SCORE!!!!

[Monkey Face]

Now I’m off to Walgreen’s and Walmart....

[Tax-chick]

No sun here so far, but it’s looking like it might clear up to the east in time to sun on the cats’ beds.

[Tax-chick]

Good luck at the stores!

Just read an item in the Telegraph about the Thames flood barriers bein deployed. Impressive feat of engineering.

Good luck to all in the flood plain.

"No, just yellow mustard. It has a nutrient in it or something."

It's probably the vinegar. You're soaking in it, (advice from Madge).

Some people put vinegar in their bath. I might try that some day.

[Monkey Face]

No one in either place to impede my shopping. Haha! Mike at Walgreen’s was very nice for so early in the day, but he will be off at 0800. He only had 118 prescriptions to fill!

And Walmart was a breezy walk through, with my favorite checker, so it took me a little more than 30 minutes to go to both places. YAY!

[Covenantor]

I was thinking the acetic acid of the vinegar contributed....

Dietary acetic acid reduces serum cholesterol and triacylglycerols in rats fed a cholesterol-rich diet

They do not address the issue of pretzel toes. The big soft pretzels just seem to go well with mustard, at least at county fairs.

Baby! Take one of these for the answer to life , the universe, world peace and everything.

If your head doesn’t explode frm the cuteness first.

Mine just did.

p.s. 16 degrees here. With my cold I feel like I’m somewhere tropical.

Big kitteh lion on bing today with trivia.

[Monkey Face]

Good morning, Gefn!

It’s good to see you in the morning lineup, again! *hug*

Have a cuppa with me and enjoy the morning. Right now, I’m having coffee, but I will have some tea in a little while.

[Tax-chick]

Good morning again. We’re still cleaning up from the sudden attack of Sickness last night. Much has been disinfected, but there are two more loads of laundry. Hopefully anyone else who gets it will reach the bathroom or a bucket in time. I expect it to hit Pat, who has always been rather weakly, but Vlad has an advanced immune system and could be a plague doctor, if they’re ever needed again.

On the plus side, the new medication we got yesterday for Sally’s sleep disorder seems to be helping. She got up this morning before 9:00, without being called, and seems much more energetic and alert than usual. (”Why is there a mop bucket in our room?”) Raucous round of applause for the sharp and stylish Dr. Coleman!!!

[Tax-chick]

I don’t have a cholesterol-rich diet, unless spinach has cholesterol. However, I’m crazy about soft pretzels with yellow mustard. I think it’s genetic: OldTax-lady is from Philadelphia.

[Monkey Face]

It has been so long since I have had the flu or any other related disease, that I don’t know how to react to your current epidemic. I feel bad for you all, and that’s the truth!

I’m glad to hear that the new med helped Sally to sleep. Perhaps the worst is over. *I hope*

[Monkey Face]

I like soft pretzels and yellow mustard, too, but I never had one until I met Busdaddy. He also introduced me to chilidogs. :o] Them are also likeable! :o]

[Tax-chick]

I almost never get these things, fortunately, since I have to take care of all the people who do.

[Monkey Face]

I can only remember having the flu twice in my entire life, and the second time, I lost 11 pounds. I could stand to lose that much again, but not with that method!

[Tax-chick]

It’s much better to not be sick. I can’t finish vacuuming upstairs because the cats are napping!

The Barrier is down again now, it was up just for the tidal surge.
They only raise it when there is a serious risk of the City centre flooding.
It is currently a fine balance between the incoming high tide and a flood from the river flow. Due to the way the flow is controlled on the Thames the water can be held back along the entire length of the river to prevent problems.
The Barrier is raised several times a year, it is a well rehearsed drill. :)

Goal!
Try!
Touchdown!
Home run!
6!
