Something About Nothing ... #12

[Metro West]

I have a 2012 Cadillac CTS-V station wagon. 6 speed manual, 565 HP. It's a beast!

I see those on Mecum Auctions every now and then...they are quite impressive.

 

[Charade67]

Good afternoon. I am currently sitting in the car riders lane at school waiting to pick up my daughter. We are off to the music store to have someone look at her clarinet.

My test yesterday went well I suppose. It was a taste and smell test. Aside from some mild hypersensitivity with smell, everything was normal. I have had a problem for years with certain smells being distorted and often stay with me for hours or even days. I have seen several specialists and no one can find anything physically wrong with me to cause this problem.

Pooh - I currently have a small SUV - a Honda CR-V. I love it, but will probably get a smaller car. I’m not sure if I could handle one of the bigger ones like you want. I have one of those bills on my desk too. My car is so old the taxes are less that what our family spends on a meal out. I’m not looking forward to that going up next year.

Lynne - I didn’t exactly get the results I wanted. I was hoping there was at least a name for what is bothering me. It looks like it is something I will just have to live with.

Chuckers - My cat has the most pitiful sounding meow when he can’t reach the bugs he finds. He sounds like he just lost his best friend. I love the countdown math lesson. Math was always my favorite subject.

Wagman - I am the same with cars. I like to buy new, but will keep it until it is nearly falling apart. I should be getting my new one in December.

Monykalyn - A 5.0? Wow! Congrats to your daughter. I think she is guaranteed to get into NHS. I wish we had an archery club here. My daughter loves archery, but needs more practice at it.

Bell is about to ring. Time to get a diagnosis on the clarinet.

Humpty hump. A whopping high temp of 44 degrees today & damp, sadly the camels have gone into hibernation.

I broke down & 'let' the mr fire up our boiler. Didn't make it till November, but dog was shivering despite wearing a sweater & his coat (not kidding). Never had a pet happy to wear clothes in the past. I'm officially a crazy dog lady. Has a skull & cross bone sweater and a spongebob varsity jacket.

Booked our lone 2 nights for next October @ SF. Blackout dates for youfirst platinum are already in place, somebody on the ball this year @ corporate darn it! We really only venture into parks a few hours beforehand to stay & scream anyway. Need to try and snag Wilderness Lodge for earlier part of the trip soon. Seems crazy to be booking travel so far ahead but surely saw the need this year when i was absolutely scrambling for a month trying to add onto Columbus Day trip @ universal.

Carole - I'm pretty sure I've never even sat in a Mercedes lol. Kyle is one lucky dude.

By the time I'm ready to pay off a vehicle, usually sick of it, fickle woman i am. My kids typically line up to take it off my hands vs me trading it. Have a '13 Altima with 20K on it. DH is already bookmarking cars for me to take a peek at lol. Figure the next vehicle may be my last once the mr retires. Don't see the need to run 2 of them at that point, especially since there's a Harley in the garage gathering dust & i have 3 kids living nearby driving 'my' old rides lol.

 

[Lynne G]

Ooh, Keisha, if you are ready to give that car up in the Spring, I may be interested. Little one will have to drive across the state to get it, but not an issue. We brought my mom’s one car home from Ohio.

Well, the u bake pizza did not do the trick. It was not as large as I thought either. Maybe grilled sandwiches or little one put on a pot of water. I guess that means pasta. Yeah, that sounds good too.

Sigh, a cooler night.

Dumb daughter .... gotta stop the teens from further name calling. Potty mouth is in rare form.

 

[macraven]

Keisha if you sell the car to lynne, maybe you won't have to put hours of cleaning it first

I never cleaned mine when selling it to a relative

Evening Sans family .

Mikey is calling to say, Halloween only a week away.





Chuckers never heard a fly called sky raisin. That’s funny.

Schumigirl congratulations to your son on his new car . Those AMG Mercedes are sleek and sporty. Beautiful cars. They do sell the AMG line here in the US not sure all Mercedes dealers have them though. I have only been holding on to my vehicles for three years. Firgure it’s good to get a new one before anything major goes wrong. Sad part though is they have changed the design this year a bit on the Cadillac SUV I presently have.

Charades congratulations to your daughter on her induction into NHS.

Keishashadow You must have the coolest dog in the neighborhood with the skull and crossbone sweater.

 

[Lynne G]

Want a dog picture. Sounds cute Keisha. I could never get even a bandanna on all 3 of mine. My boxer would shiver in the cold, but would not let me put even a towel on her.

Love the sound of the dog jacket!! Robo’s right.......that is a cool dog that would be dressed like that!

Thanks Janet, he’s so excited........hoping he lets mum and dad get an occasional drive of this one! Now car shopping is one type I do enjoy..........nothing fickle about changing a car........it’s fun!

We are looking forward to our stay at SF in May so much! Planning no parks at all.......although if we decide to hop in one day we’ll just buy EP.......but no plans at the moment for park time that trip........at the moment anyway......lol...

Love the Michael image.........he’s sure getting closer...........Halloween has been on the movie channel here this week.......I have put it on the TiVo box.......or whatever you call their latest offering......never sure.......will watch it sometime.........it still gets me every time. Although I am like a rucksack with Tom after we do watch it.......lol......

It’s the Mercedes A Class I meant wasn’t readily available in the United States. We always visit the Merc dealership in Orlando every year and last year they said it is coming over at some point.......


I am up far too early this morning........been downstairs for over an hour, it’s 6.30am now.............DS will be up in a minute.......heyho.........

Planing bacon for breakfast for dh and I when he gets up........DS not really a bacon fan........

Time for tea..........

 

[Lynne G]

oooh, Schumi --- two of my favorite words -tea and bacon.

A cool and mostly starry start to this before dawn. Just below 40 last night, so a brisk one today. Clouds to take the sun away after lunch, then we'll have some cooler, bright days. But the South is not done with us yet, Sunday will have a tropical feel, as a tropical storm will hit us late Saturday night into a very wet Sunday. That's fine, a day to sleep in. May do Boo at the Zoo on Saturday, then hit the outlets.

And, today is Thursday.

So, throw back time, and have a nice memory of someone or something and a drink. Thirsty today!



Love the Halloween pictures Robo. Halloween's getting closer.....

------- ideas for Mac. :0


This a catty post. Time for tea for me too. Later homies.

 

[PoohIsHome]

Did someone say bacon???? Good Thursday morning to ya, homies!

For some reason, I have visions of sushi and drinks as big as my noggin dancing in my head. That'll teach me to read a day in the Orlando life of Carole and Tom before I go to bed!

@Charade67 The weight of a larger 4WD SUV comes in handy here in the winter.....or at least that's my story and I'm sticking to it.

We're in that VA weather season known as Bi-polar. Our highs for the next four days, including today, are 59, 70, 57 and 43....make up your mind Mother Nature, make up your mind.

22 days....I think I can, I think I can, I think I can...........

 

[Chuckers]

Happy Thursday!!

@Lynne G LOVE the kitty pictures!

I'll have some bacon, too, please!

Another wet day here in the Boston area.. day three of rain. But, it's the day before a long weekend for me! Going to NJ tomorrow for a weekend of Square Dancing! It will be nice to have a mini-getaway, even if it *is* New Jersey.

Hope all are well!

 

[Chuckers]

Did you know that in 1752, 6.5 million Britons went to bed on Sept 2nd and woke up on Sept 14th? Was it a sleeping sickness? Did everyone go bonkers? Nope, that was when England officially switched from the Julian calendar to the Gregorian calendar. Unfortunately, to get in sync with the rest of the world, they had to skip 11 days because the Julian calendar measured time incorrectly. They weren't the last country to adopt the Gregorian calendar. Russia didn't change over until 1918 and Greece changed in 1923. By that time, those two countries had to skip 13 days in order to catch up with the rest of the world.

I wish I could skip 1752 hours because then I would be on vacation!!!

 

[Monykalyn]

Morning! Coffee for me- can hear the pot gurgleing as it finishes up. Last day of work for me this week. Getting my hair did tomorrow- I need to stop being shocked at amount of grey that shows up between appointments...since I've had a few greys since age 27 when first kid was born.

Love th pics PoohisHome!!

I too want a doggy picture (-although the kitty pics are sweet-happy Thursday indeed)

And yes we are in bipolar season here too-high of 80 degrees and clear then high of 45 tomorrow and Saturday.

Haven't heard from the kid who went to HHN last night...expect she'll sleep til noon today.

Coffee is DONE! Later y'all

 

[keishashadow]

Must be high humidity, went outside with said cute dog and felt like walking into a sponge. Odd, not foggy. Think the ground is just so damp.

Mr worked late, need to polish off the 4# pkg of bacon i opened on Sunday. If i make enough & he gets 'full', may be able to skip making him dinner hmmm lol.

Keisha if you sell the car to lynne, maybe you won't have to put hours of cleaning it first

I never cleaned mine when selling it to a relative

Lol same

Lynne the boys tend to arm wrestle for the rights. FYI - Would have far less miles on it if mom wasn't over 100 mile RT away in nursing home. You wouldn't believe how long i ran a Cadillac Seville. Still miss that car wah.

My kids are saying he's doing the doggie walk of shame

I cannot get my iphone pics to post here, getting message file is too large. Guess i need to roll them over to smugmug, well i need to figure it out. Was lucky to get all my old photobucket ones over just a day before i was set to renew at that higher rate

Maybe I'll rent one in MCO one day . My luck, they'd pull the we are out of Mercedes, here's a like car & try to pawn off a Chrysler 300 or something. Not that there's anything wrong with them btw Kills me the cars i find on fullsize alamo rental aisles. Pushing it to say they are midsize. Nothing beats the Fiat i got stuck with earlier this year.

Happy Thursday!!

@Lynne G LOVE the kitty pictures!

Seriously, a KISS cat!!! My day is made.

Going swing that pardner round & round? Sounds like fun. Not a thing here, polkas parties fill that void. Yes, i can cut a mean one

Good day all!

I've danced a few polkas, but not in ages! They were fun!

Our square dancing is a blast. It's not like the square dancing everyone knows. We shout things back at the caller, do different moves during the calls, and dance to some interesting music. We did a square dance to the music from Angry Birds, Lady Gaga, as well as other pop singers.

 

[Squirlz]

Yesterday was my last day of antibiotics, which means I can drink again after 10 days. I'm really in no hurry though...the only problem I had was not knowing what to do with my hands in the evening!

 

[PoohIsHome]

Thanks, @Monykalyn Those were from our one day visit in '15 when we went down to visit my Ocala snowbird Mom and Dad. Corey had just been released from his orthopedic boot after the ankle break.

Took care of a bit more trip housekeeping this AM. Took Riley in for his 3yr rabies vaccine and tomorrow he goes in for his grooming appointment. Who's Riley, you ask? This cutie pie.....who snores worse than a 78yr old man.

 

[Lynne G]

Riley's a sweet looking dog. Funny, our dogs never snored, but the boy barked in his sleep sometimes.

 

[PoohIsHome]

@Lynne G Riley's a Cavalier king charles who transforms into something about the size of a tank come bedtime. Who in the world he manages to take up 3/4 of a king size bed is beyond me.

 

[Chuckers]

@PoohIsHome What an adorable pup!!!

I love my cats, but sometimes I really wish I could have a dog. Right now, I just couldn't take of one the way it deserves to be looked after.
