Oldiesmann: Finally got the AmazonBot situation under control. I basically changed some server settings to tell AmazonBot that it's not allowed to access anything on the site. That should fix the speed issues we've been experiencing lately

Jane S WISHING YOU A VERY ENJOYABLE BIRTHDAY today..

Denver

Hope EVERYFRIEND  enjoyed their Sunday.  We sure did.  We finished up a jigsaw puzzle we finally got back to yesterday after finishing up the pictures I worked on all week.  We decided we would go pick up a pizza and drive to a spot and watch planes coming and going at one of the smaller airports near us.  That pizza tasted SO good to me.  It felt so good to be out of the house. 

I have not been in a store for 44 days today.....UGH!  We are going to start having some businesses open tomorrow here in our county......it is a scary thought....and I sure hope we are not pushing it too soon.  Other counties around us are not opening anything for another two weeks. 

I wish you all a good night of rest.

good Morning everyone. Denver are you up early or late, 12:11:54 am it says ?
Nancy and I also do jigsaw puzzle. but have not in awhile, we have to take the crocheted table cloth off the master dining room table to do a puzzle. my mother made the table cloth for us, It is little fine thread, it is a pineapple dezine, it starts in the center with a circle about 12" in diameter then some stripes that widen out about 18" long with a arrow head on them then the pineapple's. the table is 6 foot long with 6 chairs around it. the table cloth hangs almost to the flower all around. when we have family get to gathers can seat 12 people up stairs  six down stair's at that table and about 10 along the Bar down there. not a drinking bar. just for eating and soft drinks, water and  or coffee and tea. we are tea totters. we have had 50 people here all at same time and not too crowed. the family room down there has a full kitchen in one end and is 30 foot wide and 50 foot long, two bed rooms a laundry and furnace room and a bath room down there. Have a great day.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JANE. 
:hb2: :hb2 :hb3:  

Good morning everyone. Still raining and just checked the weather on the computer and it will be turning to snow this afternoon and then a mix till it ends early tomorrow morning. Of course we know better than to believe forecasts. Just heard that star ting today health  care workers starting today will get hazard pay of $ 20.-an hour. That means CNA's will get what they deserve for now.

PHYLLIS  ever go to a big mall and smell the aroma of the cinnamon buns baking? I have been to a mall here over the border in Mass. and when you get to the area where they have them just have to have coffee and my DIL and I would split one. Too big for either of us to eat. My other DIL was on a spree of baking and made them and would give me one and it was yummy.

CALLIE  best meatloaf  I ever had was one a brother made. I don't know what seasoning he put in it but was so tasty.

JANE  I did ave a good sleep last night. Hope I have no more of the sleepless ones. 

LLOYD  yesterday on the GRIT channel I watched 3 old John Wayne movies. Some colorized and others black/white.  They have been on most every Sunday. He sure was young in them.

JENNY  I have not been out aywhere since New Years day when I went to # 1 son's home for dinner. When this mess started I cancelled all my appointments. Even the town car I use to get to doctor's cancelled all rides.

HAVE A GOOD DAY AND SAY SAFE.

Good Morning Everyriend!  We're up and attem and also facing another rainy day.  It's not only dreary, it's chilling, too.  I guess this is a good one not to have to go anywhere.  Or is it not to be ABLE to go anywhere?

Thank you all for the good wishes...Jackie/Vanilla, Bubble, Jenny, Gloria...   And I got an ecard from Cathy first thing this morning and a face time call from Cindy in Texas last night.  We talked for almost an hour.  And Cathy gave me almost a week to decide where I wanted to "go" for dinner on my birthday.  I chose Kentucky Fried Chicken and she's bringing me that for my dinner today.

Mickie and I have a few minutes to wait for the boinger for breakfast an then I'll have to get dressed and take her for a walk!  She's learned to expect her walks and I kind of enjoy them too...if it isn't raining!

I wish you all a lovely day!
Make it your own in every way!

And be sure to share it with you nosyinterested friends!

Good morning everyone..

Last nights sun set was a photographer's dream. The colours were beautiful.

Today is take Kyle to the lumber mill to pick up some wood, shop for my friend then home again to work .

Phyllis, they are just about the same only one is stickier/gooier than the other. Both really good hot from the oven though :) I use 4 tsp of instant yeast and end up with 3  one pound loaves. No need to proof the yeast ,just mix in with the flour.

Gloria, I think we are in for rain here....then it is to be a nice day on Tue. Most of the snow has gone, just a wee bit in the bush still. Swallows are checking out the  bird houses and soon will be laying eggs. Skunks are out :)

Jane, hope your day is a day to remember for you. I know this darn Covid 19 has caused a lot of problems with people getting together but knowing your family they will have  special day for you.

Lloyd, that is a keepsake for sure not many crochet let alone do the pineapple pattern.

Shirley, how is your day going.?

Better get a move on.

Take care and stay safe..

Jane, Wishing you a happy birthday from a social distance!

Good morning, All.  Sunny and breezy here.  Thunder, rain, and wind just north of us last night but nothing here so all is well.

Gosh, Amy, I haven't had Date Nut Bread in years.  When I used to belong to this and that organization and each would have their Christmas get-together someone would always bring a Date Nut Loaf of bread.   I loved them.

Gloria, Tom and I would share a Cinnabon, too, because they were so big.  Delicious.  We don't have one here now.  Our near-by mall is nearly empty and is supposed to be torn down and replaced with apartment bldgs., hotels, and retail of all kinds in the coming years.

Make it a good day, Everyone.

Thank you AMY, SHIRLEY and PHYLLIS.  My Texans and Oklahomans were supposed to be visiting this past weekend but like everyone else, they had to stay home.  I would have had some hugs from Emma (my great-granddaughter) and I'm missing all of them!  They have rescheduled for late August and I hope that works.  That's the last that ALLISON will be able to travel before my new Great Grandson is born in October. 

I've decided to goof off today.  Besides running the dishwasher and putting away the dishes, my plan is to do whatever suits my fancy.  It's my day and if I can't have my family around I'm going to sulk a little and then do puzzles and games and watch TV until Cathy gets here later. 

I hope you are all having a pleasant day!

:hb2: Happy Birthday, dear Jane  :cake:
 :hugs:

Paraphrasing hit song by Leslie Gore: "It's my party.  I'll (sulk) if I want to"...."You would, too, if (pandemic) happened to you".

Enjoy that KFC!!!  :smitten:
 

Tomereader1

Yes, Happy Birthday Jane.  Enjoy it the best you can in our "unable to have family nearby" situation!  I have been wanting KFC for days.  You just solved it for me. I am going to the drive-thru bank in a bit, and KFC is right there, so I give up; I will get me some finger-lickin' good Col. Sanders chicken! :)

JaneS

Thanks for the good wishes CALLIE and TOMEREADER!  I'm not really sulking...just regretting the fact that the faraway part of my family couldn't make the trip.  Fact is, I haven't had time to sulk.  I've had grandkids and niece and nephew on my phone wishing me happy birthday a lot of the time.  I only have one niece nd I refer to her as MFN (my favorite niece)and she calls me MFAJ (My Favorite Aunt Janie).  She has numerous aunts on her father's side but we've always been close.  And now Mickie wants a walk and I think I'd like that, too.

Bye for now!

Jane,  I was here earlier to wish you a Happy Birthday, but couldn't get to this page.  So, I am trying again.

Wishing you a very Happy Birthday and hope you are enjoying your special day.  Nice that you have heard from a lot of your "Favorites".

Oh, Janie, you are the last person I would expect to sulk, complain or whine about anything - at least in public. 
That song popped into my head when I read your post and I just couldn't resist a bit of loving teasing.  :smitten:

This has turned out to be a Productive Day for me.

I think I've mentioned the half gallon of Listerine due to my son's interpretation of my request for a "large" bottle.
This morning, I managed to open an almost 2 pound jar of peanut butter (same situation) that wouldn't fit in my jar opener. (Whacking edge on sink and muttering in a threatening tone works wonders.  :knuppel2:;D

Then I found the can of WD-40 I had carefully put where I could reach it more easily - and then promptly forgot where that was.  :uglystupid2:

Now I'm off to see if I can get some windows to open more easily when I want to air things out.  Can't do that today because the wind is strong and the pollen count is high  :tissue:

JaneS i hope better late than never is alright with you, i know they tell me the way to_ _ _ _ is paved with good intention's.but you know I love you friend but my short memory lets me down. we went to sams club today and stocked up on food. wasn't herd but we spent $150.00 odd $$.+ some.
we picked up some things for Daughter, had a hard time getting her to just take them. but when we need a hand she is right johnny on the spot to help. but we won out. no matter good kin or friend's cant be beat. the sun made it out but they say we are in for more rain. Have a great rest of the day. will promass to come back in the morning.

Amy

Good morning everyone..

We are off to the city this morning, we have a number of things to do. Not sure how this will all work out due to the virus but we will do what we can.

Jane, no matter how far away your family is they are always close in your heart.

I had better skedaddle ..

Enjoy your day and stay safe everyone.

Good morning everyone, rain finally stopped for now. Glad my CNA goes to the market today for me so for a change she will not get rained on. Yesterday the first thing Yvette did was give me a good back massage with the Hempvana and it sure helped my back. Son 2 told me last night tha t he will need a new jar of it becaus the one I gave him is getting low. Good thing I just ordered 2 more jars of it. Of all the different things I triep it wor ks better than any of the others I tried.

LLOYD  would be great if we couold all get together and finally meet in person. I can dream of it but  I no longer can travel. Just the few minutes it takes to go anywhere I need  to wears me out. All doctors I go  to are pretty close to where I live.  Then takes a couple of days to rest up from it. Wish I could travel.

JANE  we broke a record yesterday that was set at  44  in 1917 and it was  43 yesterday. Not a record to jump  for joy breaking. I have not had KFC for a long time.

AMY  you are a good friend with all you do for friends. I know haw hard it is to go shopping these days and I sure appreciate Yvette will shop for me. That date nut loaf sounds so yummy. I cheat and use the package of date bread and add more dates and some nuts. Not as good as made from scratch but good for lazy people like I am now. I like the aroma and taste of nutmeg, too. I have sof the whole nuts and grate some of the nut into different thing I have made. Much bet ter taste ground fresh than the grated one in the jars.

PHYLLIS  there is only one mall near us but I have only been there twice with my DIL and we shared a cinnabon both times.

Have a good day and stay safe.

Good Morning to all my dear friends!  You are the best!   JOY and LLOYD I thank you for your wishes.  My day was one of the best I've ever had!

Cathy and Cindy worked together to plan a group phone call that was shown on my iPad.  Every one of my kids, their spouses and my grandkids and even Emma my Ggranddaughter participated.  I had the Texans, the Okies, the Marylanders, the locals and even my grandson and his special and her son from Mexico.  We had about an hour when everyone could be seen and everyone talked.  I was overwhelmed!  I kept telling them that the only thing that could have been better was if they had all been in my living room in person.  I'm still in a state of shock!!  And I keep seeing and hearing them talk!  It was the best thing they could have given me for my birthday. 

The KFC was good too but it was eclipsed by the sight of all the family!
And today the sun is peeking through and it's supposed to get into the low 60s by mid afternoon!  A typical Spring day! 

Today, Mickie is 13!

I hope you all have a lovely day!
Make it your own in every way!

And don't forget to share it with all of us!

Good Morning,

Oh, Janie, what a lovely birthday visit with all of your family.  Ain't technology great?  :thumbup:  :smitten:  ;D

I thought I would be able to get a hair cut today but the local City Council decided not to honor the governor's opening hair salons last Friday and decreed that ours cannot open until this weekend.
Guess another week of looking like a shaggy bear (and feeling a bit like one, too "Grrrrr") - - -  well, I can't think of anything nice to say about it so will  :-X .

Wishing Everyfriend Everywhere an Enjoyable Day.

JaneS

Hello Everyfriend!  You must have all been having a special day of some kind because no one has been in here since around 11 this morning.  I sure hope you all had a great day.

I made some soup today with the leftover KFC and the broth from cooking the chicken for dog food over the weekend.  I added some veggies and some spices and an envelope of onion soup mix and some pasta shells and it was delicious!  I have enough for 2 more big bowls.

Now I'm heading for Dreamland!  Mickie's had her last outie.  I reported out to Cathy and I'm off to get myself ready to sleep.

I wish you all a peaceful night's sleep and a happy, healthy tomorrow.  And may God bless us, every one!

We had a beautiful day here in the Mile High City.  Bob worked in the small patch of grass by our back deck de thatching the grass.  Our grass is taken care of by the HOA, but we like to give ours here by our deck some extra attention😘 We are going to plant some seeds after the lawn service mows tomorrow. 

JANE, your Birthday sounded very special for you.  Best wishes form many more healthy and happy years.

AMY, I read that Kyle bought more lumber......is he going to build you more planters? I can remember what you called them😘 I know you were going to the. He ese factory not too long ago.....more cheese curds to enjoy, I hope?

GLORIA, sure glad that Yvette takes such good care of you.....those back rubs sound so nice. 

LLOYD, you asked if I was posting late or early.....it was DEFINITELY late.....ever since this lockdown we have been staying up later and later and sleeping in later in the morning.  Ido not really care for this schedule but it seems to be the norm these days.  That dining table of yours sounds really nice.....you and Nancy could have three or four jigsaw puzzles going at the same time!

Our California Family planned to start their drive towards Colorado tomorrow, but they are not quite done packing everything up, so now they will leave on Thursday.  It will be three full days of driving and it is going to be tough with our 16 month old grandson.  He does not like to be contained at this point in his mobile life.....so I hope and pray he will settle in and do quite a bit of sleeping 🙏

Tomorrow Michele has another round of chemo.  She is still waiting for the OK from the insurance company for the MRI.  😩🙏🙏

Pleasant dreams to EVERYFRIEND.
