Ever have one of those nights? 10:30 neighbors decide to revv their engines along with their friends. 10 minutes of that then they left, went back to bed. 11:15 Murray makes that sound that all dog lovers just love to hear: the barf. Got him outside, cleaned up, went back to bed. 3:22: the carbon monoxide detector decides it's time for a battery change. Ron took the battery out, back to bed. 4:11: every police car and fire truck in the city go screaming out (the fire station is 2 blocks away, the police station is 3 blocks away).
grrr

Good morning
cj, my son ended up going to the grocery store. I still need to go for other things, but at least it won't be a Sunday. I feel fortunate also. Once I stop exercising it's hard for me to get back into it.
dotren, wow what a nice gift (and good for you) Your yard sounds like mine. I have a rider, push and weed eater.
Missed my jazz class this morning. Ugh looked at the schedule wrong. Will clean my room to get in my steps.

Hello Everyone - Hope you are all doing well today DotRen - That's a nice gift for your DH, I hope he likes it. I used to do all the cutting of my yard, but it's too much for me now. I wanted to buy one of those zero turn mowers when they came out. I think they would have made cutting a lot easier than the riding lawnmower and push method I used. Sorry about your miserable night, I hope it's quieter there tonight Thanks for the photo of Murray - He's such a handsome boy I sunrose - I'm glad you didn't have to go to the store and that your DS went for you. Hope you can make the next Jazzercise class. I went grocery shopping this morning, 3 weeks since the last time. It wasn't too bad, but it sure is a miserable and exhausting experience now. Please know I'm not complaining about wearing the mask, since I think they are important - but it sure is hard to breathe through that especially now that it's so hot and humid. Take care everyone!

Hi all. Murray is a lab isn't he my favorite dog. I am scared to use the Health Rider. my knee and down my limb. I decided to retire and not try to go to school. I just want to lose weight. i just ordered from Amazon a rice cooker. I want to make brown rice. and make vegetables with it. This Thursday I will buy brown rice. You can put as much as 4 cups uncooked brown rice and it makes 8 cups. But it comes with a special cup to use. Not a regular cup. I makes minimum I of the special cup. you put the rice in and pour water up to the measure. I am getting it July 3 or 4th. Meanwhile I am eating chili man chili 30 oz. 2 cans 4 cups a day. When I get the rice cooker i will just have 1 can of chili. Brown iuce cooks in 1.5 hours.

amyrs, he's mostly Lab He doesn't have the sweet temperment that labs are supposed to have, he's kind of a jerk lol. The rice cookers cups are around 3/4 of a cup, not a full cup, so it can be confusing. cj59, Ron would love a zero-turn, but not the $4000+ price tag for our size yard. The one I ordered has a 30" deck, so it's a small one with a good turn radius and more fit to our yard. I bought him one years ago with a 46" deck and we took it back, it was too big.

amrys - I hope you like using the rice cooker. I see a lot of people say they use them and also those instant pots. DotRen - My father and I used to go to the hardware stores looking at lawnmowers, it's a nice memory I have of spending time with him I hope the 30 inch deck will work for your DH. Hope everyone is doing well, staying safe, and staying cool

I canceled the rice cooker to buy a portable DVD coming tomorrow to play WATP. I lost 1.8 pounds over night. My player has no sound and there is no way to change that. I will get the player tomorrow. I got new DVDs.

Good afternoon
dotren, Murray is handsome ;-) I don't know how to post pictures (I would share my Maddie). My first lab was yellow and he was a little funny.
cj, I finally went to the store yesterday. I needed too many things. It was not bad.
irisinnia, good to see you.
Amy, enjoy retirement ;-)
Waving to all
I'm still hanging in there.

Ok so haha. Got the lawnmower - sort of - today. It was supposed to be yesterday. I checked to make sure of the time window I had selected on Thursday evening and saw that it was on backorder with no estimation date! So I called home depot and got the loop of automated answers, hung up and called the local one. The young man I spoke to was very helpful, and also annoyed that neither they or I was notified that it wasn't being delivered Friday as scheduled. He found one at a store about 30 miles away and had them deliver it today. They were supposed to call 30 minutes before they showed up (they didn't); they were supposed to start it and show the general features (they didn't); they were supposed to have a signature (they didn't); and it's missing the mulching kit, the manual and no receipt! So I called the local store, they said I needed to call the store that sent it - so I did and I got "well you need to bring it in" (me: no - I had it delivered for a reason, you're an hours drive away, it weighs 400 pounds and it won't fit in my car ); "you need to talk to your store" (I already did, they said call you because it's either on the truck still or in your warehouse); So anyway I said "look, just credit me the $80 for the mulching kit and I'll order it separately"- said they can't do that... I'm not happy. This is the 2nd delivery from home depot that has been a mess. First time was a mattress that was over a month late getting delivered, and I kept getting the run-around "oh we tried to contact you" crap.
grr.
But it's here, it works, I ordered the mulch kit off amazon for about 1/2 the cost and I told Ron just keep the one they may/may not send in case we need it. I'm going to call the main office Monday and tell them to credit me the $$ for the mulching kit, tell them everything else that was wrong as well.

Oh yeah and: So Murray's cultures came back: staphylococcus pseudintermedius; Pantoea sp; Bacillus sp ; A month of rifampin and 3k mg of cephalexin for 2 weeks.
The bacillus is just an "environmental" one that really nothing can be done about, just bathing and keeping an eye on it if it flairs up.

Good morning
dotren, good grief! I remember years ago my cousin having issues with Home Depot on an order. She was not happy. Is Ron happy with it?
I'll check later (hope Murray does well with the meds)
