I have never, nor will I ever, pour milk on my cereal. It's just....weird.

That being said, the only cereal I eat these days is the occasional bit I snatch out of my kids' bowls. Especially since I've gotten the boy to love Captain Crunch with Crunch Berries.

My favorite cereal was Grape Nuts. With milk and a liberal sprinkling of sugar. Been at least twenty years since I had any, and I'm not inclined to go looking now. I stay out of the cereal aisle. :-)

I remember seeing this as a commercial in the 80s -- take a bowl of Grape Nuts, pour milk and some sugar on them, then add a bit of butter then microwave them. After the butter melts stir it all up. It's delicious and really filling on a cold day.


Waiting for 'The Storm' to hit.
Which it will, supposedly, do,... Tomorrow now, apparently.

:/

Only a tropical storm, but we actually had enough rain last August that areas not normally prone to flood, (like my house) actually got water. So keeping an eye on it.


Good luck to everyone in the area affected by the tropical storm. Be safe.


It would appear I am in the minority regarding breakfast cereals. I don't eat them often, but I do occasionally enjoy some. I tend to cycle through a rotation of raisin bran (oddly, the way I really like raisins), honey nut cheerios, cinnamon life, crunch berries, peanut butter crunch, cinnamon toast crunch, frosted flakes, and frosted miniwheats. I also sometimes eat rice krispies, but typically only if they're left over from making rice krispie treats.

Construction Worker Finds 600-Year-Old Sword in Bog


So I am fostering a friends dog. It's a large goofy cattle dog mix named Smokey. I was initially worried, but he and Wilbur seem to be getting along. I do have to come up with a method to allow Wilbur to eat in peace. Smokey has snarfled up his food twice. The problem is Wilbur likes to graze. Smokey seems to like to bolt his meals.

Or new kitten is the same way, we have to hold her whenever we put food down for the dog, otherwise she attack like she's starving.


Yeah new pets can be a bit trying. But I can feel happy in that I am preventing a dog from having to go to the pound, and eventually he will rejoin his family

Yay!

And yeah Blue gets borderline rabid around any food, which was a bit of a shock since our other cat outright ignores any food that isn't his kitty food. Granted Blue is part Lynx...

Not even closed containers are safe around her, since she has also apparently mastered the act of jumping straight up, corkscrewing, then perfectly diving straight back down into a box of cereal. It took me a second to process what just happened before I yanked her out.

I used to love eating cereal with milk, but about a year or so agao it started making me extremely nauseous when I did so. So I switched to just eating it dry, works better as a snack that way too :3

And yay! Crunch berries! I love those.


Yeah they all have different personalities. Wilbur is such a good boy, a very prim and proper pooch where Smokey is a total sp**.

Sure John. Don't say good morning. Just ignore me. It's not like we didn't date for three years or anything. But, hey, I guess I am forgettable.

Sorry. Just read Crystal's intro to Ironfang Invasion #3. I've sent her a PM thanking her for what she wrote, given my current medical difficulties. I got emotional at the end, and had to spend a few minutes in a quiet place.

Thanks for trying to make me laugh.

You think I'm going to stay at home pining after your rotting azz? You're both just jealous that I got a hotter, richer, nicer boyfriend than y'all. He's taking me to Branson Missouri for the Fourth of July! Best either of you ever did me was a six-pack of Pabst Blue Ribbon and Lovers Lane for a date. Cheapskates.

Thanks for trying to keep my mind off the upcoming surgery, and the chemo sessions that will follow. Not really looking forward to being physically sick.

I don't eat cereals almost at all. I don't buy them, though I might eat a handful if someone hands me the box.

It all depends on whatever are the alternatives... I am pretty sure that it's favorable to many ways of dying...


Hey all,

Seems my area getting wet was a big waste of worry-time. (Not that I was worried. Nope. But the wife, you know, SHE worries.) ;P

The line of rains moved closer to Texas, so the Zombie might get a little water-logged soon, but so far all we've gotten was a little damp.

So of course the schools and universities all closed up their summer classes and orientations for nothing. So of course NOW they are all anxious about catching back up,... yadda yadda, can't please some folk. ;)

Let's see...

Dying peacefully in my sleep...
Dying quickly in an explosion...
Dying slowly from a disease...
Killing myself with a slit in my stomach that will cause intense pain for about 15 to thirty minutes, or until someone slices my head off...
Getting shot in the head...

So far we've only got one that is likely worse/more painful...

Incidently, the most slices during a hari-kari is five, if i'm not mistaken. The young man in question regained his families honor through that many slices, doing three horizontal, two vertical, and was starting his sixth slice, if I remember correctly, when his body finally gave out.

Not me. We barely saw enough rain to wet my lawn.

Morning, all. What did I miss?


Workplace drama...:
We have some guys coming for a few (up to 20) hours sentenced to doing community service every now and then. A young guy that was a few times before came today. When I said hello, he extended left arm apologising that he hurt his right shoulder...

Later we went to the airstrip to move around some pieces of portable fences. He loitered around and then proceeded to remove some small pebbles from the strip while we worked.

A few hours later folks started asking for him, for apparently he claimed that he hurt his shoulder while moving fence with us (five interns)...

Because I mentioned earlier how our greeting looked like, I was asked to go HR and repeat it there. I was asked if I am the one who lifted the fence with him. I answered honestly that I don't recall him lifting things with us. I was asked to sign a statement that the guy claimed to have hurt shoulder during our greeting by the director himself (though it would be done around the next week, we are busy currently, and I got myself two days off for Monday and Tuesday earlier today). I went back to work...

Then the supervisor came pissed off. Apparently when they called an ambulance, the guy asked to go to toiled and vanished. In light of that I was asked to go sign the statement now. When I reached the HR, the guy was there again having been found, and the HR manager was questioning him, and proceeded to ask me to fetch all the interns who worked on the strip to find anyone who would lift fences with him.

Except, no one recalled him lifting anything...

We spend the next half an hour or so waiting for the HR manager and the director. The director asked us the same thing again, with me being the main speaker for the group. We proceeded to sign a statement that we don't recall working with the guy and I was asked to sign the earlier statement that he mentioned having hurt shoulder when he already came.

*sigh*

Everyone is 99% sure the guy wanted to slip off out of (not so heavy) work but went overboard and triggered work accident concern in HR and then dragged himself deeper into bovine metabolic leftovers.

Halos, halos, I see halos everywhere. I can do this.


Just counted my courses, and I've completed 1/3 of the requirements for a Botanical Illustration Certificate at the Denver Botanic Gardens from January 1 to now. Of course, I am out of money right now, so will spend the next half of the year honing skills. If I can do this same thing every year, I should be done by mid-year 2019!

I cannot imagine myself with any sort of official thingy for art.


Treppa, don't sell yourself short. Good quality illustrators for any science are at a premium.
