D-League

Does not count when they come out of this bag.

My wife is retired from Frito-Lay. Used to be a great place to work. She retired just in time. Benefits for employees started to be taken away soon after she retired.
 
CBS channels to include sports online. $6.99 a month. I can take a month of it. ;)
My wife put BVH (Blerd Vision Hosting) on our firestick at about $21.00 a month for 3 connections (BIL and MIL have one of them). Half of that is movie channels and just movies. You can pay for just regular stations without movies for about half the price. It started out freezing at times in the beginning but of late works really well. It has tons of movies, all of the major stations in from major cities around the U.S. and international. All of the sports networks. I can watch all of the major stations from any state. Last year I watched Reds games from stations in Cincinnati. Do a little research on BVH and decide if you want to try it. You get every channel and would not miss a game no matter where you are.
 
I will take your word on it Sir and not doubt you. (Won't partake though I guess I had some shrimp gizzards previously and will again.)

Some suppers I have had lately since my last pics... (Been nearly living at my computers this last week.)

This evenings supper...

My last batch of biscuits this past weekend...(Always have to throw in my biscuits. Sharp cheddar cheese generously sprinkled in. About a good full hand full.) Getting very soft now to where my Darling likes them a lot.

Another cake my Darling made this past Friday. My Darling was invited to a lady's home with a group of her friends. Got there around 10AM and ended up back home around 7:30PM they had a fun day jabber-jawing.

My Darling made this for the occasion: Steamed Rice flour cake with mugwort. A native plentiful species of plant I am sure many here know about but maybe not used like this. (Some sort of bean steamed in too but not sure the type. I DO like it though.)

HA, and my weight is actually going back down since I quit snacking...again.
If I ever come your way to visit and there is not food like that waiting for me, I will eat your liver (gizzard) with fava beans.

Thanks a ton! I will check that out tomorrow. May do that too. Thanks again! (I was going to wait until Thursday anyway. ;))
 
Used to LOVE gizzards. Loved em. Then a friend and I were so broke and both of us in between apartment leases for 2 weeks in college. That's all we ate. Gizzards, corn bread, and apple cider. For almost 2 weeks. ...and not GOOD cornbread. Just jiffy out of the box with whatever the cheapest thing was to mix it with. Usually overcooked...

I remember the last time we cooked em. 11 days in. Neither one of us could eat a bite. Just set em aside and forgot about em. Finally gave in and went home for a weekend. Non-stop, cheap ham sandwiches for 3-5 days will cure you of most food snob issues, but I still couldn't eat gizzards again. Can't eat ham anymore either but that's another story.

Miserable 2 weeks. Need to see if I can eat them again. The idea is finally appealing to me again, so it might be time

Your apatite is lying to you. Trust me...

Do you know if Fox live is on that app? Fox is about all my wife watches.

I just did a quick check and saw this notice:

IMPORTANT UPDATE: The official Blerd Vision website is no longer accepting new customers (blerdvisionhosting.com) and it’s uncertain if this will change.

Sir, I was a to die for chip and cracker type person. Give me a bag of Better Made potato chips and I was good. The family size mind you.

About my favorite chip in the world was the Doritos Taco flavored tortilla chips. By the bags full. Not those sampler bags most people put with their kids lunch either...(I'd still eat the Taco chips but I cannot find them anywhere. They had them up until recently here but I'd fill a small bowl (About coffee cup size) and put the bag away.

I thought that company was going down when they stopped making that chip. I guess I was right it's sad to say...

I read yesterday that Doritos are going to be putting in 5 fewer chips in a bag rather than raise their prices.

...and don't yall laugh at my gizzards story, neither.
I had at least two psychological response syndromes of nausea events after substance ingestion. An Old Crow once kicked my my ass so bad it gagged me for at least 4 months, I was 18 OK. Seemed like forever. I never did get along with ketchup after a youthful ketchup/scrambled egg l tossed but it was much more of a yuck thing than gag event like the bird of death. Today I'm fine and spoil myself. I like dino eggs, wings and especially gizzards. Today I fear no old crow. I only fear little old ladies in tennis shoes with canes.

Skeeter brought this to Mind

I can read this. On my IPhone.

I do not doubt that Sir. I like eating mixed nuts but I like buying mixed nuts without peanuts. I eat the peanuts too but like them alone. Anyway I thought I had a good deal at the commissary this last trip and found a jar for 10 dollars and something while Walmart and Costco had them for 15 dollars. Yeah that was comparing a 35 ounce jar to a 20 ounce jar or so....
 
Good morning from ATX. Currently 58°F and clear with a light wind. Today's high expected at around 76°F. Fire danger to our northwest.

Plan on filling out brackets tonight. I think Cats look good going into Final Four, but ya never know.

Keeping it short this morning.

Wishing happiness and health for all our fellow D-League members.

Good morning D-League. Well, today's the day -- heading back to my offices in the Penn Quarter section of downtown D.C. Heading out to get on the subway for the first time in almost exactly two years in a little while.

To say I ain't happy to be rejoining the commuting rat race is a massive understatement. Working from home for two years has been a blessing -- and it has worked out well in terms of production and work quality. But bureaucrats of the type who inevitably end up running organizations can never see things like that. To them, process - moving toward a centralized organization with more meetings and memos and conferences - is always the goal.

Things are good otherwise. My son is in for a visit during UK's spring break so I have two kids back under my roof which feels good. I hope it is a good day for all of you.
 
We're car shopping for my wife and this is probably the worst time in history for such an endeavor.
I listen to morning radio, which I am doing right now. Two men were discussing gas prices and one said he found a station that sells it for $3.89. They were rejoicing. The other one said President Biden has been working hard and battling the oil companies and Russia to get the prices lower. He said this is proof President Biden is the man America needs at this moment. CLICK AND STATION CHANGE.

How can people be this stupid and brain dead. Biden doesn't even know what the price of gas is.
 
Good morning, D-League!

Feeling under the weather just in time for a couple nice weather days. Hope what I got doesn't hit your family, and that you have a stellar day!

God is good! I don't deserve his blessings, but He faithfully gives them

Yeah amazing how quickly $1.87 and less gas was available and abundantly so. So now magically $3.89 is the "blessing" to shoot for... Yeah, fake news is still in charge.

Oh, Good Morning all,...
 
Our weather this morning gives us light rain and a temperature of 64°. The rain will stop around 9:45 AM as we head up to 84°.

Lots of baseball talk around here this morning. Pasco County is building a state of the art baseball spring training complex near Wesley Chapel, off of I-75. They may be targeting the TB Rays who currently train in Port Charlotte.

The growth in that area is off of the charts and the housing market is crazy. I am thankful I have a house paid for and both vehicles. In fact I am totally free of debt which is a blessing in this world. I have no idea where we are headed but my Lord does.

On top of rising gas prices the cost of cars has skyrocketed. Auto makers can't get the chips due to supply chain problems and other issues. I took my Dad to his Cadillac dealer a few months ago and the lot wasn't even 1/4 full. Dealers mark-ups make buying a new car more expensive than ever. 82% of buyers are paying more than the MSRP, way more in most cases. Kia for example is marking their cars up on average of 3K. Used cars prices are up 40%!

Not a great time to be looking for a car especially for my wife who only drives on average 2,500 miles per year. I can't see forking out a ton of cash for that little driving.

Yes Sir, debt is bad. If you can stay away from it, stay away. I have debt but I am thankful I can pay it off if I decided to do that. 2.25% interest gave me some pause. Trying to make some dough now but not sure where to try in this beautiful B/C economy (Biden/Communist) economy... Flip a coin I guess... (Yeah not been in a good frame of mind to post... I will try keeping my posting slowed down.)

Good morning! Woke up at 1100 but I could swear it didn't feel any later than 1000. I don't guess I'm playing golf today unless it is much later this afternoon.

I've got brackets to fill out today for my wife and I. The names are so small on there I can hardly read them. I need an assistant. Since I can do 3 of them, I'm going to do one chalk, one with a few upsets, and one that knocks out most of the Big10 in the first weekend and plenty of other upsets. The way the scoring system works, getting the final 4 and on right, pretty much assures a win.
 
EDIT: Just kidding, I wouldn't feed that stuff to my daughter's cat

I would Sir (Just not to your daughters cat.) the only Cats I ever liked was Sylvester (Not the one with Tweety)(We had a cat that looked just like Sylvester in the cartoon. He tried to bark anyway.) and the Kentucky Wildcats.... Mostly because they don't, bark!
