Something About Nothing............ #14

[schumigirl]

Glad appointment went well Robo......but oh no on the crown!!! You are doing well aren`t you right now......well, it can only get better can`t it......right.......

Yes, some of the fireworks sound like it`s downtown Beirut!!! Not fun to listen to. Every year it`s the same with injuries. Not counting for the idiots that play with them........I think we`ve all seen that video!!!!

Have a lovely day....

​

For me........Wine, of course ......Netflix and books...........

​

Honorary mention to lipstick!!!!!

Helllo all,

Thought I’d post a couple of pics actually provided by @bioreconstruct of how the Castle is coming along, it does look very beautiful, my wife really loves rose gold, and loves how it’s being incorporated in the new scheme.


Looks Great!!!

 

[Robo56]

I have an amusing vision of a Barney themed HHN house. I hated that dinosaur.

LOL......I laughed when I read this.....my husband went to Universal with me year before last for my birthday. He had never been to Universal before and while we were walking around the kids area the Barney gang came up behind us and asked if we wanted a pic with them. Before he could answer I told them yes.

I love that picture Robo!!!!! Barney is very poular in this house.......

We can all be big kids anytime.....now I have the Barney songs in my head......lol......

You`d like the champagne and rum cocktail......it works fine with prosecco too.......we have tested with both extensively....lol.......




Well, we ate early tonight as Kyle is zooming with friends soon. Steaks were lovely, Tom again, cooked them perfectly and they disappeared quickly.

Sides were good except the mac n cheese....not sure what happened to it, but it was a little clumpy. Won`t make that mistake again.

Now, we are quite full and will wait for the crumble......no custard now I think, maybe a little pouring cream will do.

Time to lounge along the sofas........

 

[Lynne G]

For some reason, Barney was never a favorite of either of my kids. Clifford was as well as Blue’s Clues. Blast from past.

Returning from grocery shopping. Should be good for days now. LOL And where are we now? Yeah, kid needs coffee. Sigh, not me.

Getting so hot and sticky feeling, AC cranking in the car.

Ouch, Robo. Hope you get that crown fixed quick and have good results with your MRI.

 

[Charade67]

Quick check in. I have a Zoom meeting in 10 minutes.

I guess the city won’t be doing the July 1 Canada Day fireworks over the inlet. We love being able to sit on our deck to watch

Most local fireworks have been cancelled around here. I just checked with our minor league baseball team, and it looks like they still plan to have them after the game onJuly 4.

@Charade67 I am sending thoughts and prayers for your Mom's recovery. I'm glad you are getting a little get away! What a nice suprise that your dh did!

Thanks Pumpkin.

We got to enjoy the warm beautiful weather today. I warm day with no wind is rare...so we loaded the boat and went fishing! The one ds and I caught quite a few fish compared to the other two I lost count after 18 fish. We have a very strict size limit and I caught the only one. We ended up taking it out of the livewell and releasing it back into the lake to grow a little bigger for me to catch again! That same ds caught 2 VERY large fish that we actually trophy size. We had to release those ones too, as we are not allowed to keep any of that one. But we have NOT seen anything even close to the size of the two fish ( nothern pike if you were wondering ) he caught in this lake for over 10 years. It's nice to know that there are some big ones cruising around the lake and will breed more of them!

Wow, sound like a very successful day. Fishing is something I have never tried.

most likely some grocery shopping today as well.

I need to do that too. One of my least favorite chores.

I have no words! I didn't know children could attend and I'm genuinely shocked. Do they have warnings? Kids can't get into a PG 13 or R movie, yet they can go to HHN?

Years ago my husband went to see one of the batman movies. I think the one with Heath Ledger in it. Anyway, it was PG-13. He said a couple had brought their toddler with them. Of course the child got scared and started crying. He said the couple was angry when they were asked to leave the theater.

I like the bigger ones at Disney, but I get anxious with the ones people set off in their yards and I won't even go outside. The big ones used to be illegal in PA, but now they're not. Thankfully our city passed an ordinance that they are illegal within city limits. It doesn't stop everyone, but it does give the police something to be able to stop the ones they find.

I grew up in Georgia where fireworks used to be illegal. I am still not used to the average person being able to buy them.

It would shock you the ages we`ve seen kids visiting the event. Babes, and I mean months old babies either in pushchairs and last year we saw two aged around 6-8 months being carried around. Toddlers, some we`ve seen being carried out of the houses screaming.....kids of younger than tweens being nuisances in the houses......I could go on. Most claim.....oh they`re fne....not the point. It`s not an event for kids.

I can remember being a little kid and getting angry at my dad because he wouldn't let me go to a haunted house with my older sister. When I got older I realized how right he was. I would have been terrified and traumatized. I think at the time I was just mad about being left out.

Crown came off tooth yesterday morning.

Hope it's an easy fiix.

I love it. I really hope we get to go back next year. We were there for the 25th anniversary.

LOL......I laughed when I read this.....my husband went to Universal with me year before last for my birthday.

Love the picture.

For some reason, Barney was never a favorite of either of my kids. Clifford was as well as Blue’s Clues. Blast from past.

Thankfully B never got into Barney. The preschool show I hated the most was called Oobi. Is anyone familiar with it?

Gotta run. Meeting starting. Please forgive any typos.

Happy Fathers’ Day to all who have filled the role over the years, including the single mommas out there that had to wear two hats.

Want to share a pic of my dear old Dad , won’t mention it was from the starter marriage lol. Was funny as I was such a tomboy. When it came time to pick out a wedding dress, he made a rare request...look like something out of Gone with the Wind. I did nail the hoop skirt and chantilly lace lol

Spent most of day in pool with the mr. Kids all at the club swimming. I haven’t brought myself to swim there yet, a bit too close & personal. They’ll descend upon us at 4 or 5 pm for dinner.

Today’s menu: the steaks, corn on cob, green beans, roasted taters, salad, watermelon & need to make one of those giant choc chip cookies in cast iron skillet. Already made regular ones for the mr, who isn’t a fan of the big cookie, warm with ice cream on top. I’ll keep him anyway

Keisha I’m watching Belmont too! Who do you like? I’m thinking Pneumatic?

Didn’t go with favorite, no money there. took longshot forenight. Almost hit on a trifecta . Said son played a bit more than me, did hit for $500

But I am genuinely surprised they're going ahead with Food and Wine. Guess they have to try to make the money up somewhere. I wonder how many things and how drastically they will alter it. We go for Flower and Garden and Food and Wine and Food and Wine is far, far more crowded.

Me too, it’s sounds like ‘the worst of a combo flower/food & wine. We shall see. I have to make reservations for multiple trips tomorrow. On the same hand, going to book a reservation same time as August trip to MB & watch the numbers of illness. Sigh

Kurt Russell version, not the newer one.

Ah, he is one of my top three screen hunks, going back to early disney movie days

Ok, reading the messages from you ladies I'm under the impression that kids are allowed to attend HHN?! Teens I can see, but kids? I'm shocked

They make recommendaitons that are often disregarded. I’ve seen children in strollers every single year.

I love Beetlejuice.....but hated Johnny Depp as Wonka......and yes, fully admit to not having a clue who those characters were.......oh the shame!!! Lol......

When he’s good, he’s great but so many stinkers

saw lightning hit an electric pole as we drove by

Yikes. Was surprised Myrtle beach didn’t have their outlets open a few weeks ago, not indoor or the outdoor ones
[

Oogie Boogie is a creep. I used to hate him. Now I think he's funny.
When we were wearing rubber gloves out to the stores, my youngest and I would squeak them at each other closing our hands like Johnny Depp did as Wonka. We have a weird sense of humor. People probably thought we were nuts.

Creep not the word I’d use but that is true. He is absolutely beloved out at DL. Was focus of every MNSSHP we attended if truth be told.

They are setting off fireworks around here again tonight for the 7th night in a row. This is normal occurrence until couple days after the 4th.

It’s been going on for months here. My poor pooch is ready to have a nervous breakdown

Unmasking Masking the Horror Tour.....it’s a tour that allows you to tour selected houses during the day. Very nice for the HHN fan. Mac told me about this tour when I first started doing HHN. It’s worth it if you would like more in-depth information on the houses. You can really appreciate the artistry that goes into creating the houses.

Finally convinced the Mr to do it last year after years of reluctance. I created a monster

I have an amusing vision of a Barney themed HHN house. I hated that dinosaur.

Only if it had some teeth in it. Yes, I did go there

At one point when Kyle was very little he was either going to be a trash man or Barney when he grew up!!! Glad he set his sights a lot higher!!!

Haha my DS obsessed too when a tot

Anyone can buy them from anywhere here....just got to be 16 or over......I think they may have upped it to 18, not sure about that....but yes, grocery stores to corner shops sell them as well as Dodgy Bob in any town market.......you can buy as many as you like.

We never had haunted houses as kids I`d have wanted to go to them too I think.

Janet, that is a beautiful picture ❤ You look a lot like your dad! I loved the big hoop wedding dress I had too....lol.....they were perfect!!! I said it was being in an old Southern plantation movie.....it suits you though......lovely memory for you to have today!

Food sounds good as always....minus the green beans of course....lol......yes, your mister is absolutely a keeper!!!

Mr Depp is hard to watch at times for sure...Wonka I couldn`t deal with, but loved him as the famous Capt Jack of course.....he was in a weird one called secret window or something like that....I enjoyed that.

If I want to have Kyle roll his eyes at me in jest......I just have to sing any of the Barney songs......I can hear him groan internally....lol.....mum`s privilege......

I`m with you on the castle....not a fan of any gold, reminds me of the gaudy bathrooms of the mid 1980`s with coloured suites and gold looking taps.....never liked that look at all. And I hate pink. I liked the Castle as it was before they touched it. Ha....never thought about a merchandise angle......

Enjoy the rest of your day.....it sounds idylic!!!!





Apple crumble was delicious.....another thing that`s got to be home made!!

Sitting with a pot of tea and watching the last two episodes of The Sinner 3rd season........Janet, it`s not as good as the first two were.....just want it to end now......don`t really care what happens.......but Bill Pullman is still excellent, only reason we`re still watching is him.

Schumi, Clifford was a huge red dog. Since we had real dogs when the kids were little, made sense that my kids liked dog comics as well as other comics/ kids’ shows that featured animals. We had books of those characters as well.

Bought warm feeling stickie buns with walnuts from the grocery store that makes them as close as I have found than the ones I remember from when I was young. Back then, there was a stickie bun place in the mart, and my dad would bring me with him to pick up those stickie buns that you could smell in the whole market, and he would buy one that they just dumped out of the black pan into the box. They were steaming hot and oh so stickie good. Then my mom would grill the day old ones and butter them. One of the few foods I eat topped with raisins and walnut pieces, though I rarely see the grocery store put both topping on. Only found nut or plain ones. After lunch tea with one. Oh so yum.

It is a what for dinner. Maybe pasta as easy meal feeling day. Made chicken nuggets for lunch, as no one wanted a burger, with salad and corn, as DH brought two ears of corn home the other day.

[Sue M]

@DisneyLifePapioNe those pics are so unfair!

@Charade67 I haven’t decided if I like the paint or not yet! Too much gold maybe.

@Pumpkin1172 well at least you’re getting nice weather! On the wet coast nothing but rain. But by tomorrow we’re due for some nice weather again.
I saw those golf ball size hail stones on the news glad you got home safely! I bet it was very scary.
I think our border will have another extension For Aug. Rebooking our WDW Aug trip for next Aug. was just on the phone with our TA hashing out details. It’s a little more complicated as we booked an Agency special.
I thought we were allowing inter province travel between BC & AB?

@schumigirl oh that’s funny about mask over eyes!
I will have to go to Strongwater! I’ve never had a Mule anything lol but sounds like I’d enjoy it.
Haven’t bought Ginger Beer in awhile (diabetes) but I’ll cheat on holiday a little
Did Tom get the DVD player?

@Lynne G quiet day around here too. And iffy weather. Our trash day is Monday too but we can’t take it out until the morning because of bears.

@mckennarose I bet it feels good to have the Apple tree finished. I know I’ll be happy once DH starts on plum tree! I think our gardener will take away the branches.
I think dd and I may go to outlet Tuesday! If there’s time.

@schumigirl ugh. I don’t know why people take kids to HHM. I get upset watching people taking young children on Haunted Mansion! While the child is in tears not wanting to go.

mmmm love Prosecco on a nice sunny day on the patio!
Dinner sounds good as always.
Universal Halloween party

@Aug2020distrip good choice on 4 days. I think you’ll enjoy the extra days. We can’t do Universal with less than 4 days. That’s a minimum for us. We don’t like a rushed plan.

@Robo56 glad things went well at MRI and wasn’t busy. Sending Mummy dust for good results.
Hopefully crown will be an easy fix.
Our Father’s Day here is quiet. Mr doesn’t like a fuss. Youngest is away camping, so we’ll have family dinner next week.

@schumigirl your list is missing bacon! My list would be Pet, Wine, Coffee but hard to narrow down.

@Robo56 that’s a funny story about Barney photo! I would have done same thing! And yes, song is now in my head lol.

@keishashadow Lovely pic of your dad! Is that you in the wedding gown? Beau

Well my horse did come in 2nd! At last minute I switched from Pneumatic!

Seems wdw now has a food festival going all the time. It is a cash cow for them. Small plate almost same cost as a counter service meal.

I love the California Adventure Oogie Boogie over the entrance! DL does it so well.

Well quiet day. Rain has stopped. I may run up to the store for some mozzarella to make pizzas. Then take dogs out for a walk.

 

[DisneyLifePapioNe]

Was just reading the updates on the Disney resorts and dates they are reopening, several aren’t even going to open until October, many don’t even have an opening date set.

I wonder if there were a super low amount of reservations and maybe that played into the cancellation of MNSSHP, I can’t recall the # but I think it was around 40 some million folks that lost jobs, having vacations planned so soon maybe hard and very understandably so......I hope everyone can get going with jobs and better then they were before even.

 

[Lynne G]

Yeah, little bit of rain, some thunder to say, hey it’s raining. Sun out, so told little one to look for rainbow. So stinking hot, heard AC still on even though raining.

Double joy, weather lady said get ready, week will be summer weather, work in beach time. Yeah, you know hazy, hot and very humid air all week. Told kids, pool time, I bet.

Serenely nice Sunday evening, as we all enjoy thinking of our dads.

 

[keishashadow]

Was that Clifford the big blue dog? Don`t think we ever watched that. Glad grocery shopping is done for a few days....

As lynne said, he was a very big, red dog. Loved the books, the tv show not so much. blue’s clue doggie was adorable, that show was watchable.

They really do pay oogie homage well. I love the whole vibe there. Do hope to try to get back out there within next two years once things settle down.

Having a little something on the races makes it more interesting for us. My DS has done well throughout the years.

I had just turned 20 lol, seems several lifetimes ago But do still have the dress somewhere, along with my engagement ring. Most of my friends would go to great lengths to chuck their’s off the bridge into the river. Ha, that’s money in the bank for a rainy day. At this point I figure one of my boys will eventually ask to have it.

Carole that is such a coincidence you had a big hoop skirt dress too. I remember being very surprised the 1st time I did sit down in it, even though the underskirt was sort of hinged. Believe it had two crinolines along with that. My one all-in girlie, girl day.

I like rose gold, but don't own too much of it. My iPad is rose gold.

We had a nice Father's Day lunch at one of our more upscale restaurants. I ate way too much. Later dh and I had an exciting trip to Walmart. We wanted to get a couple of extra phone chargers to take on our trip. I love my iPhone, but don;t understand why Apple doesn't do something about theIr terrible chargers.

My TA said she’s gotten a lot of cancellations or modifications to a later date, like I just did. And she said a lot are going over to Universal where its less complicated! I think a lot of people are just fed up with Disney and having to make park reservations, no hopping, etc. I’ve had her modify my Aug 2020 to Aug 2021. I also have a Nov/Dec res, going with friends. We all have our own rooms but problem running into is 2 of them have their resort reservations but hadn’t bought Park tickets yet. And they’re unable to buy tix now until later so I cant make park reservations until wdw opens up ticket sales again. It’s crazy. We’re thinking of going to Uni instead! Disney is just making things too hard.

I hope to get back to DL too, maybe next year. Love going around May 4! Last year we bought the after hours ticket for May 4. They really do go all out. This was before GE opened. But so much going on. Hyperspace Mtn! Was so fun. Mostly adults and many clever costumes. lots had their light sabres! I could have just sat there people watching.
We rode 4 times lol.
We always bet amongst ourselves, but just for bragging rights. I should make it a tad more interesting! I usually win! Lol.
Wow, 20 yrs old! You looked lovely. A child bride! at 20 I was no where near ready. I was 25 before I even started thinking about it. I was a late bloomer I guess.

I‘ll leave the light on! Only 8:00 here.

Hello everyone...I hope everyone had a nice Father's Day with all the special people in your life. Ours was nice and pretty quiet. There really is not much to do here right now. We oredered Brian's favorite take-out and rented a couple of movies. We also did some work on one of the rooms that we need to stage. I have a new bed coming in this week to make the office a bedroom. We know we will use the bed as an extra in a bedroom when we move. Brian is still applying for jobs, he has had a few rejections but it's okay. When it is meant to happen it will. I just hope Florida gets in better shape before I get there.

The teens are good still working which is good. There has been a lot going on with the teens so I have been very busy the last few weeks, and time seems to get away from me. I have been thinking of everyone and try to hop on periodically to check on eveyrone.

We did manage to go away last weekend over night to the Poconos. It is about a 2 and a half hour drive for us. We went for one one the ones with the jacuzzi tub and pool inside the room. We let Charlie pick the room since it was part of his graduation gift. I had the two rooms side by side so we could easliy trade things if necessary. It was a nice well needed overnight. I would go there again if we stay in this area in the next few months.

The house is coming along we are almost ready to have the realator do the pics for the website. However, we have to wait for Brian to get a job so who knows if it will be one month or six. We are happy with all the work and think it will sell fast.

Charlie has been cooking one day a week, then we usually support our local restaurants a couple then I cook. I like the variety. Brian and I did go to a restaurant two weeks ago when we started outdoor dining only. It was nice to go sit at a restaurant for a change.

We still have the week in September booked at Portofino. I am going to buy the 2 and 2 ticket then the HHN ticket for Brian and Charlie. If we happen to move down there by then, we will still go overnight for a few days. If not we will drive down then spend the 7 nights then drive home. I picked dates that overlaps with several of the SANS family and look forward to hopefully some meet ups.

Robo I love the pic with Barney...Getting character pics is one of my favorite things to do. In our house Barney wasn't well received by Liv but Little Einsteins and Bear in the Big Blue House was . It was great when Liv was 5 we took her to Disney and at the time Hollywood studios had Little Einsteins there and she was so happy. I am glad that your MRI appointment went well and good luck with your results!!

Keisha I love the pic of you and your dad, how nice to have those memories. Liv is on the tom boy side very much and does not like dresses, I can only imagine what she would wear to her wedding. I always like dresses and made sure mine was very girly. Good luck with your reservations tomorrow. I have been hearing it is a little crazy with the new reservation system and what they are offering. I look forward to hearing how you did!

Charade I am glad that your mom is doing better and on the way to recovery. The quick trip next weekend sounds nice and I am sure you will enjoy it. I hope the new cat sitter works out. That is one thing I am worried about moving, I have good people right now and will have to start over. I am with you on the haunted stuff Liv and I will stay at the resort while the boys go to HHN. I was there for the 25th too, while time flies.

Sue I am sorry that you had to postpone your vacation, that is never easy to do. I understand how you feel and would do the same, being in limbo is very stressful. I think the daytime tour would be something I could do, I might look into it. Fish and chips sounds nice always a treat! Good luck to your DD with the new job and have fun clothes shopping!! Liv is terrible to go with she is very picky and does not like my suggestions.!!

Monykalyn Glad that you had a nice trip, it was nice to hear you reporting live from it. Congrats on UCF. Liv just got her acceptance letter she will be transferring as a junior since she got her Associate's in May. She will probably sign up for online classes for the fall semester then hopefully we will be there for her to attend in person. She would not be a good candidate to live down there on her own.

Schumi Glad that you had a nice visit with your friends. I am looking forward to more of that in time. I have one friend who visits she has a low risk life style so feel comfortable with her. Your meal tonight sounded delicious, apple crumb and creme brulee are my favorites. Your land around your house sounds so nice and relaxing the beach is one of my favorite places to wake up too. Charlie wanted me to buy Brian something from the package store for him as a gift but I wasn't sure so when Brian and I stopped for some wine yesterday I had him pick it out, this way he could enjoy it more.

Lynne I hear you on the cruise and getting your deposit back. I think right now being on a land vacation is a little safer. I understand you wanting to be blonde again. I had Brian color my hair a few weeks ago. It really does make a difference on how you feel. I would love to do some highlights at the hair dresser but they are too expensive. I hope you get it done soon. I don't even want to look at my electric bill next month. I don't get a good breeze in my house so the a/c is always on.

DLPN Thanks for sharing the pics

Agavegirl love the memes, thanks for them.

Mac I hope you, Mr. and the fur babies are good. I hope you are staying cool in this heat!!

Mcrose I am sorry to hear about your apple tree. I love fruit trees just never have had one. I love the hair band it looks great. My hair is too short now for that. Grilled cheese is a great comfort food. It is tricky to get the cheese and butter combo just right. Liv likes mac n cheese from Costco as well as my homemade. I always try to have some in stock.

K star I hope you are able to take your trip to Florida this summer. I know it is hard to find somewhere that meets all your needs. SInce I am in the tri-state with you I have been very upset about the quarantine on us. I don't understand why it isn't lifted. We are in better shape. I am glad that you can enjoy the summer from teaching.

Hi Vicki, Pumpkin and Cam, nice to see you post. I hope you had a great weekend.

I am off to bed a hello to anybody I missed. I hope everyone had a good weekend and talk to everyone soon!

Hi Bobbie good to hear from you! Sounds like you’re up in the air too With when you can move. You’re going to have that house so fixed up and pretty you may not want to move!

A weekend in the Poconos sounds very nice. My daughters & I will go overnight to a hot springs hotel and its so relaxing we come away refreshed and feeling like we’ve been away for days. It’s a couple hour drive so we get there mid to late morning and check in early. If our room isn’t ready we’ll walk around town, then leave around 1ish the following day with a stop along the way at the nearby dairy farm! They make their own cheeses and they are a real treat.

My dd is very picky too and have no idea why she wants me to go lol.
