    Good morning.
    Enjoy your long weekend, Irene.
    I'm going to do a little cleaning, then maybe pick up a few things. I'm having a couple of buddies from work over tonight. It'll be fun.
    Happy Friday, everyone.

    Hi All
    I got out and walked my usual 2 3/4 miles. I was out the door early before Sunrise and beat the worst of the heat and Yahoo, The Humidity is down too.

    The Censored Deer are still eating things, the latest is they ate most of the leaves off of the pepper plants, Left the Peppers that were growing, why? They also nibbled off the top of a tomato plant and ate some of the leaves off of a Rose Bush. It seems they can work around the thorns :(

    Have a Great Friday

    hello.
    Congrats Irene on another pound gone. Yay! :)
    Roger, nice film. I agree we need to bring jobs back to our own country. I've always believed in leading by example.
    We saw some interesting videos in art class this morning. One on drawing a face, the other on wetness in water color painting.
    We're having a t-storm that wasn't expected today....good thing, I forgot to water my outdoor pots this morning!
    Hope you're all having a good day. :)

    Hi Vix
    Some things it is impossible to buy American anymore. Home electronics and Computers for example.

    We had a decent rain Yesterday too, No watering today and only the potted flowers tomorrow :)

    Cheers

    Good Evening;
    Roger-I like the melts cold. I also eat some of the shelf stable foods cold also. I put the red beans and rice over my salad. Thanks for sharing the film.
    Irene-congrats on another lb. gone.
    Vix-On radar we are supposed to get thunder showers tonight. It is pretty gloomy out now. We can sure use the rain, my lawn is getting very brown.
    I had my hair colored yesterday, no more gray. I am now a blonde. I tried to upload a new photo, but it is sideways and I haven't figured out how to turn it right side up. It is on my profile page if you want to have a look. I feel like a new person.
    Have a relaxing night. :)

    Hi Joanne
    If You are running Windows, You can use Microsoft Paint to rotate, and resize Images and it comes free of charge in most modern windows up to Windows 8, I'm not sure about Windows 10 however.

    We got lucky yesterday, we got the rain and missed the Thunderstorms :)

    CHeers

    Good afternoon;
    Irene enjoy your 3 day weekend. :)
    Vix-I changed my profile so you should be able to see now. :) Have fun tonight.
    I was at the fish counter buying some fish today. Another lady was waiting, she kept sighing and pacing back and forth every time I asked for something. I was buying 4 or 5 different things for a seafood medley. As soon as the seafood person gave me my last package, she jumped right in front of me and yelled her order. The devil in me came out and I said very sarcastically "I'm glad I was finished." Her reply was so am I. If I could have taken my blood pressure at that moment it would have been off the charts. As I was walking away the seafood person said something to her about being rude. Some people are so impatient. :(

    Hi All
    I walked a slightly different route and walked 2.8 miles today. It was much nicer out today than Yesterday, When I started out it was before Sunrise and the Blue Moon was out with a few wispy clouds drifting across it. I came home, Cooled off and went back out around 8AM and mowed the Lawn. 9682 steps so far today according to the FitBit Zip including the mowing. I am now officially tired :)

    My Brother commented that it looks like the Censored Deer was back and ate some more overnight. I have seen them in the woody area below the lake and I saw two or three Yesterday along the edge of another park that has a wooded area along a brook. Them dang things are all over anymore. I do not know how they manage to avoid the thorns on the rose bush they have been nibbling on.

    Whats a fella to do, You can not string Razor Wire around the property :)

    Joy, Joy, I fixed my Main floor computer last Night too. I thought it was the power supply and the Mailman delivered the new one. Long story cut short, When it still turned on and right off I diagnosed deeper, pulled the back, drives and memory. It turned out to be one of the memory chips I installed as a Memory Upgrade, I left it out and put back the original one and one of the newer ones and voila it is working again. Hmmm.... Not so short a story after all.

    Have a Good Weekend

    Hi Joanne
    I would hate to be in front of her on the road going slower than she wants to go too.
    I would have been tempted when the seafood person asked is there anything else, to have hemmed and hawed and said there is, Give me a second to think of it :) OTOH sometimes it is hard to resist when they make it that easy.

    Congratulations on not blowing You stack at her. BTW I think You made a mistake in Your post where you called her a Lady :)

    Hi Vix
    I slept not real well :) that is why I was up before 5AM and out the door by 5:15 despite dithering around in the house. I feel a Mid Day Nap coming on strong.

    Cheers

    I don't sleep well either. I get tired in the afternoon, but still can't manage to take a nap. If I go lay down, I'm suddenly wide awake. Could probably fall asleep reading in a chair! Maybe I'll try that. :smiley:

    Hi All
    I walked a slightly different route for 2.8 miles today, Weather was Cool and low humidity, Tomorrow the Humidity goes back up, oh well.

    I suspect that the four legged appetite was back nibbling the flowers and vegetables. I say that since it looks like more damage and the Potted Petunias were knocked over despite no wind last night.

    Have a Good Sunday

    Hi Vix
    If I am too tired I have more of a problem getting to sleep. Sometimes I lay down to get 40 winks and voila even though I'm sure I got nothing, suddenly it is more than an hour later :)

    Hi All
    I got out and walked a 2.75 mile loop, I reversed the direction of the loop so I could avoid walking into the rising sun for 95% of the walk.

    I picked up a Extra Large QC Coffee on the outbound and went back into the QC for a DeCaf on the way back home. I reused the old Coffee cup as I had just emptied it and got charged the refill rate saving 50 cents + Tax, Thank You to the Young Lady at the register.

    Have a Great Monday and the Start of the New Challenge

    I did not sleep well last night until after Midnight, then I got out late today for my walk as a consequence.

    Hi All
    I got out early today walking, It looked like the rain was done, wrong :) 20 minutes into the walk it started a to rain. I was glad I had the Umbrella in my pocket too. I shortened the walk somewhat, 2.5 miles :)

    It was nice out during the walk before the rain came back and for a little while after, Then the Humidity kicked in and it is currently hot & humid and Miserable outside. I know that from a run to the bank and the recycle center with paper.

    I posted Four new recipes to day in the recipes group here:
    http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/group/106935-nutrisystem-plan-recipes
    I posted Carrot Cake Muffins & Cream Cheese Frosting by Peter W,
    Angel Lush Cake by Dlekapj (Linda) from the old NS Forums,
    Chocolate Cupcakes by Christina Gray from the Old NS forums
    and Chocolate Frosting by Christina Gray from the old NS Forums

    Hi Joanne
    Every little bit helps, I wish I had saved $1 but 50Cents is still handy.

    I sometimes wonder if I am the only one that picks up stray change when walking? I figure even a penny is worth the effort ;)

    I am still managing my Order at the NutriSystem.com site FWIW.

    Hi
    According to DaisyLee's post here

    It Appears that the $20 sale is back on from 8-6-2015 to 8-30-2015. Not confirmed until I see it happen FWIW of course. But worth checking on that date.

    Irene-have a good day at work.
    Roger-I find coins all the time in the parking lot at work. I tease my husband about it because he goes metal detecting and finds coins. I always tell him I don't need a metal detector to find coins. :p
    Vix-I hope you are having good weather.
    I am off from work today. other than housework, nothing on the agenda for today.
    We had heavy rains yesterday morning and late last night. Now the sun is shining and it looks to be a beautiful day.

    Hi all
    I got out for a walk today 2.8 miles and 60 Cents.
    That means that I paid $1.07 for my Large Black Coffee minus $0.60 for a net cost of $0.47 :)
    The weather was beautiful too, Not Humid and in the 60s, Whee!

    So far no need to turn on the AC either.

    Have a Nice Day

    Hi All
    I did my walk this morning, 2.8 Miles. Humidity is low, and the temperature was in the 50s, I felt a little chilly until I warmed up from the walking or maybe it was the 1/2 banana I ate on the way out of the house.

    Walking past the stream below our one parks dam I saw the Blue Heron in the stream. I have noticed it now for each of the three days I walked that way recently. Then we seem to be getting deer into the area too. I saw Four next to that brook one evening walk, Three grazing in a different park and four along another brook the other day. They sure are destructive to plantings and gardens too. Oh well.............

    Have a Good Day

    Hi Roger-I wonder if they are the same deer, just in different locations?
    Another bird got caught on the shephards hook. I found it dead yesterday when I went out to fill the feeders. :)
    My husband fixed it so no more birds will get their legs trapped.

    Hi All
    Went for a walk and hit 2.79 miles and 2 cents. The weather was beautiful with humidity in the 30s% and Temperatures in the high 60s. The rain originally forecast for today earlier this week has gone south of us :)

    Hi Joanne
    I am pretty sure that they are different Deer. The Ones by the brook below the park were two fawns and two Does. The Four by the different Brook were Three Fawns and One Doe. And the The Other park at least one was starting to get Antlers.

    We pulled the feeders for the Summer. They were not eating from them and the BirdSeed was clumping together. Birdseed? You can not plant them and grow birds :)

    Cheers

    Roger-That is a lot of deer. I guess you could say you got your 2 cents worth out of that walk. :p
    The contractor came by today to measure the house and he will be back next Wednesday with an estimate for the siding and other work that I need done. I have decided to go with gray siding with white trim.

    Hi All
    It is another beautiful day here in NJ Low Humidity, and when I walked it was in the 60s. 2.75 miles and 11cents.

    I just got back form the Acme, They had cases of Bottled water for $1.99 if You buy 6 so I saved $3 on the 6 cases. It was a Mix and Match thing with any six items counting towards the six, However I had no use for the others :)

    Dannon Light & Fit was 10 for $10. They also had the Dannon Oikos Greek Yogurt for the same price and the Oikos came with a free dozen Large Acme brand eggs and a free Essentials Cream Cheese 8oz included. I looked at it but the calorie count was higher on the Oikos and I was not sure how it tasted :)

    Have a Great Weekend

    Hi Joanne
    I walked past the one grassy park area from a different direction and the 3 Deer were there in the Mowed area eating it up. They seem to only like Desirable plants not weeds and useless bushes. :)

    We have light Gray Vinyl with white trim too. We also have some spare siding in the shed in case any siding gets damaged and needs replacement. Same Thing with a partial bundle of roofing shingles from the roof was done a few years ago. On the Previous roof the spare shingles came in handy to replace a couple of storm damaged shingles so we had a perfect match and it was a undetectable repair for that reason.

    Good Luck

    Good evening;
    It was a beautiful day. I sat out on the deck and ate my lunch. When I was grocery shopping today, a lady went to customer service because she couldn't find her shopping cart, which had her pocketbook in it. Why do women put their pocketbooks in the cart and then walk away from it? Luckily someone found it and returned it to her.
    Roger-you should put all the change you find on your walks in a jar to keep track of how much you find in a given time.
    We are going with a dark gray. I am still deciding on what color shutters I want. I am leaning toward white or black.
    Irene-I wonder what Annie would do if she actually got to the other side? Do you think she was just curious?
    The siding will be expensive, but I think a good resale feature if we decide to sell the house in the future.
    Have a relaxing evening. :)
