Good morning.
Went swimming this morning and have acupuncture scheduled for later this afternoon.
It's a little chilly and windy here, mostly overcast.
Yes, I have 4 handmade ceramic birdhouses outside and one that we bought before I started making them...that's been out the longest and the one that the bluebirds like. All the little birds like my handmade ceramic feeder.
Roger, do you have a local NewEgg store? I didn't know they had actual stores.
Jo, good that you're getting a break at work.
Irene, glad the knee is feeling better.
Happy Wednesday.
Hi Vix
I Thought I recollected that You had made some birdhouses
No it is not a store, it is a distribution center that is in NJ
Here is an article about it.

I hope that answers Your curiosity.

It is cool and windy today. I worked at my store today. I felt like I didn't accomplish much, I was playing catch-up all day. Tomorrow I am at the other store.
Have a great evening.
I know that when I was out from work for a few days on my last job, I had to go like crazy getting caught up. It was not worth it not being there. In the future I had to be really ill to miss a day as a result of that.
Have a good day at the other store.
Cheers

Hi Roger. I used to order a lot from NewEgg when I was a systems admin, and then again when I ran the computer lab...they had a lot of the supplies we needed at a good price. Didn't realize the distribution center was in Edison.

Hi
I was out walking this morning and did 6000 steps + 1 cent. The temperature this morning is cooler than yesterday at 45/41 degrees. Yesterday between the Grocery Shopping, unloading Garden supplies and then spreading Lime on the yard I ended up the day with 13,800 steps so between these two days I am near my average goal of steps.
Currently it is a beautiful looking day outside the window.
I went to the ShopRite again Wednesday and spent around $69.95. I planned to get some more protein shakes and Fruit. The Atkins Protein shakes were on sale where the best price was to buy three, so I took advantage of that and bought three of three different flavors so I now have a 36 day supply of them plus 7 Muscle Milk Chocolate Protein Shakes. I also bought a bag of Clementines on sale so between those and the Pinata Apples I bought Yesterday and the Bananas on hand I am good for fruit too. Then since Poland Spring Water is on sale I bought three and got a coupon for $2 off a future purchase as long as I use it before May 17th.
I managed to forget something again, OTOH it was seltzers for my brother and a optional if they were on sale only item. I really need to start creating a shopping list.
Have a Great Thursday

Hi Vix
I believe it is one of three unless they have added more. I did not know that that were nearby until they started allowing pickups.
I am signed up for their daily email advertisements. They offer really good prices on a 24 hour basis. As an example that is when I buy my Norton Antivirus ahead of need. I think based on memory the last ones I bought were on sale at $15 for a 5 device license. That is also how I bought the SSD drives I have uses to replace many of my regular hard drives.Good morning, chilly and sunny today. Painting class this morning. Pt in the afternoon.
Have a great day, everyone.
It is/was a bit chilly here too. I wore the Hoodie and by the time I started back for the house walking into the Sun I was unzipping it for comfort.
Enjoy the Painting Class and Good Luck with the PT.

Good afternoon;
It is cool and sunny here. The pollen count must be high because my nose is stuffy.
I had my follow up appt. today for my rash. It is just about gone, but I still have to take the antibiotics until next Wednesday. The Dr. told be to call if it came back before I see the dermatologist and he will give me more antibiotics. I am keeping my fingers crossed that this is the last of it.
Roger-I always make a list when I go shopping and sometimes I still forget something.
Vix-I hope you get some relief from the PT.
Since I have been going to the massage therapist, my back and neck have felt a lot better.
I am trying to motivate myself to do yoga. I think that will help with my tight muscles.
Have a great evening.

New Humor today
Hi
I was out walking this morning and did 6200 steps. The temperature this morning is warmer than Thursdays at 54/52 degrees. Yesterday I ended the day with 11,500 steps. I ended up going back out in the afternoon which is why the step count was up. Currently it is a darl, dreary day outside. The forecast rain has not arrived beyond a light drizzle that went away. The breeze that was predicted has arrived however
Have a Great Friday

The Tree Pollen count has been high in this area.
That is great news, I hope the rest of the rash clears up quickly.
If I said Motivation to do new things is lacking would You believe me ?
Have a Nice Day

Oh well.

Hi all.
Roger, you really do great with all the walking.
Jo, glad your rash is clearing up. Rashes are so annoying.
Irene hope you feel better soon.
It rained all last night here and most of today, but it has finally stopped. I went to zumba this morning and the to Frederick to Wegman's for some of my specialty and organic foods.
I too understand about lack of motivation! I get so tired in the afternoon.
Anyway, have a good night, everyone. 0 -
More New Humor ? Posted today
Hi
I was out walking this morning and did 8800 steps. The temperature this morning is warmer than Thursdays at 60/62 degrees. Currently it is a darkish, dreary day outside. There was a light Rain around 6:20 according to my brother I slept late and missed it Not.
While I was out I stopped for 2 Eggs and Whole Wheat Toast as breakfast and brought the Home-fries back since my brother will use them later today with his dinner or Sunday morning as a part of Sunday's breakfast.
The Phone just rang with a number that I looked and and did not answer. The number is 862-210-2406, A quick Google search shows it has been used for several types of scams. I never answer as there is always a possibility that I might slip up and say "Yes" or something else in the affirmative that could be recorded and used as proof I purchased something.
Have a Great Saturday

I did do better today that yesterday, I wonder if it was sleeping an extra hour. Weekends I do not feel pressured to get out the door ahead of the rush hour traffic and can sleep in
I could be wrong, is Wegmans expensive and a Whole Foods competitor?
I hope You enjoyed the Zumba

Hi Joanne0

Good morning. Gray and windy out.
Wegman's is expensive for some things, but inexpensive for others....they seem to have a good selection of foods, maybe more organic foods than most regular supermarkets. It's not a whole foods competitor. They also have a good selection of grass fed meats and fresh/wild caught fish, although they have regular meats and fish too. Big selection of cheeses and fruits/veggies. I guess it's sort of a gourmet supermarket, but it's got regular items too. I guess we go about once a month to pick up things that are less expensive or harder to find in other storesd ( like raw cashews and dried coconut chips, better quality fish).
Happy Weekend!0 -
Still more Humor posted today
Hi
I was out walking this morning and did 7600 steps. The temperature this morning is cooler than Saturdays at 51/51 degrees. Currently it is a bit dark outside. That is in contrast to when I left the house and the Sun was shining and the warmth from it felt good. On the return leg after the clouds moved in and the breeze picked up it was a bit chilly.
Have a Great Sunday

Good morning;
It is sunny but cool today. I am catching up on house work today and paper work that I have been neglecting.
Vix-I went to Wegman's a few times. Ours sells a lot of prepared foods and family size packages. It is a little more expensive, but always seems to be crowded whenever you go there.
Irene-I hope you are feeling better.
Roger-I never answer the phone if I don't recognize the number and always google to see if it is a scam or telemarketer.
Enjoy your day!

Hi Vix
Thank You for the explanation. There is one sort of nearby in Bridgewater although the highway it is on would not be my favorite place to drive. Once it opens up the Whole Foods that is being built in Bridgewater will be much closer and convenient.
My brother picked up store cooked Organic Turkey Breast for me yesterday, at $1.99 a pound why not. The last time this same item was on sale it was nice and tender and not dry at all. Today I need to break it down and Vacuum seal and freeze much of it for future use.
I had a Pop up that You had replied in the Humor section, I guess I know where I will be going next
Enjoy the Day

I ended up with two scam calls yesterday, the number I posted and a one ring scam call. Die Scammers and Spammers
Although In many cases they are the same.
I would say to have fun, however House Work and paper work indicate otherwise IMO.

Good morning.
I cleaned the bathroom and changed the bed linens this morning. Still cool out, but not quite as gray. Was very lazy yesterday, so have got to get out a little today.
I've been trying to send the annoyance call numbers to the "Do not call list". They're in violation, but I think the gov't has a hard time finding them because they constantly change their numbers (robocalls).
Happy Sunday, everyone. 0 -

Even more humor today, my Brother keeps sending them and I keep using them
Hi
I was out walking this morning and did 6500 steps. The temperature this morning is cooler than Sundays at 45/45 degrees. Currently the Sun is shining and the warmth from it feels good.
The weekend weather was weird here. Last nights forecast showed temperatures below normal through next Sunday
It dawned on me that I had not eaten my Banana yet and I was feeling a little hungry as a result so I went and had that before I post this reply. I cut off a end of it for later to go on my cereal I will be having for breakfast. Today is a large bowl, 28g 100 calories and 50 calories of 1% milk and the rest of the Banana sliced into it probably around 10AM since I just at the Banana at 8:30
Have a Great Monday

You keep busy, I am impressed, Of course I am impressed by anybody that does more than I do, Not to hard to do either.
I have a suspicion that the numbers are spoofed and done using VOIP to keep costs low.
The Feds have actually managed to charge some of them, Not to easy to track down IMO
OTOH what can they really do to the scammers that are overseas ?Good morning.
Weekends go too fast!
Yoga this morning.
Have a great day!
Today I need to shred some CDs/DVDs so they can out to the curb for pickup this week. However Motivation is lacking
Enjoy Your Yoga.

Hi Again
You might find this interesting or maybe not? I was poking in the small junk room in the basement and ran across a 1.2mb 5.25" floppy drive and since I still have disks I wan to look at in that format I ordered a cable to allow it and a 1.44Mb drive to connect to the computer. Since they use different connectors I had no cable for the 1.2Mb drive. Everything came Saturday. Power cable Y adapter as they also have different power connectors and the Floppy cable and installed everything Saturday. I thing my 1.44Mb drive is No good, Back to Amazon for a replacement if testing proves that to be the case. That is my suspicion as I could read disks in the USB external and not it it. Why use the internal? The USB one was introducing a lag everytime I brought up the Windows 10 This PC to access drives

Hi Roger.
I was thinking this week that I actually save too much data. I get stuff like recipes and pottery hints and fitness information, etc that I save....but I don't ever seem to look back at them... Occasionally/rarely do a search for something in those folders. I don't really want to spend the time to weed through them. I guess I'll start fresh next time I get a new computer! haha.
Enjoy your day. 0 -
Good afternoon,
It is sunny, but chilly here.
Vix-I save stuff also and never seem to go back and look at it.
Roger-That was a good price for organic turkey breast. I love going to Whole Foods, but it is expensive.
I am working at the other store 3 days next week. I actually like working there. The store isn't as busy and the customers are nicer.
Enjoy the rest of the day. 0 -
Good morning.
We have frost this morning! But the sun is out, so maybe the little plants outside will survive.
Jo, glad you like the other store...maybe they'll continue to have you work there, sounds like a break from your usual.
My arm woke me up last night, and I put ice on it. I'm playing with clay today, but have PT later in the afternoon. Maybe it was from yoga yesterday, but I didn't think I did anything hard.
Have a great day, everyone. 0 -
Humor has a new post today
Hi
I was out walking this morning and did 7700 steps + 1 Cent. The temperature this morning is the same as yesterday 46/44 degrees. I had over 10K steps by Dinnertime Monday as I did a little House walking to bring up the step count.
Since I had the 1.2 Mb drive and disks laying around I figured why not see what was on them before cutting them into pieces for disposal. I did find that of the few I tested some read and some did not. Oh well.....
I also need to do some testing to determine why the 1.44Mb internal drive is not reading disks that test good in a USB external. That will be todays project, Pull the drive, change the cable and see if it is the cable or the drive. I'm pretty sure the floppy port is good as the 1.2Mb drive if placed on the end of the cable instead of the 1.44Mb drive works.
CDs can go bad to, Do You recall the chatter about this, Disk Rot?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disc_rot
Disc rot is a phrase describing the tendency of CD or DVD or other optical discs to become unreadable due to physical or chemical deterioration. The causes of this effect vary from oxidation of the reflective layer, to physical scuffing and abrasion of disc surfaces or edges, including visible scratches, to other kinds of reactions with contaminants, to ultra-violet light damage and de-bonding of the adhesive used to adhere the layers of the disc together.
Not to mention that on a CD You can easily trash the disk by damaging the top surface, That is why when the DVD was designed they moved to Data layer to the center where it was protected by the plastic layers on the top and bottom. FWIW If You need to only destroy the data on a DVD simply but carefully so as not to get cut, use something sharp like a razor knife and pry the top and bottom apart , Voila, Done Even simpler with a CD, Just take the razor knife and make a few slices through the top layer where only the thin lacquer protects the data layer.
Have a Great Tuesday
