Good morning everyone. Very, very humid here this morning. Jack took out the trash to the corner of the garage and came back in sweating. He said it is already miserable outside. Such is Memphis, I guess. We are expecting rain for several days so we shall see.
Going to try and tackle the downstairs today. Seems like there is always something that needs cleaning or straightening or putting away or whatever.
Maggie: Glad you like your watch. I quit wearing one quite awhile ago.
Jean: Glad you found Andy a home. Ian sure seems to love sports. The only thing Thomas has ever been interested in long term is running and the biking and the boy does love to do those two things. Well, he does hiking and stuff with boy scouts of course, but running and biking are the only things he does that are organized. He played one year of soccer when he was 5, but that was it. Jackson plays soccer, but he's lazy so I don't know how much longer that will last. He has good mechanics, he's just lazy. He went to basketball camp and Jay said he liked that a lot. Heaven knows how much they spent in camps this year. He has been going to a different one every week. This week they are in Michigan on vacation. Let's see Tom is 6'1", Jack is 6'2" and my son is 6'4." So, Thomas comes by his height more than likely through Jack's family as Tom's dad is pretty short and none of my family is exceptionally tall. Jack's grandfather on his mom's side was something like 6'6."
You all have a great day. I have my final surgeon's apt tomorrow then I imagine he will sign off on me.
Since I don't have to write the date multiple times a day any more, I never know what the date is for sure.
You would definitely be a positive inspiration for WW members. I have had caffeine later in the day and it's never bothered me, but every once in awhile I seem to react to it. I'm not even sure what all is in the McD drink except chocolate syrup on the top.
This morning at the grocery store a lady wrote a check. She had to show her ID then the checker put it in the register, and finally punched in a bunch of numbers from the check before she slid it in the locked drawer. After the lady left I asked if they had that same routine with every check and she said yes because they've had so many bad checks. Bob won't use a debit card and really prefers to carry cash. I keep telling him that someone might see what he has in his billfold and bop him over the head to get it. 
The house deal went back to the city council to work on, the lot will work if they take the garage off and put it behind the house, which doesn't comply with the city code.
The one thing I do is we carry cash when we go on excursions on our cruises. I figure if someone robs us all they get is the cash and if you use your credit cards in a foreign country, not only is it expensive, it is a great way to get your identity stolen. So, we just take cash. I never write checks around town anymore. I understand it, but there is too much rigamarole to it. I wish they would put the chips on debit cards that have the ability to use as credit cards. Walmart is actually one of the first places to use the chip readers on credit cards. We noticed a lot of places have them on their machines, but whenever we want to use it, they say they aren't connected yet. Why the heck not? The purpose is to protect you.
Happy Birthday, America! Only in the 80s today but storms in the forecast.
on being released by the surgeon. Now if you could just get your female issues cleared up you'd be a new woman. Our Walmart doesn't have the chip reader yet.
Does your debit card also work as a credit card? I mentioned, to the WM clerk, Beth's bank saying they were having trouble with WM security, and she acted like she didn't get it. Our WM employees are not the brightest bulbs in the box!
