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

Jeanne Lee you never had a new bottle, you ran out, thought you replaced it and however did not.

Whew that's settled :)

Several weeks ago,  I think it had been discussed in here, about the HBO show with Anderson Cooper and his mother, Gloria Vanderbilt..........   It will be shown on CNN on Friday night from 9 p.m. till 11:15 p.m.

So, any of you that wanted to see it but didn't get HBO, hopefully, you can get CNN and will get to see.

It is called  "Nothing Left Unsaid".   They have been advertising it.  I had to write myself a note to remind me.

I am anxious to see it.

Jeanne Lee, You were truly lucky with the bread machine, almost unbelievable it would continue baking the bread. Did you check the trash barrel for the veg. oil ? you may have used it all up last time and tossed the bottle. They say three times your out..so maybe your luck will turn to the good now.

Bis, we are thinking the same direction for that missing Veg. oil.

Jeanne lee, You are a good detective ..you DID check the trash.

Mycheal, excellent detective work..I think I could have been guilty of that in my own little kitchenette.

I must go fix some kind of soft supper and then to an early bed. I am pooped. Just got back from the Dentist, about 4+ hours in the chair. I now have a nice front tooth replaced from one that fell apart, an incisor that slowly deteriorated after 91 years of use Gary took me over to the dentist in Fullerton where he and Dori go . This is my third visit to them and I am delighted.
As long as we are here, let's dance.

Jeanne, I went and looked in my cupboard and I have 2 part bottles of Crisco Oil.  I never open the second one while there is still some in the first one.  Was it Crisco Oil you lost?  Maybe I stole it!

Good Night Everyfriend!  I'm off to Dreamland after a good hour and a half sleeping in the recliner.  I hope I can sleep in bed.  I wish you all a peaceful rest and that you wake cheerful tomorrow.

Well everyone knows vegetable oil is slippery, my guess, it just "slipped away".  Or Janie stole it.... ;)

Early morning in the morning.  Bone Scan with radiation.  I hope I don't glow in the dark.

Nite, nite God Bless and Sweetdreams.

I can tell you how to fiend it. go buy a new bottle and when you get home looking for something else it will show up.the other day I was doing some new electrical in the shop,needed a couple of switches and knew i had some but not finding them went to town and bought 2 new ones and was looking for something else and found a dozen good used from salvage and some new ones.

Larry thanks for the tip on spell ck. better than nothing but its brain is not much better than mine. It comes up with words that do not evening start with the same letter or even close to what i am saying.
but some times dose good more often. good Night and sweet dreams

Hal â€" Yep, Rangers got swept that series, then won a 10 to 1 game.  Last night they won a reasonable 3 to 1 , or something like that. Off tonight.

June â€" No one, not even Kelly has mentioned Voice to me again….unless its in today’s postings. We’ll see.

We had a lovely day today……very nice.  But looking for storms tonight, tomorrow and Sunday…well see…..

Happy Birthday, Jane..!!  And Many more.

So much too talk about, but gotta' stop…hand  hurting tonight.

CHUCKLES

Weight For Help

Somewhat skeptical of his son's newfound determination to become Charles Atlas, the father nevertheless followed the teenager over to the weight-lifting department, admiring a set of weights.

"Please, Dad," pleaded the boy, "I promise I'll use 'em every day."

"I don't know, Michael. It's really a commitment on your part," the father pointed out.

"Please, Dad?" the boy continued.

"They're not cheap either," the father came back.

"I'll use 'em Dad, I promise. You'll see."

Finally won over, the father paid for the equipment and headed for the door.

From the corner of the store he heard his son yelp, "What! You mean I have to carry them to the car?"

Food For Thought

The Value of a Friend
Author Unknown


Mark was walking home from school one day when he noticed the boy ahead of him had tripped and dropped all of the books he was carrying, along with two sweaters, a baseball bat, a glove and a small tape recorder.

Mark knelt down and helped the boy pick up the scattered articles. Since they were going the same way, he helped to carry part of the burden. As they walked Mark discovered the boy's name was Bill, that he loved video games, baseball and history, and that he was having lots of trouble with his other subjects and that he had just broken up with his girlfriend.

They arrived at Bill's home first and Mark was invited in for a Coke and to watch some television. The afternoon passed pleasantly with a few laughs and some shared small talk, then Mark went home. They continued to see each other around school, had lunch together once or twice, then both graduated from junior high school. They ended up in the same high school where they had brief contacts over the years.

Finally the long-awaited senior year came and three weeks before graduation, Bill asked Mark if they could talk. Bill reminded him of the day years ago when they had first met. "Did you ever wonder why I was carrying so many things home that day?" asked Bill. "You see, I cleaned out my locker because I didn't want to leave a mess for anyone else. I had stored away some of my mother's sleeping pills and I was going home to commit suicide. But after we spent some time together talking and laughing, I realized that if I had killed myself, I would have missed that time and so many others that might follow. So you see, Mark, when you picked up those books that day, you did a lot more, you saved my life."

Every little hello, every little smile, every helping hand, can save a hurting heart.

Cool here but I hope the sun will fix that. Yesterday did not turn out as planned ,but that is ok. Today I may get the things done that didn't get done yesterday. I did a wash last night and will hang it out in a bit.

I checked and no spare bottle of oil here..but I will share  mine with you Jeanne Lee.

Gloria, hope you get your computer back soon!! We miss you.

Joan, thank you for breakfast..

Enjoy your day everyone.

Good Morning Everyfriend!  We had more rain overnight with more expected beginning around noon today.  The temp is 43 right now and "The Mysterious They" are only predicting the mid 50s today.  Not going to be a very nice day so I guess I'll have to make my own "nice" today.

I hope you all have whatever your heart desires today!  Make it a good day!

Good Morning Everyone!

Well as usual when I have to be up early, I am up early, my internal clock just wont let me sleep. 

Anyhow, hope everyone has a good day.  The weather here is like it is set on "go" and just needs someone to pull the trigger.  It is so humid you can cut it with a knife.  They say storms today, tonight.

Talk to you later, got to get cleaned up.


JoanFL

Good morning, Amy.  Hope you get your w--- done today, so you can rest this weekend.

Janie--Good morning.  Sure wish you could send some of that rain my rain.  They keep saying we'll get some, but nary a drop in my neck of the woods.

Good morning, halkel.  Like you--no rain here.  It's just H & H (hot and humid).  I hope your test goes well.

I hoped it would show up after a night's sleep, but no luck.  I did discover one thing, though.  We seniors sure have a great sense of humor.  You've all been keeping me laughing.   :2funny:

Good morning, Jeanne Lee.  I thought maybe in your dreams you'd have a "divine revelation" and when you arose you'd know exactly where that oil was.:)

JaneS

I bet she just used it up and her "sometimers" won't let her remember it.  If you really need it now, feel free to use my extra bottle.  It'll be a while before I miss it and then we can go through all this again.

I would like to send you some of our rain, Joan, if only I knew how to do that.  We had some strong storms last night but no damage here and the power stayed on.  Other parts of the area weren't so lucky.

Staying close to home today....I have to cook.  But, I am using my own oil!  I promise I didn't take yours, Jeanne Lee.

Hi everyone.  It is going to be another nice day.  We had no rain yesterday so glad I watered the yard.  In a little while we will leave so Pat can get to a 9:45 doctor's appointment.  It is a followup related to some blood tests ordered at her last visit.  After that the schedule is clear for today.

Hal, thanks for suggesting Harbor Freight as I would never have thought of them for the wheeled platform for the planters.  I was going to see what I could find on Amazon or eBay. 

Jeanne,  I often look for things in the refrigerator and just overlook them as they are there.  Pat couldn't find her rings for about a week and then one day reached into the pocket of a robe she doesn't wear often and there they were.  We knew they had to be in the house somewhere but thought we had checked everywhere.  I liked Hal's idea that your oil just slipped away. 


Lloyd Hammond

Good morning everyone. I see Sun was here very early so she must be doing some better' Hal comes post and takes a nap don't answer his line just like I do sometimes. sun came up and now is hiding it's face,calling for more rain. have a great day everyone.

Jeanne Lee looks like you will have to go buy another bottle of oil Hope you do not have the rest of the ingredient wasting.Have a great day.

Lloyd

JoanFL

Janie--I don't have any plain cooking oil, but there 3 bottles of extra virgin olive oil in the pantry, and I'd be happy to share.

Good morning, Phyllis.  Please do figure out a way to send rain this way.  What are you cooking today?

Larry--Good morning.  I hope Pat gets a good report from her labs.

Good morning, Lloyd.  The sun is brightly shining here, but no sign of rain.

Congratulations Sandy.... you must be feeling so delighted, so proud, and so you should...

I too am a great grandmother ( last November ) but they wont bother to tell me, both daughter and grandson are estranged from me, due to my " selfishness " in passing on my MS.....

Oh I see, you have become a great, great grandmother, one above me..... ;)

June Drabek

Jeanne  Lee, Maybe that bottle of oil was put into the refrigerator instead of the cupboard. Sounds like something I would do.

Had a  good nights sleep,house keeper arrived to change my bed while I was still in it. Guess I will have to wake earlier than my usual 6 a.m. It didn't seem to bother her...she just sat down beside me on the bed and gave me a hug, then I explained how I do my prayers and leg therapy before I start my day, and then she got to work..fresh bed linens, fresh towels and she was gone for the day. Every other week is deep cleaning, and that comes later in the day, so I just disappear at that time.

Hal, I am saying a prayer that your tests today go well, and God will heal whatever the problem may be. And we don't want any members that walk around with a chemical radiance...we prefer the real thing...a human glow.

Sandy. Congratulations Ge Ge !! Hope you get to cuddle her soon. I am a G.G. times six......I love it ! We have a long way to go to catch up with our MaryPage.

My mouth is reminding me that I have a new tooth in there. All those injections that numb still leave some swelling and numbness behind. But I am thankful to have had it done. Have to find something soft to eat for breakfast.
As long as we are here, let's dance.

Good Morning,

Congratulations, Sandy.   

Jeanne,  I wondered if the missing oil could be found in the bathroom because you had decided to take a soothing bath and put the wrong kind of oil in the water.    :D

June,  I know you will adjust - because that's the kind of sweet accommodating person you are - but I would be very annoyed if someone came in that early in the morning, no matter how nice the worker is.
A friend who needed more help than you do was awakened every morning at 5:30 to be dressed - because the helper had to finish her list of people before her shift ended at 7:00 a.m.  She was not a happy camper having to sit in her chair until time to go to breakfast at 7:30.

We had a two day break from the gloomy, possibly stormy weather but will need to watch the skies and check the radar today.
However, my new flowers have really responded to the rain and sun.   :thumbup:

I've always done some sort of written/picture memento when family members have Special Days.  So, the Project du Jour is to get started on something for grandson's h.s. graduation and #2 son's 50th birthday. 
I am NOT ready for it to be May!!!!!!!

Wishing Everyfriend Everywhere a lovely day.   






Kelly

Hi Sandy or should it be Ge Ge

Congratulations to you your Grand Daughter and all the family.

Thank you for sharing the picture of baby Fe Fe
