"No man is free who is not master of himself..."

Yes, if you guessed Chinese food delivered via China City tonight. I do believe that meant man or woman collectively; at least I should hope so, in this our 21st century!
Fortune cookies are so profound at times, or not.
“People rise to your expectations.”
Sounds so powerful and almost dictatorial, hmm?
Well, if it is a parental thing than, okay, we should all have our children listen to us, but then again why would we want for them not to think for themselves, no that is sooo wrong too!

Moving on…
I have found a jeweler in Punta Gorda that had fixed other jewelry a while back for us, while you wait and we were going to go there today, but of course something postponed it…
The automatic chlorinator in our pool didn’t seem to be working the pool had a nasty cloudy appearance to it and Hubby had to take it apart to clean it but it is nearly seven years old and we may have to get another one… Consequently, we are now in a wait and see mode. Meanwhile, Hubby improvised with a piece of netting and our very large chlorine tablets that he strung from the railing of the steps into the pool. He also bought heavy duty shocking liquid chemical and so it will take some time to work.
Any-way, we decided to go over to the jewelry store next week, and at the very least find out the prices for the repairs.

I did do something that I hadn’t done in quite sometime I found a couple (2) of summer short sleeved dresses and a cardigan online to purchase at a site called of all things: http://www.drleonards.com/ Have any of you used this site or this company before?

I sure hope they look good on me and fit right, Geez, what a chance I am taking, hmm?
Sort of exciting as if I am doing something dangerous! Sometimes we need that, hmm? Wild child that I am these days, as we both know that I am kidding…what happened to that girl or did she ever exist; NAH!
The company sounds legit and the shipping was free over a certain amount and I made that, but I am to get a ten dollar discount back too.
They are out of Edison New Jersey, and so how could you go wrong? LOL!
Being a New Jersey girl/woman/old lady, what-have-you, I guess I was a sucker for a hometown, not mine but I suppose it would be more right to say a home state business, we will see.
I charged it and with all my concerns I already spoke to customer service at my credit card company and they assured me not to worry, if for any reason something is askew I am protected and won’t have to pay, whew!
I just remembered it was nearly eight years since I bought clothes online!
We, Hubby and I, both have bought lotsa of other stuff, but not clothes.
The eating out seems to be going rampant, hmm?
With my weight concerns it seems rather wrong, but I had steamed shrimp with steamed Chinese vegetables called the dieter’s delight and Hubby had their barbecue ribs admittedly I stole a few, we did share the vegetables that also came with white rice but neither of us ate the rice.
Still quite a bit left for another meal though, you know it is always that way when we buy their sumptuous cuisine.
And the eating out thingy when you are unable to move as well as you would like to or stand for long at all, and guilt with having Hubby having to do meals much too often it is nice to have the break of no guilt with planning your daily sustenance every once in while, if not more often, hmm?
It is so much easier when you have barely any dishes to do and pots etc… you all know what I mean…as much as we both enjoy cooking and we really do, sometimes it is good to support local business and have that time off of preparation for other things, true? It saves utilities in your own home too, so it is green to do!
If you believe that one I’ve got some swamp land to sell you in Florida! Nope, it’s all built up and we don’t have any, anyway, wish I did before it got built up… like many places in good ole NJ too! Oh, of course, we still have the Everglades, here in Florida and they are a lot of swamp land there for your joy to visit!

On that something to consider, allow me to be the first to wish you all a very happy good night and ask you kindly to count all your blessings and share those overages and we will too!
See what a difference a day makes?

And next time please be here or be square, ya hear?

PS Just a friendly reminder:
Tonight is Daylight Saving’s and so we Spring ahead one hour remember all in these USA!
