How is your day Today? Chat about your plans and achievements 2025....

Spent some time on the phone (again) with BOA trying to resolve my dispute with Wix web hosting. I think I'm going to call the company since the dispute process is going slowly. I did not have the company's number when I first opened the dispute, then I've been trying to decide whether I should call myself or have my attorney call. :unsure:

Tonight I did a quick cleaning of the floors (dry and wet Swiffering) then took out the garbage. HS#3 and I had a long, deep conversation about people who are so traumatized, broken and lacking self worth that they withdraw or choose suicide.
 

Well, it's 1 a.m. and I can't find my charge card. I've torn my wallet, purse and car apart. The last place I used it was the hardware store on Thursday and that's the last transaction showing, thank goodness. I immediately called VISA and put a temporary hold on it and I'll call Lowes bright and early tomorrow morning to see if I left it there. Keeping my fingers crossed. Then I could reactivate it instead of having to cancel it, and get a new one.

I'm usually sooo good about immediately putting it back in my wallet but I've had a couple of lapses in the last few years. It was October of last year when I lost the last one. Of course, I found it the day after I cancelled it. Figures.

Think I'm going to get any sleep tonight? I'll just lay there all night long thinking what a ding-a-ling I can be when I really put my mind to it.
 
We are off to the doctor's surgery shortly, flu jab, then we shall head on out to Salisbury, to The Hat Shop. My wife is looking for a 1920's style cloche hat and I hope to find a light blue fedora. Time permitting, we hope to get our provision weekly shop done.

Tonight we are off to Digby Hall at Sherbourne, it's a regular ballroom dance event that we enjoyed before my lady's heart surgery. Her recovery is still ongoing but the social aspect of meeting old friends and just engaging with the general ambiance of the event is good for both of us, as is, getting out of the house.

My new shirt is finally taking shape. I had another fitting and no adjustments were required. Click on this thread, and you will see how much it's looking like a shirt.
 
Storm Amy has hit with avengeance here...Very high winds... trees down....

I've just been up on the Barn roof.. trying to stick the tarp down, because it's being ripped off in pieces by the winds....

I can only reach so far on the high ladder unfortunately because I refuse to climb onto the roof. Hopefully my roof sealent will hold the tarp for now...I'l have to get a handyman in to redo the whole roof...


Have the best day you can Peeps of SF>.. 🍂 🍂 🍂

Very windy here, but I think that the west coast is getting the worst of it. My garden seems quite sheltered and really quite mild. I haven't looked too closely, but I don't think there's been any real damage done. Touch wood, the electricity and internet have stayed on.

I made chicken soup for lunch. It was something cheery for a miserable day.

As a frequent loser of credit cards, I report the card as damaged, and request overnight delivery on web page. That saves all the aggravation of losing the card, except for the mental beat down I subject myself to!!!

Good morning everyone. Cloudy this morning. Rain later today.

I am waiting for delivery from Publix but shopper is new to me and really slow.

@jujube I couldn't find my keys to the house yesterday and thought I lost them after searching my purse. Then getting home, there they were in our driveway on the ground. I must be more careful when going out. I hope you find your credit card.

Have a good day, everyone. :)
 
I've just been doing the laundry , and charging all my rechargeables.. Shark, cordless handheld Vacc'... .etc... during the 2 hour free Electricity slot today...

My timer ran out to get my dryer on for longer than 15 minutes beccause the washer took an hour and a half.... mostly I would have just carried on drying the clothes past the free time limit.. but I have another hour free tomorrow, so I'm leaving the clothes in the dryer until tomorrow.. they'll be fine..

I don't put eggs, milk or baking powder in my Dumplings.. just Self rasing flour, salt, herbs.. water... nothing else.. and my Dumplings are always huge..

Most people here in the UK add suet to the dumplings, it just makes them heavy IMO..

I do typically what you do except use baking soda and reg flour. I don't cook by recipes very much so I posted what I could find and my picture looks eggy for some reason so this recipe fit the bill.

It's pretty hard to mess up unless in Step 2 the batter gets over stirred.
