I catch myself thinking: "Wow, that lucky person can eat "normal" foods," when I see someone eating toast or bread on TV, since avoiding carbs has been the only thing that makes me lose weight faster. It's not fair!<br />I love cows and would love to be a vegetarian--I do eat very little red meat, but still eat chicken and fish. I feel sorry the way animals are treated. I am an animal person. I love them all! <br />I think you are some kind of FOX for dragging John to IKEA just for a soft serve cone!! I mean if he didn't figure out that you'd follow the "Yellow Brick Road"...er, Arrow, all throughout the store, then he hasn't learned yet!) I am sure happy to see you blogging again! I sure missed you, Girlfriend, and I kinda got outta sync without your blog! As usual you are a scream and I love your chats with John--they so remind me of me and Fred!<br />Love and kisses,<br />ETHEL Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13771857135420281489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7186929171672526984.post-83978664833878331292016-05-27T20:24:22.879-07:002016-05-27T20:24:22.879-07:00Oh the lights got me laughing!

We bought dusk to dawn sensor adaptors and then put in LED bulbs that are the equivalent to 40Watt bulbs and only use 4.5 watts of power. So it only literally costs pennies (which are still used in the U.S.) to have the two porch lights go on at dusk and off at dawn by themselves. I love it for the deterrent aspect and my husband likes it because when he works late, there's actually a light on for him when he comes home. I figure its a win-win.SharonFromMichiganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08950573864201645294noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7186929171672526984.post-91101136014402632962016-05-24T19:54:19.288-07:002016-05-24T19:54:19.288-07:00Really missed your Friday chats.

Of course with the price of copper we could probably melt them down and make a fortune (if we had saved them).<br />Hope you are doing well- good luck on the diet.

We have the same fight about the outside light at night at our house as well. My husband seems to think thieves LIKE light as it helps them see what they are doing?? lol Whereas I know that they absolutely do NOT like light because then everyone else can see what they are doing. He only wins because I have realized that at our new home the porch light shines bright right into our bedroom. :) Have a great week end. xoNancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09749734347647016111noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7186929171672526984.post-62717254960080577682016-05-13T10:36:42.927-07:002016-05-13T10:36:42.927-07:00Good for Canada!

Skipping pennies by rounding up or down saves them time. I don't think going to IKEA for ice cream is a safe endeavor ;-0 There is always so much that just wants to jump in one's cart these days.
