Day Fifty: Yep, hit the big Five Oh today... Days are becoming less productive... fought with online banking for the better half of the day. Stopped by the post office the other day on the way home and picked up the stack-o-bills. Hence the online banking today, 2 new bank cards to activate, unlike the mess the other day when they send me a card to an account that the computer created on it's own in a spasm when first setting up the account with their crappy web site... grrr... ok after being on hold for an hour, they figured it out, reversed the bogus charges, send a new card... did I mention we got cards in the mail... so now the button that was supposed to be there for the other card but wasn't mysteriously appeared. I'm not an old fart that's inept when it comes to online shit... but you can't generate a button that the code is not producing... well at least not from my end with my limited access to the banks programming. But all came out in the wash, sent money everyplace, even to myself, which I then sent to other people to pay more bills... Did I mention I picked up the mail? Oh and Heather got a box, I should tell her about that... likely the yarn she ordered for the new blanket... she's doing it in the family tartan, should be interesting. After Banking I cleaned the fridge... now let me tell you, it's a fair size... the size that things go in and get lost. Honestly that's not always a good feature. But today's mission was the stuff in the door. Ask me, hey Rod, what do you keep in the door of the fridge? Well I'm here to tell you, it's something else, a world of never ending happiness... sorry went a little crazy there for a second. The door of the fridge contains the shelf dedicated to different types of vinegar, a section that houses butter/blocks of Crisco, our refrigerated herbs and spices, and a lower shelf that we mostly ignore... that's the one that was the concern today. After all it's space in the fridge that could be used for something more important than stuff we never use. What put me on this track was looking for a container to put the Italian Dressing I made the other day in... so that shelve mostly housed the old bottles of dressing that we never use, mostly because they suck, but the nail in the coffin is what's in the bottle. We read labels now and I can safely say none of those things wouldn't have made it into the house on one of today's shopping trips, high carb, high cal, reduced for quick sale labels... seriously? How long does a bottle of dressing have to sit in the store before they put a reduced sale sticker on it? Sure it was cheap but... SO... out of the dozen bottles I tossed out today the most current expiration date was 2017... some dated back to 2013... We don't eat it... Lawson has never liked 'Sauce' on any of his foods... so they sit there in the door and are mostly ignored... at least for the last 5 years or so. Did you know there were 5 bottles of Ketchup in there? Still is actually. One was sugar free, ok so that's different, we use it... but then there are those times when you are out of town or camping and Lawson needs some ketchup on something we make, so you just buy another bottle... 5. The Vinegar shelf expanded into the new real-estate in the fridge... don't ask. Threw a load of dishes through the dishwasher... haven't opened it yet to see if it worked... a tomorrows project. Lawson ran out of the homemade bread today, might have to do something about that tomorrow.
