My daughter got food poisoning from Outback. They never went back.

That's the reason I haven't been to an Olive Garden in years! I can see an off night in any kitchen, but there's no excuse to not keep food at the proper temperatures!

My Doctor when I was a kid told my Mom to put whiskey in my Sis's bottle because she had extreme colic and it would relax her and she could sleep. She also prescribed Blackberry Brandy for Montezuma's issues and brandy in tea for us.

My current Doctor, recommended the Blackberry Brandy, when hubby had a light case of food poisoning. I'm not sure food poisoning can be described as a "light" case.

I'll provide the sound. BANG!

 

[betty rose]

overuse of pesticides as usual.
just like Bees are suffering insanely.

I'll bet someone will come up with a drone pollinator.

 

[betty rose]

isnt funny that some of the most delicious food are.. the dirtiest?
shrimp are like the sea cochroaches!

Now I know why I don't like shrimp.

or just get a UPC (no break).
That way even if power goes off, you can safely power off your computer.
or get extra running time for your laptop/tablet.

Thanks for the info. We have a surge protector, and lightning rods on our house. Somehow lightning seems to get through. I'm sure hubby could explain that, as he is a retired electrical engineer. I don't want to ask. He loves to explain things very thoroughly. I once asked him to show me how to use the computer. That happened to be his minor in college. He started with " inside the computer"..I only wanted to know, if I pushed the wrong button, would I hurt the machine! I don't ask a lot of tech. questions anymore. Lesson learned.

Ha! I did the same a bit ago. Naps at this time of night not so good.

I put on the weather channel. The combination of talking and music puts me right to sleep. Does that say something about the weather channel, or me?

Got to run. A pair of shoes at DSW is calling my name. I hope they have my size!

I hope there's a good sale and you can get 2 pairs! I won't tell!

Could. I don't. Nothing in there is worth that labor and all is insured. The driveway use to be stone and absorbed much of the water or at least it went away quickly. Then our fine leaders of our Hamlet decided it would look prettier if everything was paved and concreted. We were given 3 years to comply. Now we have Lake Garage.
These properties were not developed over a half century for this. New builds have drainage plans. When we moved here the roads all had deep ditches next to the road on both sides. Then our fine leaders decided to put in curbs and storm sewers. Nobody every had water in their homes with the ditches. Water was all carried over to the preserves. It worked so they had to break it. We are fortunate, we have an ejector pit in our home where most in the area went for the substantially cheaper sump-pumps. I'm not a fan of fixing things that are not broken.

a fine example where "leaders" have no idea yet they force others to do their bidding. right?

yikes!

I WANT OOOOOOONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

I seldom get sick and when I do it's 1-3 days and gone.

showoff

 

[Cesar R M]

I want to try also but I am such a fan of Flame. Surprised they put ribs in two different venues. Wouldn't be surprised if they are the same.

perhaps, since flame tree is still unfinished If I remember correctly.

they reported a delay in the construction progress.

 

[Cesar R M]

I don't know about those. But I can tell you that average family homes in our area, don't have any sort of special safety things that would protect them from a direct lightning strike. For some odd reason, I just remember that last year I heard about many more houses getting hit by lightning, than in previous years.

someone must have angered Thor

 

[Cesar R M]

I like everyone's photos here, whether clear or green! They're all fun, and all tell a story. (I think Cesar was just trying to be helpful about your phone's camera, that's all. That's his field of work, so it's probably second nature to him to share his expertise with others.)

Good to know someone understood what I was trying to say, I felt like gabe was chastising me and frowning about my comment.

 

[Cesar R M]

I'll bet someone will come up with a drone pollinator.

Well, big companies like Monsanto are the ones winning on this.
so they can sell more of their specialised seeds.

I honestly can imagine the issues.
The earth in your area could be.. not very absorbent(aka not a good "ground" )
We had issues with a few of our houses as well.
Because all surges were sent into the CABLE company's system.
And burned one of our TVs instead of moving the discharge to the "ground" rod.
electricity will always go towards the path with less resistance.. so.. if the ground isnt..you're screwed

Yeah these 3 CMs flat out didn't care that we wanted to browse. There mission was to not shut up and hound everyone in the store, they just kept pouncing from one guest to the next. Nobody at cash register. Says something.

Yep, that stuff was pounded into us...

• Greet and re-greet. Repeat.
• You should never be behind the Box Office (register) unless you are helping Guests check out, or are attending to a necessary operational issue.
• Greet and re-greet some more, etc..

Obviously, I just used my better judgment.

Specialized seeds....equal frankenseeds....
