Something About Nothing ... #12

[Lynne G]

Yay! Buckeev is enjoying the food and fun! Rock on Buckeev.

Robo, so happy to hear you will be well taken care of. Eek, never heard of stones there. Sending lots of mummy dust, and you are always welcome to email or call if ya want to chat. Slippers would be nice too, those hospital foot coverings have something to be desired.

Charade , yay to B. Yep, hair, nails and make up will be little one in two weeks. Wishing B some fun at the junior prom tonight. Picture, please.

Patty, freezing rain and ice? No thanks. We hope to be gone of that until next year. Our only day around 82. Then Mother Nature said, here is a low, and rain and more rain for the next 2 days, and a 40 degree drop in temperature later tonight.

Well, lazy morning for me. DH left at 6, I took a hot shower, then load of laundry before older one up and already online shooting up bad guys with his friends. Just told little one to get out of bed. She may have been awake, but is not an early bird. May have to check if she is up, did not hear her, older one had some choice words for the game.

Okay, time for bacon, eggs, and rye toast. Tea for me, coffee for the kids.

Enjoy, and have a satisfying Saturday! Sending mummy dust and good thoughts to all the homies that need it.

What? That was a noisy truck or car?

Good Morning everyone! Its a beautiful sunny day here - almost 70! I have the windows open- letting in all the fabulous fresh air. Too bad tomorrow is going to be icy and rainy- I got out this morning to take a 4 mile walk with my pup- now Im off to shop for new kitchen cabinets.

Hope everyone is having a great day!

 

[Charade67]

now Im off to shop for new kitchen cabinets.

I’m so envious. I want to shop for new kitchen cabinets. Mine are so ugly. We are planning to have a full kitchen renovation in a few years.

 

[buckeev]

Quick drive by....
Robo....Glad you're "semi-back" up-n-runnin'! RE: The Hospital Gowns...You're gonna hafta strike the Vogue pose for us!

I try to stay out of grocery stores on Saturdays as they ate packed most of that day

But had to get some basic groceries
( eggs, bread, ice cream, etc)

No crowds and registers all were open
Lucky day for me
Walmart is always busy

Charade did you get Mr Charade last night?
Bet he was happy to be back home

Ckmiles, had to think twice which state you lived in when you said it was about 70 today

Hope Sunday does not get stinky cold

Lynne, I taught my boys to do their laundry when they were 13

It gave me a break from being tied up on Saturday as only day of the week I had time to do the house

They boys did their laundry during the week most of the time

Hope all the homies have a great weekend!

I’m gonna be in front of the tv Sunday evening
WD and FD

Yay

Interesting day here. Didn’t know they were having a rabies clinic at vet’s office. A walk up sort of thing they have for charity. I had put my pooch down on the special spot, after getting out of car to relieve himself. Bent down to pick him up, turned around and i see a large dog that appeared to be half boxer/pit bull lung at me. Had shorts on sincce near 80 here, he gouged my lower leg leaving a good penny sized piece of skin flap in the wind and me bleeding like a stuck pig.

Here’s where it gets good, the dog (loosely attached to his skin-head of an owner via a generic large chain-chain - not a traditional collar/chain setup) follows his owner. They hop into pickup truck and take of. I ddin’t get a plate number, too shook up.

Naturally, he was there for the clinic, vet had no record of them having an appointment. They said i should be ok, chances low even if dog had rabies his saliva had transferred to his toe nails but still...wah

The mr says if I start howling at the moon tonight he’s crating me LOL

Ahh- lucky Pittsburgh fan! I so envy those fans- good in every sport! and winners! Here in Buffalo we just dream of a big win in some sport. There's a t-shirt people wear to Bills games that says " One before I die" referring to a Super Bowl win!

Ok- easy then- I can watch the game and root for both teams!

I was actually pulling for the newbie Las Vegas team too!

Yes, they have Fluery, he is missed. Glad to see him doing so well.

Probably, way before your time but Jim Kelly is from our parts. Always stuck me as such a gent

Our local ( city) train has an airport line. So from my suburban station, about 5 minutes car ride from home, it is about an hour train ride right to the terminals. If it is our family, about an hour car ride. So, if just 1 or 2 if us, cheaper and easier to ride the train and avoid all the traffic, as we have to go through the city, and it is never not busy.

MonyK, oh no, sick bay for you too. Hope you feel better soon and will enjoy that cook off. Yep, family sharing is how I got my cold as well.

Train from city is running late, thought I would have been home by now.

Now, how cool is that? Both having a plane & rail service to airport!

We decided to book a hotel @ airport and park our car there for the two weeks we’ll be gone soon. It worked out much cheaper than the usual offsite place we use and will get to sleep in a bit longer. No experience with LaQuinta brand. Got good enough reviews on tripadvisor. Longs as no bugs & bed is comfy i’m Golden for one night

A big ........woohoo....... to buckeev have a great time at Universal with your family and eat a voodoo donut for me.

Welcome back! Was worried about you, glad to see you are hanging in there!

Yes, buckeev, we need food porn pics of dem dough-doughs posthaste

Morning all!

Robo- glad to hear you're getting better! You even put a Universal spin on your illness- Hulk size stones! Sending well wishes and more prayers your way! Thanks for the minion pictures!

Lynne- Go Flyers!!

Janet- We'll get the Flyers next game!

Schumi- How true about going out and looking less than "put together"! Happened a few times to me- gotta put the makeup on even if I just run into a store for cat food!

Getting ready for freezing rain and ice later today! 19 days until Orlando!!

Got to say I told you so to Lynne, we’re even now. Hope it’s a good series! Will be shocked if it’s a three-peat for us this year. Think we’ve run out of steam.

 

[pattyw]

The mr says if I start howling at the moon tonight he’s crating me LOL

But seriously, that's horrible about that dog!! even more so about the irresponsible owner! You should be fine but geez people- keep your dogs under control!

Probably, way before your time but Jim Kelly is from our parts. Always stuck me as such a gent

Not before my time! That was the glory days of the Bills!! He was always so proud of his home town- can't think of the name now! He calls Buffalo home now. He's been battling a few rounds of cancer- cancer just came back and he's been in NYC for surgery. We're all sending prayers his way. He is a special guy indeed!!

buckeev, we need food porn pics of dem dough-doughs posthaste

Yes please!
DS went there a couple of weeks ago and said the line was huge but the donut yummy!!

 

[Lynne G]

Eek Keisha! Scary. I hate irresponsible dog owners. As an owner of large dogs, including a boxer, I have never had them loose like that. Though my two labs had a fight over food when young, and the canine tooth of the male went right through the meat of DH’s hand. Male dog stopped immediately, and ran away. Dog was horrified he hurt DH. When we got a good look at him, we noticed the female had sliced him along his neck, so both were bleeding. DH still has a scar from that punchure. We used a few tubes of antibiotic on the dog, and he recovered too.

Did some errands, now to get gas and return a purchase that DH made, that he does not want.

Ah, almost hot. 82, and I have shorts, sandals and a T-shirt on. Sunglasses and a hat as well. Blue sky, I could get used to you.

 

[pattyw]

Lynne- lucky you! Temps are dropping here- freezing rain will start soon. DH is getting the generator ready- high winds and ice are expected along with downed trees and power outages! We have a lot of wine ready!!

 

[schumigirl]

We loved our voodoo donuts.......even better getting them a day before the store opened!

Story coming up on trip report.........


Janet Just what you needed.............

We had a beautiful day here, but cold again tonight.......

Warming up with a Tequila Sunrise........very 1980’s with the straw and umberella..........

Friends who had gone to Universal and Disney with their kids for the first time came round tonight to tell us all about it......they loved it!! And brought us back two little Mickey and Minnie wine stoppers......they are so cute!! And a bottle of sparkly too........they know us so well......

But, I was happy to hear they loved Universal and everything there.........they loved Disney too, but preferred Universal......2 little girls, 8 and 10.........

Tried to watch a Will Ferrell movie again tonight........The House.........unfunny doesn’t begin to describe it......have yet to find a movie he’s in we like.........

 

[keishashadow]

crap, forgot stop @ liquor store so i could make those tequila sunrises carole’s Been talking about lol. Corona will have to do the trick tonight, maybe two . Need to get training for vacation mode

But seriously, that's horrible about that dog!! even more so about the irresponsible owner! You should be fine but geez people- keep your dogs under control!

East Brady. My DH had elderly family there. Literally, nothing there, as far out in the boonies as it gets lol

It was hard to hear he had another battle on his hands. Didn’t know having surgery

Ha don’t get used to that sun...we’re forecast snow sunday night thru tues. Showers i hope. I’m always happy to wave at it as it heads your way lol

I had several breeds of large dogs over the years. Most gentle, would want to snuggle like lap dogs. It’s my smallest one that was ferocious - go figure. Small dog syndrome maybe haha. Same thing thou, she’d nip me and then be oh-so sorry when overly excited. Could actually see in in her face. Didn’t stop her from doing it all over again tho

 

[macraven]

Janet....ouch!!!!!

I have such a fear of dogs and can’t imagine you getting bit

Hopefully it will heal and no infection happens

Hope you have some smilie face bandaids to put on your boo boo

If you have any minion bandaids, your injury will heal faster

 

[Squirlz]

Our Cars & Coffee for tomorrow has been postponed due to the FREEZING RAIN that has been predicted. When is this crap gonna stop?

 

[pattyw]

I feel your pain! Same here! Freezing rain/ice storm warning tonight thru tomorrow afternoon. Up to 1/2 inch of ice possible!! Yikes! We're hunkered down with food and wine!!

 

[Lynne G]

Hopefully soon for you, Squirlz, and Patty. We lucky, soaking rain, even if only in the 40’s.
On the way back from the mall, little one needed a dress for field trip on Monday, all we could smell from our open car windows was everyone BBQing in their back and side yards. So, brisket, chicken breasts, and a sausage all coated with honey bbq sauce, with mashed taters, Mac and cheese, and even fries. Food coma commencing, and some left over. Midnight snacking?

B-ball on tonight. Not a big fan, but something to watch. I may watch the Zoo on my iPad to supplement. Quiet night is fine for me. Crossing fingers and toes the bad weather homies get not much.

I need a lovely cup of tea. Little one and older one are getting into the ice cream. I may take out some of the water ice, or maybe not. Tea it is.

 

[Monykalyn]

Good to hear Robo is doing better. Yeah those darn stones can form even without the storage pocket to keep them in.
Keisha- irresponsible dog owners really tick me off! Hope the leg heals well, we have a lab that is more likely to lick you than bark. Of course I have my "attack" chickens, although they really only attack if you have food you don't share.

And I have a broody hen. She won't let me get the eggs from under her. Now I'm going to have to read on how to break her of this- we don't have a rooster so she's not gonna have babies. Although I could get a couple fertilized eggs I suppose...

Prom tonight- how fun!

Feeling better but tired! Event went well, over $15k in cash to bank - won't know final numbers for a few days until credit is tallied up, final vendor payments out etc. but the cash is pure profit as we started the event with expenses covered in sponsorship. Lots of good Cajun food and lots of variety- including a lasagne dish Cajun style. Sooo good and the dish won first place.

Cold today and colder tomorrow.

We've got a friend taking his daughter to Disney and Universal in may- they arrive the day after I leave. They've already got the uni tickets and sounds like he got the EP as well. Only going to MK though. So many new things at Universal I couldn't help him much- it's been 3 years since we were there. Have a feeling they will be hooked on Universal...

May be early night. Peppermint tea is hittin the spot

 

[macraven]

Monyk, is the broody hen the one that is more human than chicken?
Meaning the one that makes herself home in your house?

 

[Charade67]

Good evening everyone. B is at the prom. I hope she is having a good time. We almost had a crisis today. She had a hair appointment this afternoon. I thought the salon was going to do both hair and makeup. I was wrong. Thankfully I was saved by the local Clinique counter. I think the girl did a very nice job with B’s makeup. I think I may go see her in July when dh and I are going to a wedding of a couple of his former students.

Macraven - Dh is home safe and sound. I like that you consider ice cream to be a grocery basic.

Keisha - Yikes! Hope th dog bike isn’t too serious. I hate irresponsible pet owners. I used to have a terrible fear of dogs. I am still very cautious around them.

Schumi - I think I have seen only one Wil Ferrell movie. I thought Elf was cute, but none of his other movies appeal to me.

Lynne - Your dinner sounds wonderful. I can’t wait until we get a grill and can cook out.

Sorry to hear that some of y’all will be gettting freezing rain. We are supposed to get thunderstorms tomorrow. Sounds like a good day to stay home.

 

[schumigirl]

Janet I had an extra one for you last night......... Yes, I`m that good a friend that`ll take the hit........

squirlz........weather doesn't sound nice at all!!!!

Charade never seen Elf as he was in it.......I should know by now he`s just not funny to us.......

MonyK......well done on your event!!! Quite a result.......


Gallstones are awful........I had my gallbladder out years ago, think I was 34.......never known pain like it, till it was removed. One attack left me in hospital for 9 days, eventually had to take me off of the morphine as I had been on it too long.......now, that was a headache when they stopped that!!!
