    Good morning.
    Rainy and chilly this morning.
    Painting and drawing class today.
    We're going to Philidelphia tomorrow. Should be fun, just a quick get-away. :)
    Enjoy your day. :)

    Hi all
    On tab again. Sorry I didn't get here yesterday. I was exhausted. When I took my dog and two cats to my vet I was stuck between two exits on the interstate for a solid hour. Even rescue couldn't get to the overturned truck for a long time because of the wall to wall backup. I should have stayed on the Turnpike. :(
    10am. It's in the low 80's but the heat index is 88.
    I'll try to catch up with everyone tomorrow. Take care

    Hi Lynmar...Traffic sounds awful. At least the pets are tajeb care of. It's chilly here today, in the low 50s, supposed to be warming up gradually over the next 3 days, then we'll be back in summer weather.
    Hope you get a chance to rest up and feel better. :)

    Hi all.
    E, how was Philadelphia?
    Roger, I didn't know they had triple whoppers. I've only heard of the doubles.
    Kel, I hope you're feeling better.
    Have a good day.

    HI Vix
    Thank You
    The weather looks pretty good until Monday and even then they just say chance of showers. I think I will BBQ Sunday anyway, just in case.

    Happy Saturday!
    Roger, Wendy's has good burgers -actually look and taste like burgers:) - but are they as large as a Burger King whopper? Many, many years ago I worked at a Wendy's for a while.
    Hi E and Kel I hope you're off enjoying the day.
    Take care. Have a good day.

    Have a Wonderful Holiday Weekend

    Hi Lynmar
    The one thing I do like about the Burger King Burgers is that they are flame broiled and thus I suspect that they have less fat than the Wendy's burgers. However when they introduced the Baconator and I tried it I loved it. What doesn't go better with Bacon?

    I just gassed up the car $2.39 9/10 a gallon :( at the gas prices going up too.
    Then I figured out my mileage which was 19.06 MPG. Which is not too bad IMO for something that never left town since the last fill up so that is all in town mileage. 1999 Buick century, Power everything FWIW.

    Cheers

    Roger, I had a '99 Honda CRV until I totaled it two years ago in a roll over. Loved that SUV! Now I have a '13 Mazda CX-5. Anyway, $2.65 is the cheapest around here. Sure am glad it's not still $4.
    Now that I *can* walk, I want to start walking again but our heat indexes have been so high I don't know how. :( it's 10:23 and the heat index is 87.
    Have a good night.

    Hi all!
    Kel, hope you're off doing something fun.
    Roger and Lynmar, I guess I'm lucky I never got into fast food. Desserts are bad enough for me.
    Philadelphia was a lot of fun. We did a lot of walking...went to the Phil. Museum of Art, Rocky Steps, and Boathouse Row, Reading Market, Japanese house and garden in Fairmount park, and several small parks, etc. There's a lot of really great architecture there, and a lot of historical places if you like history, tons of museums, but hard even to get through a whole museum in one day. We stopped at Longwood Gardens on the way home. The Conservatory is immense and full of beautiful plants, and the gardens are great. Lots of walking there too!
    It's nice to be home.
    Hope you're all having a wonderful holiday weekend. :)

    Hi all.
    E, I'm glad you had a good time. Almost all my life I've had to try to avoid sugar because of hypoglycemia so my overweight was because of fried and junk foods.
    Have a good day all

    Good morning!
    Ha, Lynmar...I guess we all have our slippery slopes! :p I did always love onion rings, but I very rarely get them because I try to avoid fried foods. They're great while I'm eating them, but don't sit so well once they're down.
    Looks like it's going to be a beautiful day today. Up to 85 degrees here, a little warm for me, but the sunshine is fabulous.
    Kel, hope you're feeling better.
    Anyone doing anything special today?
    Have a great day. :)

    Hi LynMar
    The way I look at it as long as it runs good and everything works or it can be repaired at a reasonable cost a Paid for car is the lowest cost per mile.

    Cheers

    Hi Vix
    I like Onion Rings too, but getting good ones is not that easy. Texas Wiener or White Castle do not qualify BTW :)

    I liked most fast foods. Unfortunately my waistline did not.

    Yeah, well. I've just gotten to the point where I know I can't eat very much of anything. So I try to really enjoy what ever it is I do eat, and keep the portions small, except for veggies. After all this time, I'm still experimenting and learning. It's nice how a teaspoon of light whipped butter (17 calories) on a cup and a half of plain veggies make it so much tastier and more satisfying. And a half a tablespoon of olive oil and spices on a salad is more satisfying than fat free dressing. There are perks to cutting down on artificial ingredients.
    Glad you enjoyed the parade. :)
    We didn't really do anything special today, but it was a nice relaxing day.
    Have a good night, sleep well.

    Hi all
    I tried to log in this morning but the site was down.
    E, as long as you eat enough to stay healthy eating less is always better I guess.
    Kel, I'm glad you got to spend some down time with hubby.
    Roger, maintenance on top of car payments is rough. Thankfully I got a good settlement on my CRV.
    Just had NS Sausage and Peppers dinner. It was left over from when I got the dinners. Yum!
    For now I'm scheduled to have my dislocated toe taken care of June 26. Don't know why but it doesn't usually hurt. Something to be thankful for.
    Have a good day.

    Good morning Kel, Lynmar, Roger, anyone else out there. :)
    Overcast this morning....off to the gym in a little while. Scattered T-storms later.
    I went to my clay class yesterday. I was mostly painting and glazing. I did attempt an outdoor candle holder, but the clay was really wet and it wasn't standing up very well. I'll see if I can fix it next week if it's not too dry by then.
    I got the vase back where I tried to glaze over my mistake....it's not great, some of the mess shows through, but it'll be usable (live flowers hopeully will help hide it)! It was a nice relaxing class. I do enjoy painting the greenware. :)
    Have a happy day. :)

    Hi All
    Back in the house from running around. I hope I can get to all the messages that are accumulating here. We spent the Last two mornings chopping up IVY pulled off of the shed out back, Put into containers that will fit in the car and taken to the bin in the recycle center. We did get a price of around $1000 to do it all. Whatever we can do to reduce that is a good thing. That corner of the yard has gotten out of hand with the neighbors Ivy coming over the fence and covering things. Then on to the produce store for Lettuce, Bananas, Cherries and Nice crunchy Pears.
    Now I am waiting for the laundry to finish in the dryer. Maybe tomorrow I'll vacuum.

    Hi Vix
    I tend to eat my Salads Plain. Salad, ha! More like a 1/2 head of Lettuce with my Dinner.
    There is nothing wrong with having a relaxing day BTW.

    Hi LynMar
    What time was that? I did get on briefly this morning before getting to work in the yard before the heat and humidity got to bad.
    Is that the Chefs meal? I think they are all discontinued except that one still shows.

    Hi Again
    I really need to improve my speed on the forums. I tend to run out of time.
    Busy the last two days too. I hope the temperatures are better today so I can get out and walk around 8PM.

    aack....I must have hit a button and my post disappeared! Ok....again.
    Roger, you participate in a lot of forums...that would take up a lot of time. I didn't realize you were removing actual ivy....haha, I was wondering what IVY stood for. :blush: That's a lot of work.
    I'm glad the cherries are back in season, I bought some too....yum.
    Kel, hope work isn't too busy...I know it can get that way sometimes.
    Lynmar, good that the toe isn't bothering you too much or that would be a really long time to wait. ( I always hate waiting for Dr appts, especially when I know something needs to be done).
    Went to the gym this morning and did a few things around the house. I've been tired lately, for no good reason.
    At least there's not a lot I HAVE to do. :)
    Enjoy your evening. :)

    Hi Vix
    Yup IVY stands for that persistent climbs on anything plant. The hard part is not pulling it off of the shed, it is the cutting it to a length that fits into the recycle tube to fit into the car. The next hard part will most likely be wire brushing the little suckers it leaves behind when You pull it off of the sheds siding and then the painting. That may not get done this year even. Two or three days of pulling and so far the one short side and part of the back are de-Ivy'd and the ground back there is covered with it too. It is not looking real healthy either. I suspect that the neighbor whose yard it is coming from has been spraying it to kill it off, Only a suspicion as I keep forgetting to ask.

    I hope the Cherries I bought are good too. I was a little surprised that the bag they are in had nutrition information on it.

    Have a Good Evening
    Roger

    day went ok today, actually got out at a reasonable hour (5pm). came home, finished my steps for the day. cooked a SS NS hamburger for dinner but did something different on another board that inspired me :) mushrooms, bit of minced onions, splash of beef broth, some "savory" mrs dash type stuff. heated that up in a frying pan and made some mashed cauliflower to go with it :)

    hope everyone has a great evening and a wonderful day tomorrow :) good luck with the rest of that ivy Roger!

    Hi all.
    E, sorry your vase didn't come out better. I hope it looks good with the flowers in it.
    Kel, actually the toe has been dislocated since last February when he fixed the part of that toe closer to the ankle and then I fell again and dislocated the end. He didn't want to fix it again until I could stop falling.
    Roger, I don't remember what time it was. I think it was just down a short time but I got hung up with other things.
    Gotta go. Cats and dogs are misbehaving because it's their suppertime. Take care.

    Good morning.
    So good to see everyone back here. :smile:
    Roger...that a lot of ivy...yikes...at least it's not poison ivy...I guess you don't use chemicals, that's good. I would if it were PI, too dangerous if you try to just pull it. Too many chemicals and artificial stuff in the world, ok if used only when necessary, and very carefully.
    Hope you're feeling better Lynmar.
    Ha, hoping no one will notice the vase once it has flowers in it. Most of the guests will be pretty old, so their eyesight probably isn't that good! It's ok, as long as it holds flowers....it was an experiment after all. :smiley:
    Kel, thanks for the hugs. :) Your burger enhancements sounded yummy. Love mushrooms and onions.
    Painting and drawing class this morning for me.
    Have a happy day, everyone. :)

    Hi Kel
    The most common mistake I make is one I do multiple times a day where I type teh for The.

    Just curious are You talking about that Hickory Burger Dinner? My last resort to try and make it edible that I will be trying is Boil that thing, then spritz the griddle and try frying it a little and test a small piece with some BBQ sauce.

    That one is one I know some love and some hate and I suspect very few in-between.

    Cheers

    Hi Vix
    Good Luck with the flowers in the vase.

    The Bug spray in the house is a house and garden green type that is supposed to be safe for House and Garden.

    I had to use "My Fly Rod" yesterday three times on Flies. They seem to come in really quick when we are going in and out. And the Porch door and Inside door were both open Yesterday for a few minutes while we loaded the car with the oversize clothes and recycle stuff.

    Poison Ivy would have to get a chemical and be marked. My Brother is muttering Grape Vines in the back along the fence once the Ivy is completely gone.

    Have a Great Day

    Vines can be a pain. Sounds like so much work.
    I would mutter too, if more vines to be removed were uncovered!
