Gah!
I need to stop looking at stuff "out there."

Good morning, one and all! I have nothing much on my agenda today, other than cutting the grass. I'm supposed to do a "driving Miss Daisy" thing today, but that may not happen. The customer never told the center where she needs to go, or what time she needs to be there. All we know is that her appointment is for today, sometime. Neither the center or I have been able to reach her on the phone. Oh, well. I can't help her without more information....
It's nice to talk to an old friend.
PC(USA) General Assembly voted to authorize gay weddings last summer. Whether it passes the votes of the presbyteries is another thing - we'll see. My presbytery will probably vote yes.
I am well aware of the controversy, having represented one side of it within my own congregation a couple of years ago. At that time I learned my local church was a good deal more conservative than I'd previously thought. It was a distressing discovery when a congregation that espouses "Glorify God" as its main function in this world actually shows that to be "Glorify God (unless you're gay)". We almost left over that - but decided if our family can represent God's love of all to the congregation, then maybe at least we would be heard and understood gradually...
My recent blood work results are in, and the numbers aren't great. Even though I take a statin drug daily, my cholesterol is elevated and my triglycerides are very high. Now my doctor is saying I should reduce my carb intake.
But....carbs are yummy....
I'm giving it a shot. It's the McDonald's that'll be really hard. I'm gonna cut way back, though. I can substitute grilled chicken wraps for burgers. I can skip the fries, or occasionally get one of the smallest sizes. Quitting the pancakes may kill me, though. I LOVE the pancakes, and usually have them about three days a week. I need to make myself order the oatmeal, instead.
You're right. Getting old sucks. But, it beats the alternative....
At this point, I couldn't tell one from the other. What makes the difference?
One cup of cereal. Check the serving size on the box and look at the carbs/serving.
Milk has carbs too.
[Wow, it's $20+ here minimum. I do go to a local hardware place so at least you only pay for the fuel you add.
Made tri-tip, it was really good!
Today we wanted to get out of the house but it was not really beach weather. We wanted to avoid town because 50,000 people were expected at the lantern ceremony. We decided to go to north shore and have garlic shrimp at Tita's.
We headed up and by the time we got to Haleiwa the traffic was stopped. We turned around and drove basically halfway around the island, it was fun though! Then we decided to continue in the same direction home until- you guessed it- hit traffic again! So we turned around AGAIN and drove all the way back around! Nice day though! Beautiful views all day long.
Several of my Uke Club minions like to go for the entire week (or close to it). They love that field. Just the field, though.
So who's going to UWC this year?
I know Freeda, Sally and Sukie are in. Tammy too I think (does she still post here?). Ukulelerob are you coming?
Anyone else?
Gary, what is your average daily intake? Like give me an example of your typical meals for the day?
I've never seen options like that here. There are always salads available, and often vegetarian entrees. I love eggs, and I love oatmeal (but that's back to carbs, right?). I'm trying to do better, but it's not easy, as everyone knows. I had my shredded wheat this morning, and two grilled chicken snack wraps for lunch. And, (are you sitting down?) I have not had any Diet Coke since last Sunday. I never would have thought I could do that....
Ouch ...
I hope she is OK. Is it usual for her to not answer? Does she live close, to where you can stop in and check on her?
My grandma is in assisted living. The other day, I called her. I heard her pick up the phone but never heard anything else and it scared me. I live quite a ways away. My mom lives close to her, so she went and checked. If my mom hadn't, I would have called the assisted living place and asked them to check. This is my dad's mom. Her only living family is my aunt, her grandkids and one nephew. My aunt use to go see her daily but she just moved up north.
