Just need to talk to my friends (194)

Happy, Happ Birthday, Iris!!! Just baked some chocolate chunk cookies. Wish you had some of them. Iris, I bought these dawgs from Amazon several years ago. Ordered beige and got bright pink on. Enjoy your birthday es. I' e worn them almost every day. Really like them. I think they're a close cousin to crocs.

Can't remember any foot injury. Tight toed shoes is one problem. I did wear heels part of the time when I worked but not tight. My toss are like stair steps so pointed toe shoes fit fine. Something caused it though. The time it bothers me most is at night. Can't always tell cold from hot and ooccasional, brief , sharp pain in a toe.

Now we have to be worried about contaminated eggs and milk because of bird flu. Always something. Heard they had to destroy two .million chickens. One transmission of the flu from a cow, I think, to a human.Guess the bird flu transmitted to cows at a dairy. I think three or four states are involved. I have most of a dozen eggs but are old and do have frozen milk. Don't use much of either. Usually.boil 6-8 eggs for the GPs when they get a bit older but still good.

Does anyone have a good, homemade liquid for cleaning windows? Vinegar and water? All if the windows in the kitchen, living room and dining have cat and dog nose smudges.

Beth, glad your husband is able to get around with his cane. The fall was bad enough but could have been even worse. Thanks for the idea. I will do that. I use Dawn.

Another question: I eat very few eggs but like to have them just in case. Just checked mine. I have nine that I had written the date I.bought them. January 31 is the date. Did the float test. None of them floated. I'm wondering if they would be safe to eat if I wanted to. What do you all think? Can always boil them for the GPs. Did that last time and they were fine. Hesitant to.buy eggs now because of the bird flu. England's Best is one kind that was mentioned.

MMorning, Ron, it's 46 here and sunny. About out of power so will charge tablet and be back later. Everything is okay.

Judith, I think it's just to have something to do since he doesn't have his cattle to take care of. He has plenty for them and he tells me he cuts it and gives it to people who need it. He said he has lots of fallen trees and this also cleans up his ranch. He was a big farmer before he moved here and got into running cattle do wss always outside working. Just has the need to be doing something.otherwise he gets bored.

Mint, you've had a variety of weather today. Our day has been beautiful but a.bit cool. May have rain Saturday night and probably clouds for the eclipse. Supposed to be 98% here but I won't look at it except on TV. Saw one years ago when I was working.

SSorry,

Caro Lynn, haven't talked with Todd yet. Keep thinking she will call.

Yes,I was Charles' sole. Caregiver for Seven years after he was diagnosed in 2008. No relatives of mine and all of his were in Texas. Most of the time he was easy going enough. There were periods of anger but they always disappeared in a few minutes. He helped me feed til the last winter. HS would lift the feed Into the feeders and I would empty them. He always e noted going out to be with the girls and see the pastures.

He wandered or rather left the house three or four times but I or Darwin were able to get him back home. At Mike's suggestion I put locks on all of the yard gates so no more leaving after that. Caregiving is not easy but I'd do it all again in a minute. So glad I was able to do it.
