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 AMY and anyone else who shows up this morning!  I'm ready for the cleaning lady!  I have my outside sitter ready and the newspaper to take out with me.  We shall see how Cooper behaves when the Cleaning ladies are all over the inside of the house.  It will be DOUBLE clean after they leave because Christy did a lot of cleaning when she was here!  I might have to go out and find a dirty house to move into for a while!

I started packing for my trip to Oklahoma but so far all I'll be able to do is sleep there.  I have pajamas packed and a bathrobe.  I guess I can get up and walk around a bit where people can't see me in a bathrobe at 2:30 in the afternoon!

Have a great day!  Make it your own in every way!  And tell us how you did that! We're very interested (nosy)!

Sorta overcast - maybe rain - we shall see...

This heavy humid air we've had this Spring is sneaking into the tubes that bring the cold air to the registers - No way can you have an attic vent to the outdoors - the extra bit of height is all the wind needs to take far more than the vent off the roof and so I got a bright idea and have ordered a small fan with a light that can be turned on when needed that, would you believe, screws into a light fixture - I'm going to try the one and see if it helps and if I notice any difference then I will get a second one for the light fixture at the other end of the attic... The attic is super insulated but the stale warm air is getting into the vents when the AC is off all night - Come summer of course it won't be off all night however, if this works it should help even during the summer, not so much cool the attic but at least the air will circulate.

I'm trying a new way to freshen the air in the house - saw it on some, I don't remember, maybe Youtube or maybe facebook or maybe Pinterest - anyhow - I don't remember the proportions exactly but I don't think it matters - a bunch of rock salt, add a goodly amount of cloves, some cinnamon,  cinnamon sticks and some baking soda - they said to add vinegar to the mixture but baking soda and vinegar bubble up and that would wet the entire concoction and so I'm skipping the vinegar and I ordered 'powdered' lemon peel - never knew dried lemon peel came in a powdered form

The mixture makes sense to me - the spices are obvious but I remember salt lamps were the 'thing' back some years ago for freshening the air and of course baking soda does wonders in so many ways - I've some 4X8 muslin sacks I used when I put herbs in soup and so I think I'll put the mixture in the sacks and if they work then a bunch of them will also go into the attic - don't know how long the mixture will last - they say a cup of it will freshen about 500 square feet in an area with a typical 8 foot ceiling. My home ceilings are higher but the attic ceiling is about 6 feet.

Always fun trying new tricks especially if they don't cost much...

Can't believe tomorrow is Easter - I've decided enough with Easter gifts - sent ecards plus we are still keeping our prayer vigil for my cousin - she did have a couple of good hours earlier in the week but has gone down appreciably since - all her kids came in from as far away as California - my cousin lives in North Carolina as does my daughter and my kid sister. Making the trip back East is too much for me and so my daughter is updating me.

Hope all y'alls Easter is fulfilling - anyone dying eggs?

Hi Don, wishing you also  a Happy Easter. Hope you come by more often.

Long gone are the days of dying eggs here. Neighbour has coloured eggs, white,brown,blue and green. :)

Do you have a washing machine that tells you when to clean it?? These new fangled machines are for the birds!!   Mine is now going through a cleaning cycle, didn't have to do that with my other machine or the wringer washing machine.
