Yeah, they have us over a barrel in the rural areas. I was also surprised that we didn't have coverage for my vehicle's gps while we were in Baton Rouge. It's the frickin' capital of the state so you'd think it would have signal, but nooooo.

A friend of mine linked me the candies on Amazon https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01NCQBC97/?tag=skimlinks_replacement-20 but Mom said they are only about $8 at Costco vs the $15 at Amazon. I'm not sure if she's correct on the price though.

We were supposed to leave Tuesday morning, but it's supposed to snow out in our neck of the woods so Mom wants to postpone another day. She talked to her dog on the phone earlier. My brother reported that the dog just looked very confused. Then our cat, ********, heard us talking on the speakerphone and started yowling at us.

We picked up a bunch of See's candies at "the mall of shopping". I went and got my hair trimmed while my sister looked around the mall.

Earlier in the day I sat in a half-egg shaped massage chair in Costco (aka $4k modern torture device). It traps your arms and squeezes them-- like having your blood pressure taken-- squeezes the hell out of your legs and locks them in, pushes hard on your feet, rolls you on your back and then punches you in your kidneys. It actually managed to dislodge my kidney stone though. The lady running the demo was so busy showing the music feature to another customer that she didn't hear me saying "I want out of this thing!" for like 10 min. She eventually realized that I was not enjoying it and pushed a button to have it release me and get upright again. She was also telling the guy that other people couldn't hear the music-- only him. I said "I can hear it" and she says "Only at the beginning, Now you can't". and I was like "Uh, yeah. I can. I can hear the music from that chair." That was the point she set my chair in torture mode and paid more attention to the guy-- who seemed to be loving the chair experience. To each their own.

Holy crap! I don't think it's ever been that cold where I live in recorded history.

Right now I'm trying to get myself lulled enough so I can sleep through the night and get up early to head out in the morning.
 
Sports go sports! ?
I have no idea. LOL. My father didn't like sports so we never grew up caring or knowing much about them.

Took my friend's girlfriend to the store and got her some shoes for a wedding. Poor thing has tiny feet-- she can fit in a size 4 dress shoe for women. Although she had to try on some children's shoes. For some reason the shoe sizes go from like 12 & 13 in kids and then there is size 1 which is larger than 13. A 13.5 was too tight but a 1 was too loose. She was trying to get me to help her with shoe and dress sizes and I told her she asked the wrong person. I know I wear XL or 2XL (depending on the garment) and size 8.5 to 9 shoes.
And apparently for dresses she wears a size zero. She tried on a size 4 that looked like a giant sack and was 10inches too long (she's only 5' tall and weighs about 70lbs).
Meanwhile, I've been doing laundry again. I dissected two rotisserie chickens and put the meat in a ziplock bag so they can be used in burritos and sandwiches (although I saw my brother just reaching in and eating handfuls of the chicken).

I need to hit the store tomorrow to get tortillas and milk.

On the bright side, when I cooked corned beef hash for my mother she said it was "very good"-- she normally doesn't praise things. Her saying something is "OK" is usually high praise. Adding garlic salt seemed to help.
 
Patriots will have an easy day. ....by 17
Tight game. Starting with a 1st quarter field goal. Tied at half time, and ending with a touchdown in the 4th quarter, then they'll recover a fumble with 3 minutes to go. Easy peasy. :D
 
I wouldn't bet on it ..
I won't. I'll put $5 on one square and hope for the best. I'm not good at games of skill. :D
17 Nick, and don't forget it. Eagles will get caught off guard a couple of times, then choke like a chicken for the entire 4th quarter. It's vision, Nick................. came like a stroke of lightning in the middle of the night. Once awoken from a deep sleep, I wrote it down. I have seen the future. ;)
 
The vet said my cat might have a brain tumor which is triggering seizures in her sleep-- explaining the twitching and peeing in her sleep. Said the only thing we can do is try to make her comfortable and he prescribed some medicine that is supposed to stop seizures. Had to fill the RX at Walmart since it's a controlled substance. Clerk asked if the child was insured- I said "She's a cat. It's to stop seizures". The clerk laughed and said "Ok, then I guess she won't have any ID so I'll have to look at yours". Thus far she hasn't been twitching in her sleep, although one of the cats peed on the waterproof mattress cover I sleep under. Don't know which one though. Could have been the sick cat or could have been the old cat who sometimes can't hold it in.

One of the new kittens has his eyes open now & he hisses at the light. LOL.
