    Roger, we'll be in the Fort Myers area....south of St. Petersburg and Sarasota, north of Naples.
    We're going to do an Everglades boat ride, and there are a lot of wildlife refuges/preserves, a butterfly house, and lots of beaches.
    Irene, good that you're checking out the surgery center.
    Hiya Jo.
    Have a good day, everyone. :)

    Good afternoon;
    Vix-Do you think the cleaning people could have thrown the candy out?
    Irene-were you happy with your visit to the surgery center?
    Roger-I have a friend that lives in Weeki Wachee and she says that the mermaid show is excellent.
    Humid and scattered showers today. You all sound busy today.
    I worked 5-1 today and now am just relaxing and thinking about what I should be doing. :p
    Have a good evening! :)

    Hi
    This item was spotted by my brother on the water shelf at the Local ShopRite This morning while we were shopping. :) That shopping trip is why I am up to 9500 steps so far for the day.

    It is a what the heck type of item.

    We had a very light rain in the 3PM hour at sometime, almost enough to wet the ground :)

    I did not do any Kitchen cleaning that I had planned to do today, beyond cleaning the screen in the sink drain today. Between my brother & I we cleaned the Living Room wall mounted AC & Filter and then I vacuumed the living room to finish the job. My Brother took the filter and cover out and cleaned them and I used a old Toothbrush to clean the metal fins behind the filter.

    Cheers

    Hi Vix
    taking a AirBoat tour of the everglades is one of things I missed doing in Florida. FWIW I always went down in the off season. In January prices seemed to be at their lowest for the year for rooms from what I could see on the posted prices and Crowds smaller anywhere I went. At night I went to a Mystery Dinner in Orlando and did a few other touristy type things too.

    Thank You for the Information and Have a good Evening

    HI Joanne
    Many years ago I did a lot of the touristy type things and Weeki Wachee was one of them. This was before Disney World and all the other things got going big time. I think it had opened but back in the 70s a lot of things were not as developed as they are now.

    Have a Nice Evening

    Haha...no, I think they ate the chocolate. Usually they ask if we have candy out in a bowl or anything. No biggie. I just thought it was odd. They're a little funny anyway....sometimes they move furniture or other stuff around, or put things away where I don't expect them (sometimes I have to search for my glasses or something I left on the counter) but I don't mind as long as the house is clean!
    Roger, I've never seen boxed water....Frank and stein, pretty funny. :)

    good morning, went for our walk I did 7000 steps and found 11 cents I really didn't walk too much yesterday so I kinda made up for today. It was really hot it is already 80 out side it is going to be a hot one today. Yesterday I got a tour of the surgery center it was nice George and I got to see everything . The nurse went over everything she told me I will be walking around and doing pt in the after noon sounds like it is an all day thing. I also will be having a nurse to the house to check on me . She also told me there will be no stiches to be removed I guess they use glue I do feel a little better knowing everything . But with had a problem sleeping I think because I had so much on my mind

    Good morning.
    Glad you got your tour, Irene. Hope you sleep better tonight. :)
    We've got really hot weather in our forecast too.
    Will be heading to zumba class this morning. My leg is kind of bothering me, but hoping it'll ease up as I start dancing.
    Happy Friday, everyone. :)

    Hi
    I was out walking, 6500 steps. Inside the Living room and outside were both the same temperature when I got going this morning, 79 Degrees and a Humidity reading in the Upper 80s. I turned on the Living Room AC before I left to cool down the house. Today it is supposed to be in the 90s, tomorrow which will be shopping day for Bananas and other fruit while walking should be a little cooler and lower humidity. That is a good thing as I will be wearing the backpack and carrying several pounds of fruit in it. The Bananas from my last trip are coming out of the refrigerator the night before and are good. I know if I had left them on the counter in the fruit dish they would be well over ripe by today, forget how the last one would be tomorrow morning.

    Hi Vix
    That does make it sound as if they ate it. I hope it is not the start of a trend.

    That is a new one on me too. Boxed water, Who knew!

    I liked the humor in the Frank & Stein too.

    I hope Your leg loosens up properly too. I was out the door this morning at 5:45 and I still managed to work up a light sweat. The people I talked to while walking all commented on the heat and humidity. Saturday should be better according to the weather forecast I saw before I headed out the door. I was not happy that it was as warm out as inside.

    Have a Good Day

    Hi Irene
    You are ahead of me in steps and money found today.

    I hope You are feeling better about the surgery after Your tour, No stitches sounds good to me. OTOH I was wondering if that means this
    http://science.howstuffworks.com/innovation/everyday-innovations/question611.htm
    "For centuries, dentists and oral surgeons, plastic surgeons, obstetricians, urologists and even veterinarians have used stitches to close up gashes, cuts and surgical incisions. Now, many physicians are using some form of dissolvable stitches (also called absorbable sutures). The great thing about dissolvable stitches is that they can be used on internal or external wounds."

    I was not happy with the weather this morning either and I see Your area is under a Extreme Heat Warning too.

    I have that problem with sleeping too, sometimes my mind is just busy churning over a problem looking for a solution to something.

    Stay Cool

    Good afternoon
    Roger-I have never seen water in a box either. When you started to talk about how many steps you did today, I realized that I didn't put my fit bit on. I went grocery shopping and lost all those steps. :'( Is the picture of the sidewalk on your morning walking route?
    Irene-I hope you sleep better tonight.
    Vix-I hope your leg feels better.
    I worked overnight last night and plan to do the same tonight. On Friday and Saturday it is so busy that I think I actually like working the overnight all by myself. I can get more done.
    Have a great evening. :)

    Hi Irene
    If I had not been there and seen it on the shelf I would have thought it was a gag picture. It is a first for me too. It is in the category of why did they do that. The only thing I can think of that the plan is for the long run to switch to that from bottles.

    Cheers

    Hi Joanne
    I did a whole mornings walk when I realized the FitBit was still home so welcome to the club :)

    That is a sidewalk on one of the routes I take, I have several different routes just to break up the monotony, On the plus side most of that route has sidewalks unlike some of them where 1/2 the route I'm in the road. A side road with not to much traffic but still I do need to keep and ear for cars on those roads.

    I liked working overnights for a different reason, no Bosses around and as long as the work was done, no problems either.

    Have a nice evening working

    I used to get in early in the morning....because no one was there and I could get work done. :)
    The cartons are probably better for the environment, biodegradable. It might be a great idea.
    Irene, getting cleaning help was one of the best things I've done for myself. Once a month the house gets a good thorough cleaning, and I just have to do light maintenance in between...it takes a lot of stress off of me.
    The dancing was good this morning....and I had a massage this afternoon, so I'm feeling a little better. Back to having pains here and there with no rhyme or reason....other than fibro and arthritis. It will be easier next week when I can take Nsaids again if I need to.
    Have a good night, everyone. :)

    Hi
    It was slightly better out when I left to walk despite going out the door somewhat later than the last two days + 6200 steps. I left somewhat later due to planning to stop at the Supermarket AKA Grocery Store for Fruits.

    I picked up five Bananas one of which I left out for tomorrow and the other ones went in the Refrigerator along with four Red Delicious Apples at 79 Cents a pound, 2 Green Pears, and two Navel Oranges and what they charge as Mexican Bread which can actually be large Sugared Donuts, Different Colored Sweet breads or some flakey Pastries which is what I picked with a lemon looking fruit filling to be my Afternoon Snack.

    Have a Great Weekend

    Hi Vix
    TBH I am not sure how Biodegradable those cartons are nor the ones milk and cream come in. I believe they have a Plastic coating on the inside. OK I looked and I see this from here.
    http://www.slate.com/articles/health_and_science/the_green_lantern/2011/03/disoriented_in_the_dairy_aisle.html
    A second kind of milk container—the gable-top carton—is made from paperboard and coated with a layer of low-density polyethylene. Like the plastic bottle, gable-top cartons are made from virgin materials. Recycled paper isn't as strong as the stuff straight from the trees, so a recycled container capable of carrying that much milk would have to be much thicker, heavier, and more expensive.

    Paperboard is made of trees, a renewable resource, which is good. And they're only 1 ounce (25 percent) heavier than plastic bottles. But the environmental positives end there. Making paper is a resource-intensive process, requiring huge amounts of water, fossil fuels, and chemical bleaches

    Plus I know the plastic water bottles are recycled here in town anyway. Despite the recycled plastic not being allowed in anything we eat or drink.

    My Brother used to go in to work early so it was cooler and he could get out earlier thus beating the traffic both ways.

    Good Luck with the Pain Management

    Good morning!
    I didn't realize they used plastic in paper cartons. oh, well.
    Will need to check my clothes for my trip today, and get everything ready (may have to shorten some pants to wear with lower heels). No other plans really. Just want to check a few more things out online.
    Have a great weekend everyone. :)

    Hi Vix
    Where I am I would have to check to see if that sort of packaging is recyclable, I know that All plastic food items are such as the Water Bottle, and the Trays some of the NS entrees come in.

    However I am seeing more and more of the NS Dinner entrees come in Pouches. I should mention I am not real happy with that change although I am sure it helping them keep costs down which the rising prices of everything must be affecting. The pouches are not marked as recyclable.

    Any tips, I have never tried shortening pants but I have some that I need to do that to.

    Thank You
    Roger

    Good evening;
    I found a nickel today in of all places, my back yard. I was over by the shed and looked down and there it was.
    Vix-When do you leave on your trip?
    Irene-it sounds like you are all set for your surgery. It is always good when you sleep well. :)
    Roger-I know here in Ma we can't recycle anything that has a waxy coating on it. I am not sure of the reason.
    I actually like working at night, no bosses and I have the place all to myself. I work better when it is quiet and I can just focus on the job and not a lot of drama.
    My son and daughter-in-law had a great time in Berlin. They said at first the language barrier was an issue, but as the week went on it got easier. Now it is back to reality.
    Have a great evening. :)

    I Agree, Not nice out there this morning, You did better at finding money than I did :)
    Tomorrow is another day and hopefully a better day too.

    I suspect You are right about the reason for sleeping well

    I have done something similar with money laying along the edge of the driveway in the past.

    My suspicion is that the waxy coating interferes with turning the cardboard with a waxy coating back into a slurry and also keeps things from binding properly.

    I guess You were so happy they were not in France or Germany. It is a shame that one person can do that much damage. It is just part of a attack on Tourist part of the French Economy IMO.

    Have a Nice Evening

    Hi
    It was a little better out when I left to as I was up early for my walk + 4800 steps.
    The temperature dropped all the way to 75 degrees by 5AM :( Which is why When I woke up and looked at the Time and Temperature on the alarm clock I decided to go out earlier than yesterday.

    So far today is shaping up to be a lazy Sunday too. I Had 2/3s of my Banana on the way out the door, the other third is sitting in the measuring glass, a small Pyrex measuring glass that goes up to 5 ounces of liquid. I finished my first pass through the Hot Breakfasts from the recent NS Delivery yesterday so today I open the quart of milk I put in the refrigerator to chill and have 4 ounces on cereal with sweetener and the balance of the Banana sliced into it and I had the Protein shake that is the final component of my breakfast when I returned Home. The cereal will most likely be at 9AM and a Noon snack followed at 2:30 by a Lean Pocket Hot Melt of some kind. I am working them in as a part of my lunch plan. NS Snack at 5PM and Dinner at 7:30 and a Dessert around 9PM. That's the plan anyway :)

    Have a Great Sunday

    My daughter and I went to the farmers market today. I bought some fresh cut lavender. It smells so good.
    I also bought a bottle of pure maple water. It is new on the market. It is straight from the tree.
    Other than that we just walked around and had an enjoyable day.

  • Joanne3366
    Joanne3366 Posts: 2,141 Member
    Good morning;
    Irene-the maple water is not sweet. It has a slight maple taste. The are 30 calories per 12 oz. bottle, so it is probably not something you would want to drink all the time. It has 4% calcium,7 grams of sugar and 50% manganese. It is organic and nothing is added to it.
    I have 3,800 steps so far this morning and that is just walking around the house and doing an hour of gardening.
    It is going to be another hot one today. I am going to the mall to walk around in the ac and window shop.
    Yesterday I found a penny. Today I found $20.50 while I was doing the wash. :) I left it in my pocket when I went to the farmer's market yesterday. I thought I had spent all the money I brought with me, so it was a nice surprise.
    Have a great day! :)

    Hi
    I got out walking + 5500 steps. I was running late with the start time as I must have been tired and got up late. I do not bother with an alarm clock these days :) The temperature out the door was OK at 74 degrees, according the weather forecast the humidity is high in this area and I can believe it. When I was in the Sunlight I could feel the heat from the sun. Later this week I do need to run to CostCo for several things. On my shopping list is Kleenex, TP, 3 or four bags of frozen veges as I have 2.5 days of veges left in the freezer, Maybe fruit depending on how it looks and price, a 18 pack Light & Fit Greek Yogurt etc.

    Have a Good Monday

    Hi Irene
    Congratulations on getting out there early enough to get a decent step count finished.

    I have no plans at all for today :)

    You are also ahead of me on the found money count, All I found was a beat up Chuckie Cheese token whatever they are used for, I have never been there so I do not know. That makes three I have found here and there in the last year of walking.

    Have a Good Week

    Hi Joanne
    I never heard of Maple water, What would You use it for, cooking?

    I agree the local cable news channel, News12, showed a high of 96 today and the morning news from NYC showed a high of 94 in their forecast, Yuck.

    Yea for not spending all the money. I bet the Bills came out nice and clean and crispy. I say that having washed them in the past.

    Have a Enjoyable Week

    Hi
    I was out walking 6700 steps and no money. Tomorrow I will most likely stop at the Grocery Store while walking for Bananas and maybe a head of lettuce. Then a little later on to CostCo.
    Once again it was 76 degrees when I left the house at 6:25 and feeling a little warm on the return to the house leg.

    Yesterday Other parts of the state had some storm damage from winds, some near us. As usual it seemed to avoid our town :)

    In the afternoon we had a period where we could hear Thunder in the distance and the skies opened up for a period and then it was done and the street was dry by 7PM. It came down so hard it overwhelmed the gutters running off of the roof.

    Have a Nice Tuesday
    Roger

    Hi Irene
    I see I'm not the only one that is hearing about something new :)

    Did You get rain in Your area too? It seemed as if it went more North and East of me.

    Congratulations on Getting Your Walk Done
    Roger
