Something About Nothing ... #12

Gas prices are going up here where I am also.
Ended up paying $2.48 a gallon today.

I should have filled up when it was cheaper!

Good morning Sans

Last night while trying to feed the two outside fur babies a representative of a skunk family and a raccoon family showed up on my porch for the food . The cats had some and so did they. I am going to have to try and feed them earlier. We left the door open a little and one of the cats popped her head in a minute. I am hoping we can do this without trapping them. I just have to figure out where to find them a home.

I have to try and figure out tonight's menu.I am


I am off to venture into the unknown of cleaning and laundry! I hope everyone has a great day.

My guess is Bobbie is still dealing with laundry and cleaning as that is the last we have heard from her today
Lol

It is a good thing that the skunk and the raccoon did not pop their head into your house when you opened the door

Hope the kitties will warm up to you and come inside

It will take time for them to get used to people

 

[Monykalyn]

I’m just gonna ditto all the shoutouts MAC did in earlier post. Trying to quote on iPad is just too hard for my fat fingers lol!
Do know Schumi needs a HAPPY BIRTHDAY and hope she’s safely in Orlando and that Patty gets a HAPPY ANNIVERSARY! And that several others need to dry out from the rain.
Trying not to get too much blood sucked from pesky bugs at sons soccer practice. I’m on duty tonight as DH needed to mow. Off to Fayetteville tomorrow for family weekend at oldest college. Then 3 more days of work next week and off to Orlando! Hoping to do a meetup with a few peeps!

Ugh gas is higher here. Need to stop at the station that was still $2.55 as saw signs being changed to $2.65/gallon on way home.

Summers back a bit with humidity going back up, mid 80’s and sunny. Cuddle chicken got in today- knew she was somewhere as I saw feathers everywhere (molting). Caught her strolling into kids room- obviously headed to the bed for a nap. Must have come in when we were rearranging the chocolate delivery and stuff.

I’m hungry. Maybe doing a Taco Bell run with the kid when he’s done...

 

[macraven]

Oh shoot!!

I missed a homie on my roll call

Ckmiles...

I’m so sorry I did not get you in on the shout outs !

So now you get a post all for yourself

That is wonderful if doing the volunteer day
Everyone feels good that are involved

And the help extended to others can make a change in many lives

I remember your trip dates as I go to Orlando two day after you

Maybe next trips we do we will be able to connect

I hope you get to see many of the homies there !

Each trip I make to Orlando, I plan on a diet months before I go

Well this trip the diet was thought about a lot...
And maybe next year I will start one so I don’t look as fat as I really am
Lol

Hope you have the nearest trip ever!

 

[macraven]

And Monyk

Is our cuddle chicken still in the bed?
She has one of the best lives of any chick I have ever seen

Do chickens sleep lying down or so they just go into a sitting position?
Is that called roosting?

I need to improve on my chicken lingo

 

[keishashadow]

Sticky here, made worse by ironing pile of stuff for kiddo, took over an hour. iPod made it go just a bit faster at least. I was questioned as to the wisdom of dancing when ironing, doesn’t everyone?

Took a quick glance in order to be current and hope I include everyone with my speed reading above


Schumi birthday and she and Tom spent it on a plane ride.
Not a bad thing since it lands in Orlando and a few weeks at UO!

Its also a day of celebration at the tgrgrl homestead.
Her Mom celebrates a birthday also.

hooray for her Mom!

because of her, we have tgrgrl here with us!


And lets also remember it is pattyw and Joe's big day.
31 years of sweet marriage....


Hope she does not have to cook tonight
.......chinese take out is always good.


Robbie
I just adore all the minions that you come up with.
I have a real thing for them.

Yea, I'm excited we are doing the UTH tour and the private tour
If it wasn't for you, i would not have signed up for the Q & A session for AP holders.
When I first read about it I thought, it is probably too late to get a seat for it.
But once you mentioned it to me, got signed up and looking forward to it.

I read in other threads the day after I signed up, all spots were filled.
So a big thank you for lighting a fire under my butt to get me moving on filling out the form.

Dammit Janet
Those pictures are just too kewl.
Rocky Horror Picture Show .......
I still miss that show they did at hhn...
and I knew all the words which embarrassed anyone I was sitting with at those shows....
I believe in audience ...participation....

Lynne
Fridays should be part of everyone's weekend.
Your 4 day work weeks are the way to live.
Sounds like you do your dinners the same way when my boys lived at home.
3 or 4 different meals on some nights.

Tink
Lack of sleep is always the best answer
It works for me.

See you on Wednesday at Epcot


charade

I'm in the same group as you when it comes to tofu.
Never ate it, never will
Just make a meatloaf and call it dinner

Hope the installers do a great job on the floor and your daughter loves it.

Stay safe if you are near the area where Florence has and will hit!

Oh, typing on a phone is not easy.
I'm finally on my imac and don't know how I have managed so far using the iphone to do messages and posts.
So time consuming to correct typos so I usually leave them as they are in posts.


Now if I missed anyone, I will catch up with you later.

Hope all stay safe where you are.
Good thoughts and prayers for all in the area of Florence.


Some days I am busy from the time I get up until I get ready to go to bed.
Today has been busy for me and I feel like I have another day to handle house stuff before the weekend.

I usually stay in the ac house once it heats up outside but not today.
The high today hit 92 and now has dropped to 90.
Nights are cool but that happens around 2 in the morning
I'm sleeping and never know the temps until I look them up the next day.

I'm in northern georgia and no change of weather here until Monday.
Should be getting rain that morning and could go throughout the day.
Weather so unpredicatable at times and could be a rain that is over after a few hours?

When it rains, that means the grass grows more.
This summer have had the yard done every 6 days.
A few weeks did manage to go 7 days without a mowing..

I’ll do the time warp with you any day of the week lol

Gas prices are going up here where I am also.
Ended up paying $2.48 a gallon today.

$3.06 & rising here. They’ll blame the storm and jack it up a dime by saturday.

And Monyk

Is our cuddle chicken still in the bed?

Do chickens sleep lying down or so they just go into a sitting position?
Is that called roosting?

I need to improve on my chicken lingo

Yep it’s called roosting. And cuddle chicken will lay on you if held, with her legs kicked out to side. But at night they sit on a bar in coop and lower their body to cover their feet.
She’s a bit awkward here, and my son is really the only one she really just sprawls on this way but she’s such a chill bird.

Diva chicken was got in the house over weekend (well middle brought her in to FaceTime with older sister who wanted to see her “baby”). Diva is the one who thought she was a dog too. She went to the spot where his bed used to be and just stood there for a minute or two before giving a confused little squawk. It was kinda sad.

Going to have to bathe in Benadryl cream to sleep tonight. Either that or scratch some skin off. Bug spray just doesn’t work for me like it should!

 

[Lynne G]

MonyK, enjoy reading about the chickens too. Yep, we have some spoiled ones next to me, but I think the guy would not let her bring any into their house. They take care of them round the clock.

With that, rain to greet the day, and an accident just down the street is the news this morning. Will be ready to wake the kids soon.

But, what day is it? Yes, homies, it is a Friday!



With that, need to jump in the shower as I holler to the kids to get up. Though I think older one has an online class today, so only one name will be called, generally the one who’s response will be salty and annoyed complaint.

Have a fabulous Friday homies, hope Schumi landed safely, and is waking up to the beautiful Florida sunshine. And a big Wahoo for the rest of us having that morning wake up sooner than later. In the teens now.

Ack, September is trucking by quick.

Lastly, sending lots of good thoughts to those in the hurricane’s path, may all stay safe and dry, and all have no to little damage to that they own.

 

[schumigirl]

Thanks for the lovely birthday wishes........appreciate it........


Quick drive by..........

Arrived safe after a longer than usual flight, just under 10 hours ........avoiding the weather system made us fly further North, but made it safely and so happy to be back home!

Love being back at RP.........

Made it to 11pm last night which was fabulous for us.........woke at 3 bright as a button......body was still thinking it was 8am and I should be up! But, got back to sleep........massive thunderstorm last night......watched it from Jake’s.......

Breakfast will be soon, then some shopping I think, taking it easy and then HHN tonight..........

And we have that fabulous Maserati again...........

Have a great Friday everyone.........

 

[tink1957]

Good morning

Glad to see our Carole made it "home" safely...at least her 2nd home. See you soon.

Only 4 days for us...maybe I need to start packing soon and find the time to get my haircut and pedicure.

Cute chicken pic monyk.

Thinking of all in Florence's path...especially charade and sending prayers for safety with minimal damage.

Time for coffee. I need to get to work soon.

Have a wonderful day homies

[Lynne G]

Woot, live from Schumi, fabulous reporting from RPR, and nice you got that car again. Longer, but safe flight is a win in my book too.

Bobbie, 8am weather guy says, starting to see the sun on Saturday and even more in Sunday, with a nice weekend in store for us. Low 80’s with building humidity. Sounds like a great time to go coaster riding. Hope you all have fun.

Now trying to get older one up. Hoping he takes me out for breakfast. So far, still beached in his bed. I should send in Mac’s cats to get him moving.

 

[pattyw]

I am hoping we can do this without trapping them. I just have to figure out where to find them a home.

So nice of you!

Patty- Happy Anniversary!

Happy belated Anniversary to pattyw also!

Thanks !!

Mac first night of HHN with Q&A and Houses.......17 sleeps away...

If i missed a shout out to patty & her hubs, hope you carved out some time together on your day...sans cats & kids

Thanks!!

Ugh gas is higher here. Need to stop at the station that was still $2.55 as saw signs being changed to $2.65/gallon on way home.

In New York State-home of the huge taxes, our gas price pre-hurricane was $2.99 Can't imagine what it will be now!

Diva chicken was got in the house over weekend (well middle brought her in to FaceTime with older sister who wanted to see her “baby”). Diva is the one who thought she was a dog too. She went to the spot where his bed used to be and just stood there for a minute or two before giving a confused little squawk. It was kinda sad.

That is sad but so sweet of Diva!

Prayers out to all of you that will be affected by the storm today and this weekend. Our weather is beautiful today- I think the rain heads here Monday. I'm watching the weather channel to get updates. Sad that so many lives will be affected by this storm!

Off today- have some errands to do and then lunch with my mom!

 

[Robo56]

Morning Sans family

Minions for Mrs. Mac.







Schumi glad to hear you and hubby made it safely to your favorite place.....awesome you were able to get the Maserati again. Happy shopping.

Tink get those suitcases packed. You will be on your way before you know it

Prayers for Charade and all in Hurricane path

Monyk the pic of your son and sleeping chicken is so cute.

Get well wishes to Keisha. Hope you are finding time to rest your tootsies a bit.

 

[Charade67]

Good morning everyone. We are getting a little wind and rain today, but aren’t expecting too much impact from the storm. The news is saying that we will get heavy rain on Sunday and Monday.

I was just looking at video from NC. Its just unreal to watch.

Macraven- Gas prices here have been holding steady at 2.49 for several months. I expect to see them going up soon.

Keisha - Go ahead and dance. You gotta make ironing fun somehow.

Schumi - Have a great time. Hope you don’t get much rain.

Good morning to Lynne, Patty, Tink, MonyK and everyone else who stops in.

I am waiting on my car (oil change) and then need to run by my doctors office for some blood work. Later I’m off to Home Depot. I have about $80 worth of flooring supplies I can return.

 

[macraven]

Charade how do you like the new floors?

Super that you can get a refund on the extra tiles

 

[Charade67]

The new floor looks great. I never realized how bad the old carpet looked until I looked at my before and after pictures. I can’t wait until we can redo the whole house.

 

[bobbie68]

Good morning Sans family... This is how I could be spending my day. Relaxing in the sun. We our on our 5th day of over cast skies and rain. It is zapping my energy. I love how cats can relax so nice!!!

We are leaving tomorrow morning about 7 am and will come back Sunday about 1 pm. I have a Residence Inn with 2 BR put aside. The teens have one bedroom and the living room while we have the other bedroom . There are two bathrooms. The hotel is a hot tub and pool so we go and chill after the park. We all have the dining plan so I don't have to supply any food at the park or hotel. I just bring snacks for the trip. I am looking forward to it but worried about the kitties outside. I will put down lots of food in the morning. I have to pack today and make sure I have everything because every time we go one of the teens need something.

Last night I think the skunk sprayed the raccoon. We got that awful smell in the windows right after I saw him leave. I am going to pull food at night. Brian made a bed out of a tote for now so they will have some shelter until we trap them. It could take awhile.

Tonight will probably be burgers it's quick and easy.

Lynne Thanks again for the forecast! It really helped me decide to go this weekend. I understand about getting them up in the morning. When Liv over sleeps she is a bear to get up!

Mac LOL!!!! you were right I didn't finish till later then the teens needed stuff then I started a migraine. I had to lay down or else.... I don't want one this weekend. How exciting your trip is coming up!

Schumi glad you landed at your second home. Enjoy

Monykalyn- I love the pics of cuddle chicken with your son. OMG so cute!!! I never knew they could be like that. I will have to expand my pets in the future.

Charade Glad you like your new flooring it feels so nice when it is new. Glad you are not getting much from Florence. Hope it stays that way.

Keisha dancing when doing any housework is fun and passes it quicker.

Robo I love the minion memes. Despicable me is one of my favorite rides at Universal. I love seeing the memes. Thanks!

Patty thanks and you would do the same thing

Tgrgrl It is so nice to hear that the kittens will be placed in good homes. It is hard I have had to do it. It will make you feel better if they can keep in touch too.


Well I am off to start my busy day! I hope everyone has an awesome day. Will try and pop on before I leave. to Tink, Agavegirl, Buckeev, Tlinus and Ckmiles and anyone else I missed.

 

[pattyw]

Have a fun trip Bobbie! Kitties will be ok until you return! Can’t wait to hear about love your adventures!!

 

[keishashadow]

I was wrong, gas went up $.15 a gallon. Did a drive by SAMs where it was still hovering @ $3.00. I thought price gouging was illegal during a declared emergency hmmph. The dealers should be prohibited from upping the price of what is in their tanks prior to the storm. I’d like to think those in path didn’t get taken of advantage of in this sort of fashion.

Beautiful here but a bit of humidity sneaking in, will be nice for friday night lights! We are slowly working our way thru a marathon search for the best chicken wings in area surrounding my DSs coaching gig. Far more misses than hits unfortunately but in the name of science, we continue to plug away Anyday i don’t have to cook is a good one

Thanks for the lovely birthday wishes........appreciate it........

Oh, no you didn’t get that amazing ride again!!! How will i be able to try and weasel it out of alamo when we arrive hahahaha as if they’d even let us touch it. I’d be happy to find an impala vs a toyota corolla/Nissan Sentra, even FIATs they now palm off as full size in MCO. Congrats.

Good to hear you’re out of major path of the storm. Weather junkies we are, it’s fascinating to watch, but really feel for all in the area.
