Yea, It's the weekend .
Hope it's productive for all of us.
Oh my Golly . I have been awake since 3 am. No good! Maybe I'll get a lot accomplished.
Good morning,
Thanks for opening, Alabama. Sorry about the early wake up this morning.
Nothing new to report here. I may have ended up light on my water yesterday. I fell asleep in my chair last night with my bottle of water unfinished. My scale is hanging at the bottom edge of the range I've been stuck in for so many months. I was hoping the water would help me break through the plateau but so far no luck. If nothing else there doesn't seem to be as much fluid in my legs and feet. That's something any way.
Hope you have a good day off today, Angii.
Alabama, I don't know of any movie theaters in our area. I think you have to travel about thirty miles if you want to see a movie. I haven't been to the movies since 1969. That was to a drive in about 20 miles from here and it's been closed for some time.
Birdie, I hope you had a better night's sleep last night. I think Molly has radar. She has been getting antsy any where from 30 minutes to a couple of hours before the storm arrives. DH told last night she had it all wrong it but within a few hours it was raining and she proved him wrong.
YAH, sorry about your feet hurting. Hope you can get through the long stretch at work without a lot of pain.
Barb, hope things cool off for you there. I take it you like winter or you wouldn't have moved to where it gets so cold. Are you involved in any winter activities? I think I remember you saying about snow shoeing some time but I am not sure.
Hi Sue, and Molasses.
Molly is being a real pain this morning. Guess she wants my attention since we were away yesterday. Better go see how much trouble she has gotten in. My one stuffed bunny seems to be the target of her frustrations. It keeps getting taken to the back porch and the lace and ribbon will never be the same. Thankfully she hasn't chewed it enough to get into any stuffing. I thought about just letting her have it but then I remember Angii's dog needing surgery to remove stuffing. She won't play with dog toys but she will take things and tear them apart to get my attention. Gurrr!
Need to go. Have a nice day. BBL
Well I am back, got the workout finished showered and ready to go(?) . Breakfast was A carnation instant with a scoop of protein powder made with Almond Milk. 200 calories.
Di, I don't get to go the movies either . We have a big I think 6 screen in town plus another one but DH wouldn't go so I sure won't go by myself. Before my DD had the baby she and I would go while in Ohio and then When my SIL was still in Port St Lucie we would take one in also. Oh and we still have a drive in theater here plus still one near our town in Ohio. I so remember going to those. When I was a kid we lived across a twin drive in and the owners always gave Dad a season pass. We were allowed to walk over as they had seats set up in front of te screen. Fun memories for sure.
Yah, hope your feet are better today . I am still having trouble with mine. One foot seems to be great but the left really really bothers me . No help from the Doctor so I just grin and bear it .
Sleep what is that anymore . Went to bed at 10 last night and wide awake at 3 . But I feel ok right now.
Today is yard mowing day and bank this morning . It has rained every day for several weeks.
Good Morning to everyone . BBL DH is calling . LOL.
Morning ladies,
On the run this a.m., as have lots to do today.....so off to breakfast, workout and then making our up a pizza...can ya all guess what's for dinner at our house tonight LOL
Have a good day and catch up with ya'all later!
Just finished my breakfast and will head to the dog park. Then take Charger to the groomer, and then go get my oil changed! Then to the fabric store to look at material for a wind/sun screen to add to the camper.
Then tonight we are going to some friends for some game time, and then tomorrow we have dinner plans with other friends!
So I better run and get my shoes on!
well I am back again , I am in the kitchen were my laptop is Ironing and cutting out another Bama Tote for my friend in Ohio. I had to go to Walmart for the fabric and Stabilizer . They are a little cheaper than Hancock and when he cut it I said "isn't that more than 1/2 yard and he said yes that the ends are not even and I want you to be able to have enough . Well it is almost a YARD!
So have that cut out and my Golf Fabric was so wrinkled that I had to wash it and it is still wrinkled so I had to dampen it and it is in the Frig getting cold. I haven't done that in years.
I'm getting ready for a short walk on treadmill . And I got all of my water in Yesterday and will again today as I only need two more Glasses. Yippe for me as yesterday was the first day I did. And I''m on my Second day of journaling my food.
Well I need to get off of here. BBL
We made a haul at the farmers market today. Got celery, broccoli,cauliflower, a head of iceberg lettuce, a three pack of romaine, baby carrots, three green peppers, a big bag of red grapes, a pineapple, 4#s of bananas, a watermelon, a cantaloupe, and a half bushel of apples all for about $28. My frig is stuffed. I am going to miss the prices when the vendors are gone for the winter.
Nice about the extra fabric, Alabama. The last a got was cut so poorly that I lost several inches before I had it squared up. Really nice of the clerk to do that for you.
Well, I was right and Molly was a bad girl this morning. I figured that she'd have the stuffed bunny and she did. What I didn't expect was her to raid my recipe box. I left it out when I was deciding what to make for DH's family picnic next weekend and she found it. There were recipes scattered on the rug by the back door and some apparently eaten. I found enough pieces to figure out which ones I need to make new copies of. She is just determined that I can't be on the computer in the morning. The rest of the time she couldn't care less and doesn't bother anything.
Off to make some humming bird food. I haven't seen any around in a couple of days but the feeder might be empty. If no one comes around later on this will be the last batch of feed for the summer. Hard to believe they are leaving already but it's that time of the year. Where did the summer go?
Hi ladies, TGIF!
Not much new going on here today. The guys are still working on the fence, They have one side finished, two to go, but the framing is up for everything.
A friend just stopped by and we gave her the tour. She's a good gardener so I got to pick her brain and found out some of the plants I didn't know. Some have just dried up with the heat. I did pick a big pattypan squash last night. I think I let it get a little too large, but I have tons of blossoms on the other plants, plus loads of green peppers. I added fresh peas to a wild rice dish I fixed last night -- lots of work for just a few peas - LOL! Another friend stopped by yesterday when I was out getting my hair cut. DH just isn't used to people just dropping by, but that's what they do here. Fine with me, and my housekeeping will probably improve.
We went out last night for an hour or so to see & photograph some northern lights. Not a strong display, especially with the full moon, but nice to see, and the lake was gorgeous and calm, and we heard loons calling and a wolf howl or two in the distance. This is why I love the northwoods so much!
Also got a couple of "not on the weekend" getaways lined up. Got a campsite for 3 nights down near Lake Superior. Last one available - hope it's decent! Anyway, that's for the last week of September when the fall colors should be peak. Also booked a room for another trip to the big lake in November. Every November 10, in honor of the sinking of the Edmund Fitzgerald, they have a special ceremony and light the Split Rock lighthouse. We've been there a couple of times when they lit the light, but not for this.
I'm waiting for DH to level up a cabinet in the dining room before I fill it up. I think I need to check & see when he plans on getting to it.
Have a great day!
Hi ladies,
Well we didn't make our pizza on Wednesday like we thought as the guy that ordered, ordered again, ain't complaining, another smaller order but we will take it. So did the burn baby burn instead of making our pizza, which was relegated to Friday morning. I did some work on the new website and with the small print today on everything....gave myself a major headache, which got better after some lunch and one of those faux Tylenol pills. Boy those bruises on my legs are looking "ugly"....got them when I gave Buddy a bath look like holes but straight down right leg...2 separate lines....we both said at the time when "something Buddy did or happened" boy am I going to have major bruises and LOL I guess we were right....too bad we can't remember what it was LOL
Spent my after lunch time working on Parts 3 & 4 of our Cross country trip slide shows...I love doing them up...so much fun.
We got Scarecrow and Mrs. King in so watched two of them Wednesday night and then checked more disks.
I did get most of my dusting and glass stuff done after dinner Wednesday night and then finished with the bedroom and dining room Thursday morning. Plus I also cleaned the office fan as being on all day every day it gets dirty.
Nixing the floor attachment and will look at a stick vacuum....I have the big vacuum set at a low setting for our rugs, so I didn't even bother on Thursday adjusting it...worried that vacuum will break too and we don't have the dollars to replace that for sure. So back to Amazon and looked at reviews.
Did my Thursday cleaning of the sliding glass doors, took a shower while hubby sewed...then we called back the guy who had just ordered twice as he had a couple of questions...very nice phone call, he's a teacher from Georgia now in California, subbing till he gets his CA certificate and also some acting...we had a great conversation and sounds like he will be ordering again, but we shall see as we don't take anything for granted today. He was very complimentary and just wanted us to know how happy he was with our stuff, so that was very nice.
Got his other order ready for Friday and then I answered a couple of emails and looked at more stick vacs, going with the Dirt Devil for now but none of them are perfect...
We did make up our pizza this morning, and clean up went easier too this time, a lot faster. So I got busy with clearing and doing my mail, was going to just call in my meds my lines were busy so I used the automated system and did it that way and then worked on the web pages to change and 50 more of them done on the one site and started on the DVD section.
After lunch I did some more on our Cross country slide shows up to Hoover Dam and then Las Vegas!
We watched 2 more Scarecrow episodes and checked more disks Thursday night.
Today we got our pizza cooked up and with clean up and all it went a lot quicker.
Have one more Scarecrow episode to watch and whatever hubby picks out since it's his night....after eating that delicious pizza...of course.. with our home made crust and topped with tomato sauce, Fancy pizza blend (shredded blend of low-moisture part skim-mozzarella and mild cheddar cheese) and Sargento Chef Blends 6 Cheese Italian (shredded natural mozzarella, smoked provolone, Romano, Fontina, Asiago & Parmesan Cheese) topped with a little Pompeian Extra Virgin olive oil, Italian seasoning, oregano and parsley) and then at the table with some salt, pepper, California Style Onion powder.....mmmm good! And for 1 scoop Friday...a Extreme moose tracks....yummy!
Well time for the 3 C's and we are cutting out early today. Will do catch up over the weekend.
Well hope you had a nice Friday, same for the evening and the weekend,
Good evening, WOWsters,
I had a mostly kitchen day--finally made the peach-ginger jam, froze some more beans, cut up a pineapple for the freezer and a cantaloupe for the fridge, made a pot of tomato soup. . . .didn't get to the muffin baking, but tomorrow is another day. I didn't get Chiefy bathed either, I am reminded by the odor wafting up as he is sitting at my knee!
Gosh, Bama--that's an early wake-up! Were you able to stay awake all day?!
Glad you had a nice meal out yesterday, Dianna, and yay on being at the bottom of your range. That's a fabulous haul from the farm market--looks like some good eating at your house the next few days!
Hope you found your fabric, Angii. Enjoy your evening out, both tonight and tomorrow night!
Sounds like a lovely evening, Barb! Hope you get some rain for your garden.
Yay on the order, Sue! Sorry about the bruises though. You sound like DA; she bruises very easily from any little bump. Mmm, pizza, my mouth is watering!
Hello, Birdie and YAH!
Time for me to go start getting DA ready for bed. Sweet dreams!
Good morning ladies,
Molly decided we were getting up at 4:30. I was already awake but was hoping I could fall back to sleep. Guess not.
Guess we will mow today if the grass dries off. It hasn't dried off most days this week. I should dust and clean the floors too. If I don't mow maybe I'll make some apple sauce to freeze. We haven't gotten store bought in eons, we're spoiled by homemade.
I found GF pizza dough yesterday, I think it was Pillsbury. I should have saved my money, it was terrible. It doesn't rise and looks like leather. I don't even think it will grind up into bread crumbs it is that leathery. Glad I got it on sale and I didn't stock up. I'll stick to making my own from now on. So far pizza dough has been the only yeast bread recipe that I've found and I been making sandwich rolls with it when I have a craving for a sandwich. A rice cake just doesn't cut it for some open faced sandwiches. They go to mush.
Guess I'll go get into something. I am talked out and Molly is starting her morning "thing".
Have a good day.
Happy Saturday all,
Not much here going on either. Had a nice visit with our friends last night . They are on the way to Louisiana as her father fell at work and broke some ribs and then after he got to the hospital he had two strokes. He is finally out of ICU and in a step down (I had never heard of this) but I guess it's the next step down from ICU. So they are on the way there and then the DH will return Sunday with the kids and she will stay until they fly him here. His Company is paying for everything . He has worked for them for 43 years. Sounds like a good company.
So next week my DH will see that the kids get to school . The one goes in Florida which is 30 or so minutes and the other goes to a private school here . The 3rd will take the bus from is house . D doesn't mind doing it and it will get him out of my hair for a while.
My key board is messing up so I am going to be taking into the shop/. Some of the letters stick and it is annoying me so you may not hear from me for awhile at least in the mornings.
I bought a purse at Kohl's and have decided I don't like it and am takin it back today . It's a very good purse . Stone Mountain was over 100$ and I got it very cheap but if you don't like it it has to go back. So that is all I am doing for the morning.
It's getting harder and harder to type on here so I will have to say BBL
Catch up this afternoon.
I have a new purse, too, Bama. Admire this & then I'll tell you the story ~
One of my friends texted me a photo from a NC thrift store. She'd found this purse & thought I HAD to have it! I texted back - Cute but don't pay more than $20 for it. She got if for about $15 & mailed it to me. It still had the tags on it. I'm having fun carrying it. Yes, it looks like my Dugan...
Birdie what a cute purse and what a good freind to think of you and what a great buy. YOu just never know what you are going to find at thrift stores. I love it and I love you got such a bargain. My neice also has two golden retrievers and when I saw it I thought of her but them I look at that price on line . Well it is a Bradford exchange. Have fun carrying it.
So cool, Birdie--I'll bet that makes you smile every time you reach for it! (Yikes on the Ebay price though!)
Want to share your dough recipe, Dianna? I've tried several GF pizza doughs and several bread recipes, and have to say the pizza doughs are usually better than the breads.
I'm sorry about your friend's father, Bama, and hope he recovers completely. Sorry about your keyboard, too; hope it can be fixed. I took all the key tops off mine once to clean the keyboard and it took a long time for some of them to go back to feeling right and not sticking. I probably won't do that again!
Speaking of computers, I ordered an inexpensive laptop yesterday. I had bought an eMachine computer many years ago, and got a postcard awhile ago about a class action lawsuit, so I opted in and got a certificate to use at a website where they are selling refurbished Acers and Gateways. The certificate was for $365; most of the computers are more than that (they had desktops, laptops and tablets to choose from), but I opted for one that was free with the certificate, a basic model Gateway laptop. They didn't have any that weren't running Windows 8, so I guess that will be interesting, but it was free to me so I figured nothing to lose.
I got this in my email this morning:
And here's some more information I got in an email. This is from Csilla Bishop of Shining Health. She's a local health coach; I went to a library program where she spoke on sweeteners and signed up for her newsletter afterward. She has some interesting recipes and informative articles. Her website is www.shininghealth.com.
Have you been unsuccessful at losing weight?
Do you struggle with digestive issues like IBS, constipation, or heartburn?
Feeling heavy and bloated most of the time?
Troubled by headaches, skin issues or asthma?
Many of us struggle with these or similar issues and often take various medications trying to decrease the inside "flame" when in reality this type of approach is usually just a band aid. It is not addressing the root cause.
Often, one of the reasons might be that we have some undiscovered food sensitivities.
Food sensitivities often provoke delayed symptoms, such as migraine and arthritis for example. These reactions are not as obvious as the dramatic and immediate onset of "true" food allergies (such as peanut anaphylaxis) but over the long term, these reactions can be just as devastating and are more difficult to detect.
By eliminating the culprit foods from our diets for a period of time, we can eliminate the inflammation and the nagging symptoms they bring on. A rotation diet or an elimination diet is one low-tech way to see if certain foods are contributing to weight loss resistance, digestive problems, skin issues ... etc.
Have you ever heard about the SENSITIVE SEVEN?
There are 7 foods that most people can be sensitive to. They are:
1. Wheat2. Dairy3. Sugar4. Corn5. Soy6. Eggs
7. Peanuts
The logic is that these foods make up the majority of the typical American diet and, therefore, are overeaten. As a result, we develop food sensitivities that manifest in all kinds of ways.
Here is what you can do on your own to see if you have any sensitivities to these foods:
Take out these 7 foods for a period of time (21 day is most ideal) and then add them back gradually to "challenge" your system.
A typical elimination diet might look like this: all vegetables, all fruits (except citrus), rice, olive oil, herbs, wild fish or organic chicken. Making your own meals is most ideal, but if you must eat at a restaurant ask them specifically to not add any extra items to your meals.
When you remove the offending foods your symptoms will calm down and then you can carefully add back one food every two days apart and see if you have any adverse reactions. This will help you identify the foods that are problematic for your body.
If you find that some of these foods do cause a problem, you should eliminate that food again and move to the next until you have added back all seven foods. In the end, you will know what you can easily tolerate and what you should leave out completely.
Happy Saturday, everyone!
Neat purse, Birdie. Are your counting down the days until retirement? Hope the change is going as planned.
The grass is wet so I'm playing in the kitchen. Made some GF rolls for a HLT (ham instead of bacon) sandwich later on. Gotta love having homegrown tomatoes for it. Then DH said since you have the oven on how about baking something for the new neighbors, since I still haven't gotten around to it yet. So have two loaves of zucchini bread and a pan of muffins in the oven now. Got my hummingbird feeders cleaned and refilled. Still no birds yet. Set my peaches out to ripen so I can make jam. I bought the low sugar/ no sugar Sure Jell but there where no instructions in the box. I got them online but no sure if I am going to go low or no sugar. Guess there may be an issue with it setting up. Molasses, how do you make yours? I was hoping to freeze it but I don't know now.
Sorry the purse didn't suit after all, Alabama. I hope you find another that you like at a good price. So nice of your DH to take care of getting your friends' kids to school next week. Sorry to hear about the circumstances that caused it. Hope her dad will be okay.
Good to see business has picked up, Sue. Wishing you much more.
Hope you have a nice time with your friends, Angii.
YAH, how are your feet holding up? Hope you get some time off after this long stretch.
Better go check the oven. Have a nice day whatever you are doing.
Mo, thanks for the website link. Interesting that I saw a new Chiropractor yesterday. He's young & different from the other two I've gone to - one just did the standard adjustments; the other one was more into the meta-physical stuff - too whooo-whooo for me. However the guy yesterday spent time with me in a consultation, asked me about diet/water intake before he told me what he'd be trying to do for me. When I told him about the diet changes I'd been trying & failing to make, he responded with "just try it for 3 days, not forever, not even a month. Just see how you feel after 3 days." Wow. And the items he advocates are the same as the list in the website you linked. Did everybody know this except me?
Molasses, thanks for the link. Very interesting. Some of it reinforces some things I've read and some is new to me. I want to take some time later and read it more closely, as I just skimmed over it quickly while multi-tasking.
Here's the GF pizza dough recipe:
GF pizza dough
1 Tbsp. yeast
1 1/3 cup milk
2 1/3 cup gluten-free all purpose flour (I used Bob's Red Mill)
2 tsp. xanthan gum
1 tsp salt
2 tsp olive oil
2 tsp. cider vinegar
1/3 cup (more or less) corn meal
Preheat oven to 400 degrees
Heat milk to just above room temperature. Make sure it isn't so hot it kills your yeast.
Mix the yeast, sugar and milk in bowl and set aside.
In a mixing bowl , mix the flour, salt and xanthan gum well. Your yeast should be forming by now. (I've haven't seen much foaming yet)
Add the cider vinegar and olive oil to the yeast mixture and add to the flour mixture. Mix well.
Roll dough on a well floured surface and add corn meal. Sprinkle the corn meal liberally as you roll out.
Roll the dough to about 1/8 inch thickness. Transfer to baking sheet and bake until a light golden brown.
Add sauce, toppings and cheese. Return to the oven until the cheese has melted.
I've been dividing the dough rolling it in the corn meal and making sandwich rolls instead of rolling it out for pizza crust.
I tried Red Star yeast (I think that was the name) but it didn't seem to rise nearly as well as Fleischmann's yeast. (Maybe I just had a bad batch). This morning I used Fleischmann's pizza crust yeast. They look nice but I haven't tasted any yet.
I have a lot of catching up to do, but did read the posts this morning. Did want to say Birdie, I love love love the purse and that's a great price compared to the one that was on Ebay! I love the purse and OMG it so looks like Dugan. Sounds like a great chiropractor! So did I miss something about retirement, that Dianna mentioned? If so, I too, wish you the best of one!
Molasses, I will go and check on the link later today.
Well off to breakfast, bathrooms, floors, and making up my lobster salad for lunch next week.
Molasses, stick with the regular yeast instead of pizza dough yeast. I think part of the problem is I have no idea how long to bake the rolls. They may be brown on the outside but not baked as much as think they should be on the inside. I wonder if it would be better to bake them longer at a lower temperature. My first attempt was really good but I haven't been as successful other times. It's a work in progress.
Morning ladies. We had a nice time out last night. And looking forward to tonight at well. I did find the fabric that I needed, I just hope I have enough. We calculated 13 yard, but they only had 11.75. So we will see... but when we calculated on fabric, we calculated on 45" and this is 54". So we will see.
Charger also got his grooming done. And I did get the oil changed and got a price on the seat belt I need to replace from somebody chewing on it while we were in Spokane.
So all in all a productive day yesterday.
I better go so I can call my MIL and thank her for the b-day card she sent me. It is a musical one, and it plays my favorite version of "somewhere over the rainbow" So of course it brought tears to my eyes!
Well I better go
1. Place 6 large peaches in a large pot of boiling water for 1 minute; rinse in cold water and peel.
2. Remove pits and cut into wedges (about 6 cups).
3. Transfer to the bowl of a food processor and pulse until coarsely chopped.
4. In a medium stainless steel saucepan, combine peaches and ingredients. Simmer 30 min. until thickened, stirring occasionally. Makes 4 c. Refrigerate overnight, and then keep in fridge.
I had to simmer more like 45 minutes to get it thick enough. And I used 2 T. of crystalized ginger and about 1/2 t. of powdered instead of chopped fresh ginger. It turned out yummy. I used some today to top banana muffins.
Thanks for the roll recipe--I'm going to try that next time.
Dianna, I've made the Low-Sugar Jam several times with the pink box of Sure- Jell. Instructions for low-sugar is on the paper in the box. It turned out great. I put mine in jars & sealed them in a water-bath canner. However, you certainly could make freezer jam. I never have enough freezer space to do that. Found this link too
My retirement plans are a little complicated & I can't go into it right now. But things will be done one way or another in another week. And yes, I'm looking forward to a lack of drama in my life.
Mo, do you ever use the jarred "fresh grated" ginger? Find it in the salad/produce section alongside the minced "fresh" garlic. I keep it in my refrigerator & use it a lot in stir-frys, etc. I think it's as good as the fresh ginger root.
YAH, sorry to hear about all the extra works days...sounds like the lady that called you that "didn't know that" doesn't know too much at all.
Barb, glad to hear that things are moving along and like YAH said before you know it Autumn will be there. Unlike us who have a "long time" to go.
Birdie, I have always loved boats and was on them at a very very early age when my mom went back to Germany to show me off (and little did she know she was pregnant when she left). I would enjoy a cruise also and glad you are able to go and as you said you have your mom and aunts going so it sounds like fun to me. I see if I had come to this weeks posts first then I would have seen your "retired in 2 weeks"....I hope it all works out.
Thanks Dianna yes I forgot sometimes that while into the 'artsy kind of crafts' I do have my other strong points.
I think it's very sweet of your hubby, Dianna that he wanted to do something special for your anniversary.
((( Birdie))) on the sleepless night and poor Dugan. Very happy that all of our dogs since Mr. Bo take storms in stride. In fact I can remember Chuck rushing home when we had thunder bumpers in Sacto worried about Alex being outside and he got home and Alex was curled up in his house (under our overhang) snoring away.....LOL
Glad I inspired you Molasses to make some enchiladas for your hubby LOL
Oh Angii your trip to Alaska and the Kenai area sounds wonderful....I would have loved to be able to see the whales.
MMMM I love tomato basil soup Birdie....just too hot here for soup...can't wait till the cooler weather gets here.
Dianna, glad you got out for a nice lunch and your chef's salad sounds yummy. Not a fan of pumpkin so the muffins wouldn't have even tempted me.
Yeah one of the reasons that furminator wasn't on my list was the price and then to find out that Buddy won't let me use it....he's very picky...he likes his brush and comb.
Glad the storm missed you YAH and you got to see your son....bummer on the raspberries. Hope you feel better.
Well Dianna, you have us beat as we haven't been in a movie theatre since 1985 when we saw the Rocky movie LOL
I see you were busy Friday too Angii and I so miss game time with friends...enjoy!
Wow Dianna I am jealous of your haul at the Farmer's market....want some company to help eat it!
OMG Dianna, your recipe box, yikes....she needs something else to occupy her besides your stuff.
Barb, sounds like a lot of drop bys for you...have to say I am with your hubby, and so is my hubby too!
Oh Barb your "We went out last night for an hour or so to see & photograph some northern lights. Not a strong display, especially with the full moon, but nice to see, and the lake was gorgeous and calm, and we heard loons calling and a wolf howl or two in the distance. This is why I love the Northwood's so much!" sounds so wonderful....so sharing pics?????
Thanks Molasses, we were happy campers on the second order. Oh Molasses, I am very used to bruising I have always bruised easily being very light skinned and then with getting sick and being on the mega doses of prednisone in addition to all the inhalers that also have steroids....I can remember going to rehab and going out and Chuck worried that people thought he beat me LOL
My finger yesterday on my left hand was all bruised and guessing it was from the vacuum.
The pizza was delicious BTW
Dianna have to say we are very happy too being able to make our own pizza dough as we used to buy the Pillsbury one and one of our major complaints was when opening it it would tear and you couldn't fix it like you can when you make your own.
Do tell me about making these sandwich rolls....and how you do it....thanks oh and we don't need GF ones, so if that's a problem just forget it.
Glad you had a nice visit with your friends Bama and sorry to hear about her dad...yeah a very good company not many of those around any more.
Sorry about the purse Bama and yeah I'd be getting another keyboard.
As I said this morning Birdie, I just love the purse with Dugan's likeness on it.
Oh Dianna, sniffing away at the wonderful smells coming from your house. Thanks for the business wishes.
Wow Angii I see you had a very productive day too and a good time last night too. Have fun again tonight too!
Birdie, glad your plans for retirement are coming to fruition and I know you will enjoy every minute of it!
Well I am all caught up again and now off to the 3 C's. Very much looking forward to my nap.
Birdie, no instruction in my box for Sure Jell but I was able to get the instructions online for the low sugar/ no sugar peach jam. I was worried because, in the reviews, several people said that it didn't set up. Mine seems to have set up just fine. I don't have my canner anymore so I just boiled the jars and lids. Everything sealed so I hope that is good enough. I haven't made jam in years. Back then, I sealed the jars with paraffin wax. Guess the tells you how long ago that was. It was a pain as I remember. I think maybe that is why I switched to freezer jam until I decided to cut down on sugar and stopped making jam. This is the first I've made the low sugar and it tastes plenty sweet to me. I think the regular would be too sweet now. At the price of peaches I was afraid to try the Splenda version for fear it would have an off taste.
Molasses, I decided to add a spoonful of ground ginger after reading your recipe. I scraped the pan before I washed it so I could do a taste test. It is soooo good. Thanks, I've have never thought of adding ginger. I don't really taste it but it seems to really bring out the peach flavor. I going to try your recipe for the next batch. Went with the Sure Jell since I'd already bought it and couldn't take it back since I'd opened it to find the recipe which apparently was missed in packaging.
You might find the recipe I used to be on the sweet side, Dianna. I did think the ginger was a nice addition to the peach.
YAH, I meant to tell you earlier--DH was on my Facebook page this morning and he mentioned how beautiful all the pictures are that you post of the UP.
I've never bought the jarred ginger, Birdie; it would certainly be less messy than peeling and grating fresh so it's good to know it's an acceptable substitute. I have a hunk of the root in the fridge, but I thought it might be unpleasant to bite into a piece in the jam. I think the jam boiled long enough that it wouldn't have been an issue though. I am kind of a ginger freak--I love it fresh, powdered, crystallized. . .
I've got a library book out on Wild Fermentation, so I'm thinking about trying to make some sauerkraut and maybe some kimchi. There's also a wine made from just honey and water. I don't think I want to make a whole gallon, but I might see if I can cut the recipe down to a quart just to try it. And of course I'll be trying the "ginger beer" which is non-alcoholic. Fun stuff!
Evening Wowers,
Hooray, the fence is finished enough to let the dogs in their new area. They need to put the latch on tomorrow - and I need to write a big check. Also need to go pick up a new frisbee for Murphy. They are so used to lazing around the house, and going out on a leash that they aren't tussling and playing much, but I'm sure they will get back into the play mode soon.
It's hot here again so the A/C was running this afternoon. A nice cool breeze tonight though. That's what I remember about growing up in Michigan -- cool evenings, even with hot days.
Sue, I haven't downloaded photos yet, and I closed my photobucket account, but I will post something soon.
Can't believe it's almost Labor Day! Have a great weekend!
Good Evening ladies! I put the pic of Mt. St. Helens on and couldn't seem to find where to type on that one so just posted it and will type here I guess
Another long day and I am hoping I get the next 2 days off as suppose to get even hotter with a lot of humidity. I'm hoping it will storm before Tues. and cool us off a lot! So far all clear out there. Would have been nice to go Marq. but when I get off work, feel so tired, just went son's house for a while with the cats to get motivated to drive home
Dh just said when he came in that DIL and Josie were down CF's and helping her DSis move to an apt. by her new job in Ironwood so my son was in Marq. To late, as i didn't know that. Well he's probably working around the house and he said about jumping off the tall rocks at the lake with the middle son when he gets off at 7:30 since its still in 70's.
No way to catch up on all but love all the vege's you got from the farmer's market Di as I sure haven't got any. Your neighbors will love the goodies I'm sure also!
Bama, so sorry to hear about your friends dad, as so much to happen at the same time almost. Hope he gets better quickly and enjoy your time alone when your Dh goes bring the boy to school I seem to find my purses at the thrift store and change them a lot.
Birdie, what a cute purse and I'm sure you will get comments on it and you will have to have a pic of Brodie to show to Keeping my fingers crossed for all to turn out well for you soon.
Sue, hoping for lots of orders for you also. Hope the guy tells his friends etc.. Hope you have a very nice evening and sleep also
Barb, I'm hoping to watch the sky a little tonight if I can stay awake That is a nice fence you have there for the dogs! Bet they love being free now
Angii, glad you got out and enjoy going out again tonight! Wish I had some energy just to do something in the day time!
Mo, thanks for the comment from your Dh about the pic's I will have more This one I just posted wasn't here but loved the flowers and the mountain back there.
Lots of nice jam and all kinds of recipe's on I see. I did throw my raspberries in a freezer bag with a tiny bit of sugar as I knew I couldn't eat them all that quick and will make muffins or? with them later. They get moldy to quick in refrig. it seems otherwise.
HI to anyone else and I wish you all a good night and sleep soundly Going to soak my feet for a bit. C U, Yah
This is our Brodie, playing shortstop, waiting for that fly=ball. This is an every night ritual he has with Dh.
Barb, I didn't think you'd mind but your fence looks so great, I posted it Very nice play yard for the furkids Yah
Wow, that's a lot of lumber, Barb! I'm glad I don't have to sand and stain it all. I am sure your puppies are going to enjoy it very much and it will make a nice private sitting area for you and DH.
Brodie is much bigger than I expected, Birdie. He has some serious muscle on him and you can see he loves playing.
Molasses, the "light" peach jam has just as much sugar in it as your recipe, Molasses. 3 cups sugar to 4 1/2 cups chopped peaches. So likely about the same amount of peaches as your recipe before chopping. I used 7 good sized ones.
Glad to hear you have a couple days off, YAH. Hope you can rest up but will also do something for yourself. Sorry you missed seeing your sons and Josie.
It was beautiful here yesterday, mid 70's to low 80's. Got my mowing all done without being drenched in sweat. Starting to see some color on a few trees here and there. Fall is on the way. Think it may be an early one.
Nothing new going on here. Church AM and PM. Planning on being lazy in between.
I am going to whisper it so I don't jinx myself, my scale has been down the past two mornings. Hope it keeps going that way. I've really been pushing the water and I think that is helping.
Time to get a move on. Molly is sleeping in this morning and I need to go get her up to go out... It's pay back for all of those 4:00 AM wake up calls.
Have a good day and remember to take some me time.
Yep, Dianna, Brodie's as solid as a pit-bull. His food ration is twice as much as Dugan's because he's constantly on the move. He doesn't walk anywhere; he trots. Lots of energy in that boy. Did I tell that last week when he was at Doggie Daycare, a big noisy thunderstorm went thru the county. I guess Brodie stood in a corner & quivered & shook. This is something new (several weeks - maybe since July 4) he's been doing. Loud noises freak him out. If I'm home, he wants to crawl under the computer desk & lay on my feet. I have another Thundershirt that I can't find. Will hunt for it again before the next storm is predicted.
Our pizza Friday night, despite our crust not coming out as good as the last time, tasted delicious and we thought it might be too thin but was pretty darn tootin good and the pizza blend with some of the Sargento Chef Blends 6 Cheese Italian was just fantastic....all of us including Buddy Max were very happy with it LOL Chuck picked out Bo, Luke, Daisy and Uncle Jessie along with the General Lee...to watch...for those not in the know...Dukes of Hazzard LOL We did finish up Scarecrow and Chuck moved the last disk for this season up. Plus we got more disks checked too. We watched the Mother's In Law before bed that we taped off our MeTV network and what a hoot that show was and what talented actors and actresses. Saturday was one busy day I was one pooped lady. I was on my feet all morning with bathrooms being cleaned top to bottom and then having to do the floors. I did cheat as I was not going to lug out that upright, so I took one of my micro fiber rags and put in on the mop and did the bathroom and kitchen floor that way. Then did the mopping...then I had to lay down and stretch out my back. Hubby helped put all the stuff back in their respective rooms. Plus I folded all the towels today since he was writing up a review....he yelled at me but I couldn't see interrupting him when he was writing. Also got the rags all washed up too so Lucy & Ethel had a very light day with only towels and rags. We watched Total Recall (remake) Saturday night that we got in from Netflx. Plus checked more disks. It's Sunday and same ole same ole...so off to breakfast as Buddy is looking up at me with his "is it pancake time yet". So off to eat and the normal routine, still minus smell.
I agree with grandma!
Have a nice Sunday, Sue
This explains it perfectly! Thanks my story and I am sticking to it!
Well our friends couldn't make it out last night, so DH and I went out and had a nice dinner by ourselves. We still had a good time.
Not sure what I will get into today. My MIL called me back this morning as she was mowing her lawn when I called. So I chatted with her for a few minutes. They closed on the house in Boise finally, so that is all done. They are going to stay in the house that Cody was raised in when they retire, which I hope is soon. I would so love for them to be able to come visit us in the summer.
Yah. that pic you posted of MT St Helens is about an hour from my house! I can see the mountain on a clear day, I can also see Mt. Hood.
Birdie, I hope all works out for you!
Barb, Nice fence!
Di, Mo, and Bama, all this talk about jams and canning, I think I might do some pepper today.
Well I better run and get us breakfast so I can get Dad up. We slept in this morning.
Dh fixed a late breakfast for us. I had 3 small redskin potatoes that I sliced & sautéed in coconut oil, along with red bell pepper strips, a slice of onion & some mushrooms. Dh hates onion, so I had to make sure he didn't get any of the hated onion on his plate. But he made the eggs. We talked about the diet changes I'd like to make. He's onboard...at least he is this morning. He said right away, how about bread? That's a BIG sticking point for him. I got online & was pleasantly pleased to find that 2 of our very good local bakeries both make GF products. They only have them once a week, but we have a choice between Rice Bread, Buckwheat Bread, Buckwheat Cinnamon Bread and Country White. As long as I can find something for Dh's toast & sandwiches, he'll go along with nearly anything (well, except for giving up MEAT). But I'm a happy camper! My back didn't wake me up with the constant dull ache this morning. It's only been 3 days GF but I hope that's at least a partial result of it. (I had Ultra-sound on my back last week too) I heard from another friend this a.m. She's been GF since May - lost 20# without any exercise because she couldn't - and sailed thru knee replacement surgery. Dianna, you should be encouraged...
Thanks Birdie, I am still waiting for the cortisone shoot to kick in. The nurse said it could take two weeks. I am hoping to shed some pounds before surgery but if I don't do any better than I have been it isn't happening. So what all are you cutting out? Gluten and meat? Glad your back is feeling a little better after just 3 days of GF. I told DH on the way home from church this morning that I must have gotten into gluten someplace yesterday because it is not a good day. He said, "well you tasted my zucchini muffin yesterday." Hard to believe one bite could make me sore, but the past three times I've taste something or ate something with gluten I've paid for it the next day. Geesh, I just wanted to see if the bread tasted okay before we took a loaf over to the neighbors.
I showed DH the Sensitive Seven that Molasses posted. He said, so what is left to eat? It would tend to make breakfast challenging.
Di, because I was complaining about my chronic back pain & sciatica (fairly recent), the Dr. asked if I'd be open to trying GF for 3 days, no more. And then tell him how I felt - if I noticed anything different, good or bad after 3 days. When I ran this by Dh, he said "let's try it for a month, EXCEPT we have to find a Bread product". So he's OK with it, in general. I know I won't be able to clean Gluten completely from my diet, because I don't pay that much attention to what I eat. But if it's a piece of bread or cake or a cookie, then I can put it back down. Am I going to read labels? Probably not. I've read articles on Gluten sensitivity and some people are super-sensitive to even trace amounts. I don't believe I am, but I think I can benefit from cleaning my diet up.
And no red meat. I'm sticking to chicken, fish & eggs, and without much prodding could probably give up poultry, except for occasional meals. That's where my Dh says "what's left to eat?" He'll never be able to be meatless.
But this is for Molasses, my Vegan friend posted this morning. I'd have to make a special trip to the Health Food store to pick up the main vegan "crumble" ingredient, and I'd probably find out it has Gluten in it. I'm not making a trip for that.
Sounds good though, doesn't it? http://mouthwateringvegan.com/...5/vegan-sloppy-joes/
And here's another yummy thing - Dannon Oikos Greek Yogurt - Key Lime flavor. YUM! Tastes like the middle of Key Lime Pie.

Papaya Juice Can Cure Dengue: Dengue Cure Discovery From Indian Doctor
You may have heard this elsewhere but if not I am glad to inform you that papaya juice is a natural cure for dengue fever. As dengue fever is rampant now, I think it's good to share this with all. A friend of mine had dengue last year. It was a very serious situation for her as her platelet count had dropped to 28,000 after 3 days in hospital and water has started to fill up her lung. She had difficulty in breathing. She was only 32-year old. Doctor says there's no cure for dengue. We just have to wait for her body immune system to build up resistance against dengue and fight its own battle. She already had 2 blood transfusion and all of us were praying very hard as her platelet continued to drop since the first day she was admitted.
Fortunately her mother-in-law heard that papaya juice would help to reduce the fever and got some papaya leaves, pounded them and squeeze the juice out for her. The next day, her platelet count started to increase, her fever subside. We continued to feed her with papaya juice and she recovered after 3 days!!! Amazing but it's true. It's believed one's body would be overheated when one is down with dengue and that also caused the patient to have fever. Papaya juice has cooling effect. Thus, it helps to reduce the heatiness in one's body, thus the fever will go away. I found that it's also good when one is having sore throat or suffering from heatiness.

We all see the world differently. And thank God for that. Otherwise, what a boring world this would be.
- Philip Johnson
I don't know about you, but I've been glued to the coverage on TV and online of the Olympics and the U.S. women's gymnastics team in particular. I love their amazing athleticism. Their grit (McKayla Maroney vaulting—and sticking her landings!—with a broken toe). Their grace under pressure. Their inspiring and moving personal stories (Gabby Douglas leaving everyone she loved to train with a top coach 1,200 miles away from home, Kyla Ross's extraordinary bond with her late grandmother). And of course, their positive attitudes!
Here's why I think the Fierce Five will inspire a generation (to use the London 2012 Olympic slogan) of positive thinkers:
They understand what it means to be a team.
Gymnastics is unusual in that teammates are also rivals. In qualifications, at the same time gymnasts are competing along with their teammates to outscore other countries and make it to the team finals, they're also competing against their teammates to make it to the individual all-around and apparatus finals. Sometimes you see girls from the same team go through a whole meet barely speaking, each focused on her own performance. Not the Americans. They were totally in this together. They cheered for each other from the sidelines, gave big heartfelt hugs at the end of routines, and huddled at tense moments to draw strength from one another. I kept seeing Aly Raisman, the oldest (!) and most experienced at 18, steadying the others with the right words at the right time. No wonder they voted her captain.
They don't let anything get them down for long.
Heartbreak: Jordyn Wieber, reigning world champ in the all-around, dissolving into tears when she found out she hadn't advanced to the finals even though she finished fourth in qualifications. Only the top two from each country advance, and Raisman and Douglas finished ahead of her. Redemption: Wieber delivering the rock-solid performances she's known for in the team finals to help the US win the first team gold since 1996. Role model: Wieber tweeting...
They're full of faith.
Gotta like how Aly Raisman honors her Jewish heritage by performing her floor exercise routine to the Hebrew folk song "Hava Nagila." And how Gabby Douglas posts Scripture verses on Twitter, including Psalm 103:2 the morning of the biggest competition of her life—the individual all-around finals: "Let all that I am praise the Lord; may I never forget the good things he does for me."
They take joy in the moment.
Who can forget McKayla Maroney dancing off the podium in sheer delight after her jaw-dropping vault in the team finals? Or Gabby Douglas's irrepressible smile during her floor exercise, her final routine on the way to winning the all-around gold?
Don't forget to cheer on our favorite team of positive thinkers as they compete in the individual apparatus finals August 5, 6 and 7!

Carbohydrates are an essential nutrient and critical to the healthy functioning of the human body. You'd think they'd receive plaudits for their important role in human nutrition, but carbs don't get any respect. They are often smeared in the press and wrongly accused of causing the obesity epidemic sweeping the western world. In fact, carbs can be used properly and support health, or they can be abused and increase belly fat. Understanding the different kinds of carbs will help you learn how to integrate carbs into a healthy, slimming diet.
When carbs enter the body, they are converted in glucose. Glucose is like the gasoline that powers the basic functions of the human body.
Simple sugars can be converted quickly into glucose, which will then raise blood sugar and cause what is known as a "sugar high."
Sugar highs are often followed by crashes, which can cause tiredness and hunger. These simple sugars are often found in sweets loaded with calories and few nutrients.
Starches and fiber are much more beneficial to the body. Starches break down into glucose more slowly, and do not cause the sugar rush of simple carbs.
Fiber cannot be broken down and instead helps you feel more full. Fiber also aids in digestion.
Fruits often contain simple sugars, but because these sugars are unrefined, they include important micro-nutrients that the body requires for optimal functioning.
Refined sugars are simple carbs that have been stripped of all nutritious content. These are the sugars most often used in cakes and cookies and other high-calorie sweets.
Eating products that contain a lot of unrefined carbs will pack on the pounds and keep that gut growing.
By themselves, they do not cause belly fat, but overeating and under-exercising will undoubtedly increase belly fat.
These diets fail to differentiate between the different kinds of carbohydrates.
Restricting consumption of this important food nutrient can leave a subject feeling weak and hungry throughout the day, which is why few can maintain this regiment. These diets have since faded in popularity.
Winning with carbs is all about eating the right type of carbohydrates. Food that comes in a box or in packaging often contains significant amounts of refined sugars.
Seek out complex carbohydrates, such as those found in vegetables, oats, whole wheat and whole grain breads, pastas and rice.
Eat small servings of fresh fruit throughout the day and try to pair your fruit with more complex carbs.
Most importantly, remember that too much of any type of food is not good for the body.
Make sure you are eating in proportion to the energy you are burning throughout the day. Carbs give your body energy – use it or gain it as belly fat.

Sports films are usually a tough sell. Baseball movies have just a so-so track record and football films don't set the world on fire, either. But maybe it bodes well that Kevin Costner, who has starred in two of the bigger baseball films ("Field of Dreams" and "Bull Durham"), stars in football comedy-drama "Draft Day." He plays the general manager of the lowly Cleveland Browns, who finds himself with the first pick in the draft and a host of competing interests telling him what to do. Frank Langella, Jennifer Garner and Denis Leary also star.

The Valley Independent Living Association Center and other community organizations in Texas have been working hard at assisting Latinos with disabilities to remove barriers and find employment. Here are five snapshots of Latino Texans with disabilities who have been successful.
Elma Rojas
Elma Rojas was diagnosed with a heart condition at age 51. Her condition ended the multi-year career she had at a department store. Elma visited her local independent living center after her physician recommended she find a less physically demanding job. An employment specialist assessed Elma and identified her vocational interests. She discovered one of her interests was to care for the elderly and assist them with the activities of daily living. Today Elma is working as a provider at Apex Primary Health. Elma said, "my new job has had a therapeutic impact on my life, making me feel useful."
Leonardo Lopez
Leonardo Lopez is a 23-year-old Hispanic man with a cognitive disability from Donna, Texas. He was experiencing difficulty finding a job. Leonardo wanted to work since he graduated high school, but he was never successful at landing a job. Then he visited the Valley Independent Living Association Center in Brownsville, Texas. They assisted Leonardo with social, job seeking, and job interviewing skills. After gaining new skills Leonardo found employment at World Technical Services in the maintenance department.
María Trinidad
María Trinidad began seeking employment after completing a two-year program in Child Development at South Texas Community College. She felt passionate about becoming an educator and working with children. María's patience and good nature made her an ideal candidate for this type of work, however, she was very soft spoken and shy. María began attending workshops offered on employment and she managed to overcome her fear of speaking in public. Ultimately she found a position as a teacher's aide in a Head Start program. María cannot believe she gets paid to do what she loves doing.
Juan Muńoz
Juan Muńoz lives in San Juan, Texas. He is a recent high school graduate who has a learning disability. He never held a job while in high school. During high school his time was occupied as a player on the school's sports teams. Muńoz learned a lot about sports during high school. After graduation, he used this knowledge to secure a job at a sporting goods store called Just For Feet. The store manager acknowledged that his knowledge about sports made him an asset to the company and the clients he assists. Muńoz took on a second job as a trainer's assistant at Summit Sports Club. Since landing his two jobs Muńoz's self-esteem and self-confidence have increased considerably. Muńoz now is considering beginning a vocational career.

The MSCs stand in solidarity with the victims of human trafficking and the plight of immigrants around the globe. They remember their own roots as immigrants and are followers of a Savior whose family fled into exile. Their rule of life, set forth in their Constitutions, states, "as Missionary Sisters of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, we must be open to all people because Jesus welcomed all and gave Himself for all." The Sisters pledge to educate themselves and others regarding the prevalence, causes, and solutions to both these topics.
Many people assume that trafficked persons in America come primarily from other countries illegally smuggled immigrants, tricked by the promise of employment. While this is the case for some victims, surprisingly, most victims are not foreigners. They are actually young women and children born in the United States (every 10 minutes a woman or child is trafficked in the U.S.). In fact, according to the Department of Justice report, more than four-fifths of victims in confirmed sex trafficking incidents were identified as U.S. citizens (83%). After drug dealing, human trafficking is tied with the illegal arms trade as the second largest criminal industry in the world, and it is the fastest growing.
With this in mind, the MSCs have created a new coalition Cabrini Action and Advocacy. Advocacy is taking Action to help people say what they want, secure their rights, represent their interests and obtain services they need. Advocacy promotes social inclusion, equality and social justice for all.
What is Human Trafficking?
The United Nations Office on Drugs and Crimes states: "Human trafficking is a crime against humanity. It involves an act of recruiting, transporting, transferring, harboring or receiving a person through use of force, coercion or other means, for the purpose of exploiting them."
Human trafficking is modern-day slavery. We thought slavery ended with the Emancipation Proclamation. It's alive and well today with more slaves than at any point in history. In fact, there are twice as many slaves today as during the entire trans-Atlantic slave trade. (Estimated at 27 million worldwide.)
Signs of Human Trafficking
• Is the person accompanied by a controlling person or boss? • Does the person speak on his or her own behalf? • Does the person lack control over personal schedule, money, ID, travel documents? • Is the person transported to or from work? • Does the person live and work in the same place? • Does the person owe a debt to employer/crew leader? • Is the person unable to leave his or her job? • Does the person seem afraid, depressed or overly submissive? • Does the person have bruises or other signs of physical abuse?
Most trafficking victims fit a very similar profile. Most of them have been forced into prostitution. Most of them have been raped and physically assaulted numerous times. Victims generally will not maintain eye contact. Most of them appeared to be very depressed, for obvious reasons. All of them showed signs of post traumatic stress disorder.
The female victims in public places usually sit gathered around other victims. They appear to be somewhat separated from the crowd, including the legitimate employees. They will all be dressed in similar inexpensive clothing. This clothing is commonly revealing, and the victims will appear uncomfortable wearing revealing clothing.
The victims generally have no idea of where they are, not even what city they are in. They have no financial assets. Many of them live in an apartment that was rented by the traffickers, or their owner. They share this apartment with many other victims.
The victims will not usually speak to anyone other than a "client" due to the fear of repercussions from the trafficker. They will usually only be seen in a bar, hotel or other places they are working in. They are usually not allowed out in the public. There are generally one or more people who are in charge of the victims when they are in the bar, hotel, etc. and at the location where they are being housed.
End Human Trafficking Creator of all of us, our words cannot express what our minds can barely comprehend and our hearts feel when we hear of children and adults deceived and transported to unknown places for purposes of sexual exploitation and forced labor because of human greed. Our hearts are saddened and our spirits angry that their dignity and rights are being transgressed through threats, deception and force. We cry out against the degrading practice of trafficking and seek ways for it to end. Strengthen the fragile-spirited and broken-hearted. Make real your promises to fill these, our sisters and brothers with a love that is tender and good and send the exploiters away empty-handed. Give us the wisdom and courage to stand in solidarity with them, that together we will find ways to the freedom that is your gift to all of us. Amen. Gen Cassani, SSND
Help Save a Life
One goal of the Cabrini Action and Advocacy Coalition is to be a social change vehicle that seeks to reveal the realities of human trafficking and to change cultural norms surrounding the issue. By increasing understanding of human trafficking, more victims will be identified and protected and more traffickers will be identified and prosecuted.
Please join us in the fight to finally end slavery. Learn the signs of human trafficking - it could be taking place right next door to you. One phone call could save a life! Since trafficking thrives on secrecy, the more you know, the more you can do to prevent it. Place the Anti-Human Trafficking Hotline number in your cell phone today 888-3737-888.

Teresa Shaw accepts the Victor Hall Leadership Award from The Arc of NC Board President Ann Balogh
Self-Advocate Teresa Shaw received the Victor Hall Leadership Award, recognizing outstanding leadership in the self-advocacy field. This prestigious award honors Victor Hall, a true self-advocate and leader in the self-advocacy movement.
The Arc of Davidson County received the Distinguished Affiliate Award again this year at the 2013 Annual Meeting of The Arc of North Carolina. This honor recognizes the dedication, commitment, and the professionalism of the chapters of The Arc. A chapter that receives the Distinguished Affiliate recognition has met stringent criteria and has provided advocacy, instituted programs, encouraged diversity, participated in and supported activities that benefit people with intellectual and developmental disabilities in their communities. The Arc of Davidson County was one of nine chapters out of 35 affiliated chapters state-wide to receive this recognition.
The Arc of Davidson County was also awarded with the Communicator's Award for outstanding communication efforts that connect people throughout Davidson County.
History of The Arc of Davidson County, Inc
The Arc of Davidson County was founded in 1964 by families of children with intellectual and developmental disabilities. We are committed to securing for all people with intellectual and developmental disabilities the opportunity to choose and realize their goals of where and how they learn, live, work and play. The Arc of Davidson County is an affilated chapter of The Arc of North Carolina and The Arc of the United States.
Initially, local meetings were held in homes of the members, and later in a courtroom at the Davidson County Courthouse. Members attended workshops and conventions across the state to gather information to benefit the local agency.
In 1970, members developed a plan and voted as their goal to open a daycare center. With no state funds available, members borrowed money from local banks for start up money, held fundraising events, recruited parent and volunteer support. This started what operates today as the Developmental Center at South Lexington Primary School. It opened in the First Lutheran Church in Lexington. In 1975, the Right to Education Federal Law was passed – school systems had until 1982 to provide programs within the school system. The Arc played an important role in the passing of this law in North Carolina. The Arc of North Carolina brought a lawsuit against the state of North Carolina, and the law is known today as the Public Law 94-142. In 1980, The Arc Board of Directors approached the Lexington City School System and asked them to take over operations of the Developmental Center. State and Federal funds were allocated to schools, and the City of Lexington did not have a classroom program in place. The agreement between the city school system and The Arc was that the program would also serve county children. The Arc went through hard times financially to keep the program in place.
With the help of the Davidson County 4 – H Extension office in 1976,The Arc organized 4-H clubs for the children with disabilities in Lexington and Thomasville. This was the first 4-H program in the state for people with disabilities. The group met and attended 4-H summer camp with typically developing children for 11 years– this was the beginning of inclusion into the statewide 4-H program. Persons who are no longer a part of the 4-H program are now members of the Self-Advocacy Program.
The Arc opened its first office in 1978 on West Center Street in Lexington, staffed by volunteers for the first year, and then with a part-time Director. Later, the office was moved to a Talbert Boulevard location and shared space with the then Lexington Area United Way. After this building was sold, the office moved to the old Grimes School and shared space with the Area Mental Health Program. In 1981, the Area Mental Heath Program approached The Arc to take over operation of two (2) group homes that were being licensed by the Department of Social Services.
Remodeling had to be completed along with numerous improvements, again board members signed notes at the bank to borrow monies to be used as operating funds. The Arc purchased the home located at 6 Vance Circle with a block building in back. The building was renovated and housed The Arc administrative offices. The home was remodeled and begin operation as a group home with residents being moved from one of the original homes through mental health. The Arc is the owner of both the Vance Circle home and the office building in the back of the home. Purchase of the home was made possible through fundraisers and agency solicitation.
In 1982, The Arc filed an application with Arc/HDS for a grant to build a new group home. Between 1982 and 1996, funding has been received for four (4) new group homes supporting 23 individuals with disabilities. The people who once lived in the Vance Circle home moved into that last group home that was built in November, 1996. The administrative offices are now housed at the Vance Circle location.

Hi -
We recently had several Pella windows installed. The architect series casements are fairly sound-proof. The pro-line double-hungs, which face the same direction, seem to allow much more noise. There is a high-pitched hum in the room where they are located which is absent from the room with the casements. It always sounds in that room as though the windows aren't quite closed, even when they are locked. Any suggestions as to cause? Is it the windows, or the installation (I dread pulling them apart, as I just finished doing the interior stain work myself, while in denial about the annoying noise level...) Thanks for your ideas. |
Follow-Up Postings:
- Posted by windowsonwashington (My Page) on Wed, Jan 13, 10 at 9:03
Casements are always going to be significantly more airtight than the equivalent series double hung. Some Double Hungs are much more airtight than others and Pella is not at the top of that list. I would check the capping (if any) around the whistling windows as well as the weatherstripping and sash tracks. |
agreed sounds to me like the weatherstrip is not sealing the units somewhere, whether the units are not square, or the weatherstrip is missing or crushed. Those are some of the first things to look for |

Levenger Bottled Ink
Shipping Information
Customer Service
Corporate Pricing
We promise to deliver quality and value in every
Levenger product. If you are not 100% satisfied,
please let us know and we'll make it right.
Levenger Bottled Ink
Price: $12.00
Item: PR0220
Dip into a classic American microbrew
If you still practice the ancient and satisfying art of writing with a fountain pen, you should be rewarded with ink that more than satisfies. Levenger Bottled Ink is what fountain pen ink should be: smooth and rich, designed to last, formulated to delight.
Why you'll experience such a satisfying write
Levenger inks resist fading as well as feathering. They are moist on your nib but dry readily on your paper (especially helpful for left-handed writers). They're lightfast and maintain a crisp line without spreading. The even saturation ensures no skipping.
And Levenger inks come in a panoply of colors -- to match your mood, suit the occasion, enliven the page.
Enjoy ink that's American-made and rigorously tested
We brew Levenger ink right here in the U.S. The formula is closely held and conforms to our exacting specifications. As part of our testing, we've asked professional calligraphers to put the inks through their paces.
Levenger inks have also been time-tested by the many customers who have dipped their nibs into a bottle. We've been offering this microbrew since 1998.
Buy your Levenger ink by the bottle or the six-pack
Choose how you wish to color your writing world -- bottle by different-color bottle, or in one of the prepackaged six-packs we offer.
And yes, Levenger fountain pen cartridges contain the same finely formulated ink.
A few tips about the colors of Levenger inks
The Raven Black is semi-permanent, and therefore ideal for record-keeping. The other colors are washable.
In the photo, the color you see in the bottle is lightened a bit to better show you the ink color. To see the color that your ink will be on paper, see the color blocks under 'Choose Color' (below).
50 ml
Glass bottle
Inkwell inside the bottle for easier dipping
Dip your nib into the ink designed to perform on the page with every stroke of your pen.
Levenger Bottled Ink
First bottle, but not my last
The variety of colors offered made it tough for me to pick any one bottle! That being said, I am quite impressed with my first ever bottled ink! It is quite smooth and crisp, and I can attest to the ink's strength since I got some on my fingers while filling my pen (I'm a beginner, ok? :) and have yet to find something strong enough to wash it off...
July 30, 2014
Great Product
I have been using Levenger bottled ink for years. The colors stay true, flows perfectly. Best bottled ink I have ever tried.
January 15, 2015
Beautiful color
I have used various Levenger inks over the years, but I had never purchased a green one. It is really pretty. I should've purchased two bottles.
December 26, 2014
First bottled ink
This is the first bottle Ive ever purchased, and it is beautifully packaged. The ink is a deep blue and I can't wait to ink up my first pen with it.
December 26, 2014
True Pigments and as Smooth as can Be
I have used Levenger Inks even before I started purchasing their pens and other products. I have done calligraphy in the past and inks from most other manufacturers either have muted colors or nasty sediment that will clog a pen over time. These inks are true colored and pigmented to show off your favorite color boldly. No matter how high resolution your monitor is, the inks inner beauty shimmers when you first begin to write on paper. The inks write extremely smooth as well with no skipping or bleeding like you will find with lower quality inks. I have not found these inks to fade easily as well, as I still have some documents I signed in Amethyst several years ago still hold that brilliance just as the day when I first signed them. I love these inks due to the color being nearly impossible to recreate. I work for a financial institution and when I sign a document I know the original cannot be recreated. Even with a high end color copier, the ink from Levenger will not show true to give me piece of mind when I send a signed document out that I can show validity with my original signature. I highly recommend purchasing one Raven Black and a couple of your favorite color. Once you start using these inks, you will not want to use any other!
December 10, 2014
Raven Black inc
Garbage not smooth flowing because of this does not wright continually.
December 4, 2014
Skies Of Blue
My first encounter with Messrs Levenger, Ordering system is first class as was indeed the packing, shipping and progress advice. The quality of the ink is only surpassed by the art form of the glass bottle. I am a totally delighted first time customer. Well done to all concerned!
December 2, 2014
Raven Black -- Does not want to Flow
I've been writing with a Levenger Steath pen since last Christmas, and I absolutely love it. When I first received the pen, I purchased a bottle of ink from a local stationary company, and it took me until recently to use up that bottle. Because over the last year I've grown increasingly fond of Levenger as a brand, I decided to send my business their direction, so I ordered my replacement bottle of ink from them, thinking that the only thing that could be better than using one of their pens was using one of their pens with their ink in it. Imagine my surprise when, upon the first fill, my pen suddenly doesn't want to write! Once I can get the ink to flow, I really like the shading and depth of the black. It's much richer than the previous ink I used. And of course the bottle is nicely styled. But having to fight every time I start writing again after a pause of more than 20 seconds is incredibly frustrating. I'm hoping that after I cycle through a couple fills of the adapter, things will get sorted out and start flowing correctly, and if they do, I'll come back and change this review; if not, I'll get rid of this ink. Either way, after a few days of writing with this ink, I really regret not continuing with the brand I was previously using, despite my affection for the color and depth of the ink and the quality of Levenger products (especially Circa!) in general.
November 20, 2014
A long time user of Levenger inks, my primary blue had always been Cobalt Blue, which I like very much. But decided to try something different, and ordered the Empyrean blue this time. It's a lighter blue than the Cobalt, but a very nice addition to my collection. I have it in a True Writer, medium nib.
November 6, 2014
I have numerous colors of Levenger bottled ink, but was looking for something new for fall correspondence. I ordered the Blazing Sunset , and my pen and I were both happy with the result. The color of orange is perfect. Not too bright, but a beautiful vibrant shade.Puts down a nice, even line.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Chico!
Facts about Chico
- Breed: Schnauzer (Miniature)/Shih Tzu Mix
- Color: Black
- Age: Puppy
- Size: Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
- Sex: Male
Chico's Info...
I am already neutered, up to date with shots, good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.
**Courtesy Posting: If interested contact email@example.com***
This is Chico. He is about 15 weeks old and about 8 lbs. This sweet boy will be the perfect companion in an apartment or a house, good with other dogs, kids and even cats.
If you are interested, please contact email@example.com
Other Pets at Rookie's Rescue -
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Chico, a Ballston Spa Schnauzer (Miniature)/Shih Tzu puppy was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Schnauzer (Miniature)/Shih Tzu for sale in Ballston Spa, or seeking a Schnauzer (Miniature)/Shih Tzu puppy from a breeder in Ballston Spa.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Ballston Spa already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Ballston Spa breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Schnauzer (Miniature)/Shih Tzu breeders who help with Schnauzer (Miniature)/Shih Tzu rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Ballston Spa paves the way for another one to be saved.

W47, with a twist of ISE.
September 12, 2010 in World 047 News, World News
Howdy! I'm back once again with "W47, with a twist of ISE." as farooq is still pre-occupied with stuff in RL. I didn't get much feedback last week, although what I did get I appreciate. This seems to indicate one of three things; (1) No-one cares =P, (2) I'm perfect (unlikely) or (3) The world is fairly inactive and no-one actually read the blog ^.^ . Anyways, this week I'll be doing several smaller articles instead of the traditional longer one. There are a few reasons for this, the main one being smaller articles tend to need less rambling on/bullcrapping from me. Again, I apologise in advance for any discrepancies you guys/gals find in this blog. Feel free to send me a PM regarding an issue you think is false and I'll be happy to take a second look at it.
Anyways.. I hope everyone likes the blog, and with that, I present you with the second edition of "W47, with a twist of ISE". Enjoy <3>
War? Another war? What the.. A third one?!

TORONTO -- Warriors coach Mark Jackson joined point guard Stephen Curry in a postpractice shooting session Sunday. And as they drained jumper after jumper, Jackson brought a smile to Curry's face by describing what was happening.
"It's such a beautiful thing," Jackson said, "two pure shooters just getting up shots together. Beautiful."
The fan base, and maybe even some players, might be getting nervous after Golden State dropped two straight games to beatable teams. But Jackson went the extra mile to show he wasn't too worried. He made Sunday's practice optional. And when most of the players showed up, he kept the mood light.
Better believe it's calculated, the ploy of a coach building a reputation for getting the most out of his roster.
"People don't realize. I've still got to do that," Jackson said. "We're not going to overreact, because we know who we are. Looking at the big picture, we lost two games on the road and we've got two left."
Jackson received high praise last season for getting a roster loaded with rookies, journeymen and NBA Development League call-ups to play hard. But perhaps what he's been able to pull off this season is more impressive.
He's down two key players, he has three rookies in his rotation, his most productive lineup consists of three guards and two forwards, and his best players are B-list stars.
Yet, the Warriors have done so well that consecutive road losses in January -- to Chicago and Milwaukee -- look more like the beginning of the end.
"We have to realize what we have to do to get it back'" Jackson said. "We've got a group of guys who understand who we are. ... We have a team that has a history of bouncing back. We'll do that. But at the same time, it's my job as a coach to basically bring it out of guys."
Jackson has said his team isn't as good as many think it is and not as bad people expect it to be. That in-between stage requires plenty manipulation and maneuvering.
He has had to pull out all the stops this year, making the most of what he has. And that is especially true now.
In Jackson's two seasons as coach, this is the first time the Warriors are being the hunted. With nine games left before the All-Star break, six of them on the road, the Warriors are jockeying for seeding instead of trying to convince themselves they're still in it.
But Golden State's rookies -- Harrison Barnes, Festus Ezeli and Draymond Green -- appear to be hitting the wall, or at least struggling now that the league is figuring them out. Second-year guard Klay Thompson is finding consistency elusive. And playing so many minutes at center seems to be catching up with All-Star forward David Lee.
Jackson has a worthy challenge on his hands -- getting his guys to silence the doubters and live up to suddenly raised expectations. He'll assuredly dig up a few Muhammad Ali stories to fire up his guys, a few sermons to give them perspective and some straight talk to keep them humble.
"He's a guy that's always in there talking to us, trying to level with us," Curry said. "Some coaches don't have that type of relationship with their players. But he's always around."
"That's a big commitment," Curry said.
