I polished off the box of macarons that I bought from Costco. They weren't really mini-macarons, but they weren't full-sized, either.
I liked them and would buy them again.

I watched The Iron Claw on HBO tonight and although it was a really good movie but I was stunned by Zac Efron's face. He looked like a weird puppet and it was very distracting. Jeremy Allen White was cute but his tight shorts and underwear did him no favors.

I've fallen down a rabbit hole of watching crime cases on the "Brief Case" YT channel. It is moderated by a guy with a British accent and I love a British accent. I'm pretty sure it's a British accent...
Most of his cases are in the UK and very old with some dating back to the 1700s. He also covers some very old cases in the U.S. and other countries. I like the cases from the early 1900s the best.

I’m waiting for Santa Rosa Gardens to start its online summer markdown sale, sometimes I get the markdown and 20% off. I bought well over 100 plants last year after idiot landscapers cut all the bottom branches of my pine trees up to about 20 feet off the ground. I had to plant a bunch of rhododendrons. And make a shade garden under the trees.
I bought the rhododendrons at Lowe’s. They were pretty small. Neighbors laughed. I said, “Wait three years.” Well it’s year 2 and they’ve doubled in size. By next year they will be a pretty good privacy screen. And then they’ll really take off.
You know what plant turned out to be quite delightful? Brunnera. I’d never planted them before. I have a few varieties but Brunnera Garden Candy Silver Heart is the best grower.
Pulmonaria Rasberry Splash and Silver Frost are doing well, too. I can’t plant hostas because of deer and rabbits. Too bad because some hostas add some white into the garden and variegation.

R130 Copilot (GPT-4) says:
Certainly! To reduce flicker in your plasma TV, consider the following tips:
Refresh Rate Adjustment: Plasma TVs have a refresh rate (measured in Hertz) that determines how many times per second the screen updates. A higher refresh rate can reduce flicker. Check your TV’s settings and increase the refresh rate if possible.
Motion Smoothing or Motion Interpolation: Some TVs have features like “motion smoothing” or “motion interpolation.” These features create additional frames between the original frames to make motion smoother. Enabling this can reduce flicker.
Ambient Lighting: Adjust the lighting in your viewing environment. If the room is too dark, it can exacerbate flicker. Consider adding ambient lighting behind the TV or using bias lighting (LED strips placed behind the TV) to reduce contrast and flicker.
Avoid Fluorescent Lights: Fluorescent lights can interfere with plasma TVs and cause flicker. If possible, avoid using fluorescent lights near the TV. Opt for incandescent or LED lighting instead.
Check Power Source and Connections: Ensure that the TV is connected to a stable power source. Fluctuations in power can lead to flickering. Also, check the HDMI or other video connections for any loose cables.
Update Firmware: Check if there are any firmware updates available for your TV. Manufacturers often release updates to improve performance, including flicker reduction.
Professional Calibration: Consider professional calibration. An expert can optimize your TV settings for the best picture quality, which may help reduce flicker.

I had a rough, red, slightly itchy spot on one side of my nose. I was afraid I'd end up looking like Steve Bannon and I don't even drink!
I spoke with a nurse and tried to explain what was going on. I said it looked like the beginning of gin blossoms. I then said that I didn't want to end up looking like that guy who worked for Donald Trump who is now in prison (I couldn't think of Steve Bannon's name). She didn't know what gin blossoms were and I regretted talking about Donald Trump.
Anyway, I think my nose is getting better. I took some Alegra b/c my whole face felt itchy. The Alegra seemed to help.

I am whelmed. I just saw a very big cat in my backyard chasing either birds or rabbits. All the birds are nesting so they were kicking up a fuss, yelling outside.
I looked out the screen door and saw this cat with a big, bushy tail. It was brownish colored. I banged on screen door and yelled “Get out!”.
Then it turned around and I saw it had white on its face. But its face was weird, like it came to a point at the nose.
And its tail was hanging down which is usually a sign of a stray or a feral cat. But this cat looked big and healthy. And it was sort of reddish colored in the front. Then I saw its tongue. Its mouth was open, and its tongue was out, like a dog.
I thought, “This cat acts wild but it’s well fed. Funny, I’ve never see a fluffy-tailed, reddish brown, pointy-faced cat before.

I love Sukhi’s pea and potato samosas with cilantro chutney. My tongue is old and can’t take hot spicy foods anymore. I like spicy, but I can’t do hot, I can’t even eat Trader Joe’s samosas anymore - even the de,I it’s chicken tikka samosas are too much for me now.
Sukhi’s aren’t too hot. Be careful though. There are other pea and potato samosas that are too hot - DEEP comes to mind. Way too hot for old me.
(Obviously I am one of those people to whom cilantro doesn’t taste like soap)

BOGO Troll, how can you eat so much ice crearm? It's not a dig; I'm curious. Do you eat well, exercise, are naturally trim, or have you given up the battle of the bulge? I love ice cream but have no control when it's in the house. Hoping you can share some tips.

r252, most of my BOGOs are shared with a friend who is quite ill and recently approved for SSDI. I try not to mention that often as it sounds like I'm bragging but sometimes I feel like I need to mention it so I don't sound like a huge glutton.
The strawberry mochi was dropped off at his place on the way home and I kept the mango. Also, in my defense, I don't just ply him with junk food (although it makes him happy), I also include a staple or two (chicken, ground beef).
I do weigh my food on my handy dandy scale. I've been having some of the Tillamook strawberry ice cream from last week's BOGO, 95g is 200 calories and that's all I have. Log everything I eat into MyFitnessPal. I also put my recipes into MFP, there's a recipe calculator and it's tedious but it does help me keep track. The peach Tillamook from last week's BOGO was given to the couple next door when they impromptu invited me over for steaks on the grill.
My exercise is daily walking, seven days a week. I think I'm an okay weight, 5'9' and fluctuate between 165 (when I'm happy) and 170 (when I'm in a funk). Next month I'll celebrate the 30th Anniversary of my 30th Birthday. 🤣

What is it about the internet that has made it impossible for people to come up with a name for their pets all by themselves?
by Anonymous | reply 266 | June 8, 2024 4:44 PM |
Before the internet people had to go to local libraries to research names for their pets. There were historical volumes of pet names, classified by type of pet, size, color, activity level. You could t name a St Bernard Sparky or Spot. You had to research and decide spin an appropriate name that could be shortened or elongated as a cool nickname.
But now we have the internet, so all a person has to do is post a photo of an animal on 150 sites and ask, “What should I call this boy”? and “Need a short, easy to remember name for this little girl.”

I counted 7 cars with expired NJ inspection stickers while on my walk just now. Cops love those people. In NJ, they specifically sit in the medians, wherever possible, radio to a car ahead and pull you over. They were lenient through 2021 but not anymore.

Monday the hospital’s “Specialty Pharmacy” wasn’t answering the phones and not without reason as they were switching over to a new system for notifications. So I filled out the online order form Tuesday, a woman called to verify what med I needed sent where and that it would be delivered on a date certain, explained and apologized for the new system startup issues, and we’re all set.
Today another woman from there calls me saying I need to order my meds yet can’t seem to access any information about it as if either whatever was to be done yesterday wasn’t done (by the nice lady) or that she can’t open my file. I asked if she could check it out and call me back. She hasn’t so I don’t know if her problem was solved or if it’s now mine. Again.

I pulled over into the parking lot and gulped down the whole thing. Then I got out of the car and dumped all the residual evidence into their trashcan.

There is a process to appeal, R498. However, if I use Zillow's estimate as a guide my property is worth about $30,000 more than the towns assessment.

But a reveal is supposed to adjust relative values within a town. If everyone’s value went up the same, their taxes should be stable. The only way a 42% hike makes sense is if your property skyrocketed in value when everyone else’s did not. That would be unusual unless it had been a long time since the last reval.

Huge swings happened in Jersey City because they had put off the reval for 30 years and downtown had become very valuable while other areas that were once decent had become slums.

R501, I purchased my condo for $58,000 in 2016 and invested $20,000 basically gutting it replacing the kitchen and bathroom and holes in the flooring. According to Realtor.com or Zillow it is worth about $130,000. It sold in 1989 for $96,500. It's a crappy condo built in in the 70's for rental units which was converted to condo's later due to bankruptcy.

PSA: If you ever buy Ben & Jerry's Dirt Cake, remove the lid very slowly and carefully IN THE SINK.
The top layer is a thick layer of loose cookie crumbles. If you whip off the lid, the cookie crumbles will go flying all over the counter and floor and your dogs will come running to eat up the mess on the floor. You will spend the next ten minutes cleaning up the mess and shooing the dogs away.

Really, really orange. What’s up with that? Orange zinnias would be nice in autumn, instead of ubiquitous chrysanthemum, but not now. And not *all orange.* It’s hard to find green zinnias at garden centers and impossible at big box stores. Lime Envy, Queen Lime, Queen Lime Blush. They’re nice, but unpopular, I guess.
