Something About Nothing ... #12

[tinydancer09]

still hot where i am but no complaints at all....
i could still be up North and dealing with limited summers there.

has been hot the past days.
97 two days ago but we have cooled down to 91 today.
day after tomorrow weather man states back to 97 here.

i grew up without ac and only an attic fan which worked fine.
the house we bought has ac and i just don't notice the heat all that much.
but, i don't go play in the dirt outside until the evening or early mornings.

my only complaint is the lack of rain.
we killed a lot of weeds in the spring in the front yard and have to reseed later this year.
without any rain, the ground is rock hard.

tossed out the notion of having the front sodded.
don't want to spend a fortune on the water bill


now i have to decide which drive thru for dinner tonight......lol

Zaxbys! Do you have a Zaxbys? lol

 

[macraven]

Sure do but it's not on my like list

Many around here love it but I lean more to Bojangles

I lived next to one of those in college and never tried about it. Apparently it's very popular, but I never heard of it until then. It compares more to KFC and Popeye's to me rather than Zaxby's. Zax is in the same chicken category as Chick Fil A to me.

 

[marciemi]

Is Zaxby's any good? Not really a chicken fan (as in KFC type). We tried Pollo Tropical this past weekend and were less than impressed. Is it worth a try?

 

[macraven]

TinyD. We have chik fil A also in town

It's either chicken places or bbq here

Oh we do have a kfc in town also


I've never been a chicken fan but the others in the family love chicken

I usually hit the bbq places
Pork is my poisen

I personally enjoy it... but it's a greasy fried chicken. The main draw is the Zax sauce which is kind of a spicy thousand island type thing. They have crinkle cut fries with fry seasoning on them (kind of like lawry's if you know what that is.) Kind of like chick fil a but.... more flavor?
I'm not a huge fan of KFC. I'd much rather fry it myself or get it from Publix. Or our local place here that does good fried chicken.
They're all super greasy and I can't handle much grease without a gall bladder.

I tried all the chicken joints in my area only because I was out voted and hungry ...lol

The family likes both Bojangles and zaxby a lot

I do love BBQ!!! Much easier on the stomach and can be healthy... healthier if you try hard enough. The BBQ isn't the part that's bad for you- it's what you eat with it or on it that is! So when I'm craving something out, but yet not greasy (in the fried sense) I go BBQ. We have a local place here that I adore. It closed down my Senior year of high school. The son retired from the military and opened it back up my senior year of college. I always tell people they couldn't survive without me in town so they just had to close down for those 4 years

And for the record I love all the (edible... american edible) farm animals. Not a fan of sea animals except Oysters and Crab. Cow, chicken, pig, bison...

I did not know you lost your gall bladder

Long ago?

 

[macraven]

Just turned in the local news

10:00 and it is 86 now

No complaints but the ac is on of course

I tell you anywhere you would go in my area, you'll find bbq places
Brisket, pork and chicken bbq places

And it's good

Yep! At the ripe ole age of 22 I had my gall bladder removed. Hyda scan showed it only had 1% function. When we realized that we determined that it probably "went bad" when I was in middle school. That's around the time that I stopped being able to eat fatty dairy. I can still eat cheese oddly enough.... But milk (my family drank whole milk), ice cream, creams, anything liquid dairy or extremely high fat (extra extra cheese pizza.. YUM) was not so great for me. I'd get sick. I stopped eating breakfast because "it made me sick to eat that early." In all reality we had always eaten cereal for breakfast and... WHOLE MILK! I was also going through a LOT of pain in middle school in that area, but you know... being a girl and in middle school. We just assumed it was growing pains and female troubles. Apparently it was probably my gall bladder dying.... I didn't have much pain out of it again after that though. Just haven't been able to eat a lot of foods without feeling terrible or getting sick. I always just thought that I was lactose intolerant. Then I realized I could have skim milk without any problems so it couldn't be lactose problems... That's when we started doing tests and realized my dear poor gall bladder was dead. No stones thankfully. Removed the sucker. Hasn't really helped me much. I gain weight a lot quicker and I get nauseous a lot. Not sure how they really relate considering my gall bladder was literally shriveled into nothing. My surgeon said it looked like a raisin.

Here too. We have 3 within 2 blocks. Another 3-4 past the railroad tracks......... I hear those are good.........

I had frozen pizza for dinner. Ate 4 small squares and then my phone rang and e-mail had 10 messages in it. Now it's cold pizza once hot once frozen pizza. Not so great anymore.... Guess wine will have to do.

 

[Bluer101]

We have Zaxby's here too. I prefer chic filet or pdq.

Just swinging by to say hi. Been extremely busy here in S FL. We had DS birthday party, Father's Day, big issues at work, busy getting ready for vacation, and had to start physical therapy with my back again. Just crazy down here, never a dull moment.

I can see myself relaxing poolside at RPR, hanging with pcstang, eating Bula, strolling around CW and parks can't get better than that.

knocking your back out of wack again riding roller coasters...... ahh yes I can see it now.
At least... that's what I'd do.

 

[macraven]

Sounds like you need and ready for a vacation bluer!

You will be so relaxed at UO
Have fun with pcstang in July

Can't believe it's coming so soon for you
Well you probably can't believe it is still far away

 

[macraven]

TinyD
Oh my goodness!
Glad they finally got the gall bladder removed
Took them long enough to figure it out

Bet you were miserable having pains from it for a long time

Nah. Only hurt me in middle school. Maybe.. I mean it really could have been growing pains and you know.. middle school girl problems. May have been both. Who knows! Didn't hurt me after that other than not being able to eat what I wanted. I can't say my inability to eat a lot of greasy foods is a bad thing though... I do love junk foods so it's probably for the best that my body hates them.

I think I'm jumping off here for the night. I predict an early morning tomorrow. Took 4 bookings in the last hour and I bet they'll be calling me in the morning to pay me.
Chopping my hair off tomorrow. I'd like to say that "it's just hair".... but unfortunately I love my long hair so it's still a bit of a anxious moment. It WILL grow back though. Someone tell me this in a week when I'm not happy with my hair cut. Also remind me of some happy kid/woman with a new wig who appreciates and needs/wants my hair more than I do. Kay? Also might be helpful to remind me that I've been cussing my hair all spring and summer Moral support from the SANs.

 

[macraven]

cut your hair
it will grow back.

i did that with mine in november

i donate my hair about about every 4 years to locks of love.

 

[tink1957]

TinyD...I bet you look cute with short hair.

It will grow back and it's awesome that you and mac donate to a great cause...my hair is too thin and scraggly to do it.

Besides, it will be cool for the summer.

 

[BagOLaughs]

Tiny D that's a really nice thing to do, donate your hair. It's lovely. I know what you mean about not wanting to give up long hair.

Ummmmm so much talk about food. You know I've never tried any of those places during my trips to the states. Popeyes, Chik fil a, never been. I always see the TV ads in the hotel room tho.

I can't believe a 5 hour queue for Frozen in Epcot. OMG. And it was out in the sun, just the odd sun umbrella dotted along the line. Hot hot hot! I could make some bad joke about queueing in that heat when the ride is called frozen but... you know.

 

[Lynne G]

Food, Food. Yep, I don't mind eating most animals, and really like BBQ too. We have quite a few BBQ places, and most are mom and pops. So, all different styles. My kids like the brisket the best, but pulled pork or chicken I would eat too. All right, you guys are getting me hungry.

My poor ipad died, so Apple is repairing it, and will send it back to my home. I hope the warranty is still good. I am so lost without it. Phone tapping is not my idea of fun, even though my ipad tapping isn't much better.

And, there was 81 mph winds, tornado sighted, roofs torn off, electricity off for over a thousand homes, golf ball size hail. Yep, that nasty storm hit south and east of us. Our area, less than 20 miles away, a bone dry nothing. Had to water the droopy flowers and tomato plants. Rain to come tomorrow night. We'll see.

Well, it is Wednesday, and Keisha needs her camel reminder:

So, enjoy that cup of coffee and relax, it's the summer time.

Bluer, hope you back feels better.

Schumi, hope DH is feeling better too.

And TinyD, a raisin? Ugh, what a bad feeling during your younger years. At least you know what food to eat now. Nice to donate to locks of love. DD has donated several times so far. She's in the long hair phase right now. I assume, she'll get mad, and have it all chopped off one of these days. Short hair for the summer is so much cooler.
