Good morning!!
My yard guy showed up. I had done some things to make his job easier, though he probably would not believe me or noticed. I still have a lot to do to get it ready though. So pretty outside I do not mind.
Hopefully he has left me a few wildflowers, lol...I do miss custom cutting my lawn, lol... (He did leave some, praise the Lord!!). Roger, My yard is almost an acre and a half of hard cutting..lots of trees to avoid and also fences, and hills and just weird stuff...I really would not want someone to cut it for free (unless they were family or like someone I would feed dinner for 2x weekly for doing it, lol...
Val, sorry for the sticks, that can be uncomfortable for sure. My daughter has weird reactions to contrast too sometimes. It is a weird feeling, even if expected. I love your painting!! Resembles a Van Gogh though since he did it first, well you may not be famous or rich. You may not lose an ear either!! Much better than I could do!! Your water is quite lovely...I am impressed!! I have seen ones less pretty or talented sell!!
Slow process but I am enjoying throwing junk away!! Sometimes it is hard to let go, but really I will never miss it, the kids have their own junk, and the flea markets can be overflowing with the same stuff no one really wants anymore.. Trying to be tough!!
Interesting on the Russian-American fly overs. I wonder how everyone knows it is in compliance??
Have a great Wednesday!! ...Jan

Hi
I'm back home from walking and not one cent was found. The Temperature out the door was 42 degrees. The possibility of rain overnight did not happen here and the forecast breeze is starting up with higher wind gusts in the forecast.
Monday I got a notice from The Town Property tax office that the NJ Property tax rebate was being credited against the upcoming quarterly property tax, $167 for my half of the house and my brother had a check for the same amount recently, Every little bit helps

The start of the mowing season for You, At least You have wildflowers, Here the only that that blooms are usually weeds or some wild Chicory.
Acre and a Half would make me leave most of it naturalized, IE overgrown
It took me a minute to figure out what You meant by Sticks then a light bulb went on over my headVal, sorry for the sticks, that can be uncomfortable for sure. My daughter has weird reactions to contrast too sometimes. It is a weird feeling, even if expected. I love your painting!!

It can be hard getting rid of things that the family used in the past.
Interesting on the Russian-American fly overs. I wonder how everyone knows it is in compliance??

As I mentioned I liked the Painting too. Who knows, Rich and famous could happen.
Just curious what sort of stuff are the flea markets overflowing with, What is junk in one part of the country can be a treasure in another area.
As I remember from the Russian Flyovers the Plane is inspected first. There were details in the article.

I'm sorry to hear that the week is going so poorly for You.
I had a feeling that the court date would get postponed unless it is due to how You are feeling ?
Have a Nice Day despite the illness

Court was postponed because lawyer was sick. I would show up even if sick. Today took sick day because too sick to work.

Good morning,
Val, hope you feel better soon! For you to take a sick day must really be unusual!! I do not ever recall you taking anything except when you were in the hospital.
Roger, I remember reading they checked the planes, but to me I would think it might be easy to put something over on someone else, technologically speaking...One of those times I am so hampered myself I just thought it would be possible!!
Glad NJ had something good to give you!! I know sometimes the state's doings can be more than frustrating.
I did work in the yard some, though not as much as I would have liked. I went to lunch with a friend and talked for hours during the best sunshine. I did get to fill some holes and get my plants back out again as the weather is a little warmer at night, and watered. I bought a few more stones to put around one section. If I had my lawn mower I would really be "cooking!"
We are due to get about 6 or 7 days of rain straight on thru. With some severe weather in the process Thursday. I hope it stays south of me as I will be on the road. My daughter picked the day to finally get her car airbag fixed. Free- as it is a recall item. It only took her 4 1/2 years or so and she picked a weather alert day, lol!!
I had a hamburger and fries for lunch. First one in over about 4 months. It was good! Just had some eggs for dinner. probably too many carbs.. I do need a meal home!!
Take care all!! Val, get well soon!! ..Jan 1 -

Hi
I'm back home from walking and not one cent was found. The Temperature out the door was 41 degrees. Despite being 41 degrees there seemed to be a bit of a bite to the air.
FWIW The Free Hams at the local Shoprite were once again a no show Sunday and the butcher told my brother they should be in this upcoming weekend, Ha, Same thing he said the week before. It seems to be a store problem, Tuesday I went to a different ShopRite and picked one up from a small selection, They had Shank, Butt and Spiral at that ShopRite.

Hello JanGood morning,
Val, hope you feel better soon! For you to take a sick day must really be unusual!! I do not ever recall you taking anything except when you were in the hospital.

I am sure that the Russians had some sort of passive scanning that was prohibited, Hopefully the inspectors were good.
Frustrating State is so accurate. The NJ exit tax especially since My brother would love to leave, But where to go ?
How to avoid the “exit tax”
http://njmoneyhelp.com/2015/10/how-to-avoid-the-exit-tax/
It seems New Jersey taxes you like crazy when you’re here, and that the state wants one last bite before you leave
And the Politicians do not care if You get angry, Since You are leaving the state they are not worried about Your vote.
Wow, 6 or 7 days in a row of rain, Not good.I did work in the yard some, though not as much as I would have liked. I went to lunch with a friend and talked for hours during the best sunshine.

No fever today so I returned to work. Yesterday I was not functional. But i took a work call where a colleague said that another guy asked him to call me to see what was needed to “get me to do my job.” OMG! 🤬🤬🤬 um, I don’t need anything but me to “get me to do my job.” The guy who sent that one was upset that the answer to his request was no. And I provide the reasons and documentation to support that. That pissed me off. I survived all day and did good productive work. I’m still coughing up a storm. I think my throat infection is now a sinus infection. Seeing ENT Monday. Im so tired. Yesterday i had liquids only all day.
Jan - you are right, i very rarely take a sick day.
Roger, the sectretary said the lawyer was throwing up.
I’m going to bed. 6:30 pm. 🤣1 -
Hello!!
Sorry to hear it is an uphill battle there, Val. Those infections are just hard to shake. I swear, your company needs a Miss Manners course, in addition to a few shake ups. It is a REALLY strange company. (management...).
Hope the specialist helps. I am sure the extra rest was a help..intended or not. Great job on the weight loss!!!
The diet today did not work out as planned. I met a friend for lunch and had salad, veal parm and garlic bread. I planned on protein for a small super. Instead, I had a white pizza with gorgonzola cheese, spinach, and artichokes and a large piece of homemade chocolate cake with a white whipped cream frosting and chocolate drizzle that was to die for. Jenny wanted to catch supper after dropping off her car. Two Italian restaurants does not = a diet day, lol....But it was a great day!! Guessing Tomorrow will not be, lol...
Exiting taxes...who knew...
Take care all. Praying you get your ham, Roger...at some point.... ...Jan1 -

Hi
I'm back home from walking and one cent was found. The Temperature out the door was 44 degrees. There is a mild breeze, a lot less than Yesterday.
Rain is in the forecast for possibly this morning followed by a break and heavier rain this afternoon.

The people where You work do not sound like they have a brain in their heads, I am amazed that the company is still in business based on what I hear from You. Sick days should not be questioned unless they appear to be abused and I am sure some people do abuse them making things tough for all.
Good Luck Feeling better and at the ENT office visit

I think You have understated that company as strange.
You and I both with Thursdays eats. There is always today to get back on course. The Veal Parm sounds OK, The Garlic bread sounds tasty, not Keto naturally. The Pizza and cake, Oh well once You blew it the mind tells You go ahead enjoy the already lost day IMO.
Yesterday I was OK until lunch, Then a Whole Italian Hot Dog which is a long Sandwich roll, Fried Onions, Potatoes and Hot Dogs, I had them hold the Green Peppers and Mustard. Followed by a Slice of Pepperoni and a slice of Sausage Pizza and French Fries that are so crunchy and tasty. They taste and appear to have been lightly batter before going into the fryer.
NJ, NY and Connecticut are all grab as much money from the taxpayer as You can. That is what comes from the states having a governor, and State houses all from the same party, no checks on what they want to do. The NY state budget appears to have been at least partially cloaked in darkness behind closed doors.
Regarding the Ham I had posted this on the fourth,
FWIW The Free Hams at the local Shoprite were once again a no show Sunday and the butcher told my brother they should be in this upcoming weekend, Ha, Same thing he said the week before. It seems to be a store problem, Tuesday I went to a different ShopRite and picked one up from a small selection, They had Shank, Butt and Spiral at that ShopRite.
As I am sitting here feeling like ordering the One Pound Steak Dinner from a nearby location that includes Fries and an some vegetables and a piece of Italian Bread
The is for feeling so tempted.
Have a Good Day

One big reason I’ve been do good about food choices is thst I’m not going out. I would have a hard time keeping to healthy choice and appropriate portions if i went out to eat.
Rsin expected all Saturday and Sunday here. My front yard weeds were getting tall, so I hurried to mow the front before work today.
I wish I could sleep all day today but wirk deadlines are looming.
That guy who called hadn’t known i was sick. He just wanted to bully me into giving the other dude whst that guy wanted...which would be a contract violation which is why i said no. I told the first dude again why i said no and told him yo contact my boss if he thought we should violate that contract for his needs. I am not authorized to violate our contracts.
It used to be a great company but new President and her flunkies have totally changed everything (without understanding anything), so lots of chaos.1 -
good morning,
I saw you seem to be getting some severe weather this week end for Texas. Hope it is not too bad, Val. And hope you get to feeling better..Hard not to let idiots bother you, I know. So true about the eating out!!
My intention was to have a great diet day. Somehow Jenny and I managed to end up at our Thai restaurant after her getting a brand new Toyota Corolla as a loaner, for free. Toyota pays because the parts are on back order. It is a shiny red. She is having fun driving it. I actually only went over my calories by about 200, so it could have been worse. I have managed to eat out 4x this week. I really need some meals home!! Roger, your post had me thinking that food all sounded pretty good!! Congrats on the penny!!
I did not read about the ham right. I thought you were still waiting on yours but your brother got one also just by going to a different store. My bad...
Hang in there...resisting temptation!!! ...Jan1 -
I already did it, the it being posted more humor, Enjoy
Hi
I'm back home from walking and no cents were found. The Temperature out the door was 41 degrees, OTOH the time & temperature display I passed showed 38 degrees. Either way it felt a lot less cold than Yesterday.
The rain from yesterday was gone when I went out the door, I did get dripped on from trees I walked under so I am guessing it had not ended all the much earlier.

I do not have to go out to eat poorly, so many delivery choices, Chinese, Italian and more form multiple sources. The way I manage to avoid that is by not having money to order take out food since I will not pull out a credit card and use it over the phone when ordering In my opinion the Credit cards are for emergency use only or large car repair bills and not everyday expenses.

You are working with, words fail me for bosses.
The last job I had for 16 years used to be a good job until the Owner sold out towards the last years and it rapidly went downhill from there. I was relieved when I turned 62 and could retire if I could not take it any longer. When Superstorm Sandy closed us down a week or two before the scheduled closing I was happy with the early demise and I turned 65 a couple of days later and could go on Medicare. I had seen the handwriting on the wall for a while as the computer repair and sales business slowly declined. For the last several years I was the entire staff at that location, 6 days a week and 53 hours a week and a owner that felt that yelling was a good management style
Have a Good Weekend
