A DOG owner couldn’t believe what she was seeing when her golden retriever gave birth to a GREEN puppy.
Her beloved pet Rio, aged three, gave birth last week to nine puppies – but when one came out mint green Louise Sutherland was stunned.
The rare occurrence is only known to have happened only three times before in the world.

Hi JanHello!
I am trying to get caught up on a lot! My house is a disaster, so I am cleaning and washing today. It is humid and buggy! All week it will be mid to upper 90's and humid! Uggh!! I saw that you responded to my Sunday post! I felt it was a win myself!
Pasta is always good in soups and stews, picking up flavor. One reason I love hominy or dumplings in things like that, too! I am however one of those people who prefer my spaghetti sauce on top my pasta. That way it doesn't get soggy when I am at the end. Crazy, I know, but there are some exceptions to my own rule. I have a feeling that it might be how you were raised too, and that is what tastes best, lol!
I do love zero guilt too! The soup sounded awesome, Val!! I hope your puppies are doing a bit better in their relations.
That is indeed how I always did the Tomato Gravy too, Added on top. On the cooking shows and contests they always stress adding the Pasta to the sauce in the pan and then plating it.You did a lot of walking Roger, especially for the humidity! Global warming??? I find it much much hotter than it used to be, in places it wasn't. But who knows if it is a huge cycle or not. Seems much research is presented flawed either way. I am tired of paying for other countries when it is as much their responsibility. What a mess...
Unbelievable story on the contact lenses! I can not believe! But I could see one or two, no pun intended, lol!
Stay on track all!! Trying to do good today!!! ..humor bound...Jan
I Know that there is Climate Change, However I also know that before there was man and civilization we had climate changes, Ice Ages where the ocean level dropped, and Global warming where the ocean Level rose and we had a inland Sea in the Western part of the USA.
Now if they could get the Large Polluters to clean up their act. Those being in most cases Communist Regimes such as China and Russia. We have already reduced emissions here in the USA, It is time for the rest of the world to do so too. That is an opinion of course. I'm with You why should our economy take a Hit that the competing countries such as China are not taking.
Chores done. Laundry Washed, Dried and folded. 1/3 to 1/2 of the car waxed. Now time for some cereal and relaxation.
Tomorrow is another day to do the Vacuuming
Affluenza, Yuck
Congratulations on this too.

Good morning!
I was up at 5 am this morning. Only problem is I am ready to go back to bed. I was hoping to get in 8 hrs. sleep and went to bed early. Instead I got 5 hrs. and do not feel so energetic. I think that my B/P pills might have stopped working, as I was really wide awake and should not have been. At least I am up as I am going shopping with a friend and have to get moving early. This way I have time for coffee and sitting with the puppies!
You are on fire with your chores, Roger! I wish i was, lol!
I noticed 23 calories seemed a little low for so much time!
That's a bummer!!
More later, on the way to make caffeinated coffee.... zzzzzzzzz's 1 -

Hi Jan
I am now feeling like I could use a nap too. I thought the Green Dog was just so weird
I wonder about the BP pills, would they have that effect?
I was shocked it showed 23 calories, Oh well, It is what it is.

The contact lens story is gross. The affluenza story is infuriating!!! Groing up, we topped pasta with sauce...but I've changed to throwing it all together and letting the pasta soak up the sauce. I froze some of my soup, and am still working on the rest...added some freshly crockpotted beans for a little change. Really tasty. I think i need to take Spike back to the vet...worried he might have a broken rib. He's breathing fine...but again today (almost a week after the incident) he screamed when i lifted him. Here's a surprise...work sucks. I'm pulling 11-hour days and boss keeps shoveling it on. Bought Em new uniform pants for school. Well, they aren't traditional uniform pants...teenager pants that pass as uniform pants. School starts in one month!1

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/'Allo_'Allo
'Allo 'Allo! is a BBC television British sitcom that was first broadcast on BBC One from 1982 to 1992, comprising 85 episodes. The story is set in a small-town café in German-occupied France during the Second World War. It is a parody of another BBC programme, the wartime drama Secret Army. 'Allo, 'Allo! was created by David Croft, who also wrote the theme music, and Jeremy Lloyd. Lloyd and Croft wrote the first six series. The remaining series were written by Lloyd and Paul Adam.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hi-de-Hi!
Hi-de-Hi! was a BBC television sitcom shown on BBC1 from 1 January 1980 to 30 January 1988.
Set between 1959 and the early 1960s in Maplins, a fictional holiday camp, the show was written by Jimmy Perry and David Croft, who also wrote Dad's Army and It Ain't Half Hot Mum amongst other programmes. The title was the greeting the campers heard and in early episodes was written Hi de Hi. The series revolved around the lives of the camp's management and entertainers, most of them struggling actors or has-beens.
The inspiration was the experience of Jimmy Perry, one of the writers. After being demobilised from the Army, he was a Redcoat at Butlins, Pwllheli during the holiday season.
The series gained large audiences and won a BAFTA as Best Comedy Series in 1984. In a 2008 poll on Channel 4, Hi-de-Hi! was voted the 35th most popular comedy

Good morning!
Val, I hope Spike is okay. I am sure he would be sore, but I always like to check it out with the vet. It just saves worrying in my opinion, and not knowing for sure. Worth the trip for that alone !
What is wrong with our judges? They seem to give such light sentences to so many that have caused such pain and loss. That Delaware judge was unbelievable. How can she get away with that. I know money talks, but I still do not see it. People need to start speaking up.
I am having a time sticking to a plan lately. Last minute snacking is doing me in. I do best when I stay at home for a few days. Eating at meetings and out have got my cravings in full swing. I am still trying to keep off the weight I lost rather than working on new. Sure makes me wish I had tried harder sooner, lol!
I love British shows. I can't wait to watch what you listed here. I have to run to the bank, though maybe I will put it off till Thurs., clean, water and have an almost down day!
Are you in your 5 lb range? I think of that, I am still outside it, so intend to do better today!!
We are going to be in the high, high 90's without the humidity this week, and the humidity runs in the 70's except around 1pm when it sometimes takes a dip for a bit. Still too buggy!! Take care!! ..Jan 1 -
I survived another day. Chief Compliance Officer attended today's meeting (where i had been having that conflict). She ordered them to extend the launch date until further notice.

My opponents were silent or sulky on the call...because now they have to do what id been saying all along. Positional authority is easier than my way. Very tired.

Manufacturing Hate for 'Made in America'
Michelle Malkin
Posted: Jul 19, 2017 12:01 AM
It's "Made In America" week in Washington, D.C. You'd think this would be cause for bipartisan celebration. Who could be against highlighting the ingenuity, self-reliance and success of our nation's homegrown entrepreneurs and manufacturers?
Enter Bill Kristol.
The entrenched Beltway pundit ridiculed a festive kickoff event on Monday at the White House, where President Donald Trump hosted companies from all 50 states to showcased their American-made products.
"Maybe it's just me," killjoy Kristol tweeted, "but I find something off-putting about turning the White House into an exhibition hall for American tchotchkes." (That's the Yiddish word for useless trinkets).
"Tchotchkes"?
Tell that to the engineers at Hytrol, the Arkansas-based conveyor manufacturer that brought a mechanical display of its technology to the State Dining Room. Hytrol's late founder, Tom Loberg, started out as a gopher at an electronics parts factory during the Great Depression, worked his way up to designing Navy turbines, hydraulic pumps and cylinders, and entered the conveyor belt business after perfecting bag-transporting machinery for seed, grain and tobacco farmers.
Hytrol's state-of-the-art products are now used by companies ranging from Amazon.com to Office Depot to leading pharmaceutical, retail, food and publishing conglomerates around the world. A pioneer in the materials handling industry, Hytrol employs 1,300 high-skilled workers and will rake in revenues of more than $200 million this year alone.
CARTOONS | Gary Varvel
View Cartoon
"Tchotchkes"?
Tell that to the employees of Wisconsin's Pierce Manufacturing, which displayed one of its 30,000 custom-built fire trucks on the White House front lawn. Pierce started out as an auto body shop operating out of a converted church and now boasts a 2,000-person workforce. The company produces the iconic aerial tillers, pumpers, tankers and rescue trucks driven by first responders across the country every day.
"Tchotchkes"?
Tell that to Iowa-based RMA Armament's founder Blake Waldrop, a former Marine and police officer, who was inspired to manufacture stronger body armor after losing a comrade in Iraq to an IED attack. His ceramic plates, also featured at the "Made in America" event on Monday, have been purchased by police departments in Baltimore, Los Angeles and Waterloo, Iowa. Waldrop is working on partnerships to bring his products to the U.S. military and overseas.
"I always tell people I didn't invent armor any more than Steve Jobs invented the computer," Waldrop told the Des Moines Register earlier this year. "I just found a better way to do it, just like he did."
"Tchotchkes"?
Delaware's ILC Dover participated in President Trump's "Made in America" exhibition, too. Its trademark trifling bauble? The space suit worn by every U.S. astronaut since Project Apollo. Prolific inventor-turned-industrialist Abram Spanel, a Russian-born son of Jewish garment workers, spun off the company from his giant latex conglomerate that manufactured everything from girdles and swimwear to canteens and lifeboats.
ILC Dover produced high-pressure suits and helmets for the Air Force before winning a contract to design suits for NASA. In addition to displaying spacesuits used on the Space Shuttle and International Space Station programs, the company brought to the White House its DoverPac Flexible Isolator System used by pharmaceutical companies in their manufacturing processes; its Sentinel respirator used in the health care industry; and its SCape escape respirator used to protect U.S. government officials around the world from carbon monoxide, chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear contaminants.
Could Trump and his family's own companies do better in hiring American and manufacturing in America? Sure.
To nastily deride the makers and job creators proudly showing off their wares in the nation's capital at the invitation of our commander in chief takes a special level of anti-Trump lunacy and arrogance.
"Maybe it's just me," Kristol snarked as he heaped scorn on "Made in America" week.
Yes, it is just you, Kristol, and the rest of your Beltway Swamp "schmendricks" who turn their noses at the "tchotchkes" that help save lives, move mountains and break barriers across the galaxy.
The rest of us give praise and thanks.

Hi Jan
It is so weird. What can that Judge have been thinking.
I am currently outside the 5 pound range, yesterday probably did not help, May not have hurt OTOH. I had a Salad from Wendy's and attempted to compensate for the calories from it.
You might also look at Dad's Army.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dad's_Army
Dad's Army is a BBC television sitcom about the British Home Guard during the Second World War. It was written by Jimmy Perry and David Croft and broadcast on the BBC from 1968 to 1977. The sitcom ran for 9 series and 80 episodes in total, plus a radio version based on the television scripts, a feature film and a stage show. The series regularly gained audiences of 18 million viewers and is still repeated worldwide.
Good Luck

Hello!
Well, crazy day. I went to the show with my daughter and saw 47 meters or something like that. It was kind of panned in the reviews, which i do not usually listen to. It was pretty good with a twist, so I really enjoyed that. Always nice to spend time with her. We went to IHOP and had lunch. She was healthy, I was not! I had a BLT and hashbrowns. But I did have water! We sat and talked awhile, so I got nothing else done today, lol!
It was 104 when we left the restaurant, without humidity of course. I did get a brief rain shower when I got home, and cooled it to 90 or so. It was hot all nite, in the mid to upper 80's.I am sure it rained because I watered, lol!
Love all these shows you are coming up with. I will be busy for a while!!
Kristol is an idiot. It is frightening how many are running around in positions of importance. I am excited Trump could find products made in America. It is not easy!
I had seen the baby fawn story and posted it on FB for the rescue people. Sometimes you need a good story to keep you sane!!
I am out of my range of good eating. I am going out Friday nite for dinner, have guest lunch this Sunday, and small group eating.
I am going to watch portions and and stop my snacking in spite of that!! Bet you beat me down a few pounds!! 
Take care in the heat!! I am drinking lots of water!! ..Jan 1 -

104 is a temperature where I would have stayed home under the AC...
We had a brief period of heavy rain and wind early in the evening.

That is hard to say, I have had a Wendy's Salad and yesterday I had a ShopRite Salad and have one more for today.
The Grocery store salads are semi deceptively marked. Yesterday's was marked 180 calories per serving, And today's upcoming salad is marked 150 calories per serving. Where it is a little deceptive is that is that each container is 3.5 servings. Excited about approaching 100 pages here!!! Nice achievement, Rodger!!

Good morning!
Glad you walked and you found a dime!! You are rich again!! IHOP (Prattville) is an experience. I have eaten there before and my food was always good, though service is slow. They are in a bad place to be seen, first off, as there are many stores and restaurants and they sit back some. Jenny actually likes it though because she can order ala carte and stay on track. She had egg white omelette with veg and cheese and fruit. I tried to have chicken fried steak, but they did not have it. (I am thinking they did not buy it to cut costs.) So I opted for a BLT, which I have had a taste for all summer. They put in the toast first, then cooked everything else, I think. The toast, while okay color wise, was stone cold and dry, with no butter or mayo. They made a club out of the sandwich, but hardly any mayo in it either and it was dumb to do so, as each layer did not have each ingredient, so it was all bread. It was so dry it was hard to eat. ( It was badly made. Pretty much by someone who has never eaten good food, let alone cooked it. ) I should have got the hamburger or patty melt... I know you are asking why I did not return it... I hardly ever do, but this is one place Jenny can eat at, and goes often, so I hated to. Plus the food has been good before, though I do not go often.( You have to know what to order apparently, lol.) Also, the place is beautiful and kept very clean. That is partly because no one is ever there. Usually because of the service. They are sweet people, but I guess not real traveled or knowledgeable. I am not sure what the problem is exactly. The place has to be hemorrhaging money for the owner, unless they make it up on game day for the teams during the school year. The staff almost acts like they might all be family. (Maybe the owner's?) It is a weird vibe. The waiter is a young black guy, who acts so shy he can barely ask you what you want. He mumbles really badly, too. But it is with shyness and lack of knowledge, not really not caring. When he came back to tell me they had no steak he talked to me in the shorthand they use for the chef. It took us 3 times to realize what he was trying to say, and he finally realized how he was saying it. They are just so clueless and remedial, (and I hate to use that word) but it fits in the old sense of the word, not meant derogatory. I was just so sorry for them they presented that whole situation that I did not have the heart to say a thing. We were busy talking anyway, so quiet and empty was good. I could not work at a place and not present a better run place. Really weird......at least no ex-lax problems,lol!
The governor's lists are interesting! What a mess we are in....
Since my lifestyle seems to have taken a turn for the worse calorie wise, I have a real poppy seed roll at the house here like they made in Germany and the old Cleveland neighborhood that is gone, I think. So Yummy, as I have not had some in 25 years or so. Tomorrow will be a protein day, lol!
Be careful in the heat! Take care and have a great week-end!! Jan 1 -

Florida Man Says He Went ‘Bananas,’ Shot Out Utility Workers’ Tires
July 20, 2017 5:22 PM By Gary Nelson
HIALEAH (CBSMiami) — A Hialeah man admitted to police he went “bananas” and opened fire on utility trucks in order to stop them from leaving in front of his home.
Jorge Jove, 64, who confessed to firing as many as 18 shots into two AT&T work trucks, and allegedly fired at one worker, was released straight from jail on bond Thursday without having to go before a judge.
One of the utility workers, from a short distance away, recorded with his cell phone Wednesday as Jove, a retired firefighter, police say, went ballistic, upset that the trucks parked on his front swale and driveway and did not move quickly enough when he asked them to.
On the video, you can hear a worker calling 911 as Jove fires over and over again into the trucks, loading his high-powered revolver three times.
“Somebody is up in the bucket right now and they can’t come down because he’s shooting the truck,” one of the workers told 911.
Arriving police reported that they saw Jove fire at the man in the bucket at the top of a utility pole. Jove was booked on multiple counts of aggravated assault with a firearm. A police report says he told detectives that “he went bananas and wanted to stop (the workers) from leaving.”
Have a Great Weekend

Hi JanGood morning!
Glad you walked and you found a dime!! You are rich again!! IHOP (Prattville) is an experience. I have eaten there before and my food was always good, though service is slow. They are in a bad place to be seen, first off, as there are many stores and restaurants and they sit back some. Jenny actually likes it though because she can order ala carte and stay on track. She had egg white omelette with veg and cheese and fruit. I tried to have chicken fried steak, but they did not have it. (I am thinking they did not buy it to cut costs.) So I opted for a BLT, which I have had a taste for all summer. They put in the toast first, then cooked everything else, I think. The toast, while okay color wise, was stone cold and dry, with no butter or mayo. They made a club out of the sandwich, but hardly any mayo in it either and it was dumb to do so, as each layer did not have each ingredient, so it was all bread. It was so dry it was hard to eat. ( It was badly made. Pretty much by someone who has never eaten good food, let alone cooked it. ) I should have got the hamburger or patty melt... I know you are asking why I did not return it... I hardly ever do, but this is one place Jenny can eat at, and goes often, so I hated to. Plus the food has been good before, though I do not go often.( You have to know what to order apparently, lol.) Also, the place is beautiful and kept very clean. That is partly because no one is ever there. Usually because of the service. They are sweet people, but I guess not real traveled or knowledgeable. I am not sure what the problem is exactly. The place has to be hemorrhaging money for the owner, unless they make it up on game day for the teams during the school year. The staff almost acts like they might all be family. (Maybe the owner's?) It is a weird vibe. The waiter is a young black guy, who acts so shy he can barely ask you what you want. He mumbles really badly, too. But it is with shyness and lack of knowledge, not really not caring. When he came back to tell me they had no steak he talked to me in the shorthand they use for the chef. It took us 3 times to realize what he was trying to say, and he finally realized how he was saying it. They are just so clueless and remedial, (and I hate to use that word) but it fits in the old sense of the word, not meant derogatory. I was just so sorry for them they presented that whole situation that I did not have the heart to say a thing. We were busy talking anyway, so quiet and empty was good. I could not work at a place and not present a better run place. Really weird......at least no ex-lax problems,lol!
Interesting that You posted about a BLT, I made one yesterday as I found one of my Tomatoes with a spoiled spot. That 2/3 of it I used was Juicy & Sweet !.
I used the 647 Italian Bread = 80 calories total, Four slices of Precooked Bacon 20 calories per slice, ShopRite brand, Miracle Whip, The Really Ripe Tomato slices, Some of my brothers already opened Lettuce and it was pretty good. I am sorry to hear Your BLT was like that. FWIW I make sure if I get a BLT out to order a BLT with Mayo...
It sounds like a clueless, weird waiterThe governor's lists are interesting! What a mess we are in....
Since my lifestyle seems to have taken a turn for the worse calorie wise, I have a real poppy seed roll at the house here like they made in Germany and the old Cleveland neighborhood that is gone, I think. So Yummy, as I have not had some in 25 years or so. Tomorrow will be a protein day, lol!
Be careful in the heat! Take care and have a great week-end!! Jan
I need to be careful with my foods for at least a week myself... I have one More store made Cobb Salad with Chicken and Balsamic Vinaigrette Dressing I will use for Dinner tonight then I need to buckle down and eat right
Things are so polarized these days there seems to be no middle ground or any use for people that wish to stay in the center and decide for themselves
Have a Nice Day

Good Morning!!
You are so right about middle ground nowadays! And it is so funny that most of the people I know are that way! Do we just not hear- are we a silent majority? Or are we fewer. I have a hard time believing that.
I want one of those premade salads from Publics. They are from 700 to 1100 calories, though I could have different dressing. The funny thing is I have avoided them. I would do better to eat one than what I have been eating.
I had the best burger yesterday, makes up for the BLT. It was a cheeseburger, perfectly done, with candied bacon to die for and grilled onions. And sweet potato fries. Service was still weird. No one is trained and it took 30 minutes to pay our bill. LOL! Almost missed our play.
Today is a protein day, hopefully. Then survive tomorrow, then seriously kick my poor eating choices Monday!!
So nice they let someone who has anger issues or possibly PTSD right back on the streets. I am starting to think our judicial system is infiltrated by some strange people. Just because you are paranoid does not mean they are not out to get you, lol!
So sorry your heat wave is lasting longer than expected. I do not think either of us are done with it yet, either!!
Take care, and watch your outdoor activity!! ...Jan 1 -
Hi! My hip continues to do well. I mowed the front and back yards. Cooked, plus a little cleaning. Got gas and groceries. Cooked vegetarian shepherds pie. Worked 6 hours. And went to my friend's house to visit and trim Iggy (formerly Licorice) and Lady's toenails. Now im tuckered out!1

I did post some more humor today
Hi
I did some walking, The temperature this morning was 71 on the news channel and 73 degrees on the front porch. It is cooler than yesterday, The humidity is still up in what they are calling the Uncomfortable range and is uncomfortable.
I listened to the last 5 minutes of the second book of the Larry Niven 5 book Science Fiction Ringworld Series. That Makes Ringworld and Ringworld Engineers done, Ringworld Throne, Next up as soon as I load it into iTunes for the iPod.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ringworld_series
Ringworld series
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Ringworld series (1970–2012), by science fiction author Larry Niven, is a part of his Known Space set of stories. Its backdrop is the Ringworld, a giant artifact 600 million miles in circumference around a sun. The series is composed of five standalone science fiction novels, the original award-winning book and its four sequels:
1970: Ringworld
1980: The Ringworld Engineers
1996: The Ringworld Throne
2004: Ringworld's Children
2012: Fate of Worlds (by Niven and Edward M. Lerner)
Fate of Worlds is also a sequel to the four books of the Fleet of Worlds series, set in the same "Known Space" universe and all written by Niven and Edward M. Lerner:
2007: Fleet of Worlds
2008: Juggler of Worlds
2009: Destroyer of Worlds
2010: Betrayer of Worlds
I still have the original Microsoft Word for Windows. Back then it not only came with a Manual it was a Hard Cover Manual and there was a keyboard overlay for keyboard shortcuts as well as being on 3.5" and 5.25" disks that held the program and a Windows 2 Runtime that would only run Word.
Toss in a 80286 Motherboard and my original Hard drive which was a spacious 20 Megabytes. I never managed to fill it up FWIW. back then in the DOS days files and programs were small.
Oh well, enough reminiscing
Have a Great Sunday

The Ones from Wendy's and the ShopRite are both better that that I believe. The Caprese Salad is 525 + 140 for the Salad Dressing...
This one was pretty tasty too
Apple Pecan Chicken Salad Full Size
Wendy's signature salad with hand-picked red and green apples, crumbled blue cheese, sweet cranberries, roasted pecans, warm grilled chicken and Marzetti® Simply Dressed® Pomegranate Vinaigrette.
560 cal
They also have what they call a 1/2 salad and it is 340 calI had the best burger yesterday, makes up for the BLT. It was a cheeseburger, perfectly done, with candied bacon to die for and grilled onions. And sweet potato fries. Service was still weird. No one is trained and it took 30 minutes to pay our bill.

Fortunately, the hip pain from my morning walk dissipated. I got my work done, took a nap, and did more yard work. And everything is sore now.1
