I got both of us ready and we were at the doctor's office at 1 (for a 1:30 appointment).Melinda and I had a good talk with the doctor, Melinda had lab work and a renewed prescription.

On the way home yesterday, we stopped for a burger and to pick up Melinda's meds. As soon as we got home, she took a 3 hour nap, woke up feeling better, watched TV, ate again, slept all night.

Blue Bell has really pissed me off about the way they've responded.

Blue Bell Creameries is expanding its recall to include banana pudding-flavored ice cream made at the company's Broken Arrow, Oklahoma, facility after the product tested positive for listeria monocytogenes on Tuesday.
The company asked retailers on Monday to remove all products produced at the Oklahoma facility between Feb. 12 and March 27.

Since Feb 12th? I've bought Blue Bell twice since then. "If I ain't dead already, girl you know the reason why"

When I went to Kroger this evening, the self serve checkout told me to check my receipt for important messages. My receipt had a long list of Blue Bell products that Kroger had already pulled from their shelves.

The Judgement -
The Clinging. Perseverance furthers.
It brings success.
Care of the cow brings good fortune.
The Image -
That which is bright rises twice:
The image of Fire.
Thus the great man, by perpetuating this brightness,
Illumines the four quarters of the world.

ATTACHED TO / THE CLINGING / FIRE
Li indicates that, in regard to what it denotes, it will be advantageous to be firm and correct, and that thus there will be free course and success. Let its subject also nourish a docility like that of the cow, and there will be good fortune.

KING WAN'S EXPLANATION OF THE HEXAGRAM
Li means being attached to. The sun and moon have their place in the sky. All the grains, grass, and trees have their place on the earth. The double brightness of the two trigrams adheres to what is correct, and the result is the transforming and perfecting all under the sky.
The weak second line occupies the middle and correct position, and gives the indication of a free and successful course; and, moreover, nourishing docility like that of the cow will lead to good fortune.

Has anyone successfully backed up more than 10000 items by deleting entries. From the API documentation, you can delete entries via the API, but you can also undelete them if you keep the entry id. That seems to indicate that the entries are still there and therefore, the API wouldn't allow you to retrieve additional entries.
- Greg GuitarBuster
Yes, which is what I did, for myself, though I just let the old stuff vanish from the site, and brought some of it back when I wanted to reference it. The cost becomes substantial, after the first 10000 items. Every page of 100 items, requires 100 + 1 requests, which makes it 100 times more costly, or 200 times if you want to bring that data back.

They deposited a BIG check (like 3 months worth of retirement benefits). They should have held on to 4 months of benefits to pay the excess earnings penalty. So now, I'll have to repay the 3 months. They will then probably start over with trying to withhold 4 months again. WTF. I was prepared for not receiving the 4 months, but they've totally messed up again.

Miranda: I don't want to go outside, I want to sit on the screened patio. And play with this empty plastic flower pot. Oh, the flowerpot isn't empty. Oops. Oh well, it is now.
We are happy to report that Thay’s health has continued to improve at the specialist stroke rehabilitation clinic in Bordeaux, where he has been steadily recovering his strength.
In the warm spring weather in the last few weeks, Thay has been able to enjoy going outside, sitting under a tree and listening to birdsong, drinking a cup of tea and enjoying the sound of the bell.
This week the medical team have given their approval for Thay to leave the rehabilitation clinic and return to his Hermitage at Plum Village. We are deeply grateful to the entire medical team at the University Hospital in Bordeaux for their professionalism and wholehearted care to support Thay’s healing over the past four and half months.
Thay expressed his clear wish to return home, and arrived on Friday April 3, in time to enjoy the beautiful magnolia blossoms and the first spring leaves as they unfurl. We are all very glad that Thay can come back to his spiritual home, where his devoted team of monastic attendants are continuing to support him and care for him 24 hours a day, under the guidance of visiting doctors and nurses.
