What Might Have Been . . .
Jan’s been a little under the weather for the last couple of days. Night before last she woke up about 1am with a migraine coming, which I think is a first for one starting in the middle of the night.
She was OK yesterday, but then woke up this morning feeling bad again. So bad she didn’t even want coffee this morning, but she did have some cheese toast later in the day.
Hopefully she’ll back to normal tomorrow.

As Sheldon says, ”Everything’s better with Bluetooth.”
And apparently that includes First Response Pregnancy Pro pregnancy test
Now with Bluetooth!
So now, after you pee on the stick, or dip it in the cup, you can wander off and wait for the stick to contact the downloaded app on your phone with the results, via Bluetooth.
And even better, the app has Wait Time Support, where the app provides distractions to help reduce stress while waiting. I mean, are we talking Solitaire, or a short story to read, or what?
And while we’re on the subject, did you know that there was a unaired pilot f or The Big Bang Theory done in 2006, before the series we know and love debuted in 2007.
The first pilot of what will become “The Big Bang Theory”. Leonard and Sheldon are two awkward scientists who share an apartment. They meet a drunk girl called Katie and invite her to stay at their place, because she has nowhere to stay. The two guys have a female friend, also a scientist, called Gilda.
The unaired pilot was available at one time on a Big Bang Theory Bonus DVD, but it is currently not available.
But you can watch a couple of video clips from that pilot here.
Seeing what might have been, I’m really glad they didn’t go with the first idea.
And as it turns out, a lot of well-known TV shows had unaired pilots, including The Munsters, All in the Family, and Gilligan’s Island. You can read more here.

All I’m saying is, at any point during that ride through the desert, he could have given the horse a name.

A Close Call . . .
Or Thank Goodness For Whipping Cream.
Around 4pm Jan and I headed out for Sealy, about 30 miles back east on I-10. We wanted to get some stuff at Wal-Mart, and the one in Sealy is a full SuperCenter, and not a mini SuperCenter like the one in La Grange. And the one in Sealy is only about 4 miles further away.
But first we had planned on eating at the Whataburger, but ended up at the Hinze’s BBQ right next door.
We haven’t eaten at a Hinze’s in years, and never at this one. But we used to eat at one near Katy when we would visit Brandi the first time she lived in the Katy area. But then it closed, so that was it.
Jan had a Sliced Brisket Sandwich with Fried Okra and French Fries, while I had the 2 Meat Plate with Sliced Brisket and Ribs, and Bacon & Onion Potatoes and Green Beans.
Everything was good, especially the Potatoes and Green Beans. The BBQ was pretty good, but not Rudy’s or Peter’s good. But good.
Leaving Hinze’s, we headed right across the street to the Wal-Mart for a few things, before gassing up and heading back home to the rig. Then getting back home and unloading the groceries, it happened.
As I was bringing in a couple of bags, Miss Karma got loose by jumping out the little sliding window in the screen door. She hit the ground and then froze, looking around with eyes the size of quarters. But before I could get to her, she turned and ran under the rig.
I called to her a couple of times, and she would stick her head out for a minute and then retreat. And the next time I looked under the rig, she had disappeared. But as I figured she had just jumped up on the front axle to hide.
So I asked Jan to to hand out the secret weapon from the fridge.
Karma has been crazy for Whipping Cream since the first time she tasted some. In fact, I can even make the “squaawk!” sound and she will come running. So I got down at the front of the rig and squirted some out on the gravel.
But as Karma started to creep forward to the cream, a guy came by walking two small, loudly barking dogs. Karma immediately freaked and ran back under the rig.
So I started all over again, coaxing her out again. But just about then the guy came back by with the #%#$ dogs.
But finally after about 15 minutes I lured her out far enough to grab her and get her back inside the rig.
Glad that’s over.
Brandi and Lowell have introduced us to a new drink. It’s called Jin+Ja and it’s delicious. And very spicy.
It’s made from Fresh Ginger, Cayenne Pepper, Green Tea, Lemon & Mint. It’s supposed to be good for your digestion and metabolism. We haven’t been taking it for that long, so we can’t answer to how good it is for you, but it is tasty.
And with the fresh ginger, and the cayenne pepper, especially the cayenne, it packs a real kick. But it’s very refreshing at the same time.
It’s available on line, and in some stores. Check it out.
Thought for the Day:
Jan and I thought the recipe looks just about perfect.
