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

[schumigirl]

That's really hot for you, isn't it? We were in the high 80's today.

Yes, it is a little hot for us. We do get warm weather like this, but not usually sustained. And as expected it`ll change tomorrow....

Been watching the weather channel
My area will be missing the heavy storms but think a couple homies in the sans will have to deal with it.

It’s just not summer without them.

Hope all stay safe!

I miss the weather channel.......one of Kyle`s favourites too......

Glad you`re missing the bad storms.....is Vicki close to where they are?? Actually where is Tink.....haven`t seen her post for a while......




I think it must be nearly bedtime for us.....11.30........and it`s still hot.......

 

[jump00]

Love all this talk about bacon!!! In Canada, peameal bacon is very lovely. Less salty and more lean.........but very flavourful. I like the standard bacon and eggs!!!

 

[Lynne G]

Ooh, I like cream cheese and grape jelly on my bagels. Also, use grape jelly on french toast, as don’t like syrup on it. And not a fan of mayo, nor is little one. I always ask to hold the mayo on ordered burgers. Little one loves a BLT sandwich, but dry, no mayo or other needed.

Ah, older one demanded Chinese food for dinner tonight. Yeah, okay with me. Lo Mein with half an egg roll and some wonton soup. Filled up. Little one was kind enough to pick up for us, and now all screen viewing.

so glad it is only Friday night. And to start the new month, heading to sister’s place again, as pool time. No rain forecasted, and back to our 90 degrees highs.

And yeah,



Have that most restful and relaxing, good night sleep.

 

[snowpack]

they suffered and had a hard time getting over it.

Seems like there is a lot of that going around. Son came home Lake Michigan with this. Dr said is was poison sumac

Grandchildren so excited at going to the coast they couldn’t sleep - such a shame we don’t have the day’s to give them a full vacation but hopefully agreement will be reached soon on that and we will make this short trip as good as we can!

Sounds like fun. Have a great time!

Glad that this thing that is heading towards us sounds it'll be a weak storm

Whew, storms are scary. Didnt have many storms growing up and I hate them. Lightning, thunder, wind, I have no use for them. Hubby on the other hand sits in the garage with the door open watching them.

Yeah, with this week feeling so long, taking off tomorrow,

Hope you had a relaxing day!

Where I live in GA, can only buy spirits in one town in the state

WOW, and I thought MS was bad.

Tough day at the dentist. 2 hours of work done

You are one tough cookie! Hope the pain subsided quickly.

Or a Trader Joe's

Memphis got one about a year ago. Yes, we drive the 30 minutes to go there and I spend way too much money there.

Turkey bacon I tried once.....and once was enough!!!!

That shouldnt even be a thing. Doesnt taste like bacon. Doesnt taste like turkey.


Spent about 30 minutes on hold with Universal today, to find out how much it would be to renew our passes. Dont think we are gong to renew the boys as our next few trips are going to be girl trips. Just havent figured out if the discount for renewing in full and extra 3 months is worth them not using their pass for 6 -10 months.

Have a busy weekend ahead. Son turns 21 on Monday. We were supposed to go to Vegas but that was put on hold so we are making it a birthday weekend. Hoping the weather cooperates tomorrow as they are going to take the jeeps out.

Made fish and rice for the guys, now time to go find something for me to eat. Have a great weekend everyone.

 

[mckennarose]

Beautiful day here and so glad of air conditioning in cars - how did we cope when young with the windows down and a little fan operating from the cigarette lighter!

LOL! I remember, I think it was in the late 80's, that two criteria for a new car was that I wanted a car with power windows and AC. Can you imagine?

@macraven mayo and bacon only if a BLT for me.

Me too, but I do love mayo. Usually on sandwiches or in dips.

Kind of you to take the fish over. I love most fish but particularly fresh tuna, trout or sea bass. Always choose fish on a specials menu!

My dad loves fish and whenever I buy or make it, I make some for him. My mom is allergic and can't touch it and he won't buy it for just himself. I also try to get him little neck clams when I see them too, and prepare them for him. He's 80, God love him.

My area will be missing the heavy storms but think a couple homies in the sans will have to deal with it.

It’s just not summer without them.

You all are brave when it comes to the hurricanes! We were down in Florida for Hurricane Dorian last year and it was scary for us. We wound up leaving right before it hit, mostly because there was a lack of gas (we drove) and we felt we didn't have the necessary provisions to ride it out, or the means to get them down there. This was when the hurricane was still set to hit Orlando. It changed course and slowed down and we were able to get out of there.

Stay safe everyone!

Seems like there is a lot of that going around. Son came home Lake Michigan with this. Dr said is was poison sumac

Oh yikes! That looks painful! I hope he feels better soon.

Memphis got one about a year ago. Yes, we drive the 30 minutes to go there and I spend way too much money there.

I would too. The closest one to us is about an hour away in Jersey. I am tempted to go.

That shouldnt even be a thing. Doesnt taste like bacon. Doesnt taste like turkey.

LOL! I agree!

Son turns 21 on Monday. We were supposed to go to Vegas but that was put on hold so we are making it a birthday weekend. Hoping the weather cooperates tomorrow as they are going to take the jeeps out.

Happy Birthday to your son! Sorry your plans got put on hold.

 

[Lynne G]

Aww, Snow I hope he feels better. When I was a kid, found out what poison sumac was. Not fun at all. A big Happy Birthday to the guy who becomes able to legally drink! Yay! 21. Good reason to celebrate, Snow.

And Dix, TinyD, Bluer and all the homies in the hurricane path, stay safe, and hope no loss of power and no damage or loss od

Just from a thunderstorm earlier today, my sister’s work had lots of trees down and large tree branches everywhere. She heard sounds of chain saws after storm was done. We got nada. Just some cloudy skies, with late afternoon sunny end of the day.

Hmm, ice cream? Not sure what I want to snack on.

 

[Charade67]

Good evening every one. Semi productive day today. I did some laundry and later dh and I sorted some puzzle pieces. Now I'm being lazy and watching Ant Man and the Wasp.

Congrats on the trip next month!!! I think you need a break by the sounds of it.....

Yes, I do. I'm just praying nothing happens to mess this one up.

Went to Sam's yesterday and there was only one kind of tp in the whole aisle. Please don't tell me we're doing this again?!

Geez, I hope not. We only recently got a decent stock of TP back in our local Kroger.

The neighbors have been very quiet, although the teenage boys are giving us dirty looks when we're outside if they see us. Too bad, don't shine a laser on my security cameras if you don't want the police to get called. So far no damage to the camera they were shooting the laser at.

Glad to hear they are behaving.

So we have around an official temp of 92F today.......but according to our little temp gadget, the garden where we are is 100F.........it’s finally hot!!!

You can keep the heat. I'm counting the days until Autumn.

We have various types......but this is a regular back bacon slice......can vary in shape slightly.......

That bacon looks so good. Nothing like what I am used to.

I am a very proud coal miner’s daughter.

This reminded me of a guy I went to high school with. His mother was the daughter of a coal miner from Kentucky. She went on to become the president of Kennesaw State University.

I have not been to a concert since I moved south.

don't miss the crowds

I don't care for the crowds either, but will make an exception if it is someone I really, really want to see. When the Monkees came to Richmond several years ago I HAD to go. I think I earned mother of the year the time I took B to see One Direction,

I wish we had Costoc or Whole Foods. But we don't. Or a Trader Joe's. Sigh....

We don't have any of those either. Just Sam's Club.

Have read there is turkey bacon in other posts but never tried it.

You haven't missed anything.

Sad news last night as government announced return of restrictions in some areas that means our first sleepover at our friends in Yorkshire next weekend has to be postponed again. People struggling to understand the reasoning as you can go to a pub or restaurant near strangers but not have any friends or family at your house. Many saying the government daren’t say it’s because of Eid and to stop the gatherings that would be taking place this weekend in those communities.

I don't understand that logic either.

Does anyone here put mayonnaise on their bacon..?

mayo and bacon only if a BLT for me.

I'm with Real. Mayo with bacon only on a BLT.

I love grape jelly....only ever have it in America......one of the girls in the Club Lounge looked at me in horror as I had it with cream cheese on white toast......lol....not that odd a mix at all.......seems perfect to me......

I've never tried it, but I would think that cream cheese and jelly would compliment each other.

My area will be missing the heavy storms but think a couple homies in the sans will have to deal with it.

I have a hard time remembering who lives where. We are far enough inland that we will just get the effects of the outer bands.

Ah, older one demanded Chinese food for dinner tonight.

I really want some Chinese food, but my favorite restaurant hasn't opened their dining room yet, and they are a little too far for take out.

Dr said is was poison sumac

That does not look good. I hope he heals quickly.

Have a busy weekend ahead. Son turns 21 on Monday.

Happy birthday to him.

LOL! I remember, I think it was in the late 80's, that two criteria for a new car was that I wanted a car with power windows and AC. Can you imagine?

I could live without power windows, but AC is a must. I can remember buying a car ages ago. A friend told me that I didn't need AC, I could just lower the windows. AC is a must in Georgia.

You all are brave when it comes to the hurricanes! We were down in Florida for Hurricane Dorian last year and it was scary for us

I experienced my first hurricane the second year I lived in South Florida. I was a little freaked out and one of my coworkers kept telling me I would be fine since I lived west. (I was about 6 miles west of the ocean.) I finally had enough and asked her if the hurricane knew to stop at I95.


Looking for suggestions. I want a small bag to take to Busch Gardens, but not a waist pack. I am looking for something that can hold an IPhone XS Max that is in an Otter Box, my wallet, and maybe a small bottle of sunscreen. I usually bring a nylon cinch backpack, but it is too big. Dh and B will expect me to carry all of their stuff, and I am sick of being the pack mule.


I'll be back later with tonight's light.

I really like the Lug cross bodies for something like you are mentioning. Fits just enough but light weight and not too big.

https://smile.amazon.com/Lug-Womens...pe+crossbody&qid=1596247319&sr=8-1&th=1&psc=1

 

[Lynne G]

I like my small Kipling that you can put like a cross body. I get my phone, in otter case, sunglasses and a small wallet. I has 3 zip compartments, I put phone in one, wallet in other, with my sunglasses, and small zip I keep receipts or other small things. It’s a Kipling Meryl Convertibke Crossbody Bag. Mine is black, but I have seen them in a few other colors. Converts to a waste bag. I also like my Kipling that has one large compartment with a zipped pouch in the back of that compartment and has a zipper on the front flap. Small, and can hold my phone, wallet, and sunglasses in the big compartment, I put my ID and other in outside zipped, for easy access. It is not a convertible bag. I like that one the best, when I am traveling. Both are crossbody, and the second one comes in a ton of patterns and colors. I forget the name, but you can look. Bought both kinds at my Macy’s and I have a black, red, white and blue tie dyed one, and one that looks like this:




I only use the convert one in the parks, as a waist pack.

 

[Lynne G]

Oh looked it up, style is called SABIAN. Small Kipling Crossbody. I like the bags, they hold up well, and I play with the gorilla that they always have hanging on a key chain on the bags, when I’m bored.

Ooh, I am almost ready for bed. Not much interest on the screen shows. And to late to start a movie.

 

[macraven]

I leave the thread for an hour and everyone shows up !

Came back for the porch light show presentation by charade but guess I’m too early

 

[Charade67]

Sorry Mac, I was watching a movie.

Tonight’s light is in honor of a certain boy wizard who had a birthday today.

 

[macraven]

Snow
Hope you son has a great birthday celebration!
Your baby is going to be 21!
Is he your first born?

Lynne
It’s Friday night so stay up for awhile
You can sleep in tomorrow morning.

Elsa
Lynne knows the best bags.
You can’t go wrong with the ones she recommends.

mrose
So power windows on a car was what you wanted in the 80’s?
Did you get the dream car?

I know I am missing some of the homies but scrolling back on the iPhone, I keep hitting a wrong button and have to start over posting here tonight

 

[macraven]

Hit send too quickly but now the porch lighting event has happened

charade very nice and a great way to celebrate
Potters birthday!

 

[Lynne G]

Oh, I am still here, Mac. Had to see Charade’s light choice. Lights still on in our house. I think both kids are still up too.

Ack, as I was typing, phone flashed a tropical storm warning for Orlando, expires in 9 hours. Hope that means Dix maybe will be sleeping while the storm passes by.

From the path, it looks like by Thursday we get some rain from the outer bands. I live far enough inland, it should just be rain, and not as bad winds, as we have colder water, though August is when the shore has the warmest water temps.

 

[macraven]

I checked the weather channel earlier this evening and looks like storms are going to be in a lot of states.

We get summer storms but they don't last long.
All it does is make it more humid here once storms stop.
Had a heavy rain yesterday for 15 minutes ( if that long)
and then the heat and humidity kicked in.

Your area could get some rain if predictions stay as is
Hope you stay safe and don’t lose power during if it picks up later this week.

 

[schumigirl]

Happy Birthday to one of our lovely ladies on the SAN thread

Our mate Vicki (Tink1957)

Have a great Day Vicki.......

Ouch....that looks rough!! Hope it`s not too painful for him.......never heard of that one!!!

Yes, turkey bacon shouldn`t be a thing.......

Have a lovely weekend, it`s a shame the Vegas trip is postponed.....but I`m sure it`ll still be a celebration......have fun!!!

Good evening every one. Semi productive day today. I did some laundry and later dh and I sorted some puzzle pieces. Now I'm being lazy and watching Ant Man and the Wasp.

Yes, I do. I'm just praying nothing happens to meet this one up.

Geez, I hope not. We only recently got a decent stock of TP backl in our local Kroger.

I love Autumn too......I actually like all seasons in their own way, but I love heat. Don`t get me wrong, wouldn`t live in Florida full time......but yes, when we visit we do enjoy that heat whatever temp it is!




It was hot last night but not overpoweringly so......so we slept well.....although around 3am we heard some foxes having a fight......lasted about 20 minutes, they are so noisy! They were just in the trees, so couldn`t see them. Nature is wonderful except when it keeps you awake....

Sun is shining again today....mid 70`s forecast which will be nice....feels lovely this morning, very fresh.

Bacon on the go for breakfast in a little while.....having some ginger tea while everyone else is asleep......

No plans for today, but think it`s pizza takeout again tonight, always enjoy that.

​

 

[Realfoodfans]

Morning all - we were up early as J was excited to play on the x box in our holiday home! Has Nintendo at home but really wants the x box! Kev has been round the lake with the dog and on his own at his pace didn’t take long.

Bacon for breakfast except L who doesn’t eat bread......but eats toast.

Sky overcast but warm and meant to brighten later. We are ordering take out fish and chips for tonight from a famous place just five minutes from the park - apparently popular with celebrities.

Happy Saturday everyone.

 

[Lynne G]

Ah, welcome to a Saturday, and a new month. Yay!

Yeah, so much for sleeping late.

Good Morning, Schumi. Sounds like 70’s weather is perfect. You had a very hot one yesterday. Was in the news last night, the English having a very hot Friday. We will be in the high 80’s today, as a very sunny morning, turning to clouds and sun this afternoon. No rain chances said, that is for the next couple of days.

Real, good morning to you too. Cute, all excited to play a game. Yeah, older one has an Xbox. He and little one both play on it. Sounds like some nice weather, and yay, take out for dinner tonight. Fish and chips sounds great. Not sure what dinner we are having yet.

Ah, since I am up early, remote for me, and a cup of tea. And yeah,
