Something About Nothing ... #12

[macraven]

Hello to all! I know I've been AWOL for quite a while...sorry about that! Day to day life and holidays, ya know? I was looking up ideas to make my youngest kiddo's mattress comfy (you can really feel the springs ) and a thread popped up on the DISboards. And BAM, I was like, OMGosh, I haven't logged in there for months!

Hope you are all doing well! I'll try to make time in the mornings to pop in and say Hi! (Though I was pretty scared when I saw the "Thong Thursday" pic, hehe)

I wondered where you were
Then I thought you ran away from home and living on the beach in Hawaii

Then I started to get ticked since you did not take me with youse .....

Now I'll glad all over you came back home

So many homies posting away here this afternoon while I spent my time at the sprint store diagnosing my phone

Feel like I missed the party here

So good to see everyone here!




Maybe the thong Thursday will be repeated each week?

just on the imac and on this computer, no avatars show up.

on my cell that i use most of the time, i do see all the avatars and everything else.


my imac is on the second floor and i do not get up to that room very often the past 2 weeks.

Everyone`s avatars seem to be back.......

Even happy housewives like me love Friday`s!!!! Always something special about it........

Trying to decide what to have for lunch today.........dinner is sorted........

Have a great Friday.........

 

[schumigirl]

Enjoy the rest of the day Homes! Trying get to be as productive as possible while the dog is at doggie daycare today. He has a habit of attacking the mop and the vacuum cleaner and then barks the entire time...lol...so it's nice to clean "in peace"

That made laugh and reminded me about my son.......he didn't attack the vacuum ......but loved to try and sit on it while I vacuumed......he was around 18 months at the time.......love to tease him about it now.......

 

[Kivara]

Mac, I wish I was on a beach in Hawaii! I will remember to kidnap you if I ever run off

Happy Friday to all!

Schumi, that is too cute about your son! I used to vacuum the floor while carrying my babies. They loved the sound so much that by the time they were 18 months, I could vacuum around them while they slept! Now they are teens that don't want to sleep...wish the vacuum still lulled them, HAHA!

Have a great day everyone!

That's funny about the dog and vacuums. When my labs were young, I was vacuuming, and while I got quite a few barks at it, it stopped working. Looked around and the big boy chewed through the cord. How he did not get electrocuted is beyond me. For years, my vacuum's cord has electrical tape on part of it, and worked fine.

Yes, working or not, it is Friday! And I have been so ready. Full week after a holiday week just seems to go slower.

Yep, can see all pictures and avatars now.

Hope your phone troubles were fixed at the Sprint store Mac. That's an annoyance I hate. For some reason, my phone decided it did not want to use my ring tone I asked it to use. Then just when I was going to complain to the Apple store, it corrected. Then the battery was also a hog, then that corrected itself too. Maybe it was possessed?

And since it's Friday, more reminders are needed:

Story about my phone the corporate store found out

Need to give it to them to see if they can repair it

The charging port is not functioning correctly
My light stays green 90% of the time meaning it is charging constantly
And this is when I am not charging the phone

Took a pass to have them send it out as it could take 14 days
They would see if it is repairable and if not, I would be issued a new phone

Since I leave this weekend, kept the phone
When I return from the trip will get a new phone as I can't go two weeks without one
We don't have a home phone

Guess it is better to have that issue than car trouble

Looks like this trip will be done as all others I have taken

Packing at last minute again
Hahahahaha

Morning homies!

Afternoon everyone back to the real world after a few short days of a trip. Had a nice time minus falling yesterday. Was watching transformer character yesterday morning when a guy came walking fast by me and I stepped back to keep him from stepping on my foot (which has been broken twice) and fell. Besides a bruised tush and thigh i faired well considering I have great difficulty getting up after having bilateral joint replacement.

I watched the fireworks last night at Universal after riding my fav ride Gringotts. Was nice.

Simpsons is down for reburb and Kong was slow on Wednesday because they were down to two vehicles from 5.

I did confirm this morning that beach pool at Portofino is closed till mid February.

Heads up the Villa pool was very cold. A few kiddos braved the water.... no adults were brave enough to get in. Myself included.

All the folks attending Potter weekend were checking into this morning at hotel and they all had their robes on. It was cool to see young and old with their Potter attire. Should be nice cool weekend for them in their robes. Will be cooler for next four days.

Have a safe trip up to Universal Mac. Have a great time.

Have great Friday everyone.

Boo!
Bet you thought I'd disappeared too! Just been having a quick catch up and hoping everyone is happy and well and enjoyed the holidays. Hoping to get back into planning our next visit to our happy place before we have any other challenges. We've had three bereavements since November and still got ongoing commitments (as do you all I know) but we've settled into a pattern for now.

Glad it's Friday we're just home and looking forward to a cozy evening in!

 

[Robo56]

Nice to see you back Realfoodfans.

Thanks for pixie dust wishes for DD! She was very upbeat after her interview yesterday when she called-waiting game now.

Funny stories about the vacuum cleaners - I hate buying new ones so mine are usually duct taped somewhere and it still works. Kinda like my dishes-23 years old(wedding presents), chipped, missing some pieces, but still work LOL. DH keeps telling me to go buy new dishes already but why spend money when the old ones still work? Plus can't find any new stuff I like without getting heart attack over price.

Trying to be motivated, have stuff to do. Not going well so far
Plus it is COLD outside although we do have sun

Enjoyed the movie prop store.

well.....has our girl got the call and hired yet???
tell her we all here are sending her mummy dust and hope she gets the position!
i know it is hard on you as a mom as when your kids hurt/cry, you do too....

happy to see you back here and hanging with the homies.

what is a vacuum cleaner?
oh, you mean that thing that Mr Mac uses on the rugs..

 

[macraven]

Robo !!

i felt your pain when you said you fell down
how awful that happened!!!

are your knees okay any issues with them?
hope the rest of the body does not ache much longer but when you take a hard fall like you did, you'll be bruised and sore for sometime

(yea, here i am telling the nurse about recovery......)


we are doing disney for most of the trip and tacked on the darkside at the end.
since the concert for Mardi Gras is not a choice performer, will take a pass on that.

pencil me in for october.......

Thanks Mac - it is tough particularly for hubs as when his dad passed his mum was very ill in hospital too - we were going from one ward to the other. She is home now and doing ok but was unable to attend her husband's funeral. Puts everyday problems into perspective for sure.

 

[Lynne G]

Oh Robo, sounds like you had a great mini vacation, but sorry to hear of your fall. I hope you are healing well.

Real, sorry to hear of your losses. Time does heal, let the memories be good ones. Sending a hug.

Ahh, the joys of having teens. One hunkered down in her room, online playing with friends. Other one is at a friend's and most likely won't be back until late. Quiet and TV control for us, parental units. Enjoying a nice cup of tea.

Enjoy this falling temperature Friday night.

 

[schumigirl]

RFF........nice to see you back again.........so sorry you've had such a tough year. Loss is hard to deal with at times. Glad MiL is doing better though...........

Monyk..........continued good wishes for the result you all want for DD.........waiting is the hardest part! Funny about the duct tape.........lol........

Robo!!! You fell.........oh hope you're ok........glad you had a nice relaxing time though......nice pics!


We have rain this morning, which is so much better than the freezing weather we've had last few days.......still have fog though........heard the foghorns going during the night out to sea........

Not sure what our plans are today.........may go buy one of those airfryer things........not sure yet. Have a hankering to go shopping regardless.........

Have a good Saturday............
