OT: POTD: Why I loved my last vacation in Florida
Comments (14)My condolences my dear friend. I guess my feeling to add that hug at the last minute was good. You and your family will be in my prayers. May God give you the strength to deal with the sudden loss as best as you possibly can. Karyn you are right....it is best not to know lol But 5 bucks round about for a nice sized hibiscus for me is a steal lol April it is long looooooooooooong ago since I went through the first day of school with the 1st born...but it is always harder on the moms to *let them go*. No matter how old they get and where life takes them, it never changes but if you love your child...you let them do their thing. That is IMHO. Barb the cuttings are on the window sill for now. Took as many as I could from the bigger bushes...the new ones...I will give them another season before starting to take things away from them. My neighbor came to the fence yesterday and told me that it looks awesome. Well and I am glad she gets to enjoy the flowers more close up now also :-) HOT....I need to get my stinky self in the shower lol Lucy...See MoreOT: Why I Post Fire Weather Info 'Gone in 15 Minutes'
Comments (6)Adella, Normally you can go to the website of the Oklahoma Forestry Service and there's a link on the website that takes you to a burn ban page with a map, a listing of counties with burn bans in place, and another link to the burn ban law. Both today and yesterday I haven't been able to access the Burn Ban page using Internet Explorer, so depending on what browser you use and whether the issue is with IE or with OFS, you may or may not be able to access the burn ban page today. The rules can vary in each county because often counties implement additional restrictions above and beyond those in the basic burn ban statute, but in most counties you are allowed to grill during a burn ban as long as you're not using an open flame. In some counties, the grill you're using has to be placed on a nonflammable surface like a paved patio or driveway. In some counties, the grill has to be at least 5 feet from anything flammable like grass or wood decking or a wood fence or whatever. The big tankers could have been fire tankers. Many fire departments have big tankers, and often they are surplus army trucks or surplus milk trucks that carry thousands of gallons of water. Most of the volunteer fire departments in our county have at least 1 or 2 tankers because there are no hydrants out in the rural countryside. Sometimes when we have very large, uncontrollable wildfires, some of the oilfield service companies here in southern OK assist us by sending us tankers full of water and we use those tankers to refuel our smaller tankers or brush trucks. On really bad wildfires far from town, a local gasoline distributor even brings out a tanker truck of gasoline and refuels the fire trucks at a location close (but not too close) to the fire. If your city or county has a website, you could check it to see if there's a County Burn Ban notice posted. When I last looked at the OFS website on Thursday, I think that 31 of OK's 77 counties had implemented burn bans, and most of them were in western/southwestern OK through central/northcentral OK. Most of southcentral and eastern OK did not have burn bans as of Thursday. I suspect a lot of new counties will implement burn bans at their next county commissioner's meeting. Dawn...See Moresometimes i wonder where my brain goes! (OT)
Comments (8)Darn! After all your planning! I did something just like that a few months back. Waited over a month for the appointment where they'd make me some orthotic arches for my aching feet. I was thinking of it all weekend, but my husband and I had to go out of town to put in the docks--a four person job, mind you--by ourselves. I was a bit miffed at his parents for planning to be out of the country and off on one vacation after another, so that we had to do it ourselves. Anyway, we were so worn out Monday morning, I completely forgot the appointment. Had to reschedule. Another month and a half later, turns out he doesn't think I need the arches after all. My feet got better from the PT. Saved myself over $400, so maybe it's a good thing I missed that first appointment. Your job now is to try to figure out why it was better to have forgotten to make the meatballs. It might be better that way, just like the "mistake" on your wall hanging....See MoreWhy did I wonder...
Comments (22)Hi, Jess, sorry, I just saw this. I don't have the odor issue! I've heard of it here, but havent experienced it. I have a 500 series I think (why isn't that on my manual?) The controls are on the outside, the cycles are Heavy, Auto, Normal, Express, and Rinse. I usually use Normal or Auto. A row of tines on the middle rack folds down, but not on the bottom rack. The handle is recessed (it's in a corner and a protruding handle would hit the cabinet knobs, and vice versa) Hmm, I wonder if the foldable tines on the bottom make a difference? I wish the bottom rack had weren't quite so open on the bottom, that the mesh or whatever you call it were closer together. I have. To watch small plates and be sure I put any square pans just so so they don't dip too far below the bottom of the rack....See More
