There is one of those inthe phone box. It is pretty small so it is easily overlooked.
Oh I got the tool okay. A small paperclip would work as well. Found the slot, got it open, slid out the tray. The SD card just lays in there. The slightest jiggle moves it. I was too jigglie & it kept moving before I could slide it shut. That dumb hand thing. Got the Googlie stuff done pretty much automatically since all I had to do was sign into Google. But transferring apps, pictures, & messages wasn't happening without the sd card. My old Note 2 was a peice o cake to set up. The young man in the store was a sweetheart & did it all for me, wiped the old phone, & gave me store credit for that. So I got a bunch of stuff to go with. I'm liking this desktop quick charging thingie, too, but you have to get the phone on it just right for it to work.

Hey if you guys don't mind a lot of swearing or rednecks, The Ranch is kind of a funny series with Sam Elliot, Debra Winger and Ashton Kutcher. But they are definite Rednecks from the word go.
It's a cute show!

I don't know what happened to my previous reply but looks like 6 bucks and you have the choice of Ti and Kanthal. I don't think you can use Ti on VW either. So since I don't think you use TC you almost have to go with the Kanthal.

@Kenna got a good laugh from a Tweet from one of your Senators down there explaining how the Tax Cut will save you money. He said your average couple with $60K wages $25K in non corporate business income and $15K in business income will save $2603 a year. Why that sounds just like me and you doesn't it? His name was Bob Cornyn I think sound familiar?

I told ya how much I enjoy Aldi grocery. Well, there's also a new Lidl grocery that's about a mile further away from me than the Aldi.

I went to the Lidl for the first time today. It definitely won't be the last time. This store is about 3 times the size of the Aldi and has awesome meats, seafood and produce. One dozen large eggs was $0.31. That's ridiculous.! You don't have to pay a quarter to get a shopping cart, but the cashier doesn't even put your purchases back in the cart; she loads them onto another conveyor for the customer to put them back in the cart.

John Cornyn. Haven't heard what he's said. Not crazy about him.

I love Publix, but the nearest one is hundreds of miles away from me. Lidl is equal in quality and reasonably close in selection to Publix, with significantly lower prices. Yay!

@Debadoo, yes, used to be Eukanuba. They did live stream groups which started at 5 pm EST. I believe it will be televised on New Years day.
Jup, that's what I've got in my calendar to remind me. They didn't say, but it should be two nights 3 hrs each unless they've shortened it, which I hope not. I love that one and westminster cuz you get to see all the dogs in the groups judging at least. I watch em all, but those are the ones I love. Also used to love Crufts, but haven't seen that one in a long time. Last time I saw it mighta been when prolly the best Norfolk Terrier ever won and that was Coco! she was amazing. I just looked it up and they said March 8-11 but will have to search and see if it's being televised then or not. I set myself a reminder. I love the way they just let the dogs have natural coats rather than all types of fancy cuts.

I asked him how he did and he said real good.
lol good question! Glad it went well. I have had cataracts for 5 or 6 years, but they were very small when they found them. Need to get an appt set after the holidays to see if they've grown. Seems they are likely larger now based on vision, but prolly not needing surgery yet. Everyone says it doesn't hurt, but it seems freaky. I have issues with folks messin with my eyes. I did get to where I could easily put them in anywhere, but when I first got contacts in my early 20s, it would take me bout an hour to put them in, and come outta the bathroom lookin like I'd been bawlin for a week! :facepalm:

In February 2016 I visited Las Vegas. While I was there I hung out some with Bud, a horse-owning friend who lives there.

Every year Bud makes a Xmas card featuring Danny (the horse). Here's one of the pictures from this year's card.

Since he is an "honorary" porcher, here are the pictures from Geordi's Big Win Weekend. He didn't like the platform in the first picture, 2nd is much better. Pictured are the judge, G's breeder, me and of course, Geordi!

He's just so gorgeous! Love the purple ribbons of course! love the card with him and Tasha too!

I really wish we had the time and $ to get our puppy (yr old first of Jan) into flyball. I really think he'd be a natural. We thought Frankie was fast, and he is, til we got Ozzy. dil had taken the dogs to her moms for a couple days. I was in my room when they came in......I came out of my room, and Ozzy was across the living room from me. He saw me, he hunkered down, ears laid back and flew across the room to me........He went 0 to Granny in bout a half a second or less! :lol:

Well I went in yesterday for my final CT before treatment. It is planned for Wed, Th, Fri, and Tues, and Wed if the roads are ok, We are hoping they will get a chance to dry out some before we go into the deep freeze. Supposed to get to -6 Sat.
Oh also my infection was better but not gone so they put me on another week of Cipro.
hope it all goes spectacularly well!!! and glad the kids will be there!!

I haven't watched any of it, but I did put it in my list on netflix to check out. Am finally watching The Tudors now and enjoying it. Had started to watch the first episode a long time ago, but just didn't get into it then.

Good morning everybody! Just a quick fly-by. Need to get the Dobas Torte made today and tomorrow will be some final errands. Family arrives on Saturday - it's going to be a VERY full house!! Woohoo!! Even so you all are still going to be on my mind as friends I am so grateful to have in my life.
Right backatchya darlin! You and Mike both! Love y'all oodles! Just thinking about that torte makes me equally exhausted and hungry for it! :D

Which kicked in my remaining synapse into da 'where in da bayou' is our dear Debra (roto)?
huge-hug-gif-gif.707407
One of my main reasons for making sure to get on here today. I talked to her a couple days ago for quite awhile. Really nice conversation. Her opposite had some type of surgery so has been out awhile, so Roto has been mostly at work, but some reduced hours, going in later, leaving earlier when she's finished. She did say at the end of this hitch, she's going home for her 7 regardless. Hope she sticks to that. But she did say her opposite is ready to come back, doc has released her, but she has to do all the PT that Debra said was far more demanding than the job when she did it. It's supposed to mimic all the stuff they do on the job, but she said it was more worse and more exhausting.

She wanted me to wish everyone a Merry Christmas for her, and let y'all know she loves us and misses us, keeping many in her prayers each day.

Never heard of lidl. We've had an Aldi for a few years, but I've never been in it. The kids have a time or two. This one is supposed to be the best place to get dairy products. Wow .31 for a dozen eggs is fantastic!

I also wanna wish everyone the very best Christmas!! I will have a couple hours with dil's family, but will spend much of it alone.....but that suits me fine. So even for those who might be alone, or just not having the larger celebration you might want. Find peace and joy in the quiet times, and hope everyone has a very blessed Christmas!!

This asparagus that I got from Lidl is a lot bigger than any I've ever gotten at Food Lion. Tastes about the same to me, but I think I pay $4 a pound at Food Lion and this was $3 for a pound... might be the same price both places, not sure.

But a pound of fresh brussel sprouts was only $1 at Lidl and they look really good. I'll take a picture when I cook some, probably on Xmas Day.

I believe the larger asparagus is the male asparagus and the female asparagus is thinner. I like to grill my asparagus and baste them with butter while they are on the grill. Yum, making me hungry.

Diver, you have no idea how long I've been wondering how to tell them apart.

So you're telling me that Diver was kidding? I honestly thought he was being serious.
