Latestarter's ramblings/musings/gripes and grumbles.

The only problem is, I consider one package one serving, they consider it four and 1/2!

We know those "Servings per container" are set to both make it look "healthier" and make the numbers come out all nice. But yeah, ONE cup of lasagna is "dinner"? Maybe if you also have a salad and other veggies on the side. There goes the "fast and easy dinner". And to have it be terrible to boot? Unthinkable.

You don't need a dozer to level dump loads of dirt, just rent a tractor with a box blade and a front end bucket.

And maybe a landscape rake for general spreading before using the box blade.

The product looks absolutely nothing like what is pictured in your TV ads.

Now THERE is a big surprise! You would think there would be some truth in advertising laws with respect to that. Buyer beware. I think that sort of thing is why bacon packages have to have a window (even if you have to open cardboard flaps) on the back. Looks like meat on the front, looks like 98% fat in the back. No sale. I check a LOT of packages and will not buy at all if they don't have a reasonable amount of lean on BOTH sides.

Hopefully you can work out a "make and freeze" plan for your "fast dinner" favorites. Besides tasting a lot better, it won't have near the sodium content.

Speaking of sodium content, you're right... mine will have substantially more, either before freezing or before eating. I'm a salt addict...

Dot got me this morning. I guess she figured it was time to demonstrate why I shouldn't get complacent while milking, & should always be on my guard and paying attention. I had already milked out one side and was about 1/2 way through the second side and she decided to stomp down hard right in the milk pail. Man was I pissed!
So I just milked her out the rest of the way onto the ground and dumped the pail on the compost heap. At least a quart of milk wasted.

Lousy night last night... cut out a wart on my shin and double bandaged it. Thought it would be OK, but bled through the bandaids and all over my sheets. Then woke up ~ 4am and couldn't get back to sleep. Went into the bathroom and obviously disturbed something living in the walls because it went scratching and moving away inside the wall. It wasn't mice, too loud and much larger. So now I have to figure out what's in the wall and how it got there. Then how I can get rid of it and make sure no others follow it's lead.

72 degrees outside now, and the yard doesn't seem "as damp" as it has been of late. I plan to get back on the mower after lunch and try and get some pasture cut. Checked the radar and very little storm movement. Really feel for those folks still getting dumped on in and around Houston. Looks like it's intensified over GB's area again as well.

cutting out your own flesh huh?

hope your day improves.

That critter could be a rat or chipmunk....we have both here, but the cats keep them at bay pretty good. Goats surely like to keep ya on your toes, and demand undivided attention....sorry ya lost the milk, it has to be rather irritating. The trac of the storm keeps changing so much, but the latest being reported here shows it coming right over us...tho we are projected to get 3-6" depending on which channel is watched....but, the whole area is under a flash flood watch til Fri evening....the worst day is suppose to be Thurs, so far....

OH boy... I don't wish Harvey on anybody!

 

[CntryBoy777]

I'll gladly take it FEM, if it means it gives ya relief...I think dealing with it for 5days is More than your share. I'm still concerned about GB and his wife....it is weighing Heavy on my mind and heart....so much could've happened with just those 2 in the boat....I know they have spunk, but at 80+ it has to be difficult.

 

[babsbag]

Is he that old? I was guessing 70

Is GB that old
I thought he was early 70s

 

[CntryBoy777]

@OneFineAcre I'm not positive, but I believe that is what he said one time.

Thanks so much! I think we've come through the worst of it. If we can survive the run-off we'll be in the clear!
