Good Morning. Numbers    Trimm sorry to hear about your neighbor having a rough time last night 

Thanks NoRose.She was having a hard time.The parents went and picked up their son's things at the Sheriff's Department.They are divorced but decided to go together and talk it over.That is good that they have a decent relationship.
I guess it is better to deal with this now and try to move forward.It will take time to process it.

Yes, and I'm glad the parents have a decent relationship.

U.S. runs low on sugar, get ready for high prices

The United States is facing a major sugar shortage, according to the Wall Street Journal (subscription may be required).

On Aug. 5, General Mills, Hershey Co, Mars Inc., and Kraft Foods alerted Thomas J. Vilsak, the secretary of the U.S. Department of Agriculture, of their combined forecast of low sugar supplies. These food companies warned that if the Agriculture Department does not allow them to import more tariff-free sugar, "our nation will virtually run out of sugar" and they will be forced to raise consumer prices and lay off workers.

This comes as a major eye opener, but there's more to this finding.

The WSJ states that the present trade quota places a limit to the number of tariff-free sugar that can be imported per year, with the exception of Mexico. This leaves major suppliers like Brazil out of the free trade mix. The fear looms that Brazil may not even have significant sugar supply for the U.S. because they are busy using large amounts of cane crop for ethanol use.
Another problem is the U.S. government; not a surprise. The U.S. artificially inflates domestic prices of sugar in order to support the incomes of farmers in the Midwest who are friendly with politicians who help them. Anything for a vote, right?

Economists state that sugar is part of the equation. Sugar is an active ingredient in almost all foods, and the impact of a price increase will be big. Food companies pay twice the world level for sugar because of government meddling.

Unless politicians in Washington decide to ease import quotas, the "U.S. will end the next fiscal year with less than 13 days worth of sugar on hand" according to the four food companies who band together to ring the alarm atop Capitol hill.


NoRose,we better get to Walmart and buy all the twinkies and buddy bars we can carry.   

  Goverment meddling? Who would have thought. H*ll we are going to be like North Korea with people starving if the goverment keeps this up.

Good Morning. Numbers    Trimm sorry to hear about your neighbor having a rough time last night 

Good Morning No Rose. I feel so badly for Trimm's neighbor.

How is your daughter this morning? I hope she and your husband had a good night last night. 

They did, thank-you. She is still sleeping  I wish that was me in the bed.

That's nice, I glad they did. I wish I were sleeping too!

Joseff would never allow that.   

Nope, we have been out twice already this morning. 

Digger just brought home the neighbors doxie for a visit.Owner just picked her up.   

[no rose colored glasses]

Oh how funny, they just wanted to hang out for awhile.

Have fun JSM.   
I gotta go work on the shower door,while hubby buy groceries. 
He can't use his tools very good right now,but I can.   
Be back in a little while.

[Babybear]

Well, I took Charlie out at 10 instead of 11.  So, at 4:30 he starts kissing me in the face so I took him out then. Then at 7:30 he started it again.  He didn't do anything this time, just sniffed around to see if other animals had been there overnight.  Then, at 8:30 He decided it was time for us to get up.

You know, I wouldn't put up with this from a husband.

[Tevye]

Tevye I sent you a email on Thursday night. Did you get it? If not I will try sending it again. My yahoo is a POS. JSM

JSM, yes, I did get (and saved) it. I was so busy getting our grandson ready to send him back to his folks in Alaska that all I've had time to do is cry and pack and cry and go to the airport and cry and track his flight in real time and cry and talk to him "on the ground" in Anchorage and cry and cry and cry that I haven't gotten around to dealing with my personal "stuff". I think maybe some of the crying was over the personal stuff too....but it was to HARD to walk into the house and know he wasn't here and won't be back for a long time.

So, today I'm gonna buy an iPod knock off (and I'm a total Apple fangirl, tpying this on a Macbook Pro...but hate the restrictions Apple places on their pods) and load it with  a couple of Dr. Who episodes, some Dixie chicks, Rehab, Tom Petty....my fighting music. I have a feeling I'll be spending a lot of time in doctor's offices, and when I'm doing that, I can't concentrate on homework, so need something to keep me from being the waiting room b!tch. (Ahhhh...Fanny, you'd be so proud of that last run on sentence!)

So, later today, I'll email you all my questions. Thanks!

I don't know if Charlie does this, but Zoe can literally stand in one place and sniff a bush or a blade of grass to the point of insanity. I've never seen a dog like her before that does this, when we take a walk, we really don't walk, we stop and sniff constantly. We call her Sherlock Holmes, the way she examines every little thing  The other day at a fire hydrant she sniffed the whole thing, I don't think she missed one spot of it.

That sounds like a good idea, I'm sorry your grandson lives so far away from you

I agree.Load up the music.I wish your grandson lived closer.

Also for Trimm:
Who knew someone would actually have an ipod on sale? (shhhh...don't tell hubby), and a case for it that was PINK?! Pink not because of the bc, but because we finally got a granddaughter last year, I decided I really do like pink! Pink mouse, pink case for my MacBook...pink almost anything. So. long story short, not only can I listen to music on this thing I can watch Dr. Who and whatever else on it! Think it's gonna be a tech day...busy my mind to not miss the little dude.

I have been very busy in real life but wanted to let you all know that I read when I can and I miss you when I can't.  Trimm, you and your friends have been in my thoughts and prayers so often.  When I was in high school, I had a friend that killed himself over speeding tickets.  Such a tragedy.  I hope your friends can find peace in time and I think they are very lucky to have you and your family in their lives.  I don't have many real life friends, my family is my life.  I haven't worked in years and my best friend passed away years ago.  I wish I had someone like you in my life.  Tevye, your bravery amazes me, I try to laugh along with you but have to admit that I am just not as brave as you.  I am praying for you.  To all monkeys that have asked for my prayers, be assured they have been given. 

To all the monkeys that have asked about my daughter, everything is going fine for now.  She is still going with the 2vbac and God willing that is what is going to happen.  Her due date is Sept 1st but she is hoping for earlier.  She was hoping to move before the new baby, so I got a late start on sewing for her nursery.  That is what is keeping me away from my monkeys...but I have to admit, I am loving doing it.  She used all store bought Classic Winnie the Pooh for the first two and she is going with a vintage Apple Hill nursery by OshKosh Baby, we have been lucky enough to get most of the items off of EBay and I am making wall decor and curtains and pillows and such.  If I ever figure out how to show pictures here, I will show you all, the finished room.

I hope it is ok to post this here and in Musings, I get so confused between the two.  Who asked me what and who said what and where, lol.  Just know that wherever my monkeys are, I treasure you and miss you.  Hope to be done sewing soon.

Hugs, Magic

Sorry he had to leave you Tevye. That is the best thing you could do is buy something like that. Especially if you can watch videos to take your mind of things. Email when you get a chance. JSM
