Christmas in the New York City area must be fun, with a special energy of its own.
It's really worth it to try losing weight first; don't think that you have to get to ideal weight, just 10 pounds will make a big difference - it worked for me, and has lasted 8 years. The other day I was talking to a woman who had a knee replacement a year ago, and she's in no hurry to get the second one done because her whole leg below the knee is numb and she has 'drop ankle' which sounds like when your foot is asleep - you have to be really how you step on it. Florida probably has expert knee replacement professionals, but the rest of the States - who knows.
We inherited a smoker from a former renter, but have never used it. It's not very fancy, but I think all the parts are there. They probably never cleaned it, so now whatever was in it, is 10 years old. Maybe the grease etc. will just fall off. Sending hugs about the rest of all that.
I love the anchovies idea, took me awhile to find them.
I always wonder about the things in water the suppliers are not required to monitor. I am downstream from a sewage treatment plant for a resort town, and avoid wading or touching that river water because of all the pharmaceuticals that are surely being flushed down toilets, and I don't mean due to people discarding expired prescriptions.
Our nearby town is setting up a tree disposal site at the fairgrounds - opens on December 23, for the early celebrants who want to put the holiday behind them.
When I was younger, I wondered why my mother always bought double things, and she said 'in case they stop making it.' Sure enough, I've come to see the wisdom in that. Now my goal is to not outlive these must-haves.
What a nice surprise. It's always best to have someone set up a computer in person.
Inside animals must think it's the greatest thing to have a visiting tree in the living room.
I've seen tall burgers here and there, and always wondered how people were expected to eat them without deconstructing, and then you wouldn't get all the elements in each bite.
When our river coalition's domain name had to be re-applied for (long story why) we ended up with bigthompson.co (not .com or .org) and I don't like it, seems incomplete.
That's so much fun to run into someone who can offer a ride home. Good thing you got the tires looked at.
Doesn't the dashboard Door Ajar light work on the Isuzu?
It used to be if I had a choice between Mexican and Barbecue, I'd pick Mexican, but these days decent barbecue is easier to find, so now that's my favorite.
