone to violence than what I remember in the past.

    Hi Jan - hoping for the best with Alberto. Yesterday i was out all day getting Boudreaux amd another dog fixed, walking seized dogs, went to a BBQ, etc. long but fun day!

    Hi Val
    My mind is working strange today, Seized Dogs became Immobile Joints in the Poor Things :smile:

    A long and tiring day too, I'm guessing ?
    As for Sara, I had removed her from everything I need and Touch because she is unwilling to do anything correctly...but out boss, who has no. clue what I do and couldn’t care less, is forcing me to give her work. I’m documenting in detail her failure to her and ccing him....yet i am 100% sure he foes not read any of my email to him.

    Wow, Not good.

    Good Luck with that
    Roger

    Hi
    I'm back from walking and found no cents. The Temperature out the door was 56 degrees. It is a nice enough day outside, According to the weather forecast I saw last night one part of NJ had 6 inches of rain in 12 hours. Our rain was a lower amount. South of where I am the rain lasted longer and there were many roads closed due to flooding. I also wonder how many Parades were rescheduled due to the rain ?

    Good morning!

    All is quiet here on the southern front. We are expecting rains in mid afternoon. Yesterday was so busy I just read the column and never got back to track my food till this morning. Just the usual, church and small group. On the other hand it was a pleasant surprise that I was only over my calories by a few, and so have done better than usual.I am having ribs today, have not had them in a while. And veggies. Skipped the potato or macaroni products for the holiday as I have had far too many carbs lately. I did pick up a few bags of frozen soup veggies They were very good and varied, and I used them to create a broth - hence veggie soup for when I was hungry. That has worked nicely...

    Val, glad you were able to get out and do some things you enjoyed!! :)

    The flooding in Md. I think it was, sure caught my attention in the news. You do not see that every day. I did not realize the area had that much rain...The chicken chlorine story was interesting and yucky. And frustrating. I do not consider the FDA to be a greatly run success. I love how rather than improve and take great hints from other countries, we just listen to the industry at fault and let them do as they like. The FDA has a dismal record of inspections and also of promoting animal humane care. GRRR.. Actually, their drug policies make me rather skeptic also... :s

    Guess I will run out and buy some gum to walk with! ... Roger, this is a great project for you, and you are in the favored category, being a male who walks faithfully. I challenge you to see if it helps!! :#

    I would not like the noise or strange hordes of extra people running thru my neighborhood if it was previously quiet. Nowadays it is hard to not be suspicious if people have an opportunity to check out your property, and you have no idea what kind of person they might be. Most people are fairly nice, but you just never know... :*

    Got a chuckle out of you Roger thinking Val would be walking a seizure dog...because my mind went there at first too thinking " Little B" had a problem. That is what happens when our eyeballs register ahead in a story I guess!! Glad it was not that seizing!! ;)

    Hope you all had a great holiday, and a thankful one! Take care!! ...Jan
