What are you doing today?

[hollydolly]

Not long back from Aldi to stock up on Milk, I always buy it in bulk and it's 1/2 the price there than it is in the regular supermarket .... it was strange to be in there at the time most people have just picked their kids up from school, and they're running riot, but because the schools are closed ... absolutely blissful silence.. no screaming kids..

 

[Pappy]

Got up early to go for a fasting blood work. Then we went to “Izzy’s” for a nice breakfast. Biscuits and gravy, home fries and two eggs just the way I like them. No doubt will stay in today. Temps could be near 100 degrees.

Woke to 54* morning! Presently cloudy 73. Yipee
Helped hubby move his backhoe to another tree removal job.
Back home grabbed up the weed whacker,,knocked down some weeds.!

Fixing lunch of spaghetti & meat balls.

This is something that 'set' awhile & get better.
Hubby didn't say when he would be done.

Nice to have a cool day.

The best laid plans of mice and women! I had an appointment with my PCP today and the garage door would not open, no matter what. I told my daughter, and she said to check the "light" switches by the garage door. Sure enough. One of them controls the garage door. My new appointment is on Aug 3. The receptionist did not speak for a full minute after I told her my car was stuck in the garage. So now I know she can piss me off even when she doesn't speak. At least I got another appointment for Aug 3.

The dog didn't know I was messing around getting the garage door to open. He came to me a few minutes after because it was urgent that he go into the garage. He sniffed the driver's door and walked around the car. Poor thing was looking for my daughter, who is living in CA since Sat. He has spent a ton of time from Sat-Mon lying on her bed. Totally out of character for him to be in any room by himself.

Chores beckon! I'm trying to ignore them, but I have to move soon. Usually I wait until the last possible time to get ready to move or to travel. I'm not going to do that any more because it is too stressful because I underestimate the time I'll need. All I have to do is put the flat boxes into actual boxes, and I'll be involved in a Project -- and fully engaged until it is done.

When I got home from work I did a quick watering of most of the flowers and of the new grass seed. Now I'm in because it's too hot to be out.

Very productive afternoon...snoozed without really napping, played solitaire for a while, did a few little housekeeping chores, brushed Maggiecat. Now what?

@hollydolly 'Splain me, please about buying milk in bulk. Does it come in bags like in Canada? And how do you store it?

@katlupe Nix on the idea of the stairs! Absolutely not! Don't make me come up there...

Nope it comes in 1 ltr cartons ( 2.2 pints) 55p per carton , that don't need to be refrigerated, and with a long use by date , so I buy in bulk , usually about 20 cartons and store in the Barn..they last me probably 6 weeks

I used to buy this milk for my mother during winters in case she couldn't get out to shop @hollydolly. I bought it for myself a few times. Tasted as good as refrigerated.

Have never heard in my life about milk that doesn’t need to be refrigerated……is it real milk or make believe milk..

absolutely real milk..

Like chilled milk, long life or UHT milk is a rich source of essential nutrients and provides the same great health benefits. UHT (ultra heat treatment) milk contains the same nutrients as chilled milk - calcium, phosphorus, potassium, riboflavin, zinc, vitamins A and B12, magnesium, carbohydrate and protein.
The name "long-life milk" is used to describe milk that's been treated in special ways to help it last longer outside a refrigerator or cooled environment. Long life milk benefits are the same as any other type of milk, as it contains the same essential nutrients.

But does it come from a cow ? .

Really Micka! It's been out for decades. I used to buy Parmalat, as a back up when I drank cows milk. It's real milk. Read about it here: https://parmalatmilk.com/ Then there was the soy milk that didn't need refrigeration until opened. Now that I'm drinking almond milk, I keep Kirkland (Costco) brand, 6 quarts per case, in the house. Good thing I do because sometimes the supermarket nearest me runs out of the vanilla almond milk that I like which requires immediate refrigeration. @hollydolly

 

[Patricia]

we have a celebrity beautician.. she has never had any kind of work done on her face.. no botox, no fillers, no eye lifts.. absolutely nothing... she just uses her own skin care routine and has done for as long as I can remember.. decades in fact ..

She's almost 60...

I'm all for people taking the best possible care of themselves physically, but in a natural way.

 

[OneEyedDiva]

No doing much of anything today. Took a long impromptu nap this morning and woke up when my son got home from work about 1:45. He picked up a small order from Walmart for me so it took only a few minutes to put that stuff away. I heated up a portion of my Michael Angelo's eggplant parm for lunch. I intend to start my exercise program again today with my mini peddler. I also intended to do some practicing (piano) and going through more papers to take to the shredder man but I'm feeling awfully lazy right now.

 

[hollydolly]

Long-life milk, is fresh cow's milk that has been treated with a process called UHF (ultra-high-frequency) to prevent the milk from going bad.

 

[katlupe]

Who is your landlord? The State of NY? @katlupe

Conifer Realty LLC based in Rochester. I don't personally know them.

 

[katlupe]

@katlupe What floor are you on?

2nd floor but have to go down to the lower level floor to use the ramp. Don't worry I am not going on the stairs. I will take a chance on the elevator. Seems like everybody else is using it as usual. Though the elevator guy was here today. I don't know if anything has changed on it or not. I heard people using it all day. Have to overcome my fear of it.

Really……maybe I’m stuck out in the cabbage too much……not up with things…..……have tried many soy, almond, type beverages……don’t like them at all……think maybe I’ll just stay in my cabbage patch and drink my skim milk which I love, with best before dates, usually for 2 weeks.

There are cons to soy.

You can have your skim milk...never liked the stuff although I did go as low as 1% milk at one point. Here's some company for you while you're in your cabbage patch (a vintage Cabbage Patch Kid).

Never liked them but I remember when they were all the rage.
