Hi
I was out walking today and hit 8,484 steps. The temperature is 31 degrees vs 45 degrees yesterday and to bad while walking.
Tomorrow is Grocery Store Day for Bananas and whatever fruit looks good at a good price. There is a possibility of Showers in the forecast.
Have a Great Tuesday

A huge misunderstanding’: Contractor guts wrong Fort Worth house
FORT WORTH
When a TCU-area rental house was gutted last week, just before it was to be sold, the owners had lots of questions.
Thinking burglars had destroyed the house and taken all the fixtures, they called Fort Worth police to report the crime. Their plight — remarkable in part because of the thoroughness of the burglars, who took appliances, toilets, furniture, cabinets, shutters, doors, molding and even the doorbell — made the news in the Dallas-Fort Worth area.
Worse still, owners Lee and Lelia Beckelman, of the Houston area, had a contract to sell the house at 2736 Forest Park Blvd. Their son had lived there with roommates while he attended TCU, but he moved out in August and the last roommate left in October.
Their real estate agent found the place gutted Feb. 9. Essentially all that remained were walls, bathtubs and some of the flooring.
But as it turns out, the whole episode was an honest mistake.
As Fort Worth police were beginning the investigation, they got a phone call from a contractor who explained what happened, said Fort Worth Police Department Sgt. W.D. Paine.
The contractor told police that the man who owned a house at 2700 Forest Park Blvd. hired him to gut it, Paine said. When the contractor and crew arrived at the street, they saw what appeared to be an address on the curb, “2700 Forest Park Boulevard,” directly in front of a house.
The crew didn’t notice that the numbers on the house said 2736, not 2700.
“It was a huge misunderstanding,” Paine said.
The owner of 2700 Forest Park didn’t give the contractor any keys, and instructed him to just kick the door in to get inside, Paine said. The contractor did just that, and he and his crew removed almost everything inside over three days, during which they told neighbors they had been hired for the work.
Paine said police don’t intend to charge the contractor for the “big goof-up.”
“We can’t really file a criminal mischief charge because his intent wasn’t to deprive them of the property,” Paine said. “We’re leaving it up to the contractor and victim to settle it.”
Lelia Beckelman said Friday that they have spoken to the contractor. Neither the police nor the Beckelmans released the contractor’s name.
“He feels really bad and is willing to make us whole and restore things,” she said. “He’s an honest guy.”
Paine said the contractor had offered to restore the house or even buy it for the selling price. Beckelman said it was listed for $369,000, but didn’t want to disclose the contract price.
She said the current plan is for the contractor to return everything that had been taken and restore the house, at the least.
“He is bending over backwards for us,” Beckelman said. “We are grateful that he was honest and admitted the mistake and wants to reconcile."0 -

Hi Irene
I'm sorry to hear Your sleep was not good. I agree today was not bad early on, Later it should be better and I believe I saw a high of 50 or 50s too.
I would not mind the Shelf Stable being delayed. I wish I could delay my order further, However I have delayed it all I can.
I did but the NS eGift card from CostCo yesterday to apply to my upcoming order. It is not as good a discount as when they are on sale, OTOH I still save 20% that way. It took about an hour to show up in my email.
Since I was already out walking my days plans are already finished
Have a Good Day

hi all.
When I got to my Dr's appointment this morning, the office was closed! What the heck! I called....even though I had made my appt in that office, they set the appt in another office about 25 miles away and didn't bother to tell me that. So, wasted trip, and I now have an appt in 2 weeks in the right office. Got to clay group early, so left early....kind of tired. I have some things to do around the house then will go for my meeting tonight.
The humor is always good, Roger! 0 -
good morning, had a great walk this morning the weather was great it was 40 wish was really nice to walk I did get all my steps in right now I have 10,360 steps I have to make up for yesterday I never made goal . Today I need to pick up all my breakables that I have out don't want them to break any of them I have a lot of lenox so I will be putting it all back in boxes until the carpeting is done .Vix sorry about the mix up at the Drs it is up setting I have that happen to me before.How was your meeting? I am sure it is nice having a support group.
Roger great story I wonder how many times that does happen . Jo how has things been going?0 -
Hi
I was out walking today and hit 7.7K steps + 11 Cents. The temperature is 41 degrees vs 31 degrees yesterday and not to bad while walking. I was able to lighten up what I wear as a result.
I stopped at the Grocery Store Day for Bananas and picked up some nectarines as they looked good at a good price. The possibility of Showers in yesterdays forecast may have happened overnight, If that happened it happened early enough for the ground to dry out so I am guessing that the rain went north of me instead.
Have a Great Wednesday

Video: thief knocks himself out during store break-in
KRON, Ohio – Groups of thieves targeted Leprechaun Liquor Store on Manchester Road twice in one week, with one suspect appearing to knock himself out as he tried to make a getaway.
The break-ins were both captured on surveillance video.
In the most recent incident on February 19, video showed three men smashed a concrete block through the store’s front door and scrambling inside just before 4 a.m. They stole $1,000 in cigarettes, according to a police report.
With the alarm sounding as they rushed to leave, one suspect is seen falling over a counter door, where he appears to be unconscious. His accomplices left him there for a short time before one returned to drag the injured man out by his feet and then toss him in the back seat of a Pontiac Bonneville before the car drove away

Hi Vix
What a Boondoggle is what comes to mind.
My brothers one doctor has two offices too. One is convenient and the other a fair distance away
I'm glad You had fun at the clay group.
I am sure You enjoyed the meeting.

Hi Irene
I gather it is not that uncommon a happening.
Great walking weather especially as I did not have to gear up for rain
You are doing good with the step count too, Congratulations.I do not blame You for wanting to put easily broken items away, Precaution is always a good thing.
Have a Nice Day

Hi, back from the gym. I went to body flow. It's getting harder for me. Maybe I can work back up to it. Was cloudy this morning, but looks like it's going to turn into a nice day.
Congrats on keepin up the walking Irene and Roger!
Jo, did you find any cool antiques?
Have a great day everyone.0 -
Good afternoon;
Long day at work, I worked 10 hours. We had new display cases installed last night, so this morning we had to restock everything.
Vix-We didn't find anything we were interested in.
I hit a plateau last week. I have stayed the same weight going on 2 weeks now. I think I will have to ramp up the exercise, to see if that makes a difference.
Even with the warmer weather, we still have a lot of snow.
Have a good evening. 0 -
Jo, I'm staying the same too...thought I had lost a couple of pounds, but it's still bouncing up and down. Sometimes it's fun just to look around at antiques. We haven't had much snow at all...very unusual winter....we've had quite a few days we don't even need to wear a jacket!
Have a good night, everyone.0 -
Good morning!
Foggy and 51, supposed to go up to 72 today! Some winter! Floods in California where they usually have drought.
Anyway...painting and drawing this morning. Need to start on a new project.

Hi
I was out walking today and hit 6.8K steps. The temperature is 43 degrees vs 41 degrees yesterday and was not to bad while walking until...
I shall explain, When I left the house at 6:05 it was clear out, Then as I was getting my coffee the fog started moving in. Therefore I decided to head back to the house early. I figured as the visibility kept dropping that when I had to cross streets it would become less safe as I could not see them as far away nor they Me. I also turned off the Green Hornet Radio Shows I was listening to on the iPod so I could hear the cars easier.
I will be heading out to the Grocery Store later for a couple of bottles of Spring Water that is on sale so that will increase my step count.
Have a Great Thursday

Police warn of blackmail letters claiming you are cheating on your spouse
To watch this video go to the page
RICHMOND, Va., -- An unwed and single Richmond man wants to warn the public about a letter he received claiming he cheated on his wife.
“I thought, who was this mystery wife that I don’t have?" Matt Edwards asked. "This must be a scam. I don’t have a wife.”
Snipped
The letter reads, "I’m going to cut to the chase. I know you have cheated on your wife. More importantly I have evidence of the infidelity."
The scammer then gives the victim two options – to pay $2,000 through an electronic online Bitcoin money account or the “evidence” of the infidelity would be sent to the victim’s friends and family.0 -

I am happy with the warmer weather this Month. The Gas and Electric bill was around $70 lower this month compared to January's bill.Good morning!

The Visibility was down to where I could just see a house 300 feet away as I approached the house. Now that I shortened my walk to play safe it seems to increasing
It seems that California is Feast or Famine regarding rain with no happy medium lately.
Have a Nice Day

Hi Joanne
with our warmer weather I did not see any snow remains today I meant to ask You, when did that huge mound of snow finally disappear that was in the news last year where Boston had put the snow?
Where I worked in the 80s & 90s they experimented with a 4 day work week at 11 hours a day vs the 5 day work week at 9 hours a day. The paycheck was guaranteed for 45 hours a week and if You went over on any single day the overage was paid at the Time and a half rate, plus double time and a half for the first 9 hours of Holiday work and then it dropped back to regular overtime rates. Needless to say I loved making the same money for 4 days as 5 days. Sadly they dropped the 4 day week.
Good Luck with the exercising

You must be in a better area than I am in, You seem to keep finding more money than me.
Was there much Fog where You are? I do love this weather
Congratulations on Your Loss

Good afternoon;
It is currently 61 degrees. I have the sliders open.
Roger-I am not sure when the huge snow mound finally disappeared, I think it was in May.
Scammers will try anything. I got a message on my machine the other day stating that the IRS had a warrant for my arrest for fraud, and that my property and myself were being monitored and I had to call them. The IRS never calls people, so I knew it was a scam.
Vix-What is your new project?
Irene-congrats on your finds today and yesterday. I know I will start to lose again, it is just frustrating.
Have a great afternoon.

Hi all....it's in the 70s here and we even have a dafodil blooming!
Jo, I am going to try to paint a big gnarly tree using acrylics. I have a picture I got from the web. It looks hard, but I'm going to give it a shot because I really like the photo. It's going to be a slow one. I was just outside painting a recycled picture frame for one of my other paintings. I may try to do a quickie this week. I don't have anything for the next show which starts next week...it's supposed to be flowers or spring things. I have a watercolor flower painting started. I may try to finish/fix it up.
I went for a walk in the park...it was almost too hot! Now I'm really tired. sigh.

Not quite as warm here today, OTOH I did walk under a tree that is dropping blooms, Well what passes for them with non flowering trees. Also the weather forecast is starting to do Allergy reports. Currently the culprit is tree pollen.

I have gotten those IRS scam calls too. With all the red flags in the message, Bad English, Heavy Accent and send the money out of the US I find it hard to understand how people fall for it. Not to mention that the IRS never calls You, You can call them not the other way around. And even if They do plan to seize your assets, They do not just decide to do it one day without trying to collect first.
