Good morning ladies,
I hope everyone had a good weekend and a nice Mother's Day.
Everyone seems so busy lately, I thought the following might be a good reminder.
Thank you for opening Di, I slept late. Had a big day yesterday and needed it. It was nice and cool and the bed felt so good.
Not much planned today . Probably going out and doing a little bit of weeding since we had lots of rain yesterday and last night . House is back in order from yesterday . Workout is finished DD fixed my Netflix yesterday and some other things on the Wii and new TV. Plus DS fixed DH's cable box in the bedroom . So all is good here.
A nice saying thanks for sharing .
Off to shower and drink my smoothie .
Hi again,
Nothing new here. We need to mow grass but it's supposed to be near 90 today and tomorrow so not sure it's gonna happen. If it's not all dewy when I get done here, I may try to at least get the yards close to the house done. DH has a day full of appointments and meetings so not sure how much he'll be able to help with yard work. I don't plan on being out there in the heat of the day. My body isn't used to it. No chance to ease into it this year with the crazy weather we'd had. Plenty to do if I get stuck inside too. I seem to have fallen behind with chores again. Too many projects and not enough time.
My scale was down yesterday but went up 2.6 pounds by this morning. I swear I am going to smash that thing. I had oatmeal with blueberries and almond milk for breakfast, a baked potato with coconut oil and parsley on it, cabbage, apple and pineapple slaw and a couple of ounces of ham for lunch and an almond milk, banana and PB smoothie for supper. Plus there was a slice of pumpkin pie last night for my Mother's Day splurge. So much for the occasional splurge. It's a new week and a new start. Back to my oatmeal for breakfast , soup for lunch and salad for supper menu.
Dh is up so better go get breakfast. He has to be at the doctor by 8 to review his blood work.
Have a great day all.
Morning, all,
Di, I'll bet you are just retaining water from the ham. This is crazy weather, isn't it? Yesterday was so gorgeous. Hope your DH gets all good news this morning.
Sounds like you've gotten a lot done already this morning, Bama, despite sleeping "late!"
I'm up from my splurging, too, only mine wasn't limited to just one meal. I started with the chocolate on Thurs, and ended with pasta and carrot cake last night. DD wanted to make me dinner for Mother's Day so she brought all the ingredients for artichoke linguini. It was very nice, SiL picked up some nice handmade soap and a beautiful dichroic glass pendant (which made me think of Birdie!) when he was in Portland, and DD found a pretty summer scarf and some old Mason jars perfect for my homemade body creams. I've never seen any like them before, they are wide and short.
Our modem was out most of the day yesterday. I finally called Comcast and set up an appt for a tech to come on Tues. morning. The bizarre thing is that when I called, the rep offered me a year of cable TV at the same price I'm paying now for the phone and internet. I don't know why they didn't just do that last week when we cancelled the TV. That rate is only for one cable box (we returned 3 last Thurs.), but we'll probably go pick one up and take them up on their offer so we don't have to go buy an antenna. Luckily there's a location about 5 miles away.
I'll have to catch up on yesterday's posts later. Hope everyone had a nice Mother's Day (and Anniversary, Sue). Have a great day!
Afternoon almost everyone..
Sue Happy Anniversary to you and Chuck I forgot yesterday
Did some weeding this morning more to do. With the rain we had last night they were pretty easy to come up . More rain this afternoon.
I am stuck home tomorrow and Wednesday as DH is golfing and will be using the car .
You all should have our cable bill . almost 300 a month due to having it in two homes. Time Warner which is all we can get here in Ohio will let you shut it down for a while all but the phone but then when you want it back on it always goes up in price. Cable is getting out of side for sure . I could live with out it but not DH . Our neighbor in Bama who so funny works for Comcast has antenna on his house . Maybe he just hasn't taken it down because I would imagine working for them he would get a discount . You all knew that Comcast bought Time Warner but I hear they are not any better for customer service than Time Warner is . we have Wow in Bama which was a local company and then Wow bought them out. We get pretty good service from them.
Di, I don't think your are eating enough . After a while your body figures that out and will hold on to all it can. Maybe if you haven't you should find some Protein powder that you are allowed and start using that in your smoothies . I make one but of course I can use any and it makes enough for two so if DH doesn't want any I have two a day. We don't eat healthy and some days I get upset with myself and other days I think what the heck I made it this far why not enjoy that piece of chocolate or whatever. I am eating potato chips right now so of course I have no one to blame but myself . We don't buy that kind of stuff in Bama but here there are certain things that we like that we can't get there so I guess we kinda pig out. Oh well tomorrow is another day .
DD is having surgery later this month nothing serious but as out patient and we are taking her and the shop there has a protein powder that I like as it is only 25 calories so I am going to stock up on it. Save me from ordering it from Amazon . I imagine it is whey protein tho. I never pay any attention other than Soy since I can't have that.
Well DH is looking for Lunch . I am not hungry lol since I just filled up on chips. so I need to find something for him.
A beautiful day here today . Lots of Sun shine. Farmers almanac says a mild summer is in store for us. We shall see. They were right about the winter.
Morning ladies,
Bama, oh a small system you have (as Yodo would say) LOL but sounds nice and NOT a lot of cords. The plethora of cords drives me batty as they attract...WHAT....DUST......and even as small as I am I have a hard time getting behind their and reaching to clean them all. GRRRRR Hubby says we will add the project of doing a complete rewiring....I will believe it when I see it since he has to do it since it is so darn complicated.
I love the good night graphic, YAH. Glad you got to the lake and got to see your middle son and older son also. Sorry you missed your son and DIL and Josie too. Safe trip to your middle son to GB and I hope you get to shorten his pants. I got your anniversary card you sent by email and hope you got the thank you I sent. Yes, we had a very nice anniversary day. You do fine on the catch up don't worry. I am just an obsessive personality LOL
Thanks for the fantastic start today Dianna. I hope you don't mind but I am going to borrow it and share it with some other women I know who need the reminder too!
Bama, LOL about your sleeping late and you posted 5 hours ago and it's 8:53 a.m. here.
Good luck with the weeding today. I imagine after all the cleaning the house didn't take long to get back into order. I see you got your workout in. I will be in about a half hour. Glad DD fixed your Netflix and the other things too.
Us too Dianna, hitting 90 today here also. It's nice now as it's 59 degrees with a light breeze so all windows and doors are open. But by late this afternoon a/c will be on. Yeah when we had the house Dianna, I did the mowing and stuff in the a.m. when I could but sometimes had to do in the late morning/early afternoon, but at least in Sacto it was a bit cooler, still hot but not the triples as much as here.
I am with you seems like lots of projects but not a long enough day LOL
Stay away from the scale Dianna and try weighing in once or twice a month and do it Sunday morning, rather than Monday morning.
Plus like everyone else I think you need to eat more.
Molasses, sounds like DD made you a wonderful dinner and found some great gifts too. Strange on the offer for cable.
Yes Molasses, nice anniversary and Mother's Day too.
Well off to mail, breakfast, workout, a grocery list, etc etc.
Just a quick Good Morning as i better go shower and get ready to go town and the meeting. I was going to go early but its late already. Its raining out there, but not stormy. About 43 degree's here anyway. Son is leaving off most of his laundry at his DB's house so i can pick it up or wash it there He works today and then leaves. The picture is how it did look in Marq. as lots of people were going in Kayaks out there among the ice since it was no waves or much wind Looked so nice and peaceful to do that! I imagine they know how to not roll over. Would be Very cold then.
Thanks for opening Di and wow, thats Hot weather! I hope we don't get that warm at all. Loved your pic's and your DD sure looks young! Beautiful girls I don't go on scale to often
Bama, glad you got tv fixed up etc. Our little cable went up to $50.00 since it changed. I wouldn't want to pay more than that for sure! Don't really need it either. But out her in the boondocks, comes in handy I guess. I guess no car for you yet? Hope you have a good day!
Sue, I'm so glad you had a good Anniversary day also!! I would have added a lot more email wishes if I had been home Hoping it stays a little bit cooler there as that sounds to hot to me! Have a super day today!
Mo, wow, lots of nice gifts there! It seems DD's know exactly what we could use hey? Son's don't think that far They do surprise sometimes How did your SIL like Portland then? Hoping the weather in MN. will make your dad happy also To long winter and cold tend to bring us way down.
Angii, Barb and all, enjoy your day today!! I better go or I will be late again I hate to hear the early start change though. BBL, Yah
Afternoon ladies. I did the grocery shopping today using hubby's debit card since my new one hasn't shown up yet. Yesterday was busy busy! We got the trimming done, then mowed the lawn, planted the garden (most of it anyway) and other yard work stuff. Hopefully my little monster quits digging in my flower bed since I pulled dirt from the garden to fill in all the holes in the bed. We are supposed to have glorious weather this week. I am so looking forward to it.
Today we were at the park for an hour and 1/2. Then I came home and ran to the bank, and then did all the shopping. I need to make a list and get stuff out to the camper this week, as we are leaving Friday morning. We were going to leave Thursday afternoon, but we don't have qualifying on Friday. Not sure why, but we only get one day of qualifying, and then eliminations on Sunday. That happened last year at that event, and we were told then, it wouldn't happen again, but it is. DH just got home.. gotta run!
Hi ladies,
YAH I love the picture and hope the meeting went well and I see you have a lot of washing in your life LOL The wishes you sent were very nice, thanks again.
Angii, I see you got yourself pantry restocked and got a bunch done on Sunday too.
Ooops on Charger digging things up. I guess we have been lucky with that. Buddy has tried in the dirt out back but since one of us is always with him, we yell NO, STOP and he does and hasn't done it again.
Wow nice long time at the park.
Your event sounds nice....have fun.
Well I am off to nap time,
Nothing exciting here. We are back to cold gloomy rain. I did go through boxes of books and have 6 priced for the garage sale. More stuff to go through tomorrow.
I agree, Dianna, sounds like you need more calories and protein. Bama, I feel the same - one day guilt and one day what the heck! I didn't get to the store today so we are having blueberry (whole grain) pancakes for dinner.
Have a good evening.
Hi, all,
Our modem has been out all day again, from 10 a.m. till a few minutes ago. Dish surely couldn't be any spottier than this! The technician is supposed to be here between 9 and 11 tomorrow. I suppose it will be working when he comes, but hopefully he can figure out why it keeps going out.
Sweet dreams, WOWsters~
Well, we got dinner done and finished planting the garden. We went and picked up a banana pepper plant, and DH found two more pepper plants that he wants to try, then we found some onions.... but no cauliflower Oh well, It will still be good. So we have romaine, brussle sprouts, pumpkin(maybe) roma tomatoes, beef steak tomatoes, 32 sweet potato plants, 12 jalapeno plants, one banana pepper, one red chilli pepper, and a hot banana pepper, and 30 onion plants. Oh, and I also have a planter with Cilantro in it!
Sue, we are heading to Spokane this weekend. We will be leaving Friday morning, as they changed the schedule so we only get a one day qualifier instead of two. So we will be qualifying on Saturday then eliminations on Sunday.
Well I am off, we are going to watch some Stargate Atlantis.
Just a Quick pop in to say good night and maybe some are in bed already! I should be. But middle son stopped here after getting off work later and decided to leave for GB tonight so he left at 8:40 pm or so. I told him to make sure he calls when he gets there, no matter what time!! Probably be about midnight. I hate with fog and dark for him alone driving though. And his friend moved to a different part of GB where you cross a bridge etc. to get there and son don't have the GPS now on his cheaper phone So just praying he gets there ok. He figured he could sleep later as that baseball game in Milwaukee with be at night and they'll be late getting home from that then.
I did go meeting. It was just in laundry room so I got to stand up for it Not enough chairs in there. Looks like earlier start up soon anyway. Had about 5 residents passing away this last weekend to! So lots of changes etc. Anyway, got to talk to sons a bit while waiting.
Dh is going nuts about trying to find a suit and all for being a pallbearer at this funeral. I told him he should have said he hasn't tried on his old suit for many yrs. and he's skinny most places except for the belly and things are to tight there. The guy probably knows a lot of people with lots of suits that might let him use one. Dh never has any need for one. He got one for a funeral, but thats long ago and rented for the wedding, but that costs a lot to. This is for the old neighbor who couldn't see or hear but walked and no pills ever. He died before they had to put him in nursing home so that was blessed for him and them The funeral is Wed. If I was Dh, I would have said I'd be honored to But, I'm not sure I have the clothes for that or what is everyone wearing? And when you live way out here, can't just run around and get stuff either.
Well, I think I have to go bed and sure hoping no one calls in but one of the part timer's that fills in tomorrow wasn't at the meeting so I hope she is there for tomorrow. I'll be up until midnight for sure. Have some good sleeps! Yah
Forgot to say there's a ore boat coming into Marq. but you can hardly see it in the fog in that picture It was taken today. Was foggy now also and son said deer on sides of road but they were eating and I sure hope they stay on side of road going through open fields and all to GB. ok, night, Yah
Good Morning ladies,
Our town Garage sale is coming up soon but I am not in a good location here and actually don't have that much to get rid of But I have a room full down South and plan on having one when I get back. I have tons of books but there is a used book store in town and I am going to stop and see what their deal is . I know you can trade or something like that .
DH is playing golf so I will be alone all day. Afterwards they are all going some place soo it will be a long day . Plan on another walk up to CVS that is about the only place close enough to walk too.
I will probably work some more in the yard . I see some weeds in the front at the front window so maybe do that .
No much else plan . Just take it as it comes or I decide .
Good luck on your garage sale , Barb, Hope you get rid of a lot and made oodles of money.
Yah , glad you got to spend some time with your son. Hope that your DH finds a suit he can borrow . We have the same problem here . Every time something comes up that a suit or a nice dress is needed I have to go and buy. And I do not like the fashions of today.
Time to fix breakfast for DH and a smoothie for me .
Sounds like a nice garden that you have there, Angii. I miss not having my garden but I don't miss all of the work. We just don't get enough sun light anymore and our garden space is now full for tree roots. I've planted tomato plants a few times in recent years but had no luck with them. We don't have the right conditions anymore. Enjoy the fruits of your labor.
YAH, maybe your hubby could find a suit at Good Will or someplace like that. Dress has gotten more casual over the years so maybe he doesn't even need one. Sorry to hear about all of the deaths at your work and in your neighborhood. How many residents live in the home where you work? Five seems like a lot of people over one weekend. Guess it must be a big place.
Sound like you've been really busy, Angii. Enjoy your trip and hope Cody does well.
Hope you had a nice anniversary and a good me day, Sue.
Hope Comcast gets you all fixed up today, Molasses. My DD called last night to say that her computer died but is now up and running again after a long phone call with her internet tech support. Not sure how long it will last but for now it's working again. Computers sure are a blessing and a curse.
Hope you can sell the things that you don't want or need anymore, Barb. When is your sale?
Sorry you'll be stuck at home again, Alabama. Hope you get your new car soon. We've had good luck with used cars. I think we've only ever had two brand new ones.
Not much happening here. It was cloudy yesterday so we were able to get all of the grass mowed without frying. I'd like to work on mulching flower beds this week but don't know how well the weather is going to cooperate. They want a couple of inches of rain later in the week and chance of thunder storms all week. We've had our mulch wash away more than once in heavy rains. We have our RFL team meeting tonight so I need to make some food for that today. I am gonna keep it simple. Going to make a pizza casserole, cole slaw and some lemon bars. It's going to be hard to resist since I like it all. Worked on my quilt some more. There's a chance I'll have the quilting done by the end of the week if I keep at it in the evenings. Don't know if I'll get is completely done that soon though. No rush on it, it's just for my sun room wall. Not like I have a deadline.
Well guess that's about it from here. Have a great day.
Barb sorry about the gloomy weather, and this too shall soon pass and you will have sunshiny skies.
Oh no Molasses, what a pain, sure hope they can get it fixed for you.
Oh Angii, I am SOOOOO jealous of that garden you have as I love all of it....except those brussel sprouts and pumpkin LOL
Ah Spokane, I have a very good friend from another board who lives there. We were thinking of moving there (she sent me info and everything) a number of years back. Sending lots of ROARING AND WINNING vibes your way.
We still have a number of SG:1 seasons to do before we get to Atlantis again.
Holy cow on that ice YAH and I hope your son made it safe and sound. Oh no on the passing of the residents. Yikes on your hubby and I am with you, he should of tried that suit on. Hope it all works out for him.
Bama, good luck with the garage sales both here and down south. Enjoy your alone day.
I did Dianna, had a nice me day and anniversary. Have fun with whatever you decide on today.
Well I am off to eat, vacuum and cook,
Well howdy and hope you all are enjoying your day!! Its cloudy and gloomy here again but up to 55 degree's but west wind. Haven't really been out there. Son called from GB but he hadn't got to friends yet. I wish he would have called When he got to the house as I still worry That was about 11:45 pm. Sure glad no call in today and should have got up when I was up, but turned over Dh will have a different color suit i guess as funeral is tomorrow. No time and any good places to look are way over in Marq. so, it is what it is. Wish he would have told they man's son about it I'm not going anyway.
I see sun is trying to peek out but don't think for long. I see bad storms and wind down my DSis' place so should call her later on. By Detroit.
Bama, wish I'd get a day home Alone with no one popping in and out. He's out mostly but I need out for the day or a few days as No room for popping in We've always got used vehicles also, usually under 1,000 bucks even. My van was a few more and lucky we got that little bit from farm then otherwise, would never had got it and it was a friend of Dh's that lowered the price also. Now Dh needs an old truck very bad and a plow on it or put one on. Rust is SO bad up here. Enjoy your walk! Lots of good wishes for your DD on her surgery!
Di, sounds yummy stuff and I hope the weather is great for when you have the RFL.
There are 140 beds in this nursing home and most of these were pretty far up in age also. But there are younger one's also Some you see walking or running their wheelchair around and talking, and then next day they just die! Other's are in bed and in bad shape but take a while so its all so different at the end hey? Course i recognize a lot of the people from this area so it makes it a bit harder. But they come from far away also. There are a few private one's but our's is County so its state owned I guess and really watched I suppose to.
Looks like early starts soon but supervisor wants to try something with washers to go through some cycle faster also before. The only thing is the one washer who has to keep moving always, to stop her from washing after a certain time, as its only an hr. when she goes home to when we go then Since its Nurses week I guess, I got a nice insulated tote bag and water bottle also for gifts for employee's.
Angii, wow, nice garden stuff!! Love the tomatoes of course! I don't know whether to try or not anymore around here. No luck. Good luck and have a lot of fun in Spokane also!
How's your dad doing or do they let you know yet?
Sue, enjoy your day today and watch out for pulling anything or hurting yourself! I am still behind on my cards and all Hope it didn't get To hot there?
Mo, hope the technician can fix it for good! Hope you can enjoy outdoors also
Barb, is it warmer there? people were cold by the lake Sunday but i was ok I guess if you were outside longer and just standing you would have been cold. Son and I were visiting in my van So much ice out there yet though! Hope your enjoying some of it.
Well, better go. I didn't get much more garbage out and thats all gone now. Dh went to check on sump pump at one of the houses for sale. It would have had Lots of water in small basement if he didn't put it all together. I think they will have to go Way down on price though cause it needs new septic etc. and might even be hard with all the rules and regulations and by the river etc. I see I got squirrels again out there. kind of don't like them around to much. better in the woods
Oh, did get 5 inches off my hair for now anyway yesterday. Really hate cutting my hair but it gets to a part where my arms can't go back far or long enough Still can put up though as to hot for me down. I believe in long hair so will not get it cut short short anymore. Wish I had someone to braid it when it was Long But no one around. Just wondered off street in work town to a small place and ended up being a lady from Champion who does hair and has a place way up on hill there with horses. She showed where she is opening up her own salon right down the street from where she works with someone else. I don't know her, but I really like a stranger more doing my hair as then I can tell them more of what i like and not think she might end up saying about me to others in the town Make any sense? Anyway, BBL and enjoy your day!! Yah
Friday night was a very nice one and our DVD of Rocky 4 played wonderfully too. So we are happy campers. Watched Jeopardy and Ken Jennings creamed them....we are hoping he takes the crown this year.
Slept pretty good too and only one pit stop again LOL
Got my normal Saturday stuff done of dusting, getting the towel wash done, cleaning the bathrooms and also washed my bedspread today so that makes the cleaning of the bedroom officially complete LOL
However, today the bed is spread less...I know horrors of horrors LOL
The rags were the last to go in and waiting for the dryer to buzz with the bedspread and hubby can help me fold it and it will go back on Monday morning.
Boy did I do a number on my back today. Thank goodness most of the stuff I had to do was done. I bent over to grab the VHS inserts that come with the tapes to number the DVD of Rocky 4 but went straight down without bending my knees and CRACK, well I saw stars and yikes does it hurt. I took a Bufferin and have been moving but slowly, so I see a heating pad in my future.
I cleaned up our salad for us to make one for dinner tonight, and Chuck pulled my clothes box out from under the bed and so I did the switch from winter in the box and summer stuff out which always means a puffier box LOL cause of the sweaters and it's back under the bed. So Monday will start washing the summer clothes.
Then we hooked up (well hubby did) the wire we got in so we can see where we are on our DVD mixes. It's working out so great and now with being able to write down where we left off to start up again will be even nicer. So we are happy campers.
Got some on line things done I wanted to check, plus we went through our lists on line (wish list, etc) and deleted stuff, added some others, etc. Also set up some plans for ourselves too.
We started one Chuck Norris movie Saturday night but wasn't very enamored any longer so dumped that one and watched the other which was good so that will go on the buy list.
I did take some acteametaphen for my back and had my heating pad on all night too. Felt better but woke me up a couple of times during the night.
Sunday's "me day" "Mother's Day" and anniversary was great. Got a lovely Mother's Day card from Buddy Max along with some kisses and Sunday night Chuck and I exchanged anniversary cards and we took pics of our A-Team, Rocky stuff too.
Of course it was pancake day for Buddy and Tag Team Barbelly, so he was just thrilled.
Enjoyed my bathing and Cherry Blossom time too, along with my facial with my masque.
Did notice that my eyebrows are getting thinner too, along with the bags under my eyes getting more bags LOL Ain't old age grand. NOT! LOL
And OMG did I get a chuckle and a half, after my shower, I am putting my Cherry Blossom cream on and turn around to put some on my rump and what do I see but a bruise...first time for that so I chuckled as I opened the door and asked hubby to do my back and he said what's so funny so I showed him and he said..."How, when" and I said beats me...so we got a laugh over that one.
Had our as usual nice Sunday dinner with a night of CharmedGate and added a Lois & Clark: The Adventures of Superman to the mix since we got started so nice and early. Plus, of course, our 3 scoop Sunday with 2 scoops of Moose tracks ice cream(vanilla ice cream filled with Peanut butter cups and swirled with famous moose tracks fudge and 1 scoop of Death By Chocolate ice cream......mmmm good!
Slept alright Sunday night just woke up on and off and had some very strange dreams.
Monday was able to do my workouts so I was a happy camper, we did up our shopping list and I got Mary to schedule my Handyride and I just said 'No Joe is possible'....so we shall see when we go on Wednesday.
So had to take list time this a.m. but that's done and I got mailed cleared, just a couple to answer after lunch. Got some calls done and some things I needed to check on line too, plus a birthday card to get out today also.
Also got my doctor's office called about the fax number and who to fax it too, as I got the medical release for records a lot faster than the gal in the office said I would.
Unfortunately our temps for Monday were in the high 80s so had the a/c on in the afternoon.
I also got 2 washes of my dresser drawers done too so now I have tank tops and shorts to wear, which we will need with Triple digits starting on Tuesday through Friday....and the weekend will be in the 90s so then too.
Hey our norm right now is 84 (if memory serves me) so shorts are worn LOL
Finally got a hold of the doctor's office and did my fax, but had to call again as dummy me forgot to add something, that's what I get for writing it instead of typing it up. LOL
Well got all my mail cleared and now off to nap time.
I got the door, closet door and baseboards done in the computer room Monday night.
As for today, I got my dusting and vacuuming done, plus we cooked up some pasta dinners and while I was stirring worked on our Master list for staples, right side of the list, etc. Then I worked on my mail and the blog, which unfortunately was giving me fits so rather than 3 articles up, I only got one. Supposed to be fun, when it becomes a headache I go on to something else.
Well we got the last part of our gift for our anniversary in but it was all cracked and damaged and the box looked great so Chuck already wrote to Amazon for the return stuff to be sent.
Have some problems to take off my computer, some to put on (hubby has them) and some things to check on line. Tonight is Hunter night and adding Pacific Blue to the mix so should be a marvelous night.
Shopping tomorrow, so early to bed and early to rise as we have a 9 a.m. pick up as we want to get there....hopefully and get back home as we are headed to triple digits.
Hope you had a good day and the same for this evening,
Boy does this bring back very early life memories back LOL
Afternoon ladies,
YAH hope son makes it to his friends safe and sound and you hear from him again. Well I know your weather isn't great but you don't want to be here today as we are 94 but only 7% humidity so it feels like the 80s. The a/c is one, of course, and has been since the a.m. when we had the pot of boiling water on.
Wishing your hubby well with the suit issues. I see more issues for you on the job, hope everything works out.
Sorry about the garbage. Yikes on the house with the water and all. Sorry about the snipping of your hair. But I feel for you as back in the day my friend has hair like Crystal Gale and she had it snipped up to her backside. Yes, does make sense as with someone you know they get all defensive and hurt, someone you don't know you can be blunt with LOL
Well I am off to nap time.
Getting late to fast again! Still cloudy out there but I think some sun tomorrow? Got to get the big ironing board out and place it somewhere in the aisle here I can't find the tape to iron on again though! I bought some more but I think I left some at other son's as I thought I might have more room there, so not sure what I'll do or wait to go there tomorrow. He has to be Early for him, 7 a.m to work to make out order for food and then help with Cookout as its Nurses week so they have one for tomorrow. Still hoping no call in though
Sue, Loved the comics and best wishes on your ride and shopping to!! I see on FB that son did make it as he's at the Brewer's baseball game Their an hr. behind so it must have just started about an hr. ago. He gains an hour on way down but when he comes back, he loses it which isn't fun. I remember the phone calling to! Couldn't do it to good today with call back and all kinds of ways to get your number hey?
Well, better go. I'm sure Dh will be up early tomorrow. Hopefully he doesn't stick out to much as the only one with different stuff on Dont' know why guys can't ask questions.
Have a good evening Sue and a good night the rest of you since your not that far behind in hrs. like me C U, Yah
Sorry about your back Sue. Hope it is better soon.
YAH, I am sure no one will think anything about the color of your husband's suit. The family will just be glad he was there to help in their time of need. Glad you son arrived safely.
Hi Barb, Angii, Alabama and Molasses.
Got a lot done yesterday. Did our regular laundry. Changed the bedding out for warmer weather, washed the flannel sheets and heavy blanket and put them away until fall. Cleaned up the house. Pulled weeds and mulched the flower bed in the field and around trees over there. Got the paperwork and food ready for our RFL meeting last night. Worked on the quilt in between everything else. Got a lot done at the meeting too. So a very productive day.
Guess today will be errand day. Need to get a few things. Tomorrow will be back to weeding and mulching, weather and knees permitting. Had to quit weeding earlier than I planned yesterday because my knees said enough. It's going to take longer to get the yards whipped into shape this year if that keeps up. Oh well, such is life. No getting any younger. Just have to adapt and find new ways of doing things. Of course it didn't help that I forgot to take my meds in the morning so I didn't get my Celebrex until late afternoon. I am terrible about taking my meds, hope I never need them for anything serious.
Well guess that's it from here. Have a great day all.
It is spitting rain here and had a loud storm last night about 10ish. Got up and checked the patio door as it sounded like it was going some where . All was ok. Not sure if DH will play golf or not with the weather the way it is. Probably not
We had to take our son to work as his car is having some work done . Wanted to have it done while we are here to help out with getting to and from work for both of them .
Not much else going on . No workout for me yet . Had planned on doing it when DH left for golf but may not get it done.
Di sounds like a very full day for you yesterday . Sorry about you knees acting up.
Yah, your man will look just find in his different colored suit. I always hate that when anything happens we have to either go out and buy or borrow something . I had to buy clothes to wear to a wedding last year . Dh since it was warm just wore his dress pants and shirt or we would have had to buy him a suit. By the time I need dress slacks again the ones I bought will either be out of style or too small . Darn maybe if I'm lucky they will be too BIG. Nice thought anyway.
Sue I hope you back is much better today and you have a great shopping trip.
Di , sounds like a full day for you yesterday
Hello Mo, Barb, Angii.
Need to close down as I want to defrag to day. I always forget to leave it on when it's time to .
Good morning, all,
I think it was Thoreau who said to beware of any enterprise that requires new clothes.
Yikes, Bama, that is a high cable bill. Maybe you should try calling to see if they'll lower your bill--they all swore at book club that it works to just call and say, "my bill is too high--what can I do to lower it?" Tell them you are a sr citizen on a fixed income and you'd hate to have to cancel altogether; nothing to lose if they say no. Sorry about missing your workout. The Comcast techs messed me all up yesterday, saying they'd be here between 9 and 11 (my normal workout time) and then not showing up till almost noon.
Hope your weather has improved, Barb, or at least clears up for your yard sale on Sat.
Sounds like a nice garden variety, Angii! I tried starting some Brussels sprouts seeds, but they didn't germinate for me. I've never grown them, but got such a kick out of seeing them on the stalk last fall at the grocery store that I wanted to try.
Neat pic, YAH--I"d have missed the ore boat if you hadn't mentioned it! Glad you were happy with your haircut, and I don't blame you for preferring a stranger. Nice on the tote bag and water bottle, but sorry about having to stand for the meeting and then on the changes.
I hope your back is better now, Sue. I'm sorry about your anniversary gift, but I know Amazon has great customer service, so you shouldn't have any trouble getting it replaced. Wishing you luck with shopping and your ride.
Yay on your productive day yesterday, Dianna, and good luck with your errands today.
I have a dermatologist appt this afternoon. I have a newish (tiny) mole on my leg that I thought was an angioma at first, but took a closer look the other day and it's dark brown, not red, and irregular, not round. Normally I'd probably just watch it for awhile longer, but since we are losing our insurance at the end of the month (thanks to Obamacare, DH's business no longer qualifies as a small business for insurance purposes because it's just him and me, no other employees, so we have to buy an individual policy instead), I figured I'd just get it checked out so I don't have to worry about it later.
Then I think we'll take a drive up to Ikea to check out mattresses. DS will be home on leave in June (yay!) so we'll need a new mattress by then--we've been sleeping in his bed.
I'd better go get ready to work out. Have a great day, everyone!
Well it's shopping day and am tired and my tummy has had better days.
YAH, I love the beautiful good night graphic. Oh no my least favorite thing to do in the world, ironing, good luck and I hope you find the tape you need. Thanks on the shopping and glad to hear son made it there safe and sound. My best to your hubby today too. It should be more important he is there than worrying about attire. I am with you on the guys asking questions. I did have a nice evening.
Dianna, thanks on my back and it's doing much better with the help of meds and my heating pad LOL Wow you had a great day and I have to take the blanket off our bed soon. Just waiting as they say another cool down next week. Good luck today with errands and sorry about the knees.
Yuck on the rain and storm, Bama, glad you were able to help your son out too. Thanks on the shopping trip and as I said to Dianna, the back is all better again.
Molasses, the back is all better, but thanks and yes Amazon already fixed the problem and very quickly and nicely too. Yes, their CS is excellent. Thanks on the good shopping and ride vibes.
Good luck at the dermatologist, Molasses, I have my appointment next Tuesday.
Well I am off,
Laughing Whitefish Falls. All the Falls around are really going good now. Wish I could get out there to see them but some flooding of side roads also. Good Morning all! Got up at 6:30 a.m this morning but now i'm getting tired already. Didn't go bed early I guess. Its a sunny morning though and probably go up to 60 at least but not sure of wind. Feels cool when I opened the patio door so far. There are clouds coming to so not sure if partly cloudy later.
Well I got email back from DD of the guy who died and she had been for 5 days to Chicago for DDs graduation after her dad died so she got home last night! She said whatever he's comfortable wearing Well, he's not comfortable with a suit etc. at all but he will just wear the one he can fit in that I got, his white new shirt etc. His only tie is striped and its a different dark blue with something in it for the suit so not sure if it goes together but if you Have to wear a tie, which I'm not sure of, thats it They probably think everyone has a black suit for funerals and weddings hey? Dh has a nice dark gray with pin stripes but don't fit right now. He's happy he doesn't have to be there until 12:30 a.m so he doesn't have to wait a few hrs. until the service. Otherwise it opens at 10 a.m.
I will have to go to son's house to hem these pants with tape as I can't find any here! Probably more room anyway. Would be nice if I could thread needles better and faster but I can't. Son had to go work for 7 a.m so he will be home early today. Am making more coffee to bring along to wake me up or put me to sleep
Di, have a good errand day and boy!, you sure got a lot done yesterday!! I have my few pills and vitamins right where I sit so I don't forget and usually even put them out on table the night before so I don't go work without taking them also Hoping you have a good day for the yard tomorrow!
Bama, sorry about the rain and all. Oh, I never follow styles either. Just want to find a dress I am very comfortable with and hard to do that when you don't fit in any. I got the fat in the Wrong places! I wish I had some hand me downs from someone my size these days! Dont' know anyone to borrow from either Wish there were many more sewer's out there so it would be cheaper to but there aren't. Forgot to say I think the movie I was watching the other day was "Sisters" on Lifetime
Mo, I've heard that to. Bama should say she's thinking of canceling and usually they come up with a better offer then Yes, it was a ghost ship with all the fog hey? Hope your mole is an ok one. I've got quite a few but don't like going in i guess and not sure of my ins. anymore for dermatologists either. Would have to go Mrq. for all of it also. Just can't push myself in that way Have a good day!
Sue, hope your back still feels better and you have a good day to!
Angii and Barb, hope your enjoying what you have planned for today to and have nicer weather also Better go now, BBL, Yah
Yesterday was a crazy busy day so I didn't make it here. I took Charger to the park, then had follow up with my newest client, then I ran out to see Dad. He is doing fine. He misses home but says he likes it there. They are having a DOG show on Thursday so I am thinking about taking Charger out to show him off!
I only have a min now as I am meeting a friend at the park before it gets too hot so I better run!
Yep we have done that on our cable many times and they do lower it some. Here in Ohio we can only get Time Warner so I usually threaten to go to dish or direct.
Yah I understand about dresses . I don't have the body for them any more. so I usually wear slacks and a nice top. I also have use the iron on tape for hemming my slacks Works great . I'll have to check out that movie . I always forget lifetime and I don't think we get hallmark here .
Well we called to see if we could come and drive the PT Crusier but the guy is going out of town (VEGAS) and won't be back until next Thursday . So I am looking else where I think. It seems we can not get together on it . So maybe I am not supposed to get that one. It a private owned carlot in a very small village so I guess he dosnt need to make a sale . Had been there since the 80's so been around a long time. Anyway I will do some other looking .
Cold today heat may be coming back on.
Crazy weather here. Yesterday it was in the 90's. Today it's only in the mid 60's. Tomorrow supposed to be in the 80's then back to the 60's for a week. I picked up two flats of impatiens today and need to get them in the ground before the heavy rain comes. Also want to make up some hanging baskets. I don't want to plant them when it's hot but I want to get them taken care of before the rains come tomorrow night and Friday.
Sorry you can't connect with the car guy, Alabama. Hope you find something else that you like.
Yep, I just love how people give you a time but don't show up then, Molasses. Hope the mole turns out to be nothing. Bummer on the insurance.
I can't find dresses either, YAH. I've got too many bulges in the wrong places. Plus I like to be a lot more covered up than today's styles allow. Hope the changes at work go smoothly for you.
Good to hear that you dad is doing well and adjusting to his new home, Angii.
Glad your back is better and you are getting the gift taken care of, Sue. I've never bought anything from Amazon but DD and SIL seem happy with them.
Hope you are getting warmer weather and can get out and do things that you enjoy, Barb.
Well better go get supper put together. Prayer meeting tonight and will likely work on the quilt some after I get home.
Have a good evening all.
Well Tuesday night was a fabulous one, we had a light dinner so were done super early and I also got the safe cleaned, plus the file cabinet and the outside of the storage cabinet too (the inside is one of those projects for us LOL). It's got paper, pens, DVDs, CDs and a lot of office kind of stuff, some of which can be now dumped. I did reorganize it about 2 years ago, but now with no doing any business plus just some things we can toss, or donate. Tried to call a friend also last night too, but got the answering machine, so we shall see if I get a return call.
In any case as I said we got a nice early start and so got a Hunter in, Pacific Blue and then I grabbed Renegade too, plus we got another one of the A-Team disks done too.
Took a while to go to sleep and my tummy was a bit upset last night. Both of us were 'repeating from dinner' so woke up this a.m. with a big gas bubble in my tummy. I am not supposed to take any supplements until 4 hours after my thyroid meds, and my other meds too. But since I didn't want to cancel I took a gas pill and a Tum and did feel a bit better. It was about 2 to 2.5 hours. Such is life.
AS FOR THE GROCERY REPORT....and our RIDES.....first, the rides, were 25 minutes into our 30 minute window so I called and got a gal I never spoke to before, but told her my name and asked how much longer but before she could check, Chuck yelled that the bus was here. So he went out to tell him we'd be out in about 3 minutes. I came off the house oxygen and went onto my tank, we said our good-byes to the Budster and off we went.
It was a driver we have had before, just not for a while and he's fairly new so one of those that 'follows' the schedule and mind you we were 5 minutes away from Winco and went almost to downtown to pick this other guy up and then dropped us off and he had to go back again where he came from to take this guy somewhere in that vicinity....YEAH....not the brightest bulb....but then he is a newbie and the drivers there for a while will do it THEIR WAY...
I can't count the number of times I have said to drivers that they office staff that makes up these schedules should be required to be a driver for a month and follow this
a$inine way they do it.
In any case we got to Winco about 10 a.m. and had an 11:15 a.m. pick up.....
SO ON TO THE GROCERY REPORT......first up, our lettuce which looked good and was 1.18 a head. It was also our first meeting with a lovely lady about our age. She was looking for lettuce too and of course we pick through it...hey for a buck eighteen I am fussy. So I had those I rejected in a small area and she said I will forego those and I said yeah as one has a soft spot. LOL
Then we took off for our other shopping, crackers, pasta sauce, salad dressing for Chuck not me....and lo and behold we met our lovely lady again and we laughingly said we have to stop meeting like this. We met her again on the pasta isle too and we all looked at one another and just smiled and laughed. Next time up we met her on the ice tea isle and she introduced us to her husband and he was a hoot too. Chuck and I said why can't we meet a nice couple like that. While it wasn't on the list, my raspberry ice tea was on a good sale, so we got one.
We did well with the list, got everything on it and I checked some things, corn on the cob (the frozen stuff by Green Giant....they are very good) and their price was very good for 12 half cobs in the package. Got our OJ which was on sale.
My PB was on sale too along with a couple more things on the list, so we were happy campers. In fact today with getting the ice tea we came out even steven with our amounts to the dollar with what it cost us. So we were very happy.
And the kicker who do we meet up with again as we are checking out....yes the lovely lady and her hubby...as she said "what are the odds of us being at the same checkout on either side" I said, let's got to Vegas and see and her hubby said I'm up for it. Turns out they are originally from England and we chit chatted and they asked if we had ever been there and I said yes for a layover before going on to Spain so got to see Big Ben and the changing of the guards.
So a very nice time at the store. While many make fun of our town here, we have some of the nicest people around. We lived in Sacramento and have to say the people here are much nicer and friendlier.
So outside we went to wait we were early by 15 minutes and about 10 minutes in a bus shows up and it's a lady we get a lot but she shook her head, opened the door and said, sorry no she had a drop off.
So I walked back and then a couple minutes later (in fact the other lady was just going up the parking lot) another bus shows up and it's one of our favorite drivers (in fact the one who is doing a mortgage thingy (I forgot the name for it) with his mom and his house, his mom initiated it and now he's dealing with it LOL). Last time we saw him was when he took us to Savemart and told us all about it and that was about 6 months ago. He had been out with a bad back, so we chit chatted about our back woes among one another and we went straight home, so we made great time.
Got the stuff unloaded, washed and changed, had lunch and we will be off to an early nap today as we all are tired. Buddy was still sleeping when we came in and not even barking up a storm.
What isn't helping it's hot here today we even dumped the a/c to 78 as we usually keep it at 80.
Well that's it for theGROCERY AND TRIP REPORT.....not as exciting today as we didn't need that much and it was our mid month trip.
I am off to check my mail and boards before it's time for comics and crackers and then a blessed nap...but first I have to stop typing and let Buddy smell my breath (I have an orange Life Saver in my mouth) then of course, pet and rub his neck and head while he lays down next to me LOL Such a sweetie pie!
Hope you had a good day and same for this evening,
Afternoon again ladies,
Love the pic of Laughing Whitefish Falls, YAH. Let's hope your day turned out nice weather wise and you felt more energetic.
Glad the clothing (suit) issue was taken care of for your hubby. I would imagine his just being there is more important than what he wears.
Even when it was stylish to be in style, I was always a very conservative dresser, and in later years I got worse and I wore longer dresses and skirts and dresses. Never ever wore pants to work at all (well once but I told you about that as I was sitting on the floor and after all the brouhaha about me all over the nursing PA system, hey never saw it again)
I see you had a crazy day, Angii, but glad you got yourself a new client, got to take Charger to the park and best of all your dad is doing well and likes where he is.
I am just the opposite Bama, I'd rather be in a dress than jeans and/or shorts.
Bama, I'd say the car gods are telling you to look elsewhere.
Just hot weather here Dianna, glad you got some of the plants you wanted. Oh Dianna, we love Amazon and their CS is great. We are all taken care of and they will ship it in 1 day to us (they pick up the tab). Plus we don't have to take the time to send the others back.
Well this is very strange as NO ONE got here before me...it's 8:47 a.m. my time here so almost noon time back east.
Hope all is well with all of you and you are just busy.
Busy day, so will say HI and BYE and check back later,
Good Morning almost afternoon here,
Wow is it cold . We had to put the heat back on. Only in the low fifties and raining . Not liking it at all.
Di, I haven't had any trouble with Amazon either . Very good CS as Sue says . I bought a cover/case for my Kindle from them and it didn't fit and I wrote and they told me to keep the case but they would give me credit on my next purchase . Didn't mind that at all.
We had to take my Son to work this morning so I rode along and got a late start but am all caught up now.
Saturday going to my DD's as it is her towns Spring Fling . They have one in the Spring and also one in September. Over 450 booths of Crafts . I am so excited as I love to see what all every one can do. Sometimes I don't buy anything but sometimes I do . LOL. The town is very old with most of the old stores etc still there . A picturesque town for sure . Of course all the modern stuff on the outskirts. They even have a street and the local cemetery is named after my ancestors . Quite interesting little town . So it will be fun but cold. Darn it. I use to go every year when I lived here with my girlfriends from work so this will be fun since I haven't been forever.
Sue you can send some of that hot weather here . I 'll take it.
Yep I still don't know what we are going to do about the car . DH says maybe we will just buy a new one as his is getting a lot of miles on it But we will buy one that I want . He likes a bigger car as he hauls all the golf buddies and their clubs when they golf . So we shall see what we decide. and I don't want to drive the car he has now . I want a smaller one but not to small .
Angii glad you Dad is getting along and seems to be happy . Is it close by so that you are able to stop in now and then . I think that is the worse thing for those in Nursing Homes etc is not to have family around now and then. I know my DD use to take her one Husky to visit at one near her house and they just loved it when she and Winsor would drop in . That was before she had a child now she doesn't have time nor have all her Huskies . Just little dogs now.
Happy Thursday everyone I haven't mention and hope you are warmer than I . I need to go get a sweat shirt as it is cold by the windows.
Morning ladies, (it is still morning for me) We went to the park early again as we are also having a heat wave. I need to take my herbalife flyers out to the camper and my herbalife stuff so if I have people interested I can get them started! Then Charger and I are going out to the care facility this afternoon as they are having a dog show! It should be fun, and he is nice and worn out from playing at the park this morning with his buddies.
We will be leaving in the morning and not back until late Sunday, so I hope that everyone has a good weekend!
Please say a prayer for my friend Amy who is going in for surgery on Friday to have her shunt removed now that she is done with Chemo.
Bama, have fun at the fair! That sounds like a lot of fun. We are about a half hour away from the facility that Dad is in. So not an easy stop in and say HI. But it will all work out eventually, I will get into a routine and get it figured out.
Sue, love the squirrel picture, and it sounds like you did well at the store, sorry about the funky ride though. Some people just amaze me with the lack of common sense! I guess it should be called common anymore! LOL
Yah, I hope you enjoy your weekend and you don't work to hard.
Di, I hope that all is well with you!
Mo, how did the appoints go this week?
Barb, I hope you are still getting good weather! I will share some hot air too as we are supposed to hit 90's today. I am loving it, but refuse to turn the AC on right now! I am sure we will have it on this weekend in the camper though!
Well I am off to see what jobs have been posted today and print some more herbalife flyers for a competition next week!
Hi, everyone,
I seriously am feeling like there are not enough hours in the day. Yesterday after the dermatologist (my mole is just a mole--nothing to worry about), we went to Ikea and bought a new mattress. I hope it's as comfortable as it seemed in the store--we put it on the bed, but I want to let it sit for a few days before we sleep on it. There's no odor, but just in case it needs to off-gas. . . . I also bought 4 nice cobalt blue salad bowls, although I had to look at almost every bowl in the store as most were made in China. These aren't American-made, but Thailand is better than China anyway. By the time we got home, it was dinner time, so the whole afternoon was shot.
I wanted to go to Lenscrafters, too, but that will have to wait for another day. I had gotten glasses there in March, and they have a 90 day guarantee, where you can return them if you don't like them (as long as they are in excellent condition). I've hardly worn them because they are the trendy plastic frames, not the wires I usually get. Without the little nose-pads, they push on the bridge of my nose, leaving a big dent. I paid way too much for them to just throw them in the linen closet.
Enjoy your weekend, Angii! You should have a t-shirt made that says, "I owe this change to Herbalife!"
The Spring Fling sounds really neat, Bama, and I'm sure you'll really have fun with your DD.
Cute squirrel, Sue. I tried to get a picture of the bunny yesterday, but I was using my phone, which doesn't have a zoom. If you really squinted, you could see the bunny in amongst the leaves!
Hope you got your impatiens in, Dianna. I've got my seedlings out to harden off since it's kind of overcast here.
What's the weather looking like for your sale, Barb? How is Murphy feeling?
Glad the wardrobe issue worked out for your DH, YAH. My DH has a couple suits, but not a black one, since I'm not a fan of them! You are right though, people probably expect you to have one for a funeral or wedding.
I'd better get back to it here. Have a great day, everyone!
We only had one or two nice days last weekend and now it's back to cold and gloomy. I'm hoping the rain holds off for the garage sale. My GFs think I have my books priced too high. $1 and $2 and maybe $5 for a nice coffee table book. What do you think? I'm not about to re-price 6 boxes of books so I guess I'll just have to put up a half price sign. I'm really not looking forward to this at all, but I want the stuff gone.
Had a lovely evening yesterday at a friend's beautiful home on a lake celebrating one of her daughter's college graduation and birthday.
Not much else going on. I need to clean but I would rather read a book. GF is coming over to help with the sale though, so I'd better get some cleaning done.
Have a good day, and have a great trip, Angii!
Barb, from my experience you have to make them cheap . I had some very expensive Taste of Home hard back recipe books and couldn't even get 3.00 for them . Sad to say . I usually put 50 cents on soft cover and 2 on hard back. It's just hard to say . I usually put 1.00 on my clothes to get rid of them .Good luck . I'm sure people will ask if you will take less. They always do at mine. I had some things
mark 25 cents and they ask if I would take 10 cents.
I had a 130 dollar wind suit from Liz claybough and had 10 on it and finally I sold it for 5 to get rid of it . I had never worn it but my DH bought it for me and actually did pay 130 for it. He no longer buys me clothes. LOL. You just never no about garage sales . I have friends that seem to get top dollar but I never have . I guess the idea is to get rid of it so let it go for what you can get . Better then putting it back where ever it was to start. I never keep anything that doesn't sale I always pack it up and take it to our rescue mission.
You might want to try some items on ebay or if your area has a group on face book to sell things . We have several and there is no charge to post your items .
Well I finally got to post so Good Afternoon I guess! I tried later this morning but could not get anywhere. First time that happened ever. There's a lot of geese everywhere now. I guess their later going up north this year It is snowing a little right now!! I know it called for maybe some snow tomorrow earlier but it is now also cloudy and cold Guess no Spring for us hey Barb? Lilac tree's are hardly budding yet so I hope what is will not die off now again.
Dh went to cemetary and helped with the casket and all again. Not all of them were there for this, but it was a little bit of a service and everyone, plus Dh got to put a few shovels of dirt in there. Then the family kept on doing it as I guess they do it all in their church and rake it smooth at end. The guy had a nice life and had a Very good job at the mine until in 1986 or so and retired but I remember him always working as a carpenter until the very last yrs. when he lost his sight more. Beautiful carpenter like his son is. His wife died 10 yrs. ago.
I see where a N.A's bf who was only 34 yrs. old had a stroke so age doesn't matter much does it? Hope he can get back to normal.
Sue, I know I was wondering why no one had posted to but that was the problem for me, couldn't! Hope your day and back is going well also?
Bama, a bit colder here I think. Sounds like a fun thing for Spring there! I didn't get to the craft sale on Mother's day weekend as usual Starting to get more rummage sales here but I hate going alone so I don't. Hope you get a car soon
Mo, glad mole was ok I would just love to have a normal twin size bed Maybe next place No room here. Hope your mattress works wonders for you! My son comes back from GB tonight but I'm thinking he will make it home to Marq. as nothing better than sleeping in your own bed before having to work the next day! And he has a really good one compared to any here I do have his 3 pants hemmed though!! I did them the old fashion way, with needle and thread by hand. There was NO tape for ironing a hem on anywhere, only instant for very temporary hem etc.
Angii, You go girl and Enjoy your weekend which I'm sure you will!! Praying for very good things to happen for your business also!
Barb, good luck in your rummage sale also and no matter what price you have, there are those who have to try to get it lower so you might as well keep it up And then lower it Crazy weather!
Better go and cook something since I know son will also stop in to pick up pants and he has to pick up his clean stuff over his DB's house since I didn't haul them here.
Sue, Love the picture!! Jade has been running off the squirrels on deck when she does go out there. She can't catch anything anyway Glad your shopping trip went well except for the longer ride with driver. Sounds like a nice couple and to bad they were from so far away! I love chats in grocery stores to
Mo, I hope you get some comfortable glasses to! I should go in for exam but I guess we will be waiting on hearing about the bill for Dh's exam now. Although I have quite a few from the store as I have pretty good sight.
Take care all and hope you had a nice day to Di? Have some good sleep tonight also and I do hope no one calls in for me to. I do work Sat. and then more next week again. Yah
Yah that is very good advice . Make it more than you want cause they always try to to get it for less.
I usually do DH's pants by hand also . Just depends on the fabric sometimes I sew by machine .
Mine I use the iron on tape . so easy and quick
Had a nice productive day...
Bama, we love Amazons' CS and we have been told to keep stuff too and they will credit and also told to keep too, when we explain we need them to send a box that can be given to the carrier as we don't drive and they have just told us to keep and they have resent the item (usually disks in this case that came damaged).
Oh the Spring Fling sounds wonderful and so does the town.
Blowing 30 to 40 degrees your way Bama, we have it to spare.
Good luck with the car purchase, I am with your hubby, I like them big!
Angii, good idea on the flyers and I hope Charger got properly tuckered out before the dog show...that sounds like fun for him as he's sounds very friendly and a good citizen to boot.....compliments of his mom and dad.
My prayers go out to your friend Amy, Angii.
Yeah doesn't seem like most today have any common sense.
Glad you enjoyed Mr. Squirrel.
Sending good job vibes out to you Angii.
Glad the mole was nothing, Molasses. I go next Tuesday...hoping I get the same.
Hope the mattress works out alright and yikes on the bowl, yes Thailand or Japan is much better. Hard to find anything American made anymore.
That's what we get for allowing companies to move overseas for the cheap labor and not penalizing them when they send it back here.
Glad you like Mr. Squirrel, Molasses and bummer on the bunny!
I was lucky they are very friendly here and we have one every year that comes to our tree in front and a bunch to the trees across the street.
Barb, sorry about the weather and if I were you, I'd tried some of the Book resellers on line you might get more money. I think even Amazon has one too.
Glad you had such a nice evening at your friends place and have to say I'd rather read a book too!
Love the pic of the lake and the ducks, YAH. HUGS on the weather. Yup day went well and back is alright. Glad you enjoyed Mr. Squirrel too. Yes I imagine Jade is shooing them away.
Well off to nap time,

Milwaukee Brewers complete three game series
milwaukee brewers April 8th, 2012
The 2012 Milwaukee Brewers season is here and it started with a bang!
No, that won't work.
The 2012 Milwaukee Brewers season is here and the Brewers have come out swingin'!
No, no, that won't work either.
The 2012 Milwaukee Brewers season is here and... yeah, it's here.
The excitement surrounding Opening Day was arguably at an all-time high. Fresh off a division championship and a playoff run that saw them fall just two wins shy of the World Series, the Brewers were set to capture the hearts and minds of Milwaukee again. The roster was different, but in a lot of ways it was better and the expectations were at an all-time high. The Brewers walked into Opening Day with their heads held high and the fans eating out of the palms of their hands. Each and every one of them filled with excitement and ready to begin their quest towards that elusive World Series. The wait was over. The time was now. The second largest crowd in Miller Park history was in attendance for the biggest Opening Day in Brewers history.
They lost 11-5 to the Cardinals. Read the rest of this entry »

Living in Manhattan, I'm always surprised when I somehow manage to stumble upon a bad restaurant, a moody store owner or just generally bad customer service. The reason it surprises me is that there are so many good restaurants and retail establishments in Manhattan. With so much excellent competition, I don't know how the good ones stay in business, much less the bad ones.
Plus, New Yorkers are notoriously… um… particular, which makes it all the more wonderful when an establishment is able to stand out above the rest. I'm speaking, of course, about that wonderful New York City bastion of grocery excellence, Fairway. What began as a fruit and vegetable stand in 1933 is now a nine-store juggernaut of high-quality food in the greater NYC area.
But that's not what makes Fairway great. First of all, it seems like I always go grocery shopping at the wrong day or time. I'm always bumping elbows at the deli counter, dodging baguettes by the bakery or having my toes run over by stroller-pushing mothers in full yoga regalia. Fairway is great in spite of all that, much of which I attribute to my poor planning anyway. That's because pretty much every employee I've ever encountered at Fairway has been helpful and human.
I'll give you an example. One day I decided to go to Fairway right after work. As every working person is wont to do after work, I was rushing to get home. So I gathered my jerk turkey, dark chocolate with mint, greek yogurt and honey-glazed almonds, and jumped in the express line.
The customer in front of me was completely bonkers. One of those women of ambiguous age with an alien-esque stretched face and stringy hair, she was losing her mind because the cashier accidentally added an extra zero to some quantity of vegetables, making the grand total something around $400 for her handful of items. The cashier, handling a barrage of insults, patiently explained to the customer that she would get a manager to simply void the transaction. The manager came quickly, and, before voiding the transaction, asked the cashier what happened.
It was too much for the customer to handle. She kept screaming "I refuse to pay that much!" After voiding the transaction, the manager then offered the lady free delivery. I would have called a NYC Animal Control Officer to "crate" her for a while. When the debacle was over, and it was my turn at the register, the cashier and I looked at each other and both burst out laughing. It was a little slice of humanity indicative of what I always find at Fairway and supporting what Fairway says about itself: "Fairway: LIKE NO OTHER MARKET."

The program will be a compelling panel discussion and presentation led by Bryan Reed, associate professor of history and department chair for social sciences at Cleveland State Community College.
Reed, who is also president of the Bradley County Historical & Genealogical Society, will focus the program on Black History Month. Last month, Reed presented "From Slavery to Freedom: Charleston African Americans after the Civil War." He discussed how Charleston families had to adjust and transition after the Civil War and emancipation of slaves. This month will be a follow up discussion of this topic.
Reed was invited in June to present his research on the life of Clinton Calloway, at the prestigious National Rosenwald Schools Conference in Tuskegee, Ala. A Cleveland native, Calloway was a key figure in the development of Rosenwald Schools and a champion of educational advancement for African Americans.
"Bryan is one of our community's leading researchers of African American history. We are so fortunate to have his knowledge and expertise here in our communities," said Melissa Woody, CCH Historical Society member and development chair.
"He has uncovered stories about local African American families that have never before been researched or written. His presentation will mention many family names familiar to most of us who live in the area."
The group meets each month on the third Sunday at 3 p.m. at various locations in the Calhoun and Charleston communities. Membership is only $10 per year and comes with special discounts at the groups events throughout the year.
Anyone interested in membership or receiving emails regarding meetings or activities, please contact Darlene Goins at 423-336-2763 or firstname.lastname@example.com or Faye Callaway at 423-336-5694.

Social media maven Meagan Adele Lopez tackles the Instagram debacle.
If you like taking photos on your iPhone, chances are you use Instagram. If you've used Instagram at all this week (and updated it), you probably have seen a pop up that indicates the User Privacy Policy and Terms of Service will be changed as of January 19th, and then a couple of days later noticed that they changed it again based on "your feedback."
On Tuesday, headlines were screaming Instagram Can Sell Your Photos Under New Policy from NBC Chicago, or Instagram Can Now Sell Your Photos for Ads from CNN Money. One thing was clear, users were angry. Users did NOT want their photos to be sold. Users started petitions. Celebrities, such as Photojournalist Ben Lowy and the #1 Instagram User (nope, not Justin Bieber), Kim Kardashian, threatened to take down their accounts. National Geographic suspended its account.
Suddenly, Instagram cried, "That's not what we meant!" We, the users and the press, misinterpreted their words, and they were working furiously to modify the terms once again. Of course they care about us, but they are also a business designed to make money, they said.
Finally, founder, Kevin Systrom, wrote on Instagram's blog just yesterday: "Because of the feedback we have heard from you, we are reverting this advertising section to the original version that has been in effect since we launched the service in October 2010. You can see the updated terms here…I want to be really clear: Instagram has no intention of selling your photos, and we never did. We don't own your photos – you do."
We've become used to privacy changes with Facebook but keep using it, almost to a fault of our own. However, I don't think users were quite on the same level with Instagram as they were with Facebook. Their entire social media presence is not centered around Instagram; it simply makes up a small slice of their social media pie. The thing that Instagram (i.e. Facebook) didn't take into account when changing the terms and conditions on its users so abruptly was this very thing. For two social media sites (Facebook and Instagram) where encouraging user participation and feedback is paramount to its own success, they sure did a bad job of knowing, or even asking, their users what they wanted.
And that's not cool.
Alas, there are other amazing photo-sharing apps with even cooler filters. Flickr, owned by Yahoo and co-founded by Caterina Fake and Steward Butterfield, was the most popular photo-sharing site of its time in 2002 (when mass-uploading photos could potentially take hours), and had the foresight to update its mobile app just last week. It slowly dwindled in numbers when they started charging a small fee to upload past a certain gigabyte, and Facebook took over. Now it's primed to win again. (I've always liked the come-back kids. Right, MySpace?). For other options, try Path, BeFunky, or even Twitter's new Photo Image Filter.


text: By Brian Liskai - All Star Championship Racing, Inc.(Attica, OH) The stars of the University of Northwestern Ohio (UNOH) All Star Circuit of Champion Sprint Car Series will duke it out with the tough weekly competitors of Attica Raceway Park during the 22nd Annual HD Supply Spring Nationals on Friday and Saturday, March 29th and 30th. The event kicks off the UNOH All Star's "northern tour" and the Ohio Region of the series and has drawn some of the top stars in racing including three-time NASCAR Sprint Cup Champion Tony Stewart and NASCAR star Kasey Kahne. Several Pennsylvania teams and World of Outlaw teams have shown up for the Spring Nationals as well. "Attica Raceway Park is one of the most exciting tracks the All Stars compete at. With the level of competition that races there every week, and the loyal, intelligent fans that come there, coupled with is its history and proximity to other hot beds of racing….the Spring Nationals has become a 'must see' event in the Midwest region," said Guy Webb, President of the UNOH All Stars. "It's early enough in the season you just don't know who will show up. And from what we are hearing, the Ohio Region of the All Stars could be one of the most competitive and exciting in the history of the series." After two UNOH All Star events have been completed in 2013 at Bubba Raceway Park in Ocala, Florida, three-time series champion and 2012 Ohio Region champion Dale "The Low Rider" Blaney of Hartford, Ohio, leads the UNOH All Star point standings. Blaney, who has 93 career All Star wins, just five away from tying hall of famer Kenny Jacobs for most wins in series history, opened the 2012 Spring Nationals with a last lap win and sits fifth on Attica's all-time with list with 16 victories. Blaney also have five victories in Spring Nationals competition. Watertown, Connecticut's David Gravel, who has been filling in for the injured Bill Rose along the World of Outlaws trail as of late, recording solid top 10 runs, is currently second in the All Stars national points. Tim "The Steel City Outlaw Shaffer of Aliquippa, Pa. , comes into the Spring Nationals third in the series points. Shaffer has won the last four straight All Star championships, a feat only accomplished by Jacobs and Chad Kemenah. Shaffer does have a 360 sprint win in 2013. Shaffer, who sits sixth on the All Stars' all-time win list with 51 victories, has 10 career wins at "Ohio 's Finest Racing" speed plant. Pennsylvania 's Lance Dewease, in a new ride for 2013, sits fourth the All Star points, and claimed the series' eastern region champion in 2011 and has one career win at Attica . Rounding out the series top five is four series and Attica rookie of the year Cap Henry from nearby Bellevue, Ohio. Henry had a break-out season with the All Stars in 2012, nearly claiming several wins, including a Speedweek event at Attica . Round out the All Stars' top 10 in points are Paul McMahan, Logan Schuchart, Danny Dietrich, Danny Holtgraver and Steve Buckwalter. Holtgraver scored his first UNOH All Star win at Attica to open the Ohio Speedweek in 2012, and went on to record 3 series wins in 2013. And while the Attica Spring Nationals has drawn some of the biggest names in racing, it's the tough weekly competition that makes the event so exciting. In the 2012 HD Supply Spring Nationals, Blaney opened with a last lap pass of Attica's 2012 track champion Craig Mintz for the win. On the second night, Mintz, who has 8 career wins at Attica, executed a last lap pass of Stevie Smith, a 2005 Spring Nationals winner, for his first ever All Star win.Then throw in six-time Attica champion Byron Reed, who has two Spring National wins, Greg Wilson, a two-time All Star champion and three-time Spring Nationals winner with 19 career victories at Attica, 2011 and 2012 F.A.S.T. (Fremont Attica Sprint Title) Champion Bryan Sebetto who has 7 career wins at Attica, former track champion Dean Jacobs and a host of other tough weekly and regional competitors and you have a recipe for excitement. For gate times, admission prices and more for the 22nd Annual HD Supply Spring Nationals at Attica Raceway Park go to www.atticaracewaypark.com.

Where wars erupt, suffering and hardship invariably follow. Conflict is the breeding ground for mass violations of human rights including unlawful killings, torture, forced displacement and starvation.
In conflicts across the globe, governments and armed groups routinely attack civilians and commit war crimes and terrible abuses of human rights.
And yet, even in war there are rules that all sides are legally bound to obey. International humanitarian law (IHL), also known as the laws of armed conflict or the laws of war, has developed in order to mitigate the effects of such conflict. It limits the means and methods of conducting military operations. Its rules oblige combatants to spare civilians and those who no longer participate in hostilities, such as soldiers who have been wounded or have surrendered. IHL applies only during armed conflict; human rights law applies in war and peace.
But powerful nations have shown a sinister willingness to manipulate international institutions or apply double standards, often arming forces known to commit mass abuses while disclaiming responsibility for the carnage.
Although international organizations such as the United Nations have advanced in their capacity to monitor and report on human rights in conflict situations, few perpetrators of mass abuses against civilians are held accountable.
Continuing violence feeds on unresolved grievances arising from years of destructive conflict and this failure to hold perpetrators of grave abuses to account.
Amnesty International does not take sides in conflicts and has no opinion on borders. Our work in situations of armed conflict concentrates on documenting and campaigning against human rights abuses and violations of IHL, no matter who commits them.
Internal conflicts
The vast majority of armed conflicts today are internal. Many internal conflicts have persisted for decades, despite significant international efforts to find solutions.
These conflicts are often triggered by issues of identity, ethnicity, religion and competition for resources, particularly oil and mineral wealth.
In Afghanistan, the escalating conflict has resulted in death and injury to thousands of civilians. War crimes have been committed by all parties to the conflict, including international and Afghan security forces, and the Taleban.
Perpetuating violence
In Iraq, security forces are committing rather than preventing sectarian violence. The Iraqi justice system is woefully inadequate and the worst practices of Saddam Hussein's regime – torture, including rape, extra-judicial executions, unfair trials and capital punishment – continue.
There have been frequent allegations of human rights violations by US and UK soldiers but few prosecutions and convictions.
At least a dozen countries in Africa have been affected by armed conflict over the last year, despite numerous peace and international mediation processes. In all of them civilians suffered human rights abuses, and the most affected were women, children and elderly people.
What Amnesty International is doing
AI calls on all warring parties to respect IHL and human rights, and emphasises to state forces and armed groups that targeting civilians can never be justified.
Amnesty International campaigns for an end to impunity for war crimes and crimes against humanity.
We are campaigning to curb the proliferation of small arms fuelling conflict and abuses, including lobbying for the adoption of a global Arms Trade Treaty.
Amnesty International campaigns for international peacekeepers to protect civilians in Darfur and eastern Chad, and has urged its supporters across the world to write to Sudanese MPs, calling on them to take a stand against the atrocities happening in their country.
Amnesty International is also actively campaigning to end the recruitment of child soldiers and to ensure that they are demobilized and reintegrated into society.
We are lobbying the UN for strengthened protection of civilians, including strict adherence to human rights and humanitarian law in peacekeeping efforts.
Progress on accountability
The International Criminal Court (ICC) was established in 2002 to prosecute people accused of genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes. It offers the hope that some of the perpetrators of the worst crimes committed in armed conflicts will be brought to justice. It has been hailed by governments, legal experts and civil society as the most significant development in international law since the adoption of the United Nations Charter. Amnesty International has been actively involved in all stages of the establishment of the Court.
The ICC has issued arrest warrants for people accused of war crimes and crimes against humanity committed in armed conflicts in Democratic Republic of Congo, Sudan (Darfur), and Uganda.
International tribunals established to try serious crimes committed in Former Yugoslavia, Rwanda, and Sierra Leone have brought to justice leaders who have committed war crimes, crimes against humanity and genocide.
In December 2006, an overwhelming majority of states voted at the UN General Assembly to consider the question of a universal and legally binding Arms Trade Treaty, a landmark step towards greater accountability of the arms trade..
