You guys are not going to believe this! After supper it was ice cream time. Our head chef aka my SO raided the freezer and announced to me that I was running out of soya vanilla ice cream! I mean for real! There is another tub but it's chocolate! Time to stockpile those vanilla ones!

I must be lucky. My favorites are mint chocolate chip, peanut butter cup and salted caramel....

My SO's parents were leaving for a 2 weeks trip to the southwest of U.S.A and they were able to come to an arrangement with the pet grooming place they normally take Harry to to look after Harry. Yesterday as they were packing up his toys, blankets etc, Harry knew something was up and I was sent this photo of him clearing stating him opinion of all of this! He cried/whined in the car all the way to the temp new home. Tough 2 weeks ahead of him and the 2 girls who are going to look after him!

I like mint chocolate too! But with this soya ice cream range, choices are very limited. I have only seen vanilla and chocolate. Maybe they will bring out more flavours once the range gains more popularity.

I haven't ever tried soya, even though I'm a bit lactose intolerant. If I just choose my brand wisely, I don't have any issues. Will have to check soy ice or rice cream now ... :smile:.

Poor dude....he looks so sad.

M poor cats have this look today. We are under hurricane advisory for the day in central Tx and its raining cats and dogs out there and windy. I told them so but they still wanted me to open the back door. So I did. And now they are sitting in here staring mournfully at me because it's too messy to go out.

I was worried about the blind thing too. The library ran out of glasses early in the month. I decided not to pursue the glasses. On the news there was a picture of a crowd in NYC peering up at the sky and all of them had glasses on except this one young woman who was shading her eyes with her hand. Boy, I hope she's all right.
The eclipse was coming and I was in the midst of negotiating an best offer. Emails were flying back and forth -- what's condition of item, when will I get it, what shipping options do I have, etc., etc. and I was watching the sky thru the window at the same time waiting for 2:42 pm to come. It was a foreign transaction and I got rattled and gave the seller more than I had intended (I could have cancelled the offer but I'd already sent it). Tho it wasn't a huge amount more, I will never make another Best Offer when an eclipse is going on. Somehow even saying the words in the same breath: "eclipse, best offer," sounds like an oxymoron.

Anyhow, all the sky did was darken like twilight was coming for a couple of minutes (I had no glasses and no view of the sun). The pictures on cnn of S. Carolina were nice and i could see how the area was darkening nicely. I wonder if actually being in the path of it was as awe-inspiring as I heard on news reports prior to the event.

It's my busy season. I was working during the eclipse. I also did not get glasses either, but many in my office did. So about 2:45 I managed to go downstairs, borrow a set of glasses and took a look for 30 seconds. I then went back to work. Quite frankly, it was way darker during the rain/hailstorm that followed about a half hour past the eclipse.

My problem with cow's milk is rather complicated. I am allergic to the protein in milk as well as mildly intolerant of lactose. I have tried soya, coconut, rice, almond milks but soya derivatives are the most available in my country.
Your poor cats! Hope all is well with you and the hurricane pasts soon!

Exactly so about the diamonds. Did I mention that she said the real 6 ct was home in the safe? That was prefaced earlier i the evening by her telling me that they spent 60k on all new Andersen windows and that their Italian chandelier cost a fortune. Mind you, all of this was not information solicited by me. My DH and I just discussed this a few minutes ago and I told him that I felt this type of information sharing was unseemly, which may be an old fashioned notion. I had to listen to a recitation of all the sports figures and TV actors/producers who live on their street as well. Who asked? These are very nice and generous people, but they are pretty nouveau in this regard and I suppose they just feel they have to tell people all these things.

Nice, generous, and insecure about their wealth and acquisitions.
Well, that's better than sneering at others or in being cheap with others (like with gifts) so they can hoard their $$. Do they give nice parties that you know?
Supposedly, women with high jewelry used to leave the good stuff in the safe deposit box and wear glass (strass) imitations. I imagine CZ's that are high quality are pretty good imitations, too.

I was underwhelmed, too.
