kochleffel Posted September 3, 2022 #51 Share Posted September 3, 2022 I’m to fly home tomorrow on KLM and Delta, and the latter wants me to upload various documents to something called FlyReady. But the site won’t load, NONE of the documents is actually required for my travel, and one of them seems not even to exist. They also want me to check in online, which isn’t going to work…. 6 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You will probably not be surprised when I admit that is not our back yard. To people not familiar with the area, white picket fences are not particularly popular in Diamond Bar. Mrs. XBGuy sent the joke to me. We do have to interlopers at our hummingbird feeder, but nothing that big.

I guess marketing is trying to reshape their image. I will always know it as the Redneck Riviera. You will get a free chair and umbrella at beach if you tell them, RNB sent you. What’s this world coming too. Just found out the Eskimo Pie was renamed. Please don’t change the name of a Moon Pie! 4 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1ANGELCAT Posted September 3, 2022 #61 Share Posted September 3, 2022 Good sunny afternoon. Well , since it’s a holiday weekend it must be time for the appliance curse to strike. My 8 month old microwave died this morning, tried to get thru to the warranty company and had to listen to 3 sales pitches for nothing related to a warranty issue and no way to speak with a human. Not worth the aggravation for 200.00. Already taken to recycling center. Target had a new one on sale for 80.00 On a brighter note, went to Bird in Hand Fire Company for takeout Chicken BBQ dinners. It smells so good. Blessings and prayers to all on our lists. ❤️🤞 @grapau27Bon Voyage wishes are in order I assume from the lunch picture.🎉 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are Inuits,” for which I replied what do you call an Eskimo Pie?” 🤪. Well, I be dogged, the company had changed the name. 3 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our guide in Aarhus today ventured into a delicate topic today when she tried to explain why no homeless people or beggars are seen on the streets there—except Greenlanders, who are Inuit. Her explanation was that police roust everyone else, but tolerate Greenlanders because Danes (guide was a Hungarian immigrant to Denmark) feel guilty about having introduced alcohol to Greenland. I have only been panhandled once in Denmark, in Copenhagen, not by a Greenlander. I had just left the dentist and wasn’t sympathetic. 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare rafinmd Posted September 3, 2022 #65 Share Posted September 3, 2022 (edited) There are 4 days in September for which I do not have a sunrise, including today and tomorrow. I decided I would go all out to get one and headed off to my local parking garage. It turned out to be cloudy but I pressed on. Near the end of my walk the sun started to appear through the first break in the clouds. The real thing was somewhat better than what the camera shows, but I'm posting it because my bull headedness won out over common sense.

JazzyV Posted September 3, 2022 #66 Share Posted September 3, 2022 Good afternoon. Thanks for the Fleet Report/Daily @richwmn. I like cinema, although I rarely go anymore. I've tailgated once or twice for football, but usually just watch games on TV as ticket prices are outrageous. I like skyscrapers, but not the ones with clear glass floor observation areas where you can look down! True quote. I like the meal, but without pesto (not a fan). Pass on the drink and wine. I haven't been to Mendelo. Thanks for the photos. It's partly sunny and 80 here, but humid. I wanted to get the lawn mowed this AM, due to a threat of rain and also to watch the NASA Artemis launch (now scrubbed). I was dripping wet by the time I finished. Now I'm starting to deep clean the bedroom, as my new adjustable bed will come next week. I also bought a recliner yesterday, but it is being made to order and will take about 5 months due to "supply issues". @rafinmd Sad news about Captain Workman. @luvteaching My condolences on the loss of your friend Wayne. Prayers for his family and friends. @cat shepard That was an awful lunch and HAL should hear complaints about it. @aliaschief When the repair costs almost as much as a new appliance, I'd get new too. Nice pictures. @kazu I'm glad you got some help for the garden. Sorry for the other issues that popped up. @grapau27 Yummy looking dinner. @kochleffel Safe travels tomorrow. @1ANGELCAT Sorry about the microwave, but you got a great deal on a new one. Prayers for the Care List and Cheers for the Celebration List. Stay safe everyone. 15 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mamaofami Posted September 3, 2022 #69 Share Posted September 3, 2022 Good afternoon everyone. The day got away from me but at least I remembered to post, although it is late. My condo requires our dryer vent to be cleaned every couple of years. Our handyman was here today and it’s the first time since I’m living here, 9 years l,ast month, that anyone cleaned it from inside and outside. He said it was lucky we didn’t have a fire. Haven’t been sleeping well and was supposed to meet friends at the pool but was just too tired. I felt like I had hit a wall. Tomorrow is another day. We have a big Labor Day Bar BQ tomorrow night at the clubhouse. Chicken, hot dogs , hamburgers, all the fixings, salads, dessert and a live band. Stay safe everyone, Carol 14 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharon in AZ Posted September 3, 2022 #70 Share Posted September 3, 2022 Good Afternoon! I'm late today and will probably not be on for the next few days. Getting down to the wire going up the mountain and only have two more days to prepare. Today I made Chili and marinade for Chicken and washed veggies and Craig went shopping and everything is put away or frozen for our trek. Tomorrow is DM's 93rd Birthday and we are taking her to lunch. Yesterday I took her to a doctor's appointment and then to see her younger sister who is 90 and has been in the hospital and rehab for 3 months. She'll be released soon and DM has really wanted to see her. They both had tears in their eyes. They are from a family of 13 siblings and only 3 are left, all in their 90's. Amazing. There are some movies that are much better on the big screen. DH just said Hello Dolly is one of them. Jaws is another. Our neighborhood theater has retro movies and we have gone to a few. I hate, detest and avoid heights. When we were in Las Vegas we were on the 44th floor and I hated it the entire time, especially at night. I can't imagine going twice that high. I like pesto in small doses. When I buy store bought pesto I buy the Buttoni that @0106 mentioned, thank you! I keep it frozen and just use what I need each time. I do buy jarred pesto just to have it on hand. I sometimes make pesto without nuts and mix it with marinara and it's really good. This is my favorite recipe for that: https://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/michael-symon/spaghetti-with-quick-pesto-tomato-sauce-12342801 I hope everyone has a great weekend! See you soon from the mountain! 16 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I seem to do things backwards, so I'll probably be reading the book now lol. Read the book. Saw the show. The show was good, but books are always better because they have more detail. DH enjoyed the show too, but didn't read the book. 11 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well its the end of my day, so back to the tv, and catch up with the Sprint races.

cat shepard Posted September 4, 2022 #75 Share Posted September 4, 2022 Denali continued…. For the Garden Club. The flowers were everywhere around the McKinley Chalet and the wonderful eateries across from it. These marigolds were HUGE! The first 10 minutes of each hour the only park road closes to allow Dall Sheep to cross safely. Denali National Park was established to protect Dall Sheep. We saw a few of these prairie dog type critters. We didn’t seem to bother them at all. And our Grizzly Bear. Hard to find even with an arrow. But we watched him graze for at least 10 minutes. And it even stood on his hind legs and shook itself - making its fur glisten in the sun. An entire bus of adults quietly watched in awe. We had an amazing bus driver who was a dog musher and really is attempting to live off the land. She is celebrating getting an Ace Hardware within 20 miles of where she lives. I take a great deal for granted. Stay well everyone! 14 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
