OK! Made it to the end...
gonna watch a few minutes of the news, get out of the house to pick up a very few groceries. Can't be an effective Vegan if you don't have any greens in the house!

Roger did you read thru the articles you posted? The one about Mumps ? in particular? If you read about 2/3rds of the way thru the article it talks about the risks associated with Mumps...and the last one mentioned is deafness. I haven't heard a word from Marietta in a week, and it was then that she said her hearing was getting worse again in that ear not better as tested had shown...she hosted a 'Tea Party' for her little great nieces while in Texas, and flew to and from Texas...no doubt there was at least a child or two on board. Certainly not definitive evidence, but a new angle to consider.....

Yes Roger, standing at the door and tapping my foot would be for my benefit...Cat doesn't really give a darn!

Ed, wine seems to be taking a beating just like coffee has over the past 30 years than I can recall. Coffee/caffeine has gone from 'evil' to 'great' .....cancer causing to protective via all the phytonutrients it has....

The really scary article is from England where the article states that Dementia is the Number One Killer in Britain, surpassing heart disease....
Good thing we had Emmy's Slice and Dice Demo, and all the cartoons to off set the other 'news'. (for the record, I did not have a Slice and Dice!) I did on the other hand buy a dicer thing about 3 years ago, and every time Emmy had to stand on her step stool, I had to laugh and remember mine..the diced material fell into a plastic or glass container so it was neat, BUT, I could not for the life of me get it to actually close, thereby dicing what ever I'd put into it. So I set the darned thing on the floor and stomped on it...that worked, but who wants to eat food that you've pretty much stepped on???? It went straight to trash.

Heading for Kroger and Walmart...(need a new set of 'sweats' for the winter...and of course Cat Food.... Kroger will have my greens and a sweet potato, and some banana's, etc.

Later...

Good Morning Everybody!
Rainy day...and none too warm or bright either! This may be a nap kinda day? Nearly 10a.m. and my major accomplishments so far are pathetic...unloaded dishwasher, microwaved and am eating a nice big sweet potato to go along with my morning banana. WOW! Who's impressed??
LOL!!
Later today I'll push the trash out to be picked up in the morning, Take myself to Sweet Tomatoes (salad bar place, with a soup bar, a small side bar of pasta and/or pasta-ish dishes, a small offering of fresh fruit, and some other stuff, and soft serve ice cream...( you get to see a lot of littles, faces beaming, ever so carefully carrying their dish of delight back to the table!
(That's near Gwinnett Place Mall..Ring Road surrounds the mall, and Sweet Tomatoes is on Ring Road. Its my old go to, for lunch. If you don't already have it, you might want to download Happy Cow to your phone...you can find other Veg/Vegan places to eat.
And after eating I'll go watch O do her gymnastics practice.
(the longish description of SW was for Ahren's benefit. Being Vegan is not always easy...Also there are Indian and Hispanic places around. I find it easier to eat at ethnic places than 'American' restaurants

I agree, Roger...the Kroger article that Ed posted is very interesting...I really can't imagine why they want to get into clothing??? Granted retail has a really sweet markup...but I'd rather not buy my clothes at Kroger!! I knew about their other stores, or at least a few of them, but that list of Kroger by another name is L O N G!!!!
I think I'm still a bit miffed at Kroger for taking away my Senior Discount...and I know I'm not alone on that score.

The video Ed posted about McD's french fries is very interesting and telling at the same time. I knew FF's were given a coating of sugar...and some fast foods also use milk on their fries..ugh, but they McD's were right up front about the entire process. I saw the video about their chicken nuggets, was afraid to watch it! Does anyone else remember when in maybe the 70's the rumor went around saying that Wendy's burgers were made from worms??!! I don't know what other fast food chain started that, but for awhile it surely set Wendy' back.

My fav. cartoons this morning Roger was the dog with that 'Waiting for dinner' look! She's too cute not to feed! I mean who could resist that look??? And I can relate to the happy LITTLE car, and the Semi. My Fit is pretty small, and the Fiat that I had in the 80's was even smaller. When I worked at a hospital in IL, I'd take the interstate to work, and if I looked out my window I was about the height of the semi's wheel wells!! That's little! I loved that crazy little Italian car...gave him 6 good Italian names for heritage sake!

Ok, back to the original issue....to nap, or not to nap????

Later...
