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

Good morning, minus 16 presently, I'm glad I ended up going to the store yesterday, when it was in the 20s. Even though it was painful as there was a long time to connect to the cab company each way and then an hour per wait as they were dealing with seven inches of snow and counting. I wouldn't want to do that with temperatures deep in the minuses.

Plus, yesterday was payday for all the alphabet agencies, and the military. I should have gone on the second, when seniors get 20% off on the first Tuesday of the month. I've definitely decided to go with grocery home delivery, as I was slipping and sliding in yesterday's snow and the long taxi waits made my decision for me. Thank you all for your advice and a number of folks in the building, also helped me decide which store.

Morning routines, meet and greets, and coffee ready, so here I am. Today I need to cook the turkey I got for Thanksgiving, and get back into my PSP lessons so I can join Bubble posting in the card shop. My knee is much better, other than some morning stiffness.

Amy, pork chops sound good to me as well, and I found some nice mushrooms in the fruits and vegetable area, so perhaps tomorrow after I get the turkey cooked and portioned. They had the snow trucks going about most of the night, so hopefully it's better out there with minus 30 coming up on the 10th.

OLM, I'm so sorry and will keep your son in my thoughts.

Thank you Rick and Phyllis, and anyone else whose praying!

Prayers are already helping! I received info that he has improved a bit. He can't talk much because his throat is stripped raw from the violent, prolonged vomiting, but he did get in a little food this morning, and a short shower. Please keep praying. I'd spoken to him a couple of hours before it all went crazy 2 days ago and he'd been feeling really good. The bouts are sudden and dramatic. I'm relieved he's currently improved. We won't know if he's out of the woods until Ron gets down there and gets detais. Thank you so much for your prayers!

OLM, glad your son is improving. Safe travels for Ron.

Patricia, glad you've decided to order groceries delivered and neighbors helped you decide on the store.  I think you'll like it! 

My son, father to my three Grands and "PopPop" to my great grandson, had surgery this morning to repair a torn Achilles tendon. It went well and he's home getting as comfortable as he can.  He hopes to be in a boot by Christmas.

Our weather has bounced back and forth between Above Average and Way Below Average.  It's hard on my "squeaks and creaks"  :P

My washer is yoo-hooing at me.

Good morning

Tad chilly out there this morning temp is -16°...not weather for wearing shorts! :2funny:

Work around home and may get some sewing in. No dancing with snow until Sat or Sun.

Phyllis and MG, porkchops were tasty along with the chicken rice soup we had for lunch.  I am going to try and half the soup recipe next time as it makes so much Thankfully a friend dropped by and I sent him home with some for a couple of days..

OLM, good to hear your son is improving, now to keep going in that direction. We worry about our children no matter what age they may be.

Callie, don't you wish the washer/ dryer would you-who to the neighbour or someone else. They always seem to know we will answer their you-who!

Better go see if my get up is up and get a move on.

Enjoy your day and stay safe.

Good morning everyone,
I'm pleased to report that my son had a good day yesterday! He was able to rest with no more episodes or trips to the ER. He was able to eat a little twice and "get up" a bit. Ron flies down today. I'm so relieved that he hasn't had anymore episodes!

You're right Amy, they are still our children no matter how old they are!

Callie, I pray your son's tendon heal successfully!

Patricia, yikes, that's cold!!! Amy, a sewing day sounds perfect for -16°F. Stay warm and safe both of you!

Its raining lightly and 41°F here currently. I have a video call planned for later. I did order that Christmas light projector. It will be here next week.🙂 🎄

Good news, OLM.  Hope he continues to improve.
 
Cold, icy and down right unpleasnt day.  Soup tonight with some hot chocolate or perhaps some mulled cider and maybe a fruit galette for dessert.  The oven will keep the kitchen warm and the galette and cider will warm our tummies.  Might  ask  David  to light the fireplace logs.

Take care, All.  I am not going anywhere!!!
