Something About Nothing ... #12

[macraven]

Damn

I thought today was Saturday

Read the sans and realized it was Friday


Good thing pattyw said happy Friday


I usually read on the iPhone when it pulls up the last post in the thread
Read back to read her post to see it is Friday


Wait until you retire and you’ll understand days of the week all blend together....lol

 

[pattyw]

Keisha- That's wonderful about the big Labor Day celebration in your area! Our city does celebrate, but not as big as yours! Sad that the most celebrating involves sales at stores for clothes, furniture, cars, etc... Everything revolves around retail now!

Mac- A Saturday frame of mind is the best you can have! Go with it!

Glad I had the longer day yesterday to be able to schedule myself off today! Major storms through again yesterday. Rain started pausing a bit in afternoon, but one of my hens (cuddle chicken) was soaked when I went to check on her. Not sure if she just decided the bugs were better in rain or the mean girls wouldn't let her in the nice dry run .
And I came home to the boy passed out sound asleep on couch-he'd gotten home 30 minutes earlier. Touched his head and it was burning. Yay me-sick kid to knock any and all plans out!. Home from school today. And dog is eating enough to have bad gas apparently.

RHPS-first experience in HS with an old downtown theater that showed it on weekends-complete with regulars dressing up and bringing props! Supposed to be 18 to see it...back when things weren't so strict (and I was 17...)

Love the ears charade!

Keep pics coming Lynne! DC looks so nice, maybe can work that into vacation next year.

Need to start watching some movies in prep for HHN. DD isn't sure if she has seen any of the Halloween movies (parenting fail?). We all love Stranger things, have seen a couple Purge movies. The first Halloween movie still scares the heck out of me. Think it is due to the perfectly timed music score?

Looks to be an unproductive day for me There are worse things LOL

Hope the kiddo is better soon!! Nothing worse than a poorly child.........and good luck with a gassy dog!! Hopefully signs he’s doing better...........

You need to slap yourself on the wrist for the parenting fail....... oh they have to watch Halloween.......only the first two and really only the first one if I’m honest scares me to hell and back!!!

The first one I watched as a kid when I shouldn’t have.......10.30pm on a Sunday night on a little portable tv in my room.......I was 12...........scared the bejeesus out of me......and still does if I’m honest........and yes, the music is incredible........Tom wanted me to get it as a ringtone.......lol......not happening..........I only have to hear it and I jump out of my skin!!! Tom loves making me jump by playing it suddenly..........

Hey Everyone! Quick flyby to say hello......Lots going on this week 1) I have been sick with a nasty head cold. Ugggh. It’s too nice outside to be sick right now 2) my MasterCard got hacked and someone in Europe bought some really nice cookeware for me! 3) Marshmellow did NOT cooperate and allow herself to get trapped last night for the spaying today. She is too clever for her own good. So we have another appointment on Tuesday which means another sleepless night for me Monday night. The good news is that we have all 4 kittens in the house now & they are very loving purr-monsters. I have two families coming to see them this afternoon so fingers crossed 1 or 2of them find good homes. Have a great Labor Day weekend if I don’t get back online in the next couple of days. We are forecast to have a “tropical wave” pass over FL on its way into the Gulf so lots of indoor plans to make!

We thought it was rough yesterday when we looked down towards the trees and we saw a huge kestrel tearing apart a little bird for lunch.........although I did shout we had a vulture in the trees!!

They always remind me we don’t have vultures in the U.K.!!

But to see that in your garden schmoozing around like a pet!!! No.

Didn’t you post a picture of a bear in your back yard once.......I think it was you...........

 

[Monykalyn]

I was wondering if anybody has any suggestions?

I was going to suggest actual zinc oxide sunblock but the clear bandaid with oxide over it (if it will stick) would work as a barrier-even if you have to have the color of the zinc oxide visible...

I have major S.A.D.!! I hadn't heard about lamps? Need something to help until we can move to the warm & sunny south!

Yeah I've read a couple studies that the lamps help-but they need to emit a certain type of UV to trigger the area in brain (if I am remembering right-been a few years)

Bandaid they sell clear waterproof ones.

-waterproof-yes!

Tom loves making me jump by playing it suddenly.

I would jump too! Have you seen the movie "Get Out?" It was hyped as suspenseful horror type movie and seemed to be beloved by critics-I had plot figured out within first 10 minutes of movie. All I can think when someone praises that movie as so suspenseful and scary is they haven't sat through the entire first Halloween movie, in the dark...on a couch that maybe isn't against a wall but open area to the back, where someone could creep up...
I lock the bathroom and bedroom door when I shower as hubs has interrupted too many times to ask a question that could wait and I've been startled enough to scream my head off. Loud enough to wake kids when they were younger.

4 kittens in the house now & they are very loving purr-monsters

so sweet! Good luck on trapping mama and finding the babies homes!

kiddo is sound asleep again. Curled up in big chair instead of laying on couch. He's eaten his way through doughnuts, ramen noodle cup and chocolate peppermint tea this am. And what looks like a box of tissues on the floor...

That is so funny!!! Our movie/family room has a sofa with a gap behind it and French style doors like they had in the kitchen where Annie is on the phone at Lindsay’s house in the kitchen when Michael appears behind her.......kinda freaks me out every day a little......lol........

Get Out was rubbish!! And like you we worked it out in no time at all.......not as quick as we worked out the plot of The Village........dreadful movie!!! But, yep, nothing has ever got me the way Halloween did......I follow Nick Castle on Twitter and he is a cool dude! Although only playing Michael again for a few scenes in the new one.......Michael is mainly played by the very cool James Jude Courtney..........but I can’t wait to see it.....behind a cushion of course......and plenty of wine!

I’m trying to convince Tom we should fly back to America for 3 nights when it opens on October 19th........I think that may be a no........ most expensive date night ever!!!

Glad your boy is eating and sleeping.......he’ll be back to normal in no time hopefully.......

For your preview of HHN viewing pleasure.

Checked out buy 8:30 and have been touring the parks since.

CAN'T WAIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi everyone dropping by again before I make turkey cutlets! I hope every one had a good day.

Keisha thanks for the waterproof band aid idea. I didn't even think about the water in the water park or the germs. He did tell me to make sure I use vaseline every day to help prevent scaring. It is a smaller right now. He didn't want to take a lot if there was no need to. I may have a bigger divot soon though. I have some things to keep in mind now for if I do. He didn't say anything about no pool stuff but your right I did hear about that. Thanks again.

Monykalyn Thank you for responding. The zinc oxide would be a great idea but he says I have to use vaseline and a band aid for a couple of days. It is on the side of the bridge of my nose and it is effecting the way my no line bi focals are working.

Patty- Cat excuses are the best... Yes if you go to amazon ( I use amazon smile to get donations for my local animal charity) and put in therapy or SAD lamps they have them. I totally agree with you!

I would love to see the park decorated for Halloween even though I don't like the scare parts!

 

[Lynne G]

Bobbie, the real scary stuff is always covered or blocked off, so you only see the nice Halloween decor.

Just chilling after a sticky hot day in the parks. Fun Immigration Tour at MIB,



Then rode and little one got the suit cutting guy.

Dreaded ride to home later tonight. Have to get gas, and some snacks, then goodbye for this trip. Was a fun filled, rainy, and hot tour of Islands, Studios, VB, SW, Aquatica and MK.

Thanks all for following along.

 

[RAPstar]

Got off work at 2:30 today. Got home right around 3. Just finished packing my checked bag. Will pack carry-on in the morning. Now just relaxing and listening to ABBA, cause that's just how gay I feel right now.

Oh and DC too. Had photo package at USO, almost 70 pictures, and we could have had more, but with a teen, ya know, mom, really. No dear, not every picture taker. Some from VB are not very good, like black shots and missed us entirely, but some were really good, and all human picture takers were nice and fun to work with. Little one is still talking about her MIB shots, and the shots the Blue picture taker took with my phone were almost better than her shots.

Easy 35 minute to MCO, very fast rental return, no line for pre check, now waiting over an hour and a half for boarding to start.

Food court hang out, as gate right near. Little one is hungry. Of course she is.

 

[macraven]

Safe travels home Lynne.

Safe travels Lynne!

Well if it has to end at least it was stressfree? hoping boarding went smooth as well. And kids always have bottomless stomachs on Mom's dime...

@RAPstar Hope you have a grand time on your cruise!! My first cruise is in October!

Had to go into new (as in just opened) home for an hour this afternoon. No big deal, wonderful place. But they just opened and are admitting like crazy so wanted to get stuff taken care of before weekend. Then on to pick up middle from school (she wanted to stay after to take care of some stuff), then to pickup her flute from repair shop ($245 worth of "overhaul') She has said for last year that keys were sticky-when we brought it in last year they basically charged us $50 for cleaning and said it was fine. She played it a bit in one of their practice rooms and was pleased this time.Then to drop her friend off and stop by store quick for more ramen cups and popsicles. Then back to school for football game-was originally planning on going but not with sick kiddo and DH is out trying to get lawn mowed before dark. Have neglected the chickens (well as much as those spoiled hens can be neglected-by neglected I mean they haven't had their mealworm crack in a few days)-so tomorrow their coop gets cleaned.

An hour til got pick the kid up. Must say-as nervous as I am about her driving it will be nice to not have to run so much with band and sports!

 

[pattyw]

Tgrgrl- Those kittens are precious!

Yes if you go to amazon ( I use amazon smile to get donations for my local animal charity) and put in therapy or SAD lamps they have them. I totally agree with you!

I'll have to look at Amazon. I think I get a delivery every other day! Yep- my Amazon Smile goes to our local SPCA!

Must say-as nervous as I am about her driving it will be nice to not have to run so much with band and sports!

That is great when you aren't chauffeuring them anymore- takes your mind off the car insurance bill - but mine are for boys!

Safe travels Lynne & Rapstar!

Quiet evening here! Wheel of Fortune, Jeopardy and now catching up on DVR programs! Joe and I are going to drive to the lake tomorrow! Supposed to be a beautiful day!

 

[Charade67]

Good evening. I have had kind of a blah sort of day. I don’t feel sick. I just feel really tired. I woke up just before 3:00, but managed to get back to sleep quickly which is unusual for me. I woke again at 7:00. I didn’t actually get out of bed until 8:15. I took B to school and then came home and took a nap. I did eventually go out and do a little shopping. I couldn’t find the prop I was looking for. I wanted on old fashioned beer mug. One of B’s dances was to Gaston from Beauty and the Beast. I bought a glass mug from the dollar store and painted it purple. I think it wil look okay. I took another nap after I brought B home from school.

Tink - Hope everything gets sorted with the new refrigerator. The othe day I saw one in Home Depot that I really liked. I had to keep reminding myself that we don’t need a new fridge.

MonyK - Hope your son is better soon. There seems to be a lot of sickness around here recently.

Keisha - Yikes! Thankfully when I lived in FL the only lizards I saw were the tiny ones.

Tgrgrl - Hope you are better soon. Also hope you can find good homes for the kittens.

Lynne - Safe travels.

Hello to everyone else. I am really sleepy, so I am going to try to get some sleep now.

Oh, I decided to go ahead and buy the ears for B. The seller sent me this picture of what they will look like with the red bow..

 

[macraven]

monyk, you have had a very LONG day.
Hope you are relaxing with a glass of wine now....



to all the homies here!


Remember that tomorrow is Saturday and it is a sleep in day ........unless you work weekends like Tink does sometimes.
