Something About Nothing ... #12

But excited to hear the food tents have arrived for HHN!!!!


Waiting for the blind man to visit...…..stop laughing Janet!!!!! :rotfl:

Got local blind company...….the window blind type...…..coming out to measure up five windows we want new blinds on...…..due anytime...….just hope I can get exactly what I want...….or at least close...….
 
Morning Sans :wave:.... We are going to have a hot day here today it should be in the 90's :cool1:... I know crazy but I love the summer and heat!!! I wear support shoes except in the summer I wear flip flops but I think that maybe changing soon. I can feel my feel aging LOL!! The squad had a good time over last night, dinner was good and they left me some left overs for once!!

Liv is at guidance this morning to change her schedule. The counselor saw her yesterday and gave her some options and was very understanding. We talked it over last night and she made her choices to do some switching. She will lose two of her art classes but be in the two classes with friends she didn't have friends with. It was the best move even though she is sad about her art classes. Liv texted me and said she can't get into her last art class next semester possibly. There was room in the class yesterday, but not today. The counselor told her it should open up for her. I hope so she was really looking forward to it. She did pick up a creative writing/ journalism class though. I think she will like that! She seems okay with everything.:)

Schumi they are saying we will have an Indian summer here in the northeast. I hope so, I really can't take winter much more. I hope you get some more warm nights to enjoy being outside. Glad to hear you like fall it can be a pretty time of the year. Yum on the marmalade, how nice to have local farmers near you for that stuff. I love fresh stuff from there. Here's to 17 more sleeps to HHN :jumping1:

mac sorry to hear you were up with the snoring... Hopefully you can take a nap later! I love nap time when I can!

Charade - sorry to hear about the $20.00, that stinks when it happens. I hope you can recover it! I understand about the quote thing. It has happened to us. Congrats on selling another fund raiser,one step closer to the trip:woohoo:

RAPstar-sorry you are having a rough week. Vacation next week :thumbsup2

Lynne The pictures are great! Looks like a great time! I agree with Lynne your daughter looks like you! Great memories!

Monykalyn sorry about the pup, sending well wishes for him:goodvibes

:wave: Hi to Patty, Buckeev, Tink, Robo, Tgrgrl, Keisha, and to anybody else my have forgotten!

I am off to clean than a hair cut!
 
Good morning :coffee:

Why is it that on days I can sleep late I always wake up at 6 am?

Enjoying my first cup of coffee and contemplating what to do today ..I may just relax and enjoy the day:flower1:(that probably won't happen)

:bday:to Lynne's little one and a belated :bday: to keisha's little gd.

No flats or heels for me either except my croc flip flops whenever I don't have to be on my feet all day. I usually wear kswiss tubes since they're the only shoes I have found that don't hurt my feet after a long day. I haven't worn high heels since the 80s when I weighed 110 lbs.

Glad Liv got her schedule sorted bobbie

Wishing I had some of Carole's marmalade our fruit trees didn't do well this year. We did get a few peaches but no apples.

Hope everyone has a great day :goodvibes
 

Yesterday I went to Walmart and used the self service register. I got $20 cash back. This afternoon I opened my wallet to pay for something and no 20 dollar bill. I think what happened is I took my receipt at Walmart and forgot the cash. I called to see if some honest person turned it in, but no such luck

So sorry about that Charade! :( Hope today is a better day!:)

I am off to clean than a hair cut!

Sounds great, Bobbie!!:)

:bday: To Lynne's DD
:bday:to Keisha's GD

:wave2: Schumi, Mac, Robo, Tink, Rapstar, Tigrgrl, Lynne, Keisha, Buckeev and to anyone else that I forgot because my coffee hasn't kicked in yet:wave:

Happy Wednesday all!!

Hola indeed senoras & senors. Seniors too haha

Amazon delivered...a keyboard folio that wouldn’t hold a charge. Tracked down ups drop off and waiting for the next pkg to appear tomorrow. They are cramping my style

Lynne happy birthday to that dead ringer of a DD. She looks like an adult! Wow they grow fast
We are at our favorite Mexican restaurant right now. This isn’t deliberate. Dh chose the restaurant tonight.

Not a Mexican food fan but any dinner out works for me

Well dinners all around sound yummy!
Had to take DH to meet his dad as he was passing through on way to Oklahoma for their annual golf tournament. Did shopping on way home-I am responsible for my club's dinner tomorrow night. Challenge feeding 20-30 on $40 reimbursement. Found great price on pork roast-so doing pulled pork=bonus it cooks in crockpot all day so very easy for me. Coleslaw (big one from Sam's club), chips, and watermelon for dessert (also on sale-at least other farms in MO had a better watermelon season than I did!). Dinner for us tonight was blackened tilapia with mango salsa, wild rice, steamed broccoli.

Busy week ahead. Hoping I get a 4 day weekend-so far it is looking good.

Lynne was that at Volcano Bay? Never been...

Never tried their coleslaw. Any good? The red skinned potatoe salad ok if doctored up with celery etc

Little one was so happy to see Frank.

Um was he stuffed?

Ouch, Patty, yeah stinks to be old.LOL

Keisha, hope your foot doctor visit went well.

Bobbie, sounds like all are busy.

:wave2: Mac.

They handed me scripts galore, including PT 3 x week for 6 weeks. Um I’ll be in MCO 9/29 hahaha. Also have to schedule a NCV Hate them! Bad hair for months afterwards

Cool 3d imaging thing vs standing in the goo for new orthotics

Happy happy joy joy

Reread your post pattyw

Bone spurs also

Yikes!
That is painful

They are a witch

Yeah- the doctor said that I may need surgery at some point if it gets worse!:eek: Hopefully, I can make it until Kyle is out of school. He's going to podiatry schoolnon ! But, I certainly never planned to be his first patient!:laughing:
FAMILY DISCOUNT LOL. I have a few longstanding on bad foot. Had severaldrs say they can be non eventful, cause no symptoms Go figure

I think I need to look into different shoes. My crocs sandals have been comfortable but maybe need more support. Good to hear that your treatments worked!

Told the crocs if used for more than house shoes cause own issues with sliding around in them due to loose fit. Otherwise they mimic orthotics

Thanks for the countdown Robbie.

And it is your tour also.
and pattyw, keisha, goofyfigment, vu tran and their families

Even though our group was full by end of March, still was getting pms to request joining us.
(I sent them to other homies)

Naw we just hold onto ur coat tails lol

Hi everyone ..... I tried to get some stuff done today but no go!! I just had a hard time with motivation... I did have my part time job today with Liv back at school. Liv needs to have that secure outlet to talk with all these social situations so that is what I do. It was a pretty busy work day LOL!!

Thanks mac and Patty for the well wishes for Liv today. It was so nice Mac of you to ask for me to report her day!

She was having a great day up through lunch. She has some friends in her classes and in her lunch wave. She likes her teachers and the classes. Then it went down hill from there. Her next two classes had nobody, who she considers a friend or reliable. Having that social comfort in a class is so huge for her. This is the case for a lot with Asperger's. She was very upset because these are two of her college classes. One of them she needs for the college. She found out some friends that are in a different period. She emailed her guidance counselor and explained the situation. Liv came up with some options to give her to look at. She is fantastic with Liv and helps whenever she can. I was proud of her she put the email together with her feelings. It is important that she has learned to advocate for herself. I was proud of her for that. We now have to wait to see what can be done. Unfortunately I don't think Liv is going to like her options. It will be very hard for her to decide.

Patty sorry about the arthritis and bone spurs. I have had trouble for years with my arches and that is such a difficult spot. I hope you feel better soon and especially for your trip!

Robo thank you for the wishes for the kids. Yes they are happy again and that makes me very happy!

Schumi that is a great pic!! Your DH captured the look very good!

Lynne love the sea world pics! I could look at those guys all day! Hope you had fun!

The VIP tour for HHN sounds great! I hope everyone has a great time! Countdowns are so exciting!

Going to be taking the teens to the restaurant then have to decide dinner for 2:rolleyes:

She’s lucky to have u as her advocate. Hope things settle down for her at school.

So you need heels?

Are you shorter than 5’ ?

I know Lynne and Tinyd were shorter than Keisha

I project taller, in my mind. There is a group pic Carole posted wher I appear to hold my own.

Had a weird weekend. My Doordash account got hacked super early Saturday morning (close to 4am, I guess my time?) by some people in Cali who ordered 5 bottles of cognac at a total of over $400, hence the question about time. Who knew liquor stores delivered out there? I only found out from an email from Doordash that said my email address had been changed (I don't even use them often). Called my credit union and they already put credits in my account to covet the fraud while they investigate. Also notified Doordash to let them know. But on the bright side, I went to get some shoes and clothes at Kohl's and got approved for $600 in credit there. Then today I check my Capital One account to find out that my credit limit there was increased. So, it was a lot of ups and downs since Saturday lol. At least I should be fine for my cruise next week. Can't wait to get me some cheese soup in Epcot this weekend!

Never heard of doordash but yikes that stinks

Congrats on the credit offers

Morning Sans family :wave2:

Sunny day here in my neck of the woods.......always nice to see the sun.


Lynne cool pics from top of Aventura.


The President is coming to town on Thursday. Just seen in the local paper online that the opposing political party said they are going to bus in protesters from other areas of Indiana, Kentucky and Illinois. Hope cool heads prevail and they don’t tear up the town. There are a lot of small businesses in downtown Evansville who have invested there to revitalize the area many years ago:grouphug:


35 days till my first night of HHH......cant tell I’am excited right :dancer::cheer2::cool1:


House keeping today and then maybe some Halloween decorations. I usually wait until September 1st, but don’t think I can.....LOL

My witchy tree last year


Great pics

Lynne......your daughter is the image of you!!! You can really see it in those pictures above! Especially the first one.......

Tink......enjoy a few days off........hope you get to chill out a little...... glad Trey is doing ok in his new abode!! And lovely he visits his mum.........food is always more fun with family and friends.........


Barely 8pm and getting dark already...........winter is drawing in quickly........well, autumn sounds better........been lovely all day, but you can feel that little chill again at night now....no more sitting out with glasses of wine. Although I did like MonyK’s suggestion of a Tiki Bar in the shed.........although no heating in it and it’s a little far from the house!!! Maybe stick to sitting room..........

Trying to catch up on emails too...........:blush:

Pumpkin spice lattes are back for better or I say worse. Fall my least fav season other than Halloween. Often had snow on the decorations

This week will not end soon enough. I'm taking care of the mail all this week at work to make up for the newer girl having to do it all next week while I'm gone, and we had 400 claims Monday and 300 today. On top of that, the buses have been all over the place this week. The one that takes me to work was 7 minutes late yesterday. Then the one that takes me home was close to 20 minutes late today and even later yesterday. It's too hot for this shizz.

Wait till u get back. Desk will prob be covered in work lol

Maybe ask the store to check the till you went to.......if that one is $20 up it might not have given it to you.......sorry that happened to you!

As for heels......well, I haven’t worn proper high heels since Wham were huge in the mid 80’s! I just can’t wear them......but with my heel isssues I’m supposed to wear anything that’s not totally flat......so even slippers have orthotics in them......I just have to deal with it.

I hear you on the cost of things! We recently decorated and had new flooring put down in all the rooms........we expected it to be expensive, but even so.......wow!! Stuff we have chosen for Kyle’s bathroom floor which is getting done in September, when the guy gave us the price for it, I asked if it had diamonds laced through it!!! It’ll be lovely though..........good luck with that!


Up early..........it was so dark, or much darker this morning..........

Will be white toast and marmalade this morning for breakfast.........local farmer makes the best home made marmalade ever!!! Along with other lovely treats!! Then some housework and ironing, and the man is coming out to measure up for new blinds for all the rooms recently decorated.........he’s so busy so we had to wait till today......he’s worth it though. Like the guys and their blinds are good quality.

Time for early cup of tea as DS is just leaving for work...........

Cheers to working in both snapes on a plane & wham references lately lol

Woke up at 5

Some one was snoring

Probably will be a long day for me

Hope all homies doing fine

Just imagine all you’ll get done today

Wasn’t it u who told me they love dukes mayo? Just read article that stated it’s regular Hellmann brand but with that brand name mostly central US westward. Don’t have that brand here

I wake up at 5 every day. Wheeeeeee

I get up at shortly after 3 am to haul middle son to work since medical pull on DL. I really hope it’s restored soon State taking their sweet time processing it

I’m still snorting lol


Good morning :coffee:

Why is it that on days I can sleep late I always wake up at 6 am?

Enjoying my first cup of coffee and contemplating what to do today ..I may just relax and enjoy the day:flower1:(that probably won't happen)

:bday:to Lynne's little one and a belated :bday: to keisha's little gd.

Glad Liv got her schedule sorted bobbie

Wishing I had some of Carole's marmalade our fruit trees didn't do well this year. We did get a few peaches but no apples.

Hope everyone has a great day :goodvibes

I have held onto my fav good heels. Maybe they’ll bury me in a pair lol

Told the crocs if used for more than house shoes cause own issues with sliding around in them due to loose fit. Otherwise they mimic orthotics

I love my crocs sandals, but they are dangerous when wet. I slide around a lot!

I think our DIS meets will include a lot of foot talk! :laughing: We need to compare notes on our issues, treatments, and shoes!! Over a few cocktails, of course!:thumbsup2
 
Man Keisha, you are on a writing streak

And that is a good thing

Hope your keyboard really arrives tomorrow
I know you got one today but next one will charge up and work for you

Typing on a phone is not an easy thing to do
I still can’t quote others when using the iPhone

Shoes for me are now running shoes with the better built up arch
Cheapest I found found are $250

Church in a dress and running shoes
No one down here even notices it

Janet I do hope your feet issues can be fixed without surgery


And for all the homies that have feet issues, I do hope it eases up and surgery can be avoided


Wendy our miss Wednesday day gal here, know I still hold you up in prayers and wish you will be pain free soon with the back surgery being successful!
 
Some :bday::bday::bday: are due to Lynne and Keisha's precious ones!
Yep get stuff done before rain sets in! Glad I will have a rental car on our trip. Even though we've had DD in town last few times we've gone to Un it was making me stir crazy to not have actual car on site with me.

Feet issues-yeah I can relate, although I would be barefoot all the time if I could

he’s worth it though. Like the guys and their blinds are good quality.
Blind man there yet?:rotfl2: I hear you on good blinds. Our Arkansas house was a new build, we had custom blinds put in (almost like plantation shutters but not as thick(? if that makes sense?), they were also "cordless" which was awesome as we had young children and no cords means no way to strangle either. So when we bought our current house I looked for those same blinds-no longer made!!!!! I got some I am ok with, but not all window have blinds either (curtains yes, blinds no).

Never tried their coleslaw. Any good? The red skinned potatoe salad ok if doctored up with celery etc
Coleslaw is good, but I find their potato salad bland as well, unless doctored up!

Talked a bit yesterday with DH about maybe having to put dog to sleep. He's eating even less, even with tempting him with favorite stuff. Breathing heavy. Don't think he is pain, he's getting lots of attention. There is a pet hospice service our pet sitter recommended. Need to look into that. Kids are aware our baby is not going to be around much longer...

Not to be a downer-I have a 4 day weekend upcoming! Need to get to neglected garden and plant some fall stuff.
 
Bobbie, we are incredibly lucky with farmers around here...….we get eggs from one and produce like pies, chutneys and preserves from another......she makes the best lemon curd ever!!!! Glad your daughter is doing ok and happy with the choices...…..

Vicki......oh my we have an abundance of fruit this year!!!! Plums are by far the biggest yield we have ever had...…..and not much bird damage this year......no peck marks on them...….pears are now starting to bloom and look to be huge, and even the apples are massive already...…...will get them all to the farmer as soon as they`re all ready...…..but, wish we could grow peaches!!!!! Not warm enough here...…...I did attempt some strawberry plants earlier, but no luck so far..maybe next year...….

Janet...….lol...…...the blind man has been and gone...….:rotfl:did get them all ordered...……..hope they`re fitted before we go...…..he thinks they should be......glad you like the references...……

Pumpkin spice isn't my favourite flavor either...……..saw this yesterday when someone complained it was everywhere...….

Yes, been and gone!!!

I know what you mean about the shutters...….we had them but replaced them as I felt they were too dark in some rooms......I like cordless...….these one are remote as I`m so lazy now...….lol...….

It`s quite private here, but I still like blinds on all the windows......I don't like looking out to pure darkness in the winter...….we have all trees behind us.....and I see the boogie man if I look hard enough :rotfl:

I`m so sorry about your doggy. :hug:
 
Monyk
Coffee out of my nose reading your post about the kids being strangled on the blinds cords

Well, maybe not the way I am posting about the youngens being strangled but glancing at it is what I first thought

I have a couple of blinds inside the glass
Very easy to open and close
Rest of the blinds in my house have the cord and not the switch

Since I had to be coffee and food free for my morning doc appt, making up for it now
About to start second pot of coffee

I use a Bunn coffee maker

Pete bought me a Keurig coffee maker well over a year ago

I finally gave it to a donation center
Tried it twice and it wasnt for me

I only drink plain black coffee
Not easy to find Kcups I would like so keurig wasn’t good for me

How is your doggie doing now?
Hope improvement has happened
 
Schumi
Blind leading the blind here
Lol

I do feel like that some days!!!! :rotfl:



Just had to trash a batch of bbq sauce I was making..........didn’t have my glasses on and emptied half a jar of extra hot cayenne pepper into the half made sauce.........instead of the jar of pop seasoning powder.........I decided to do a quick batch of cheat sauce and freeze some.........ooops!!! Even I wouldn’t eat that hot a sauce!!

Did think it looked a little more red than usual........:laughing:

Time to start again........with glasses on this time..........:blush:

Home made Beef Burgers tonight..........
 
Forgot to say.........

Hope Wednesday Wendy is doing ok and can drop in soon to say hi.........:wave2:
 
Missed one of your questions Keisha

Dukes mayo is not a Hellmann product
Dukes was created by Eugenia Duke in 1917 in Greenville SC

It’s basically in the South
Never saw it in the North where we lived

I can not tolerate Dukes mayo
I’m a loyal fan of Helmann’s mayo

My son has a small jar of Dukes in the fridge and he rarely uses it anymore
He is back to Hellmann’s mayo

Spouse prefers Kraft mayo so have all 3 products in the fridge
 
Only one mayo........Hellmans........anything else is just not mayo.......

No low fat.....reduced fat......reduced salt......reduced anything........gotta be full fat Hellmans mayo!

Or don’t bother..........
