What kind of cookies are you going to make Sharron?

his keto vanilla chocolate chip, he really likes the sugar free and these are also low carb, have to admit, they're good tasting

Thanks Grammy! How is your day going? I guess I ought to get dressed and go out.

The morning was pretty lazy, then off to work in the garden- finish spreading the mulch finally and then feed the animals and collect eggs.

Hi folks, I'm working on a project with Michelle and need test data badly. If you have time I would ask that each person out here create 5 users (use a name that is kindof unique to you not something like test1... )(just to pick on sour, maybe something like Sour1, sour2, etc.) and for each user create 5 breeds, please use different breed categories and don't chose the first or second breed in the list mix it up. The main form is here and there's a link after you hit submit that will take you to the breed form. I suggest copying your made up user name for the follow ons. Sorry for the painful process but that's what we get when we use free stuff.

When you fill out the first form, please select different countries/locations and change up the data. I really hope some of you will make mistakes that cause errors so I can close up those gaps.

thank you in advance. I've asked others to help me generate test data and gotten little response. With my work schedule, I have to work things when I can.

I'm just surprised that they aren't available.

Me too, I had no trouble finding many varieties of both broccoli and cabbage at the garden centers.

I have dry mouth, I drink constantly. Usually water....

Note she said USUALLY!
I guess she might drink milk the rest of the time.

I would ask that each person out here create 5 users

Create as in new BYC usernames with passwords and all or just make something up for the form?

Good of you to do this. I spent plenty of years at work trying to find the one odd combination of things that would cause a program to error out.

Still having problems with eating. I'm hungry, want to eat (I think) then feel nauseated and dump the food. The pharmacist told me to get some Pepto Bismol tablets for digestive issues. I don't see that it would work but...... he's been a good friend for many years. Our sons went through acne together.

I get every vaccine I can get from my pharmacist. It makes good sense to me -fortunately Medicare B covers most of them - or there is a small co-pay - usually not more than $ 3-4.
If I get at the doctor they charge for administering the shot plus I have to get transportation there.

Sooner or later our Township senior/disabled folks bus takes us to Target where I get my prescriptions. Thankfully they have become CVS pharmacy at Target (while keeping the same great staff). Generic prescrips are usually $1.25. When you fill 9 prescriptions they give you a $ 5. Target coupon to spend in store.(or at least our store does).

Haven't been getting many of the cps. because they changed me to 90 day supplies even tho doctor didn't prescribe that. Scary knowing the Chinese make our prescription drugs. Who ever thought that was a good idea??? USA (pres?) thought so.

I asked at pharmacy if they will still be doing shots because with the covid problem, they have to touch people (yes wearing gloves tho) and also be much closer than 6 feet away. Was told they are gearing up for flu shots. Something tells me lines will be tremendous.

I've been told staying current on flu shots can be of some value(?) in case of covid because viruses tend to have some of the same symptoms.

Just shopping at Target today there was a line of would be shoppers out to the alley. They were just letting more people IN as other shoppers walked out. Everyone wearing a mask- must wear them(when out of their home) according to our governor.

BTW as far as I know Wally World doesn't offer similar perks and wants more for generic prescriptions. Good to know all this stuff . I hear the President is gearing up to give out a second round of stimulus checks, never got one the first time. Guess I am too small for him to notice . People I know who are "well off," got $ 150. checks from him.

Wish it were in my power to keep all of us safe and healthy.

Poor DH did a phone consultation with the doctor because he needs a medical certificate for work. The doctor said that DH needed to go and get re-tested for Covid-19 because 20% of the tests come back as a false negative. It doesn't sound pleasant to have the back of your nasal cavity swabbed.

The doctor told him he has to be free of symptoms for 48 hours before returning to work and said it's most likely DH has Influenza A. He wants him off work until the end of this week.

DH is better, but not back to his usual energetic self. My husband is never cold - but at the moment he's feeling cold quite frequently.

 

[drumstick diva]

JaeG hoping your husband will be back to his usual self soon.

Whatever he has is really hanging on. My brother in law tested positive for Covid. He had 102 temp, a cough, body aches, chills and a headache. Sounds like several symptoms of Influenza A.

I'm really sorry about the eating problems, hopefully the Pepto will fix you up.

Have you had tax refunds direct deposited in the last 2 tax years? If not they will mail a check .... eventually. We owed both years but if you go to
IRS Get my payment site
you can put in your bank account info and they will direct deposit. I did it 2 weeks ago and got the money this week. You'll need to have your last filed tax return in hand as there are questions from it they use to validate that you are who you say you are.

And drugs from China? OF COURSE!! We get a TON of products from China. Why? It is called capitalism.

• How do you make your business more profitable, make more money for the stock holders and company execs? Sell more product even if it is lower quality.
• How do you do that? Lower the price.
• How do you do that? Make the product cheaper.
• How do you do that? Have it made somewhere that has super cheap labor and the people have a lower standard of living than most in the USA.
• What happens then? Most or all of the USA business making similar products either take the same path or go out of business.
• What happens then? You get a huge trade deficit.
• And what else? Nothing, the products aren't made here or anywhere else, you have to get them from China.

We had to go to that site to get our payment. It only took a week.
