Point of Sale?
Fingers crossed for you.
I’m so sorry about your tummy problems, but I agree that seeing a real doctor sounds much better than self diagnosis. I hope you learn that you need to eating something minor in your diet.
My bursitis has not self resolved in over 10 years. Tai Chi helped much more than PT.
For the most part, yes, it really does as far as the workers are concerned. They are supposed to say it is Point of Service or Point of Sale instead.
I ordered three dozen easter bags from da jungle last week and used the no hurry option. It is 2100 and a UPS guy just did a drop, ring and run. I try to get to the door in time to yell “thank you” at their back, but I missed it this time.
Like swampy, I won’t buy candy until later this month. Kids usually don’t notice if their cheap candy is stale, but I will know…
Woke up, gave Spot attention(not like I had a choice 
) I had a Vieux Carré. Cating up on F1 testing and quali.
I put the description as “Body Bags(Unused)”
“Overgoods” is anything that come out of the package and can be matched up. It get boxed up by category, and auctioned off. “Irregs” are big(over 6 feet), heavy(over 75lbs.), or awkward shaped things. Also, jugs of bull semen.

Point Of Sale in this context, I think.
Well, it’s past time; but there’s some leftover teriyaki beef.
For reference, I marinated four pieces of thin-slices sirloin in Trader Joe’s Soyaki (same thing as Soy Vay Very Very Teriyaki). I put it on a rack under the (electric) broiler on High, turned it when the top was done, brushed it wit teriyaki sauce, and finished it off. (I could have improved it by cooking it on the grill, but broiled was just fine.) I cut it into strips and served it on rice with Japanese sesame dressing on top (I had to make some more). We also had a salad made of iceberg lettuce and tomatoes. Haigūsha yunitto had thousand island dressing on hers, and I had the sesame dressing on mine.
Good Mornin’ Y’all! Up and caffeinatin’. YAWN ‘Tis 53 Amurrkin out and mostly cloudy with a predicted high of 66 and mostly N.O.S. for the day. A decidedly cooler day. The big item on today’s agenda is deheathenization wherein I have Verger duty. Look! I’m up so I’ll be there on time! Then it will be back to da cave for a leftover N.O.L., nappage, sloth, and day drinkin’. Tomorrow mornin’ I have a doc appointment at eight-thirty a.m. Yeah, I scheduled an early appointment right at the start of DST. I’m all brilliant like that.
Nellie and Sticky sorry y’all are havin’ various ailments right now. Here’s hopin’ a resolution is found soonest.
Now I need more caffeine and to feed rumbly tummy. Then purtification for deheathenization must commence.
Happy Sunday Y’all!
When I met my husband, both he and his father both carried Spydercos. It seems that his is vintage and I don’t find the exact knife, but it is quite similar to this one, even though his is more than 25 years old. When we were first dating we went to a few gun shows which also have lots and lots of knives. I have a Swiss Army knife which lives in my hiking backpack and have a flight-safe version in my purse.
Oooh. Pretty colors. Looking forward to progress pics. But no pressure. 
Georgia peaches, I hope? My likes to make fresh peach ice cream which is sublime. The peaches here just aren’t the same.
Hope today is a better day. Eating shouldn’t be painful.
Hope it’s something easy to solve.
My normal walking shoes still have a lot of tread, but the insoles were getting worn. Looked in the box of gloves, hats, etc. and found two pairs of “heat to mold” insolves and installed them in the walking shoes. We then took a short walk and I think that’s definitely a big help. Hubby’s got something going on with his left foot - the muscles on the top of his foot are sore. So we were both happy to take a shorter walk, just to keep things moving.
Today will be the last fondue of the season. It’s almost too warm for fondue, but there’s a storm coming in so the temperature will drop. Started out at 11°C/ 52°F, going up to 12°C/53.5°F, and then will drop to 8°C/46.5°F at sunset, and then continue to drop overnight. There’s a German expression that, “April will do what it wants.” Since our warming trend is about one month early, it seems that March is going to do what it wants.
It’s dry skin, exacerbated by sleeping under in electric blanket. When I lotioned after ever shower, it wasn’t an issue, but I kinda slacked off. My own fault. I’m back to lotioning.
I’m up early, tho I suppose it’s not as early as it would have been yesterday - stoopit time change… MIL must have been talking in her sleep - it woke me around 4, which was really 5 now, so I’ve been up a couple of hours. I read for a while, then got up, tended the critters, and had some eats. The rest of the household is asleep - it’s my alone time.
BIL is having a tough time with MIL leaving the apartment. I’m pretty sure he’s worried about being “alone” there, tho he’s made at least one friend and he sees his social worker regularly. He won’t come here to visit, tho - he had a fight with FCD and refuses to be around him.
MIL has been trying to give him stuff before she moves - like TP and paper towels - but he gets angry at the suggestions and she can’t stop trying to mother him. I made a suggestion, then stepped back. There’s no dealing with BIL when he digs in.
We’ll go to Lowe’s today and get some moving boxes, then to the apartment to pack out the bedroom and bathroom and maybe start in the living room. We won’t be there more than a couple of hours - MIL gets so tired rather quickly. I already told them Daughter and I will pack out the kitchen.
I contacted a women’s shelter in Leonardtown to see if they take donations of household items - I hope to hear back from them soon. If not, there’s also a shelter in Hughesville - a bit farther away, but we’d rather give the stuff to someone who will use it. Failing that, Habitat or a thrift store will get the excess. Neither Daughter nor I need 2 sets of flatware or any old cookware or dinnerware - none of that ware stuff! So I hope it will go to someone who can use it.
Rain is theoretically done till Firday, and warmth is on the way by the end of the week, but today will be in the 40s and dreary. No rakeage will occur.
Happy Sunday!
Up, caffeinated, and sheveled. I awoke before dawn, courtesy of DST. Spot is confused, courtesy of DST(I wonder if this is his first?) It is also:
Mario Day(Mar.10)
Harriet Tubman day
International Bagpipe Day
Perhaps I shall throw some pipe tunes on after I clean and rollsuck.

Afternoon, mumpers! It’s currently 8c/46f with no predicted change, and with scattered showers. Weather app says “Today is fucking moist. Yes, I just used the fucking word moist.” It’s grey and dreary out there, been raining on and off - generally not very nice, and I am glad to have no plans for being outside.
Yesterday was a busy and productive day - got my hair cut, went out for lunch, did vital errands, did a supermarket run and got my accounts up to date. So far today, I’ve done feline bums and tums, and had a bath. I’ve got some domestic drudgery for this afternoon, and it’s my turn to make dinner tonight so I’ll be doing meatballs and sketties because that’s what I decided I want.
Happy Sunday, everyone!
@Die_Capacitrix
Spyderco makes nice knives. We also have a handful of those little Swiss Army knives too. She has one in her purse and I have one in my travel kit. The TSA were confiscating those at one point. I can’t imagine a successful hijacking done with these. The sharp edge of the blade is 1 1/4 inches
It says 33 and my county is under a winter advisory, Clevelands county under a warning.
So happy to go to church.
Tomorrow I go back to training.
20F this morning, but we’re supposed to see 50 at some point. The wife is still abed, having forgotten DST has kicked in. I think the cat is also refusing to acknowledge it. I’ll get some bacon on the stove and see if that stirs things.
Morning all. Like most I got up earlier than expected, but on the bright side, I have one less hour to wait until I go to the Golden Corral. Cool outside (38F) and only getting into the 50’s today, but warming up during the week into the 70’s. Nothing much on the agenda outside of the trip to the GC, might go to the gym and might not, did some extra work yesterday so can skip one if I want. Depends on how much I overeat a couple of hours.from now.
JtC, why am I not in the least surprised that you’ve been up in a sailplane?
nellie, hope the new neighbors get along better, that your stomach issues are minor, and that Sis-in-law listens to you. Is it a scratched cornea? Not really painful but distracting as heck.
Coppertone, enjoy church and hope your weather warms up too. So you live near Cuyahoga County, huh? I was born and spent my first 27 years south of there in Summit County.
swampy, happy Vergering.
FCM, that’s a good idea, donating to a woman’s shelter; if/when I finally move elsewhere I will have to remember that.
boo fae. sometimes I read that as “burns and turns”, which makes no sense to me, then I look closer and see it “bums and tums”, which is much more practical for a feline household. Have a good drudgery day.
And must get the Sunday internetting done before dressing good and heading off to the eating house. Have a good Sunday all.
Mornin’ all. About an hour post-sunrise as I start yabbering. Been up 3+ hours caffinatin’, readin’, & Dopifyin’. A sunny day so far with some chance of thunder later. Now 76/24 on the way to 86/30.
After dinner last night I hit the storage unit for some more crap to bring home, then headed home and had a bourbon and a cigar out by the pool in the warm darkness, followed by a mostly early bedtime. Tres restful.
I solved my storage problem at home a couple days ago the easy way. I mentioned to my host that I was considering getting a cabinet for more closet space and did he mind? As expected he did not. But he pointed out an unused hall closet with full insert just outside my room. It had been his ex-wife’s overflow closet and is now empty. Well it’s mine now. About 8 feet wide of floor to ceiling shelving or double-height hanger rods. Woot! No more struggles with too much stuff in too small a space.
We have a large Renaissance Faire going on nearby. Happens every year through most of Feb & March. I was reminded of it by a mysterious traffic jam yesterday near where I had late breakfast. Given my various other planned trips, today is almost my last chance to attend. I’d have gone yesterday right after breakfast, but I did not have a sun hat with me when I left home and was loathe to return home and do the traffic a second time, or to buy yet another, nor to walk around all afternoon on a cloudless day without one given the prior days’ facial radiation doses.
I’m not a big RenFaire fan, but once every couple years they’re a fun change of pace. Besides, smoked turkey legs are food of the gods. My late wife was a musician who among other things played Celtic folk music on Celtic harp & flute. So if we did attend any particular RenFaire, the musical troupes were a big emphasis. This’ll be my first without her. Assuming my ambition and the weather hold up.
As to y’all …
Just think of it as “indirectly solar powered.” Thermals and cumulus pretty well require daytime to do much.
There are plusses and minuses to living in a 6M person metroblob versus a ~3000 person (Cordes Lakes + Mayer combined) remote town. I get very few javelina, you get very few fresh warm baklava.
TMI there floozy-Q. 
And plenty of reason to be. Sorry to hear about stomachs and SILs and DST.
Wise to get your innards inspected by a pro. At our age there are lots of ways for persistent problems to not get better on their own. Just yesterday one of my pilot pals mentioned a similar concern he’s seeing a specialist about next week. Might be nothing; might be A Big Deal®.
Here’s hoping for a long upstairs vacancy followed by a little old lady who uses a headset to hear her television rather than cranking it up to eleventy.
Also, thanks for the DST reminder; I’d wondered where that hour this morning went. I had thought I was just lost in my reading. Nope. I’d just looked at a dumb clock when I first got up and a smart clock later. Surprise!
That was painful. But it’s clear your wit is undimmed by your trials.
“Point of Sale”. As already explained. Here’s the background.
Back when non-mechanical electronic smart cash registers were new, the big selling point to the stores was that inventory on hand would be continuously updated, rather than shelves needing to be inspected for gaps needing resupply every night by staffers. Instead, now the sales data (of both inventory and revenue) was captured at the point of sale. “Point” as in both place and time. So pretty quickly, “POS” or “POS system” became the term of art for smart cash registers. Of course now they’re all smart and have been for decades.
One of my first computer programming jobs while I was still in high school was helping build a store system that talked to the new-fangled smart registers they’d bought and were still learning how to use.
I swear by these: Master Lock® Combination Padlock.
They’re seriously secure, so way overkill for a gym locker. I have some of these that are 40 years old, used outdoors most of that time, and are still going strong. One ancient one is on my storage locker right now.
You can easily set your own 4-digit combo, so no worries about forgetting either keys or combos. Mom’s birthday or whatever other memorable numbers are rattling around in your noggin. And whether you own 1 or 10, or get more later, they can all be set to that same memorable combo. Can recommend.
You say that like stale is a bad thing. For a bunch of cheap candy, stale makes it better. Or at least more familiar-tasting.
Besides, you don’t think they tool up to produce all that Easter-specific stuff in just a couple weeks of Feb do you? Some of that stuff was probably run off as soon as they stopped making Christmas candy. Which they did last August.
FCM Best of luck w apartment logistics. I’m impressed that MIL can come along to supervise at all. Here’s hoping the women’s shelter can take that stuff.
That’ll probably work.
Happy Sunday all. I’m off to shevel, feed, and do whatever.
Just glanced outside as it seemed less light than before. Some clouds have drifted over and it’s sprinkling lightly. Radar says it’s nothing. Yet. We’re definitely going to have a frontal passage later today, so tonight & the next few days will be 10F/5C colder than the last few days. Sigh.
Point of sale.
Happy Sunday!
Up, caffeinating, breakfasted and fixing to do KP / weekday meal prep.
Stay safe and healthy y’all!
I am in Lake county. And its going up to the 60s soon. Roller coaster weather.
Woke up and saw that it was a quarter 'til seven, so I got out of bed. Went to the kitchen, and the coffee wasn’t made. I knew I set it up and set the delay. I forgot about the time change.
Good morning.
It’s 48 degrees Fahrenheit, mostly cloudy and a little breezy. Rain showers will move in later this morning or early afternoon, and the high temperature will top out at around 50 degrees Fahrenheit.
sticky buns, that sounds awful. I hope they find a solution for you.
nellie, I’m sorry about your stomach problems. I’m glad you’re going to see the doctor, and I hope he/she finds a quick solution. I also hope your new neighbors will be quiet. I hope something can be done for your SiL, too.
I’m not much of a knife carrier, although I have a couple of decent knives in my backpack for hiking and mushroom hunting. Nothing overly expensive, though. They’re not used enough to warrant that.
Those are beautiful color, JtC.
nellie, I will join your grumbly club on DST. I loathe it, and I will walk around feeling ripped off for at least a couple of weeks. I wish we could leave the clocks on Standard Time. I don’t really care about an extra hour of daylight in the evening, especially as we get into summer. I would much rather it be freakin’ dark at night, thankyewverymuch.
The visit to my son’s place was very nice, although we had to leave earlier than planned because Maisie just refused to potty while on a leash. Her recall is awful, so I can’t let her off-leash to potty. I plan to take her to the backyard on a leash to potty. I read on a few sites this is a way to get pups used to pottying on the leash. When we first got the puppies, I’d take them outside on their light leash to potty in a certain spot, especially after they ate. As they grew, we stopped taking them in the backyard on a leash to potty, and now Maisie will only potty in the yard. This is a problem.
We didn’t get to hike to the beach because of the rain and hail. It would have been too muddy and slippery. Maybe next time. On one of our walks around where my son lives, a rain deluge turned into a hail storm. We took shelter under some old cedar trees, but Buster was very unhappy. That dog does not like water unless you’re trying to spray down the patio or the pavers under the bird feeding station. Then he’s all about playing the in water. 
There is nothing but laundry on the agenda for today. I also need to wash my backseat protector because I’m not sure if one of the dogs peed on it last night. On top of that, Buster puked in the Jeep…again. Of course, he couldn’t contain it in the protected area. He puked in the gap between the seat protector and the door, so it covered my seat belt, the side of the door, and the floor under the seat and in that hard-to-reach area between the door and under the seat and the base of the seat belt. I did the best I could to clean it up at my son’s place yesterday, but today, I have to really scrub at it. Damn it. They’re just going to have ride in the cargo area. I’ll have to find a kennel that fits back there and is big enough for each dog, or I will have to spend some money on a custom operation.
The thing is, I didn’t feed the dogs before we left yesterday. They had breakfast at 6:00 a.m., and we left around 11:30, which would get us to my son’s place just past lunchtime. Once we arrived we fed them lunch. However, all those hours later, Buster puked up breakfast. 
Poor pup. I hoped Buster wouldn’t get sick by holding off on feeding them.
I have to drive to the office tomorrow. It’s a Monday, and Monday is one of my in-office days. It’s annoying, but I’ll be there. I’d much rather be a full-time remote employee. Sadly, I will soon have to be in the office at least four days a pay period. I was enjoying saving the mileage and keeping fuel costs down. We haven’t heard anything official yet, but I’m sure it’s coming. Now that the mini-omnibus has passed (for my agency and a few select others), we have funding until the end of the year, so they’ll concentrate on stupid stuff like making people come to the office. Most everyone is more productive at home and in the offices that fall under my SD. I realize not everyone likes that; for some people, it’s the opposite. They all have the option of coming every day if they want. I would much rather work from home.
It could be worse; I could have to go in every day, so I don’t grumble outwardly about it.
I think the pups are just exhausted. They came home yesterday and dashed for the backyard. We let them out as much as they needed last night, and between outdoor bouts, they crashed hard. They woke up at their usual time, and I let them out and brought them back in. A couple of hours later, I fed them breakfast, let them out, brought them back in, and tossed a few baby carrots in there for them. They love baby carrots. Anyway, they’ve crashed again.
It will be 10 years since I bought that Jeep in May. When I bought it, it had about 11 miles on it, but it now has just over 70,000. Those extra office trips are going to ramp up that mileage meter.
Alrighty, this is turning into a novel. I need to eat my yogurt and start chores.
Yesterday was the annual Trivia Bee for Literacy. We are a team of 3 who see each other only at this event but pick up right where we left off. Last year we came in 4th. This year top 10. Questions were terrible. Not hard, but poorly written. But lunch at the Mexican place made up for it.
I hate time changes. It’s almost 10 am and I still haven’t washed my hair or had breakfast. I’ll be like this for a week.
