LOL .... now how did I know what #26 said before I went back to check it?

Good morning, Friend. :)

I hate it when there are bugs in new stuff.
I get frustrated.
Recently we have been getting calls from the alarm company
about an hour after we set it.
The motion detector in the hall alerts them to a motion.
Finally got a tech yesterday that told me how to bypass that sensor.
It supposedly has been set at test mode for 18 months.
We cannot reach it without a step ladder,
so we will bypass it until JustJr can change it this weekend.

Have a fun Tuesday.

So, now what?

Is there an easy fix or, like most things, money to be spent to watch TV...?

[JustAmy]

;~ )

Thanks.

[JustAmy]

Thanks, DD.

I agree ... most of the answers are very logical. :)

Kids are smarter than we think.

Hope you are feeling better. Take care of yourself.

Have a happy, happy day.

Thank you and a Happy Tuesday to you, Amy!

I drove to the cable company office, and was there when they opened this morning. I may need a ‘booster’ box (or amplifier) on my cable line. A technician will be here between 2 and 4 today to set it up. (I got the last appointment available for today.) If that doesn’t work, I’ll try to get DWTS on live stream on my computer. I already tried to get FNC live stream but can’t find the right link.

Oh well - we live in a world of ‘high tech’ and we probably should all follow the “Amish” way. (Or the “Teenie” way.) No TV and we can still survive! LOL!

Queen Ester played a major role in this turn of events. . God works in wonderous ways his judgments to perform.

As humans we like to know and fore see events coming toward us. Ester saved a whole people as a result of her action. Yet she had to be brave enough to put herslf in a position where she might be killed.

Amazing Ester.

LORD, May we all be so brave when our moment to make a difference comes. In Jesus name, Amen.

My sensor kept setting off the alarm, too. The technician found a tiny spider near it - and that is what set it off. They reset it, and then a little moth flew in front of it - and there it went again. I wish they could set those things to only go off if something that weighed 100 lbs or more (and over 5’4”) moved in front of it. LOL!

Thank you for the sweet graphic, Amy!

My favorite again, Teenie! “Gratituesday”! Hope you are having a wonderful day, full of thankfulness for all our blessings!

Hi Jaycee!

I had my hair done today too. It makes me feel better, looking better..

[JustAmy]

This stuff makes no sense to me. If it was set on test since it was installed about 18 months ago, why is it just now going off.

For the past three weeks, if we are only going to be gone for half hour or so, I have not set the alarm. If we are going to be gone for an hour or more, I start anticipating a phone call between 45 minutes and an hour.

I used old graphics today. They were made by St.Louie several years ago. I had forgotten some of them.

Yep, I am OK on every meat but beef. Dairy takes out a lot of foods, ice cream, butter, cow’s milk,yogurt, anything with milk ingredients on the label. But I have found coconut milk and coconut milk ice cream.

It took months to figure out what I can eat. Recently I found a bread mix I can make. The flour is made of garbanzo beans, the only bean I can eat. I subbed coconut milk for milk, coconut oil for butter and egg replacer powder for egg in the bread mix recipe and it turned out great. I hadn’t eaten bread for a long time and it’s nice to be able to make a sandwich again. I sliced the bread and froze it so I can take out a slice at a time and not waste any of it.

I didn’t make other baked goods for a long time either until I figured out those replacements for butter and eggs and flour. I have a special flour I can use called Domata Living Flour, made out of rice flour, corn starch,and tapioca.

I make my own spagetti sauce because every store brand has garlic. I found pastas made of brown rice or corn flour.

I eat a lot of brown rice. Potatoes and most veggies are still OK.

Thank goodness for bacon! Adds nice flavor to lots of stuff like turkey burgers, rice dishes and german potato salad.

All the allergy eye symptoms are gone and the weight loss has been so easy. From what I’ve read, eating allergic foods causes weight gain. As soon as I stopped eating those foods, the pounds came off fast. My rings that used to fit are too loose. Not that I’m sorry! I am just happy to feel better. I sleep a lot better too.

Anyone who is interested in the test I had done I will add the link to the webpage. I found out about this test from my sister who had it done 2 years ago. She is allergic to all the things I am.

The lab that does this test, is in the back of most of Suzanne Sommer’s health books. It is Meridian Valley Labs in Washington State.

You have blood drawn locally and it is overnighted to Washington state, near Seattle. The whole thing cost $257 and saved me from a slow and unhappy decline.

People who feel great and have a normal weight don’t need to worry about this, but anyone feeling lethargic, fatigued, fat, insomnia problems, perhaps tired watery eyes, might want to consider seeing what foods might be bothering them.

I’ve read that half the population is allergic to cow’s milk. Most just don’t know it.

The most common foods that bother people are anything made with cow’s milk, gluten (wheat, rye, barley), and eggs.

Other stuff is not as likely but I had many of them.

The weblink will show the 200 foods I was tested for.
I had the Combo Test done, which combines the “basic” and the “extended” foods lists. At the bottom of the page it has links for both of those lists of foods.

HAPPY TUESDAY TO AMY’S PLACE!

There is a story behind this picture.

Always known as a photographer who would take almost any chance if it meant getting the picture, Gene Smith’s good luck throughout the Pacific deserted him on May 23, 1945. While on the east coast of Okinawa photographing an essay titled "A Day in the Life of a Front Line Soldier," he was seriously wounded by a Japanese shell fragment. The missile hit him in the head cutting both cheeks, injuring his tongue and knocking out several teeth. Characteristically, he was taking pictures at the time and the fragment passed through his left hand before entering his cheek just below the eye and near the nose. His comment in the hospital later: "I forgot to duck but I got a wonderful shot of those who did... my policy of standing up when the others are down finally caught up with me."

Ernie Pyle, another great war correspondent, who was on Okinawa with Smith and was not so lucky, wrote of him, "Gene Smith is an idealist, trying to do great good with his work but it will either break him or kill him."

Smith’s war wounds cost him two painful years of hospitalization and plastic surgery. During these years he took no pictures and whether he would ever be able to return to photography was doubtful. Then one day, during his period of convalescence, Smith took a walk with his two children and even though it was still intensely painful for him to operate a camera, came back with one of the most famous photographs of all time: "A Walk to Paradise Garden." This memorable image was to serve as the final picture in the famous "Family of Man" Exhibition.

Lamh Foistenach Abu!
