My son says to use a raw egg for scours. He doesn’t know why it works, but says it does. Just thought I’d pass that on.

If you had the Tyler stations and then they blacked it out since then, you might have a reason to get out of it... you specifically got Direct TV BECAUSE of availability of local stations... check the contract... better yet, call them up and complain loud and long....
Oh I will. Don’t have time this morning, got other things to do than stay on the phone forever, talking to someone not in this country.

Are the towers local? You get get one of those, what did they call them way back when, antennas?

What, they don't live here and speak with a USA regional accent of some sort? ;)

Got a call today, no idea who it was, said something about TV. Heavy Indian (I think) accent. Told him I don't have a TV, he couldn't and wouldn't believe me. I don't know what he wanted or was trying to sell or whatever, I hung up on him the 3rd time I told him we have no TV and he pressed me on it.

Like a lot of us I am of a certain age and get a lot of scammer calls. If I have a couple of minutes it’s game on with the teasing. If they get crude I hand it back. Hubs was hysterical when I replied with “I can’t do that sir, your mother is in the way.”
Generally I’m just the deaf old lady- think Emily Lutella (Saturday Night Live).

No idea. Antennas used to be some high powered gadgets, with controls to turn them for better reception. Sure beat climbing on the roof and someone inside yelling out the window when the TV signal came in with a clear picture.

It's a crisp 53 out there this morning. Rains last night, so things are wet but it smells so clean as you breathe 😁. They predicted an inch...looks like that or a touch more. Since grasses are growing and I haven't cranked the mower, I'd better slide on boots for chores. Garden got a nice watering for seeds I just planted. 👍

Thankfully my leg is functioning again ;) just a little sore from the odd gait over last two days. So back to the usual grind. Thankful for that.

Coffee is good....help yourself! I need to go check things out, do chores.

Glad your leg is better! I know a thing or two about that odd gait. LOL LOL
Son's job ended yesterday, he's pulling his RV home today. Lot rent is due Tuesday, so he is bringing it home. Sometimes he leaves it until he has another job to go to, but he doesn't have a job immediately lined up. There are two "possible" jobs, one in Iowa and one in Corpus Christi. Also one in Louisiana that he will go hire in on Monday, but it doesn't start for a few weeks. In the meantime, he might get one of the other jobs that will last for months instead of weeks.

DD and family will go to my sister's in Conroe today, I'll go get the girls to spend the night. Not much to do here for them, so we'll go back to my sister's tomorrow to dye eggs. They will leave to go home Sunday morning.

Quite cool this morning,44 but it was down to 32 up where I tested yesterday according to the weather report. Some scattered frosts... and Sunday it is supposed to drop 20 degrees and nights in the 30's for a week... We did not get any of the rain @Mini Horses got... it is dry here... the .9 inch and .5 inch don't go very far when you have that wind drying it out fast.
Sun is out. Laundry in the washer... got samples to pack.. supposed to be a nice day. Brought the spider plants in last eve... glad I did. Plants will go out on the deck in a bit after it warms up again.

Good morning. Another Cuban coffee morning for me. Hubs put the place on the market and we have a showing Sunday. Easter? Um ok. Place isnt ready but I’m guessing Prospectives will see the county’s storage tanks adjacent to us and skeedaddle. My realtor has the throw-spaghetti-see if-sticks method and will send everyone and his wife. This place is for people interested in raising animals and gardening. A good fit for the preparedness community which is how I would vet the Wanna Buys. Silly me. Speaking of vets I’m changing mine after I was told I had to schedule a pre euthanasia examination for Bailey since the vet hadn’t seen her in two years. Pandemic remember? Unless he can turn back the clock I can’t see a good reason. Bailey will join her compadres tomorrow. I’ll add a little more to her goodbye thread in a few days. Lots to do gotta blast off.
