    More humor has been posted

    Hi
    I'm back from walking and No cents. The Temperature out the door was 63 degrees and I was Comfortable for the first time in days. Today I need to mow the somewhat overgrown lawn, I just did not feel like doing it in the High temperatures and humidity :(

    Then another trip to Lowes for more mulch, The last ten bags were not enough sadly.

    Good morning!!

    Val, I hope you have a wonderful vacation too! The girls are so lucky to have you!! Enjoy yourselves and safe travels!! :)

    Interesting articles, and I am enjoying the little jokes with the spoilers! I love those kind of funnies!

    Hopefully you will start to get some relief on the humidity and temps soon! Do a lot of people have air where you are? In Ohio it was unheard of for homes. Wonder if that has changed in 50 years, lol...

    I did not realize dogs could take melatonin. Cool! I take some too at bedtime. Works pretty well.

    Had to chuckle about your couch arriving, Val, and the covers going on. Very familiar...

    Glad you found the dime! I bet you do well for Chinese! You have a lot of discipline!!

    Have a great week-end! ...Jan
    Hi Jan
    I did not do as well as I hoped. Some of what I ate were Beef Broccoli, Chicken Broccoli letting the sauce drain off. Chicken in several forms including wings and something called Sweet Rib Tails that were tasty OTOH ?
    I did stay clear of most of the Carb laden dishes until the end where I had some cake and ice cream :(

    I suspect that most people have AC even if they do not run it until the weather turns beastly.

    I take melatonin a 1/2 hour before I head off to bed too, it seems to help at night.

    What Costs Millions of dollars but is worthless ?
    Second place in an election
    I ran out of those spoiler jokes for now I hate to say except for the political one.
    It it offends You let me know, I thought it was funny if truthful :smiley:

    As I look out the Window I see a Rabbit on the neighbors driveway. While walking I saw the usual suspects, Rabbits, Squirrels, Birds hear Owls and Woodpeckers, I also saw two smallish deer feeding in a school playground, not the first time for that location either.


    With the nice overnight temperatures I walked a lot further despite planning to mow the grass later and Pick up mulch at Lowes too. On my return to the before I came in I filled the mower and got it ready to use once it is late enough in the morning :wink:

    Friday was Fried Chicken Day
    https://www.thrillist.com/news/nation/national-fried-chicken-day-deals-2018
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Fried_Chicken_Day
    National Fried Chicken Day is observed in the United States of America annually on July 6. It is unclear how the day originated.

    In observance of the day, fried chicken is prepared in a variety of ways, and eaten.

    Some chain fried chicken restaurants such as Church's Chicken and KFC, and other chain restaurants such as Grandy's, offer promotions on National Fried Chicken Day.

    Have a Good Day

    Glad it is a little cooler! All the animals must have appreciated the better weather, too.!

    Jenny took me out for my birthday. I was a little over for calories but not too bad. I had too many carbs, but that was my meal for most of the day, lol. Just had a taste for a hamburger and fries with an appetizer of baked potato soup. Just hit the spot. She had prime rib, so it was kind of funny she went fancy and I went...all american regular! I am officially feeling old at 65 yrs. on Sunday! :D

    Posts were weird ones sorta this time! Still liked the spoiler joke. Actually the 1st place costs millions and not too much better, lol. :#

    Appreciated the humor pages too. Some really good ones!

    Hope you get your yard done. I am behind, lol...still...

    I celebrated fried chicken day last week! I was having the worst taste for it, unfortunately for calories! I think I had fried chicken 3 days out of the last 7 days. May May shares...it could be worse! :*

    Be good the next few days!! ...Jan

    Hi Jan
    I did not do that good OTOH, The Deserts were tasty. The Ice Cream was a foam cup of Chocolate and Vanilla Hershey's Ice Cream. They had other Hershey's Ice Creams too.

    I know what You mean, I love Cream of Potato Soup, as well as Cream of Turkey and Others.
    I use Cream of Mushroom soup poured over Chicken Breast before I bake them in the oven FWIW, Other than that I do not use it.

    Oh, Oh, Sunday AKA Today is Roast Prime Rib day at the Diner, Toss in Onion Rings and Whee. I am now officially tempted :smiley: Luckily I can't afford it until I get to the Bank Wednesday to withdraw from the SSI deposit. 65, You Youngsters :wink:

    Good morning all!

    I hope you enjoyed your break from the humidity, Roger! Sounds like it is fixing to be over too soon! Now you have got me wanting prime rib and onion rings, lol!

    Really interesting stories! I agree, everything done is attacked for political party reasons, not always reality. The rich do seem to be getting richer, and I wish gas prices were lower, lol! Not always the fault of the president though!

    Val, what are you paying for gas since you are traveling in your region? We seem high, but we were still lower than Georgia and SC.

    I have trouble keeping up with the older people in my group, lol! ;)

    I forgot to mention the one deer I saw eating the Grade School playground grass yesterday, I was reminded of that when I saw two of them doing the same thing today. I guess they like the taste and openness of the grassy area.

    You are covering some ground. It has been many, many years since I saw the Petrified forest or the Grand canyon. More recently I did see Carlsbad Caverns and I was wondering if that was the location of that photo.

    Hi Jan
    It's Your fault that I want a Roast Prime Rib since You mentioned "Jenny took me out for my birthday. She had prime rib."

    Once the President announced his pick for the Supreme Court what I suspect were prepared in advance press releases knocking the choice were in the news very quickly last night. I though that the person chosen said good thing at the press conference, OTOH what do I know.

    My suspicion is that in the grand scheme of life none of it make much difference for me.

    I seeing gas prices in the $2.70+ to over $3 depending on the station FWIW.

    Have a Good Day

    Good morning!

    Glad the first part of your walk went well. The mornings and evenings here are awful with the humidity and warmth just staggering. The heat of the day is actually nicer as it burns off some of the humidity! The mosquitoes are bad enough to carry off small dogs and rather numerous. The flies are so bad too I ordered my fly paper stick ups for my two doors for the inside. Gross, but necessary. They come in a day or so,but not soon enough. I need to remember to order them in June! Sounds peaceful seeing the deer. I did take may May for a game of catch so she is entirely pooped out and we are all blessedly peaceful!

    I did not get to my 7 am small group. I forgot to take my melatonin last nite, and took my meds later than I wanted. I was up till after 3 am, so no way I was getting up at 6:30. :s I did get up at 8 am to get to my Dr appt. even though I had only about 4 hours of sleep. So I took a nap this afternoon while trying to watch a movie. Now if I can sleep tonite! I need to be in bed a little earlier! LOL!

    I am taking my car in the morning to have my repair work done. I should get it back on Friday. My daughter invited me to breakfast at Shoney's after we drop it off. For her diet she will do well as she plans egg, bacon, sausage and cheese and no carbs from the buffet. The biscuits and the french toast on the buffet will do me in as I am of the little will power persuasion. I can skip the eggs and pancakes though, no temptation. The fried potatoes always look better than they taste. I will keep that in mind. I did well today though. And I will do well on Thursday being house bound with my healthier foods! :#

    I kept wondering how some of these these young people pay their phone bills that run 100 dollars or much more a month. I get it now, the parents are paying it...Broke up Ma Bell to cater to corporate greed. I remember paying 10 to 15 dollars a month or less even with long distance...

    Sounds like you are paying our gas prices we had at the beginning of summer. We hover around three/gallon more or less.

    Have a great day! How is your garden doing? Jan

    Hi Val
    Yuck, $4.50 a gallon

    It is hard for me to remember being a kid these days. The ones on the TV news seem to be so passionate about causes.

    I like that Monopoly Set, Ours never had that neat holder in for the banker to use.

    Keep enjoying the vacation
