... plus a lack of consistent proper 'wicking'.
The way this one is wicked, both ends of the wick sit in the tray, and it loops over the top of the plate, held in place by a frame, you drip onto the top of the loop.

Yep, and a cold winter night is not the time that you wanted to be reminded.

Several years ago we were out shopping after Christmas and it happened to us in the mall parking lot at 9pm. You would not believe it - we were saved by a O'Reilley Auto Parts guy that had closed up shop and was coming to the mall to pick up something on his way home. The batt was to dead to jump off so he went back to his shop - opened it up and brought the battery back to us. Then we drove over and paid for it...

I used to work for O'Reilly's. Going the extra mile like that was encouraged. :)

Well appt at Cyberknife went well. I took a xanax and was able to lay perfectly still while breathing normally and they were able to get the computer locked in, so no need of pellets. Ginny snapped some pics so you could see my resting place

And this was in my final position for 1 hour. The machine in the back comes out and aims the radiation at exact locations and moves around you to different spots. I start Dec 26th then every other day for 5 sessions with a break at New Years. Oh and the light on the ceiling is a picture of trees lit up.

So that's what it looks like. Thanks for the pictures, it's very interesting. Anytime they can zap something inside the body without having to cut is amazing and you don't even have to get stuck inside a tube!

Well nothhin is the same anymore. Back in the old days when I was single and didn't have much, I used to like Kraft Mac and Cheese occasionally cheap and was ok. So just for the heck of it I picked up a box, first thing it wasn't mac it was minions, then instead of adding 1/4 cup milk and same butter now you add 1/2tblsp butter, 3tblsp of milk, the minions turned into goo and the whole thing tasted like you know what. The name of the game now cut corners charge more and lousy product.

I've noticed that about other products and vendors. Some manufacturers are willing to sell their reputations cheaply.
Yep we were just talking about it yesterday, foodwise nothing is like it used to be from meat to veggies to fruit. Forget canned goods and any other product its all crap anymore. Stuff like meat the animals are raised like a manufacturing plant and they taste like it. You think of something that sounds good and its alway a let down.

As far as veggies and fruit goes - frozen is the best - picked at the closest to ripe that they can let it get - quick frozen within hours in most cases and little if no preservatives...

Canned - avoid it these days like the plague. To much in the can besides what you are trying to consume...

And fresh - well it was picked about 2 weeks early and let ripen over the days that it took to process it and ship it through a processing center and delivery to a store - in some cases they pick it so early they have to spray it to get it to ripen faster for you to see as a fresh product...

That's probably due to our demand for quick/easy/convenient meals/'fresh' food products. Can't think of any of our regions that one could not get fresh vegs and meats; especially considering our global connections nowadays. Keep in mind dat our parents/grandparents varied their seasonal diets based upon da local seasonal product availability! Ever wonder why our fore-parents canned/salted/pickled/etc.?

How old were ya when ya could first obtain oranges in summer, 'maters/peaches in winter, cherries in early spring and etc.? Most are available year round today.

Correct me if I'm wrong... but we are soooo spoiled and demanding <and vulnerable>!!!

I guess I'm just trying' to remind folk to count their blessings as opposed to biatchin' 'bout their perceived 'slights'.

BTW, it's not been an enjoyable past several days re Patty's situation. Ergo, my quest for the positives and my near intolerance for banal complainin'.

May all our Porchers realize their blessings and revel in this Holy Season!

Peace out...

And homemade is still good too. I'm talking mainly about real easy to prepare stuff. Costco has some really good but it's always enough to feed and Army but they got some good stuff and we try to eat it all.
