Since it's over, I guess it's ok if the spoiler displays...Saw Judge (the Terv) in his group competition (The Herding Group). What a beautiful dog! Didn't win.But, the German Shepherd did and I'm glad. They seldom win and I had a show quality shepherd for 15 years.
Oh, my friend Michelle was released from the hospital today and is at home! Yes, not a rehab center. She is doing better than they thought she would. Praise God!
Have you ever tried one of those neti pots/sinus rinses? I know an ENT doctor that uses one twice a day with great results. It can't be pleasant, but I'm sure it beats chronic sinus infections. I found a bottle that looks like it's easier to use than a neti pot called Nasopure (I haven't tried it). Look how happy she is - lol!
I saw it, too, he was gorgeous! Deb has to record the show to watch later, do she hasn't seen it yet. That's why we're supposd to use the Spoilers. So we don't spoil it for her. She so looks forward to the dog shows.
I heard it all the way over here, so must have been really frightening for you! Yea, it was around 2:30, but that rain.....o...that rain! Were you able to get back to sleep?
Well, yes, I'd say that is incredible......we were at 48o this morning.I'm loving the rain today.....I have an incredible ....warm temp of 51...
Of course....it's just for today....going back down tonight, but such a nice reprieve from what I've been having here...
Now, that IS scary but rather expected! My brother was Assistant Dean at New Paltz University, and I do swear, he had no common sense.When I was working on my masters degree I was graduate assistant to a professor running an all day technology workshop for teachers of disabled kids.
1st She forgot the completion certificates in her office and sent me for them.
2nd She couldn't find her pen to sign them. So I handed her mine. Your basic Bic stick pen. She couldn't figure out how to open it until I pulled the cap off for her.
Yeah that was an interesting semester.
Yep, the worst part of that is NO COOKIES!Hi everyone!
So...yesterday was a very trying day....I discovered that my mind is deteriorating quicker than my body.
Now bear in mind that I've been making chocolate chip cookies for over a half a century...but yesterday i failed..miserably and completely..I wound up throwing out a total of five dozen cookies...
Background... I hadn't make cookies in months and i had a strong desire for them for days, so i finally decided to make some yesterday, and decided to make a double batch so i could give a two dozen for my GD and two dozen for a neighbor and, of course, a dozen or so for me.
I used a 1-cup aluminum measuring cup for the flour, then poured it into the large glass measuring cup...did this four times plus one as the recipe calls for 2 1/2 c. for a batch.Then I added the other dry ingredients, mixed it up, then put together the wet ingredients, mixed into the dry ingredients in increments, stirring each time....but it didn't blend well...too dry....added more shortening and brown sugar...still was too dry...added a little more shortening...the color was still too pale...more brown sugar.... really hard to blend...tasted it...awful!!!!
Threw the whole damn mess out....tried to figure out what i did wrong...my word, I've ALWAYS made great chocolate chip cookies
Back to the kitchen, washed all the bowls and things,tried again, using the proper amount of ingredients... but only a single batch this time, I was running outa steam...thank goodness know one would know that i could screw up a recipe that I'd been making forever ( I chuckled to myself...after i got done throwing a few fits...)
Hmmm... the brown sugar is kinda hard...how to soften it...the pkg. said to put it in a microwavable bowl and set the timer in 20 second increments....did that two times before i thought it was soft enough, proceeded to make another batch...looks ok...tastes ok...in the oven they go... first two dozen look good.....tried one after they cooled enough....crisp!!! what?!
Took the second two dozen out of the oven before it was as dark as the first....put the last cookie sheet in the oven...tried a cookie from the second dozen...hmmm... not up to my standards...Kept an eagle eye on the last dozen...took them out when i could tell they weren't even nearly cooked enough...let them cool, tried one...yuck!!!!
I have come to the conclusion that my brain is, in fact, deteriorating a lot quicker than my ole body
And I've been recuperating since yesterday with a lotta naps and outright sleep.....
and no cookies
Dat's wat I'm tawkin bout!
Small enclosed space. Instinct I guess but, my cats found spaces like that too. That's why I built them "cat caves". Basically carpet lined and covered boxes on a small stand that they could hide in and still survey their territory.I did...waited a few minutes to see if the cat would come running first
He probably headed behind the toilet tho.
Not a clue as to why he goes there to hide from storms !

I saw it! Thank you.
The storms came through here about 1-2 am. Tasha gets paranoid during storms since one summer there was a huge crack of lightning/thunder almost in the back yard. I jumped too! This morning she woke me up, so I went into another bedroom where she is allowed on the bed and we snuggled through the rain.
