From Bubble, "I hope to be active again next week.
First New Year on Sunday.  Thanks."

I found this comment on another site.


"Maybe she just doesn't realize a Medicare card, and a miniskirt don't belong on the same woman."

We're cooling from lows of 32 and highs of 52 or 53. AND

Special Weather Statement issued September 25 at 4:01PM AKDT by NWS Fairbanks

...Snow Possible Across Eastern Interior Monday Into Tuesday...

A mix of rain, snow and cooler temperatures is expected across the Eastern Interior from Monday into Tuesday. Rain and snow will develop Monday morning from Tok south, and then spread northwest to Denali, Fairbanks, and Ft Yukon by late Monday afternoon, and to the Brooks Range by Monday night. The rain and snow is expected to taper off Tuesday.

At valley level, such as in Fairbanks, snow should melt as it hits the ground. At elevations above 2000 feet, between 2 and 4 inches of snow accumulation is possible between Monday and Tuesday.

well good Night and seet deams. I just red but am too tired to make a post to reply. mabey try tomorow. the heat got to Nancy worse than me and she said lets go home so we did, and never stayed for the cake cutting. I am sure it was good, over the years I have had lot of wedding cakes severial of my owen, but something for you to work on as to how much cake I have had. Nancy is my first and fifth wife. but no more for me. we have  been togather + side of sixteen years this time,that is enough for me. good night and sweet dreams.

I'm definitely NOT ready for snow!  As far away as Fairbanks is from me, I don't think I have to worry about it yet.  But I did bring in my birdbath in case of a quick freeze. 

The gold finch that I went eye-to-eye with yesterday at the bird feeder was there again today but he had company and when I went out to fill the feeder they all flew away!

Cooper will be back tomorrow very early so I'm off to the haystack.  I did a bit of paper work today and read a lot.  I watched one show on TV.  It was an old Roy Rogers show with Gabby Hayes in it. I love those old shows.  And my sister, in all her family registry, says that we are very distantly related to Gabby Hayes.  He was quite a character!

We had the tail end of a thunderstorm this evening.  I think it might have lasted about 10 minutes with wind and heavy rain and then the sun came out again.

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

That thunder storm just went past here - heading NorthEast

well I had another of those sleepless nights. I got on here and viewed the deavastaion of the damage back on the east coast, well looking at ther damage, I think about the saying how sad I was I had no shoews untill I seen a man with no feet.what i seean onley one woan lost her life, a four old boy was missing,but they found ham and he was alright with only miner ingeory's. Just count your blessings.

Good morning...

Starting out at 50° and it is going to be a rainy day so they say.

I did manage tp put away all the carrots we need plus cooked some up to freeze for the dogs.  Then say and sewed, just have a little bit left to do then label and get the quilt ready for a new home.

We are heading into the city meeting up with Bri and giving her the carrots that we are not needing plus some other things I picked up for them. Will pick up items for a friend and they will get them tomorrow.

Jane, we know that ***** is coming...I am not looking forward to the dance. I am thankful that the snowblower does the work.

Patricia, love the comment.   Please keep the **** there.

Best put an egg in my boot and beat it...

Enjoy your day and stay safe..

Good Morning Everyfriend!  I've begun watching for Cooper's arrival from inside the window.  Anything under 60º is too cold to wait outside on the swing in my pajamas...even with a sweat shirt over them! 

He's here for the day and he's begging for the last of my breakfast and then he'll head for the door to wait for our walk.  He knows the schedule better than I do! 

Not sure what today will bring but I talked to Cathy already this morning and we have some plans for the coming week.  Now I better get on my horse and get moving or this day will go to pot!

I wish you all a good day...better than yesterday but not as good as tomorrow!

Hello...Hello...Hello....[/b]Hellooooooo!

I've been in to read a couple times (got up at 3:30am) puttered around & finally ate a JimmyDean sausage, egg & cheese biscuit & had a cup of coffee. Tiger went back to bed as soon as she got me up so I headed back to join her BUT... All of a sudden my tummy decided it needed to get rid of that breakfast so promply did such. YUCK!  Only time in my life I ever threw up was when I had Covid and when pregnant (pretty sure neither is the problem). I don't feel sick so now it's lunch time, to eat or not to eat. I'm not eating enough red meat/protein and that is my biggest problem ever, but meat has not looked good in the stores.  Ever since having Covid whatever I eat has to sound good to my head or it just won't go down, never had that issue before Covid.

Has anyone see a post from our Florida Friends? Sounds like this is not a good week for them. Prayers for all in danger. Keep us posted when you can, thoughts will be with you.

Hi 

:
   

Good evening everyone. well it is 50º and clear. not a cloud in sight. we do not need the storm's with the weather but sure could use some of the rain here. we neither arein shape to get out and take care of the raised beds so they aregoing down hill fast. as the sayaing goes to old to cut the mustard any more.well the grand childern changed the derection's and are going some place in minasoaita,to much bad weather in floria. see you all again later.

Lloyd

It has been a lazy day around here. Weather really nice for most people but a tad hotter than I prefer (81). Bring on winter, to me it's easier to keep up with snow than that green grass growing so fast! That reminds me, better get an empty 5 gal gas can to fill when I fill the car this week, have 2 dollars off regular price, 35 gal each dollar & must use it by last day of this month. That is a savings of $75 but have to use the whole dollar each time so I check with a grand & his significant other to see if they want to meet & fill each of their cars. We (most people) line up & pass the "spout" to the next car until it shuts off automatically. Almost a game but nice way to stretch the money. My car needs gas & the snow blower will take a mixture, my son does the mixing & have a couple neighbors that polish off MY driveway for me & get to clean off their's.  The snow blower is about same size as the Toro battery powered lawn mower so will have to do some garage switching, need a bigger storage building!

Bubble, I did some research about these Jewish Holy Days, wondering why Christians didn't carry them on like so many of the Jewish/Christian holidays. I loved it when Don spent time visiting you and between the two of you, would post photos of all that delicious food and explain the services.

In MY world I am sure that the God I pray to appreciates how anyone shows love and respect for His life and kindness, so with my pitiful knowledge, I bid you:  "Happy New Year." The equivalent in Hebrew is "Shanah tovah," (pronounced shah-NAH toe-VAH) which literally means "good year," (and my Missouri twang doesn't work well with anything but the English language!) I mean that with sincere good will for all your family.

I went to sleep during Perry Mason and woke up half way through the second Emergency show.  I guess I was tired.  Got a lot done today but it took some time and energy.  Cooper won't be here until a little before 11 a.m. tomorrow so I can sleep in...I hope!

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

Good morning everyone,IT IS 45º here this morningning @ 5:05 AM, and clear sky,well the honey mooners, changed there deretichon for there honey Moon, the hearcaine on the coast in florda , so they got a rezort in minisoita. wow the aleargey,s are realey making my life miseriable this morning. dont usualy bother me but are eating me alive this morning. Have a great day just the way you like it. I do not normsly be bothered but my blood sugars are alo reay high this morning,normaly under a 100 but this morning was 275, I am going to call the saw bones at va this morning and see if they have a good reason for it.

Lloyd

Good morning...

Calling for more rain again today. Yesterday we had a bit  of rain but  also the day was a sunny one at times.

Playing catch up today..always something needs to be done before winter sets in.

Lloyd.......food puts your surgar up...potatoes, white bread ,cake , pie ,cookies and the list goes on. I know it is not easy to cut back on what you have enjoyed in the past years but..  My friend has cut back on what she eats, yes she will have a small sliver of pie not the whole slice. This is just the odd time for a treat. She had canned tomato soup and found out it was loaded with sugar so watch the labels on the food.  You can get this under control it takes time and work.


Jane, I could go back to bed and snuggle under but two dogs say to get up. Babe will wiggle up close to me and paw and if to say you in there???

Better get the day rolling.

Enjoy your day and stay safe.

I'm up and had my coffee and my breakfast (one of "Jim's Egg Thingys") and the bed is made.  I'm not dressed because I have to get a shower in before Cooper shows at 10:45.  I might have overnight company.  Frankie works until 7:30 today and then has to be back in by 7 tomorrow morning. 

LLOYD, My grandmother and my mother and my sister all suffered from Diabetes so I understand what you're going through.  They all made substitutions in their diets for things they knew would raise the numbers.  And AMY is right about watching what you eat.  It's not easy but it let my grandmother live to the age of 84 when her expectancy was about 69!  It's amazing what you can do if you try!

I'm off to get my day going!  I wish you all a good one...better than yesterday but not as good as tomorrow!

Jane's James Eggy Thingys =  JET so you have a JET for breakfast :))Go power!!!

Good Morning,

Adding my 2cents worth to comments to about blood sugar...

Lloyd, any food with carbohydrates can affect your count. No need to stop eating all carbs but it is necessary to watch how many you eat at one time - or during the day.  You might ask the VA if you can contact a Diabetic Dietician.  He/she can help you manage this.

There were six pairs of cardinals at the bird feeder early yesterday evening...and one extra.  Hope the feral cat that wanders around didn't get its mate.  (Sorry, Shirley, but those of us who enjoy bird feeders really get at the neighbor who leaves her garage door up a bit so a mom/three almost grown children ferals can sleep and eat there.)

News said that we could see details of the planet Jupiter just after sunset last night.  Several gathered outside to look and had fun visiting but Jupiter didn't rise far enough for us to see it before we needed to go in. 

Hope Everyone had a Merry Monday and will have a Terrific Tuesday. 

Trust me, Callie, this cat mom DID NOT leave a door up for those critters to get in. I was horrified what that one did that I did not know was in.... it must have sneaked in when we were doing something in the back yard & when they get trapped, they freeze & don't move till they feel any human is long gone. We never did see it when cleaning out it's mess so just as sneaky getting out. My wonder is how it survived several days without ANY water! I've put moth balls in storage area, even under wheel well of the motorhome & in the one storage place they hid out in (enough space for them to climb under the siding & no way to block it).... Makes me sick at my stomach to see animals so starved but I do not want to be responsible for them and don't think I should be the ones to call Animal Control when they must be hiding out most of the time in the empty house in the neighborhood. So far we've paid to have 4 "fixed" and 4 others trapped & hauled off to be put to sleep (at which time I cried my eyes puffy).... These cats were never to come inside the house but 12 degrees below zero & they wouldn't go inside the warm hut Cas created for them because it didn't have an escape back door.... and I don't want to run up against that again! Nobody else willing to deal with them even when I offered to pay for their getting "fixed" & being given to someplace else. Ferals are not adoptable.

Callie, I just got back & re-read that post of mine & it sounds like I was angry... not at all. I just am so upset at having more cats to deal with I have been kind of put out nobody else will do anything about them. Like you, I'm a bird lover first and threw my broom at a neighbor's cat that used to raid the bird nests in our berm. We fed the ones we adopted so much they didn't have to hunt. When Tiger dies I will get a dog and that should end any more ferals showing up in MY yard. Old LaurenKat, first one adopted, used to bring Cas a mole or whatever makes the tunnels under ground, lots of mornings. Cas & the guy next door bought traps to catch the moles but never had any luck... but old LaurenKat brought him 3 in one day since she noticed HE wanted them! The guys put away their traps. 

From Lloyd..

Today at 06:38:42 AM

Lloyd

Good morning...

Not much sun to show today ,that's ok. Working indoors today. I have a cupboard that needs cleaning and throw out outdated items which I am sure that some need to go.

Used up the bananas that were on their way out and now are mini muffins....just pop in mouth size. Neighbour gave me a dig about bread,said if I make, don't forget him....so that is another job on the list...later.

Crows are gathering up and it has been a while since I have heard the loons on the lake. Dropwing (crow) was here in the Spring but that is the only time I saw him .

Enjoy your day and stay safe..



 

Good Morning Everyfriend!  I was so tired last night that I fell asleep on the sofa and then decided that it was time for the haystack.  I did my "getting ready for bed" stuff, said good night to Frankie and Cooper and I hit the hay! 

It's 52º and cloudy out there.  I think Cathy said we were going to hit the Farmers Market sometime today.  I guess I'll get ready and just hang around until she texts that she's on the way.  I can just do some odds and ends that need doing until that time.

We have lots of feral cats around this area but so far, the presence of dogs in my yard have kept them out of there.  We do see them on our walks.  There is a camper trailer park down the street and they hide out under the trailers.  There's also a vacant house down the other way that draws them.  The one good thing about having them around is that there is no sight of skunks!

I guess I better get moving.  I wish you all a good day...better than yesterday but not as good as tomorrow.

Good morning; 31 degrees here with a heavy frost. leaves have colored, but none have dropped, so it doesn't look good. I've been a permanent cat foster for nineteen years, twenty in November, and I've taken in the worst frightened, abused, neglected, and unadoptable cats, all ferals, and given them permanent indoor-only homes.

Farrah found on a sandbar in the middle of a glacial river, hid under my bed for six months, and, for a month afterward, would give me six or more foot space until she learned she was safe. Alan called her my ghost kitty.


Dog Breeders like my sister had plans in place for the returns of dogs she sold for seven to nine hundred dollars each. All they had to do was call, and she would take them back. Routinely she would get calls from local animal control all over the country of abandoned dogs, or ones turned into dog pounds. It's the primary reason she left the business.

My friend John who lives out on Murphy Dome, had multiple dogs abandoned on the roadside that he found homes for. He routinely gives license numbers, and the car makes from cameras on his property, leaving animals he sends to police, but they can't do anything.

Cats and dogs are abandoned like trash and must learn how to survive. They result from careless breeding, ignorance, cruelty, and momentary fads. Several of the animals adopted at the height of Covid are now back on the streets, no longer wanted. Many with the microchips attached. We're a throw-away society that doesn't believe in neutering.
