They're kidding, right?
I try to remember to check sell-by dates. I always check nutritional values. I appreciate the information. I pass on fat, sodium and calorie laden food.
But why list nutritional values in water? It's WATER. I don't need to know the values in water. It doesn't take an advanced education to deduce nutritional value in water....it's zero.
Saturday night is movie night, our movie snack is plain microwave popcorn.
Riddle me this: The caloric content in 3 Tbsp. of UNpopped corn is 120 but in 1 cup popped it's 15. Total fat is 2g UNpopped, 0 popped. Who eats UNpopped corn? What happens to fat and calories in the microwave? Wanda bakes then freezes banana bars. I warm them in the microwave, fewer calories?
After living with cats more than twenty-five years they still surprise me. Sparky is having dental problems. Sometimes when he's eating he'll yowl and run from his food. The last time it happened he wouldn't eat for almost two days. He needs a cleaning and probably a few teeth removed. We took him to the vets last Friday. We got antibiotics and made an appointment for surgery this morning.
At midnight I removed the food and water dishes. That was the only difference in the regular routine. We left the cat carrier on the shelf in the garage. We gave the cats no indication anyone was going to the docs this morning. I got up to make coffee at 6:45. Sparky would not come near me. All I did was glance at him and behind the couch he ran. After some coaxing Wanda and I got him in the carrier. I took him in at 8 a.m.
This is not anthropomorphism. The cats knew something was up. I've always given them the credit they deserve. I wish everyone did. Spay and neuter your cats, and please, if you can, keep them in the house.
Oh, by the way. On the way home from the vets last Friday Sparky peed in the carrier. His belly, legs and tail were soaked when he got home. We cleaned him using a warm wash cloth and wet wipes. I guess he's telling us! This morning we put a large towel in the carrier.
I've always been slightly obsessed with words and our difficult English language. One of my favorites is meet and meat. I would like you to meet me-at the meat market. Homographs are words of like spelling but with more than one meaning. A homograph that is also pronounced differently is a heteronym.
The bandage was wound around the wound.
The farm was used to produce produce.
The dump was so full that it had to refuse more refuse.
We must polish the Polish furniture.
He could lead if he would get the lead out.
The soldier decided to desert his dessert in the desert.
Since there is no time like the present, he thought it was time to present the present.
A bass was painted on the head of the bass drum.
When shot at, the dove dove into the bushes.
I did not object to the object.
The insurance was invalid for the invalid.
There was a row among the oarsmen about how to row.
They were too close to the door to close it.
The buck does funny things when the does are present.
A seamstress and a sewer fell down into a sewer line.
To help with planting, the farmer taught his sow to sow.
The wind was too strong to wind the sail.
Upon seeing the tear in the painting I shed a tear.
I had to subject the subject to a series of tests.
How can I intimate this to my most intimate friend?
I don't have info on the author. Avie sent me the e-mail, thanks Avie.
According to Bankrate.com the five worst home markets for the second quarter of 2013 are Peoria and Decauter, Illinois, Florence, S.C., Erie, Pa. and Pittsfield, Mass. Apparently many people think it's appropriate to leave damming comments about Obama when discussing falling home values. The next slide show lists the best home markets for the second quarter of 2013. What a surprise, the blamers, bitchers and moaners disappear. Where is the praise?
Every day I get more disgusted with comments I read on-line. But, it's a free country, no one is forcing me to read them.
You hit the jackpot if your home is in the Sacramento-Roseville, Ca. area, it's up 39.2%. Atlanta, Ga. area isn't far behind. Cape Coral-Ft. Meyers, Fla. is next followed by Reno-Sparks and Las Vegas-Paradise, Nevada.
And while I'm on the subject.
A demolition company has mistakenly torn down a three-bedroom home in North Texas rather than the condemned building next door.
David and Delphinia Blotcher put their lakefront house on the market several months ago. Last Saturday they stopped by to mow the lawn. The grass was still there but the house was gone. All that remained was a concrete slab foundation.
The condemned building is still standing.
