I hope my foot is better by Saturday, I'm gonna be pissed if I can't cache. I found out today that the reason it's so swollen is that I have a staph infection. :chagrin:
Most people lose up to 20,000 gallons of water per year in their home alone. There are so many ways to conserve water - both indoor and outdoor. Do one thing each day that will save water. Even if savings are small, every drop counts.
Since Kentucky Grilled Chicken was introduced last week, America has been UNTHINKING what they always thought about KFC; there's a lot more to us than fried chicken! Now, America will get to UNTHINK their definition of "Monday," as KFC introduces "UNFry Day."
KFC is so confident America will love our new Kentucky Grilled Chicken, we're inviting you to sample our newest mouth-watering menu item on “UNFry Day,” Monday, April 27. Consumers are encouraged to stop by KFC throughout the day on “UNFry Day” and receive a FREE* piece of Kentucky Grilled Chicken.
thought this was interesting and would share... This day in history
April 27, -4977
Universe is created, according to Kepler
On this day in 4977 B.C., the universe is created, according to German mathematician and astronomer Johannes Kepler, considered a founder of modern science. Kepler is best known for his theories explaining the motion of planets.
Kepler was born on December 27, 1571, in Weil der Stadt, Germany. As a university student, he studied the Polish astronomer Nicolaus Copernicus' theories of planetary ordering. Copernicus (1473-1543) believed that the sun, not the earth, was the center of the solar system, a theory that contradicted the prevailing view of the era that the sun revolved around the earth.
In 1600, Kepler went to Prague to work for Danish astronomer Tycho Brahe, the imperial mathematician to Rudolf II, emperor of the Holy Roman Empire. Kepler's main project was to investigate the orbit of Mars. When Brahe died the following year, Kepler took over his job and inherited Brahe's extensive collection of astronomy data, which had been painstakingly observed by the naked eye. Over the next decade, Kepler learned about the work of Italian physicist and astronomer Galileo Galilei (1564-1642), who had invented a telescope with which he discovered lunar mountains and craters, the largest four satellites of Jupiter and the phases of Venus, among other things. Kepler corresponded with Galileo and eventually obtained a telescope of his own and improved upon the design. In 1609, Kepler published the first two of his three laws of planetary motion, which held that planets move around the sun in ellipses, not circles (as had been widely believed up to that time), and that planets speed up as they approach the sun and slow down as they move away. In 1619, he produced his third law, which used mathematic principles to relate the time a planet takes to orbit the sun to the average distance of the planet from the sun.
Kepler's research was slow to gain widespread traction during his lifetime, but it later served as a key influence on the English mathematician Sir Isaac Newton (1643-1727) and his law of gravitational force. Additionally, Kepler did important work in the fields of optics, including demonstrating how the human eye works, and math. He died on November 15, 1630, in Regensberg, Germany. As for Kepler's calculation about the universe's birthday, scientists in the 20th century developed the Big Bang theory, which showed that his calculations were off by about 13.7 billion years.
Knowlan's has antiseptic hand wash near the grocery carts now. Not sure if its because of the swine flu or just a coincidence that they're using them now. Grocery cart handles are nasty.
I noticed antiseptic wipes by the carts (in the grocery stores here) quite some time ago - I'm thinking a year ago, so it was probably two years, the way time flies.

No word yet when Yarusso's is opening up? Their Facebook page shows they are doing take-out and catering now.
Here's a couple before-and-after pix of the ceiling:
thanks for the info on take-out - I didnt know that and may take them up on it.
bummer I got all excited for Italian
The Minnesota Department of Education has forwarded an alert <http://www.sspps.org/vertical/Sites/{2B561619-723C-4585-8257-BD5E89887E15}/uploads/{5C50AF16-E767-4A83-AA0E-E5AD4F5567CF}.PDF> <http://www.sspps.org/vertical/Sites/{2B561619-723C-4585-8257-BD5E89887E15}/uploads/{5C50AF16-E767-4A83-AA0E-E5AD4F5567CF}.PDF> to all superintendents from the Minnesota Department of Health regarding the swine flu. We have been encouraged to share this information with all staff, students, and parents, es! pecially since many people have recently traveled to Mexico during spring break. Although no cases of swine flu have been identified to date in Minnesota, we must take this notice seriously. Staff have been asked to send any student who shows signs of possible flu-like symptoms to the nurse's office.
sorry this is a mess...came from my kids school this way...
Ours didn't bring it home yet
