Something About Nothing..........#11

[Bluer101]

Well working outside today doing something's around the yard and house.

Then maybe sometime to install my new theater AVR. I'm driving DW crazy with all this stuff, but hey if I was not driving her crazy I'm not doing my job.

 

[schumigirl]

It's not suppose to work with PB but able to resize your photos in bulk before uploading to PB. It gets the photos down to a reasonable size for less loading times and bandwidth.

Now that makes sense

Thankfully Photobucket played nice today......so I went back and resized the pics I posted yesterday.........now they're not huge.

But I'll keep the link and hopefully one of the other two will know how to implement it next time we upload pics

Monday again...........

Starting to try and eat healthy today........but have arranged to meet a friend for coffee and lunch today.........not a good first day as we're meeting in our village coffee shop which has the best home baked stuff ever........I have to be good

As Oscar Wilde once said "I can resist everything except temptation"...........that's me

Yep, Monday stinks.

You only live once, enjoy but don't overdo it.

 

[Lynne G]

Wahoo! Monday! Car died on me on Saturday. Not fun. Costly repairs coming and borrowing a car for hopefully a few days.

Watched qualifier rounds for the Women's World Cup this week-end. It was great to see the US players in 2 games. They did advance to the World Cup. We had awesome seats.

Schumi, have a cup of tea for me. Sweets with tea don't count!

Cool and sunny morning. Fall is here.

Oh no..........hope the repairs are not too scary for your car

I forgot sweets with tea don't count......yay.......


Had to get our plumber back in today......no hot water this morning.......eek!! Had to drive round to my friends for shower and do hair.......glad she lives so close......

So told plumber I'd be in after 2........ He's just left......needed a new circuit board on the heating system.....Least it's not a new boiler

Breezy but very mild here today

 

[keishashadow]

boilers are so pricey, knock on wood! ours is limping along. nom cupcakes, can't remember last time I had one. I have been quality testing the Halloween candy.

one of my kids got a hankering for baked mac & cheese. not my favorite dish but enough hot sauce will help anything lol.

supposed to be near 80 degrees tomorrow, by Friday afternoon freezing rain & our 1st snow.don't think i'll bother taking out the big guns for fear of electronics in them going haywire in that event hmmph.

car troubles are the worse thing to go thru.

that and kids.

but i found car issues had the most headaches.

hope you get the car situation taken care of swiftly and you don't have to sell your first born in order to pay the repair bill.




had a great weather day here today.
couldn't ask for a better day.

tomorrow, the other shoe will drop and the furnace will be back on.

it was nice while it lasted.



been tired up the past couple of days or i would have been here.



hope all is going fine with the homies.

schumi, been reading your trippie and just love it.
keisha, you don't like mac and cheese????
put some ham in it and save a plate for me.

 

[macraven]

schumi, don't know how i missed it but notice i missed out on your house issues.

awful, just awful about situation with your plumber and you having to go to a friends house to shower.


now if you lived in my neck of the woods, you could have come over, showered and had a meal with me.

and we would have the tv on in the kitchen so we could eat, watch the tube and yak at the same time.

Testing halloween candy is one of the most important jobs.................I like mac n cheese.....not as much as Kyle does though......I love ours with leeks or salad onions & ham and yes hot sauce with everything for me........

Set a place mac, may take you up on the offer. I might never leave though

The new circuit board isn't working........no heating last night or this morning......it's quite mild though, at least till tomorrow......but it's having no hot water.......Tom managed to fiddle with it this morning so we all got showers but our plumber not coming back till later today as he's so busy..........

Think it's going to have to be a new boiler...................I llike spending money......just not on that kind of thing Still, can't be helped I suppose.
(Glad you enjoying the trippie)



Don't know what to make for dinner tonight........got a hankering for Mac n cheese with spicy chicken and leeks............

 

[schumigirl]

So, I'm sat eating my toast for breakfast and I put tv on in kitchen.........why oh why as soon as autumn is here they start putting cough and cold adverts on with people with hacking, horrible graphic coughs..........

We know what a cough sounds like do we really need it to be shown in such detail every time






That really is a something about nothing moan..............

 

[tink1957]

Hi

Why do I always wake up early on my day off?

I guess I could get jump on my much delayed household chores ....but that's no fun when I can spend time with my homies instead.

Lynne..sorry to hear about your car trouble...hope it gets fixed soon. I know how frustrating it is to be without one since I just went through this myself.

Carole...new boiler I just called the gas company to fill my tank for the winter and I thought that was bad...I think we all need to move to Florida so we can forget the furnaces

All this mac and cheese talk has awakened my cravings so guess whats for dinner tonight? It will pair nicely with the pulled pork in my crock pot...yum.

Happy Tuesday everyone

 

[macraven]

tuesdays will now be known as mac and cheese day........

 

[agavegirl1]

We rode Forbidden Journey with a posted 30 minute wait time b ut just walked the queue. Don't get online much during the vacation but will have a full report later.

could see snow flurries this weekend.


FJ i favor more than gringotts.
and the wait is so much shorter!

Mystic Fountain was down for maintenance the last week i was there.
it should be up now
be sure to stop by and listen to the rock.

Have an amazing time there..........looking forward to hearing about it





We need a new boiler

Don't you just hate seeing your money disappearing into something so boring as a boiler!!! They are so expensive!!!

But he's coming tomorrow and Friday to do it........thank goodness he has moved a few people around or we'd have to wait two weeks......couldn't go that long without hot water or heating.........told DH I'd move into a hotel if that was the case

Going shopping now..........Happy Wednesday

 

[Lynne G]

Wahoo! Wednesday. 59 degrees this morning, and by Sunday, the high will be lower than that, with chance of flurries! I'm not ready yet! Thank goodness the time change is this week-end. I could use it. It's the time of year when I leave and go home in the dark.

Car will be fixed by the week-end. Ugh. Talk about a money pit Schumi. I was not planning on putting that much money into the car. But, I am not ready to buy new yet, and I like my car, so this better be the last very costly repair, or it will sadly be parted with. I hope your boiler is less costly and gets fixed quickly.

Camel is now lounging in this beautiful fall weather.

 

[macraven]

Lynne G, i don't want to be first in this weather contest but it is now 43 and the best we can hope today is 45 in late afternoon.
friday is when the temps go below freezing for us.
winter will start early again this year.

i hate car troubles just like everyone else.
i do feel it is cheaper to put the money into the car then having to go with monthly payments on a new car.
crossing my fingers your car is back home with you soon and the issues won't happen again for you.

fixing a car back to running conditions is much better than using a camel to get around.

schumi, no one can live without heat and hot water very long.
let's hope the dude will be able to replace yours quickly and cheaply.

maybe if you give him a bottle of wine and chocolates, he will give you a discount on the bill......

going out shopping today will get your mind off the house troubles.
buy something nice for yourself and not just a leg of lamb.

yea, the time changes this weekend.
now it will be dark around 5 instead of 6 pm.

i've been back from vacation for almost 2 weeks.
still trying to get back into the regular routine at home.
does that happen to anyone else?
i came back home totally relaxed and recharged, now i am bored cleaning out the basement.
lol

 

[keishashadow]

That really is a something about nothing moan..............

all moans big and small can be thrown here...pretend it's a cornfield.

I quote mac on that one, had never heard it before, but anywhere I can dump worries works for me.

now thinking of those pesky children of the cornand knocking on wood as to talk of a new boiler.

carole - oh man, that stinks, at least a new one should be good for decades or as plumber told me last year "...it will outlive you...". Needless to say I didn't buy it from him.

pulled pork? double nom

was the oil cheaper this year for you?

lol

regular routines are way over-rated

I'm bored outta my mind. went to the dr's on Tuesday, I'm quarantined until eyes clear.not ebola, bacterial pink eye. It's official, I am a dirty girl lol toss in a dozie of a sinus infection = red-eyed me of a slobbering mess. bonus points got poked with a flu shot.

How bored am I? wrapped all the Christmas presents I had on hand today and cleaned out 2 closets, yippy skippy

 

[Lynne G]

Christmas Keisha!? Not even close to figuring out what to get and wrap for everyone. Decided on Loot Crate for 3 months for DS and Birch Box for DD for a few months. If both don't like, I didn't spend that much. They really don't need anything. Their big purchase may be a couch. After years of dogs and kid using my couch as a trampoline, we need a new one. I hate furniture shopping. So, may make the family go with.

Hope your boredom gets you to do something fun to do. Getting ready for that very cool air to come this week-end? Brrr.
