Something About Nothing ... #12

[pattyw]

Good morning homies

I’m tied up with things and will be gone for a short time
Will be taking a long coffee break

I know all will play nice as usual

Sending hugs to all

Back at you Mac!!

Hey- summer came to Western NY! Sunny and 56 today!! Now I know what it's like to live in the south!

I’m still getting redirect to American survey after few post re Walmart ugh

Thot the banner ads might have been iPad only glitz sometimes it makes reading whole posts difficult

Crazy rich Asians on my radar. Love the main female actress in the funny tv show whose name escapes me on abc Need coffeeeeeeeee

Lemon curd hmmm for some reason curd doesn’t sound appetizing but I’m sure it is. Cottage cheese has curds and it’s good with sugary something or other plopped into it, often marmalade lol.

Yep, banner is annoying! Haven’t seen crazy rich Asians yet either.......

I had lemon curd crepe with strawberries that was so delicious. Both at a crepe place on Coronado Island, and also at Toothsome. Don't know if the Island one still has it on its menu, but Toothsome doesn't any more. Was a hot crepe, with a nice amount of lemon curd spread on it, then folded, with cut up fresh strawberries, with some of the lemon curd on the plate.

Sigh. Nope, just tea and a TastyKake is my breakfast.

Foggy, and just below freezing. Window scraping needed, and oh my seat heater, work faster! Was a quick commute, with a whiff of skunk. Guess it got hit earlier in the overnight, or car or someone scared it near the road.

A very pale pink horizon, that started below freezing, but will see sun, and a high, in the afternoon, temperature in the 50's. Mini heat wave to be this week. Today, and the next two days, 50's and maybe even a 60, before rain starts the lower temps, so by Friday, we'll be in the low 30's again. Hey, if that means no snow, nice week in store.

MonyK, hope your kid is feeling much better. Being sick enough to not go the game, poor kid. And yay, for wanting more chicks this Spring, Should put a smile on all.

Sue, that's neat you got to see the US commercials. I only watched some of the game. I guess one or two of our neighbors is a NE fan, we heard a loud horn, shout of a wahoo NE, and a bit of fireworks at the end of the game.

Oh yeah, it's a Monday, and back to work.

Yep,

uh huh, View attachment 380343


Make it a great one, and hope all that are not feeling well, sending mummy dust that hopes to make you feel much better.

I so need more tea, and the sweater is within reach.

Take care......see you when you get back........

Back at you Mac!!

Hey- summer came to Western NY! Sunny and 56 today!! Now I know what it's like to live in the south!

Now that sounds decent!!! We had 48F today and it felt so nice to be out in the sunshine with a cool but not cold breeze........hope it continues for you like that.......



Yep.....nice day to be out and about..........chased up car and looks like it’ll be here for May 1st! Suits us down to the ground........got a few other things done too......nice to get jobs out of the way.

Roasted chicken thighs with various flavourings tonight for dinner, and roasted peppers and potatoes.......could eat it now a little while to wait yet........DS should be home in next 15 minutes or so......then we can eat.......

Hope your Monday is a good one.........

Yes Janet we do have some chains and I guess some are good......Nando’s is one I hate with a passion.....many love it....lol.....we do tend to avoid chains as much as possible over here as lots of them tend to serve pre prepared frozen offerings........much prefer a more local restaurant or pubs that do excellent freshly cooked food......we’re lucky we have plenty of choice around us. And we don’t mind driving for good food.

If any American chains came over here it wouldn’t be the same.......



Weather is deceiving here today......looked alright but it’s freezing......didn’t think it was but looked out and our little bird bath on the patio has frozen over........Kyle went out to wash the cars and came straight back in......he doesn’t mind the cold usually but said nope.......not today.

Time for hot chocolate I think..........

I’m guessing the fish & chips are stellar. Hard to find decent prep here the Lenten charity fish fries are excellent

Yep- noticed the SW has cut back on some flights- very sad that the one nonstop to Ft. Lauderdale disappeared after April. Loved having that to visit Kyle & Erin!
We actually decided against the 5:45 am flight on 2/14- losing a night's sleep ruins our first couple of days of vacation. We're flying into Tampa later in the evening. We don't mind the drive and it's still a nonstop flight.



Me too!!



Sorry about that Charade! Glad she's doing ok with it.

Happy Sunday morning!! Warm day here!! 43 right now- and the snow is melting!!Sun is out, too!!

Housework today- no Super Bowl for us- not interested in the teams playing. I think we'll catch the Puppy Bowl and Kitten Bowl instead on Animal Planet

Have a great day all!!

TPA so easy to clear and rentals always seem less

I’m not at my best right now and unable to help on the banner and annoying ads

In the meantime go to tech support and the webmaster/ administrator will be able to help you

But then what would we have to whine about?

you do you, we’ll hold down ‘da fort and try our best to not get caught misbehaving

So can we misbehave but just not get caught..........


Yes Janet, fish and chips over here are usually fabulous.....especially in seaside areas like where we live.......freshest seafood ever.......our area is known for gorgeous crabs.....but some of the best fish and chips too......

But hard to beat Scottish fish and chips when we go home to visit family.......yum!!!

Now I’m thinking of fish and chips..........and I’ve eaten!!

 

[keishashadow]

It wasn’t me, it was...that guy lol

 

[pattyw]

Funny how a little warmth and sunshine makes everyone so happy! Seems everyone (including me) was smiling all day!!!

Yumm!! Fish and chips!!!and fresh crab!! Seafood is the best!!

Enjoyed some pulled pork for dinner tonight- think it's time to break out some wine!

Sending happy and healing wishes your way, Mac!!

Have a great night all!

 

[Lynne G]

Have a restful night, homies.

Patty, smiles here too. Hit 60 this afternoon and will most likely see that number tomorrow afternoon too.

And we have Tuesday again...…..

Tuesday`s are kind of dull......but, we have sunshine and frost and it is beautiful, yes Patty the sunshine does make us smile doesn't it ......darn cold though....

Busy afternoon today, so spent the morning so far doing a little bit of housework.....don't want to do too much though......it may become a habit

Early lunch then out for the afternoon......I will get this trip report finished this week hopefully...….then get next one started as we only have 7 weeks between March and May trips.....

Did get a car booked to take us too and from the airport for both trips yesterday......it`s a heck of a drive coming home after a night flight where we never really sleep, so thought this would be a good idea. Local firm have started to do airport runs, even distant airports so thought we`d do that for a change.....yes, it`s more expensive but not to have Tom drive 4 hours on the way home will be worth it. Like to use local companies where we can and this company certainly are...…

Have a great Tuesday......

[Lynne G]

Why a hearty hello from the warmest start I've seen in some time. Yep, no warning of icy roads today. 39 said the car, on this very dark commute. Another 60's with some late afternoon, evening rain, but hey, 60.
It is nice to use local companies when you can. And I agree, a 4 hour drive after landing, is not fun, particularly with the time change, and nice to relax on the drive to the airport, Schumi.
And yes, a Tuesday is here. Taco Tuesday. Hoping Mac is feeling well enough to make a Taco Bell run, or else Mr. Mac needs to get Mac some Taco Bell.
With that, tea is still needed.
Have a lovely day, and smile when the sun comes out.

Mother Nature is happy to make the work week nice, and warmer, but the week-end, well, the highs are to be 36 and 38. The cold returns. Sigh.

Little one wants to go to the zoo this week-end, Maybe. We'll be bundled up, and spending more time in the buildings. Luckily, both zoos have heated buildings to duck in to, when not so nice out.

 

[pattyw]

don't want to do too much though......it may become a habit

Yes- that's a horrible habit!! I'd like a whole house roomba!!

yes, it`s more expensive but not to have Tom drive 4 hours on the way home will be worth it.

Eek- that is a long drive especially upon returning from a trip! Car service sounds great!!

Same here Lynne!! The weather roller coaster continues!! Definitely not my favorite ride! But I guess in our case, rain beats snow!

On to my second cup of coffee! Have a great day all!! Tacos -mmmm!!!

Today’s banner is proclaiming “bladder slings for older women”. Um, ok then. Not sure if i should be Offended or not lol

1-1/2 hours in dental chair, mostly getting numbed up. Bridge in place but informed that one tooth was ‘pulpy’. I pretended to know what that meant. Verdict topped off with two cracked teeth that may lead to root canal land if they don’t settle down. IDK, its sitting nicely in my mouth. Not about to do a thing unless things head south. Have cleaning on Thursday. Figure if things don’t settle down completely by then, will re-evaluate. I am quite sick of the toothy drama.

Today, get to deal with sr dr at podiatry practice. His wife was insistent i need 2 surgeries (one on each foot) to fix my tarsal tunnel. Not feeling that either, will limp along as long as i can arrrgh. Where’s me parrot?

Already have out-patient surgery scheduled for Valentine’s Day. Told my DH, I fully expect for him to buy me an anniversary dinner even if it’s takeout. I have standards

Ineedavacation

Forgot to mention this JIK anyone has a value resort booked @ WDW...

DS’s family is going over Easter week this year. Were at AS Sports, booked for months. DiL called in to add the DP to reservation and reservationist offered them CSR for only $50 more total for their 7 days. Price to upgrade online was well over $400.

Toss in them dumping rooms on priceline and I’m guessing bookings are way off with many postponing visits until Star Wars comes to town. Would like to think that may translate into smaller crowds this spring & summer @ Universal too. Maybe even lower onsite U hotel rates lol a girl can dream. They are still sky high for my dates in July.

 

[Lynne G]

OOH, you definitely need a vacation, Keisha. Hope your dental visit fixes all, and you are feeling better soon, including your footsies. HeHe, bladder issues. I always seem to get a chuckle from most the ads I see. Hey, I won't be cooking on Valentine's Day either. I have standards, too! LOL

 

[pattyw]

Keisha- Yikes on the dental and foot issues! Hope you can get by w/o the root canal Is Valentine's Day also your anniversary?

Hey- takeout works for me, too!!
No cooking all the way around on Valentine's Day!

Speaking of teeth, I have a raspberry seed in one of mine I can't get out and it's bugging me! You know, things like that don't happen when I eat a donut!

Hope Tuesday is going well for everyone!

 

[schumigirl]

Lynne, yep we’ve to have the cold return later this week too........enjoy your tacos.....

Patty....raspberry seeds are a nightmare! But donuts.......mmmmmmm.......

Keisha......yep, I’m getting the bladder sling and other weird ads........good luck today with the foot people......and pulpy teeth!! That’s a new one......yep it gets tiring all this dental stuff......



Good day today.......and it’s chucking it down with rain. Started around 2.30 and hasn’t stopped......got back home around 4.30 and decided to make macaroni cheese and chicken casserole......not really a casserole but lush.....I usually use a mixture of four cheeses, but only had two.......no one noticed the difference.......very filling though.....

Nice Chardonnay for tonight I think........I give up on dieting forever

 

[bobbie68]

Hi everyone I have had 3 emergencies in the last week. I am very stressed and exhausted. It looks like two of them will be okay with treatments but we lost one of them unexpectedly yesterday. He was doing better for a couple of days than took a turn. He was only 8 and died from heart failure. It is hard when these things happen so fast and you can't do anything to stop it. Liv has a hard time with death in general so it is that much harder to go through. Today is a bit of a better day, just still blah! The one thing that felt good is that are temps have warmed up. I really enjoy stepping outside with the sun shining and the warmth.

Left over vodka scallop sauce for dinner tonight. One teen working the other home!

I tried to read through and catch up as much as I could and I am sorry if I miss anybody.

Lynne I wanted to wish you a belated Happy Anniversary . I hope you had a nice day. I hope you and DD have a great time at the zoo if you go this weekend.

Keishashadow sorry to hear about your crown and bridge, There are a couple of doctors I hate going to and one is the dentist. I hope that your foot gets better on it's own so you don't need surgery. I totally understand wanting to avoid that. I hope you find good air fare for your trip. I haven't priced out this year because we are driving.

Mac Sending you positive and good thoughts . If you need anything just ask!!

Schumi The car service sounds like a great idea. I hope you are happy with the new service. I couldn't think of driving 4 hours after a long night flight. Sorry your weather has been cold on and off, I hope you get some relief. Your delicious dinner choices always make me hungry

Patty I hear you on the weather roller coaster it is awful! I hope you get the seed out of your tooth. Having something in there can just keep you focused on it. It is so annoying. Hope the are being good lap warmers in the cold!

Charade Sorry B didn't get a part in the musical. It sounds like she is taking it well. I am glad your weather is improving. Oh a Marvel marathon sounds great! We didn't do a super bowl party or go to one either wasn't in the mood this year. The only reason I knew who won was my Dunkin Donuts app told me I had a $1.00 medium coffee because the Patriots won. Hope your feeling better.

buckeev The plans sound awesome for your wife. I hope everything goes great and you have a wonderful time. You can never have too many trips.

Sue Chili and cornbread sounds good. I usually just have tortilias but will try that some time. I am glad you are happy with your rate for RPR. I have not been in May but it sounds like a nice time of year. I have cats that watch the snow come down and get all excited. Well one got out one time and put his paw in the snow and ran right back in I hope your weather warms up.

Robo Thanks for the memes they make me smile. I hope you are feeling good and getting ready for your next trip

to anybody I missed and hope everyone is safe, warm and well. have a great day!!
