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

[Lynne G]

Sounds perfect for a Sunday, Metro.

Going to be a full flight and kids already crying. Glad I’m at least in the A group. Should announce need help boarding first soon. At least I hope we take off on time. Soon as I stepped out of the USO, the AC must have been on high inside the terminal. Almost wish I had a jacket. At least music is trying to be heard over that loud crying kid. Sigh. Thankfully, only a couple of hours flight, and I have ear buds.

 

[macraven]

Lynne you will be in Orlando for lunch time
Nice way to start the vacation!
Safe travels

 

[Metro West]

Have a good trip Lynne. I'm trying to hold off the storms until later this afternoon.

I am in a Stephen King kind of mood today...especially after watching a video about Salem's Lot yesterday. That mini-series still spooks me. I have several movies like Carrie, Christine, The Shining and Doctor Sleep.

I'll just pick one and and go with it.

Good Sunday morning everyone

Sitting in the piazza having my coffee this morning. Watching people coming and going. Going to the pool for awhile.

I remember there was a sign that used to be up in Smokey Bones on the 192, it said Plants are living things too......I had it made into a birthday card for her......lol......no wonder she doesn`t like me.......lol.....

LOL…..I bet she was appreciative of that card…..did you see her face when she opened it.

I remember a serious vegan told me that she would only eat fruit that had fallen to the ground already. I told her a diet of fallen fruit could be tiresome. I asked her about how she felt about pulling veggies from the ground as she would be committing vegetable murder…...she walked away. Was said in jest

Glad the headache cleared and you`re doing better......nice picture of the castle and hope you sleep well. And hope you enjoyed Confisco`s, one of our favourite places that sometimes doesn`t get the love it deserves.

Food was very good and service outstanding at Confisco. Enjoyed the quiet of the pass holder dining room that is open now.

A YouTube vlogger came in and sat near me. She was recording for her channel. We had a nice chat.

Rest of the day, no idea yet, it`s one of my friends birthdays so will go drop off her card and gift, she did tell me it was also her dog`s birthday too...... Not sure what I`m supposed to do about that........it`s a dog.

Some folks are really into celebrating their pets birthdays and Christmas. I always give the grand dogs treats approved by the family.

So, early walk again this morning before we need to go buy a few fresh items for next few days. Thinking roast rack of lamb for dinner tonight, doesn`t take long to cook like a full leg and very tasty.

Enjoy your walk. Food sounds yummy as usual.

Robo, when do you leave? I hope your back is feeling better today. Yeah, I’ve heard rainy HHN nights were had since it started. Though I also heard it did not much lessen the crowds. I do have a cheap poncho, but hoping tonight MonyK and I have a dry night. My phone says good chances of rain from late afternoon until around 7 tonight. But as it’s still that more like Summer time, yeah some rain falling almost daily, is expected this time of year. But we were very lucky last month, the only heavy rain we got was when we were at the pool, and then only a few times, light, and very quick, rain showers. And they actually felt good, as was icky hot that week we were there.

I don’t leave until Thursday.

Yes, a good pour down Friday and Saturday evening. Days have been lovely though.

Sun is shining this morning. Temps are nice.

45 minute drive, no line for a kiosk, checked in, no line to drop off bag, no line to wait for agent in pre check. No line through security, happily enjoying quiet at the yay, it’s opens USO. Will wait until closer to my flight time, before I depart. Ugh, even with early bird purchase, I’m at the last number or close to it in the A group. Eh, as a single I may get lucky and snag a up closer seat.

Have a great flight Lynne.


Have a good flight monyK.


I’am off to the pool.

 

[keishashadow]

My anticipated day: Football, wings, more football, Halloween decorations =

for all those heading to HHN…hope you get your pants scared off, need gory details we are T -6 & counting.

I hate when that happens to me

typing everything with two thumbs is a pain
for me when my post goes poof

maybe try the toes?

Headache did resolve. I think it might have been something I ate at the steak restaurant. Back is still tender, but enjoying the distraction of vacation. Avoiding rides that could make things worse.

be well & have fun

Back in my room with my feet propped up. Decided not to go into HHN this evening.

Had a long day. I had my UMH tour this morning and did a little park time after.

Went into Confisco for a light dinner while it was pouring rain. Then I hung around for the first night of the return of The Dark Arts show in Hogsmeade.

we are long past the point of being able to do both parks in the day & HHN at night. Only did the long tour, then HHN together once. Couldn’t believe how many miles we racked up that day on the fitbits.

Rest of the day, no idea yet, it`s one of my friends birthdays so will go drop off her card and gift, she did tell me it was also her dog`s birthday too...... Not sure what I`m supposed to do about that........it`s a dog.

give that dog a bone? what are the odds of them sharing a BD lol?

Ugh, even with early bird purchase, I’m at the last number or close to it in the A group. Eh, as a single I may get lucky and snag a up closer seat.

they really push EB now. Not quite the necessity to avoid getting bumped on oversold flights, thinking it’s a remote possibility

especially after watching a video about Salem's Lot yesterday

Love that adaptation, so under ranked

I remember a serious vegan told me that she would only eat fruit that had fallen to the ground already. I told her a diet of fallen fruit could be tiresome. I asked her about how she felt about pulling veggies from the ground as she would be committing vegetable murder…..,,she walked away. Was said in jest

LOL beware low hanging fruits, let alone the stuff the worms are vying for on the ground

I’am off to the pool.

Me too, just probably one of the last dips in the backyard one. Have fun!

 

[Monykalyn]

Yeah HHN last night was BUSY- EP worth its price. Did 8 houses in 3 hours before calling it a night. Not drenching rain but steady “spit” rain. Glad to have hat! Breakfast this am with kiddo and pickup of owners locker. Now nap time I think-or soon. Headed into parks for a bit but going back to room soon for sleep while it rains lol!
beetlejuice and Hill house like stepping into film sets but not too scary. Some good jumps with case files, tooth fairy and bride

Love them all! I never quite enjoyed Pet Semetary, kind of gross......but love The Shining and the others. Haven`t watched Salem`s Lot in over 20 years.

What did you think of the movie Dr Sleep? I enjoyed the book more than the film, but then I`m not a fan of Mr McGregor, so may have been biased.

Enjoy your movie day!

Yes, I was there when she opened the card......my friend, her sister mysteriously had to go look for something as she opened it.....she wasn`t hanging around.....lol....but she gave the tightest smile and said thank you......I think she wanted to hit me with her gift!! Yes, they don`t seem to have much of a sense of humour about being a vegan.....dull as dishwater. I will remember vegetable murder.....haha

Glad you enjoyed Confisco, it really is a little gem of a place.

Have a lovely time at the pool today......

I think it`s actually the day she got the dog, I`m sure it was around 8 weeks old when she got it, but she "likes" them to share a birthday. She mentions it every year and as I don`t believe in buying gifts for pets (yes, I`m a horrible insensitive person apparently with this lol) but it ain`t never gonna happen. Love her to bits though.....and my friend too......boom boom!!!!

Enjoy your pol time too and football......sounds like a fun day.......

Glad you`re having fun and rain can`t last forever........





Yes, my friends dog got gifts........crazy to me, but each to their own, I don`t mind being in the minority there! She did like her gift though, so I was happy about that.

Walk this morning was the busiest we had seen it so early in the morning for ages.....it was warm though, just dull. Rain never did appear, but looks ominous now.

Rack of lamb was nice, I think I did everyone`s a little too pink, but suited me fine.....lol.....they all ate it and no complaints.

Been a funny day today, feels very long but we`ve done a lot. Managed to get a reservation for Sunday lunch at a hotel we wanted to eat at in the Cotswolds, but no bookings left for regular dinner, so, quite happy with that.

Time for a pot of tea.

 

[Lynne G]

Ah. late arrival, now waiting for luggage. Busy at the airport.

Don’t blame ya for wanting a nap, MonyK.

I l liked the story more than the movie although there were plenty of nostalgic moments showing sets from The Shining...but since its a sequel that's the whole point.

Pet Sematary was an OK film but I liked the story better. King's stories are very hard to translate to film because while a story might be scary the film looks ridiculous. The Shawshank Redemption was an excellent film and I didn't know he'd written that story since it wasn't in the horror genre.

I watched Carrie this afternoon and had forgotten how great that movie was.

 

[Charade67]

Happy Sunday. It's a lazy one here. Dh is watching football. I am trying not to fall asleep in front of the TV,

I could totally see people living in a big city with public transport or walkability not wanting or needing to drive, but everywhere else in the US, you really need to be able to drive.

Public transportation is not great where I live. I don't think the busses even come out to my suburb. We are going to strongly encourage B to get her license this summer.

woke up, still sore, now has pin point white bumps under the skin. DH ’joked’ they may be ‘Laid eggs’. he was almost kicked out of bed.

Not something to joke about. Hope it is better soon.

not sure how it is elsewhere in the country, they are still quite trendy here, with the millennials. along with the dreaded man bun. I don’t judge, safest way to let that freak flag fly is with your hair IMO

Not a fan of the mullet or man bun either.

The car my son will drive, a Mini Cooper, has what they call "hill climb assist". It keeps the car from rolling backwards. It's pretty awesome, especially for a new driver.

If all goes well, B will get her father's Honda Fit, and he will get a new car.

Quick evening stop in while watching the Nascar night race tonight.

That was a nail biter.

Night light from Castle show this evening.

Very nice.

I remember there was a sign that used to be up in Smokey Bones on the 192, it said Plants are living things too......I had it made into a birthday card for her......lol......no wonder she doesn`t like me.......lol.....

That's hilarious.

Can you see Louie peeping round the corner!

Hi Louie!

Going to be a full flight and kids already crying.

Hope the kids stopped and you had a good flight.

Some folks are really into celebrating their pets birthdays and Christmas. I always give the grand dogsapproved by the family.

Caspian occasionally gets a birthday or Christmas gift, but it is usually something he needed anyway - replace a broken toy, scratcher, or new bag of treats. He is much more interested in the wrapping paper, bags, and empty boxes.

Speaking of Christmas, we have decided not to give each other any big gifts this year since we are spending so much on house renovations. I did tell dh that I was buying some stocking stuffers. (Already purchased a few.) Now he is asking me what I want as a stocking stuffer. I have no idea what to tell him.

 

[keishashadow]

Finally, got hill house done. Wowzers, was good. The jump scare early on in last episode got me so good, I levitated off bed & woke the mr up out of a sound

this, literally, does take the cake Went to
A fish fry here earlier this year…

Charges have been filed in connection with a baby shower shooting in Westmoreland County that left three people injured Saturday.

Xxxx 25, of Arnold, has been charged with aggravated assault and reckless endangerment.


Three people were taken to the hospital following the shooting at the Kinloch Volunteer Fire Department's social hall in Lower Burrell.

Lower Burrell Police Chief John Marhefka said in a news conference around 11:15 p.m. the shooting was an isolated family incident during a baby shower with around 25-30 people in attendance.

A family argument broke out during the party and turned physical — Hampton allegedly ended up pulling out a 9 mm gun and opened fire, according to the chief.

A 23-year-old man, a 19-year-old woman and a 16-year-old boy sustained gunshot wounds. Two were transported to Allegheny General Hospital, and one person was transported to Forbes Hospital, according to Westmoreland County 911 dispatch.

Chief Marhefka said their injuries are non-life-threatening.

Police on scene located the Suspect as he was exiting the building and took him into custody.

The Westmoreland County Detective Bureau and Lower Burrell police are continuing to investigate.

Soniam - I can’t believe I never heard of hill
Assist on a manual!

Not drenching rain but steady “spit” rain.

I realize it’s been an active tropical season but, what’s with all the evening rain this year during the event? Afternoon pop up showers Usually outta there by then

thanks for the report

I don`t believe in buying gifts for pets (yes, I`m a horrible insensitive person apparently with this lol)

Not something to joke about. Hope it is better soon.

We run on dark humor here. Otherwise, would’ve gone stark raving mad dealing with my family

Not a fan of the mullet or man bun either

When it comes to hair, Once you’ve had a kid come home with a reverse mullet the weekend before senior pictures, nothing much phases y

 

[Charade67]

When B was 4 she found a pair of scissors and decided she needed a haircut. I can laugh about it now, but.......

 

[keishashadow]

Oh my goodness charade.

 

[Charade67]

She was home with her dad when it happened. The worst part was HE DIDN’T EVEN NOTICE!!
I freaked when I got home. The next day I took her to a salon where she got a bob cut. She said she wanted to look like Dora the Explorer.

Agreed.

I hated Shawshank, couldn`t last through it, but I hate prison films, real life documentaries about prison I love weirdly.....

Carrie is a classic.

Oh I thought it was hilarious too......so did everyone else, except her.....lol.....she doesn`t like me as I call her out on her nonsense all the time. In return she calls me Princess and thinks that will upset me......haha......

Lots of little gifts are a lovely idea Charade.....

Oh nice picture of your daughter.....lol......

What a terrible event you posted! Goodness me, how dreadful.

I forgot what that scare is in that episode....need to watch it again.

Oh I`ve been called horrible with lack of understanding getting "birthday presents" for animals.....lol.....

I like dark humour too....sometimes some folks you have to deal with you need it!!



Lazy night for us......watched some tv and wrote some emails and chatted on the phone a little....ideal Sunday night.

Looks to be a lovely week ahead weather wise, so will make the most of it.....

Hope everyone`s had a lovely weekend......

I also watched the behind the scenes of The Fog, Carrie and Halloween.

I'm in the middle of Roses are Red by James Patterson which I've read before but its been a long time. He's another author I really like.

My mother is a big JP fan, he`s not for me at all.....cannot get into his books at all.

I love behind the scenes shows.....we rewatched The Fog last month, original only, never the dreadful remake. There is something very eerie about that movie. Whenever we get fog roll in from the sea here, my simple little mind goes straight to Antonio Bay

There are so many trivia connections between The Fog and Halloween too.

Yes...I don't watch remakes either plus the remake of the Fog wasn't even the same story.

I heard someone was going to try and remake Christine...yeah right.

View from room:



Hope it is quiet. Meeting up with MonyK later, as we both want to wait out the rain that is to come. Had quite the downpour around 3:30 this afternoon.

Hope all have a nice Sunday night.
