Something About Nothing ... #12

[Lynne G]

Keisha, you will have to let me know how Party goes. And, maybe a Dismeet during the October one. I bought for October 2 too.

I hear ya with SW direct flights. One at butt crack dawn or one at late night the only directs for most dates I look at. Very unhappy with the two or one direct flights out of at least seven or eight daily flights. Boo SW. But, our trip right after yours is a birthday one as well. Putting paychecks aside for rental car and hotel. Did pay off hotels for October though.

Sleep in late on Thusday. I hear ya. Which is why did not schedule party night I arrive.

Hope everyone has a wonderful night!

Need to go to sleep as well. Dinner was all on the grill, mentioned to teens that I’d have made brownies but out of cocoa powder. Hour later the three road trip to dollar general to get brownie mix (hehe-got me out of making them).

My hint is to put cotton or gauze inbetween said digits before taping. Makes a world of difference as to comfort.

Oh yes- did that second time I taped them. Finally got it comfortable. Nice pretty bruises all over the foot and two toes. Wish I knew what I did! And the chickens are fine in storm. Coop is protected so as long as they are locked in there -and not huddled under trees- they are safe and dry. Trick is getting them into the coop when storm comes
Have a fun trip too!! I’ve got the broken toes this round so hoping you are good lol


Such cute kitty pictures.


Back to work tomorrow. Kindle in hand. Will probably read for 5 minutes before falling asleep lol

Hi everybody

So much to catch up on here but I'll give it a try.

Mac glad you're getting better.

Monyk, hope your foot heals quickly. My ankle still swells a little when I'm on my feet all day but at least the pain is gone.

Ck, glad you're ok and no one was hurt

Carole, I think I'll rewatch stranger things before we leave next month...glad you're enjoying it.

Patty, cute kitty ...looks like my AWOL cat Mufasa. I miss him so much he was the original guy that started my cat collection even though I never actually brought a kitty home...they all found me.

Lynne, great to get a deal on the party tickets and sweet of you to treat dd's friend. We lucked out last time we went and got the cast member discount. I would love to go again this year but not enough time.

Charade, your hashbrown casserole sounds great...I think I'll try it when I get off my diet.

Janet, looking forward to when I get a gd to spoil...bet she looks cute in her new wardrobe...you're a great granny. Hope you have a blast on your latest travels.

Tgrgirl, good luck with Marshmallow...I need to do a kitty roundup and get all my homesteaders fixed. Just found another litter of 4 under the house this morning....the reward for my procrastination.

I sampled my jd birthday gift tonight and
watched Fear TWD for about 10 minutes before falling asleep only to wake up when Preacher started...guess I'll catch it next week.
Good to see Chris Hardwick back on TD.

Have a good night everyone...sweet dreams

Happy Sunday night everyone!!

I am sorry I have been MIA and not keeping up with everything. I love having the teens here but can be overwhelming at times. They want my attention to hang with them and play games. I feel bad not doing it then I get backed up on my stuff.

Also we are headed to Cedar Point in Ohio on Tuesday Morning. We are taking the 4 teens for 4 days. This will be the longest I have been with them. The other two best friends have never been on a vacation before. It is really sad. This is totally different for me. We have to get two rooms and wow is it costly. I have always gotten just one. They are so excited though that I am excited to share this with them. I have to pack for everyone due to limited space in my car. I have been doing it for two days now while they are here. I can't wait to see their faces with the park. It is a great park!

Monykalyn- Sorry to hear about your toe. Brian broke his on vacation one time in a lazy river. It was a tough rest of the week. I hope you feel better.

Ckmiles- Sorry to hear about the car accident. Glad that you and the car are good. I know how scary that can be.

Charade67 Sorry about the tummy problems. That is one of the worst to have cause it can be so hard to even leave the house. Hope your feeling better.

PattyW and Mac - I love your picture and your avatar. I have an orange tabby Alastor (who is my favorite) shh! we don't tell the others. Orange fur babies are awesome. Thanks for sharing I will as soon as I get my phone back.

Tgrgrl- Sounds like you had a nice bucket list. Glad you enjoyed.

LynneG- Happy deal hunting tomorrow!!

Keisha- I have used the early birthday gift many times! Great reason too!!

Waving hi to Schumigirl, Robo and Tink

I hope you all had a good day and a great night!

 

[tink1957]

Hi bobbie

 

[pattyw]

I was just about ready to pack it in for the night and I saw all your posts!! Got my second wind!!

Hour later the three road trip to dollar general to get brownie mix (hehe-got me out of making them).

You're a sly one Monyk!! Let 'em make their own brownies!! They better share!!

Hope you have a good day back to work tomorrow!!

Patty, cute kitty ...looks like my AWOL cat Mufasa. I miss him so much he was the original guy that started my cat collection even though I never actually brought a kitty home...they all found me.

So sorry about Mufasa! Bless you for caring for those kitties

I have an orange tabby Alastor (who is my favorite) shh! we don't tell the others. Orange fur babies are awesome. Thanks for sharing I will as soon as I get my phone back.

Can't wait to see the pictures!!

Have fun at Cedar Point! I've never been there! Kyle went with friends- too many crazy coasters for this thrill ride wimp!!

 

[macraven]

Yay we have live ones here now and that is a good excuse not to go to bed

Watch me post and you girls will sneak off to bed


Lol

Monyk of if the top of your foot is still painful,see an orthopedic and get X-rays
You might have more damage then you think

Not to take the subject away from
You but don’t want you to end up like me
(No, not to become fat and short )

I did something stupid and was cleaning the wood dining room floor and jammed my foot into the oak table pedal base
Suffered two days
Third day I had the 5 month check up and exrays to see how my tkr was healing
Was leaving for Orlando in 7 days knee was on task for healing but foot found to hae 3 broken bones on top of foot
And 2 toes
Doc wrapped them
And had to wear the boot for ten days
I had no idea I broke the foot bone

Get checked out so the bones will be physically put back in alightMent

A brace and boot is a lousy way to do the parks

Please take no offense with me giving advise
It is something us old people do to others to help them

 

[schumigirl]

MonyK, I’m having a vision of you being like Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz gathering your flock before the tornado hits!!! And yes, agree with Mac, get your foot checked out.......my sister broke bones in her foot, she could trip over fresh air........and turned out she did more damage than first thought........hope it’s not too painful though!!!

Vicki, yes really enjoying it.......we’re up to episode 5 of 8 I believe.........I was initially disappointed when I saw what the actual “thing” was........I had hoped for more supernatural reasons......but, it has gripped me!!! And usually avoid Winona Ryder, but it works........it’s like a real mix of films and tv shows from the 80’s.......

Janet, I’d struggle with that too!! That is a long day!!! Look forward to hearing all about this trip!!!



We are supposed to be in the middle of thunder and lightning with heavy rain this morning.........been up since 5.30 and so far all I see is a bit of fog. Very calm and still........can hear the foghorns going off by the sea.

Breakfast today is white toast, butter and farmer closest to us gave us some home made marmalade yesterday........she makes the best of stuff!!! And Tom and Kyle don’t like marmalade........all mine

Calling the garden furniture people today to collect the stuff we had delivered last week.........it’s too small.....so hoping they’re as good as they say for returns.

Not much else going on today.............

Oh have a great trip Bobbie!!

 

[schumigirl]

 

[Lynne G]

Ah, almost noon for Schumi. Like all your posted pictures for Monday, Schumi. Hope you do get the right sized outdoor furniture, without a hassle.

Yes, Monday, and hope all had a good night's sleep. Rained on and off for us, with a very dark night.

Oh, and yes, you are ready for my weather guy's report: Dreary start to the day, with flooding and heavy downpours throughout the day. Be careful, downpours can reach 2 inches or more of rain in minutes. Not a nice day.

Yeah, and because it's Monday, computer is still processing for at least 10 minutes now. Guess I'd better reboot. It's not ready for Monday, apparently. Maybe I am not either. LOL

Smooth commute, maybe one of the least amount of traffic I've seen for awhile. No buses, no stupid drivers, hardly anyone, and thank you street cleaner to come out in front of me, then turn, go around the short block, and get behind me, before the light changed. Then, my favorite parking spot open. Woot! a good day start for me. And, since still processing being shown, time for tea.

Week for travel to fun times. Bobbie, kids want to go to Cedar Point one of these days. We may. Not too bad of a drive for us. Have fun with all those teens.

MonyK, always better when others cook. Yep, we tend to make brownies from a box too. One time, older one had to get eggs, did not realize needed them. I like brownies, one bowl, one pan. Not much to beat the batter, and well, chocolate. Haven't heard neighbor chickens lately, guess they get locked in their coop too, with all this rain. Hope your toes and foot are feeling better.

Tink, sad orange cat can not be found. Sometimes, a cat is not an indoor cat. That was the orange cat we took in when it was left behind by a neighbor. Only came in at night in the cold of winter. He was a scrappy guy, but followed you down the street to the bus stop, and to the deli and back. Was lucky too, died of old age, and not from being hit by a car. More kittens, awww.

Patty, sounds like you are having fun too.

Charade and Mac, hope you both are feeling better today.

Robo, hope this finds you in good health too.

With that computer is not ready, but tea is. Later homies.

 

[Charade67]

Good morning. I’m up a litttle earlier today because it’s the first day of school. B was up and getting ready before I woke up. Had a horrible night. I didn’t get to sleep until after 2:00 and then kept waking up every hour or so. I also had several weird dreams. Hope it’s an easy day at work today.

Just fed middle DS & GD, they decided to have sleep over at my house. They’re Marco polo’ing in pool, now. I’d happily throttle the idiot who dreamed up that game.

I agree with you about Marco Polo, although there was one time I found it to be really cute. I was in a hotel pool somewhere and there were 2 kids who didn’t speak Spanish trying to teach Marco Polo to 2 other kids who didn’t speak English. They looked like they wee having a lot of fun together despite the language barrier.

That is so interesting Charade. Both adopted. Genes are a funny thing. My DH did his DNA test, and showed pretty much what he thought about his ancestry. Me, not really interested. Pretty sure I know where my DNA comes from, and where both my parents’ families are from.

I did my DNA test a couple of years ago and it was pretty much what I expected too. I was a little surprised to find out that I am less Irish than I thought.

Need to go to sleep as well. Dinner was all on the grill, mentioned to teens that I’d have made brownies but out of cocoa powder. Hour later the three road trip to dollar general to get brownie mix (hehe-got me out of making them).

Now I’m craving brownies. I don’t think I’ve ever made them from scratch though.

Also we are headed to Cedar Point in Ohio on Tuesday Morning.

Sounds like fun. Is that the place the Brady Bunch went to or was that King’s Island?



Going to go put something in the crock pot and then get ready to face the day.

 

[macraven]

Our weather prediction changed over night
Now. No rain and in the 90’s

Typical

Mr Mac returns tonight and my morning cat feedings will stop

He is the natural early bird and gets that job back

Have a wonderful day homies !

 

[tink1957]

Good morning

Sorry I deserted you last night mac...it's been a long week and I was one tired puppy.

Looking at the weather forecast I think I'll do my yard work soon and enjoy the ac for the rest of the day.

Have a great day everyone

 

[pattyw]

Calling the garden furniture people today to collect the stuff we had delivered last week.........it’s too small.....so hoping they’re as good as they say for returns.

Hope you get different furniture that is better for your outdoor space!

Smooth commute, maybe one of the least amount of traffic I've seen for awhile

Always good for a Monday!! Hope the work day flies by!!

Sounds like fun. Is that the place the Brady Bunch went to or was that King’s Island?

The Bradys went to Kings Island. Sad that I remember that! I don't remember what I had for lunch yesterday!

Mr Mac returns tonight and my morning cat feedings will stop

He is the natural early bird and gets that job back

Yay for sleeping in! Yep- Joe's first one up here at 5am so he has cat feeding duty during the week!!

Looking at the weather forecast I think I'll do my yard work soon and enjoy the ac for the rest of the day.

Sounds good!! Hope you get it done before any bad weather gets there! and then kick back this afternoon!!

Working at home this morning! Then a few errands and to the office later on this afternoon. After dinner, off to the salon for a cut & color!!

 

[Robo56]

Morning Sans family







Monykalyn I’ am going to 3rd the advice to have your toe and foot looked at.....hope your not in to much pain with it.....hang in there


Need to get moving this morning. I have things to do .......
Have to go out in public today and my hair looks like I stuck my finger in a light socket

 

[pattyw]

Have to go out in public today and my hair looks like I stuck my finger in a light socket

Just act like you're practicing for HHN with the big hair 80's look!

 

[Lynne G]

Robo, I'll send you my hair lady. Oh is all she said, when, with layers, I look like I had my finger in a socket every day. She added, well, have to wait until it grows out.

Sigh, it was not so cold in here, I'd have my hair up.

 

[Lynne G]

Squeak, and the number is 8.

 

[macraven]

Robbie- wear a hat

It hides all flaws
