It seems I jumped the gun on the full moon thing last night. I assumed wrongly that it would progress a percentage point before night's end, to make it 100% of full.
Nope, tonight it's 100% of full. Went to the end of my street cuz I've trees in the way, so I got it a bit earlier tonight.
And I think if you look real closely you can see that one percent difference. No, really. There's a tiiiiny bit shaved off the lower left part in last night's picture.
Ok, I'm done obsessing about the moon.

And because y'all are American flag freaks, I included it in that one pic.
I really hope I remember it was me who commented here.
I noticed the flag, nice touch.
Thought about postin a pic of that same ol moon (as seen in Texas) cause it's actually bigger here :)
But your pics are so nice (plus my cheap *ss camera won't take a clear one) that I won't.
Aw, I woulda liked that.
Oh yeah, B gave me his cold.
He says it must have been someone else, cuz he still has his. :) It's funny, both the boys at one time or another, thought if you "gave someone your cold", yours would be gone. Always strikes me funny when you realize things they don't know, cuz how would they?
Well I hope you feel better soon, and maybe you should 'give' your cold to someone else, like maybe a nosy neighbor or something. ;)
I'd just like to take this opportunity to recommend the benefits of zinc lozenge's.
Cold-eze brand works wonders. Tho CVS, Walgreens, etc have a cheaper comparable version.
Ohhhh..just take em!
Thanks, N. I'm hoping tomorrow will either be the worst of it, or the beginning of the end. I don't get sick much, so I think I'll take this one for the team.
R, I did think about your zinc today. But I didn't know if you were talking about an actual pill.
Ha...how'd you know I don't take that stuff? I'll think about it if it gets worse.
I feel like I should argue the point that legalizing euthanasia should have nothing to do with one's religion.
But I have a cold and my lymph nodes are swollen. So just feel sorry for me.
Ohhhh...just found one of my favorite movies on Turner Classic Movies. "Singing in the Rain".
Oh my Gene Kelly. If only I were around in 1952 to appreciate that man. He's a close second to GB.
Gene Kelly eh?
You're livin in the wrong era I'm afraid.
If you refuse to take "the zinc" I'm afraid I have no sympathy for you. That's like sayn antibiotics are voodoo. Ya know, don't think I've ever written the word "voodoo" before. It's a fun word...voodoo.
btw, the pills do nothin, it's gotta be the lozenges. For best results, take at the ONSET of cold symptoms.
Atleast drink plenty a fluids for cryn out loud.
I don't refuse to do anything. Just never heard of the zinc lonzenges. Stop bein mean to me... I'll look for it.
Typing "powerpoint" is much more fun than "voodoo". Try it.
Well, I'm goin to bed. Good night mean old man who won't feel bad for his sick friend. (Unless she takes "zinc". Whatever the heck that's supposed to do.) I'd wink, but I'm too sick. ha ha, k I'm milkin it now.
Mornin, hope tou and T are feelin better. Nights are always the worst when your sick.
Thought For The Day
"Be careful when reading health books; you may die of a misprint.".

Hi. B's goin to school. You're right, the night was pretty bad. I need drugs.
Goin back to bed. Have a good day!
Dream of zinc....
Dream of zinc....
So I dragged my sorry, watery eyed, red-nosed self to CVS. I bought orange juice, Puffs Plus, Sucrets throat drops, Sudafed non-drowsy(debate tnite)capsules, zinc lonzenges and Oreos. The oreos are to make me feel better.
Awesome.
Be sure to NOT drink or eat fruit or fruit juices atleast 30 min before and after takin zinc. Take atleast 6 to8 a day and DO NOT CHEW them, no matter how temptin. I should also tell you that almost everything you eat or drink while takin zinc taste..well..zincy. Cont lozenges for atleast a day after you start to feel better. Usually by the end of the second you feel the cold symptoms dissipatin; BUT that's if you start taken em the day you feel a cold comin on or soon after. Still by day 3 you should feel markedly better.
If the zinc taste (from food and such) is just too much (Summer won't take em) you can go w/ Zicam (sp?) which is a nasal spray w/ zinc, but experience taught me that it doesn't work as fast.
Welcome to the incredible world of zinc.
Geez. Get colds much?
Alright zinc boy, I'm on board. The Sudafed did squat. Don't know if it's the rotten night's sleep, the cold itself or the "non-drowsy" Sudafed, but I can barely keep my eyes open.
T said "mom, you need to rest. Seriously. You look terrible. No offense." :) thanks, kid.
Not really. but when I do their usaully gone quick, thanks to..ok..I'll stop.
Ha, from the mouth of babes, eh?
Finally finished all the clues for the different legs of the race. Balancin level of difficulty and time constraints (race needs to be 2 anda half to 3 anda half hours) was quite the challenge. Either no one will finish or it's over in 20 minutes I'm thinkin.
Now for the kids treasure hunt...
Ha! You're probably right. Sounds like fun, tho. I've always wanted to do one of those. Anybody helping you?
Watching the debate? I'm gonna..it's the last one and all.
Ok, I wasn't gonna whine, but this cold is kickin my butt! I can't remember feelin this crummy because of a cold. This is the first time I've been off the couch in nearly 3 hours and I'm ready to go back. I know, I know...I'm off to suck zinc.
Oh, I should have thanked you for all the zinc tips. That was very nice.
I just took some Robitussin: Night Time. That way when my head explodes, hopefully I won't notice.
gn
Trust me, soon you'll be borin e1 you know about the benefits a zinc.
McCain actually won this debate 2nite. I had intended to watch the first few minutes but stuck it out. I like it when he called BO senator government.
Off to p/u big kids from work.
Feel better.
I agree that McCain won. Obama did perform alright though. I think McCain wasn't specific enough in his attacks, but he was aggressive though. I think Obama's tax policy SHOULD be his undoing, if properly addressed. We'll see.
I seem to remember you takin the big kids to driver's ed and now you're picking them up from work. You lettin those kids drive yet? :)
I was tuckin B in last nite and I said 'thank you for being so wonderful today.' And he said, 'no ploblem'(that's how he says it),'I'm gonna be the same tomorrow.' :)
Picks:
D: Fang rew, Fang Imm, Susie out
L: Kota rew, Fang Imm, Randy out
May be a bit behind..I'm takin the kids to the school's Ice Cream Social. Wahoo!! D submitted his picks before he headed up to Saginaw Bay for a duck hunting wkend!
Ice Cream Social. I see the ol zinc is kickin in :)
Re: drivers ed. They actually still have some drive time to do there. And since I hafta put them on my liability insr, I'm makin em finish cause I get a discount on cost. Man, I'm a cheap skate. They procrastinated on schedulin it and now they're havin a tough time gettin to it cause a work.
Of course that means I gotta go get every freakin nite so maybe i should look into schedulin it for em.
speakin a work, oldest gave 2 week notice last nite cause she got another job (the one she wanted) at another major retailer.
Good bye Sam's Wholesale..hello Costco ;)
D's freakin Nanuck a the North man.
I'll post our pics in a minute, tho we'll probably start it late as well as S isn't home yet.
Our picks...
R: Fang rew; Kota imm; Kelly out
S: Kota rew; Kota imm; GC out
Yes, and it's not even deer season yet for Nanuck!
Wow! All our picks are different...how exciting!! (I know, it doesn't take much.)
Zinc or no zinc, I had to hit the social. Managed to do it in record time, tho. I think the worst is over, cold wise. Tho now I've got a wicked cough, which is never good.
Ok, goin to put a log in the fire (mandatory every Survivor night) and start 'er up. Where's my buff...
Question: I know I can't drink the juice, but can I WATCH fruit on t.v. w/in 30 minutes of suckin zinc??
Sur buff and a fire..sweet!
Scores?
Have no cough remedies, sorry. Maybe liquid zinc?
Glad you're feelin alittle better. Hmmm...starts taken zinc...starts feelin better...
well, if you're watchin tv I'm sure you'll see alotta fruits.
Totals:
R:24
S:22
L:21
D:16
S had a KILLER night tnite w/ her picks! Way to go! It doesn't get much better that that, folks.
The fruit comment was about the fruits they were launchin in the challenge....late comers.
Reck: "Still by day 3 you should feel markedly better."
Ok... c'mon. By day 3 EVERYONE should be feelin' markedly better. It's day 3. How long do cold's last?
Do you know the Brit expression "takin the piss outta you"? Cuz that's what I'm doin.
Ohhh....
In that case you can watch quitters too :)
Some colds can be hanger-on-ers; w/ zinc power the symptoms are lessened and the length as well.
"takin the piss outta you"
Can't sat I have? Splain please..
I think I may have a hanger-on-er.
Just means 'teasing' is all.
gn Havics. Well done tnite!
Thanks.
It's strange bein in the lead in this thing. But, it can change quickly.
Gn
Keep takin the zinc...
Reck,
I don't know that I've seen you in the lead in this thing...ever. Congrats!
"I don't know that I've seen you in the lead in this thing...ever."
Ha! Yeah, thanks for pointin that "ever" thing.
E-VER.
Hey, did you guys hear that GB's moving from CNNHL to Fox in the Spring in the 5pm slot?
Rub it in Mrs I'm In 3rd Place.
No, but I'm not surprised. I knew it was tough for CNN to put up w/ him.
Had to turn the heat on again. I put flannel sheets and the electric blanket on the bed the other night. omg...heaven.
Wow, things are heatin up at the TH blogs between the "McCain's a liberal, I'm voting Barr" and the "a vote for Barr is a vote for Obama, and we can't risk that" people. Fascinating stuff. (I'm a lurker, I'll admit it.) Kinda sad, really. There's a real division among people who've been talking a long time, and who are now sayin 'don't come back to my blog'. Wild.
So CNNHN yanked Glenn pretty quick! Guess he'd done a show w/ Peggy Noonan that won't get aired now. Looks like he's off tv till Spring. Good thing I have webcam access!! :)
Gonna cost CNN views imo. There are shows there I'da never knew abiut if it weren't for Beck.
Anyway, just hada a mini B-day bash for youngest; she turned 10 today. Her request for birthday dinner..Red Lobster?..no;...Mexican restaurant?...no;...za place?...no;any fine dinig or kid friendly establishment?...no.
She wanted dad's ribs and grilled corn and zucchini.
I've taught her well.
well, big race manana, plus the kids seal and I haven't even started puttin together theme and clues for them. Guess i picked the wrong week to quit sniffin glue.
Hmmm..judgin from that last sentence, maybe I never did quit :)
Say happy b-day to little S. It's crazy that Beck went over to Fox. I appreciated it that he was on CNN. I liked the independent side of it. On Fox, he's just another conservative. He'll be another conservative with better ratings, but just one of the pack. At 5 PM though? I wish they'd put him up against Olbermann just for principle, but I guess that's either O'Reilly or Hannity & Dufus.
Yes indeedy..happy bday to the little one. Double digits!
Sounds like a busy weekend. I'm going to Kalamazoo tomorrow till Sunday. I'll try to get some pictures..west MI is beautiful this time of year. Hitting the cider mill. Hopin to get home before 4:00 game time Sunday. Gotta see the Lions beat the Texans!
Mmmmm...dinner sounded good.
I had the same feelings about Beck's move, Nestor. Not to mention, the people who'll never stumble upon his show, cuz Fox News is so....Fox News. I know people who won't even turn it on.
She said thanks..and send presents.
Kiddin.
Ahhh...Kalamazoo.
Think Seinfeld.
Yall have a good weekend.
And Nest, if yall feel like spendin an afternoon driven around w/ a bunch a baptist huntin clues; gm time is 2:30.
There's gonna be foooood. Thought I'd add that cause that's what usually does it for me.
Speaking of food..I'd like your grilled zucchini strategy sometime, sir. I've never tried that, and I love zuch. Love it in olive oil and garlic, love it in scrambled eggs, love it w/ onions, mush, and toms...love it.
TheraFlu is my new best friend.
And zinc..you forgot to say zinc :)
Zuch's a snap. Slice it length wise. Drizzle w/ olive oil, salt and pepper and place on grill. Fire strength will determine cookin time. basically cook one side till you start to see decent grill marks and flip and cook other side. Better to not over cook as it gets to soft.
Guess I didn't splain slice size (tho that could be obvious) but each slice should be about as thick as, oh..say you were chicken fryn spam. Bout that thick.
Riiiight. Well that went w/ out sayin really.
I haven't had spam since I was a kid. And I don't remember it. I just remember I had it.
Arg, jus finished ye ol treasure hunt clues. Aye, it was a bit tough, but shiver me timbers, it was well worth it.
Have fun out west!
So long as no one ends up in Davey Jones' locker.
Hey, didn't you write the clues for the car hunt? Doesn't that give you, say...a little advantage? Or is everyone figuring you may not KNOW it gives you an advantage, so they'll let you play? ha ha
Thanks, leaving soon. Good luck on the hunt.
I love the cold syrup ads that tout their "warming sensation". Um..that'd be the ALCOHOL. Ever done a shot of Wild Turkey? Yeah, that has a nice warming sensation, too.
Ok ok, I'm leaving!
Be sure and ck the fine print about driving or operating heavy machinery while taken Theraflu please :)
Have a good weekend.
Unfortunately I be workin' from 2:30 to 11. ARRGGGHHH! I'm working this weekend and next. I guess that's how it works since I got the last two weekends off.
It went well, sorry yall couldn't make it Nest and co. Next time..next time. S and oldest watched kids while me and some others got to be race refs. I think I got the better end a the deal.
