I just ran across this picture, just the boys and me ...I’m not sure where Ginny and Richard were.

What a great day that was!

That is a great picture!

And now, I must be off. My sister needs to make some kind of a (funny?) trophy for her work, and wants me to go with her to The Home Depot to get some wood for the trophy.

Be back later.

Bk said in the notes about the Scarlet Johannson and Adam Driver film:
"It’s nothing we haven’t seen before, just longer."

That sounds like a line Dr. Ruth would suggest if she were asked to thrown in one-liners for "Take Me Out."

My AOC results are in: (that's AOC the Congresswomen) I've figured out there's nothing wrong with her that wouldn't be fine if she just had a staff member doublecheck her statistics Sio she could correct them before the event she uses the numbers at is over.

It's been a hectic day here. This morning I definitely felt I was coming down with something, modified my plans for the day, and took Sambucol and Echinacea. I felt better quickly, but found that the heater wasn't working. Sigh. I called the manager, who said a repairman could come out this afternoon. I rushed to take care of some grocery shopping. The repairman thought the thermostat just needed new batteries. I had one on hand that was the right size and my neighbor offered another, giving us the requisite two. I HOPE that takes care of it. It's been quite cold at night. The last time the thermostat needed to be replaced it was a battle with the management here.

I hope you are warm tonight.

Homelessness has become so much worse here in California. The fires left many people homeless and, in many cases, the fires left them without jobs as well. It's really heartbreaking.

WHEW!!

Does this mean they don't show any elevation or you are in pre-diabetes mode?

I was diagnosed as diabetic three years ago, but with medication, my numbers are all within the normal range. This time, my A1c went up one-tenth of one point, but it's also still within the normal range.

Geez. I wish mine were.

I have a huge dish of donut bread pudding in the oven. Smells wonderful.

After the show, I went to a Popeyes drive-thru so I could try the chicken sandwich. It took 25 minutes to get through it. Thankfully, I have a good book on tape to keep me entertained.

John G. · « **Reply #166 on:** December 17, 2019, 08:58:54 PM »

I am not a fan of chicken sandwiches. There's always too much of a feeling of carbs, and Popeyes's was no different. I ordered the spicy, of course. But the first few bites seemed to be of nothing but the bun and mayo.

Then I got to the meat of the sandwich (and the heat) and things got a little better. I also got a bite or two of pickle in there, which was fine.

But in the end, meh. Much ado about nothing. I will never go out of my way to have it again.

I'm now watching a series of silent Christmas films from 1901 to 1925. The current one, A Trap for Santa, is a melodrama. There's also a 10-minute version of A Christmas Carol and something called Santa Claus vs. Cupid.

Finished with my viewing. Also, read about five people earlier tonight and was there for ninety minutes, which was irritating.

I am now at home watching the Director's Cut of The Creature Wasn't Nice.

Both Tacoma and Puyallup are located in Pierce County. Yesterday it was announced that the woman that is the head of the Pierce County Housing Authority is believed to have embezzled Seven Million Dollars, over the past four years, into her personal accounts. She must have misunderstood the part where it says that the Housing Authority money is suppose to be used to house the poor and homeless.

I hope the authorities are planning on providing her with housing for the next 10 years or so. And recovering the $ and using it for the intended purpose

The strangest part is that she used a lot of the money to buy up property in Oklahoma! Do you think she is planning on a sanity defense?

The malfunctioning heater made me think about options for heating. Small, sometimes desk-sized heaters are available now and seem pretty popular. I'm thinking about buying one for the dinette area, which I use as a mini home office. It's freezing in there on cold days.

Anyone have any recommendations?

Don’t use a charcoal barbecue.
