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

[Bluer101]

Cold here again today. Made a lovely cottage pie for dinner tonight, it was lush. Good old fashioned comfort food for winter. DH has been looking at new tv`s went today and they are all 60" huge things.......I don`t want one that size in my living room..........so I think some negotiations will be ongoing and a compromise will be made. Somehow. I did get new boots though.........they were calling to me........ Can`t believe we are halfway through November.........

Tom needs his own man cave!!!

This is our living room.

60 inch for everyday viewing.

Then 100 inch drop down for movie nights.

Bluer - I am not going to show your pictures to my kids. They want a bigger than 32 inch in our family room, so I said maybe 40 or 50. Don't give them ideas!

Cold start to the day. 20 degrees with 15 to 20 mph winds. Sunny though. Luckily, all the rain from yesterday was not on the roads this morning. Easier driving.

Stay warm those in this arctic cool weather.

Hope Mrs. Bluer and all others not feeling well are better. Mummy dust to each of you.

Schumi, mmm pie. You are more industrious at dinners than I am. Last night was chicken with mashed potato and gravy, with corn and green beans. I go for easy food during the work week.

Mrs blue is doing better. Her foot is sore at the injection site.

I have been battling the flu, that's what the doctor thinks. I should have gone in on Sat but I'm stubborn. They would of given me tamiflu but now it's too late. So I get the old rest, fluids, and cough syrup. Working half a day today like yesterday.

We are suppose to get another cool front today as showers are moving in. Maybe tonight's low around 60, lol.

My DS should speak to yours. He wants a bigger tv in his room as he says his is too small, he has a 42 inch. I told him he's spoiled and should appreciate what he has (he really does but he wants, wants, wants) like me.

Lynne........that sounds lovely.....love chicken and mash for dinner.....so warming.........hope your weather isn't so bad. Awful when you have to drive in bad conditions

Bluer..........we couldn't buy a 60" even if we wanted one........one of our friends husbands bought one during the summer and we all tease him about "compensating" for something even his wife joins in

Think it'll be a 47".......that's big enough for us. Your entertainment unit does look good though and hope you feel better, flu sucks


Ended up sleeping all day today......felt ok when I got up early, started to feel dizzy and headachy just after 9........went to sleep and got up back and forward......feel better now though........weird how something you can hit you like a wall then go.

So haven't moved all day and looking forward to going to bed as I'm tired

Anyway, hope everyone is doing ok

 

[schumigirl]

schumi, if i got boots, that would mean i would be spending time outside.
if i went outside and it snowed, that would mean a snow shovel would be in my hands.

therefore, i do not own any boots........


but yah for you on the new boots!!

Oh these are definetely not for shovelling snow........not a very high heel as my own heel issues stop me from wearing killers heels now.......but I love them

Gotta let him go at least 70"!

never in a million years............he would if I let him probably though

I guess I just don't understand the need for a massive screen, plus I don't like them on the wall so I don't want it overpowering one half of the room.

My brother's tv is around 70" and on the wall......his friend across the road watches football on brothers tv from his own room and my brother leaves his blinds open so he can see..........

lol but once you have it mounted it doesn't seem like such a monstrosity! Wish I would have purchased the 80" now. We have 55" and I have the 70" in my cave. Makes the the other tv's seek small. The 70" is great for sports. I bet formula one would be phenomenal on Tom's 70" TV.....

[Bluer101]

You're good!!! Are you in sales..........if not you should be........lol........ I did pause for thought on F1............. Just for a second........but ..........no. It's a 47 or 50 max..........I think I'm old fashioned, I don't like tv's on walls......so it has to not overpower our room. You would giggle at our 32" in the bedroom.......would look like a tablet compared to yours

I'm cheering for Tom! He needs bigger, lol.

50-60 is a good size for most people. Besides once you go beyond 60 inches it's almost cheaper to do a projector. This is why we did ours this way. Regular viewing is done on the 60 led and when we want movies, sports, or walking dead screen comes down out of the upper valance.

We hope to build our dedicated theater room within the next 2 years.

On a side note we are having rainy cold weather down here and it's not helping me get over the flu. To everyone that lives in cold climates I don't know how you do it. It's been many years since we lived up north. It's just raw and cold.

 

[macraven]

Bluer, if you really wanted to know how it feels to be up north, come visit.

with our weather now, you would never return here..........



i think this will have to be the last winter i live up here.
i've had it.

i can't deal with it like i used to.

people always say they stay up here in order to be near their families, friends and special neighbors.

screw that.

they all can come visit me if i do get to move to warmer climates........
snow is not my friend.


off on an errand.
yes, it is spitting snow again so the errand will be quick.

You nailed it! I actually a couple of mattress stores. Lol

You can move down here and be our special neighbors.

I will put up with the heat and hurricane over the snow any day.

 

[Bluer101]

Very nice!

Thanks, all of it was built by me, DW and DS helped a little. It's all solid oak. The tv console is huge, 86L x 22D x26H.

 

[keishashadow]

hey all! hope u all are hanging

busy week here, prepping for holiday and 2 medical appts. I get my 'real' bridge today, just in time to chow down next week lol.

would u believe I waited on hold for nearly 2 hours earlier this week to reach Disney dining? DVC members get royally screwed and can't book ADRs for the 180+10 as all the other onsite guests. File it under MGM - Mouse (already) Got (my) Money. At least I was able to book the two I wanted for May - Be Our Guest & LeCellier. Have been shut out our last three trips.

bluer - sweeeet! bigger is better

Schumi like I told Mac there is always houses for sale here in Florida. We would love you guys as neighbors. hope the crown feels better and stays put this time.

Had to go to foot doctor this morning. Found out I have tears in the tendons on my heel and a heel spur. not happy about that but I will live. It hurts a lot so I have to do my exercises and take my meds so my tendons repair themselves. DH will have to be nice and help me with things until I feel better.

tough to fix something you stand on all day. Key to the shots is to time the sequence as indicated by dr...one is good, two are better

look into the compression sock (fits like a low cut one) and the big goofy looking boot to wear at night that stabilizes foot so it doesn't drop really makes things right if you diligently wear for a few weeks.

good luck

 

[schumigirl]

You nailed it! I actually a couple of mattress stores. Lol

Lol..........Really?? .........you must have a really good business going then



TVon order. Coming tomorrow, 47" ................big enough for me

Pulled pork and diced roasted potatoes and onions tonight..........that's the last of it that I froze from last batch cooked.........lush!!

Beautiful day but cold. Was watching Buffalo on the news this morning.......that's a lot of snow!!!

 

[schumigirl]

Hey Keisha

Hope the bridge work goes well........not fun.

Hope you're doing better with your eye and stuff.....

 

[Lynne G]

Arrrr I am ready to throw the lap top. No I don't want to try again for the up teenth time. Blue circle go away. Now I know why my kids want a Mac. No, not Mrs. Mac or her family.

Cold start, but actually will be above freezing today. Wow, NY really got the lake effect snow. They are to get a couple more inches today. We are to get wet weather soon.

Schumi, glad to hear a TV was bought. I think we may go for about that size too. I don't want a huge one in our family room. Always good sounding food for dinner.

We may have soup tonight. That kinda day.

Keisha - glad to hear your bridge was fixed, and ready for the big feast next week.

Hope the Bluers are feeling better.

 

[Mrs bluer101]

Keisha thanks for the info will look into the sock. Yes standing all day doesn't exactly help but I try to get off of it as much as possible.

Mr bluer is doing better too. A little tlc has helped him out. he needs to be better for our trip in 2 weeks.

 

[schumigirl]

Lynne.......new toys are always good......Kyle got a Mac as an award for getting top marks at University for some physics thing or other........he went back to his tablet......not sure why but he didn't like it. He does like my iPad though.




Well got our new TV tonight. Mix up over delivery so it came earlier.........quite unusual for us........we're usually last!!!

I like it.....just the right size........and I love the new unit we bought for it......so I'm pleased.

Told DH it makes our leather suite look old............

I am bored with AHS...........it's too predictable now. So giving up on it.......running out of shows to watch. Blacklist will be finishing soon for the break.......they need to answer some questions in that too.........

 

[schumigirl]

So much for tv being all we needed for TV room............

Turns out our surround sound isn't compatible with new TV.........I wonder if he knew So it was out shopping today for new surround system...........Which apparently is an essential item to have

And he says I'm a spender

Friday tonight..........had chinese takeout and having some prosecco while watching new TV.......

Hope everyone has a great weekend whatever you're doing
