Did you use the coupon GOLD10 for 10% off today and tomorrow?

Sir, No Sir .. I did not think about looking for a coupon .. the stuff I bought was cheap enough, 10% would have saved me $3.00 bucks .. but, I did find out that batteries are not free shipping .. well, $3.00 bucks is still $3.00, especially from me, the Tightwad .. :eek:

Relief in sight ..

As the continued renovation of the old STL Union Station, "The Wheel" opened up .. I guess giant ferris wheels are a thing these days ..



It was really hot and humid here today, but we'll be getting some relief soon too. Can't wait! I want to open the windows!!

Wow, your Wheel has closed gondolas! I always loved the ferris wheel until I went on one with our daughter who was 4 and they stopped it to let my son who was 6 run out to get on with us. Now my son would get white knuckled on the bottom rung of a ladder so I was worried that he was going to freak out as it went up. The gondolas were wide open with nothing but a bar and my arms to keep the kids seated. Of course I couldn't even reach the bar while I held both kids on either side of me. Sure enough my son started to panic and got the gondola was rocking so I got him in a headlock and made him focus on my wedding ring and kept talking to him the whole time. I was weak kneed by the time we got off. We might have actually enjoyed it if the gondola was closed. I'd go on your new STL Wheel even if it does cost $15! Love the view from the top!

Good morning, Loungers! :)

Taking Abby to the vet this morning. Evidently, she found one of those dang Cuban Tree Frogs in her dog run, and had 2 seizures on Tuesday. We didn't connect until Peter went out with her on Tuesday night just to keep an eye out in case she had another seizure, and with a flashlight caught not one, but three of those nasty critters.
Bringing printed out sheets of info from University of Florida Wildlife Ecology & Conservation just in case we get accused of animal cruelty or some such thing.....what an upsetting thing. Eating my pond fish was bad enough, but you hurt my dog, and that's quite another story.
Don't hurt my family or my animals cause that will have dire consequences.

How ironic! We talked about this just on Tuesday morning!

Good morning Janet.

I sure enjoy reading about your veggie gardening. It reminds me of mine when we lived up north and we grew enough so I didn't have to buy any veggies during the growing season. I so miss this. In Florida you can only grow comparably to the north in the fall/winter…by reversing the growing months. In northern FL I plant my seedlings in late February but by the end of June it's so hot that everything dies out. We're supposed to have a second, short, season in the fall but it lasts maybe a month.

And forget about growing decent tomatoes. They have tough skins and little flavor. The only tomatoes that work here are cherries. On my gardening forum we spend more time discussing tomato varieties to try than any other veggie.

Update on Abby's visit to the vet:

Vet was doubtful that is was the Cuban Tree Frog......but, with all of the warnings I've received from neighbors and the neighboring counties to keep our animals far away from these 'things' both hubby and I are in agreement about her assessment. I wouldn't argue with the research that has been done by Dr. Johnson of U.of Florida Wildlife Conservatory.

Nevertheless, she took blood work to eliminate any other possibilities; (tumor, thyroid).

She also suggested phenobarbital down the line if seizures were to continue!!!! I don't think I'd do that to her.......I was on that for many a year way back when, and I was in zombie mode for a very long time in my life. The damage done by pheno and dilantin are irreversible! Fortunately, I'm a survivor/fighter and won't put up with MY weakness, IYKWIM! :)

Anyway, that's where it stands of now!

Memory...

I watched a video early this morning that has brought this song running through my mind...


Please don't post videos like this. They make my eyes leak and sinuses run. :cry:
This morning I woke up and I was in my recliner. My tablet was resting on my chest and still powered on. Sure played heck with my average for Spider Solitare.

I'm sorry...:( I think the reason songs like this resonate so much is because there aren't many who make it through life without heartache. Some more than others, and the fortunate with less.
