Good morning!
!
Glad you have a sense of humor about things, Roger!! Always a help today!!
The dinner went great! The person next to me was from small group, and he ate my potatoes and dessert. The rolls were passed so I passed on that!
I had to cut carbs some to low, 20 grams or less...it is really low. We all did not eat fast enough and we ate some in the near darkness as people had their intros. If I went to more functions, I would know to eat immediately, I was kind of waiting for a benediction, this is the South!! We had wonderful chicken and the best roast beef I had had in a while! It melted in your mouth like butter. Of course at our table of 8 or so, I got the smallest piece, and I could eat the protein. Many people did not even eat half of theirs, partly due to the speakers starting. I was wishing I had brought a giant doggie bag for their leftovers!!! Tony Blair was a wonderful and encouraging speaker, and with a self depreciating sense of humor about funny incidents while he served. Half was speech, and half a question and answer from the President of Faulkner. Good nite all around and fun to dress!
Val, I think you nailed what work was like in your description...And sorry!! Best the pup finds the right home, and returns to you. Sorry it did not work out!!
Roger I was hungry today so had my bacon and scrambled egg with both butter and bacon grease and some cheddar cheese in my eggs!! Yum!!!! I also had one fat bomb coffee. that was coffee with half and half and some butter you mix with an emulsifier. It is diary and it froths like cream. And you are far less hungry due to that!! Sounds gross, but not! You can do it with coconut oil too. 
I really hate people who let trash fly out the bed of their pick up trucks too! Happens alot as they use the bed for a giant trash can....
Good stories Roger!! They usually are!! Much appreciated! Have a good week end!! ...Jan1 -
Work is like pushing a boulder up hill. Working tomorrow (Sat) so i can take Sunday off for the adoption event. The return puppy was a trial. Very kind lady and she quickly realized she has too much to handle aside from a puppy. They figured out how to get out of their living room area. So now it’s officially time to housebeak them. They stay in the master bath when unattended or sleeping...and immediately parade to the yard where everyone simultaneously pees. Yes! Watching them play now...in hopes that soon will be bedtime. I had a scare last night...a friend in hospital texted me that her BP was way high (>200/150)...and the preist had given her the last rights (Catholic). Then silence. I called the hospital and there was no answer in her room...she was in ICU. She’s back in her regular room now still trying to control BP and pain. But it was so good to hear from her. Man these pups can run!!!1

I am not surprised that a expensive plate dinner like that had no benediction, There seems to be a push to ignore religion sadly. Hopefully the pendulum swings back that other way.
Congratulations on avoiding temptation
I see Murphy struck and You ended up with the smallest portion of what You could eat
Murphy's law is an adage or epigram that is typically stated as: "Anything that can go wrong will go wrong".
How nice that You enjoyed it, it could have been worse.
The Bacon and Scrambled Egg sounds tasty to me, The Coffee not. I drink it black and no sweetener of any kind, and TBH I do not like Flavored coffees either. I have heard of putting a stick of butter in a cup of coffee.Val, I think you nailed what work was like in your description...And sorry!! Best the pup finds the right home, and returns to you.

Latest coffee trend is to put butter in your coffee
I use butter with a lot of things, White Rice, Egg Rolls where I put a small slice into each bite, Since the Egg Rolls start out as high fat due to the frying adding the Butter, hmm...
My Brother has a F150 pick Up, and is careful to leave nothing fly out in it, some things go in the locking gang box. For example Groceries go behind the seats through a small door behind the regular doors and Things like cases of water and Seltzer do go into the bed but are to heavy to fly out
It make me happy that my choices are appreciated, I pass on more than I use and try to steer clear of Politics. I will be happy when the confirmation is either done or defeated and some real news appear in the Network News Broadcasts.
Have a Good Day

It sounds as if You are engaged in a Sisyphean task
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sisyphus
In Greek mythology Sisyphus or Sisyphos (/ˈsɪsɪfəs/; Greek: Σίσυφος, Sísuphos) was the king of Ephyra (now known as Corinth). He was punished for his self-aggrandizing craftiness and deceitfulness by being forced to roll an immense boulder up a hill only for it to roll down when it nears the top, repeating this action for eternity.
You should not have to work Saturday just to get Sunday off
Good luck with the housebreaking.
BP that high and last Rites being administered is never a good thing. I hope they control the BP quickly as that is dangerous territory. I bet You were worried.
Have a Nice Day

My job - Sisyphus! 🤣. Today I worked 2 hours. Took Em to mall for a home coming dress. She’s adorable. Size 1 and shapely. School dress code rules are so conservative that none of the dresses would be allowed. After the mall, I took a hard nap. I feel really sick. Wondering about West Nile because I have a million mosquito bites from supervising pups in the yard.l1

Good morning!
Kind of a rough week end Val. Hope the puppy showing goes well. And you feel better!!
Roger you need to find some change! It has been a while.
Accomplished little today and talked to about 1 million people...and it felt like it, lol...
I could use a rest from my rest day!!
Pretty sure I was never a size one....
Dark here by 6:30. Just a few days ago it was by 7 pm...
Be consistent with the dieting! Over ate some today but still okay!! Just combined two proteins I should have not due to calories.. But it is okay, lol...

Hi
I'm back home from walking and No Money found. The Temperature out the door was 68 degrees and semi comfortable for my walk due to a increase in humidity. It stayed Gloomy all day Saturday and there was some light rain in the afternoon followed by more rain in the overnight from looking at the roads when I headed out the door for my walk. I also felt a on and off really light drizzle.

That was the first thing that popped into my head sadly.
Size 1 is tiny as far as I know. I will say that IMO there is nothing wrong with a conservative dress code for school.
I hope You are wrong about West Nile, You could go for a test if You are covered for that testing.
I hate Mosquitoes when they start that whine in the ears and the itching that happens after they bite
Good Luck with the Pups

I agree, the money finding drought is making me wonder if people are picking up any that they drop based on economy worries or what.
It is dark earlier and earlier here too. The Halloween Decorations that I hung in (on?) the Living Room Picture window. Those would be a back-lit Bat and a back-lit Black Cat provide enough light that I do not feel the need for additional light and they look good from the street when I look at them as I head out the door walking. The Cat has glowing green eyes and the Bat has Glowing Red Eyes.
I am currently trying to decide if I want to go to the ShopRite Grocery Store and look at the Hot Food Bar for meats that I can use with my Lunch and Dinner. I have some Corned Beef Round cuts defrosting that I picked up from the Deli End Cuts bin, There are some nice looking slices that will make a nice Sandwich, especially if I pick up some lower calorie Rye Bread and use Thousand Island dressing as a sandwich spread.
The Problem with going is trying not to buy the wrong things
Proteins are not as bad as eating things liked Scalloped Potatoes or Macaroni Salad or Potato Salad
Have a Good Day

Exhausted from today...body hurts. Took an Aleve...hoping for relief. All but two puppies were adopted. I have Lucky and Poppy. Talked to many nice folks today. Enjoyable but taxing on an introvert. I know i was never a size 0. My mom would never buy me any clothes that fit...she’d buy size 18 and tell me to grow into it. Em’s 5’2” and 100 pounds. I agree that many of the “dresses” are too revealing. There was nothing we found at the mall that fit the requirements.1

I just googled...there is no treatment for West Nile, yet it says to contact your doctor. Why pay money if they can’t do anything?1

That might be old info on West Nile. We gave the horses west Nile shots and while it was no cure, it does seem to lessen the severity and/or length of disease in most the animals. Not all. the vets wanted to give it and these were vets I trusted with my life..or that of my horses. of course that's horses, not humans, lol....Still!!
Still doing keto and resisted all tempters. Bought mashed cauliflower frozen with chives by birdseye. pricey at $2.50 for a small, they say 3 serving size. I would say 1 serving the way I like mashed potatoes. I mixed the 1 gram ricotta cheese, like a good tablespoon and it does taste very much like potatoes. Then imagine my surprise. I was full! So I will get 2 meals from each. Pricey but better and oh so convenient over making it homemade!
You will have to take a pic of Lucky and Poppy! Like you do not have anything to do and feel well, lol...Just wondered what they looked like, though I will go back to past pictures!!
Val, I hope you feel better soon!!
Love your meat selections, Roger!!

I just posted the latest humor
Hi
I'm back home from walking and No Money found. The Temperature out the door was 70 degrees and Semi comfortable except for when the breeze was blowing and then it was comfortable.
An Indian walks into a cafe with a shotgun in one hand and pulling a male buffalo with the other. He says to the waiter:
“Want coffee.”
The waiter says, “Sure, Chief. Coming right up.”
He gets the Indian a tall mug of coffee.
The Indian drinks the coffee down in one gulp, turns and blasts the buffalo with the shotgun, causing parts of the animal to splatter everywhere and then just walks out.
The next morning the Indian returns.
He has his shotgun in one hand, pulling another male buffalo with the other.
He walks up to the counter and says to the waiter:
“Want coffee.”
The waiter says, “Whoa…! We’re still cleaning up your mess from yesterday. What was all that about, anyway?”
The Indian smiles and proudly says,
“Training for a position in United States Senate. Come in, drink coffee, shoot the bull, leave mess for others to clean up, disappear for rest of day.

Lessening the severity is a worth goal if that is the best they can do.
Our Grocery store has riced Cauliflower packaged so You can do whatever flavors You might want to try. If You get two meals for $2.50 that is not a obscene price
Serving sizes IMO are designed to give the nutrition info that they think will work to increase sales.

Long work day. We have another adoption event on Saturday. These pups are very adoptable. We found out that mNy attebding sundays event didn’t even know there were rescues inside the building so we didn’t get as much traffic as we might have. My ulcers hurt a whole bunch. I cannot tolerate the medication. Only other option is surgery. I’m terrified of another round if sepsis.1

Good morning!
I love Lucky...I would adopt him in a heart beat..I am surprised he was not first to go!! Though usually I like the quiet shy ones. He looks too twinkly to be that!! Of course, i would adopt them all!!
Sorry you are still feeling so poorly, Val! Hope you feel better soon. I would sympathize greatly about returning to the hospital after what you have been thru. Hopefully the next adoption will be better attended also!
Looks like N. Carolina will get rain they do not need. I think it will not move across the panhandle into N Fla. which would be better for the Florence victims. It sure is gaining momentum quickly...
We are on the western side, so far so good.
Jenny made me keto german potato salad out of cauliflower. I will send you all the recipe. It is fantastic and comes very close to real potato salad. Roger, you can add bacon, and Val, you can use veggie bacon. I think it will adapt to a regular salad also with eggs, celery, or whatever you put into it normally. So close!!!
What a week!! Still waiting to slow down some....Jan1
