Things I (we?) should buy in the MMP

Miscellaneous and Personal Stuff I Must Share

Well, the 2-hour recall update took 5 hours, due to the shop computer and car not getting along, the dealership was very apologetic but couldn’t give me a discount since the recall cost me nothing in the first place. Wasn’t too upset, was able to read all of the Sunday NY Times, go through 3 weeks of mail (it was in my mailbox this morning, must have been dropped off late Saturday or sometime Sunday), and ate lots of popcorn. Stopped at Jersey Mikes and used a Jedi Mind Trick to get 2 sammiches for the price of one (actually used my points for one free sammich and bought the other). Have eaten one and will save the other for later tonight after I get back from an evening at the gym. So guess brain cells are beginning to function again. Almost 80F now so very nice weather and a repeat tomorrow but rain is due Wednesday.

…hopefully not on any major highways… And I zinc you are using that word like it was intended, not like it is used normally (whatever normal is…) :smiley:

Taters, you and FCM make me happy I am not a gardener of any sort…way to much work.

red, on-line they do give you the option to get it delivered to your home now. Like I noted before, it was there when I checked this morning post-posting.

BBBoo, should have thought of Amazon, but needed it for my vacation and the Wal of Mart was only 3 miles away. Worked fine for the trip, we’ll see how long it goes.

Mollie, Shoe, I am going to have to shop more at Aldi, it sounds like fun.

FCM, I’m probably going to need a landscaper for my yard before I move on in a couple of years…doubt it will be cheap…

Nut, glad Dad is home.

Mollie, hope the epidural went fine (and I see that it did hurt some, take care of yourself).

JtC, hope hubs can stick to the new diet (but no beer for an ex-biker?!?!).

red, that’s why I avoid Dollar Stores (It’s Dollar General and Dollar Tree around here), hard to get out with just what you went in for.

lucky, may the ENT appointment do you well.

And all caught up and sammich in the digestive track, so will watch a little TV and then go to the gym for a couple hours, sweat some weight off and then come back to my second Jersey MIke’s sammich and put it back on. And just got a call from the handyman, they will be here early on Wednesday to fix up the house stuff that got worked over by the plumbing work. So a fairly busy week in store, it appears.

I am very sensitive to novocaine, it takes a while to take affect, but the it lasts a long time. My left leg is still numb, except where it hurts. But, since it was quite painful that means he got the right spot, so tomorrow everything should be fine.

FCD shared this with me - cracked me right up!!!

Howdy Y’all! The day turned out to be quite nice so we had some quality cee-mint pond time this afternoon. I got on my float for a few minutes, but had to give up as the water is still really cool. Nappage, day drinkin’ and sup were also accomplished.

Yanker first, welcome back! Second hooray for your son the pilot! :airplane:

Lucky hope the ear thing gets figured out soonest.

Cookie glad the gout has abated. We have those motion sensor night lights in both bathrooms. I guess that counts as high techy tech.

Taters hope you had a good time at lunch with former co-irkers.

shoe happy name day!

nuts huzzah for dad gettin’ sprung from the horsepistol!

Mollie sorry you’re ouchie but glad the epidural is doin’ its thang.

MetalMouse never had to wait that long for a recall thing before. Guess it’s good to know whatever needed it got fixed.

MOOOOOOM the Savannah Bananas are insane!

I look at them as the 5¢ and dime of the 21rst century.

On our afternoon TCB walk, Nelson got to meet a new neighbor puppy. She’s all of 8 weeks old and her mama is a GSD / corgi mix (dad’s a travlin’ dog). Her name is Rhea and she’s adorbs, what with her soft puppy fur and all. She and Nelson got along well. She’s about half Nelson’s size (for now) but I figure if her father wasn’t a giant, she’ll be a mid-sized dog.

Just to reinforce that this is something you should not pass up (money back!), you might take a look at “Tax credit for people on social security” on line.

47

Up from naptime, having an Old Fashioned and watching hockey. dinner tonight is bacon cheeseburger, fries, and corn on the cob(with Old Bay n’ butter).

Tie one to Otis. :wink:

Nut, yay for Dad getting sprung!

{{{{Mollie}}}}

:rofl:

Oh yeah, that sort of thing isn’t new, but its only been in the last couple of years that the machines were affordable for hobbyists. When I first became aware of the machines 4-5 years ago, they were just under 3 grand. Now they are half that.

If we ever get those fabled DOGE/tariff checks, invest in a litter robot. I know they are breathtakingly expensive, but they are so worth it and even save money on litter. (Not nearly enough to pay for a new machine, but you know…)

Dang about the neighbor’s chickens, FCM. That’s not a nice way to meet anyone.

I’m quite sure it was on their list.

I hope he is feeling much better!

I also keep buying seeds despite not knowing if I can actually grow them here. I keep telling myself I have to stop, but they don’t cost much and don’t take up much room in my cheese cave so the acquiring continues.

I’m so happy you were able to get in so soon, do keep us posted. and keep ME posted on your dahlia, I’m only now learning about them.

He has been happier in his life, but the gout pain put the fear of gawd into him.

And he’s not an ex-biker, he’s got a Harley in the carport. You can’t call him an ex-Marine either, because once a Marine, always a Marine even though its been forty years past.

He’s planning on heading out for a ride tomorrow, so I’m thinking I’ll go to the Nitro nursery again. I want another fushia and I want to talk to the owner about bushes and shrubs. Now that I know that Harry has a post-hole shovel and a grandkid willing to put holes in our yard for twenty each, I’m making plans for the front fence line.

Other than that, not a lot has happened. Hubs thinks Jolene is enjoying the feeder in the back yard enough that he is talking about a permanent pole for one. That’s a surprise, he’s always complained about the mess in the past.

He’s changed so much since moving here. I don’t think he even knows, but I’ve been happily surprised at the changes. He’s just so much more relaxed and I don’t think he even knows how stressed we both used to be in AZ.

So that’s about it for, I think I should kill a few monsters before bed, Hubs is wanting to run pits with me and I need more levels before I won’t die just by logging into his world. (its a game thing, difficulty depends on the party leader and if the leader is level 100 and you are level 3…well you will die.)

And now my leg is back. My calf is still a bit sore along the nerve.

This is doctor week. Tomorrow is the dermatologist for my annual mole count. I need to have the doctor take a look at the top of my head. I had a scab there last month, but I don’t remember getting any abrasions, and anything that creates a scab on the head would have lead to A LOT of blood, so I should think I’d remember.

It’s doctor week here too. Tomorrow is the podiatrist and Thursday is the dermatologist for a couple of mole biopsies. I’m beginning to think a good share of my contact list is medical types.

Mollie, red, thanks for the reminder, I need to schedule my annual checkup soon, last one was 9 May 25 so sometime after that, as medicare gets cranky if you try to do it before a full year has passed. And have to fill out the 20+ page information packet they want the Doctors to have when you come in…oh joy.

FCM, ah, the Savannah Bananas…hope they show up around here, I find the usual minor-league baseball here a bit boring, but those characters are never boring…

Swampy, the way they described it is the download from their system to my car wasn’t taking, my car sent me a ‘panic alert’ like it was being molested or something (cars is weird these days…). Guess they finally figured it out, I can’t tell if there is any difference or not.

Just thinking about the mechanics of that mating… :exploding_head:

JtC, glad to hear that Hubs (and you too) are happy in West Virginny. Happy Monster-Slaying!

As for me, did make it to the gym and stayed until nearly 8:30pm, then came home and had the second Jersey Mike’s sammich for dinner. Trying to watch my fluid intake, been urinating a lot the last couple of days, it’s slowed down some today but don’t want to encourage my kidneys any more than necessary. Will be off to be shortly and we’ll see how far I can get before the Bladder Alert goes off in my head. Catch y’all on 2sDay.

We can hope Grandma Dog was the GSD.
