Good Morning, Opening for another week.
Good morning ladies,
Thanks for opening, Alabama.
I got up to 65 degree temperatures this morning, we hit 80 yesterday. Now the kicker, snow tomorrow night. That just doesn't seem right.
Not much to report from here. Plan to work outside today until the rain arrives. DD is going for yet another test today. It's supposed to be painful but she insists on going by herself. Still no idea what is going on with her. It's been 6 and a half months still and no answers. I am still doing the elimination diet but very unhappy with the scale. I regained 4 of the 14 pounds that I lost in less than a week. Swelling in my feet, legs and hands so hopefully it is just fluid and will go away again. The second phase of the diet is much harder than the first. So many things have more than one of the eliminated foods in them and it's hard to figure what is it that my body doesn't tolerate. Still keeping a food log in hopes of seeing a pattern.
Guess that's it from here. Gonna go get dressed and get a couple of hours of yard work in before DH comes to life.
Have a good day. BBL
It's was a beautiful weekend here also but they are calling for some colder Temps .
Not much planned today. I need to get back to the spring cleaning. I still have the kitchen cabinets to do . Won't take long if I would just start. It's hard to me anyway when DH is home to get anything done and he is home most of the time. Usually he is gone for a while in the evening but by then I am too tired to do anything .
Eye doctor tomorrow so won't accomplished anything then as he will dilate my eyes and that will last most of the day.
That's about it here in Bama land .
I fixed a smoothie today that I saw on line. Didn't like it but drank it all. Ended up being around 400 calories so I will have to be careful the rest of the day as I am trying to stay at 1200 or so .
So question for you all. What do you do with all those little slivers of soap? When they get to a certain size DH won't use them I do but I wondering if they can be melted down maybe in a double boiler . Anyone ever try this?
Have fun outside , Di. It looks like rain here and my head feels like it too.
Good Morning. Well, school has been cancelled anyway here! Wow, lots of snow out there! Didn't really think it would come this bad. Heard Dh say that he was bringing neighbor to hospital as he's not feeling good, and he was waiting for plow to go through though. I wondered, plow? what for but I see now! Deck was down to nothing and has at least 5-6 inches on it already and its snowing hard yet. And of course, No grass or road showing now again At least Dh took neighbor's all wheel drive car. He was crabbing a bit how he seems to be the one to watch all the houses, bring people to Dr's etc. I told him, maybe if you had a part time easy job, they wouldn't think you were so available And you would get paid also. Just can't believe the snow
Thanks for opening Bama and I don't like doing anything when Dh is around and he isn't very much but pops in and out. I don't have the room for anyone to pop in when I have all out in middle of trail here Very small quarters here. I've heard of people melting down soap but I would google it and see if any easier ways of doing it. I use body wash soap mostly, but Dh uses the Dove sensitive soap only, so when they get smaller, we put them on sink then for anyone to use for hands. Then, we throw away.
Di, hopefully you wouldn't get the snow there. We had up to 50 here and now this and its 23 degree's now with north wind. I know CO. had a storm going in places so thats probably what comes across your way? Hope your DD gets a answer soon and easy to treat it also! Enjoy your morning outside Thought I'd be having coffee outside on deck by now
Everyone, HI, and hope your Monday is bright and sunny! BBL, Yah
Morning, everyone,
Bama, I usually just try to stick the sliver to the new bar, but I have made liquid soap out them--I just put them in a jar with some water and stuck it in the cupboard for awhile. Heating it would probably work better and faster.
Dianna, I feel the same about the elimination--some days I think I should just stick to the 21 day plan forever. It's easier than trying to not combine two or more iffy foods. I did tell myself last night that I would start a food journal in May. I hope your DD either feels better or at least finds out what is wrong very quickly. She is in my prayers.
YAH, staying away from the neighbor sounds like a good plan--she sounds like a wing nut for sure. That would kind of creep you out, wouldn't it? To think she was dead and then have her wake up. Yikes. Oh, my goodness--all that snow again!? We have it in the forecast, but I'm sure it won't be more than a dusting. Sending hugs and warm thoughts your way!
Barb, holy moly on the Gooseberry Falls video! I'll be in MN from the 22nd to the 27th.
Sue, sounds like our sayings are exactly the same! I watched Parts 3 and 4 last night and enjoyed the trip.
How did your weekend go, Angii?
I picked a few daffodils this morning. There aren't a ton blooming yet, but I see them more in the vase than left out in the yard anyway.
Have a great Monday, everyone~
Morning ladies,
Angii, hope all is well at your place and your party went well this weekend.
Glad you had a "me day" Barb, just sorry isn't wasn't more pleasant with dreary weather and no energy. Hope the sun shines soon and the snow leaves for the year. I will check out the video later, but we have some beautiful run off at Yosemite here and they have been showing it on our local news, just gorgeous. A solo trip healthy sound good Barb, but I agree I'd want someone with me when I had oral surgery, especially since they usually knock you out!
Wow YAH one big ore boat is right. Glad you got some laundry done and got some rest too. Hope no calls today.
Holy crow how scary they thought she was dead and just knocked out. Whenever you get to watch them I hope you enjoy them, YAH.
Thanks for the start Bama.
Dianna, I know so sad, been there, done that and that's why I am in California and not still in Western NY. HUGS to you. Enjoy the outdoors today before the rain. My heart goes out to your DD on the tests.
Oh Dianna, it will go away. I am amazed as I am way down again with going off that BP med that swelled up my feet and legs like Shrek....so yes it makes a world in difference in weight.
Bama, tip on the hubby, just go in and do it and IGNORE HIM...that's what I do.
Good luck at eye doctor, I have to go there too. So many doctors, so many appointments....HATE THEM.
Oh I use the slivers till they melt in my hand Bama. I put it next to the new bar of soap in the soap dish till it's all done no more. But my hubby will use them too.
Oh YAH I love the graphic and I borrowed it, hope you don't mind. Oh no on the snow. Hope neighbor is alright.
I see you do the same with the slivers, Molasses and glad you enjoyed parts 3 and 4...parts 5 and 6 are coming up LOL
Hello again I am on Break so thought I would drop in. LOL . I am almost done with one side of cabinets in the Kitchen My save the other for tomorrow. Bending up and down is not fun for these old knees.
Thanks on the slivers of soap I just thought of melting them down and then putting them in a soap dish to harden . Probable easier to just toss . Maybe one day I will feel like doing it.
Well time to fix Dh some lunch and then back to my cleaning.
I had another sliver of soap idea for you, Bama. You can use a washcloth to sew up a little envelope and then put the soap in there to use in the shower. I made one for a regular bar of soap, but because the soap didn't dry out, it got all oozy and didn't last. If you just used the little pieces of soap though, that would probably be perfect.
Bama, glad you hear you are taking a break from the cabinets.
Molasses, I do that with the Dial soap as hubby uses the soap to wash and when it gets to a certain size it will just break. So I take them and since I use a wash cloth put them in the wash cloth and use them in the shower....WASTE NOT WANT NOT! LOL
But yeah once I am done if there is any left I take them out and put them in the soap dish and let them dry before putting them back in the Dial wrapper for next time. LOL
Well I am off to lunch,
Good afternoon,
I am one tired puppy. I started raking at 6:30 this morning, put about 4 hours in then went out after lunch and spent the whole afternoon pulling maple seedling out of the back bank. It was almost solid with them. I thought it was going pretty good until I discovered there were several layers of them. I told DH I am going to need a pain pill tonight and he said, well you don't have to do everything in one day and he'd have just buried the sprouted maple seeds with mulch and said good enough. We were just on different pages today. He had paper work to do and I wanted to get yard work done before it rains and gets cold again.
Uses for soap slivers:
I think you can see the poor robin in there? Some of the snow when it just started in work town Poor bird! We thought this was suppose to be all east of us but I guess they got it wrong again Its been on and off today so far and deep enough on deck since it slid off the metal roof also.
Dh was gone until 3 pm. Neighbor, which I'll just put down N.N., had to have a cat scan after his x-rays as they thought he had a mass on one lung, but some fluid in other, but no bad mass I guess. But had to have IV for some antibiotic, which he became allergic to, so they had to flush that out and try some other kind which takes about 2 hrs. to get done even, besides all the other waiting around. They left around 8 a.m so was a long day for Dh although I told him, well you had a nice place to sit and people watch Course he went out to car to smoke also. So I guess tomorrow the N.N. has to go to his own Dr. now. I think he's driving himself, not sure.
Mo, those daffodils sound great! That's also what I remember about slivers of soap, put in one of those pocket things as they even make them for soap but a bunch of them would be the same. My aunt used to use very hot water for some laundry and put them in there to. I use cold water as don't care for the hot water here
Sue, watched one of them and will watch another, or two of them today. Enjoy them very much as I will not travel. Hoping your weather cooled off some from 90's but not as bad as our's cooled off I am Still seeing snow flakes so I guess it continues. Very depressing and I am trying to not let it affect me though. Got to get garbage together for tomorrow and some more clothes bags. I should get mad enough and throw everything in! Enjoy your day!
Barb, just wanted to say I Loved your video and watched it twice and emailed it to myself and my sisters Told them to meditate while watching it or close their eyes if they want and let it relax them Just love the sound of the rushing fall's and wow the ice chunks are really going down also! I wish I was close to one to see all that but they might have had the ice leave go already, not sure.
Well, C U later, Yah
Hi ladies,
Barb, loved the video. I am with YAH, very relaxing and I closed my eyes too.
Dianna, in addition to the pill tonight you will certainly sleep well too. Wow that is a lot of work.
Ah poor robin, YAH. Holy cow on N.N. and your hubby too. Glad you enjoyed the videos. We are very glad we took the time back then to make it a trip to remember as we couldn't do it today, so one smart thing we did over the years LOL
Nope, the a/c is on today and we are headed to 88 today. Boo hiss!
Now now those clothes could help out someone else, so donating them is a good thing.
Well I am off to do some checking,
Just popping in to say Good night and Sue, I did watch all the travel video's and I sure enjoyed going on a trip today! Only way to go for me Thanks so much for sharing them so I could see some places Kind of glad i didn't have to go anywhere today as high of 23 degree's was it and its way down for tonight! Chance of snow every day but looks like Wed. night into Thurs. is More chance of snow. Thats when I have to go work of course. LIke 70 and 90% chance then and only 20's, up to 30's some days this week so a cold week again I guess I didn't hear any red winged blackbirds I guess yet. I should have got that bag of sunflower seeds for the birds to!
Di, you sure should be able to sleep with all that work and the fresh air to Hope you found something to eat today? Dh made cold tuna salad so he can eat that as if I do make the cold stuff, I like to really cut up small the celery etc. in it and I know he was hurrying up there so its his I like the hot stuff with snow around anyway. Had some hot soup so far.
Have a very good evening all! Yah
Hi ladies
Just stopping by for a second. We got some bad news today about Murphy's shoulder. Evidently he has a torn ligament (from some time ago - a month, or several months) and there is some calcification, which is rubbing on the joint. He was still limping and so we made an appointment for Tuesday, then he was way worse so we got him over there this afternoon. The vet is going to talk to one of the other vets (who knows lots on orthopedic issues) and then make some calls to orthopedic vets and get back to us in a few days. We are hoping they can do surgery, since that's the only fix for the problem. Murphy is around 9 1/2 or 10 years old. Anyway, we are just heartbroken, of course. The pain meds seem to be helping, but they are just to make him more comfortable. Anyway, needless to say we won't be going anywhere out of the house together for awhile. It's going to be hard to keep him from wanting to come upstairs to bed. DH is going to sleep on the sofa with him tonight. I think we'll be getting a baby gate and an air mattress tomorrow. Anyway, thanks for your prayers and healing thoughts. I'll keep you posted.
Oh Barb, so sorry to hear about Murphy. Hope you can find a good surgeon for him and all goes well. Sending hugs.
YAH, yuck in all of that snow and cold weather. Hope the roads are okay for you on your work days later this week. I am going to make some soup too today.
Sorry about the bad tasting smoothie, Alabama. I am trying to stay at 1200 calories a day too. I've found if I eat something with sugar in I want to eat non stop so, I am trying not to have any sweeteners. But since anything at isn't homemade seems to have some sort of sweetener that isn't always easy. Good luck at the eye doctor's today.
Molasses, I too think it would be easier to go back on the 1st phase of the diet and stay there. I felt bad for DD yesterday. We were trying to come up with a menu for Easter dinner and every thing she mentioned was a no no for me. I told her not to stress over it, I'll bring a salad or some soup for me. Hoping GS doesn't notice that I forego his B-day cake. We are doing his B-day and Easter together again this year. I was bad last night, I had one on my evenings where I just wanted to eat and I ate come peanuts with dark chocolate chips and some craisins. I wanted more so I hit the shower and went to bed instead of waiting up for DH to get home. My scale is back down two pounds this morning but may go back up if I keep doing things like that.
Thanks for the next set of videos, Sue.
Hope things are going well for you, Angii.
I didn't need a pain pill last night after all. It's been so long since I taken a Vicodin that I forgot I had them until the Sunday when I saw them. Must mean I feel better than I realize. I almost forgot how bad things were last fall when I was dragging my leg and couldn't walk more than a few minutes at a time. Guess it was good that the doctor refused to do the knee replacement after all. Maybe I'll be able to put it off for a few more years if I keep following the elimination diet. My knees were grating, snapping and cracking and my legs were shaking when I was doing the bank yesterday but I am able to move this morning. So that's a big improvement.
DD said her test (EMG Study) wasn't as painful as she expected. No results yet though. She said if it doesn't find anything she'll just have to accept that numbness, tingling, shaking and tiredness is her normal life and learn to live with it.
Raining today, snow tonight, frost tomorrow. Hope all of my plants hold up to this goofy weather. Some don't look too great from the winter as is. Ground covers took the worst beating. My ivy is all brown and I've noticed other's ground covers looking pretty sad as well.
Well guess I'll go start the laundry and clean floors. Going to be an indoor work day.
Have a great day.
Just sitting here waiting to go to the eye Doctor . Won't get much done today .
It's raining here also.
Barb, sorry about Murphy . Hope all goes well with the surgery .
Yah, be careful if you have to get out again. Michigan has way too much snow for me. But then again so does Ohio. It is what it is.
Sue thanks for the next phase of your trip. I will probably watch today.
Mo what are you up to today. When I ask my DD that she tells me 4'11" That's how tall she it. So Silly.
I did fix a smoothie today much better . almond milk , apple , Greek yogurt protein powder and 1 tbls of PB 2. Very good . I made enough for my snack tonite. Usually DH will drink half of it but he didn't want any today. Di my problem is the evening also . I think I blew it yesterday . I am really trying very hard to write down what I eat and calories. Yesterday was the first that I lost control.
Probably no cleaning today altho while sitting here I see that I need to take the registers out of the ceiling as they need cleaned. So may do that .
Happy Day everyone.
Oh YAH I love the good night graphic and glad you enjoyed the travel videos. Glad you were nice and comfy at home too. Hope you slept well.
Barb, my prayers for Murphy and all of you....my heart goes out to all of you. As Murphy is Buddy's age....glad the pain meds are helping. Know I will do some extra special prayers in addition to the ones I normally do.
Dianna, your welcome on the videos, glad you didn't need a pain pill and the test weren't that bad for you DD. I see you have indoor chores to keep you busy.
Bama, good luck at the eye doctor today. And your welcome on the trip videos...
A happy day to all, we are shopping today,
Good luck with your shopping trip, Sue--hope it's a good ride and bargain-filled day!
I guess I'm up to 5'5" then, Bama! It's a rainy day, so I'm working on my inside list. I got in a seed order yesterday so am busy making pots and starting seeds. That sounds like a good smoothie (although I thought yesterday's sounded good, too, so I guess you never know till you try it!). Good luck at the eye dr today.
Glad your DD's test wasn't too bad, Dianna, and hoping she doesn't have to live with those symptoms. Maybe a naturopathic dr could help if she can't get any answers. Yay on not needing the pain pill. That's a good sign.
((((Barb))),) sending prayers and healing thoughts to Murphy, and lots of hugs to his worried parents. I hope surgery is an option.
Hope your bed was comfy and dreams sweet, too, YAH. Cute graphic there! Hope you are staying warm and cozy in that weather.
All the soap talk yesterday made me think of Fuzzy Wuzzy soap--do you remember that? Little bear-shaped soap that would grow "fur" as it dried? I had a bar once when I was a kid and got the biggest kick out of it.
Sounds like my washer is done so I'd better go take care of that. Not a hang-out day, unfortunately!
Happy Tuesday, WOW-sisters~
I am very cranky today. I am thinking sugar does more than make me want to eat. Hope my mood improves quickly. I am about ready to strangle my DH.
Good Day! This is in Marq. where most of the snow was gone on main street as they truck it out of there at least. After the last snow, with more to come now They don't have the snowbanks there at least. I think son thought it was gone for good.
So sad that I didn't wake up at 3 or 4 a.m like I usually have to go bathroom last night but instead got up at 5:20 a.m and missed most of the eclipse I wanted to see!! Only a little smudge left at that time. And it turned clear and moon was nice and bright for a very good sighting to You know Me and the Moon right? It got to -2 degree's very early this morning as it was clear and colder. No moon light in my room for sure. I went back to sleep anyway. Will be getting more cloudy today and of course into the next storm time.
Barb, I'm so sorry about Murphy and sure hope they can do the surgery and it will turn out very well for him!! Prayers and hugs!
Di, I do hope and pray your DD will get an answer now. Where does she get the numbness etc. again? I do in places but then, I'm a Lot older And heavier I'm sure which constricts nerves also. Yep, getting a bit tired of snow now as Maybe no Spring here Enjoy your day and so glad to hear about the pain going more away for you also!
Bama, good luck at eye Dr.s and quit looking for more to do now in your house! take it easy today maybe, unless you really want to move it.
Sue, good luck wishes on your shopping as I wasn't sure you were going May have missed it or do you go every Tues.? N.N> wanted Dh to drive him to his own Dr. today but Dh didn't. I told him, it would give him something to do right? He's gone garage or somewhere else anyway.
I see it is snowing outside right now! Didn't think it was today but I know it was finally snowing up north as they missed the other storm. So this must be lake effect or something but not the bigger one for Wed. to Thurs. All cloudy now.
Angii, hope things are going ok for you to! Take care of You also
Sue, I did watch all the video's so far that you sent and Love them as the only way I travel You do such a great job of it also! Thanks for sharing!
Well, I know there's something to do around here.....got garbage out at least. You all have a very nice day now! BBL, Yah
Back from the Eye Doctor .\
I am getting a cataract but no need to worry as I will probably never need surgery . By the time it advances I will probably be gone . Those weren't his exact words but that's what he meant . LOL A new Doctor today as my regular one retired . and this was the owner . Very nice and I liked him so that was good. He did say I had 20 20 vision so why the glasses. I can stop wearing them if I want to but then I will have to get the over 40 glasses to see close up and have them either around my neck or in my purse etc. Anyway I am use to wearing them . That way I don't have to be to careful of my eye make up or the droopy eye lids. another LOL .
Not much planned today going to check out and see if the Library has a couple of books I want to read plus I need to wait until the eyes come back to normal since he dilated them.
Mo I seem to remember that soap also seems like we got it in a package with some other animals too. Oh my What the young kids are missing out on today. I also remember how thrilled I was to get Day of the Week Panties. crazy huh. I do remember being so excited Christmas morning as we didn't get things all year long like they do now. Oh I am looking for the day of the week panties for my GD"S especially the little one she will be excited the older one doesn't show any emotions . I think she has them but doesn't show them Sometimes I just like to grab her and give her a big squeeze but she remains as limp as a piece of Celery that's been out of the Frig for a while.
Well I need to get to doing something . Back later.
How a good shopping trip, Sue hope you get lots of bargains .
Oh, gosh, Bama, I sooo wanted those days of the week panties. My mom was not big on that sort of indulgence though (the fuzzy soap must have been a gift!) so I never got any. Now I have days of the week dishtowels--those are my compensation, I guess! Glad your eyes are doing well. My mom says her glasses hide the bags under her eyes so she doesn't want to get rid of them.
I know you are thoroughly tired of the snow, but it does look so pretty, YAH. Love those streetlights. I'm sorry you missed the lunar eclipse. I missed it, too.
Hope your DH is hiding, Dianna! And hoping you feel more yourself soon. Hugs.
I'm making up my grocery list, and just thought to ask DD if they are coming for Easter dinner. SIL's family is big on feasts and I got the kids for Christmas Day, so I told her there's no pressure. I won't make a huge meal if they aren't coming, and that's okay with me, too. She said she'd talk to SIL tonight and let me know.
Guess my tea break is over, and I should go think about tonight's dinner.
Had a wonderful 'me day'....and evening too.
Monday was great too as I could do my workout and I did my Mari Pilates as I was a bit stiff and needed to get flexible again and Mari always does that so well.
We did up our shopping list for tomorrow and then I got my mail checked, answered mail and then worked on our budget numbers for March and got some for this month too.
Got some catch up done on my boards before lunch and then worked on some things to check after lunch till it was time for comics. So a quiet day. I thought I'd get my walls done, but the best laid plans of mice and men....didn't work out LOL
They will still be there so will give it a try on Wednesday in addition to my dusting.
We had another night of CharmedGate on the CSBM network and finished checking a set of disks too.
Lots of chuckles during the day while doing our list and other things.
Slept pretty good, as I didn't even hear Buddy get sick during the night. However, I did have to take an allergy pill, so that could be part of it.
So that took up extra time this a.m., cleaning up, good thing we got up early and had a later pick up too.
As for the rides and GROCERY REPORT....HERE GOES......OUR RIDES FIRST...... Well our pick up driver was about 5 minutes early before our window even started, so Chuck went out and told her we'd be there in a bit. A lady driver we have had before, in fact we had her last trip coming home. No one on the bus but us and no one to pick up, so we went right to Winco....so we were very happy campers...as meant a leisurely stroll for our groceries and the things we wanted to check too.
Plus even better since it was soooooo EARLY we walked over to the Dollar Tree store that's in shopping center. We've never been in one before (the one by FoodMaxx was dirty and yucky and didn't have much)....well all we can say is HOLY COW LADIES......Boy did they have a LOT of nice stuff....Betty Crocker stuff, nice containers, pictures, cleaning stuff, you name it they had it. Plus they had the 7 way buffer ( one like it as I had found by Trim on Wal-Mart)....I just went to look, a bit different but hoping this works as it was only a buck and not $2.88 like Trim's was. But have to say that Trim is a brand I am familiar with...Sassy+Chic....never heard of them. We also got some double A batteries for a buck too.
We will go back there and peruse some more. Plus we noticed right next door to the Dollar store there's a Harbor Freight store we could bring our lights to be fixed in and see if they have the stuff.
So we paid for our stuff and went back to Winco....and HERE'S THE GROCERY REPORT.......Well Chuck took off and I went with our receipt from last time to get our $1.48 back as the gal charged us for 2 loaves of French bread not 1. I found Chuck in the produce section and oh man they had some yummy looking stuff. Not our big trip so just got some more lettuce. They were 88 cents a head so Chuck got 2....mind you the WERE NOT on the list LOL
We also did some price checking on some stuff too, but did great as almost all we got today was on sale. We did finally find out the green tags are the sale ones and the yellow the regular price and they also have a tag of extra savings, and that's on top of the sale price. Plus we were able to get our McCormick's pepper again as it was back to it's normal $2.98 price rather than close to $5. While Chuck liked the Winco American cheese slices, the Borden's were on sale today so he got those, but there are more in the package too.
Unfortunately my Lipton Tea bags are now up to $5.05 but considering I get 3 months out of a box that's not too bad. I love new Lipton tea bags for ice tea and they are only $1.98 and I only use 5 for my container I make up each week so I get 4 weeks out of the box. And once I buy another box I will get 5 weeks as they come in 24 servings.
I also got my St. Ives facial scrub too, and I still have some left. I told Chuck when we were pairing some stuff done, I could wait but he said no you've taken it off a couple times now and we will get it today.
All in all a great trip and we used our other FREE coupon for Buddy's Snaps today too.
DRUM ROLL PLEASE......and our bill was $10 under with the smaller list....can't beat it.
So we made our pit stops and headed outside to wait for our bus. We were early but so be it.....However, I did notice as I was checking the list outside that they made a mistake. So I went back in and went to the cashier but she said just go to Customer service, so I got to see my CS lady friend who I had seen when we came in LOL So she started processing but asked for the card, well I didn't have it so I left the stuff and went out to get Chuck to go in with the cards. He did and we got our $1.35 back....hey it adds up. Mind you it was for our butterscotch disks and the girl rang up dried apricots....YUCK!
As we were waiting an elderly gentlemen and his wife walked by and he said hello and we said hello back and he said it was a good day as he was still standing upright and when he read the obits in the paper he wasn't there yet LOL So we said we are still on the 'other side of the dirt' and his wife said to all of us you are all crazy LOL
So a nice chuckle for the day too!
Well we got LUCKY again as I our ride was in the early part of our window about 8 minutes into it and was a very nice guy we hadn't had for a long while, so I forgot him name....very nice though.
We had another passenger, and he dropped him off. Have a feeling he was in rehab or somewhere for a while as he said as we were driving down the road towards his place, he hoped his house was still standing. It was and he got in just fine. As the driver helped him. I would have thought someone would have been there for him.
Then he took us home and Buddy was still snoozing as I don't think he heard this bus...it was one of the new ones...and I still don't like them....I was telling the driver about Damien getting one too and he said he hadn't seen Damien in ages now. He said the same he wasn't too fond of the bus either.
So we got Buddy's stuff cleaned up, Chuck took him out, we got our stuff put away, washed up and changed and had lunch.
Chuck checked mail and I got my script in for inhalers, so I am a happy camper.
Did get a chuckle during lunch as Chuck said Buddy asked him if we could have a scoop of ice cream tonight instead of cake since we were having one of our cheesy enchilada's tonight. So I said sure....and then after we had finished eating and were talking...Chuck says to me...oh Buddy was wondering something else and I looked at him and I could see him trying to hold back the laughter and I said NO, I am WATCHING HUNTER TONIGHT.....and sure enough I was right, as Buddy wanted a week of CharmedGate's LOL
Hey little things amuse us LOL
On that note.....that's it for me for the day...off to go check my mail and by then it will be comic time and then nap time. I am looking forward to it as I am tired and my back and legs are killing me.
Hope you had a good day and same for tonight.
I sooo loved my day of the week panties, I think my Aunt got them for me . She was such a sweetie . Never married and her neices and nephews were her babies. .
Here's an article I received in my email today thought it was worth passing on and also I printed it out . As this is something I believe and am trying to become successful at doing . I am doing a little better keeping up with my food intake . Trying to stay within 1200 calories . I did my bmr and according to that in order to maintain my weight as it is now I can have 1800+ calories aday so in order to lose I need to do 500 calories a day less and that will be 1 pound a week. 1200 caloreis isn't a lot but it can be done .
Are you using the MyFreeDiet.com Diet Planner & Diary every day?If not, here are a few reasons why you should start keeping track of what you eat and when you exercise... now!
• Logging will keep you on track.It will help you stay focused on what you need for each meal. It provides you with a better measure of how much you're eating and makes you pay more attention to your portion sizes. It will help keep you honest about "snacking" or "tasting" between meals, and will oftentimes ward off the temptation to do so.
• Logging will help motivate you.Reviewing your food log at the end of the day and seeing you were right on track will give you a huge sense of accomplishment. Having your hard work and dedication written down also helps you take control of your program, because you'll be able to see each day whether or not you did what was necessary to bring you closer to the body you want.
• Logging will keep you involved.It's easy to immerse yourself in your diet and fitness program when you first start it, but this involvement becomes even more important as you get into the thick of it. It is crucial to stay committed throughout, and keeping your food and exercise log can help you feel connected and focused.
• Log as you go (as best you can).It's very easy to fall into the habit of logging at the end of the day or even the end of the week. But logging what you eat as soon as you eat it is a better way to prevent yourself from forgetting or getting off track.
• Make your food log detailed.You need to list every piece of food you eat along with any drinks you consume. This includes tasting off someone else's plate, the three M&M's you had from the candy dish at work... EVERYTHING! Make sure you measure and record portion sizes, sauces, and seasonings, too.
• Log your exercise.Writing down your workout every day and seeing the average number of calories you burned is highly motivating. And there's nothing quite like looking back over the week or even the month and seeing just how much you've accomplished.
Sure, food and exercise logging adds a little work to your day, but, when it comes to YOUR PROGRAM and YOUR RESULTS these logs are invaluable! Take the time to do it and you will gain control of your program and watch your results skyrocket!
A nice pic of pretty daffodils that YAH got from a friend and wanted to share....
They said this was Tahquamenon Falls up here, taken during moon eclipse so its strange looking Does look strange but that moon was bright so maybe part of it was showing? Thanks for putting the pretty yellow daffodils on Sue! My sis, Amy's mom, picked them from her garden and had them on her table Just love them
NOw its clear for tonight so far and getting very cold again. Guess its later tomorrow with the storm warning now thru Thurs. Hopefully it will be the last one. Don't mind snow but like to see some Spring to although out here, I don't feel it so good.
Bama and Mo, no day of the week stuff here I was lucky to just get some! Mo, I sure would love it in Marq. even with the snow as so many places to drop in there on that street And it leads right down to the Lake also!
Bama, I'm not good at putting down what I eat yet I guess. Try to remember but depends on what I'm feeling also I guess around here. Maybe one day Wish I could afford a personal trainer or whatever, someone to be there by my side and doing some with me.
Sue, love the way you and Chuck get along and about the little things also Thats what makes it work I'm sure as your both homebound there so it could be a worse situation but you work so well together and cook and all and Listen also to each other. And your grocery trip went well I see and you save so much always! You are the smart one at that for sure! I'm learning! Hope you got to relax a bit and enjoy a very nice evening to. As for crazy, I've been known to use the word 'planted' for when I'm gone. I guess I'll get planted in the cheap cemetary
Well, time sure went flying by the last few hrs. as its 9 pm already. Lets hope no call in's tomorrow as 3 in a row will be enough for me this week I'm sure. Good night all! Yah
Evening ladies,
Quiet day around here. Neither one of us got much sleep last night. DH slept on the couch since Murphy can't do the stairs. He also got up for the eclipse. He wasn't thrilled with his photos, but we really haven't looked at them.
Yay on the 20/20 vision, Bama. I need to make an eye appointment in a couple of months. I usually go to an ophthalmologist, but my doc said the local optometrist can do all the tests I need here in town. In town is good. I did reschedule the appointment with the oral surgeon for a couple of weeks, and switched to their office in Hibbing. That will save me almost 45 minutes of driving. Of course now my appointment is with the newest (youngest?) member of the practice. I remember the days of the week underwear! I can't remember if I had any, but remember seeing them - probably in the Lillian Vernon catalog. Wonder if they are still around?
Hope your day improved, Dianna, but I do know that feeling!
You do such a great job on your shopping trips, Sue! I have to make up a list tomorrow and pick up a few things. My healthy farmers talked me into getting a porketta (seasoned pork roast). It's thawed now so I guess I'll pop it in the crock pot tomorrow. We've never had them before and I don't usually cook pork roast, so we will see! Today was another regional favorite - pasty day! The last of the monthly church pasties until next fall. We can still get them at the grocery store, but the church ones are the best.
I have something popping up in the front gardens, but I have no idea what! We still have snow left in part of the yard. DH was annoyed that the weeds that are so hard to get rid of seem to have survived. They are at least half of the yard.
Hope you get some rest tonight YAH, and no call in. Snow here tomorrow, but hopefully not much for us.
Have a great evening.
Oh good morning all and it is an early morning . Just getting up and need to get my workout in but had forgot to turn the Puter off so here I am.
Sue you were posting when I was last night and I just read your post . What a great trip and I see you visited one of my favorite stores. It amazes me as to the food they have in them (Dollar Tree) We have several in town one at each end. Our ever has frozen food and I visit them probably once a week. That is where I get my Generic Benadryl and also they have Larry's potatoes . Little baked potatoes in as carton for 1.00 and at Walmart they are 2.99 . Lots of goodies in those stores of course most of the paper goods etc are from China . Sometimes I even find a good book . Greeting cards 2/1.00 . Can't beat that.
Yah the flowers are beautiful. I think ours are about done . My azaleas are finished as they are started to drop off.
Barb sorry your DH didn't get any good pictures after having gotten up to get them .
We have a Boston Butt (port roast) once or twice a year . I do a boiled dinner . Big dutch oven and add it and potatoes , carrots, onions cabbage sometimes turnip roots , rutabaga Little seasoning in the pot . Delish . Course you have to make gravy with all the juice. I do boil the meat early and then let cool and refrigerate so I can skim the fat off the top. Then i'll reheat with the veggies . All those veggies with gravy and some Hawaiian rolls . Yummy I just made myself hungry'
Yah, You don't need a personal trainer . You tube has sooooo many free workout videos on it. Walking and weights etc.
Well need to get busy; and get this workout done before I change my mind. gotta do it first thing in the am or I won't do it.
The rain has stopped, the sun is going to be up soon so it will be better day. I got over my grumpy mood by the end of the day. Just had to get away from everything and everyone for awhile. Shut myself up in the bedroom with a book after lunch but I ended up sleeping for awhile. I have no clue why I was mad at the world but at least it's done with.
Sorry about the poor sleep and not wonderful pictures, Barb. I forgot about the eclipse. From the chart that was online, I don't think we were supposed to have a good view of it here. Didn't hear anyone even mention it around here.
Sounds like another good shopping trip, Sue. We will be doing our shopping and errands today. Need to get groceries, birthday gift for our GS and something for the GK's for Easter. I hope to pick up some Easter flowers for DD at the farmer's market on Friday. I like the Dollar Tree best of the Dollar Stores. Too bad the nearest one is almost 30 miles away. I only get there a few times a year when we go up north.
YAH, do you have senior center near you? Check and see if they have any exercise classes. That is where I went for tai chi classes when they still had them. Ours also has a Peppi exercise class and country line dancing classes but I never tried them because they are in the middle of the day. And as Alabama mentioned there are lots of free exercise videos online.
Your pork roast sounds yummy, Alabama. I've never added veggies to my crock pot pork. I'll have to give it a try. Great news on the 20/20 vision. I'm blind as a bat without my glasses.
Molasses, good luck with your seed starting. There was a clip on the news at noon yesterday telling people to hold off on their gardens until after May 1st this year. They said we are running about three weeks behind weather wise this year.
Hi Angii, hope all is well in your world. DH asked me why I keep spelling our DD's name Angii instead of Angie. I told him I'm in the habit of writing your name and I write yours more often. DD will be 42 in June and my youngest will be 37 in May. I believe you may be about my youngest DD's age. Or are you younger?
DD called on her way home from work yesterday. She said it was in the 60's when she went to work so she didn't take a coat. On the way home it was in the 30's and snowing to beat the band. She had the car heater cranked up to stay warm. She apparently didn't inherit my dad's preparedness gene. I have an old coat and a blanket in my trunk year round.
Well DH is up so better get myself ready to hit the road.
Have a great day all.
Oh my gosh, Barb--I want to be at your house today, just to sniff the air. If there's anything that makes me miss meat, it's a porketta. I think you'll be glad you tried it. When we were kids, we'd even suck the strings! Maybe the newest member of the practice is up all on all the latest techniques. I tend to like someone in their 40s--I figure they are young enough to be keeping up with the news, and old enough to have some experience.
Do they do porketta in the UP, YAH? I don't think I've ever heard of them out of MN. Even in IA, they didn't sell it. Thanks for the beautiful pictures. Those falls are spectacular. If I were in your neighborhood, I'd love to practice personal training on you!
Glad your dark cloud left you alone, Dianna. Good luck with your shopping today. Do you already have something in mind for your GS? I find it really hard to gift shop without an idea or two. Thanks for the garden tip. I hope what I've put in already is okay out there. It's really just rhubarb and peas, since the strawberries were dead.
Glad you had a good shopping day, Sue. I haven't been in a Dollar Tree in quite awhile--the nearest one is in a town I rarely get to. I do run into our local dollar store for things like cupcake papers and gift bags, but I don't think it's as well-stocked as a Dollar Tree.
Bama, I do think if you can keep a food/exercise log, it's really helpful. I did it for awhile for weight loss purposes years ago. Now I am hoping to be able to stick with a food/mood log through the month of May to check my reactions to different foods; we'll see. Maybe I'll try posting with Sue, see if that helps.
Hope all is well, Angii.
We had a crazy night. I think I had just fallen asleep around 12;30 a.m. when the smoke alarm started doing that low battery chirp. Rio jumped up and ran in the basement. I got up but the alarm is wired, with a just a battery backup, so DH had to get up and take it down and remove the battery. Then the cows across the road were bellowing so loudly; I don't know if it's birthing time or what, but we couldn't get back to sleep.
Time to meet DH for our workout. Have a great day, everyone!
Diane, I am not to keen on veggies in the crockpot. I usually cook them separate. I have fixed my Boston Butt in the crock to get a head start on it and then I transfer to my Dutch Oven to do the veggies.
Dh is at the Lincoln place . Had a recall on his car so he is having that checked out. I don't know if when he gets home we will run our errands or not. I probably could get by until tomorrow.
Yah, I bought an HDMI cord from Walmart on line only 5.00 . You can hook it up to your laptop and then to the tv and watch whatever on your tv screen . If you have one of the newer tvs that have that plug. I don't like doing videos from the computer screen. Just a thought.
Well I am going to clean out the Frig since DH is gone .
Mo, you were posting when I was. I have never heard of porketta. Oh I see that it is just seasoned pork roast . But there are several kinds. I will have to do some research on it. Different things in different areas. I also never heard of pasties. those sound so good.
Hi my lovely ladies. Holy busy girl here! The party was a success, and I even made one sale ($90 in my pocket) and have a few other leads. Then Sunday we went to the local race track to do some testing on the bike, and we ended up going to the finals! And then there was a bonus race for all the finalists, so we didn't even leave the track until 8:30pm, And since we were not planning on being there that long, we hadn't had dinner. So once we got home and unhooked I ran to Wendy's to get us some food. I am sure it tasted way better than what it actually was because of how hungry we were! But the bike ran great, and Cody did well, and we got a ton of cool prizes! We got a trophy, a sweatshirt, 2 baseball caps, a bucket full of car cleaning supplies (I was sooooo excited about that) a bunch of coupons including one for a free pizza! We also got a cold weather emergency car kit, and a bag! Plus $200 bucks!
I had training classes all day Monday and Tuesday, for the state caregiver program. But I have had too many nights of very little sleep so I am draggin butt today and have a list a mile long that I need to get to. I am hoping I can get caught up tomorrow.
Di, I will be 38 in August! So I am just a few months older than your youngest! I get asked about the spelling of my name a lot. When I was in 7th grade we moved and I had to change schools. Well the English class that I was put into had 3 other Angela's . One had the same middle initial and LAST NAME so I changed the way I spelled Angie from ie to ii! It is a nick name so it doesn't really matter, and I didn't want to go by my middle name. Now I had a common maiden name,,, my last name was Hansen.
Well I better go and get Dad moving. I am going to work on finalizing a place for him the next few days.
Wow YAH the Tahquamenon Falls picture is gorgeous. Your welcome on the daffodils, YAH. I knew you wanted to but said you couldn't so I did it for ya. They are too pretty not sure to share. Glad it was clear last night and I hope you slept well.
Thanks YAH on the Chuck and I thing, though last night it wasn't so rosy. I am mad, he was mad and he still seems irked this a.m. and I am NOT in the mood. So we have our good and bad days like everyone else.
Yes we were thrilled with the trip. Had a great evening as I not only got to watch 2 Hunter episodes but 3 as it was a 3 parter. You and me both on the planted in a cheap cemetery.
HUGS on the sleep Barb, I wouldn't have either and my heart and hugs to all of you. I too, have to make an eye appointment soon. Should of done it last year but didn't.
Oh I loved the days of the week underwear and I had 2 week's worth LOL Loved those undies.
Thanks on the shopping trips Barb and mmmm the porketta sounds delicious I love pork.
Oh Bama, I will have to check the Dollar Tree out more as we had the shopping too so didn't get to spend as much time as we wanted. Looking forward to exploring it more.
Dianna, I have those days too, where I have no idea why I am ticked off but I just keep to myself till it wears off. Glad you will be having a sunny day.
Hope your trip today goes as well as ours did yesterday Barb. It was our first time in the Dollar Tree and can't wait till we can go back with more time.
No coats here either Dianna, in fact Chuck has been in shorts all week long. We hit 93 yesterday.
Wow Molasses, a very loud and crazy night at your house. Glad you are all OK!
Oh Angii, so good to see you here, I was worried. I am so happy that the party went well and a BIG CONGRATS to you and Cody. Oh I love trophies and car cleaning stuff and all those great prices. Remember them well and miss that and the camaraderie and people of the track.
I see you have been a very busy lady. I love the reasoning about the changing of the spelling of your name and thanks for telling us, so neat.
Well I am off to breakfast, workout, dusting and hope to start my Spring cleaning today too!
Good Day ladies! This is just ice off the lake in different places, more in south U.P. where the water is coming out more and waves send the ice on roads by them then. Hasn't happened by my Lake yet
It was a clear night and of course I looked out at between 3 and 4 a.m when I went bathroom and moon was nice and bright and if I would have got up that time the other night, it would have been the middle of the eclipse But I didn't. Was pretty cold again. But its getting cloudy today and I see we have a winter storm Warning now and up to 14 inches possible of snow!! Starting later and it will be wet Heavy stuff I guess so hopefully I get ok to work now. Last storms, I was home. Can't believe these Spring storms
Bama, Mo etc., I really didn't mean exericise videos as I know I can get them but just dreaming about someone being after me, in person, and doing it all with me As if there is anyone I don't follow orders to much on video's etc., sorry to say Just wish I even had a good friend whose into losing and all and can know show me how she did it But I don't know anyone right by me here So will keep trying is all we can do right? Bama, my tv is not much bigger than my bigger laptop so that doesn't help I go for the smallest I can get, and be nice to have no tv at all if I lived by the Lake and Marq. I need to go eye Dr's someday soon also. Last check was 20/20 but I like glasses for very small print and of course for seeing those bad written names on all the personals at work! Really need them for that.
Di, have a good errand day and all and glad its looking better over there weatherwise right? They are having another bday party for Josie on Sat. but I'm working but she will have Lots of Aunties to play with and many holders for Tommy also so I will enjoy them when their more alone. Dh can bring more gifts to them if he wants.
Mo, yes they do sell porketta porks around here and I did try one once, but neither of us liked it. To much seasoning I guess. My Dh likes a big pork butt but I haven't even picked that up lately with the prices. I try not to eat so much of the meat now except for chicken and fish and some chuck if I make Hamb. Helper And for chili etc. Sounds like a crazy night you had but I would love to hear some cows mooing! I miss that
Angii, happy to hear about the party and all the gifts and making some money to! And I'm sure you enjoyed the gifts from the racing and congrats on getting in for finals etc. to! I hope you get some time in between all that running around to relax a bit and hoping all turns out very well for everyone. I see you will be what my niece Amy was when she disappeared. She would be 41 in July
Sue, thanks again and you two make up so well though after the tifs Well its turning cold here again and more snow I like those dollar stores to but their not by me either. Everything is in work town at least as is the senior center also so if if I lived there, it would be great!! But I don't. We have a Family Dollar store there to but I hear a bunch of them are closing so I hope not this one. Hope you have a great day today and take some rest time!
Barb, guess or hope you miss this big storm to! I guess we'll be in the middle of it again. Hope Murphy is doing as good as he can right now? Prayers.
Well, BBL, Yah
Well I guess I'm going to get a few more things done and then soon after, turning in to read my book and go sleep. I guess it will be a earlier morning for me as I got to check on how much snow came already and hopefully make it to work with meeting All those cars coming this way! It has been coming down with snow sleet since 1 pm or so, so the roads are being covered up already and look slick right now anyway. I wish they would put something on them earlier than they usually do. I sure got lots of birds out there but hardly no seeds to put out for them right now They must know something I don't know? Son's are both working in kitchen until 11 p.m so I wonder how it will be or if middle son will stay in work town until tomorrow since his car is so low. Told him to take his boots and don't try to go if its really bad. Glad they don't have to work tomorrow, so far anyway. Don't know why I said yes either now.
Have a very good evening and sleep nice and peaceful now! Yah
Our vet called today and they don't want to do surgery on Murphy. He is doing fairly well on the pain medication (limping, but doesn't seem to be in too much pain). Anyway, the vet said just keep him on the medication and see if his brain adjusts and he compensates. Animals are amazing that way! Anyway, I'm glad that's the way we are going for now. Evidently they had a vet down in Duluth do a similar surgery once and it turned out badly. Marc did bring him upstairs last night and he was much happier sleeping in bed. We kept the door closed so he would go downstairs by himself, and even Jazmine stayed in the room on the floor all night. We all had a better night's sleep.
Light snow here now but we're not expecting much. I am so ready for warmer temps and sunshine.
I just heard about the Family Dollar stores closing a bunch of stores. They just built a brand new one here. Haven't heard if it will be closing. That's all we need is another vacant storefront. They also just built a new Dollar General on the other end of town. It's been open about a month. Haven't been there yet but I used to shop at one in Kansas.
I taste tested the porketta a few minutes ago. Interesting flavors but good!
DH came home with more squeaky toys for the dogs and the squeakers are already gone! I need to stock up on toys at Target next week!
Better go find some veggies for dinner. Have a good evening!
Barb you all are in my thoughts and prayers....HUGS
YAH, that is a pile of snow there. Bummer on the wake up. Hard to get good pics with a tripod and a very good camera.
Wish I was there and could help you out YAH....HUGS
Wal-Mart had 3 pair of reading glasses for $10, YAH and different levels of magnification. We love them LOL
We both have to go for eye exams too.
We are doing better this afternoon, YAH. Sorry about the cold weather but you wouldn't like it here at all as we are headed to the high 80s today. A/C will be on after nap time. Sorry about the dollar stores being so far away.
Hope you sleep well tonight and an easy ride into work tomorrow, YAH.
Well I am off to nap time.
Barb, we had a similar situation with our Whiskey Girl. She was 10 or 11 and tore the ligament in the back leg (knee) area while playing. We gave her Rymidal for about 3 weeks and glucosamine for the rest of her days, and the rymidal only when she overdid and started limping. She adjusted really well, and I am very glad we didn't do the surgery. She made it about 4 more years with little to no problems from the tear.
Well I got a lot of stuff off of my list today, but not everything. We are canceling our Direct TV. We love it, but it is something that we can cut out of the budget to help make ends meet.
Well I am off,, need to plan my after dinner snack.
Well its not either rain or shine, but lots of snow!! Haven't even gone outside yet but have to get dressed now and check on it. Looks like snow all night and a big push on it this morning and then by end of day, should get better. I've been up since Dh came down for his last pills, which was late, about 1:30 a.m and I couldn't fall asleep then He's suppose to come down by 11 pm at least Guess he was sleeping. Now I'm tired.
Glad Murphy might be ok without the surgery and hopefully does as well as Angii's dog did then Barb. Might be a better plan as you don't want it to go wrong either.
Angii, I see you are still being busy and hoping all turns out well for you all Now to get to work in the snow for me Have a very good day all and wish me luck! Yah

- 2 tablespoons Cajun seasoning
- 2 tablespoons canola oil
- 6 cloves garlic, smashed and peeled
- One 12-ounce light-bodied beer
- Juice of 1 lemon
- One 8-ounce bottle clam juice
- 1/4 cup hot sauce, preferably Tabasco
- 1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tablespoons apple-cider vinegar
- 2 dried bay leaves
- 1 teaspoon whole black peppercorns
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) cold butter, cut into cubes
- 1 crusty French baguette
Toss the shrimp with the Cajun seasoning in a medium bowl. Set aside.
Heat the canola oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Once it's hot, toss in the garlic, and sauté until golden, about 3 or 4 minutes. Add the shrimp to the pan, and cook until they turn bright pink, about 1 minute more. Remove the shrimp from the pan with a slotted spoon, and set aside on a plate. Pour in the beer, lemon juice, clam juice, hot sauce, Worcestershire sauce, apple-cider vinegar, bay leaves, and peppercorns; bring to a simmer, and cook for 15 minutes, until the liquid is slightly thickened.
Whisk the cubes of butter into the sauce, and once it's melted, add the shrimp to finish cooking, about 2 minutes more. Serve the shrimp and sauce in bowls with loads of crusty bread for dipping.

Milwaukee's Global Festival
World music formerly conjured up impressions of folklore, field recordings and fading traditions lovingly preserved on wax. Lately, it's emerged from the archives and the museums to take its place in contemporary pop culture. Even so, world music still strikes many ears as an awkward catchall term. Aside from the music of the spheres, what on Earth isn't world music? But for an industry, a media and a populace lost without neatly labeled categories, world music has become the file folder for almost any performer outside of the Anglo-American musical tradition.

Editors' Top PicksSee All
Creative has, according to our count, at least four wireless Bluetooth headphones in its current product lineup. The two top models, the WP-450 and
I reviewed the WP-350 earlier this year and gave it a positive review, highlighting the fact that it delivers a lot of bang for the buck. That model can be found online for just less than $70 while the swankier WP-450 headphones (reviewed here) go for around $120.
The first thing you notice when you compare the two models is that the WP-450 seems to have the better design. Its earcups appear to be better padded and the headband also appears sturdier. The WP-350 folds flat while the WP-450 folds up. Neither ends up being all that compact in the folded state. Both come with simple protective carrying bags.
After trying each one on, I was surprised to find that I thought the WP-350 was the slightly more comfortable headset. For starters, it's a bit lighter and its headband has some padding on the top while the WP-450's doesn't. I suspect the WP-450 will hold up better over time, but it just felt like it was clamped a little too tightly to my head and it was a bit uncomfortable after about 20 minutes. Of course, people's heads and ears vary in size, as does comfort level from person to person. I did test the models out on a couple of other CNET editors; one found the WP-450 more comfortable while the other gave the slight nod to the WP-350.
Both models are on-ear (meaning they sit on your ear, instead of surrounding the ear). They're not as comfortable as competing on-ear wired headphones like the Bose OE2i or the Sennheiser HD 238i models, and my ears did get a little steamy on warmer days.
I was able to achieve a tight seal on my ears, and the WP-450 earcups do a decent job of shutting out the outside world (depending on your ear, you will probably get a tighter seal with the WP-450s than the WP-350s, but that's partially because they simply fit tighter on your head). I can't say I felt all that stylish wearing them, but they're attractive enough and are a notch up in the style department from the WP-350s. That said, they do extend out more from your ears.
While they offer a bit more flair than the WP-350s and look a little pricier, there's nothing terribly fancy about the WP-450 headphones.

Look, I know today didn't go terribly well (understatement of the century? Perhaps.), but if anyone can help these Giants out of the hole they are rapidly slipping into, Marco Scutaro is the one. The One, in the romantic comedy sense of the term. To start with, he's played on pretty much every team that's ever existed, which has to count for something. That something might be figuring out accessories to match his various uniform colors or it might mean some fab experience that will really boost this team down the stretch. I vote for both. All of the teams he's played on, per Wikipedia, just 'cause:
- Cleveland Indians
- Milwaukee Brewers
- New York Mets
- Oakland A's
- Toronto Blue Jays
- Boston Red Sox
- Colorado Rockies
- San Francisco Giants
- Boy Band Heaven's *NSYNC
(Let's play, Catch the Fake Team Name, shall we?)
There's also an interesting article about him over on ESPN, which you can read right here and it features his kind of fantastic welcome-to-the-Big-Leagues story.
It was a Sunday day game, so he went into the hotel coffee shop to have breakfast by himself. A couple of seats down, he recognized the Mets' manager, Bobby Valentine. "Oh my God," he thought to himself.
He hesitated. Should he go introduce himself? If he didn't, Valentine might ask him later at the ballpark why he'd avoided him.
So he overcame his shyness and spoke to Valentine. "Hello, Bobby, I'm Marco Scutaro."
Valentine answered, "Hi, kid, how you doing?" and resumed eating. Then Valentine, a gregarious type, looked up and said, "So, kid, do you live around here, or are you going to school in Cincinnati?"
"I'm Scutaro," he said."I'm your new player."
Anyhows, beyond all of that, I am of the opinion that Charlie Culberson was not a piece of the future in the way you could argue Zach Wheeler was and while this deal is obviously less flashy than that one, it's also lower risk with a potentially good and productive return. Hey, it's not like going big with Beltran worked out, after all that, and I think Scutaro makes a good deal of sense. The Rockies may be a cool 18.0 games out of first but even so, I am secretly very partial to trading within the division. Weakening teams that have a flag on our standings pole? That makes me happy. And while I'm admitting embarrassing things, it's worth noting that I do have a Justin Timberlake song on my iPod. I mean, I bought it to use it for a certain video I was making. But I do still have it.
Willkommen aboard, Marco. We have lousy weather and overenthusiastic fans (cough, cough) but we're pretty fun all the same. Also, we do not usually lose 10-0 to the Dodgers. Like, that never happens. Other than today. Want to make sure it never happens again? Please and thank you.
Diamond Girl
p.s. In heartwarming news, Chris Stewart hit a big ole bomb in New York this evening and the Yanks setting a franchise record for homers in first 100 games of a season at 157. (Speaking of cool and meaningless stats.) Am I the only one who misses that guy? Because I seriously do.

Following the mandate of the ITF Congress, on June 11th at 3 pm delegations of the two ITF Taekwon-do organisations, leaded by Grandmaster Trajtenberg and Dr. Chang Ung, met in Vienna at Vienna Grand Hotel and signed the agreement to stop immediately and end forever all Court proceedings at present and in the future between the two Taekwon-Do organisations and their own members and confirm the commitments not to slander, calumniate or defame each other. They express that they will observe a mutual respect to each other for the future. Grandmaster Trajtenberg was accompanied by ITF Secretary General Master Ferrando, Senior Vice-President Master Paul Weiler and Lawyer Mag. Spiegl as witness. If you have any questions concerning this matter, please contact the Sec. General's office.
Master Juan Ferrando
ITF Secretary General
It is India's great honor to host the 93th IIC of 2014. We are grateful to ITF for giving us a chance to host such a respectable event. Great regards to Grand Masters, GM Willem Jacob Bos and GM Hector Marano for their super strong technical support and valuable time. We feel pride to share the success of the 93th IIC of 2014 in India.

I also thought that I would not want to talk about the overwhelming success the Instruction Committee has, with their powerful teaching and standardization that encourage Masters and Instructors to transpire the Dobok with a homogeneous technique across the whole planet.

DES MOINES – The spring 2013 Operation ReLeaf events were a great success! The Iowa DNR Forestry Bureau, Interstate Power and Light Company, an Alliant Energy company, and local partners teamed up to offer eight residential tree distribution sites throughout the state this spring, selling more than 1,950 trees to homeowners who utilize Alliant Energy. Operation ReLeaf is a residential tree planting program that promotes long-term energy and natural resource conservation funded by Alliant Energy and administered by the Iowa DNR Forestry Bureau with assistance from local municipalities, county conservation boards, and county extension offices. Through the program, Alliant Energy residential customers may purchase high-quality landscaping trees for $25 each. These trees typically retail from $65 - $125. With the trees in the ground, the Iowa DNR Forestry Bureau has a few reminders about tree care: • Water the tree during the entire summer. Unless you get an inch of rain in a week, apply 3- to 5-gallons water directly on the root ball 1- to 3-times per week. Increase frequency during hot and dry periods. Watering tip: drill a small hole in the bottom of a five-gallon bucket, fill it and allow the water to slowly seep directly onto the root ball area. • Remove all tags, packaging, and bamboo. The tree can grow around and into the bamboo if left in place, which can eventually cause decay and early mortality. • Trees do not benefit from staking if it can stand on its own. If the base of the tree is blowing over and unable to hold in place, staking will help the roots be established. If you are considering staking visit, extension.iastate.edu/forestry/tree_planting/stake.html • Continue to mulch the trees each year. Make sure mulch extends all the way to the drip line of the tree in the shape of a donut, 2- to 4-inches deep. Too much mulch around the trunk can cause the bark to decay. Instead, pull the mulch back a couple inches from the trunk. • Only prune when necessary. You should not prune your newly planted trees for the first 2- to 3-years unless correcting for a central leader or removing damaged or crossed branches. Remember, the more leaves, the more energy the tree can produce for growth. Once the branches are approaching two inches in diameter, prune to train for a terminal leader or to remove lower branches when they approach two inches in diameter. Never remove more than a third of the canopy when pruning. For fruit trees, follow specific instructions. Only prune oak trees from November through February, to prevent oak wilt. For more information visit, treesaregood.com/treecare/resources/Pruning_YoungTrees.pdf
Fall 2013 distributions are scheduled in Clinton, Dallas, Des Moines, Fayette, Linn, Marshall, Washington and Worth counties. Order forms will be available online in July at alliantenergy.com/releaf. For more information about tree care, or Operation ReLeaf, call the Iowa DNR Operation ReLeaf coordinator, Laura Wagner, at 515-281-6749.

I need monster trucks!!
I need monster trucks!!
I too love the decades theme. I would also like to see a basket theme with all of the summer picnics coming up.
I came across two pictures while googling around, and they both seem to be screaming for kits that could go with the color scheme/ similar elements in it.
I made color schemes out of them.
Feel free to use the colors, names, ideas. Sometimes I wish I could design ;)
Clover Glow
Spring Tranquility
Thank you. I downloaded these although I'm not sure how to use these since I am a newbie. What do the numbers in the color boxes represent? How do I replicate this color scheme in PS elements? I have PSE 3.0.
Just use the eyedropper tool (look like a pipette) to use the color.
The numbers are the numbers that represent the colors. If you double click on the color squares in the tools, you can enter it to get a color and it shows you what the numbers for the colors are that you are using right now. (it's normally a little box with an # in front?

Each summer, Albany Community Hospice hosts its annual grief camps for children and teens. Camp Good Grief is for children fifth grade and below, and Journey is for youth/teens sixth-12th grades.

Experienced, trained counselors, who are prepared to deal with bereavement issues, will assist campers throughout their time at the camps.
The children will participate in small group activities, such as crafts, group sessions and games to help children express their grief. A memorial service is also held at the conclusion of each camp day at 4:30 p.m.

the modmood design studio is a sweet surprise. when we first began working on our business plan and the floor place for the store there was a little area in the back that seemed to accommodate perfectly a small design area. having had a design studio in knoxville, tn prior to joining the corporate life i was anxious to get back to my passion.
i can remember standing in the middle of this little space, once the fabrics, tile, rugs, paints and pillows starting coming in, and telling pat, "i don't care if i ever do any business back here i just love being surrounded by all these things".
needless to say, what is going on back in that little area is far above and beyond my expectations. i guess it goes back to doing what you love and the success will follow.
the growth in our studio has required us to take a leap and that is to purchase another building (if you can believe we don't have enough room in this one!) and expand our studio even further. so…we have a place under contract and if all our zoning issues are resolved you will see further expansion of the modmood studio later this year.
most of the work we do in the studio comes from those who walk into the store. you would think that since we have a lot of contemporary, vintage and mid-century modern in the store that the design opportunities would follow those styles. however, much of our work encompasses MANY styles. i was recently discussing this with one of our modmood fans and he said he thinks it is because there are so may people that want to get outside their style box but are nervous about it. they feel comfortable with you and your team because your experience is in many styles and you can bring that modern edge to the more classic looks…hence our new tag line: modmood a modern twist to the classic styles.
check out our design page and see some of the things we're doing. there are a few photos of some of our work posted. we will soon have a before and after segment but in the meantime have fun browsing at some of the photographed staged units.
