I heard about the Alaskapox being in Fairbanks about a month ago too. Last I heard there were 7 cases. I haven't heard about monkey pox or mouse pox spreading though. Mice scare me because of their filth. I read where they have no bladder control at all so they leak urine continually. And then there is that hantavirus mess. I hate meeces to PEEces.

Gas is taxed in both Ohio and Indiana. I didn't know how much so I looked it up. Indiana is 34 cents a gallon Ohio is 38.5 cents a gallon. The Whiting refinery is the largest in the Midwest and B.P.'s largest in the world. It's only one county away from ours. Got a call from the place where the cardiologist office is. They want me to wear a heart monitor before I see the doctor on April 25th.... For a month! Crimony. Just shoot me now. I have to go tomorrow to get it installed. I packed/moved/donated all of my button front shirts so I have to go buy one in the morning because all of my blouses are where? Indiana. Did I even mention about a cardiologist? I'm like Mt. Rider, I can't remember who I told; Monitor tomorrow Blood Pressure nurse. March 29th. Electrocardiogram. Apr 2nd. Cardiologist. Apr. 25th. Regular doctor check up. May 14th. Ear doctor July 23rd. But hey, my house is dry and l have heat...today. Subject to change as it's snowing like crazy right now.

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY TO THE EUPHRASYNES! I'm always surprised by how much more expensive gas is in Indiana compared to Ohio. You'd think over in northwest Indy it would be cheaper because of the huge refinery in Whiting. Nope. Littlesister, glad you are feeling better and getting your strength back. Mt.Rider, best of luck with your appointment tomorrow and prayers for your neighbors.

Do you think St. Patrick liked sauerkraut???
Jeepers replied to Midnightmom's topic in Preserving the Harvest
I'm on a salt restricted diet so I can't have much. It's an occasional treat. . When I tried to make it many many years ago, it got wigglie things in it. I was making a pan full and not in jars. This was in the 80's pre computers, so I'm sure it was user error. But I can't unsee that mess I had. Unlike mine, yours looks delicious! -

Jeepers replied to Midnightmom's topic in Preserving the Harvest
That's a lot of cabbage. I like sauerkraut but I had a bad experience one time when I tried to make it. I'll spare you details but I'm not going to try it again. It was gruesome. I'm thinking about buying a huge gallon jar of it and canning it in 1/2 pint jars. -
I'm fine. Thanks for asking! It was so bad down there. It went south of me. I'm in the Cleveland (Cuyahoga County) area. Way up north east. It's snowing right now.

Dang Euphrasyne, that appliance looks like one stop shopping. Awesome. TMC, you are singing my song about not being able to find stuff. Mine is scattered between Ohio and Indiana. Whatever I need is guaranteed to be at the other place. I got errands run today. Went to Walmart and got my quart jars. Incase you're interested, I looked on line and 2 of our WM's didn't have them but the one closet to me did. They weren't in the canning aisle but in the big center aisle. Two big pallets of wide mouth quarts and two pallets of regular mouth pints. I got 3 boxes of quarts that Necie could possibly end up with. LOL. Depends if I get them filled this summer. They were just under $17.00 a case of 12. Probably should have bought 4 cases. Walmart was very well stocked. I didn't go up and down all of the food aisles but I did look down them and all the shelves were full. Could've been faced though? But it looked good. I'm hearing about a lot of food shortages, but my area is still looking pretty good. Especially for a Sunday afternoon. I got my ambien filled. I have to jump through hoops to get it. I'm good with that though. I only need it occasionally. A week on and a couple of weeks off. It will be good to get regulated so I can get more stuff done. My hours are crazy if left to my own devices. My inner clock is set to night owl mode. I got some window blinds. They aren't wide enough. I had a feeling but took a chance. They will go back. Darn it. I just want some cheap plastic roller type to leave behind. Went to Dollar Tree. Their med aisle still looks great. But they don't carry Curad bandaids. Neither did Walmart. Maybe Meijers? Filled up the gas tank. $3.15 a gallon. Came home and got curtains hung at the livingroom window. It's a huge window but most of the old curtains fit it. All except the bottom row but I can make those myself. It would have cost a lot to have replaced them so I'm glad I could still use the old ones. Just cheap Priscilla curtains that were here when I moved in nearly 35 years ago. But they still look nice. I still have to figure out the tie backs. Hopefully I'll have the same luck with the diningroom window as it's kinda one big room and the old curtains I had for it matched the living room window.

@Mt_Rider you NEED Maui. That is just too much hard work for not much in return. Bad for both you and your DH health. Pot here calling the kettle black. Don't feel bad about the car. Last winter I backed mine into the side of the garage. Bumper is still smashed in because I still don't have a ride to and from the shop. Whatever. It makes it easy to identify in a parking lot. Still can't believe I did that. It's a wonder the air bag didn't go off. You know my luck. I have a small Amazon order to make. Among other things, I think I need some quart size canning jars for pie filling this summer. I really only like Kerr jars. A dozen wide mouth Kerr quart jars are $40.00. I wanted 3 cases. Some of the Ball jars aren't priced much better. Walmart had some Ball wide mouth quart jars for $17.00 a dozen. If they are still in stock, I'm going to bite the bullet and pick some up today. Wide mouth will make the sticky pie filling easier to dig out. In theory. I don't think they sell Kerr jars east of the Mississippi River. At least I have never been able to find them. I didn't think I was ever going to use quarts again so I didn't buy any more when I had the chance. BTW, I only knew HBA was 'health and beauty aids' because at one time I worked in a retail store. At the time, I thought everyone knew that...except for me.

Oh my Annarchy, that is so beautiful! I love how you did that big tree. It looks so real. I wish I could do something like that. I have no artistic talent. Thanks for posting your art work.

Sorry you are ailing Littlesister. Don't fight the rest. It will help your body recover. Mt. Rider, I can't imagine that much snow. Well, actually I can. But it's been a long time since we've had that much. It is pretty and serene though. Especially if you can stay inside and snuggle under a quilt, with a good book, a cup of something warm in front of a crackling fire. Someone has been watching too many old movies. In reality I'm usually out there with frozen extremities, runny nose, sweating through too many layers of clothing trying to shovel a path so Amazon can get to the door.

COLONOSCOPY. Son needs a colonoscopy not a colonostomy. The test. Not the surgery. Crimony. Don't know if it was me or autocorrect. Dammittohell.

Glad you are okay Necie. I was concerned about you when I saw Fort Wayne and also Berne were under a warning. It was south of me too here in Ohio. But it was in Muncie which is getting too close to my family down there in Rush County.

I forgot to mention that when I was searching for window screen clips, Lowes had ALL of their electrical wire padlocked up. Nearly half an aisle worth. Shortages? Copper? And Walmart had their ENT stuff behind plexiglass but it wasn't locked...yet. That was new since about a month ago when I bought Debrox there. What really stumped me was the shaving stuff. Everything concerning shaving from electric razors, razor blades, disposible razors, hair clippers and even shaving cream was locked up. In the next case were pregnancy tests and condoms and OB/GYN stuff. I kinda get that but disposable razors and shaving cream? We aren't in a particular high crime area here. Probably the new look for the future I guess. They have a new section set up for those locked cases and beauty items, like make up and hair stuff, with a register right there. It serves about 4 aisles. Not my area. I was just walking through to see what was back there. HBA was decently stocked. I think northeast Ohio must have gotten a huge shipment of HBA stuff because our Dollar Tree is very well stocked in that area too. I'm going today to get some more Curad flexible bandaids. I had some for well over 5 years and they went through my epic flood and they still work great. Still sticky and flexible. They didn't get wet but the house was VERY damp for a couple of months. Mousture was literally dripping down the walls and windows. Speaking of...Dollar Tree is closing nearly 1000 Family Dollar stores. No locations disclosed yet. Rat infected warehouse and violent crime and theft cited. Incase I threw anyone off... ENT = Ear, nose, throat OB/GYN = women stuff HBA = health and beauty aids

Lots of tornado activity in the Midwest. Especially around Illinois, Ohio and Indiana. Stay safe out there. I've been watching it on Ryan Hall Y'all.

Thank You! Son needs a stress test and a colonostomy. Joy. If it ain't one end it's the other. Colonoscopy. Not colonostomy. I can't cross it out in this phone. For now, it's just the test. Crimony.

I am a math idiot (dyscalculia) so the only one I get is the cat. Pie are round. If nothing else I'm honest.

I wasted a trip to the bank. I thought you had 10 days before and 10 days after, grace period before a CD matures. Nope. Only 10 days after. Mine is due tomorrow. Yet they keep sending me emails that it's about to expire. It's only 13 months old so there probably isn't much of a change. I aced my drug test. Everything was negative. They tested for a lot of stuff too. They sent results to me before the doctor. He has to see them then he will send the prescription for ambien in. I did get the new BP med though. I spent 30 min. on hold at my Indiana bank because in the 5 years I've been there I have never been able to access my account on line. They have to do my banking for me. I don't like anything about that bank but Key Bank isn't over there. Then I was on hold for over 55 min. with India trying to get my cable TV canceled. After 55 min. the call was dropped. Other than the obvious aggravation, she had to come on every 2 minutes to tell me she is still there and wait for me to answer. Maybe tomorrow. Then over 35 min. waiting to make a cardiologist appointment. Actually a echocardiogram. I go on Apr. 2nd. which I thought was pretty fast. I see a cardiologist on Apr. 25th. Assuming I don't have to wear a monitor before I see a doctor. It's cutting it pretty close to the time I want to move. I have been on hold nearly all afternoon. Maybe I'll remember to call ATT early in the AM to see if it's any faster. I didn't mind the wait as much as the dropped call. I got a load of paper to the dumpster and another 2 bags of trash to another one. Also all the bags of clothing donated to the Salvation Army. It was 12 bags by the time I was through. I might get one more. I got the light shade things on the ceiling fan changed out and the filthy fan cleaned. And two small ceiling lights in the family room replaced. The dinning room table and chairs are all cleaned as is the divider thing between the family room and kitchen cleaned. Everything was disgusting. I need to get a new pill splitter. Mine mostly mashes things and I have two different pills to split. And a little pill minder for the half one I have to take in the mornings. Also some Elmer's glue for the wallpaper downstairs and a burgundy magic marker for some wallpaper in an upstairs room that got scuffed up. And a kitchen trash can. Bunch of little things but inexpensive. I got the rest of my fish meds yesterday. Two of the plastic bottles were slightly dented like there might be an oxygen absorber in them. Don't know but I'm not opening them. Oh, and Mike the handy dude put my other screen in for me. He is a nice guy and even more chatty than I am. Seriously, there is another one. I had to get the screen clips from Amazon. Son is at his cardiologist now so I'm waiting for some good news from him.

I'm so sorry you had to do that Miki. It wasn't your fault he was like that. You tried your best to bring him around. But he couldn't keep biting your husband. Peoples safety has to come first. And it would have been a disaster if he had attacked anyone else. It was the right decision, but still hard. Our weather is starting to warm up in the 60's. We had very little snow this year. The snow plow guy only came twice this year. One of those times I don't think it really needed it. Not complaining $$$ I'm getting p*ssy in my old age. I have repeatedly told the project manager to let me know the day before anyone comes. I have a life. So I got a call at 7:15 this morning saying Mike is on his way if I'm available. That made me mad. Like I'm supposed to be here 24/7 in case someone shows up. I told him sorry, I have banking to do that has to be done today and a prescription to pick up. Told him I'd be home at noon. Then Mike said the PM said I never answer my phone so he didn't know if I was home or not. LIAR. I always answer the phone if I'm able. If not I call right back. Same with texts. I showed Mike my phone proving that PM didn't text me until 7:15 this morning and at 7:18 I returned his text. If you want to make me beyond angry...lie on me. Mike said PM is always throwing someone under the bus. Anyway, I think they are all finished now. The bathroom sink caulk is still messed up but I'm going to do that myself. I should be able to do that with a tube of caulk. Can't look any worse.

Euphrasyne, I get it about titles. We call second cousins our cousin etc. My G-son calls a few people his aunt and uncle because he doesn't have any blood related ones. I think they are really DIL's cousins or something or someone married in. It's all good. Also, with them, it's more of a respect thing. They don't like for him calling adults by their first name unless he says mister or miss and then their first name. His neighbors were Mister Dennis and Miss Kelly. I'm sorry you lost your aunt that you loved so much. Of course you are sad.

Went to the doctor today. Mostly just a blood pressure check. I complained about my BP and dizziness. I told him when I check my blood pressure my heart rate is always too high. I told him I'm sure I have POTS. He said he can't say for sure without proper testing, but he is pretty certain too. So, another med that should help with BP and rapid heart rate. It's one I was on a long long time ago so I know I can take it. A very low dose to start with. Metoprolol or something like that. Autocorect is not helping. Wonder if the pharmacy can get it. I also complained about sleep issues. He finally prescribed my ambien! It is a controlled substance evidently and I had to sign a form saying I don't take any opioids, and that I would only get them from his practice and no other pharmacy than the one I use and he asked if I used Marijuana.... I had to give a blood test and a urine test. I'm totally clean. Fortunately I only need to take it occasionally. All of that was the easy part. I had to use a mouse to sign electronically. I couldn't do it. You have to hold the mouse down and move it around while signing your name. Mouse was on a slippery desk. I know it took me over 10 trys to get something scrawled on there. All the while he was trying to make it work. I was so embarrassed. Finally something showed up on the screen and he said, "Good enough." He also gave me a number for a cardiologist referral if I want to see one. Suppose it will determine how long out an appointment is.

I've had a couple of busy days. Ran errands yesterday. Went to Costco to check on my membership. I wasn't sure when it expired and DIL uses it. I have until the end of June. Went over to Best Buy for a laptop. Not sure why since my internet is out. But there it is. My energy was fading fast but I went on in to Hobby Lobby. I just wanted a little plant thingy for the bathroom insert. I had checked out Walmart and Meijers and all they has were big ones. I got a small fern thing on sale for $5.00 and a set of three tiny square bowls to put a bath bomb in for $3.50. They are probably meant for a dipping sauce? With those, the hall bathroom is complete. They were cheap but made the room look...sellable. I didn't have much energy left and was having a lot of dizziness issues. But I needed to find a clip thing to keep a screen window in place. Lowes sent me on a wild goose chase and Home Depot had no idea what I was talking about. Guess I'll have to Amazon them. By the time I got back toward home I thought I had enough umph to run in Meijers. I needed more dimmable light bulbs and a few other things. Mainly white glue. No Elmer's glue was to be found. Not even an empty place for it. Suppose I'll have to go back to Walmart for it. I need it for wallpaper repair. I did pick up some fruit. Our Meijers has the best fruit/veg around. Of course we don't have a lot of options. While out driving I noticed our Save A Lot closed down.

Oreo... Is the beef and noodles something you made, bought, froze or canned? Because that is something I would love!
