@Spicoli43 I have used those before and not noticed a difference in taste. Although I don't use them often. However, after thinking about it.... it tasted kinda like carrot water lol
I just finished watching a movie on Amazon Prime "Dog" it was a good movie and unexpectedly made me cry at the end. I like military type movies, doesn't have to be war. This was supposedly a drama/comedy.... I didn't find any of it comedic however.
I emailed the report to the office of the 2nd company and await a call for when they can come and look, so we shall see how that pans out. Idk what I plan to do today, maybe nothing. I worked on the puzzle for a little bit, but the movie grabbed my attention more than the puzzle, lol.
@zannej I will post the recipe here in a bit. Hows the strength and range of motion with your shoulder? Does it hurt mostly at night? From what you have said, it reminds me of my first rotator cuff tear.
Have a great afternoon!

@zannej this is the recipe I loosely follow. I use a combination of white and portobello most of the time and I don't put wine in it because I don't like the taste it leaves behind. Super easy to make though. I use a little more garlic that suggested and even though I use onions, I still add maybe a half teaspoon of onion powder to it also.

Thanks, Shan. My range of motion with my shoulder sucks. Can't reach behind my back and can't even lift it up much to put on deodorant. It seems worse when I'm trying to sleep. If I sleep on that shoulder it hurts. If I sleep on my other side it hurts bc I can't seem to get it angled properly. Not so bad on my back, but I can't sleep on my back without waking up feeling like I can't breathe and coughing profusely. If I suddenly tense up for any reason it gets very painful all through the upper arm. My doctor said its my rotator cuff and recommended doing pendulum exercises-- which I've been doing. I use onion powder in stuff because I can't have fresh onions. Dehydrated ones don't bother my stomach but I'm allergic to fresh ones (even when cooked).
I went to Walmart to pick up RX & some groceries. Brother came along for the ride (I wanted to get him out of the house to get some fresh air) but he stayed in the truck. I got a papercut that bled while taking stuff out of the cart to scan. Shelf-checkout cashier heard me say "Ow" and asked what happened. I made sure not to touch any bags or anything with the bleeding finger. It was only a small amount of blood though. Still annoying. Went to post office afterward and got mail. Just remembered I forgot to bring the packages in.
Changed HVAC filter in the hallway. Need to check the one in my brother's room next but it usually only needs to be changed once every 2 months. Hallway one has to be changed 2x a month.

Trying not to screw things up worse
This week I've planned ribs, steak tacos, and grilled chicken over pasta, so today I grilled all three kinds of meat while the kids were at school, since it's harder to do when they're home and it looks like it's gonna rain the rest of the week. All of it came out really well.
Also for Black Friday I went on Amazon and got a larger Crockpot and food processor so now I can make things in bigger quantities that might last longer than just a day. So far I made hummus, with enough to package up and give a tub to my sister-in-law. She says it's good enough I could sell it. Later this week I'll be making chili.
(Decided to eat more meat this week because we've been eating mostly vegetarian the past month or so, and I think some of my family members need the iron.)

I said not a trace. Nuke one of those vegetable bags and empty the liquid in a glass. Then get a Mass spec test to find out what's in it.

That looks like a good recipe, Thanks... I don't understand the Wine either, but I don't ever consider that a drink either. I will use regular milk with a couple TBSP's of Cornstarch to avoid the Carrageenan and Polysorbate 80 in the Heavy Cream.
I just found out one of my coworkers house burnt down and they lost everything. It was her, her husband, her adult son, her 17 year old son, and then her 13, 10 and 7 year old grandchildren she is raising (has custody if). My heart just breaks for her. Life has been difficult enough the past few years for her without this.
The second company is going to come in the morning to take a look and give me a more realistic estimate. The "ballpark" site unseen usually more than actual cost was 15k
. He talked like there would be less sistering and just more piers (like every 6 feet) but I suppose I will find out for sure tomorrow.
My goodness gracious sakes alive, why can't things be simple and less costly.... however.... had I just done it 15 years ago, it would have been.
I guess the next thing to do after this, would be to get new gutters/fascia. I mean, I guess I could put downspouts on myself to give myself time to recover from this mess. The seems of what is hung leak and there aren't any downspouts currently. I had actually paid for that to be done but that was the contractor that took me for 5k and didn't finish anything.
Well, guess I need to go be Sally homemaker and clean the house so it is done in the morning when they come.
I think Larry is outside getting the last of the stuff loaded on his truck. That will clean up the back yard, but I still have the storage unit to get through, plus mine.....
Its really just never ending isnt it?
Is it like this when your married? I mean, I feel like I have always been the one to do the bulk of it. Thats just my opinion however.
Anywho..... have a great evening.... I'm off to be Sally Homemaker

I’m continuing working on installing new flooring in this relatively small landing, but as what happens so often, one thing leads to another and it always takes longer than it should. I decided to remove this door and the frame around it because the door was so out of square that it was ridiculous. So, after rehanging the door, I worked on cutting the bullnose off the step so I can put a new one on that matches the flooring.

Was it out of square because of the actual frame? I can't build anything to square here because of the lumber at Lowes / HD... I haven't tried the more expensive lumber places though.
Literally, 2x4's on the garage floor corner clamped and screwed together... Not even close to square. One side is at least a half inch off.
Or was the door bad / hinges?

I think because of the house settling over the past 52 years and me jacking the floor up last summer, the door jamb hinge side was about 3/8” lower than the striker side. I took the door and hinges off and raised the hinge side of the jamb as high as I could (until it hit the header) and then used a laser leveler to shim it plumb in all directions. Then I used the laser (and a tape measure) to get the jamb header and striker side plumb. I used the tape measure to ensure the opening was parallel and square. I had to carry the door outside to cut a 1/4” off the bottom so it will clear the new flooring. That door is heavy! It’s mostly glass.

I picked up a bag of onions yesterday, they seem to be the superfood for health. After purchasing white onions I find that red onions are a better choice. However, maybe I can just eat more white (or yellow) especially if red proves more expensive.

Yes, I go through 50 plus boards at Lowe's to find a few good ones... Most have chunks missing or are warped...
As far as Superfoods, there is tons of them, but I cheat... This powder is about 25% of the cost of "Balance of Nature", which is full of pesticides and is GMO...

Well, to be fair, "He", if he still identifies as a "He", is responsible for the movie "Titanic", so he hasn't had Testosterone for decades.

The foundation is fine. I had a similar problem to Shan. Here's a link to the conversation.

Eddie, I think different onions have different flavors when raw/pickled/cooked/etc. Yellow are the sweetest when sauteed, baked, or grilled, for sure. (Maybe when deep-fried too, I'm not sure.) White are my preference if I'm only cooking to translucency and still want some bite. I'd use red if they were going to be served raw (on sandwiches, diced up in potato salad, etc.) and probably then only if I'm cooking for a party.
Today I'm making chili with a larger-than-usual ratio of ground beef to beans, partly because I had way fewer dry beans than I realized and partly because of what I said earlier regarding my suspicions about my family's iron levels.
