    Good morning.
    Roger, I didn't watch/pay attention to the ads....I tend to generally ignore advertisements. I get enough sales pitches from politics and just doing everyday things. Even these pages include ads.
    It's 47 out now with a high of 51 expected today with rain in the afternoon.
    Irene, sometimes it's good to take a day off.
    Hi Jo.
    No special plans for today. Happy Wednesday. :)

    I just posted more humor

    Hi
    I'm back home from walking and no money was found. The Temperature out the door was 39 degrees. Yesterday in the evening into earlier this morning there was some rain that had ended at some point in time before I left the house, Things were wet but not super wet so it was OK for walking.

    good morning, we did our walk but I am a little sore from all the walk I have been doing so I skipped the treadmill but I will be taking Annie for our afternoon walk. I also will be going to the hospital today. hey Roger awesome you found another penny. hi vix and jo
    Hi Irene
    That was some distance You walked, 7 miles, Yikes.

    Have a Good day today. I am only guessing that Your weather was similar to mine. Bad news about the Gas tax going up again, I suspect that will be a yearly occurrence what with the fact that a the price per gallon of gas goes up the amount of driving will decrease leading to a drop in tax revenue and that will be for a while until the mileage driven can be lowered further.

    Thanks

    Have a Good Day

    I tend to skip over adverts too, especially when watching a show off of the DVR, Sometimes I have to skip back for something that caught my brothers eye, Oh well.

    To the good the site is free to use due to the advertising :wink:

    I haven't sold any of my stained glass. I have given some away as gifts. Someone wanted to buy one of my paintings today....I'm thinking about it. It's hard to put a price on things, so much work goes into them.
    Have a good night, everyone. :)

    Hi

    Hi Again
    I had wondered about that, I'm sure the stained glass is really appreciated.

    To sell or not to sell, The important to me is that someone liked the painting that much that they wanted to buy it. That is a testament to Your Skill.

    Have a Good Day

    Hi Irene
    Thursday I missed the rain by long enough that things were not dripping. Not so today and then it started up again before I got home. IMO the weatherman got the forecast slightly wrong as to the when. I like the Acme for the lack of crowding compared to the ShopRite much of the time, I will go there even if their prices are a bit higher. Saving money does not always beat being able to enjoy the time in the store, I get parked much closer. The one thing I am not a fan of is that they have more self serve checkouts compared to real cashiers. Same Reason I prefer Lowes vs Home Depot.

    I rarely watch things live for many years, DVRs are the way, an exception would be things like the State Of the Union address this week.

    Have a Nice Day

    good morning, roger I go to the acme because it is so 2 minutes away and Shoprite is at least 30 minutes away . I do a lot of my food shopping at ft Dix. Vix if you ever decide to sale your stain glass let me know the couple of pieces that I saw of your work were beautiful. Speaking of food shopping that is my plan for today. We did get an hour walk in and I think we missed the rain it was in the 40s when we walked take care everyone

    Good morning.
    It's pretty cloudy here 44 degrees. Walked in the park yesterday, pretty muddy, and my leg and foot are bothering me, so it wasn't much fun.
    We got a new Cuisinart electric can opener....it's nice. Our hand can openers never last very long.
    Nothing planned for today, good day to catch up on things around the house. May go walking around a mall later, easier than the park.
    Happy Friday everyone. :)

    More Humor will shortly be available to view

    Hi
    I'm back home from walking and no money was found. The Temperature out the door was 29 degrees. Yesterday afternoon the wind gusts started and this morning while walking the wind gusts and hence the wind chill were still ongoing making it only semi comfortable walking.

    I am hoping that the rest of the day goes better than this morning has started out, I went to print something out and Got a Replace Toner message in the printer :(
    Luckily when I bought it I chose to get a spare toner at a discount with the printer so I will be installing that later, Oh well. The starter toner has lasted a long time so...

    Hi Irene
    That is a darn good reason to go to the Acme, You would have to save a a fair amount of money at the ShopRite to make the driving expense and time lost of the trip worth doing.

    Interesting, does that mean You can shop at the PX ? If so how are prices there I have heard that they have good prices.

    Friday I almost missed the rain having been out walking in the gap before it resumed. Not a heavy rain, Just enough to get everything soaked.

    I hope the walking for You today is good and that You are not having the windchill I ran into when I had to face into the wind. When I had my back to the wind or it was blowing against my side I was OK. One the return leg I stopped and sat with my back to the wind to warm up :(

    Have a Good Day
    Roger

    Hi Vix
    Yesterday was OK once the rain stopped until the wind gusts started then not so nice outside. The Birds are eating a lot of the birdseed in the feeder and the Squirrels are eating up what the scatter on the ground while eating.
    The Crows discovered the Suet Block and ate it up in a couple of days :(

    I wonder why Your hand openers do not hold up ? We have been using the same one for years.
    This may sound strange but we do use the Cuisinart kitchen scale, A nice paring knife and a Skillet :smile:

    Mall walking is popular around here, usually they walk in groups before the mall is open, Is it the same there ?

    Have a Nice Day

    Good morning.
    As to the can openers...I had one that lasted for decades, but the replacement ones I've bought in the last several years just get cranky and pop out and just don't cut well after several months. I have other Cuisinart products and like them. So far the can opener is really nice.
    There are groups around here that mall walk. I don't do that. If I go, I browse and it's mostly just to get out. I'm taking a couple of days off from walking...may use the eliptical today, it's not as hard on my joints.
    I've never heard of fox squirrels...those are some big squirrels.
    It's 22 here with a high expected of 34.
    Not much planned.
    Happy Saturday, everyone. :)

    Good morning;
    Roger-We have a lot of mall walkers at the all near us. I also DVR everything that I watch and fast forward through the commercials.
    Vix-I find that the can openers that are being sold these days are of inferior quality. Years ago items lasted longer. I have a few things of my mothers, that are over 60 years old and still work fine.
    Irene-It is good to take a day off every once in a while.
    It is 29 degrees and very windy. It feels a lot colder. Nothing planned for today except laundry.
    Have a great day. :)

    I did post more humor

    Hi
    I'm back home from walking and one shiny dime was found. The Temperature out the door was 23 degrees.

    I hope You enjoy the show. Lucky me, the toner change took around 5 minutes, the Brother is a little more work than a HP for example. You need to pull the Toner unit, remove the toner portion and replace it with the new toner unit then put the entire assembly into the printer.

    What hasn't declined in quality and increased in price these days ?

    The reason I do not mall walk is that until my brother gets up I'm parked in :wink:

    I thought they were really big too.

    I like the picture too.

    Thank You for the image
