Hi JanHi!!
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...
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 had wondered about the why myself and forgot to askWhy did you get your doggie back?? I remember him cuze I never remember how to spell his name. Loved the pictures of them all asleep with you. Wish May would do that, I miss it!!
Just put two kings together, Val...
Yep, those are tax deferred accounts. Recommended by experts..not by me after using it...
Yum...Bacon!! Good luck on doing well with St Patty's Roger...
You would be right with that feast or famine theory, IMO..
I does not surprise me Em got those compliments, Val!!
Take care all... ..Jan
Experts, Ha and I bet they charged for that advice too.
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.
Started out fair at work, productive. Then had a meeting with my boss’ boss. He’s worse than the boss. He was such a jerk. I stayed professional. At the end of his ranting he complained that HE was having a hard day. I was already so sick...that meeting pushed me over the edge of functionality. After the call, i cried and tgen just logged off and cuddled my doggos.

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
This mornings weather forecast was titled Spring Fail
I could see the Super Moon last night around the 9:30 to 10PM time period as it appeared when the clouds that were moving in did not obscure it. This morning not a trace of it through the heavy cloud cover

I need to readjust and get over the guilt!! They are killing me....
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.

That is not a big surprise to me that a jerks boss is a bigger jerk TBH. It is crying shame You are stuck there for now.

That is a good thing, I tend to be optimistic until it is nearly to late
If I said that does not look like a Greyhound mix, How do You tell ? He still looks like a boxer mix to me, what do I know however.

Good morning!
Thanks for the roofing advice, Roger..I am sure it will come in handy! I did a little better getting back to my diet again.. I sure wish I had not messed up!! Interesting articles and love the bit about the BBq sauce. Sorry your weather seems a little more dismal. It has sure been a winter of contrasts.
Val, I am very glad that Bord..'s family did return him and not just put him in a shelter or sell him to someone unvetted os worse, abandon him. Bless his heart. I hope you get to feeling better too. You sure do not need to be dealing with those crazy bosses and being sick. Love your pic..I can see a greyhound behind, lol..
May visit my son and family at a state park for a few hours tomorrow. It will be later after school, but should be pretty and at sunset. With any luck at all.
Everyone needs to rest up!! If possible and have a good week end! ...Jan1 -

I'm sorry to hear that, does that mean the Antibiotics are not helping ? I hope they are helping.
Did the warm salt water help ? I have never managed to gargle without choking on it and spraying it all over and making a mess.
Being able to talk again sounds hopeful
Good Luck and sleep well

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
Enjoy the Visit

Hi
I'm back home from walking and no money was found. The Temperature out the door was showing 35 degrees. The Rain yesterday ended in the afternoon and the winds picked up as the cold front moved in. This morning while walking there was a stiff breeze with high wind gusts causing a wind chill that was tolerable, barely having heard the wind gusts throughout the night I added a light long sleeve under the sweatshirt and hoodie.

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 -
