For gardeners, this is a free shipping offer from my favorite seed source
Renee's Garden [reneesgarden.com]
to 4/22

Good quality seed, many varieties and some she developed. I can't even find patty pan squash seed anymore, what I find in the stores has been severely reduced.
She's local to me, in the Santa Cruz mountains (Felton) but I'm not sure that would have any impact on how well her seed performs in other zones

Shipping is usually only free if you spend $50 or more, this goes to 4/22

and I suppose I should include that this "testimonial" was not solicited or compensated. Nor does Renee have a clue I wrote it.

Vons has Kevin's curry chicken on sale today (Friday) for $5. This is a great price! Vons is normally $12 and Costco is around $10. The reviews for Kevin's are good and I've tried it and have no complaints. Coke 12-packs are on sale today for $5 wyb 5. This certainly isn't a run deal but it's a good price if you're out. Dreyer's ice cream is $2.99 ea wyb 2 (limit 2) all week. Yum!

I'm not sure about ALL flavors, but Dreyers has gone the way of Breyers and says "frozen dessert" instead of ice cream. The lowfat still says "light ICE CREAM".

I've had Kevins a time or 2, not sure I've had the curry, but Suhki's when they have $5.is really good. I usually get Tikka Masala but there's a coconut curry that's quite tasty.

Dreyer's does have kind of a funky taste but it's still something I will buy if it's on sale. However, Breyers and Signature (the Vons brand) are awful. I finally got my $10 gift card
from Game On. It only took 5 months lol.

I love Sukhi's. I might have to get a larger refrigerator the next time it goes on sale. I did try their tikka masala and it was outstanding. Better than their curry chicken (but not by much). I also tried Trader Joe's tikka masala and it wasn't even close. Sukhi's won in a landslide.

I got 4 different Kevins this week from Kroger marked down for $3.15. I am kinda excited to try them, yet I dont think I have liked any I had in the past. Later, another store had bigger versions normally $15 for 5 something but I decided not to get any of them.

I have tried 1 kind of Suhki's from a rebate app freebie and I did like it. My Kroger stopped carrying it.

SPOILER ALERT. I watched the Netflix documentary about the unsolved murder of British journalist Jill Dando in 1999. I'll save you 3 hours - the guy they pinned it on was a total creep but probably didn't do it. I highly doubt that it was the Serbs. The police dismissed her ex-boyfriend/boss and agent way too soon. Dando gave a $35,000 check to her ex-boyfriend right before her murder and the agent was the only person who knew where Dando would be that morning. It has been rumored that Dando was working on a major sex crimes case at the time of her death. In light of what we now know about Jeffrey Epstein, it makes me wonder...

I am not shopping the stores much any more. Of course we have to have groceries and a few other things, but lately we've been going to estate sales and I've been finding full, unopened containers of things like windshield washer fluid, goo gone, trash bags and masking tape for $1 or $2. Even though many have food items, I don't tend to find searching the expiration dates to be worth the effort. And we are not usually in line when they open, so the unopened packages of foil, plastic wrap, ziploc bags and things like that are usually going out the door when we're going in.

While I was in the hospital, I watched a lot of tv. It was mostly FBI and Guy Fieri. I really enjoyed FBI but the new Guy Fieri show wasn't very good. I should say that I really enjoyed FBI compared to the alternatives. I'd rather watch commercials than most of the other shows. FBI isn't loved on reddit. In fact, they call it the worst cop show ever. The funny thing is that they all know what happens on every episode. I guess a tv show doesn't have to be good if it keeps you watching...

Ok, I'll lay into FBI. Isobel had me wanting to rip out my IV, OA is such a dick, and Jubal wants to be Bruce Buffer. On every show, the FBI saves the world with only seconds to spare. On one show, Maggie shoots the lady in the leg and then runs into the house to either find the bomb or save the kid (I forget which). Maggie left the lady's gun where she could've picked it up and shot Maggie. I don't think that a real FBI agent would be so careless. If she was, she wouldn't be around for the next episode.

I was thinking of you and wondering if you were in the hospital. I sure hope it helped.

I have something called wide complex tachycardia. I have no idea what it is other than it's not good. I'll probably need surgery in a couple of weeks. I'm on some heavy meds (amiodarone and a couple of others) and I'm having some side effects. I wasn't expecting to have another heart disorder. My EKG's hadn't picked it up until now.

I watched a lot of commercials while I was in the hospital (lucky me). TNT takes the award for the longest block of commercials. They can throw 10 minutes of commercials at you before the program comes back on. Here's a list of some bad commercials that I watched.

1. Dominos - if they took out the "mmm" it would still be bad.

2. The commercial with the guy trying to do a symphony with coffee cups.

3. Febreze with la la la la la.

4. Progressive

5. Liberty Mutual

6. Jardiance

7. Ore-Ida fries with the weird looking guy dressed up in costumes.

8. Colonial Penn

9. Anything with Charles Barkley.

10. The French Open tennis commercial. It would be ok without the song.

11. The doctors from Scrubs

12. Amazon with the poison ivy. It's so gross that I have to turn off the tv.

13. Bob's Furniture with Oh My Bob (instead of God)

14. Anything with Kevin Hart

15. Women's basketball. The commercial says that it starts NOW (I saw it on Wednesday) but the broadcast is on Sunday. I mean, how stupid can they be?

16. What's in your wallet?

17. Drive Time used cars, That guy with the glasses is the worst.

18. Subaru. That guy in the car just sits there and looks dumb.

19. Anything with Rhianna

20. The Goonies one

There are a lot more but I'll stop at 20. They're in no particular order. I hate all of them.

Quote from FabulousPickle2826 :
I'm taking Hybrid Indica 10 mg THC gummies. It takes about 90 minutes for them to kick in. If I'm in a lot of pain and need quicker pain relief, I'll also take a couple of Percocets. I don't like taking Percocet but sometimes I don't have a choice. Fortunately, I'm not in the pain that I was in last week so I haven't taken anything since Saturday. I wanted to try CBD but the dispensary I went to doesn't carry it. All I know about D9 is that it's the legal THC and the amount you can have is regulated. If you have a suggestion about what I should get for pain relief the next time I go to the dispensary, I'll give it a try. I would also like something for sleep. I'm not a big fan of sleeping pills or melatonin and I'm definitely looking for an alternative. All of this stuff is more complicated for me because of my heart condition. I've asked my doctors about the gummies and while they can't tell me to take them, they didn't say not to. I like being able to regulate my own pain relief rather than asking a doctor for a prescription and then not getting what I need (for example, 5 mg instead of 10 mg). I've been off of all drugs (except what I took for my dental pain) for over a month. The gummies make me really high so I don't take them unless I've had a really bad day and I'm totally stressed out. The other thing is that it's hard not to gain a million pounds on the gummies. My appetite has really kicked up since I had the heart surgeries in Dec and Jan so the last thing I need is the munchies.
Sorry about the delay in responding. I had been traveling and prefer to only do SD on my computer so I havent been back until now. THCV should be an appetite suppressant. I havent tried it so I do not know if that would work for me but you may want to look for something with that if you are looking to avoid the munchies. Nano Delta 9 should be processed and hit faster. I just tried my first last night and I do think it hit faster. I took before bed. My tolerance is around 5 mg. If you are finding that you feel really high at 10mg, maybe cut back to 5 and see if that works for you.

A lot of gummies already have CBD with them. I have gummies that have CBDBig Grin9 in 1:1 ratios, 1:3 ratios and 1:5 ratios. I dont have any without any CBD actually. I also have CBD oil and I can supplement with that if the gummy alone isnt cutting it for me. I buy from Humble, Tillmans and Canna River. All online. I trust all three of these brands.

With your newer cardiac issues, this might not be the time to experiment with new supplements but I wanted you to at least have a reply for when you are ready. Take care.
