The Coffee House

I didn't even realize I wasn't posting in this thread. A little over 6 hours today.
Cleaned up after the milk man who made quite a mess. Built an office chair.
Not even really sure where 6 hours came from. Bought a box of pennies to replace the one I sold to Susan. Gonna hit the Post office and then get my check.

You still have a milk man?! not a bad idea, I do ordering for a lot of things these days, even ice cream. Dry ice is a wonderful thing.

Eww, having one eyelash glued on at a time, no no no no no! lol Not for me is all I can say. I don't think I even know anybody that goes to a spa. Anyway if someone may have had pinkeye and didn't realize it I suppose a spa/salon could be a place where something contagious like that could go around. I think people/kids can have pinkeye and not realize at first what it is, think it's because of having a cold or whatever. Til they wake up next morning with bunny eyes.

I would think maybe smaller towns without a huge grocery store still has a milk man?
@davidharmier60 Where are you located?

 

[davidharmier60]

I thought I had mentioned it plenty of times. Small town of Shepherd, TX on 59/69 approx 46 miles from beltway 8 in Houston.
It is a big box truck from Hiland dairy. It used to be a black guy who took forever and ALWAYS parked where I couldn't get the floor machine outside to clean it out.
Now it's a heavyset Hispanic guy who gets in and out quicker and parks better. But his feet, the wheels on his dolly etc. made a freaking mess where he stopped to stock.
A mop and some strong spray soap got it. When I went to our bank to turn in dime rolls I traded two of them for Lommis marked rolls. They weren't any better than the ones from the second bank. The penny box I got at the second bank has some all copper rolls. 79, 81 etc. But I have other rolls to get fills from.

I will bet this is mostly info you didn't need....

On the same vein of information people don't need ... it has turned into a very pleasant day here @ 75F. Mary Lou and Gary have a retirement celebration at 3:00 p.m. to attend then having guests for the basketball game. Gary just finished setting up the Sous Vide for another round of BBQ pork. This time a pork loin, the last time it was a pork shoulder. It will be done some time tomorrow. This time he seared prior to insertion into the Sous Vide and a lot less herbs but more BBQ sauce. Tomorrow Gary will make more BBQ sauce as he is getting thin on the sauce. See Ya.

Wishing you both a speedy recovery. So the pneumonia shots don't last? That is on my list to get and the shingles vaccine

Apparently not for all strains, even though it's in both lungs this time, it isn't far along. Caught it early enough to get rid of it. I've had the shingles - really bad - on the right torso, just under the arm all the way to waist around to the center of the back and around the front to the belly button. The first two weeks, I thought I'd die, the second two weeks, I wished I'd die, and the final two weeks I wasn't quite sure if and when the DW was going to put me out of my misery. It felt like someone was continuously ripping off skin. Took 6 months before I fully recovered. Since had the shingles shot as well.

My uncle suffered with shingles for over many years. He had permanent damage that was painful yet nothing on the skin. Sorry you had to endure the pain.

They are long and put on individually. One lash at a time. They do make her eyes pop.

Yikes hope she gets over it quickly as that's a bad place for infections. Odd this morning on the local news there was a younger girl we hadn't seen before that had those and must not have been able to afford every lash. Looked really weird. DW said they were extensions.

I don't do ANYTHING to enhance my eyelids. But I get the odd hair in an eyeball now and then.

My box o' goodies & gourmet groceries arrived, the drunken goat cheese I ordered is here. A drunken goat doesn't come with it.

Can you imagine the fun a drunken fainting goat would be?

I don't know exactly what they do at a salon/spa when they do eyelashes. And I don't really want to know, I don't even like the thought of it. All I remember is those strip thingies Leo mentioned! lol The most I do is a little mascara if I'm going someplace mascara worthy, which isn't often. With this respiratory stuff, forget it.

edit - My box o' goodies & gourmet groceries arrived, the drunken goat cheese I ordered is here. A drunken goat doesn't come with it.

Gary doesn't know if it would be easier or harder to milk a goat which is drunk.

It would be fun to bar hop with your goat ... but you can't go to sports bars because every time a team scores the goat would pass out. Every time the goat passes out the barkeep would cut you off.

Buenos Dias Coffee Hosers. 64F presently, but should get well into the 70's today. Yesterday was busy for all, especially Miss Maggie. She met two new friends on our morning stroll, Dixie and Boficious, (Bo for short). Both were pound pooches. Dixie had socialization troubles and would rather be left alone, she was sweet but terribly insecure. But Bo was all about fun and running and wrestling and chasing balls and Frisbees. Maggie ran her little legs off with Bo. Interestingly, she and her BFF Max are at this level of trust and hard wrestling play. Gary has noticed when socializing with a new friend, Maggie starts at at a different, lower and less severe level of play and over time work up to her max level. After a spell, Maggie and Bo were pretty much at her max play level. Both Dixie and Bo were mutts. The 75 pound Dixie had German Shepard and something else and 60 pound Bo had ... mmmhhh ... something else and something else. Maggie comes in at 35 pounds, but she has never backed down from hard contact with larger dogs. But with smaller dogs and children she plays much differently, much less contact and lower energy levels.

In the afternoon, Mary Lou and Gary attended a retirement celebration which ended in time for the game. No time to cook, so Gary picked up Chinese, a few people brought 'pot luck' and we watched the game in the patio sipping and some great wines and coffee with dessert. Max, the Goldie, came and Maggie went into attack mode and the dogs ran and ran around the backyard having a great time and a another source of entertainment. Tonight is a play, Borderland, in Pasadena.

One of my student's brother was drafted by the Pittsburgh Pirates yesterday. He threw 37 consecutive scoreless innings (of 44 innings pitched), had back to back no hitters (giving up a hit with an out left in the third game), and struck out 98 batters this year as a HS senior. His fastball touches 95 and is a consistent 92-93, and I guess his breaking ball is good too. He was offered a 500k signing bonus to head to rookie ball and skip his D1 scholarship to UConn. What a crazy decision to make for an 18 year old.

It's been said it ain't bragging if you can do it. 5.19 hours today and 20.44 for the week so far. Went over to Cold Spring for propane. Post office and then the box at the front of the neighborhood and then home.

My wife had shingles at the ripe old age of 28. As for someone continuously ripping off skin, that's what my wife said, as well.

And, we're all pretty sick on here, aren't we? I woke up today with a fever above 102, chills, nausea, headache, etc. UGH. We were supposed to be going camping this weekend, but if I feel like this tomorrow, not sure I'll be able to go. Hoping it gets better at least to the point where I can move without feeling like my head is going to explode.
