They take multiple pills every morning, and their frig and pantry are full of no-fat no-sugar no-salt no-taste stuff. Imagine fat-free half-and-half creamer--what would be the point? Mom's doctor didn't make it an official prescription, but wrote out a recommendation that Mom start taking a nutritional supplement called Red Yeast Rice--when she mentioned it, i thought it was a side dish, not a pill!--that one gets in a health food store for lowering cholesterol. we stopped at a health food store, but at the mo they only had a named brand version that has other stuff in it, $47/month. Mom said she already takes fish oil so wouldn't need that in this pill. I try to point out that they reached their "advanced" age of 77 by not living this so-called "healthy lifestyle". I enjoy everyone's cooking for me, but the lousy-tasting fake butter and fake mayonnaise and artificial sweetener has got to go!

- 09:05 @freckle_faced oops, forgot the @. just realized i forgot to get a pic of niece i got together with yesterday, durnit. so how ya doing, Amy? #
- 09:16 @Jamberta yep, good car food is a neccesity. i once ate a burrito in the car, not noticing that chili & cheese was dripping all over me #
This happened a few years ago. I was actually marvelling at how perfect a burrito was as car food...but i was holding it upside-down, so with ever bite i squeezed more chili and cheese on my steering wheel and pants! to top it off, i was at the end of my laundry cycle, so i was wearing slacks that were dry-clean only! They went in the trash.
- 09:47 @freckle_faced it's good, tho continuous hot sunny days bore me. i'm too used to Ohio weather i guess #
- 10:26 heading out with the parents to do the weekly grocery shopping at wal-mart #

- 13:41 taking Mom to her rescheduled doctor's appointment #
- 14:02 this time Mom got called in to the doc's right on time #
- 14:43 i found out earlier today that we can see liftoffs at Kennedy Space Ctr from here, and there was one today, but we were busy and missed it #
- 15:20 Mom and i took Dad home, then went back out to shop a bit. 1st stop, Staple's #
- 16:00 forgot to check on network cable, so i'm back at Wal-Mart #
- 17:28 back from shopping. got a cat5e network cable so i can plug my laptop into the parents' DSL #
I think a cat6e cable would be faster, but Wal-Mart was out, and i just needed to plug my laptop into their DSL box for these few weeks. in the past, i was able to uplug the cable going to Dad's puta in this bedroom, but this time, it is caught under furniture and i can't get it out. i was thinking of various connectors and adaptors till Dad pointed out that there was still an empty slot in his DSL box so i just needed a straight cable with "male" plugs at both ends. i presumed just running it down the hall and going into the bedroom through the door would be good enough, but it barely reached so we fished it through the wall.
- 17:32 if that's Caro Wozniacki, i didnt either RT @TennisTiff @TennisLuvah I didn't know Caro haters even existed. #
Caroline Wozniacki is blonde, Danish, 19, and a terrific tennis player, the finalist in this year's US Open. What's to hate?
