Your Daily Activity

The LORD bless both of you, LFF and Glad, oh and Harold.

The humidity seems to have lifted a bit
Today so far I have watered a bit of tomatoes and kale/
Went to ALDI, bought wet-wipes / Baby-wipes.
They come in handy instead of grabbing a washcloth.
Glad, the quake was in Sparta, N/C.
It was felt as a tremor in parts of S.C. In the upper part of the state.

I have collected and mailed one petition to reduce the Lock-down
power of the Gov. I have two signers on my second one and will
get at least three more this evening. I'm strongly considering getting
the petitions for Recalling Whitmer. We simply cannot expect President Trump
to carry this entire load alone. It is amazing what he is doing under such pressure.

You may not want to listen.
My brain at first rejected it, but I believe it's true.

And this surprises you?

red light

Good. Is the b ottom of the mouse clean, and are you using a mouse pad?

I went back and re-read this thread......I for one find it somewhat confusing and I am sure I am one that confused it. I will try to keep up with on a daily basis instead of a post here and there. The one I quoted of LFF was about the mouse I am using and it does have a red light.

LFF the mouse seems to be clean and I do not have a mouse pad.....tried using a piece of cardboard but that did not help.

Next time I am a Walmart I will get a new mouse.....but I would prefer one without a wire for the lap top

Mice are cheap, Glad.
Now as far as my daily activity goes, I had the mistaken idea, years ago, that retirement would meanrelaxing on a porch swing, listening to the birds sing...
Well, that ain't happening! We did get to go out for breakfast. I bought breakfast for 3 strangers, gave our waitress a $10 tip, and gave $15 to the lady who busses the tables. I won't be able to do that when Dawn moves out.

Today, I'll be driving Dawn to Brighton for her treatment again. It's a 2 hour drive at 75 to 80 mph..- Longer if there's road construction......

Went to Brighton yesterday. Drove a little slower. Took 2 hours, 15 minutes. Stopped at Big Boy's in Wayland on the way back. Made the return trip a little longer.
Today, we'll be taking Chipper downtown for a walk, stop by the bank for statements for Dawn (who doesn't save her statements), and bring donations to the Salvation Army Store.

What is Big Boys LFF?

Today I slept in. Was nice. Yesterday I went to Aldi and Ruler (a Kroger affiliate) and bought a bunch of groceries . I am finally getting back to almost normal in the stock up area. The garden did not do as well as I hoped this year so I will need to start stocking up can goods for the winter.

Thanks LFF

Yes, LFF I am surprised. It's beyond my imagination,
the sex trafficking and abuse of children, especially
among people high up in our Government, naive,
I reckon.

Glad, my gardens are just coming in good. I picked
and froze 2 quarts of green beans today. I believe
they will grow another batch, if we get rain. The
Bell peppers are disappointing. I hope the produce
farms around here have good ones for freezing.
We hope to stock up on everything we need. Who
knows what will happen next in this country.

Has the humidity been terrible in your area? This
seems the worst I recall. Or else my age makes me more
sensitive to the effects of high humidity.

LFF, you're a blessing to food handlers. Bless you.

most people don't realize how hard food servers work, and the abuse they have to put up with, while remaining calm and focused.

I'm going to do as little as possible today till this evening, when I hope to take Dawn to a concert in the park from 7 to 9.
Dawn talked me into taking her to the casino for a few hours yesterday afternoon. I lost 60 dollars, and Dawn came back $400 ahead.

Sorry you lost 60 dollars LFF

Thanks. Shoulda stayed home.

Dawn should at least share #60.00 out of her winnings.

My housemate walks 6 miles most days. A couple of days ago,
he found a $50.00 bill along his way. All wet and rumpled. No
chance of finding who lost it.

About all I did today was visit Little Chuckie. The humidity gets to him too.
I won't keep him out real long, he begins panting, tongue hanging out.

Wishing you all cooler days and good health and blessings.

I hope 2Anne and Margie are well and doing ok.

Wow! 6 miles!
Actually, Dawn gave me $50 to play with, so I only lost $10 of my own money.
Took Dawn to a Concert in the Park tonight. Great mix of music!

Went to a Concert in the Park last night with Dawn. The Kevin McDaniels band- some old guys in their 60's played and sang songs from artists from Tex Williams to Neil Diamond, about 2 and a half hours. Loved it! And Dawn seemed to really enjoy it too.
Today, I hope to drive out to see my Mom- how she's doing, etc.

OOOOOH I love Neil Diamond. I saw him once in concert.
Once a Tina Turner, her last tour before retiring. That woman can move!
Alice Cooper. Gladys Knight and the PIPS?

Two loads of laundry.
One of my sons and his wife brought freshly picked corn.
We husked it, cut it off the cob, froze 3 quart bags.
I missed seeing my little doggie. Sad. I hope he remembers me.

My older sister, her husband and their children lived here in Michigan until early 70s. They bought over a hundred acre farm in TN. We used to visit there. Two of my kids spent lots of time with them. Both have died and their kids just sold the farm. A part of history gone. Everything is transient.

Yes. That's sad.

Apparently so is the internet!
I just finished posting and BLOOP, lights flickered, internet gone.
I was fortunate that I already clicked Send. I detest trying to retype
messages. It's like trying to recapture a conversation/

Glad needs to check about the cost of diabetic's drugs being lowered.
Do you have any idea what Dept. she could call? I thought maybe
her insurance provider?
The President did something about lowering the cost, but I'm not sure
if it has passed the big Pharmaceutical companies.

I haven't heard of any drug prices being lowered, but if they are, any supplemental insurance policies that pay co-pays will probably not reduce their premiums.

I was woken from a frightening dream this morning, when Dawn took Chipper out at 5:00, so I'll be taking a nap shortly. I think I'll be taking Dawn to Plainwell later to see that apartment she's applying for.

LFF, I recall my mom in law speaking of Plainwell.
Or did her father in law live in Plainwell? I know it rings a memory bell
for some reason. There is only one person left of that family who might
know.
I hope you got your nap.

I did a bit of cleaning, went to Kohl''s minus a mask. Not one person
threatened to do me bodily harm.
I visited my doggie. He was overjoyed because he didn't get to see
me yesterday. I bought him a new Elk antler. He was SO delighted.

I picked enough tomatoes to share a few with a few people in our
Park. They were rather small, but people seemed glad to have them.

There probably weren't enough people at Kohl's to be less than 6 feet apart.
Took Dawn to the apartments. The office was closed. Then, we went to breakfast at Village Inn. I bought breakfast for a scruffy old guy sitting in a corner there.

Today I had appointment for diabetic shoes....then this afternoon took challenged son into town. After that picked a lot of beans and will process them tomorrow. They will be good this winter.

Good to hear, Glad.
I'm moving slowly this morning. Well, slower than normal. Will take Dawn to a meeting later. May go to Plainwell about apartment for Dawn. May take Chipper for a walk. May do a lot of things- may not. Right now, I don't feel like doing much at all.

Glad, I also picked beans, a quart bag frozen, and yes,
they will taste mighty good this winter. The beans produced
in more abundance last year, but I'm thankful for each bag
we put in the freezer.

LFF, you just can't break yourself of the habit of helping people.
Good for you. I'm sure the old man appreciated your kindness.

This morning I was feeling the effect this chaos is having on me.
I promptly went to the garden (after putting a load of laundry in the machine)
and enjoyed God's gift to us.
Later I took a small pail of tomatoes to my daughter, She needed a hug.
This afternoon I spent time with my doggie friend and will go back to him
around 8:00 P.M. (Son has gone to Monroe to visit friends and asked if I
would let Litle Chuckie out.)

Still moving slowly here, and using my cane. Took Dawn to a meeting. Set Dawn up on the computer to have a telehealth meeting with a doctor in Grand Rapids. Now, she just got back from taking Chipper for a walk.

Feeling a bitta bettah here this morning. Took Chipper out at 6 this morning. Felt nice out there.
Will be taking my Mom to the cancer center this afternoon. Have no other big plans for today.

Have back pain again this morning. Guess I need to lose weight.
Have a busy day planned, if I'm up to it. Hoping to walk Chipper, go to the bank, party store, library, post office, pick up prescriptions for Dawn, and get some groceries...

LFF, I think you look better without your mask.
Whereas, I look better with a full-face mask!

I seem to have missed a few days, again. Sorry.
Today I went to Kroger, their specials. Saw my doggie
for awhile.
Sat on the porch watching Hummingbirds at the feeder.
Fascinating little bits of feathered life.

You missed one day, Joyous. We're not counting.
Good to see you got your stuff done. I didn't make it to the bank or to the grocery store. Those can weight.

I'm up early this morning. Have to take Dawn to her Brighton appointment an hour earlier than usual. Should be a nice day.
Wishing you all a nice day!

LFF, I hope your groceries didn't "weight" too "heavy", long.

Glad, I pray you and Gr.daughter are home safe.

I scrubbed kitchen floor, peeled and cooked tomatoes for juice, picked kale and
froze two small bags, pulled out remaining kale plants, showered, had lunch. I'm
tired!
Did you listen to Joe Biden's acceptance speech last night?
I tossed a coin and the old movie won. (JOKE)

Listened to a little of Biden's speech this morning. He sounds good, but I'm afraid of the democratic party that will be calling the shots.
I take Dawn there for a treatment once a week. It's about 143 miles one way. Takes a little over 2 hours to get there. Saw 7 State Police cars on the way there- 6 of them had people pulled over.

We stop at Big Boy's in Wayland on the way home. Gave the waitress a $20 tip today. She asked "Really?"

Our bill was 25.72. I called the hostess over. Asked if I could pay her. When she said yes, I gave her $40, and told her "You keep the change." She was astonished. I said "You probably don't get tips." She told me she hasn't gotten a tip in years. She's been hostessing for 15 years.

The, after she paid the bill, she came back, said she was emotional, and asked "Did you really mean to give me $14?" Told her "Yes. I did. You deserve it."
The lady in a front apartment on our floor too her little Pomeranian outside here, and it was attacked by someone else's German Shepherd. Her little Pom had to be put down. People here at the apartments signed a card for her, I printed the story about the Rainbow Bridge and added that to the card. Dawn and I went to the store, and bought her a dozen pink roses. Dawn put them in one of her vases, and put that with the card by her door.

Mornin' all! I have no big plans for today. Dawn will be going to a meeting and lunch today, and I will be taking a shower to try and dissipate the aromatic side effect of my Dunlop Disease, which I apparently am the only one who notices.
Our neighbor, who lives down the hall took her little Pomeranian ( 14 year old, with a heart problem) outside, and it was attacked by a German Shepherd with an anti-social problem. She had to put the Pom down. We bought her roses, and left them by her door. She came over to thank us last night. She was crying, and was distraught at what to do. Vinnie was her life- took him everywhere- even to work every day. I clumsily gave her a hug, asking if I could first. Chipper is 14, and I know how hard it will be when I lose him.

First, my complaint.
It annoys me that almost every time I pop in here,
I have to log in.
OK, that's out of my system and I can smile!

LFF, will the owner of the German Shepard be in trouble?
My heart aches for the dear lady. I know so well the feeling.

All I have done today is pick a few Charity tomatoes, walk
around to a few neighbors to hand them out.
Made a Tuna/macaroni salad for lunch.
LFF, you certainly put smiles on faces with your generosity.

Next, I don't know about the owners of the German Shepherd. I don't know who owns it, if it was on a leash. Dawn told me she's seen a child taking the dog out to the 'pet walk area'. I don't know if Vinnie barked at the Shepherd, like he did at Chipper.
Next, What are 'Charity tomatoes'? Are they anything like 'Roma tomatoes'?
I'm very happy to be 'generous'. However, if Dawn moves out, my generosity will probably come to an end. I won't have the extra funds. Well, it was fund while it lasted.
I'm not doing much today. Don't feel like it.

Here we go again, with another day of the pandemic. Had to put out new finch socks. Those birds are little piglets! Will be taking Dawn to look at another apartment today. I'm not asking her to leave, but she's at a level where she thinks she's ready to get her own place.

OK LFF, it must be the cookies.

Charity tomatoes:
When we put our various gardens in I told
my mate, "I'm putting a section of tomato plants
to share with the other people in our trailer park."
And I do. We cleared the creek bank and our yard
is larger than most others here. Therefore, we're
able to grow more food. We have plenty for our
own use. The way you share with tips and meals
for less fortunate, I share lettuce and tomatoes.

This morning I went with my daughter to take their
Chihuahua to a Vet. I visited Little Chuckie.
He didn't want to stay out as long as usual. I think
the heat and humidity bothers him too.
I didn't do much else, too hot and humid.
I did stop at a neighbor to get her signature on a
petition to cancel Bill 1945, so Michigan cannot be
locked down just as she pleases.
Kinda tired.
I hope your mom is doing well.

Did you allow your browser to accept cookies? Which is your browser? Do you need instructions, Joyous?
Wonderful that you share your veggies!
Took Chipper downtown today, Dawn to consignment shop, not much else....

In this heat, you may need to take it easy a bit more, maybe?

I think it's ok. I just whine about having to log in, but it'really isn't a problem.

But you shouldn't have to log in every time, if you have the box checked to log you in automatically. Do you use FireFox?

No, Yahoo

You use a browser to access yahoo. Which browser is that- Internet Explorer, Edge, FireFox, Chrome, Opera, Pale Moon, Safari, or a different one?

Took Chipper out at 4:30 this morning. Have no other plans yet today. A nap sounds good....

August 26 today! Dawn asked me to take her to Emerald Park yesterday to check on her application status. She received approval. The move-in date to her new apartment is September 11. That means I'll have to buckle down, and start pinching my pennies.
I hope I'll get to take Chipper for a walk today. Dawn will be going out for lunch with a friend. Have nothing else planned. Have a good day all!
