    Good morning.
    Glad you got thru your tests Irene. I know you'll feel better when you get the results.
    The dentist cleaned out under the gum which was a bit painful, but most of the swelling is down today. My antibiotics go thru Friday. I have to go back next week for him to take another look. I may have to go to a periodontist to fix the gum.
    It's another rainy morning here. I have a full day of clay today.
    Have a happy day, everyone. :)

    Hi
    With the weather forecast for rain starting later today into tomorrow I decided to pick up my fruit today while the weather is good + 9200 steps. I picked up 4 apples, 3 Jazz and 1 granny Smith, As well as 3 Yogurts at 3 for $1.99, A new brand to me so if I like them I can pick up more Thursday :)
    it was in the 50s when I started out with no discernible breeze.

    I went to listen to a "Richard Diamond" Radio Show while walking, It turned out to be a episode of "The Green Hornet" radio show. Enjoyable too.

    BTW many of the Richard Diamond shows were written by Blake Edwards of the Pink Pather Movie Series.

    Have a Good Tuesday

    Good afternoon;
    It is awfully chilly, but the sun is shinning.
    Irene-good luck at the Dr.
    Vix-I hope you made out alright at the dentist.
    Roger-I went out walking twice yesterday and hit just shy of 20,000 steps. Today I am at 17,000 so far.
    I went to bed fine last night and woke up this morning missing a filling. I wonder if I swallowed it during the night?
    I have an appt. on Thursday to get it fixed. I have no pain and the hole is behind my front tooth, so not noticeable
    The carpenter is here putting on a new storm door.
    Have a good evening. :)

    Hi Joanne
    Better a filling, The last one that happened to me was not a filling, A piece of tooth broke off when I was having Dinner some years ago.

    I am on my high side of steps for this early in the day, I should cruise past 10K steps easily today, Tomorrow with the rain forecast I may end up on the low side for steps, It is getting warm to be togged up in head to toe rain gear. Holding a umbrella in one hand, the walking stick in the other and then the Coffee Cup in the third hand does not seem to work well for some reason. I tend to end up wearing some of the coffee :)

    Hmmmm... A new storm door, was the old one bad? We went cheap and just put a couple of hole through the Aluminum Storm door to hold the closer as the holes were stripped out. It leads onto the closed in porch. Since all my packages are marked to be delivered on the closed porch they stay dry rain or shine.

    Good Luck at the Dentist, FWIW one of my least favorite destinations.

    Whoa...sorry about your tooth, Jo. I guess it's easy enough to replace a filling. :)
    Roger, I lived in NJ while I was growing up and never heard of either of those sandwiches! Ha!
    We did have an Acme a few blocks away....always pronounced it with 2 syllables. Well.
    Thanks for the music...haha, Merv Griffin.
    Irene, hope your tests went well.
    I have to finish up my week of antibiotics, and will be going back to the dentist a week from Wednesday. I may need to go to a periodontist to have some work done on my gum. We'll see.
    Have a good evening, everyone. :)

    Hi Vix
    Strange You never had one of those Sandwiches. Does that mean You also never had a Pork Roll (Taylor Ham) and Cheese on a Hard Roll AKA Kaiser Roll or Vienna Roll? They are also delicious FWIW IMO.

    I was talking to a crossing guard about the Acme pronunciation today on my walk and he also calls it AK-Me as do I and a friend of his calls it Ak-A-Me.

    The Music sort of got stuck in my head yesterday when I heard it at the end of the Detective Radio Shows I was listening. Quite often, Most of the time TBH the Richard Diamond Shows end with Dick Powell singing to his Girlfriend.

    Sorry to hear that You are having Gum problems.
    Good Luck
    Roger
    good morning, I haven't gone out to walk yet but plan on doing it soon. The test was fine it just took all day. I will find out more when I go to the drs next week. The first part was the dye in my veins and then the second part was when it showed it in my bones . Don't have much planned today just walk and the bank Jo good luck at the dentist . So Vix are you feeling better or is your mouth still hurting . Roger I don't eat any of those sandwiches but I know a lot of people who do they love that stuff.

    Hi Irene
    I Like those Sandwiches as well as Pork Roll (Taylor Ham) and Cheese on a Hard Roll, My waistline doesn't like them however :( They are sorely missed friends.

    I tend to do my banking during my walk as I can pass either or both of the ones I deal with. I split my banking as a Just in case thing.

    Good Luck with the results
    Enjoy Your walk, Stay Dry

    Good afternoon;
    Irene-glad you test are over and hope you get good news.
    Roger-I never heard of those sandwiches either. Is it a New Jersey thing?
    As for the storm door, when we had the house sided and a new front door put in, a storm door wasn't in the budget.
    I feel safer with the storm door on. Now when I open my front door to someone, I have the storm door as a buffer from unwanted solicitors.
    Vix-I hope the antibiotics do their job and you won't have to see the periodontist. It seems like you have been having a lot of rain lately.
    It is sunny here but still cool.
    Enjoy the rest of your day. :)

    Jo, we don't have a storm door, but don't really get many solicitors. The ones around here usually just leave a flyer behind the flag of the mailbox. We have been getting a lot of rain lately! It's kind of a celebration when we see the sun. :smiley:

    Hi
    Yesterdays rain was a fizzle in my area, at some point in the afternoon it rained just enough to get the street wet except under the trees where it stayed dry.

    The temperature outside was OK while walking, 7900 steps.

    Have a Good Wednesday

    Hi Joanne
    From here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pork_roll
    Pork roll (regionally known as Taylor Ham)[1][2] is a pork-based processed meat originating and commonly available in New Jersey, Delaware and parts of Pennsylvania and Maryland. It was developed in 1856[3] by John Taylor of Trenton, New Jersey, and sold as "Taylor Ham". Other producers entered the market, and subsequent food labeling regulations required Taylor to designate it as a "pork roll" alongside their competitors.

    And
    John Taylor is credited with creating his secret recipe for the product in 1856. George Washington Case, a farmer and butcher from nearby Belle Mead, New Jersey, created his own recipe for pork roll in 1870.

    And
    Taylor and Trenton are the brand names for pork roll made by Taylor Provisions,[5] of Trenton, New Jersey. Other companies making pork roll include crosstown rivals Case Pork Roll Company[6] and Loeffler's Gourmet,[7] as well as Hatfield Quality Meats of Hatfield, Pennsylvania, and Alderfer Premium Meats[8] of Harleysville, Pennsylvania.


    Since Trenton is the state Capital I guess You could say it is a NJ product, Missed by NJ expatriates. For example my Brother shipped out a 2 pound roll that we froze and vacuum sealed first. Destination a friend that now lives out in the Midwest who can not get it there. next up as soon as we get the new ship to address for a family member that moved to the west coast is the other 2 pounder.

    We know they will both be happy to get them too from conversations.
    The Pork Roll Egg and Cheese on a Hard Roll as well as being listed as a side meat for breakfast platters are on breakfast menus around here. What You see is a choice of meats Bacon, Pork Roll, Ham or Sausage. Usually the Pork Roll and Cheese on a hard roll are available all day. I often carried one for lunch at work, They worked both heated up in the Microwave and Room Temperature.

    We have a 1/3 light front door to look through, The window is high enough that even if they broke it our they could not reach the Lock handle. What we see are a mix of pushy sales people, Meter readers, and Jehovah Witnesses at the door. From reading I see that a common criminal method is Knock and if no answer go around back to break in. Why they all knock instead of using our doorbell is beyond me :) Plus some stand on the front steps and knock on the screen door instead of coming onto the porch.

    Have a Good Day
    Roger

    good morning,jumped on the scale this morning up another 2 pounds I need to do something this is not a good way to start my day hoping it is water. I will be doing more walks maybe that will help. We have the ring it will come up when someone is at our front door it is really cool you , we have smart phones and it rings on your phone and you can see and talk so you don't even have to be home we really like it.well it rained again yesterday keep this up I will never have to water my plants. Well today I plan on going to veterans park to walk and then to shoprite for some fruit pretty much it have a good day

    Hi Irene
    Congratulations on hitting all those steps.

    FWIW If I eat anywhere but home I end up retaining water :) Chinese food for example can cause a 3 or 4 pound temporary gain over two days.

    Is that the one they have been advertising on TV lately that is two way with voice and video?

    From what I could see we were on the fringe of the rain where I live and further south where You are there was more rain.

    I tend to buy different types of apples and Citrus for much of my fruit with some Cherries, Blackberries, Nectarines and Plums mixed in. Those all seem to be available currently at a reasonable price.

    FWIW if You get the circular from Shoprite in the mail there are coupons for a case of SR water for $1 and a 4 pound bag of Navel Oranges for a $1too. My Brother picked them both up for here. I believe the coupons are good through Saturday. 4 pounds for a bag of oranges is a pretty good price. I think You do need their key tag however. We both have a different key tag so we'll be getting another set of both of them as I picked up a spare circular. Your mentioning buying fruit reminded me to mention them.

    Have a Good Day

    Hi Vix
    Nothing wrong with being frugal :)

    For most homes a storm door helps keep a driving rain from getting under the front door. In our case the back door is under a decent sized overhang, the front door is on a enclosed porch so it is protected and the side door does also have a storm door. Since You are near Washington D.C. and from what the local weatherman was saying they have been getting lots of rain I am not surprised You have been under a rain cloud too.

    Around here they usually use a dangler that hooks over the door knob.

    Enjoy the Body Flow Class, Whatever that is

    Good afternoon;
    Just got home from work and am now doing laundry. I have the soaker hose going to water my plants in the side yard.
    Roger-Sorry to say that the pork roll doesn't appeal to me. I also try not to eat processed meat.
    Irene-Good job getting your walk in. Are you planning on going back to work in the near future?
    Vix-What do you do in body flow class?
    Irene-that feature on your phone to see who is at the door sounds cool. What is the actual name of it?
    Enjoy your day. :)

    Hi Jo. I need to do laundry too. I'm just home from getting my hair cut and roots colored. Body flow is a combination of yoga, tai chi, and pilates. It's not so easy right now, I'm modifying a lot of moves .
    Irene, the phone thing for the door does sound cool. Did you have to hook something up to your door bell?
    Roger, we have a covered porch too, no storm door needed for storms...we had a storm door at our old house, it helps in the bad weather. I like Jo's idea too for keeping solicitors out. :)

    Hi
    I was out walking earlier, 3 stops during the walk + 8200 steps.
    Now after trip to the lumber yard to price items I am up to 9200 steps :)
    Today's weather has started out nice and is supposed to be in the 70s for a high.

    I'm not saying I'm less than impressed by the News out of the New York TV stations however, When they call the image below a Bulldozer............. ??
    YHXroJ.jpg
    However to me this is a Bulldozer not the Excavator shown above :)
    7vt3PM.jpg

    Currently I am running a file recovery program on a external drive from my Brother, It got corrupted by a power outage, That is the likely cause anyway. The Deep Scan portion took from Noon to almost 7AM. Now it is recovering to a different external drive and then I'll try and see if I can fix the old drive. Currently Windows thinks it needs to be formatted and will not run chkdsk on it.

    Have a Nice Thursday

    Hi Joanne
    If I said I do not worry about processes foods as such, I do tend to look at the amount of sodium however since I tend to retain water easily.

    We still need to run the soaker hoses in the garden out back. I already have a Y fitting on the Spigot to feed the two soakers and be able to control the flow individually to them.

    Have a Good Day

    Hi Vix
    Laundry is something I do every 10 days or so as I keep a deep stock of clean clothes on hand to allow that to happen. We have a High capacity Washer :)

    What I do when I leave the front door open onto the porch for fresh air is lock the Aluminum Storm Door, Just in case.

    Hi Irene
    I think that may be the one I have seen advertised on the TV. It would not work for me since neither of us has a smart phone, Only basic Flip Phones, They do not do Internet.

    As for not working or working......
    Pros for not working, No more pressure, no more living a life ruled by the work schedule or Alarm Clock, No Commuting!
    Cons, Lowered Income? I am worrying that this current push for a $15 a hour minimum wage will have a impact on how my fixed income lasts. As well as Employment levels. Wendy's has already said they are planning to got to Automated Ordering and I have seen demonstrations of a Burger maker from McDonalds that eliminates workers too.

    Have a Nice Day

    Hi
    7200 steps and 1 Cent today. The Weather is warming up already too. I picked up some Blackberries at $0.99 and some Cherries and two Bananas since the weather is warming up.
    Before I left I turned off the heat as it was running and today is supposed to be in the mid 70s, We should not need it and may even be done with the heat until fall :)

    Have a Nice Friday
    Roger

    Hi Vix
    I hope so, I already have My running done for today. Yesterday I got my Brothers Hard Drive repaired, then I came up to this computer and son of a gun, My External drive here has a problem too, great!

    So I know what I will be doing later on. I doubt the drive is bad, just not showing as partitioned and formatted :(

    Cheers

    Jo, you've put in a whole day already! Enjoy your walk (and your 3 days off!). That's early to be up on a weekend!
    I have a terrible time trying to plan vacations...I think I have a block! One of my least favorite things to do.
    It's raining here again. Going to the pottery studio this morning, still have some studio time left and our last class of this session is Tuesday. We signed up for another session starting in June.
    I bought some fresh Florida blueberries on sale. Love blueberries. :)

    Hi
    8700 steps + 1 cent from walking this morning. The weather is cooler today and clouded over with some rain in the forecast. The rain is forecast to start in South NJ and move into my area in the afternoon. I can't complain as we are still under where we should be for rain this year.

    My Patio is being invaded by Tent Caterpillars. I have to keep killing them off of the Apple trees we planted, before I noticed them they had decimated several of the leafs on them. They keep trying to cocoon up under the overhang around the back door and along the door as well as the same thing on the Shed. Not to mention around the outside back door trim and the bottom of the siding. The newly planted apple trees seem to be where they head for a snack, they do not seem to be bothering the Raspberry plants or the Blackberry plant.

    Have a Great Weekend

    Garden report, considering that they were planted this year, I was surprised to see blossoms on the Apple trees and what appear to be flower buds on some of the Raspberry plants.
    We now have pulled some of the larger radishes this morning to thin out the row. Size from 3/4" to 1". Nice and crispy and not hot like they get later in the year. One of the two Rhubarb plants has pushed leafs above the surface and my brother thinks the Jerusalem Artichokes pictured below are coming up. They are planted in the raised bed in the front growing area on each side of the porch. I pictured them just in case.

    Hi Vix
    Friday was sunny and TBH a little warm.

    I think I like Raspberries and Blackberries better than Blueberries, Cherries are better IMO too. However it is all a matter of taste. Blueberries are better in Pancakes and Muffins, and believe it or not I love them in Bagels too.

    You seem to be getting Your rain earlier than I, Stay Dry

    Hi Joanne
    I am a bit puzzled by the My external drive, It works perfectly in the basement and is detected when plugged into this computer but with no contents detected. I have backed it up using the basement computer and am thinking about cleaning off a different drive and putting the contents on that drive to see if it works. if so then that makes two backups and I will try zeroing it out and then creating a new partition and a fresh format and see if that works as a test. I have gone and got that started now.

    I made a living for years at a computer store recovering data, removing Viruses and general repair, upgrades and assembling new computers. In the repair area I even fixed motherboards that had bad capacitors, Bad capacitors were a problem for many name brands over a period of years. I will solve this problem :) It was just easier when I worked and access to more tools and spares.

    You have been busy already.

    Have a Good Saturday

    good morning, knee is really hurting today going to have to take something I try and not take anything during the day . Went for a walk a slow one at that but I did get in 7846 steps which is pretty good for me . I haven't been able to put the steps in because of my knee hopefully soon that ends . I am thinking about taking yoga classes after my knee gets better always wanted to learn but I do have to wait. It looks like it is going to rain here that is ok so my grass will get watered I am trying to get rid of some bare spots we have. Not sure what we have planned for today . Vix I love blueberries. I had some in my cereal this morning it really was good . Jo the park sounds nice. Roger I never heard of tent caterpillars are they different from other caterpillars?

    The have eaten most of the leaves off of the Wild Cherry Tree in the neighbors yard behind the house and is where they are coming from. They Move pretty fast too.

    Hmmm.... I do have some frozen Blueberries in the freezer I could try adding to my cereal when I switch back to it, Currently I am eating some Hot NS breakfasts, Pancakes Yesterday, Waffles today and their Omelet or French Toast tomorrow. When I open the Quart of Milk for cereal I stay with the cereal until the milk is used up that way as I hate to waste it and the only use for it is in my cereal. I use the UHT 1% and My brother will not touch Skim or 1% milk :)

    Congratulations on that walking distance

    Hopefully they can fix the knee and You get the Insurance OK for the procedure

    Good afternoon;
    Roger-those caterpillars can be a nuisance. I have seen them while out walking in the woods, but thankfully not in my yard.
    Vix-I love blueberries. They were on sale last week as a bogo. I have 1/2 a container left. This week I bought raspberries and cherries.
    Irene-Sorry your knee is hurting,but good for you getting in your steps.
    We walked 5.2 miles this morning, approximately 12,000 steps. I am now at 16,000 steps and 6.8 miles. I am trying to shoot for 20,000 by the end of the day.
    It is getting overcast here and the rain is supposed to start some time tonight.
    Enjoy the rest of the day. :)

    We call them tent moths here, same thing. They can be really distructive and they are hard to get rid of. Last year we had some Japanese beetles that ate most of the leaves off our red maple before we found them, but it came back pretty well this year, except for the very top.
    It's been raining here all day, just lightly, but non-stop.
    I think blueberries are my favorite! The only downside is the blue lips. :blush:
    I found a quarter in the street today, walking from the pottery studio to the car.
    Irene, good for you for getting a walk in. Hope your knee starts feeling better. Are you going back to the doc this week?
    Roger, what do you do with Jerusalem artichoke? It looks a little like fresh ginger root, which I've just started using recently. (I also love ginger!)

    good Sunday morning, oh Roger I have seen them not in my yard but in the woods hope you can get rid of them. I skipped my walk this morning too much pain I guess I over did it during the week so now I am hurting at least I go to the drs tomorrow and then on wednesday hopefully they know what they are going to do. I need to get this taken care of so I can start walking again all this sitting around is going to make me gain weight. My girlfriends son passed away so I am going to visit her today he was only 51 he is only 9 years younger than I such a shame he had an heart attack I will find out more when I visit her ,it isn't even 2 years since her husband has passed I fill sorry for her .

    Good morning;
    Irene-sorry for your girlfriends loss. It is terrible when you lose a child. I will pray for her.
    Good luck at your dr. appt. tomorrow.
    I have been to the flea market this morning and out to breakfast. I had a veggie omelet, ate some and took the rest home. I will be able to get 2 more breakfasts out of it.
    There were not too many vendors at the flea market. I think it was because of the weather.
    It is very overcast and occasional sprinkles here.
    Nothing else planned for the day.

    Hi
    I stopped for Coffee on the outbound leg at 7-Eleven and McDonalds for a Large Decaf and the Dollar Store for a Quart of 1% Milk to keep a decent amount of it on the Pantry shelf on the inbound leg + 8500 steps. I'm pretty sure I can use up the milk on cereal before it expires on April 11, 2017 :)

    The Weather was in the Mid to upper 50s when I went out to start my walk, The Rain has passed for now and things are drying out.

    My Brother picked up some Insecticidal Soap yesterday and it works pretty good on the Tent Caterpillars.

    Have a Really Nice Sunday
    Roger
