Something About Nothing ... #12

[SharkyGoddess]

What a nice homie you are!

Still no rain and last night on the news we are now 11.90 inches down

So I water the plants
Have it down to 2 hours to complete it all in the evening

Of course I could be looking at a $400 water bill this month but to replace the stuff would be tremendous

My Japanese red elm would be $1000 to replace

I keep telling our rain clouds that they're still too far north! We get flash flood warnings with ever ran alert.

Hey guys...send that rain our way...mac and I are still waiting....help a homie out

Only 40 days to go

 

[Monykalyn]

No countdown here
No rain today either-just the ever present this summer heat advisory. Chickens were panting hard so gave them the last of the chilled watermelon.
Damn Disney sent their Disney rewards flyer today (for Disney visa holders) Special prices for Halloween party at DLR-looked at flight prices and hotel options for a couple different dates. Waayyy cheaper than florida! Shouldn't have looked. Now I want to go! Need to be patient-if my oldest does get a DCP internship next fall I will have countdowns with the rest of ya'll -so my potential countdown is 365+?50 something LOL.

You guys will be doing updates and pictures on your trips right?

 

[macraven]

I did not get that flyer

 

[macraven]

I'll try to do an update each day

I need bluer to give me Mac 101 steps on posting pics


And if I can, you will see food pics

Yay! It's Friday! So happy. It's been a long week for me. With MonyK, but we have an excessive warning today and well, the next 2 days too. Have yet to hear any clucking from the neighbor chickens. He has a fancy chicken house, so I am sure, it's cooler in there than outside. They are from South America, but I bet they don't like the heat we're having either.

Per our weather lady this morning: Excessive heat warning, heat index to be 110 or higher. Chance of late afternoon or early evening thunderstorms, everywhere is fair game.
Okay then. Lots of water and hope not to be bulls-eye. Somehow, I seem to be the looser on my way home.

Got the teens up, grunts in response. Neither are morning people. Little one could sleep to noon. I've been up for hours, as the 4am rain downpour woke me up, and well, once I am awake, I get up. So, have to steep another pot of tea already. I may move to coffee, as someone else usually makes it.

So, the sun is up, the clouds are fleeing until later in the day. Hello all, and have a great week-end!

33 days for us..........

Sent some rain your way...........we've had more than enough!



Warm and dull today.........got new glasses, don't like the feel of them though.........will give them till Monday and if they still feel odd will go back with them. They're for reading and close up work, I can still drive ok as my distance sight is perfect.

Pizza for dinner tonight............

Even though I'm a lady of leisure.........I still love that Friday feeling........DH has taken Monday off......long weekend yay........

Have a good un.........

TGIF!!!

Janet...I like the 3-D houses too for the same reason...cataracts and astigmatism are good for something I guess

It was supposed to rain all day today...it was cloudy and cooler but not much rain to speak of, I planted a few flowers to replace the ones that died in hopes that they would get a good soaking...oh well, here's hoping the rain will come soon for me and mac.

The houses sound good this year, I ordered my ROF tickets today and can't wait to see what the last house is...should be announced soon since we only have a little over a month to go.

Lol exactly, crappy vision finally pays off

Houses do sound good this year..........hope you get some more rain coming up.........will happily share ours........




Yep, more rain again today.......hasn't stopped since last night......and cool again. Summer can't really be over already.........

Off for a drive of some fancy Mercedes sports cars this weekend........cannot wait! Hope it dries up for that...........we adore our own Mercedes cars so looking forward to driving a couple of different ones!

That's Saturday taken care of.........did have some plans, but when this opportunity came up we changed them and will see friends another time..........

5 weeks today...........

Before I croak would like to plop my fat butt in an Mercedes. Had a relative you used to say the same about a Cadillac, being driven to cemetery in said brand's hearse counts - I guess lol

Did Mac say hot and humid? We are for sure. Weather guy just said today, and for the next several days, will feel soupy outside. Soup anyone? Already 82, and oh so thick. With clouds blocking the sun, it's already dull out.

Went to the mall last night. Couldn't believe, along the starting to see Halloween stuff, there's Christmas stuff. I'm not ready. It's been so hot, the idea of warmer clothes is just not there yet. And, since most of September and even parts of October tend to be warm, the kids usually are in shorts and T-shirts for the first 6 or so weeks of school.

Oooh Schumi, the driving sports cars sounds exciting. Hope the weather improves so you don't drive on wet roads.

And, off the steep the tea. I need caffeine, like now.

Seriously, no central AC in my house. Have been looking for excuses to go to store all week. Haven't been in backyard pool for days, it's that hot yuck.

47 days until I am in Orlando

1 for me

Yinz guys need countdown counters in signature. Saves counting on those fingers & toe.

Figure with the run of heat we've been having, should be pretty acclimated to the FL weather...ha, wishful thinking

And what type of winters do you have?

4 ft of snow at one time?

Minus 11 not including. Wind chill

That is why I moved to get away from winters

But for those that enjoy it they wouldn't like living in The South

Lol

Indeedy, we get the 'best' of both worlds lol. Those in the south tend to snicker when us northerners moan when it breaks 90 degrees but pretty sure they'd be losing it over the long, harsh winter.

But you are hot......


Oh, not that kind of hot

Beat me to the punch lol

No countdown here

The DL MNSSHP tix sell out, not just the popular dates either. Last year the day we wanted a week prior to Columbus Day was unavailable within a week.

 

[Lynne G]

1 Kiesha? Wow, time does fly. Have an awesome trip. Too hot to think of the fall yet.

 

[macraven]

Tomorrow Keisha ?

.

Lol.......you can come over and have a go in both of ours anytime.......DS is very protective of his and doesn't like to share his............but ours is more powerful anyway....... Apparently we're snobs about cars....... Who knew........

Have a fabulous break away.........and hope iguana isn't on the menu anywhere..........

Been working with Bushnell last ten days for documents and finalizing forms for a dual full military funeral

So have been on the boards off and on

What has been in my mind isn't anything that others want to hear about

You all were here for me when I spent 7 years of my life taking care of both my parental units
Last 1.5 years of their lives it was full time care

Finally I have been able to let go and move the parental units out of my closet to the grave

Got the phone call this morning all docs and forms are in order and now they want the date and time for the burial service

Time for me to let go and think of a date to make that drive to Florida

Going to spend time looking for hotels as have not ventured outside of Orlando area before

And need to look at maps for the
drive to Tampa

Hope all the homies have a great weekend and not a lot of hot weather or pouring rain

I say it's my and tink's turn for the rain...... Lol

 

[pcstang]

My paternal grandparents had full military services at bushnell. It's been years but was a very moving service.

 

[pcstang]

Wait, you arrive October 2??
And staying a full week this time??


Yea, you will be around for lots of meets then

I'll get into Orlando that night and check in to RPR the next morning.

 

[Lynne G]

Mac. My dad had such at his funeral, and my DH does them at grave services for over 15 years so far. In fact, he's doing one as I post here. Very moving indeed.
Safe travel to Tampa. Check trip advisor to get a better idea of where to stay. I'd stay near the beach, up a little if I was going to stay around Tampa.

And I'll send rain. That rain early this morning was well gone by 8am. Now, full sun and more big while clouds. I swear, if I float going home today, I'm not sure I'm going to laugh or get angry. My poor flowers and tomato plants are still not as good as they can be. That sun has been brutal this summer.

Enjoy your week-end all! (I get to sleep in for a change! )

 

[macraven]

I'm just planning to drive and get a room in Tampa area and do the burial the next day

Spend rest of the day in the hotel then and drive home the next morning

Just looking for a decent place for a short stay

It will take, I think 12 weeks for the marker stones to come in

Will make a trip back down for that

 

[schumigirl]

Glad you got it all sorted out mac........be a big relief for you when it's done.......

I'll get into that night and check in to RPR the next morning.

You check in as we leave............think we miss quite a few folks this year.......

But I do get to meet Keisha finally this year........she's been on my must meet list for a while..........



Pizza just about ready to go...........wine is poured already........well it is Friday.........

 

[Robo56]

Mac glad to hear all your hard work in making arrangements for your mom and dad are coming to completion. This has been a long journey for you. You are a good and loving daughter. God Bless you as you continue to work through this time. Your Sans family are here for you dear friend

Just saw on internet that WDW will no longer have Electric Light Parade after 10-9-16.

I read it was moving DLR. With the majority of my posts on the UO side of the board most can probably tell what I am and am not a fan of. My son and I got trapped in adventure land by the ELP once. I swear I thought it would never end.
