Wasn't really in the mood for a proper meal, so got some bagels and cream cheese from Western Bagel. And then some freshly made peanut butter chocolate chip cookies from a local jernt - they make all their DoorDash orders fresh from the oven, so they were still warm when they arrived.

My doctor's appointment went well this morning, and I had a nice trip to Sam's Club where my ice cream itch was very well scratched.

Of course, I didn't get away with "just" ice cream, but I was determined that each purchase would have some excellent purpose. It was mostly food and it will be absolutely wonderful in future meals.

This evening, I met my cousin Butch, his fiancee Sharon, and my cousin (Butch's sister) Debra at the club for a nice evening out.

Debra and I had steak and fixins...Butch and Sharon had blackened salmon and fixins. We had excellent conversation, many people stopped by and said hello, and then we decided we should vacate our table and go home.

My meal was bought by Debra's son, Chad, one of the nicest relatives I know. She had told him it was a birthday dinner for me and that Butch and Sharon invited her. He demanded that my meal be paid for by him and that my dinner companions could simply be my present!

A memorable birthday, in advance, for moi!

vixmom · « **Reply #195 on:** August 31, 2023, 08:31:19 PM »

I could have gotten no name “replacement part” cheaper but opted to go for the names brand

vixmom · « **Reply #196 on:** August 31, 2023, 08:34:14 PM »

I walked into the mechanic explained the problem, then explained all the other locks were working, all the other electrical bits were working and that I was 99.9% sure it was the actuator that needed replacing and that Steve said he couldn’t order it until he had checked out the car.

“But since this is a holiday weekend and I need my car back fixed tonight, I bought one and here it is”

vixmom · « **Reply #197 on:** August 31, 2023, 08:36:16 PM »

The manager , Pete, laughed at the look on Steve’s face . He said, “OK Mrs. Vixmom, we’ll use your part if that’s what we diagnose”

vixmom · « **Reply #198 on:** August 31, 2023, 08:40:25 PM »

4 hours later I received a call from Steve ,” uh, we checked all the codes and cleared those out and tested all the door locks and all the electronics and um, uh it seems the problem is the uh ( mumbles) _{drivers door acuator}

vixmom · « **Reply #199 on:** August 31, 2023, 08:41:32 PM »

It has been quite noisy at times

vixmom · « **Reply #202 on:** August 31, 2023, 08:44:11 PM »

By way of an apology the building management hired a Mr. Softee truck to spend an hour at our building and everyone was welcome to have one cone or cup for free

vixmom · « **Reply #203 on:** August 31, 2023, 08:44:28 PM »

It was quite popular with the populace

vixmom · « **Reply #204 on:** August 31, 2023, 08:44:57 PM »

I myself had a cone…a chocolate vanilla twist…with chocolate sprinkles

In other news, this evening we discovered we had been invaded by teeny tiny ants

vixmom · « **Reply #206 on:** August 31, 2023, 08:47:05 PM »

They were sanding on the kitchen counter …yech

vixmom · « **Reply #207 on:** August 31, 2023, 08:47:59 PM »

vixmom · « **Reply #208 on:** August 31, 2023, 08:48:22 PM »

Hopefully we’ll be ant free
