Looong day sorting shop stuff. I think I inadvertently spent too much time outside sorting books; I have that slightly radiant kind of overbaked feeling.

Ahhh, my husband is looking like a tomato today from the time he worked out side over the weekend.

Yes! sunburn is bad. 20 or 30 years from the time of the sunburn one can get skin cancer It only takes one cancer cell. I grew up at the beach for 30 years {navy brat} and I've had 30 plus squamous cell carcinoma cut out of my skin.. Mostly on my face, but some deep deep areas on my body. One really bad one was on my left forearm. I figured out that it was driving with my arm leaning on the window  panel. One cell if left undiscovered can grow into millions more. Especially tanning beds. I get concerned when someone I know gets a sunburn. It's a burn. From the sun. 

You might cry if I tell you the story of when I was 18, on the Salt River in Arizona, forgot the sunscreen in 120 degree temps, and had third degree sunburn on the back of me.  Let's say it is really freckled on the back of my legs. :/

galleri you will have to keep a close eye on that. If you have an unusual freckle or the border is uneven pleeez go to a doctor and have it checked. I was so dark from all summer at the beach I would be out for 8 or 9 hours without sunscreen. Back in the day nobody even knew what "sunscreen" was! So I spent 30 years at the beach without sunscreen, just like everybody else. The surfers would put zinc oxide on their noses but that was all we had.

So, what kind of food? Where from? wow 1700s cool

 

All kinds! He does these cool deep dives into the history of different foods that we use (like sugar, honey and some other things). Uh another example... He made a fruit cake from the 1700s or so? Eggnog from the 1700s, some meals from the feasts of Roman emperors. It's nice. Good fun, and he's really funny. 

[BringsTheSnow]

There are 5 minutes left in the day and my first batch of ANZAC biscuits just came out of the oven. (I am a slow and distracted typist so it is now after midnight. )

Happy belated ANZAC day everyone. You can read up on WWI history, specifically the battle of Gallipoli, in commemoration of the lives lost from the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps.

 

Also, here is the delicious ANZAC biscuit recipe. I highly recommend!

And Tasting History? Yea I've definitely heard of him, he keeps showing up in my YouTube shorts and recommended.

Haven't seen a Greek dish yet from him, will look for it now to binge watch some episodes.

I'm Greek/American so I love learning more about where my family came from ❤️

ok. My partner had cataracts, so he had surgery, and also had one lens made for close up vision, and one for far away vision. A person has a dominant eye an when she did the surgery, she put the wrong lens in the wrong eye. So now he has blurry  vision and headaches and more. He spoke with the VA Hosp. and they said he  has a claim, so now he'll go talk to the surgeon that screwed up and then he can get an attorney and sue her butt! That won't fix  his problem tho.

Least you didn't do what my parents did. They decided to fly all the way to Greece to get their cataracts removed.

But due to the short amount of time they could stay, they could only do it for one eye. So now they have to go back again this summer.

And it costs nearly 3k or more for both of them alone to go, add kids it gets to 10k (including all expenses here like food and site seeing).

 

Still, I hope all is alright for you and your husband ❤️

Guys, I'm annoyed. I bred an egg on Friday to fill a request someone had made and they STILL have yet to pick it up.  They have been online since then but haven't looked at the PM...

 

Luckily, I'm not a huge collector of 2-headed dragons so I loaded up on the other NR and grabbed 2 of the 2-headed eggs. Still annoying though!

Agreed. Just keep the egg at that point.

If they really wanted it, they wouldn't ignore the message.

Good morning afternoon, CPA!

Walked with my friends this morning. It was cool and cloudy, but a nice day for walking and we discovered a new wildflower garden in the park we have walked in several times before.

@Lagie Yesterday's Ask daily quiz was about Legos. Bet you will do better than I did. (I only scored 60%)

 

 

A new wildflower? That is pretty fun

Took the Lego test out of curiousity, and score a 55%

Afternoon you all. Per as usual, I am so behind. Nothing new lol. I am almost at the point of turning in my two weeks to the second job at the pizza place, which I should probably do early since I have somehow jacked up my knee. Turned in a 6 week resignation to the admin asst. position I work in the day during the week. House is almost ready to place on the market. 

I am eyeing Purplehaze's 20 week challenge. But ummm I have never done a stair type or any of those stair type lineages. I am also debating what I can breed together.

There was a time a summer not too long aggo, I was outside for the whole day at the beach and didn't think I'd burn because I was covered from head to toe. Well, when mom picked me up at around 6pm/7pm, my nose was red. I didn't notice until she told me so, and when I touched it... It hurt. No amount of aloe vera is ever an excessive amount, you always need some either in the car, at home, or somewhere in your bedroom because sun burns are absolutely no fun. I'm fortunate enough to never have experienced a full back sun burn, but I have experienced it on my shoulders the one day we were out and the one off chance I was wearing a tank top.

Please please please, always remember the sunscreen. If the sun is out, the screen is up. ❤️

That phrase is what helped me avoid getting sunburned anymore then once a summer.

It is a pretty fascinating channel, all the history behind food is something we do not think of when we eat. 

Some foods, like emapandas, were originally made to carry food in a portable and coinvent way to feed soldiers during wars. 

And others still, like Greek new year cake, are made specifically for holidays or to enjoy cultural traditions.  

 

It's a warm sunny day here too.

I hope to clean my room today, maybe read the Bible more

morning all.

 

i finally gave Luna the Advantage late last night, because she was actually letting me pet her without getting skittish, and since i'd already tried earlier last night, the little tube was already open, and she didn't run away, so yaaay!

 

also, our old lady Angel had been very sus about the food we were giving her that has her meds in it (for her thyroid), and i'd asked the vet for some other suggestions.  we would mash this small itty-bitty quarter of a pill with a little bit of her canned food, and she would take like 10 minutes just to eat this tiny bit.  and when you have other cats milling about, 10 minutes can feel twice as long.  but the vet suggested maybe giving her the pill in something like cream cheese, or kitten food. as i'd picked up my shopping yesterday, i added a can of kitten food to what i ended up going in the store for, and then when i got home, i offered Angel some cream cheese on my finger.... she was totally NOT interested! (but Aemon was! )  and then at dinner, i gave her the pill with a little bit of kitten food..... and she ate it right up!  and then this morning, hubby gave her the kitten food with the pill again, and when i texted how it went? she's shlurped it right up again with the kitten food! i think we have a winner.... for now!

 

also - i hatched my NR dragons! yaay!

i'm calculating that TJ's new ones will be adults tomorrow morning, and then i can decide if i want more of which ones.

7th time was the charm with this pair! https://dragcave.net/progeny/3tnYI

 

They finally gave me the gold Lunar Herald egg I was needing for my lineage project. Now I have 4/4 2G's and 1/2 3G's. Only 2 more dragons to go and I will have my first complete lyrical lineage!

 

[trystan]

that's awesome, Snow!

 

i'll be breeding Simon and Kaylee shortly for my last 2G Seawyrm.  if i can wait, i'll breed the 3Gs once this one grows up.  if i can wait, that is.....

i'm already getting twitchy waiting to find out what the NR dragons are, so i can name them!

Good afternoon, CPA!

Cloudy, gloomy day here. We are supposed to get some rain later, which would be welcome as it has been pretty dry.

 

Spent the morning with a friend. She has a lot of health issues and now is dealing with breast cancer. She had a lumpectomy and will start at least 5 weeks of radiation next week. She is very stressed. Her hubby has serious health problems as well, so there is plenty of room for anxiety.

 

I'm tired today and don't really feel like mopping floors and such, which is what I really should be doing. Much more fun to play with dragons!

As far as I know yes, she is feeling better (she lives with Bio mom, but her dad and I are hoping to change that soon) Mom thinks she was just "overheated" (but my house was 68 degrees and she hadn't be outside or doing anything really, she had JUST woken up) *eyeroll* I think it was either a 24hr stomach bug or something she ate.

Izzy, was it just a fever or did she have some other symptoms? 

My middle child used to run a lot of fevers, with no other symptoms. The ped said some kiddos just run what they call "phantom fevers" and there is no illness. 

I just found this lineage and it is really making me giggle.
