    Bleach should still help.

    If you're just looking to eliminate slippery moss on them try bleach and water. If they're discolored and you're looking to actually clean them, muriatic acid cleans a fireplace very nicely it might work for your patio.

    Thank you tim!

    In fairness, offering editing is frequently met with major attitude. One author replied to a pm offering my help with basically, to paraphrase, if he aint good enough for me to not read him. Was a great story but riddled with typos and basic grammatical errors. Another "gentleman" would comment on every error i missed, publically. A third would argue every correction I suggested. If someone asks, i am glad to help, but i dont offer any more. I'll go play with Rick's duck!

    Phone. Text. Facetime. Do what you can, and don't beat yourself up for what you can't.

    This is sauce season. Takes about 2 days from tomato to finished product, so i make huge batches and freeze in meal sized tubs. By frost i usually have enough to last to first tomatoes next year. Fruits go in season but not in that sort of quantity. With all this time on my hands with the pandemic, maybe i will make jelly this year. Haven't done that in ages, and found what looks like a good sugar free recipe. A single batch first to see if it firms up. I have not had good luck with sugar free jellies. They tend to come out more like syrup for me. Lol is great on pancakes!

    That's what I was thinking.

    I recall a sunday dinner chicken dish we needed to clean from walls and ceiling when i was about 20. The entire meal exited the pressure cooker via that spinny thingy, everything but the bones. Thats not quite true! I hear you make a killer tomato sauce, altho i do remember some concern regarding sharp knives and fingers

    Yay! Power is finally back on! Not too bad, just three days, not the week they told me yesterday! Now, how long does it take a hot water heater to heat? I have a hot shower calling my name!

    New generator is up and running. Got a larger one this time so we can do a bit more, like charge phones etc. Without needing to unplug refrigeration. Think in the am we will try tv and cable box to get the local news. On a wonderful note, the utility says they hope to have power restored by midnight next Tuesday. Yes you read that right, Tuesday 8/11

    Hey gang. Storm is gone and a beautifully sunny day in store, with cooler temps and lower humidity. Still no power, with no estimates when we will get it back, but thats ok, right? We have a generator for just such emergencies we fired up yesterday. Ran great, fridge and freezer are happy campers. Or were.shut the genie down at bedtime, and when we went to start it again this am its seized tight. And of course with an 18 hour head start there is not a generator left in stores around here. So much for emergency preparedness!

    This would seem to indicate a fear of lightning is NOT a phobia, since a phobia is an unreasoning fear. Actually seems pretty reasonable.

    Well, we just lost power, i am assuming due to the storm. So much for the 1:00 update! Here is hoping it is not as long as the last time a tropical system knocked out power. That was 12 days.

    <peeks out from under my rock> Jeez it is windy! Last time we had this much wind was Superstorm Sandy.

    Hard, but i would not trade the horses for a 3 figure salary. Some of the people, not so much.

    I was. Now I am riding out a case of the shivers in the ac.

    Morning chores with 100% humidity, which dropped as the temp rose over 90*, 2 trailers with 4 horses to a show by 9 am, and 17 ribbons later, stick a fork in me, I think I am done!

    Sunrise on the farm is so pretty. I just wish i wasnt at work an hour before it happens, especially this time of year. January i dont mind as much.

    Why do they always think they can lie to mommy? Gram used to tell us moms are walking lie detectors!

    I did not mean to say it is not dangerous. Things are relative. Like saying gun violence is scary, knowing it intellectually, but the reality is so much more visceral. I pray no one I know here ever finds themselves in the position I was in. The only good thing that came of my situation was that I know I can deal with pretty much anything life tosses.

    Cyber stalking seems pretty innocuous to me, but that is because I had to deal with the live version, and back before it was illegal to boot. Calls to the police got responses like "He hasn't done anything wrong yet." YET? trying to run me off the road is not wrong? Calling and threatening my life at 3 am is not wrong? Turning up everywhere I went is not wrong? I finally took matters into my own hands, and did something not QUITE legal, but it frightened him enough to leave me alone. I was quite relieved when I heard he had passed away a few months later.
