    Good afternoon;
    Roger-I lot of the houses in my area have solar panels. I remember back in the 80's when solar was popular. It didn't last long. I wonder how long they will last this time?
    Vix-I loved Dr. Seuss when I was little. I had a large collection of his books. I believe I passed them on to one of my nephews.
    I am tired today, Vinny was very whinny last night and kept me awake. Finally at 1:30 I got up and gave him a handful of dry food and he settled down after that.
    Enjoy the rest of the day. :)

    Hi Joanne
    These days all I see are the panels to make electric, back then what I saw was mostly for hot water. I suspect that with the Feds pushing that sort of thing they will be around for a long time.

    I am sorry to hear that Your sleep was so interrupted.

    Good Luck Tonight
    Roger

    Hi Vix
    Pearl Harbor day, She was born before that and I always though that must have been a really terrible Birthday for her.

    I hope Your Anniversary is good, I hope I remember to congratulate You for it.

    Roger, thanks for the belated birthday wishes. It was a lot of fun.
    Jo, sorry Vinny kept you up. I took some melatonin last night to help me sleep. It works pretty well. :)
    I wish we all had solar panels, and geothermal, and wind turbines and electric rechargeable cars. Ha-ha...no more oil and gas and very little purchased electric and a cleaner world.
    Have a good night, everyone. :)

    Hi Again
    I'm not so sure I would want wind turbines near where I live :) They want to put some off shore and there is a lot of opposition to that.

    I have though that Solar Panels would be nice, but what would they do to the cost when the roof needed replacing?

    I will have to try the Melatonin tonight, I recall that there is some in the desk drawer, I wonder how old it is?

    Have a Great Evening

    Good morning.
    Turbines are big and noisy, but for the future...when he was in grad school, my son was working on/researching quieter smaller possible rooftop units. :smile:
    The melatonin didn't work so well on the 2nd night. I was up for over an hour, read a bit and then was able to get back to sleep for a couple more hours.
    Hi Jo and Irene.
    Happy Friday, everyone. :smile:

    Hi Vix
    You sound like my brother he is up in the middle of every night for a hour or three too :)
    OTOH when he is asleep a bomb could go off and he would sleep through it, weird huh?

    Good Luck Sleeping Tonight

    Thanks, Roger, I think I'll just take some Alleve with dinner. It was definitely pain keeping me up.
    Pretty picture....I love the blue herons, we have them around here too.
    Oh, and good idea about holiday pictures. That'll be fun.
    Have a good night, everyone. :)

    Hi All
    I was out walking today, cold, 26 degrees in a nearby town, 31degrees on the close in front porch, Frost on the cars and lawns as I started out. Walking it was cold in the shade and when I got into the Sun those areas were OK. I walked by the Post Office and mailed a CC payment, then to the 7-Eleven for a extra large coffee refill, $1.34, $1.92 if not a refill so a decent saving :)

    It is now a nice sunny day outside. I have a NS Honey Bagel set out for my mid Morning PF + SC snack per plan.

    I finally hit a weight below Thanksgiving morning today. Tough Holiday, I knew most of it would come quickly as it went up to fast to be a true weight gain. OTOH I stayed in Onderland :)

    Have a Great Weekend

    Hi Irene
    I know that working five 9 hours Plus the 8 hour Saturday every week for 6 days a week for years was tiring to me. Fortunately You'll be done with all those hours sometime after the holidays are over. Then it will be time for the NutriSystem warehouses to get busy with all the new customers from New Year Resolutions :)

    BTW I saw a quick blurb on News12, The cable only news channel that Robbinsville? was unhappy with the Amazon traffic and wanted to eliminate the traffic. I wonder how that will play out, I suspect just posturing by the town.

    Have a great Weekend

    Hi Joanne
    I hate it when I do that and I have several ways I do it too :)
    FWIW I have seen posts on another forum where the person does the message in their
    word processor to use spell check and grammar check functions and then pastes it into the message.
    I do it in Firefox as my browser for spell checking. I also use no script and if I turn on Scripting it wipes whatever I was composing :(

    Better luck next time

    Hi Vix
    The Night was OK, Thanks.

    The frost was heavier this morning than yesterday too. Whether a function of Temperatures being lower or Humidity I do not know.

    Have a Good Sunday

    Good afternoon;
    A little frost this morning, now it is 53 and the sun is shinning.
    I just took my christmas tree out of the attic. I will probably decorate it tomorrow.
    Vix-I hope you slept a little better last night. I had a great nights sleep. My daughter spent the night, so Vinny slept with her and didn't wake me up this morning to be fed. :)
    Roger-nice pictures.
    Irene-I hope you have today off and can relax.
    I am on vacation next week. The only thing planned is decorating the tree and possible some baking, and catching up on some reading.
    Have a great day. :)

    Jo, sounds like a nice week coming up for you. :)
    I took a melatonin last night and slept pretty well. Thanks. Too bad nothing works for me 2 days in a row. I'm trying to keep busy today and tire myself out....maybe that'll work. :) I finished framing a couple of watercolor paintings and hubs helped me get some hooks on the wall in a straight line....so I'll hang them. I'll clean up the dining room table (where I was working), and then maybe later or tomorrow, I'll see if I can finish covering those last 2 pillows. Then I have to clean up my spare room, hopefully the kids will be able to take the bed downstairs for me over the weekend, so I can start fixing up that room for my study/craft room. :)
    Just watched part of the football game.
    Will go try to get some more stuff done.
    Have a great evening, everyone. :)

    Good morning;
    Vix-Happy Anniversary! Sounds like you had a productive day yesterday.
    Hi Irene- Those are long days. Does everyone get off work at the same time, that it took you so long to get out of the parking lot?
    Doing some house work this morning, running a few errands and since hubby is off, I think we will probably go out to lunch. We always go to the same place, he gets greek salad with grilled chicken and I get a garden salad with grilled chicken, dressing on the side.
    Contractors just pulled up, I hope they finish the front of the house today. I would like to put my wreaths on the doors.
    Have a great day! :)

    Went to the gym this morning....will be headed out for a massage in a little while.
    Jo, hope they get the front of your house done...that would be so nice before the holidays! Enjoy your time off!
    Irene, sorry you have such long hours, maybe you will have less traffic with the new hours.
    Hi Roger!
    We're going out to dinner tonight, a little fancier than we usually do! It'll be fun.
    Have a great day, everyone. :)

    Hi All
    It was cold when I went out this morning, when I went out later to buy a new belt (NSV) it was much better.

    Tomorrow is the next tough day, My Brother & I are having lunch with a friend and she decided that a Chinese Buffet would be a nice change, from Thai food or the Diner. I am not afraid of finding items I can eat as much as the sauce on them, Example Chicken Broccoli is OK except for the sauce, The Green beans or Cabbage would be OK but usually in a Butter sauce and so on. If it is like the other one they will have a fresh Fruit section and Desserts.

    Have a great Monday
    Roger

    Hi Joanne
    We haven't decided when to put up the tree yet.

    I'm glad to hear You got a better sleep.

    My brother has already made some fruit cake, 3 smaller loaves and a larger loaf,
    They are presently sitting in a plastic container after getting the first spray of brandy, they'll get it for many days too.

    Even people that do not like Fruit Cake like his. This Year he did some additions, Dried cranberries, Dried Blueberries,
    Dried Apricots, Dried Cherries, Currants, Golden Raisins and Pecans are in there along with some other fruits.

    Cheers

    Hi Irene
    I am guessing that those 7,000 are spread out over more than one shift? The place must be humongous :)
    Even 4,000 people is a lot to me.

    You would think they would have foreseen that their would be traffic, OTOH looking ahead is not a politician thing to do.

    Regarding Computers I have gone the Dell route and that was OK, I am using a Lenovo All-In-One right now and
    I am still using a computer I built for working with video too. I built my Brothers too. When I build I use high Quality Brand
    name parts and they are pretty durable as a result.

    I hope Your Husband enjoys the new computer.

    I just pulled the front glass out of the Aluminum door it had some blue stuff on it blocking the view,
    I expect to get it back ready to use tomorrow and then I can a wreath on the inside of it.

    Good Luck Getting the front of the house done today.

    Roger, I agree, buffets are the hardest to find good food. However, you may be able to opt out of the buffet, and as Jo said, order a main dish steamed with the sauce on the side...so much healthier!

    Happy Chanukah.
    Little set back with the house yesterday. The contractor's helper has a rotator cuff problem and it is acting up, so he will not be able to hammer. Contractor worked by himself yesterday, hopefully he will have some help today.
    Roger-congratulations on getting a smaller belt. You are doing amazing. Do you have much more to lose?
    I got my last online order yesterday, so I am officially done christmas shopping. :)
    I am making chocolate lollipops today. They are for my hubby's and my work. I make them every year.
    Have a great day and stay warm. :)
