Hi
I'm back home from walking and No Money found. The Temperature out the door was 67 degrees, humid, and Semi comfortable except for when the off and on drizzle was falling.

We found out that many attending 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.
Sorry to hear that You had another long day at work.
I have a suspicion that Your ulcers are making it harder to diet, and have proper nutrition. Do they also make You eat more as in food helps alleviate the pain.
Darn it what a shame that happened, Better luck this upcoming Sunday.
I would be worried about surgery too, Since You had Sepsis already I can see why Your are worried about it.

Hi JanGood 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....Jan
So true the Carolinas do not need more rain. It is gaining strength too darn it. Hopefully You escape Michael entirely.
The Keto German potato sounds like a interesting dish, I love potato salad however it does not love me. . You could post it in a personal mail here or if it is on the internet a link would work. I am sort of interested in trying a Cauliflower Steak too.

Roasted Cauliflower Steaks
Rated as 4.56 out of 5 Stars
"You might've tried boiling, mashing, and even turning cauliflower into 'rice'. For a different take on cauliflower, try these oven-roasted cauliflower steaks seasoned with a simple lemon-garlic sauce. Serve the steaks with chimichurri sauce or topped with roasted cherry tomatoes, sliced green olives and crumbled feta cheese."

The keto potato salad sounds good! Poppy went to a foster-possible-adopter. They said they’d let us know Saturday. So Lucky is the last. He’s a fabulous hound. Good aim at the potty pads plus goes outside when I take the pack out. Work is crazy but not bad. I’m happy about the latter.1

Good morning!
Well, we were going to the beach in November...hope it is still there....
We had actually talked about going the 1st or 2nd week in Oct. Escaped a bullet there! Supposed to come in as a Cat 4...lots of praying going on. It will hit Okaloosa Island by PC which is where we stay.
Can not believe you found no money Roger!!
Glad work is better Val..hope you feel better each day!
Finally got my recyclables recycled...only took 3 weeks..
Trying for labs again Weds. ..My yard guy came Tuesday and I did not get there, lol!!
Shopped for great deals on chicken. Had early dinner with a friend, whose dog is suffering from Cushings and Pancreatitis..The dog is twelve and developed the Cushings in the last year.. Now this. not looking too good.. She just lost her sweet little chihuahua and they are a dog breed I am not overly fond of 
...but I sure loved him..A cutie!

I hope that it does not damage where You stay, Good timing on the when
Three Weeks for recycling ? Ours comes by every two weeks and is done by the County rather than by the town. The town does run a local recycling Yard too.
Good Luck getting the Labs done.
The ShopRite had a coupon in the latest circular for a Perdue Roaster at $0.99 a pound. I have plenty of Breast meat in the refrigerator from the one my brother picked up Sunday and cooked Monday, Free as he only eats the dark meat. OTOH If I pick a Rotisserie Chicken up at CostCo we whack it up so it all works out OK.Shopped for great deals on chicken. Had early dinner with a friend, whose dog is suffering from Cushings and Pancreatitis..The dog is twelve and developed the Cushings in the last year.. Now this. not looking too good..

I'm sorry that Your friends Dog is in poor shape. I'm not a fan of chihuahuas as they always seem to be noisy and Noise is the enemy as far as I am concerned.
What Breed of dog is suffering now ?
Good Luck Making Headway at Home

I’m so glad I had said something positive about work. Today wasn’t so good. Weather was pretty today. I agree that the majority of chihuahuas are yappy fussy things. I receive tons of compliments on my chihuahua because he is quiet and affectionate.1

Hi!!
Juggling watching about the storm and getting things done. Did not get much done.
Got to remember the recipe!!
Val, I think I would like your Chihuahua!! Owners have a lot to do with any of their dogs!
My friends dog looks a little perkier, She is a heinz 57--looks a little like a long hair doxy but shorter body!
Pics on Face book of Michael is devastating. As well as news..Lots of people around here have relatives that rode it out, some getting pictures to folks..not sure how..

I would not worry about saying good things or bad things about work as long as they are accurate. In Your case I'm sure that they are FWIW.

Good news for Your Friend with the dog.
I suspect that they are getting Internet access from Smartphones and a data plan. Cellular towers have back up power in case of power outages and that is my best guess.

I’m going to take credit for my chihuahua. I adopted him at 1 year old...he was totally aggressive toward people. The “owners” had never touched him and refused to get near him. I cornered him, threw a towel over him and took him home. Within1/2 hour he was on my lap and letting me pet him. Em was only 4 years old, so it took about 3 days before he accepted her. After i had him about a year, he was happy to accept anyone i told him to. Now, he’ll accept anyone that first pets my other dogs. But there is a nature basis as well. Work going well again today.1

Good morning!!
It gets dark so early now. I can not believe the time change is in November! Fall has finally hit here!! We are in the 70's and will be in the 50's at nite!! Sunshine for about a week!! Everyone is so excited!!Keep missing the news...only time I miss cable!! I forget to look at 5 pm on my CBS access, or I am tied up....oh well!
My friends dog had a spell again.. doing good, then on a check, they could not rouse her. With in the time they called my friend and she was fixing to leave work, she rallied again.. Her BS is not it..not sure it is seizures..just do not know. Her electrolytes are out of whack..Not good when the vets are puzzled..They are doing an ultra sound possibly. maybe the lytes are causing an arrhythmia..I am guessing...
I think you train your doggies better than I do, val! You are certainly more fearless!! I was so proud of May. I got her to hop on my bed. LOL other people train their dogs off the couch and bed..I am trying to train her on!!
The awaited recipe: We loved it!
Grandma's "German " potato salad
16 oz frozen cauliflower
4 slices bacon (or more, lol) cook crisp and chopped
1/4 cup sour cream
1/4 cup mayo
2 green onions chopped fine
2 Tablespoons fresh parsley chopped fine
1 Tablespoon dill pickle juice ( like Clausen's)
Salt and pepper to taste
Cook cauliflower till tender. (Jenny cooked hers like 6-7 min. so not mushy- like your potatoes for salad.)
Drain well. Chop in small bite size pieces, between a dime and quarter size. In med. bowl mix sour cream, mayo, onions, parsley, pickle juice. Stir in cauliflower till well mixed. Add bacon, and salt and pepper to taste. Serve warm, cold, or room temperature. If you heat it later, warm in microwave on low. Do not let it boil.
6 servings at 132 cal. serv. 12 g fat, 3 g protein, 5g carbs, 2 g fiber, 3g net carbs.
This was good leftover the next day. The cauliflower smell was stronger, but it still tasted the closest to potatoes I have had for keto.
Recipe is good with red potatoes too for potato eaters!
We are going to try a reg. version with celery, onion, and lots of egg for a reg. "Potato" salad and see what happens..:)
Love the little fox story!! ...Jan

I'm back home from walking and No Money found. The Temperature out the door was 62 degrees and comfortable due to the low humidity and breeze.
There was rain overnight, I had heard it hitting the bedroom AC around 3AM and with the breeze things were drying out by 5AM. I did see three come out of a driveway and go trotting down the street on a street where I had not sen them before.

They do not sound as if they should have been pet owners, pets take a bit of work and if You do not want to do the work, don't have a pet.
New York City is a cruel place, Bump into someone on the subway and they may slash you for that, Argue and You might get slashed or shot
Then this one made me shake my head. What's wrong with people, is it the overcrowding or the way they were raised ?

I'm sorry to hear that and even sorrier that the vets are puzzled, Not good. I suspect Your guess that it is the electrolytes is correct as that is the only thing out of whack. Do they do catscans or MRIs on dogs, thst might be revealing ?
TBH in many cases You can pretty well guess at the content on CBS, NBC, and ABC.
A longish portion covering Trump with there usual biased coverage, Still covering the protests against Kavanaugh. Although he did undermine some of the rhetoric when he did what he said he would do if confirmed and hire all women as his law clerks, Nice move there and of course how dare he do what he said he would do
Semi accurate weather forecast, I base that on we we get here.
The Pickle juice is what gives it that tang that I remember from German potato Salad I suspect. Being somewhat lazy I would likely just use the Pre Cooked Bacon from the Grocery StoreThe awaited recipe: We loved it!

I would expect it to work with Red Potatoes naturally, I'm not sure how well it will adapt to being a regular potato salad.
Around here when You say Potato salad there is no hard boiled Egg, that goes into a variant of potato salad that costs more. Then there is also Egg Salad with no Potatoes at all. I generally make my egg salad with Miracle whip and No sugar added zero calorie Sweet relish and nothing else and put it on bread as a sandwich filling
You are indeed going against the norm training Your dog to jump up on the bed

Good day at work. Sad day for my dog-rescue friend...had to put down her 14 year old dog. Continual seizures and unable to stand. Taking Lucky to another adoption event tomorrow. I’m really in love with the little dude. He needs to find an awesome home.1
-
Hi!
Glad you had a good day at work!! You are way do for several!! So sorry about your friends dog..they are family and it hurts accordingly. Sometimes worse...maybe she will fall in love with Lucky...though it is too soon..even if she would get another dog.
Just a dumb day.. accomplished nothing. Finally had the time and energy to wrap my Christmas box to Honduras...late..went up there and everyone had gone home early for Friday..Rotten drive with rotten drivers..I will have to take it to church on Sunday along with my guest lunch. It is an extra trip to the opposite side of the building, so not looking forward to all that lugging..never got to do some cleaning or bills. I did however go out with Jenny to Longhorn for some really good prime rib, salad, and broccoli. I asked for a little butter on the side, and got a melted herb butter to dip my broccoli in. Oh yum!! I am liking this diet, Over ate though, and I should have asked for a to go box. I really can not eat as much anymore. Pretty sure I will not eat again till after noon on Sat. I was holiday stuffed.
Have a good week end! ...Jan 1
