    I just posted more humor

    Hi
    I'm back home from walking and no money was found. The Temperature out the door was 26 degrees. I am not liking the forecast for later today and Friday. Rain is supposed to move in this afternoon and be heavy through tomorrow and linger into early Saturday. Hopefully that forecast which I saw yesterday is wrong and the rain is not as bad as forecast.

    Good luck with the plumber, Jan...no hot water is a bummer. Stay warm, Roger! Em has recovered all of her grades to As & Bs and one C....and she still has today. I have all four remaining puppies. The new foster is unclear whether she wants the two or not. I’m going to the office this afternoon for the Christmas party and to work.
    Hi Val
    Good News that Em has recovered the grades after being ill.

    I never worried about the Christmas parties in the past, Back then I did not worry about what I ate like I do now :blush:

    I hope things go well with the New Fosterer (Spelling ?)
    I got my Christmas wish...starting 1/1, i have a new boss...the guy that i had asked if he would be my boss. 🎉🎊🎈plus Lulu Puppy got adopted, so only three left.
    Congratulations on the New Boss, I know You are really happy about that not to mention the puppy that got adopted.
    Congratulations Jan on your 2-pound loss!!! I ate everything at yesterday’s work holiday party. I’m so tired and have so much work to do.
    I know what You mean, I have a hard time resisting temptation so I try to steer clear of any location that might trigger it. I know that eating wrong makes me tired too.

    My next NS order has been moved up since I called Yesterday and asked about saving some money and they took $50 off of the upcoming order, that meant that it had to be moved up to Jan 15th. I will need to adjust the order and be sure there is enough room in the freezer, That means eat the Bigger Dinner Entrees first for example. The Frozen Pizzas are the second smallest with the stuffed Chicken Breast dinners being the smallest. I may have to cut back on the frozen Snacks, I will have to see how the freezer looks next year as I near the 15th. I think for the following order I will inquire about switching to the Weekends on Your own as long as I can switch back in the future and keep my Discounts, That's for next year however.

    Have a Good Day
    Roger

    Hi Jan
    Normally a tripped Breaker used to mean that it was 100% that You had an electric water heater. Now it may not as the newer High efficiency gas water heaters and furnaces have a Fan on them that is used to push the fumes form the combustion out the Exhaust pipe and if it does not run neither will the water heater as a safety item. I know of someone that lost hot water when the Blower motor went bad. I think I will stay with a slightly higher gas bill and not need electric to the water heater.

    The Third type of Water Heater that needs electric to them are the tank less ones that only turn on the flame when their is water flowing through them then they can supply unlimited hot water as it is heated on demand.

    Congratulations on a easy repair and the weight Loss, Whee !

    I love the glitter bomb sting. People that steal deserve worse, but at least this annoys them! I’d like to live in a noise-canceling house! With three pups, we don’t want to split them up unless someone wants to adopt or foster-to-adopt. The lady asked how the were, but said nothing about wanting them. I adore them, so they’re fine.

    Good morning!!

    It is wet, wet, wet here! Guess we got the rain from Texas!! :)

    I loved the glitter bomb too!! It was just ingenious how they tackled that problem! Maybe the gov't. should hire them, lol..

    Roger, did you walk in all that rain? Those were interesting posts about W. Virginia and the vanishing jobs in particular. I really dislike that that ex marlins guy. Hope he goes to jail for something... :# I hate even worse he influences people and he is such an undeserving jerk... :s Did not know that about Saturn's rings..and guess I did not know about the outer planets having them once!! Cool!!

    I guess Friday Jenny and I will be going to replace her tires on her car. She had a flat but her boys at school changed it to her donut so she could get somewhere to buy a replacement. Bummer, Merry Christmas to her....she was hoping to replace them after Christmas..but better safe than sorry. I have a few things to wrap, but basically done. I will have to get out for shopping for church, and then for Monday when we have our family Christmas.

    Val, so glad about your new boss.. that seems like a Christmas miracle!! Glad about the pups too!! <3

    Be safe all!! ...Jan

    Hi
    I'm back home from walking and no money was found. The Temperature out the door was 58 degrees and 60 degrees on my return. The rain in the forecast arrived on schedule and was falling at a moderate rate while I was walking. So far so good with the wind gusts predicted for later today with gusts in the 50MPH range.

    Em got her grades up to mostly As and two Bs! Today is a 1/2 day for her, then winter break. Tomorrow, my friend Maggie is taking Em and me to a live theatre play of Charli Brown’s Christmas. Then Sunday, we’re taking the pups in a stroller to a nice boardwalk were Simon got adopted. Plus I have to work both mornings. FitBit says I slept well, but I feel so tired. Happy Friday!

    Hi Val
    The Noise Canceling Dog House is a good Idea I know lots of people that have dogs the freak out from Fireworks, Hopefull it is available soon.

    Good Luck, She may be taking her time thinking about taking one or more of the Puppies.

    There is not to much that shouldn't be done to crooks IMO. Especially here in the Metro New York Area. They use Violence in so many robberies seemingly for the heck of it. Sad Example here.

    Hi Jan
    In order ? It seems that the Rain extends from the Gulf of Mexico to the Great lakes over the entire eastern seaboard and inland for a way too.

    I loved that Glitter bomb too, Nothing is to bad for crooks. It is a shame You can't get dye packs like they use at banks in case of robberies, A Dye Pack marked crook would be out of action for a while if nothing else.

    I agree, what a jerk. Saturn's rings, Who knew. I did not know that about the other planets either, Live and learn.

    Were the tires getting worn down to where they needed replacing ? The flat was not repairable, Many are especially if they go flat while the car is sitting. CostCo if You can get them are low priced for good tires.

    Two more to wrap, once they are delivered, One today, one Monday :wink:

    I like that phrase, Christmas Miracle.

    Have a Nice Day, Stay Warm and Dry

    Good morning!!

    It is hard to dress correctly when we are having these weird temperature fluctuations! I feel your pain walking in the wind!!

    My day should have been restful. Not so, lol.. My daughter had a half day, then Christmas break. We went out to eat and celebrate. The lady from church I help sometimes got a check from someone anonymous from church so she could buy some Christmas for her grand kids. Since the elder did not know the kids sizes, they had me handle the shopping trip. She has really spinning some tales this week though she did get herself to work, telling me she took a taxi 3 times and paid a man $40 dollars (later it was 30 dollars?) to get her places. She managed to meet me for the check, but wanted to shop in Birmingham where she was going for Christmas. ( the shopping is better there and she knew what she wanted, though getting a ride there from the son who beats her up.. though I get the part the grand kids are there too.) I told her I had to have receipts as she was not shopping with me..(like it was supposed to be..) . I offered to take her to cash the check..but she had more running to do. Okay, not perfect but she has done what she should in the past for me. Jenny and I drove the 20 some miles towards home, got gas, and planned to get coffee and hit the grocery, and we get this frantic call from this lady. The guy driving her left her at the easy money check cashing place, which I have told her not to use, plus they will not cash her check. She is crying and carrying on. So, we tell her we are coming. She calls to say she is back with this guy and he will not let her out of the truck..She is absolutely hysterical. I am screaming at her to shut up..and let me talk to the guy. In the midst of this..he must have stopped and she was out. Finally some sweet lady gets on and tells me where they are, and she is safe, but she could not stay. I thanked her and found the place and got the friend. I guess this guy was someone someone else knew she knew..I am wondering if he was waiting to pick her up again after she cashed the check just to demand more money..or just rob her. We cashed the check and dropped her off home. She is on the phone making plans to defrost meat to put on her neighbor's grill. She does not even know if she is leaving or not..We just let her go. I have no doubt she will have receipts for toys and I am assuming she will get to relative for Christmas. But I am kind of done with her poor choices. I told her the check needed to be cashed at Walmart, with her ID the day before, or we needed to go to the bank from which the money came from..and I would do that. So why do what she did. She has also gone thru the money she had for her license on Monday, not real sure how it disappeared, though I can see how part was used for this guy and taxi. But I told her I would take her these places..just get to work in the morning..which was only 3 days.( and wasn't he taking her? She is a drama with no end..and really seems to want to change, but incapable of it and putting the work into the right things. Kind of at an end with her now except for advice..that she will not use.. people... :s

    That was my day and a downer to the end of the start of Christmas break, lol... :#
    I came back and it took me a while to settle...totally waited till too late to post!!

    The articles were really interesting again!! I found the stats for Calif. and Texas surprising though..I am guessing migrants, illegals maybe bringing down the stats. I do tend to think of those two states as wealthy and educated. Though obviously not everyone..Sounds like no middle class there either. Just rich, destitute, and a middle class constantly becoming poorer. Those thieves could have used the toilet at least. People scare me.... I would assume that a typed program that randomly comes to the house would be one I would ignore in the gov't experiment.. should at least need to go to an official agency in person for the sign up at first. We are really becoming a too large and dumber society for much to go right nowadays..

    Sorry for the downer post!! I plan to stay home and interact as little as possible for the holiday, lol...

    Take care all!!! ...Jan o:)

Simon’s family is considering returning him. When the kids are running around, Simon cries in fear. They had had no human contact for the first 8 weeks of their lives, then bounced around with different environments...I only had Simon a couple days before adoption....he was perfect here, but i saw that screaming thing when i got the girls. We told the family what the girls need to do to help him. They’re going to try.

    Hi Jan
    Yikes what a day, I feel sorry for You being involved, You have a Kind heart. Some people just cam not be helped due to being incapable of changing.

    I agree the wild temperature changes make dressing properly hard, especially the days where the High is at midnight and dropping all day.

    I was sort of not surprised that the hugely liberal states scored so bad. The NYC mayor wants to take the performing schools and force them to take 20% of the school admissions whether they meet the standards for that school or not. Another dumbing down of The Nation, What a Moron.
    https://www.nytimes.com/2018/06/02/nyregion/de-blasio-new-york-schools.html
    De Blasio Proposes Changes to New York’s Elite High Schools

    Beginning in the fall of 2019, the city would set aside 20 percent of seats in each specialized school for low-income students who score just below the cutoff

    Currently, poor students with certain scores from all over the city qualify, but under the new plan, the city would target students from high-poverty schools instead.

    Cheer Up and have a Good Day

    Hi Val
    IMO, two things were at work there, a Lack of Empathy and a lack of courtesy towards other, As You have mentioned earlier no one wants to discipline their offspring :(
    Happy Sunday. I’m not feeling so good. Dizzy. Hopefully getting some rest will help. Puppies: Theodore’s family is beyond smitten with the little dude and they’re doing great. Simon’s family is considering returning him. When the kids are running around, Simon cries in fear. They had had no human contact for the first 8 weeks of their lives, then bounced around with different environments...I only had Simon a couple days before adoption....he was perfect here, but i saw that screaming thing when i got the girls. We told the family what the girls need to do to help him. They’re going to try.
    Just as I was thinking of opening this thread I saw that You had posted so I waited to be sure You were done :wink:

    Ouch, feeling Dizzy is not good, I hope that clears up, I need to take an aspirin when I eat Breakfast, My Knees were complaining this morning, I'm not taking them on a empty stomach however.

    Good Luck with Simon, He may need a family that has older kids or ?

    Have a Nice Day

    Good morning!!

    Yikes, what mornings we are having!! I skipped the church breakfast to sleep more, but got there to put the communion where it needed to be and do some dishes. That seemed a good swap to me, lol!! Really nice service, the best being plunged in darkness, and all of us lighting each others little candles, pretty special.. :)

    Monday we go to my son's for Xmas, dinner and presents and cookie making. I expect us all to be pooped. Tuesday I am watching Hallmark Movies and Christmas movies with May May all day..and not doing a thing except eat stuffed cabbage and keto mashed potatoes,,the good ones and celebrating Peace. lol...

    Val, I so empathize with you!! I hope you feel better, especially for Christmas!! Hopefully Simon's family will be patient, It is hard if you are not too familiar with dogs and of course depending on the pup. Hope it works out. Glad Theo is settling in with his family. My daughter came down with her Christmas cold- right in time for Christmas..and she can not taste a thing and feels less than great today. Luckily, Friday and today was her "worser days!"..Murphy's law!!!! :#

    Roger, sorry for the cold!! Hardly anyone is having a white Christmas..we can not swim.. but we are warm, lol!!

    Loved about Uranus..really interesting!!

    I do need to wrap some, but only about 5 things..could be worse!!

    Have a great Christmas Eve! <3 Take care!! ...Jan
