Freezing In A Parking Lot And Coffee

This is me in the Walmart parking lot waiting for my friends to get out of the place. I was standing there freezing to death as I lost my gloves some place and had forgotten my knit cap.

I tagged alone to get a new coffee maker. Old one packed in as as always you never know it's dead until it's filled with water. Sigh what a mess. LOL.

So I ended up spilling water all over the floor and the counter. Had to mop it up and take a bunch of paper towel to the counter. Then was the task of getting the old and rather large maker into a trash bag. Well after that random hell, I lugged it down and tossed it in the bin.

The new maker is way less fancy but does the job just as well - I just can't set it to come on in the morning when the alarm goes off. Kind of literally only did that 3 times in the 2 years I owned the thing, so I guess it is not a useful feature.

This one also takes up a lot less space than the old one. The only thing is, It's basket filters and NOT cone filters - so the old filters and lots of them are now a loss. I guess next trip out the door I will drop them off in the laundry room to let others have them. I don't need them anymore...

Back the wally world - I was going to sit on the bench in there and wait, but there where literally 7 old folk on the 2 benches and no room for me. So I had the silly idea to wait out in the cold. Well it took them 20 minutes to get out of there as they messed up and they had to get that fixed.

I had gotten to the point I was going to go back in and wait in the entry way where it was warm. So I walk in the in doors and coming out the out doors are my 2 friends. Perfect timing that.

We ended up going for coffee and a tiny bit of cheese cake. The cake was very good but gone in 3 mouth fulls. I mean it could have been 4 times the size to be a normal portion. But oh well. It was good and not over the top expensive for it's size.

Well I need to go and have a rest now, my back and legs are acting up. Better listen to them and lay down now... Later all...

HOW TO FIX BLOGGER FROM DOUBLE SPACING LINES OF TEXT

Image
When you click on the editor to type text, it changes to "Paragraph" instead of "Normal". This causes there to be a double space between lines. If your trying to do a list, this is a serious piss off. So you have to click where it now says "Paragraph" and set it back to "Normal". I've had it a couple times not stay, and had to select all then set it to Normal again. As well it puts in a leading space (indentation of 1 space) you may want to delete as well, or your list won't look quite right at the top. It used to stay where you put it, but now it just up and changes it to Paragraph for literally no reason - even if you first set it to Normal - you click and POOF it changes.

Matilde Vicenzi Cookies Are Great

Image
Was sent these by a good friend for a birthday gift. They are really very good. Quite possibly the best cookies I've had in years. I tried them all, and I like the white one you see in the bottom picture, as it had a lemon taste to it. Some had a bit of liquid chocolate in them and where very good as well. Like normal, the ones with the bit of jam in them where a bit too sticky and chewie. But I seriously enjoyed all of them. These are great. I'm going to look them up on Amazon and if they are not too much money, I'm getting more for Christmas. OK just looked it up and NOPE, it's $28 a can. They are very good, but that is a bit out of my price range. But the usual Christmas Danish Butter Cookies are also kind of a lot of money now as well. They are also a bit moist, and not super dry like usual. Also not powdery like a lot of them do. I'd give these an 8/10 and would recommend highly.

10 Questions Answered

1. How many times have you seen the time as exactly 8:18 am/pm in your life? Almost never. If I did I did not take note of it. 11:11 I always remember as well as 3:33. The middle of the night where all the horror movies have things happen is said to be 3:15am - you have no idea how many times I’ve woken up at 3:15am and looked at my phone. 2. What have you lived long enough to see? The list is rather long, but I’ll try to keep it short. Computers went from filling a room bigger than my apartment, to fitting in our pockets. When I worked in data entry, the entire building was using a 1GB drive that was the size of a stove. Now my 512GB micro SD card is smaller than a fingernail. Medical treatments like Stem Cells are not giving life back to people who would have died when I was younger. Medication I’m on did not exist 15 years ago, and it’s keeping me alive. All manner of medical wonders. Personal space travel. This was fiction when I was young, and now it’s happening. Then there is uns

Had a Great Birthday Lunch

Image
Went out on the 14th for my birthday lunch with friends. It was very enjoyable. I got the Jambalaya pasta and a Doctor Pepper (free refills so I had 3). Because I was celebrating my birthday, I got an ice cream sandwich for free and the "birthday song" sang to me. In the photo you see what my friends got me - Kicking Horse 454 Coffee and Double Chocolate TimTams, and a card. Earlier I posted a review of cookies I was sent by another friend. I also got some silverware. This is literally the first time in my life I have new silverware. I had been using very old ones for many years - at home with my parents, they had an even older set. I also never owned a salad fork LOL. There was no tea spoons with it, so I have older tea spoons still. I tried to look for just tea spoons, but they came in large numbers and I don't need 60 of them, I just want 4. I also got a total of $140 gifted to me by several nice people. I got some stuff I need and a toy I wanted (personal kind of toy)
