    Good morning.
    Jo, I was thinking about those 3m hangers....I'll also need something for the windchime on the porch. :) In the meanwhile, I tucked the tape behind some trim, but it doesn't hold well.
    We decided to finish our basement. Right now it's kind of wasted space except for the utilities. It will be a nice extra entertainment area.
    Nice to get your yard trimmed up and looking good. :) It's been dry here for about a week, so everyone's grass is turning brown....so strange after all that rain we had!

    Hi All
    Walked again today, The Temperatures are climbing as is the humidity, I survived it. 2.75 miles and 11 cents, at this rate I'll be rich in 100+ years :)

    Have a Really Good Sunday

    Yes, we were lucky. These guys will work mostly weekends. It'll take a couple of months to finish.
    My bird-repellant-line tape didn't hold, so I'll have to put it back up with some stronger tape or something. I have to wait til I can get the ladder from the basement. I figure I'll need to leave it up at least a week to see if it's working. I'll be able to tell by the bird droppings or lack thereof.

    Hi Vix
    Good Luck finding a decent tape for that. One thought, was the surface clean? I use Isopropyl Alcohol first before sticking anything to get the surface really clean.

    FWIW that will remove fresh Magic Marker and most fresh Ball Point Ink too.

    Cheers

    Good Evening;
    First chance today to sit down and get on the computer. I worked this morning and then went out to lunch with hubby, came home and did a few things around the house. By this time I was tired and decided to have a little nap, 2 hours later I woke up. I must have needed the sleep. :)
    Vix-Interesting idea about the paper to scare off the birds. What about trying the 3M products instead of tape. The ones that say they won't damage your walls. It might work on siding if you are sticking it to the house.
    Roger-I have an insulated freezer bag that I use to put my cold items in when I am not going home right after shopping. I think I only paid 1-2 dollars for it.
    Vix-What are you doing to the basement?
    Hi Irene-You have a good weekend also.
    We had a tree taken down in the side yard that was too close to the house. While our landscaper was here he asked if he could also trim some branches off of another tree that hung pretty low. He has to duck when he mows the lawn. He also took away a bunch of old brush and branches that we had behind the shed. My yard looks a lot neater. :)

    Hi Joanne
    The Pathmark had a Insulated Shoulder bag I looked at but at a on sale price of $14 I was not that interested. The Hand towel kept the frozen food frozen for the slow trek home, The Pathmark is not that close to the house :)

    Getting rid of the Ivy has made the back yard look much neater here.

    Hi all, went for a walk in the park this morning....too hot for me!
    Roger, I just tried using packing tape today. I'll see. Hung the wind chime with a hook that you can stick on with air pressure. Next time I go to Walmart, I think I'll pick up some of the 3m hangers for the line, instead of the tape. The air pressure hook wouldn't stick to the siding, but did stick to wood.
    Irene, glad you're enjoying your weekends off, sounds like you and your husband are making the most of it. A lake vacation sounds nice and resting. :)

    Hi Irene
    it is nice to be able to go and do things :)
    I did have a Good Week for weight loss, Surprised me when I worked out the loss too. I was up on Last Sunday and Monday from that Saturday and then it trended down for the rest of the week when I looked at my weight log book. Yipee!

    Have a Good Evening and try to avoid the heat and Humidity that are in the forecast.

    Enjoy the Lake Visit next month

    Hi Vix
    I used the 3M hangers in the windows to hold the Christmas lights last year, Being lazy and Frugal I left them in place for this year too.

    The Forecast is showing an overnight low of 77 degrees later in the week, Yuck! I may go out the door, get to the Quick Chek or McDonalds for Coffee and turn around that morning :)

    Have a Good Evening

    Good morning;
    Irene-your vacation sounds nice and relaxing. I will be on the go most of my vacation, seeing the sites of England. :)
    Good job on the steps and it is only 6;30 am. By this evening you will probably walk have walked close to 10 miles.
    Very humid here. I was going to clean out my shed,but am having second thoughts. I have enough stuff do to in the house to keep me busy and I do have to run a few errands.
    Roger-congrats on the weight loss. You are going so great. :)
    Vix-my grass is getting brown also. When my neighbor across the street mowed his lawn yesterday, he kicked up a lot of dust.
    Stay cool!

    Good morning.
    Well, both my methods for hanging things over my front door have failed. hmmm. Will stop at Walmart today and pick up some 3m hangers, see if that works. Roger, good to know they worked well for you. I think it's hard to stick anything to vinyl siding.
    Good for everyone getting their walks in!
    I've been reading up about my infusions....it takes a while before they kick in. One article said 4-6 weeks, another said up to 3 months. So it's ok that I'm not feeling all better yet. :blush: I also saw a recommendation for the Mediterranean diet, and it's important to try to avoid infections, get plenty of exercise/rest, and sleep. I already try to do that, so, it's all good.
    Irene and Jo....both your vacations sound wonderful. You'll have to tell us all about them, so we can enjoy it too. :) I'm going to stay home for a while. That last vacation was exhausting!

    Hi All
    I was out walking today another 2.85 Miles and 19 cents :) Humidity and Temperatures are up today and going higher as the week progresses, If You want to consider getting more humid and warmer progress :)
    I have finished Breakfast and am working on my water.

    I lucked out getting my McDs coffee. They locked up after me due to computer problems. I suspect I got mine as I keep exact change on hand for the coffee. $1.07

    Walking back home I saw a Blue Egret fishing in the brook, I do not know if it is the same one I have seen in a different brook or the same one moved to a different location.

    Have a Great Monday

    Hi Irene
    It was not the most comfortable morning for walking, OTOH I did get out the door at 5:15 and the Sun was not up far enough that I cast a shadow until I was almost home, Around 6:45 which did help with temperature and heat from the Sun.

    Mr. FitBit says 9,241steps so far for the day. use a FitBit Zip and have been having trouble syncing it lately. Then Yesterday I had a email from them telling me the battery was low and needed changing. :)

    Have a Good Day at work

    Hi Joanne
    Your vacation may keep You busy but it sounds like really smashing fun :)

    Having walked outside I plan to go into the cool of the basement and do some more delayed spring cleaning.
    The Neighbor across the street was watering everyday until recently, Then he got the one month water bill, over $90 and that was the end of the watering. Now his lawn is browning too. The only thing I am watering is the potted flowers.

    Cheers

    The 3m hooks said they don't stick well to vinyl, so I'll figure out something else.
    The Mediterranean diet includes nightshades, more conflicting advice. I don't eat many potatoes or eggplants, but I love my ketchup and salsa and peppers. I can try cutting them down/out for a few weeks and see how it goes. There's always mustard, herbs, spices, and other veggies. :)
    Right now, I'm just feeling achy and exhausted most of the time. blah.

    Hi all
    Walked today despite the Higher temperatures and Humidity, 2.8 miles approx, & 1Cent. I was out the door at 5:1, The rain had stopped,it was fairly cool and everything was wet with puddles here and there, By the time I got home the streets were drying and the humidity was at a uncomfortable level.

    Have a Great Tuesday

    Hi Vix
    I do not blame You for feeling blah. I am guessing You do not want to drill into the vinyl? They make hooks that have a large curved part that goes into the wall through the sheet rock with a small hole. I was thinking something like that might work with a small on the underside of the vinyl siding that can be easily patched and not really show.

    Good Luck

    Hi Irene
    What a difference a few miles makes :) I went out after the rain and IMO Yesterday was the better day. Yea for Air Conditioning :)

    By the Way, The Local News channel, News 12 and the NYC stations are beating poor Amazon over the head as a terrible place to work. I am guessing if it was as bad as they are making it out to be we would have heard about it from You? It almost as if they are being punished for being successful.

    We got rain overnight, I did not have to water the potted plants when I returned home from the walk. Possibility of rain for later again, As well as two more days this week, Oh well.

    Good Evening;
    We had a little thunder today and a sprinkling of rain. It is very humid, even the cats are staying in the air conditioned house. They usually spend most of there time in the breezeway with no ac.
    Hubby's foot has been bothering him for about a week now. He went to the ER this morning. He has an inflammed bursa. Dr. told him to take Motrin, ice his foot and stay off it for a few days. He also told him to buy heel lifts to put in his shoes. I hope it heals quickly, as we will be doing a lot of walking on vacation.
    Vix-I really thought the 3M product would do the trick. There must be something that will work. I am sure you are not the first person to have this problem.
    Irene-I wish I could water my lawn. We have a water ban. :(
    Roger-Is it dark out when you start your walk? It is dark when I leave for work now. I miss seeing the sunrise on my way to work.
    Have a good evening. :)

    Like Roger said, we could drill a hole and put a hook up, but I don't want to do that. I'm sure I'll think of something eventually. :wink:
    Those bursas are tricky little things...I have one in my lower back that gets inflamed from time to time. Sounds like good advice from the doc. Hope your hubby feels better soon. Are you going right after labor day? Getting close now, how exciting. :smiley:
    It rained really hard here for about 3-5 minutes, then stopped. Better than no rain. :)
    Have a good night, everyone.

    Hi All
    Wow was it warm and humid today when I walked, 2.75 miles despite that. Then some down time and a run to Home Depot & Costco and a sporting goods store on the way home, then on to McDOnalds for Decaf Coffee for Myself & regular for my brother. Home Depot stop not successful. Costco I got two 5 pound bags of frozen vegetables, Some Light & Fit Greek Yogurt, a Bath Towel and replacement slippers. Then So I can stop at a local supermarket on my walks I picked up a inexpensive Backpack $10. The Frozen & Yogurt was sitting on the bath towel in a large box in the trunk & covered with a Knit Blanket and stayed frozen nicely.

    Have Nice Day

    Hi Joanne
    I have been getting out the door at 5:15, Sunrise is somewhere around 6AM so Yes it is dark. I am doing that to try and beat the heat, No luck with that today however. OTOH it lets me get a lot of the walking done before the sun starts hitting me. When I was going out the door later I could feel the heat from the sun so I have drifted to going earlier. It does Mean I am going off to bed earlier however :) It also means I can get more walking into where the Sun would have been in my eyes before.

    Last week I walked a different route and I said, what the heck, we do not have two suns here!
    It turns out that the Rising Sun was creating a perfect mirror of itself on a shiny store front :)

    I had a suspicion that they found some disgruntled ex employees to talk too. Nobody can make everybody happy.

    I see I am not the only one getting rich during the walks :)

    As we approach 6PM I am at 11,463 steps for the day between the mornings walk, Home Depot, COstco and the Sporting Goods Store. I was dreading the expense of a backpack but $10 I can afford!

    I hope You had a Good Day at Work

    Good morning.
    Thanks Irene, I'll have to check out crafters tac. Congrats on the year at Amazon. :)
    Roger, I copied out a definition for you: (I didn't know we had that many!)
    A bursa is a fluid-filled sac that cushions an area of friction between tissues, such as tendon and bone. Bursae reduce friction between moving parts of the body, such as around the joints of the shoulder, elbow, hip, knee, and adjacent to the Achilles tendon in the heel.

    The number varies, but most people have about 160 bursae throughout the body. Bursae are lined with special cells, called synovial cells, which secrete a fluid rich in collagen and proteins. This synovial fluid acts as a lubricant when parts of the body move. Inflammation of a bursa is referred to as bursitis.

    Hi All
    I was out walking and it was warm and humid today when I walked, 2.75 miles despite that. Picked one whole Cent while walking, Whee :)

    I saw a Wild Turkey yesterday, 3 Deer today and one dead skunk in the road, Fortunately the wind was blowing away from me. Skunks are fearless due to their defense IMO and that gets them killed on the road. We have had them in the front yard in the past and I have smelled them wandering down the driveway now and then too.

    Nearby towns got pummeled with rain yesterday. Major Flooding, Streets and a major highway closed and damaged. Despite being close all we heard was some thunder and no rain. :)

    Not to much planned to happen today.
    Have a Great Thursday

    Hi Irene
    I walked too, it was not pleasant during the walk either. From what my Brother said it was 77 degrees and 77% humidity when I left, based on News12 weather reports.

    Congratulations on hitting one year, it should get easier as time goes on.

    Have a Good Day at Work

    I think if I were looking for Crafters Tac I would hit the Michaels across the mall from where I go for CostCo.

    Ha, Do I feel stupid now, I have had Bursitis in the past :)

    Thank You for the explanation

    Hi Roger, I always learn something new when I look things up....I really didn't know we had that many bursae. The one that usually bothers me gives me a PITA! I need a trip to a craft store soon. Just bought some Eurosham pillows (like big square bed pillows) to use on one of my couches, and need to make covers for them. I'll check for the Crafters Tac when I go. That project is on hold for now. :|

    Good afternoon;
    Wow Irene, it just seems like you started at Amazon a few months ago. Congratulations!
    Vix-I hope you got a copy of the photo. Hubby went back to work today. He said his foot was feeling a little better and if it hurt to much , he would sit down and rest it. He is standing for the 8 hours that he is at work.
    Roger-I don't think there is anything worse than smelling a skunk(imo).
    Have a good evening.

    Good morning. :)
    Jo, a couple of the ladies in my class brought the page of the paper in (I don't get the local paper), so I do have a copy. Hope your hubby was ok at work. It's hard to stand all day, especially with a pain in the foot.
    Time is just flying by.
    Looks like a beautiful day today....I need to do a little maintenance cleaning, and some grocery shopping....we go through a lot of lettuce!
    Enjoy the day, everyone. :)

    Hello All
    We had rain overnight, it was finished when I got up and looked out the Living Room window and the street was starting to dry. 77 degrees and high humidity however. Spread out over 6 different locations I picked up $4.15 today, Best Day for money since I started walking :) 2.8 miles done today. $4 of that was two $1 bills in two locations, They were wet and thus stayed where they must have fallen despite the Cars, Buses & Trucks driving by where they were and causing a cooling breeze.

    A nice cooling breeze came up during the walk, Sadly not until 4 blocks from the house :(

    Have a Great Friday

    Hi Roger, I always learn something new when I look things up....I really didn't know we had that many bursae. The one that usually bothers me gives me a PITA! I need a trip to a craft store soon. Just bought some Eurosham pillows (like big square bed pillows) to use on one of my couches, and need to make covers for them. I'll check for the Crafters Tac when I go. That project is on hold for now. :|

    Hi Vix
    I learn a lot too when I look online, sometimes it just does not occur to me for some reason :)
    Cheers

    Good afternoon;
    Wow Irene, it just seems like you started at Amazon a few months ago. Congratulations!
    Vix-I hope you got a copy of the photo. Hubby went back to work today. He said his foot was feeling a little better and if it hurt to much , he would sit down and rest it. He is standing for the 8 hours that he is at work.

    Hi Joanne
    You know they are odoriferous creatures when You can smell them walking down the driveway and that side of the house only has one small window in the basement, one in the attic, a side door with a storm door and a Wall mount AC unit.

    My Brother had a friend whose dog had one small fault, it could not learn to leave a Skunk alone, I wonder how hard is it to get that smell off of the dog and how long it lingers :)

    I hope Your Hubby makes it through the day with no problem. FWIW I would hate a job where I had to stand all day.

    Cheers

    Hi Vix
    I use a fair amount of lettuce as does my brother. I know I use a 1/2 head a day and I suspect he might use more. I have been eating the cherry tomatoes as a snack, 12 = 30 calories. I have a couple at a time throughout the day.

    Have a Good Day

    Good Evening;
    Irene-congrats on another lb. gone. :)
    Roger-If you keep finding money at that rate, you will be rich in no time. :p
    Vix-Hubby made it through work fine. He was a little sore at the end of the day.
    As I was driving to work this morning it was pouring, just as I pulled into the parking lot it stopped. The gods were smiling on me today.
    Have a good evening. :)

    Good morning, looks like another beautiful day here.
    Never did get to my walk yesterday, got sidetracked running errands. Hopefully will get out to the park this a.m.
    Congrats on the pound gone, Irene....Yay! :)
    Roger, haha...I think my husband and I each go through at least one romaine heart a day, plus other veggies we put in the salads. I like carrots, celery, and fruit for snacks. :) (Also like the bad stuff, but not going there!)
    Jo, glad your husband made it through work ok. I brought one of those hot/cold packs with me on vacation, so I could leave it in the freezer and ice my foot when we got back in the evening...I think that helped.
    Happy Saturday, everyone.

    Hi All
    I do need to go double check my upcoming order today, tomorrow is the last day to do that unless I make a last minute decision to delay it again. With the Holiday in 2 weeks I am ambivalent regarding doing that. OTOH doing that would let me use up more of the on hand food.

    I was walking and what a beautiful day, cool and low humidity and a mild breeze. I walked past 7 deer in three locations, one in a front yard near the brook, and two clusters of three along that brooks parkland. I keep looking for the Owls I hear every day during the walks and have yet to spot one.

    Have A Great Weekend

    Hi Vix
    I sidetracked Myself out of having my Midmorning PF +SC snack working away getting rid of some clutter in the basement, It seems like a never ending chore too.

    FWIW I freeze a .5 liter water bottle and wrap it in a hand towel to insulate it somewhat. That way I get to keep something cold and have Ice Water as the ice melts too.

    Have a Good Weekend
