Something About Nothing ... #12

[buckeev]

WATER week...errr...I mean whatta week. Well, I actually did mean "WATER"....about a foot of it fell from the skies just in the last two days. Sick-n-Tired of it! Speakin' of sick...
Guess who lost eight lbs. Monday through Wednesday???...THIS GUY! Guess who had food poisoning???!!! THIS GUY!!! OK...TMI...I'm much mo gooder today!
BUT...TOMORROW....I'll be even better...
My Super Special boy graduates from HS!!! Up until fourteen years ago, I had never heard the term Autism. We know it pretty well now! Suffice to say, it's an incredible miracle that this boy is gonna be getting his High School Diploma tomorrow afternoon!!! He has also been accepted to our outstanding Community College here, but there's still some more significant challenges to iron out with regards to that....Baby steps though...
Hope youse and y'all all have a safe and great weekend!

Well, it won't let me open it... But it was full sunshine 10 minutes later. If you don't like the weather wait 10 minutes! We're really not kidding when we say that. Looks like some tropical stuff is going to start developing and go somewhere over Florida/Ga. Interested to see where it goes. We need the rain, but the business end reallt doesn't do well when storms come through. People get pretty anxious and annoyed at rain during their vacation. It's THEIR week at the beach doesn't Mother Nature know that?!

So yeah.. Got to go check on my colony. Possibly watch It's a bugs life.

mac needs a rest from the inmates or should that be dismates lol

congrats!!! you must be so proud. not of the wieight loss, a few beers will fix u right up there, but your son! Best wishes for continued growth and happiness. So nice to read such an inspirational post.

hmmm our tinydancer is a top-notch ant slayer? Gives new meaning to steel magnolia

scary gas grill story. no issues here other than checking to make sure the spiders haven't woven net near the regulator. I always worry lugging the replacement tank home that i'll get rear-ended and go 'poof' we (meaning my better half,)trudge out to grill station as long as we don't have more than a foot of snow. we keep it lean & mean then, no soaked chips, just sear and run.

good day all. still waiting for the front to ccome thru here to alleviate the humidity. every time it has rained this week has just made it seamier yuck.

Boy I tell you I can't believe that you pay people to do a roofing job and when they ask do you have any flowers or anything that their workers have to be careful of and I tell the lady yes and where they are at and she said she will note it on the work order and they destroy almost every flower is ridiculous and not to mention these idiots had to see what they were doing.
Enough venting and hope all you homies are doing well.

My husband warned our roofers years ago, that should even a single petal get bent, the red headed demon would be unleashed... he was referring to me LOL

 

[SharkyGoddess]

I need that trick! Come visit anytime I think we're in a drought. And we have a pool


Yeah... I'll let you ask my mom, ER boss, errr co-owner for that week off for me. Let me know how that goes. I think I'd rather wear a meat suit around a trex

Don't tempt me... you may find me lounging around your pool with a margarita in hand.

Sorry you had a rough week buck and congrats to your son.

Hope we get some of that rain soon, it's dry as a bone here.

Here's the latest kitty pic, meet Mac

Hi Carole

 

[Monykalyn]

@tink1957 ahhh thats sweet!
@buckeev hope you feel better and congrats on the HS graduate!!!

And EEEEK on the ants! TinyD--sheesh-maybe they are heading inside getting ready for the big storm?? You need some chickens to eat the bugs

Lazing around this am-gonna head up to the community/resort pool (the one that has *ahem-adult beverages delivered pool side) later this afternoon. Trying to convince the boy to do go carting with me later but he is not buying it. Think he is worn out from week away from home and nearly daily swimming. At least I haven't heard the B word (bored) yet this summer break.

tomorrow high 83, sunny and Lake should be calm (after crazies in speedboats go home-they tend to head for home after breakfast) so should be a good day to take DH's toy for a run...

Gonna take a walk to bald eagles nest too to see if the big baby in visible. Have a protected nest a few hundred yards from MIL house. They found the nest years ago when the area was being developed-thank heavens they were under the endangered category-so no development around them. Nest has produced 1-2 babies every year.

Have a great Saturday-2 cups of coffee down now so probably time to get going for the day

I make good margaritas. We have a limit on them... max of 2. Max of 1 if you're attempted to drive and you have to sit around a while. It's quite literally just a few shots of tequila, Cointreau, and some lime juice. I can't quite handle that so I fluffed it up a bit. I had just a splash of sour mix, sprite, and extra lime juice. yummmm

I do love chicken... I mean chickens. I get to eat them after right?
I would have done well on a farm. When I see a cow I say "oh how cute. He looks delicious!"

 

[tinydancer09]

After further evuation it appears I have pushed the battle lines back and infiltrated their base mounds. The ants outside look particularly seizurey. It's possible they are just regrouping for their next attack. Supposed to rain this afternoon so we will know soon enough.

 

[tink1957]

TinyD, I've heard that vinegar destroys the scent trail so you might try that on your ants, it seems to work well for me.

Here was our view from the grandstands today. You see downtown Detroit in the distance. A couple of great races!

Ugh, after a long soccer road trip, put 200 miles on the car before calling it quits about 1/2 hour ago. I am beat. Kid realized why there were so many signs about NY where we were after I told her. Ummm, because we were not in NY, but very close to it. It was so hot during the games. I am wearing a hat. Even with tan lotion, I am red.

On way home, sprinkles at at this time of night, still in the 80's. So humid. I need a shower soon.



Have an awesome night all!

Kid and friends ready for the Freshman Formal. And no DD did not have the highest heals.

How cute!!!

Well, 2 shots of tequila(silver. I use camarena), 1 shot Cointreau, and 1.5 limes. That's how mom drinks them! She's more hardcore than me. Sometimes I do just a splash of Sprite. adds a little fix which is oddly nice when drinking with a meal.

I actually prefer camarena to paron. Mom uses paron. Don't skim on the Cointreau! It's soooo worth it! Have tried other types and that one is the best IMO.


It appears I have infiltrated the home bases of the ants. However, it didn't rain today and it's still possibly they're regrouping underground.

 

[tinydancer09]

I hope Mac is okay. Anyone seen her posting on the other threads?
I'm the worrier that stays up until I get a "made it home" text from people.
