A Neon Addition . . .
A number of our readers have noticed that they’re not receiving the blog via email. The problem is with the Jetpack WordPress Plug-in. I think I got a bad update download, so I’ve been trying to get a new copy installed and set up. The only problem is that I can’t tell if the email problem is actually fixed until I post a blog. Which is once a day, so it’s kind of hard to test it out. But hopefully it’s working now.
Well I had hoped I was done with the Post Office until tomorrow, but I got a call from work today with another Post Office crisis. So Jan and I headed into Webster about 12:30 to try and sort things out before we had lunch.
I put in another call to the P.O. Tech Support, but went round and round until I finally asked to be bumped up to the next level of Tech Support, so I was given a Service Request# and told to wait for them to contact me.
I’m still waiting.
So while we were waiting, we had lunch at Twin Peaks once again. And once again, Jan got her Spicy Chipotle Chicken and a cup of Tomato Basil Soup.
And since they recently discontinued my fav Venison Chili and Half Wedge Salad, I once again got the Soup and Half-Sandwich Lunch Special, with a bowl of the Green Chili Chicken Soup and a half BLT sandwich.
Then it was back over to work to see if the PO had any new ideas, but no luck. So I did try a couple of things myself, also with no luck.
Back at it tomorrow, I guess.
A recent University of Michigan study of over 5800 foods rates them according to how much time they add or substract from your life expectancy.
For example, the study says that eating 1 hot dog takes 35 minutes off life, but peanut butter and jelly sandwiches were associated with an increase of 33 minutes. And a serving of nuts adds about 20 minutes.
So I could have a hot dog and 2 servings of nuts, and come out 5 minutes ahead. Or maybe just two PB&J’s and come out even better.
A new addition to the Flamboyance.
