I would be posting more but I can't seem to get off of the Temu website. OMgosh, it is addictive. I have received one order and it was like Christmas and I am waiting on another one that should be here this week. Sheesh! I can't remember if I told y'all about it. Well anyway, I need to refrain from looking there because I always see something I want or something to put on my wishlist. I don't see many Amazon deliveries in my future.

Looks like another 90 degree day with a mix of clouds and sun. Stray showers are always a possibility in the summer. In all it should be a nice day - inside in the AC.

I hope you don't think I'm being intrusive .. I have saved photos from many, many ECF past and current members .. a photo is a 1/125th of a second slice of time travel



Well, Janet, I will say that, my respect is high, yet, as you probably know, I don't always agree with both of you ..

that's life, that's what all the people say, you're riding high in April, shot down in May ..
Definitely don't think you're being intrusive. If we posted a photo it was meant to be seen or even shown again later.

What a dull life this would be if we all agreed on everything. No worries, we have to plans to cancel you.

Only 5 at our Girl's Night Out but it was fun. I got a ACP Chicken Salad and it was good. I filled them in on all my shenanigans and of course, everyone was laughing. It is always so funny when we get together.

It was so nice today mowing only my yard. I got finished in no time at all. It felt weird. I kept looking around thinking surely I had missed something but I didn't. I don't mind helping anyone but I like being responsible for only my yard. I can't believe I did not time myself. I will next time. I guess going 13 miles an hour covers the ground fast.

My friend Cindy is taking her grandkids camping and has asked me to watch her dog. I would do anything she asked but this dog is old and not really healthy. I know it takes medication. She took her camping last time and it was just too much for the little dog and she had to carry her around most of the time. So I need everyone to send good thoughts to me when I start doggie sitting. Do you know how traumatized I would be if this little dog passed while in my care? Whew. I don't even want to think about it. Bailey knows me. I used to cut her nails. She is a long-haired weenie dog and cute as can be. A little chunky right now because of her meds. Oh well, I will take good care of her.

Hope everyone had a great start to their week. :wub:
I think smaller groups are more fun anyway. It seems easier to really connect with people. Glad you had fun.

Surely your friend would understand if something went wrong for the dog while she was away. As long as you have the vets phone # and know how to get to their office or an emergency vet you should be good. If a problem comes up your friend has a cell phone right? You could always call her or at least call the office of the camp where she'll be staying so they could contact her. My theory is that usually if you're well prepared it won't happen. Enjoy the pup and don't worry.

    Temu is great and you can return stuff for free and prices are really good. They will also give you free items and other times, they won't have you return and just refund so it is a win win. I love all the little gadgets (I am a gadget queen). That is where I got my sprouting kits, pineapple and pepper corers among many other things.

    Morning, all.

    Had a nice break in the temp yesterday, mid 70s, slight breeze. No rain, of course. Temp back up for a while, but not the oven in other places, and, well, no floods.

    It's really not all that 'hard' to remember .. the good news is, there are various methods with which to 'stiffen' and add 'rigidity' to a structurally deficient 'member' ..

    I thought you were an engineer .. :eek:

    Nope. Power plant (and marine/shipyard) electrician, responsible for fixing engineering errors and keeping the lights on :) Everything from the computer controls to the 110,000 volt switchyards.

    Remember how many nails I was picking up after having the roof installed? I said something to my friend and he ended up telling the man that did my roof. I did not really mean for him to but this morning the man that owns the company came over with a big industrial magnet and went over the yard and apologized for his people not getting them up.

    He actually found a bunch more. I feel better about mowing around the house now. I just was afraid of getting a flat tire on my lawnmower. I was very pleased with the roof and now I feel better about him too. It has been a good day. :wub:

    Want to talk about a big tease? The man called me today to tell me that the gun I ordered had come in. I was so excited and told him I would be right there. Nope, he said his company had its own policy and you couldn't buy more than 1 gun a week. Is that the silliest thing you've ever heard of? So I have to wait until Monday the 24th since I just bought one. On top of everything else, their policy does not include weekends even though they are open Saturday and Sunday. GRRR

    That's okay, I like the anticipation when it is something good!

    I did not really want to go out to eat again tonight but when I called to check on her, she seemed a little depressed so she needs some 1on1 time with me. I'll make her feel better. Or at least make her laugh.

    Hope everyone has a nice evening. :wub:

    Whoa! I remember those people! Not sure who that woman in the mirror was this morning though.

    Her who, your aunt? I bet you made you feel better too so it's a win-win. Plus, you get bonus points if you brought home leftovers.

    Oops. Sorry. Yes, it was my aunt. I am not too worried now. She was so excited that I came and took her. We split a meal because the place we went gives such big servings. We had hamburger steak, pintos, collards, mac-n-cheese, and of course cornbread. It's funny, she always says she is going to pay and I tell her she can get it next time. I tell her to leave the tip and she seems happy. She did not act depressed at all tonight. I wonder if I got "fooled". If I did, it worked.

    After I left my aunts, I went to the gym. Have never been this late. Still only 2 people there. I had time to walk a little over an hour on the treadmill and do a few weights. They closed at 9 so I just left and went to get my Slushie. I love Slushies.

    Hope everyone sleeps well. :wub:

    Going to be watching the little dog from Sunday through Thursday. I offered to stay down there so Bailey could just stay at home but Cindy said she would be fine at my house. Doesn't matter to me. It will be so nice to have a dog in my bed again. Four-legged, not 2.
    1Winking.gif
    Last time I was down there Bailey sat in my lap. I think she remembers that I cut her toenails for years.

    I hope it doesn't make me go to the pound and adopt one though. I don't need anything to take care of right now, other than myself.

    Hope everyone had a great day. Sleep well all. :wub:
