The fruit fly population is booming. I took care of part of the problem today. There was a box in my food storage room that had some past-its-prime fruit in it. When I took it out to dispose of it, a cloud of gnats (do you ever want to pronounce that “ga-nats”?) ascended. Oh, dear. That’s something I don’t need.... Read more

I’d posted a picture on Facebook last night for Father’s Day. However, I knew I had some pictures somewhere that I would prefer. This morning, I started hunting. I hunted and hunted and when I was just about to despair, I found them.... Read more

More than a couple of weeks ago, my handset #2 went missing. I looked high and low for it and even went out and scoured the grow boxes for any sign. I’d taken one of the phones out one day and I thought I might, possibly, have left it. With all the rain we’ve had, I was sure it would be no good to anyone but it would be, at least, closure....

Back in the days of Friends, they were watching a home movie of Monica before she lost so much weight. In her own defense she said, “The camera adds ten pounds!” One of the males (I think it was Chandler) said, “How many cameras were ON you?” I don’t have much excuse. I was having a hard enough time taking the following picture with my too big camera to be taking a shot like this. Using both hands caused me to be sort of hunched up.... Read more

Those women are more ambitious than I am. They don’t care what they eat, either, from what I’ve seen. Not a single label is read. Just go in, clear the shelves of whatever they can get for free or a few cents, then go home to stack it away in their mini-warehouses. It would drive me nuts to try to duplicate what they do. Spend anywhere from 20 to 60 hours a week clipping coupons and coordinating them with sales? I don’t think so. It makes me tired just to watch them so I’m through. I’ll take my one or two coupons to the store and enjoy being able to pay for 95% of my purchase rather than getting that much off a $1,000 spree.... Read more

That was my cry sometimes more than once a day when I was The Boss. And that is exactly why I’m taking my business elsewhere. I don’t want to be the topic of HIPAA-violating conversation. When my doctor told me he would fax an order “over” for a followup x-ray, I knew where he meant. I immediately asked for it to be redirected to my now hospital-of-choice. Since I’m next to unknown, I won’t be possible fodder for the hospital rumor mill.... Read more

To say the least, it’s been unsettling for my credit card to be maxed out and more. I’ve had it since 2004 and never even came close. One of the first things I did was to go to the web site and check my balance. It wasn’t in the red any more! Praise the Lord!... Read more

My reprieve is over. Emails are coming in about the Sabbath School lessons and I’m doing what I do badly—correcting and adding whatever has been left out. I guess I have no confidence in myself or my abilities but that isn’t necessarily a bad thing. When a person gets over-confident and thinks he/she can do no wrong, that’s when it’s bound to hit the fan. I’m at the other end of the spectrum. I’m feeling my way through the maze of HTML....

Not much to report for yesterday except for financial. I did some stuff around the house and emailed back and forth with the editor of SSNET. The trash can in the kitchen was full so I took the bag over to put it in the well house. I spied the kittens on the little deck beside the well house and they spied me.... Read more

The sound of rain was heard in the land yet again this morning. When I emptied the rain gauge a little while ago, it had 1.25″ in it. A nice amount for most of 36 hours. It’s not enough to make gullies but enough to soak the ground. I approve.... Read more
