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

[Lynne G]

Hi Kiesha - yep, scary mountain conditions in this part of PA. Crashes every fall and spring coming out of the mountains. I live just far enough out of the city to get the freezing temps. City is almost always about 10 degrees warmer. And yes, I wear my best waterproof jacket with my DH's sweatshirt under it, and my DD's too small BOG boots. I was ready, but doesn't mean I like that kind of weather to watch a sporting event. Thankfully, outdoor soccer ends in November. I've been known to carry Army wool blankets to wrap around me or to put on those horrible steel bleachers we sit on.

Ah Gina, I love the smell of coffee more than drinking it. I'm more a tea girl. Glad to hear the rain moved out for you.

Hi Sharky, glad your island visit was good. Wishing good health for Robbie. Infections are not fun.

It's Wednesday, and the rain has arrived. Poor camel is not about to go out in this weather. Oh well.

Time for a hot cup of tea.

Thank you Lynne! Hopefully the rain gives way to some gorgeous sun shine for you soon

 

[schumigirl]

No worries! Hope you were able to see all of the pics on your ipad! Thanks!

[/SIZE][/COLOR]

Yep.....managed to see them ok......it just wouldn't load on my iPad then froze.......saw them on the old laptop........

When we got back he and I both (well it started with me) had some sort of weird virus. My Doc gave us both some steroids since she couldn't really figure it out, other than it had a lot of the same characteristics of chicken pox. By the end of last week Rob's leg was showing all signs of getting infected... again. There seriously has to be SOME sort of deterrent for his cellulitis!

Oh my........hope his leg gets better soon, doesn't sound like fun

see what happens when you hang around a houseful of boys long enough?[/I]

Lol...........

Ah Gina, I love the smell of coffee more than drinking it. I'm more a tea girl. .

Me too.......tea all the way for me here.......but when I'm in the States I'm a coffee drinker.......although nothing beats that first cup of tea when I'm back in the UK........



Well........watched the first episode of AHS........... not sure it's for me to be honest........it's good........just too good I think.........full of very freaky people and I watched a lot of it With my hand covering the tv. There's a whole sackload of nightmares for me in that show

Todd.........did ya watch it......what did you think

Been thinking its Thursday all day today.......

Hi

I'm back and playing ketchup on all the latest homie happenings.

My electronic devices and the dis aren't getting along lately. Is anyone else having trouble with the pages loading?

I've been spending all my spare time since we got back from our trip looking for a car and I finally found a 2005 Camry yesterday to replace my beloved old Corolla...RIP Buzz.

Carole...I agree about AHS...to paraphrase Indiana Jones "Clowns, why did it have to be clowns? "

Raven...I'm so sorry we didn't get a chance to meet up this time... stupid disney making us plan every second of our stay. It didn't help that I was exhausted from pushing Danielle's wheelchair that last night and just fell into bed after our dinner...I really meant to meet with you and Robbie at MK that night

Well, there's always next year.

Happy hump day to all

hello homies...

too tired to go back and address everyone individually so here is a
to all of youse.


last week at this time i was at the studios riding the rides...
and then to the holding area for stay and scream.

right now that seems like a milllion years ago...lol
going from ac, shorts and tees to jeans and jacket with the furnace running, just doesn't seem right.

each day since i have been home the time has zoomed by.


the only productive thing i have done is feed and hold the cats, emptied the suitcases, did the laundry and watch TWD on demand numerous times it seems like.
today i did errands hitting 5 different places and trying to play ketchup with the things i have to get done before the weekend.


6 days home and i still haven't gotten back into the normal everyday life yet.
i think that means i should start planning another trip.




but now that i am home, i can use the keyboard for the imac and post in purple again.

what happened to the Bluer weekly camel?
i count on that to know what day of the week it is.

you have the drill down pat!

caffeine in any form works for me but the quality of tea even in nice restaurants is typically lacking. I get excited when I see the server bring out the big wooden box from which to choose my tea bag.

treated myself to a new animated headless horseman today for our front yard display. sweet talked the mgr into a floor sample discount that took it to 75% off...some chicks like bling, I'm into ghouls.

 

[macraven]

Love when my friends like ghouls best

My iMac is screwy again and can't get purple on the ipad

Print too small to read....

 

[schumigirl]

I love Halloween..........it's not such a huge deal over here unfortunately.......although a house near us makes it a huge deal......she has her house and garden like Claire's from modern family halloween episode.......but other folks just have a little bit of stuff..........any pictures Janet when it's done


Vicki.....I wasn't really bothered by clowns......I mean I don't like them, but wasn't scared of them.........but that was a scary butt clown if I ever I saw one Tom says I've not to watch any more episodes of this series as I had a nightmare last night.........woke up screaming about little people chasing me with knives..........oh dear we had also been talking about the resemblances to the 1932 film Freaks........now that is a horrible movie......I'll blame that too.........


Mac.........it'll all get done....eventually.........cats are much nicer to hold than do any housework........


Our plumber is coming this afternoon to service the boiler, so been out grocery shopping this morning. So cupboards and fridge are full.........nice to see.....

Bought some coleslaw, couldn't be bothered making it tonight to go with pulled pork.......yum.......one of our favorite meals.......I'm having sweet potato wedges and DH is having normal wedges......he doesn't like sweet potatoes

Anyhoots, hope everyone's good.........

 

[Lynne G]

I'd like to come for dinner Schumi! No sweets for me either. I like plain potato.

Another rainy day. At least the weather people keep saying it will be a good, sunny week-end. I hope so. This rain needs to go now. Roads are really slippery, as the leaves and rain make it slick.

Aww, mac, no purple. A cat hug is always good. Routine is back for me. Seems our trip was long ago too. Hasn't stopped me in thinking about next year's trip though. Take care.

Tink - nice to see ya! Congrats on the new car.

 

[macraven]

took son to the eye doc and he got his new script.
then hit WM for some odds and ends.

i'm finally getting back into life at home.

soon off to the grocery store once i figure out what to fix for dinner.


hope all the homies are doing fine.

 

[keishashadow]

cat hugs are good unless they decide to give u extra luvin with their claws

carole always has a great menu. I'm taking GD to my mom's nursing home to trick or treat tonight. middle DS offered to come along to ''help" which meanss we'll be going out to eat first lol love how my kids think.

supposed to hit 60 degrees here this weekend.

 

[schumigirl]

It has been so mild here last couple of days.......beautiful today, but I`m having a day in. Thermostat is set at usual temp but hasn`t come on at all last 2 days.....unusual for this time of year. Not complaining though.....it`ll be cold soon enough.

Done another trip report day......but what the heck is it with photobucket!!! It wouldn`t let me resize pictures today.......but could do it few days ago......drives me nuts that site, but I`ll try again tomorrow with another day........

Hope everyone`s ready for the weekend.......our clocks go back early hours Sunday morning.....extra hour in bed......but it get`s darker so much earlier.........

 

[keishashadow]

It's Fry-day! I'm making chicken wings for the gang today. Will be spending most of the weekend working on my grave yard.
What's everybody else doing?

carole - photobucket does tend to get into a snit. Do you have an expanded storage account wherein you pay an annual fee? They charged my CC 5 times earlier this week

 

[schumigirl]

We need to see pictures of the graveyard keisha........... I'm looking forward to those............and liking the sound of chicken wings too

No I wouldn't give PB the money for extra storage.....yep, I heard too many stories of mistakes with cards and such

The normal storage they have is plenty for me except for last year when I had about 20 photos uploaded and they said it was full I did try some other site but they were worse........

But the pictures are huge.....lol......I need to work on them some more


Quite a productive day so far.......3 loads of laundry washed, dried, ironed and put away......and 2 hours of trip reporting........not bad for a day's work

 

[macraven]

hooray for Fry Day..........


i think keisha is inviting us all over to her place for wings tonight.


wonder if she will have ranch dressing for it.




can't keep up with schumi, only did one load of laundry this morning.
she wins the award as she irons the clothes.
i haven't picked up an iron in years.

I use this when doing photos from my computer. It allows you to do many photos at once. You can add boarders and watermarks. You can make presets too which makes it nice.

It used to be call VSO image resizer.

Thanks for the link......but it wouldn't work with photobucket......maybe it was me. I need help with things like this.......you would never know in a past life I was very computer literate and ran a department in the industry I was in and was fantastic with a puter.....the company did have it's own operating system though and was pretty self explanatory......


Had a lovely unproductive morning today........well,not totally unproductive........emailed a few friends and watched an episode of Murder she Wrote.

This afternoon will be puter time and DH is home around 6.30 tonight so will make dinner and have nice bottle of wine and hopefully something decent on TV tonight.......not much chance of that!!

But we do get an extra hour in bed tonight as the clocks go back.

Hope everyone's having a nice weekend

 

[macraven]

schumi, Bluer is my go to guy for my ipad and iphone.
but, when i was with them on the the trip, i forgot to ask him to teach me new things on them.

now i have to wait until next trip for Bluer 101 lessons.........


hoping all the homies have a great weekend!

everyday is a weekend day for me now.
which is why i need camel day so i know when AHS is on.

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.
