    2:22pm and 78f!  Too warm to open the window, which I shoukdn't do anyway being sick.  Kow tonight 54f. Groceries arrived, now have turnips, olive oil mayo, fava beans, green tea bags and double bergamot Earl Grey!  I'm trying to just use the Keurig to make hot water as apparently k-cup pods do not recycle. :(

    After some sleep, feeling better, still watery itchy eyes amd runny nose. No tea worries now, thankfully.

    More napping needed...

    Check your local grocer. I know that there are reusable kits for Keurig type machines. Melitta makes one, and there are some no-name versions as well. You can also get it here ===>  https://www.walmart.com/ip/Melitta-JavaJig-Reusable-Coffee-Filter-System-1-0-PACK/22017636 Apparently Wally-World is out of stock, but I'm sure other retailers still have some. I saw them in Safeway (Albertsons). 

    Those look pretty interesting.. I wonder if they work in my Keurig 2.0? The damn thing won't use just any pod, the pod has to be 'tagged' so the machine knows it's a licensed manufacturer.. one more reason to just use it for hot water. :|

    DRM coffee was one of the dumbest marketing ploys I've ever seen. You can get around it by taking one of your licensed cups and just taping the bit of the lid that it scans right on to the scanner.

    ...yeah right up there with "chic" bottled water.

     

    with the bubbles?

    ...that too. 

    I'll never forget many many years ago there was a blind taste test and the majority surveyed chose NYC tapwater over Perrier

    Mary Queen of Scotts wasn't really a queen, or even Scottish, right? 
    the movie made no sense to me, saw it like 30 years ago.

    Wow! Whomever mentioned strawberries as low sugar was right!!! 0.6 grams of sugar per berry, so now I have a tasty fruit I can safely eat!  Thanks to whomever posted strawberries!

    Will need to head to the pharmacy soon to pick up meds, Icy Hot, and some kind of chip for dipping.  BBQ sauce and salsa out for delivey, oh boy!!!  Also sausage gift pack from Amazon should arrive today or tomorrow, so I'll be well-fed if nothing else.

    Emails, more emails, emails about emails, so many loose ends to tie up after over a year of work,  What a bother, but it'l billable hours so I should just shut up...

     

    ..still getting "fallout" from "Giving Tuesday".  Usually when I wake up I have about 50 - 60 emails (thanks in part to being 3 hours behind the east coast) however the last couple mornings, it's been over 100.

    Tuesday the count was somewhere between 400 and 500 by day's end.

    Yeah Strawberries are great, but it's the whipped creme and shortcake that kicks the ol' blood sugar up for me.

    I didn't get too many begs on Giving Tuesday, just about 10, but there's been an increase in email from people concerned about my sexual health and my breast size. :|

    I eat strawberries straight, just rinse 'em and go!

    Complaint: too warm in my room, but then it's 77f outside and the Sun hits me directly for about 2-3 hours across Noon.

    Non-complaints: raspberry/peach chipotle bbq sauce, Texas mesquite bbq sauce, and medium hot tomatillo salsa arrived!!!

    Yes, she was - Queen of Scotland, mother of James VI (James I of england after the death of Elizabeth I). Also Queen of France for a while. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mary,_Queen_of_Scots

    ...went off yesterday to the local "Cash & Carry" which is an outlet primarily for restaurants but is open to the public.  Great prices, loaded up on things for the next month that are otherwise horribly expensive at regular supers. Got more coconut milk for curries (3 cans for about what one would cost at Safeway), 5# bag of sushi rice for the price of a 2# bag, rice stick noodles at 1/3 the price, and a nice big foodservice container for for my rolled oats (no more worrying about the bag splitting open as I buy them in bulk which is a lot cheaper than the pre packaged ones). 

    A good portion of what they sell though is in big lots/containers for the restaurant industry which I'd never use up before it went bad, like 10# bags of shredded parmesan, 60 oz cans of chili, 5 gal of soy sauce, and 5# blocks of creme cheese.  They also have foodservice supplies as well such as various utensils, mixing bowls, storage containers, dishware, serving containers, and catering supplies, all at pretty reasonable prices. 

    They've been my "go to" place for a lot of Asian ingredients since most of the small mom & pop Asian groceries I used to shop at were priced out of the city and either moved to the outer burbs or went out of business.

    And so, the contract ends.  I'll submit a timecard for thr 4 days this week next Friday, and the last bit of business is done.

    Let the drinking begin! Going to open my last bottle of Arrogant Bastard and toast myself for leaving behind a very happy customer who will be a fantastic reference. :)

    Now days of slackinn off until I can't stand it any more. Hee hee!Now to decide on what kind of pizza.. definitely no shrimp, but maybe ham and italian sausage... yummmmm..

    okay thanks. smiley

    The history of England, Scotland, Wales, is murky in our high school history.  every school grade, history only went up to the American civil war.  not the 1960s stuff, 1860s.  hopefully school thesae days is more up to date.

    math help  woes  crying 

    google spreadsheet has a chart to stack percentages to a 100%
    the foxtrot chart won't display the value as a percent, it will show the % if hovered over number. 

    so now i'm stuck making a formula to show the percent of a 100.

    but i can't find how to stack it to a 100.

    so like Year To Date hours = like 300 in one category, and 500 in a 2nd category.  
    so like how to calculate those values in percentages to = 100%???????

    Percentage of what?  You need a nuber to compare the category value to in order to get a percentage.  For example, 300 out of how many possible?  1000?  Then that's 30%  but without knowing the 1000, there's no way to calculate a percentage.  The problem is not well defined here.

    there's a cell with hours worked and a 2nd cell  with hours worked.  i'm pointing to those 2 cells.
    count of 2 will be constant.  trying to get the percentage of both values to a total percent of a 100%

    doesn't need calculus right?  didn't do well in calc.  what was Newton talking about?  lol

    No calculus, simple algebra.  Very simple.  I hate algebra.

    Well, if 800 hours is 100%, that's easy...

    300/800 = x/100

    ============================

    30,000 = 800x

    ============================

    30,000 / 800 = x

    ============================

    x = 37.5%

    But if 800 is not the 100% value, then I still can't help you.

    ..well was bored last night and did some "memory lane walking" on YouTube and Google images.

    Bugger, maybe going back to my old hood might not be a bad idea,  Found several nice houses for sale at less than you'd pay for one of those "tiny houses" here in Portland.

    For example the house below which, is in very nice condition, would easily go for 375,000$ - 400,000$ here in Portland.  On the south side of Milwaukee where it is located (very near to where I grew up): 104,000$

    It has 4 bedrooms 1 bath, is 1,220 Sq ft, and is on a 4,360 sq ft lot with gas heat and cooking as well as it's in a nice safe neighbourhood with good transit access (2 bus routes). Average monthly cost (including principal, interest, insurance, and property tax) is 690$.  Here in Portland you are lucky to find a single bedroom in a shared house for that.  I could almost swing this on my Social Security.
