Janet, check the breakers and then check the GFI (I think thats what they are called) breakers on the individual outlets. It is the button that says 'test' on it. Not all of the outlets have it, but the kitchen & bathrooms usually do have them, they are usually red and yellow.

Tired last night, went to bed at 9:30 slept hard and woke up fairly rested.

Got my grade for my masters project and for this years program...A's whowho. This summer and next year we are studying earth science, so that should help my classes.

Need to sit down and get my lisence renewed, then get some paperwork done for my masters program.

Only 5 1/2 mor days of school.

Has anyone heard from Jackie about how Courtney is doing? (I think I have that right)

Phyl, are you feeling better? How's Steve?

Candice, do you have a new RV yet?

I have a new grandkitty, yep all my grandchildren have fur. DD#1 (Kristie) who had to put her kitty down the week dad died, just got a new kitty, Gatsby (yeah, it would be nice if I could spell). I'd post his picture if I could figure this picture thing out. Phyl you need to give me a lesson.

Oh by the way, will we have internet at the beach house?

Suppose I should kick it in gear, TTFN

I know you are happy to have this school year winding up!The summer break will be nice, even though I know you won't exactly be "on vacation"!

I am feeling pretty good. Finished my antibiotics and haven't had to use the inhaler.

The picture thing is easy... click on the little paper clip at the top of the box when you're finished typing your post. A box will pop up. Click on browse and find the photo file you want. Then click on upload. I think you can add up to 4-5 photos. When you're finished you just close the box and when you hit the "submit reply" button, the photos will post, too.

Yes, there is Wi=Fi at the beach house.

Afraid my daughter and I have created a monster!! LOL

After much resistance, due to all the rain, finally talked Earl in to using the 1 week free gym pass. So he went with me this morning... and he LOVED it! So he tells me we're going back tomorrow... I said we can't because I have appt w/LapBand people at 11 a.m. and it's 65 miles away. He says... we'll go EARLY!! So.... I guess I will be a little more disciplined in my gym workouts now!! He will want to make sure he takes full advantage of his free pass, and I'm paying now.. so he'll make me go, too!!

AND... they finally stopped renewing my "free" pass when the thing yelled "Access Denied" at me when I scanned my card this morning after my PT in the pool. So I signed up... $25 a month and no sign up fee for seniors... there are some benefits to being old!! LOL So they gave me my new member packet and she shows me the coupon page... I have 5 free week passes in my packet. She says I can give them to different people or give them all to the same person! So guess what I'm doing with mine!!?? So Earl gets 6 free weeks... the one Tracy gave him and the five I have.

You work so hard!

Karla - I just ck'd and yep that side does have one of those breakers - i just pushed it - it works !!!! (I know where the phone plugs in has one of those breaker but never noticed the other one ;0) Hooray the kids spent alot of $$$ on that stupid coffee machine that I don't really like.. Coffee isn't strong enough..

Well tomorrow is my Furlough Friday ;0) and then next week off the 10th & 11th - going to the beach on Thrusday- suppose to hit 110 here this weekend and they are admitting to 110 - I bet it's going to be 115 - and that's hot..

I haven't been to the beach in about 7yrs - last time (not counting cruise) was June or July 03 - The whole family is going.. It will be an experience - we will need to take 2 cars cuz there will be 6 of us and my car only holds 5

Phyl - LOL ha ha ha - you are going to have to go work out more - love it - I knew Earl would like it - he and I chatted one morning (sat I think) and he said he was going to have to go cuz you guys had so much rain - that he couldn't walk outside..

It will be good for you :0)

I am sure glad you are feeling better... Hell I would cancel my appointment ;0)

Well had to work 1/2 extra today to get last minute stuff done since I won't be there tomorrow - Hoping escrow close - just ck'd email - won't be closing till tue- wed next week -

Phyl, I don't have a paperclip? so maybe I just aren't allowed to post pictures.

Got my new glasses, they are okay. Not as fun as I wanted, but DEFINITELY cuter than my old ones that I have refused to wear this entire year!!

Suppose to have a 100% chance of rain tomorrow, I LOVE the rain. Someday when I am rich and famous I'm going to move to the Oregon coast and live in a beach bungalow or in a perfect world an old light house. I know, I'm strange. If I can't live on the beach, i'm going to live in the wilderness. Yeah right, too damn cold. But i can't stand the hot. Janet, I know you love it, but I melt like a popsicle in just a few minutes.

Surprise surprise, Elyse took poor Simon for a long walk and for a car ride AND she SAYS she is going to be home tonight.

Can you all believe it is Friday tomorrow, man has time flown. Got my liscence renewal in the mail today, so i'm good to teach another 5 years, yeah...better than nothing.

Well going to look at my new gardening magazine I splurged on while I was at Shopko..and up bought two big flower pots...but they were 60% off and they talked to me!!!

Check in later, TTFN

I know what you mean on the 'no having to go to work'. All school year, I'm in bed by about 9:30 to 10 then up at 4:30. During the summer I find myself not going to bed until 12 or 1 and then up at 10 am if I don't set an alarm. I still try to get up early so I can do yard work before it gets to hot. But with this being an El nino year, it should stay cool through most of July. Which means I will sleep in, NOT a good habit to get into.

Yesterday was our seniors last day of school. It was neat to see them all excited about checking out. Many of them had their grad gowns on. You'd walk by and hear them talking about where they were heading for school or training, or military. Several have sport scholarships. It made me miss Alexa. A pair of twins with physical limitation have earned a part in a small movie and have been traveling back and forth to California. I guess I'm feeling 'maudlin' today, time just seems to fly and I don't really know how I feel about it. I know I have a lot of years left, but when I see my friend who is 72 (and still working at the school) beginning to have limitations, it makes me sad and a little scared that I'll be there in 20 years. She has always been so sharp and agile and now some of her meds are making her brain a little fuzzy and the back surgery she had a couple of years ago has decreased her strength. It is heartbreaking. Wow, I think I have moved from 'maudlin' to depressed.

Anyway, going to go try the picture thing, we will see if it works. TTFN

      Saw my PCP & officially started my 6 month supervised diet 07/26/24. She just told me to eat less carbs & sugar, use the air fryer and not fry my foods in grease, and to try to walk 30 minutes 3 days a week & if I can't do that (and I cannot), to walk 10 minutes daily. Told me to walk fast enough that my heart rate is raised.  She didn't give me a number as far as calories though. A year or so ago I was doing low carb/sugar free and keeping my calories at 1800 or below. She said I should up my cals to 2000 at that time, so that's what I'm shooting for now.
      Hubby walked with me today. He's in pretty bad shape so I was surprised he wanted to. We walked down the gravel road at a pretty good pace (for us LOL). 10 minutes walking and my heart rate was 115bps according to my Fitbit and 125bps according to his pulsometer. Either way, it was elevated and I was breathing hard. Doesn't sound like a lot, but it's a start. We'll do it again tomorrow. 😁
      I should be hearing from the surgeon soon. She said if I didn't, to call him next week. Since I HAVE to do the 6 month diet & that's going to put me into January by the time it's done, I'm hoping the surgeon will let me do all my testing in January. I don't want to do it all now and have my deductible get met, only to have to pay the deductible again in January or February for my surgery. Praying that things go the way I hope. 🙏

      IMARC Group’s report titled “Alternative Sweeteners Market Report by Product Type (High Fructose Syrup, High-Intensity Sweeteners, Low-Intensity Sweeteners), Source (Natural, Synthetic), Application (Food, Beverages, and Others), and Region 2024-2032”. The global alternative sweeteners market size reached US$ 4.9 Billion in 2023. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach US$ 7.0 Billion by 2032, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 4.05% during 2024-2032.
      Grab a sample PDF of this report: https://www.imarcgroup.com/alternative-sweeteners-market/requestsample
      Factors Affecting the Growth of the Alternative Sweeteners Industry:
      Health Consciousness: The increasing awareness among individuals about the health issues linked to high sugar consumption, such as obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular diseases, is supporting the market growth. Consumers are becoming more health-conscious and seeking products that can provide sweetness without the negative health effects associated with sugar. This shift in consumer preferences is leading to a greater demand for low-calorie and natural sweeteners like stevia, monk fruit, and erythritol. These sweeteners offer the added benefit of having minimal impact on blood glucose levels, making them suitable for diabetic and health-conscious individuals.
      Technological Advancements: Innovations in the production and formulation of alternative sweeteners are impelling the market growth. Advancements in biotechnology and food science are leading to the development of high-intensity sweeteners with improved taste profiles and functional properties. Innovations in fermentation processes enhance the production efficiency and quality of natural sweeteners like stevia and monk fruit. These technological improvements are making alternative sweeteners more appealing to both manufacturers and consumers. Enhanced stability, solubility, and sweetness intensity allow these sweeteners to be used in a wide range of products, ranging from beverages to baked goods.
      Consumer Trends and Preferences: Evolving consumer trends and preferences are playing a significant role in driving the alternative sweeteners market. The growing demand for clean-label products, which are healthier and free from artificial ingredients, is offering a favorable market outlook. Consumers are increasingly seeking natural and plant-based sweeteners, aligning with broader trends toward plant-based diets and veganism. Besides this, there is an increase in the demand for low-calorie and sugar-free alternatives that support weight management and overall wellness. Food and beverage companies are responding to these trends by innovating and expanding their product lines to include options sweetened with alternative sweeteners, thereby catering to changing tastes and health concerns of modern consumers.
      Alternative Sweeteners Market Report Segmentation:
      By Product Type:
      High Fructose Syrup High-Intensity Sweeteners Low-Intensity Sweeteners High-intensity sweeteners represent the largest segment as they require only a fraction of the quantity to achieve the desired sweetness.
      By Source:
      Natural Synthetic On the basis of the source, the market has been bifurcated into natural and synthetic.
      By Application:
      Food Beverages Others Food accounts for the largest market share due to the rising utilization of sweeteners in a wide variety of food products.  
      Regional Insights:
      North America (United States, Canada) Asia Pacific (China, Japan, India, South Korea, Australia, Indonesia, Others) Europe (Germany, France, United Kingdom, Italy, Spain, Russia, Others) Latin America (Brazil, Mexico, Others) Middle East and Africa Asia Pacific region enjoys a leading position in the alternative sweeteners market on account of changing lifestyles of individuals.    
      Global Alternative Sweeteners Market Trends:
      Governing agencies and health organizations of several countries are implementing policies to reduce sugar consumption as they recognize its detrimental health impacts. Various regulatory bodies are approving alternative sweeteners for use, ensuring their safety and efficacy. These approvals provide food and beverage manufacturers with the confidence to incorporate alternative sweeteners into their products. Additionally, initiatives like sugar taxes in several countries are pushing companies to seek healthier alternatives to traditional sugar.   
      Furthermore, advancements in production techniques are making some alternative sweeteners more cost-competitive than traditional sugar. Consumers are becoming more concerned about the environmental impact of traditional sugar production and preferring more sustainable alternative sweeteners.
