Something About Nothing ... #12

It looks like we are finally going to get our deck repaired. DH got several quotes and today we chose a contractor. Once we get the deck repaired we are going to get a grill. I don’t think I’ve ever had a grill.

Party at your house when the grill comes!!

Congratulations to her. B was born not too far away at Coral Springs Medical Center.

Thanks! She was very impressed with the hospital!!

I used to be an AP clerk, and now I’m stuck with all the family finances and paperwork. I don’t dare let dh handle it though.

:thumbsup2 Same here!

’m one of the newer members here, but I did get tto meets Lynne very briefly back in December. Hopefully one day I will have another vacation that coincides with someone else in this group.

Yep- I hope so, too!!

I just noticed I passed 5000 posts. Woo!

:cool1:Congrats!!
Patty, I had seafood tonight too. I made fried shrimp and curly fries for dinner. I don't eat fried very often but I'm starting my diet again in a few days so what the hay.

Sounds great! Yes- I have to start the diet that was supposed to begin two weeks ago!!

Supposed to be a sleep in Sunday, but I awoke with stuffy/runny nose and cough- yep kiddo shared his cold with me. So I got up to take more cold meds (actually started yesterday but I felt great on beach-all that Vitamin D?)

Hope you feel better soon! Yep- a beach and sun are very good natural meds!

Both my kids better copy my yelling for an alarm, when I am not home or they aren’t, and have to wake up.:crazy:

I used to get so nervous once the kids had to get themselves up in the morning! I think they were probably late for school a few times, but they got used to it. Their phones are set to go off as an alarm and they sleep with it under their pillows!!

So, off out to the Mercedes showroom where we buy all our cars from and have done for years...….....they have an S550 and an S65 AMG in for a short time so we have to go and get a drive of them.

That sounds wonderful! Have a great drive! Love to see a picture of them!


Pet/house sitting this weekend for my sister. She and my brother-in-law are visiting my niece in NYC. They're going to a Yankees game today!!

Have a great day all!!
 
Happy FTWD mid season finale day!!! Yes, it passes as a SANs holiday for many of us here :)

Normally, TS during the evening don’t bother or wake me up. Crikey, the boomers we had last night! Ground felt like a sponge when i took the pooch out this am. Bit of a break but willing to bet the next round will hit just as i tromp out to the grill to cook the steaks for early dinner. Mr on 4-12, throws off the schedule for rest of week.

Robbie - hope you are feeling a mite better today! Take it slow & easy.


pattyw, we all are so happy you joined us here.
It is a nice group of people and everyone plays nice.
(really seems like you have been with us for years.....)


I have had this thread in continuation since April 2007

Part 1: http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=1416196


Have met in person many homies that posted in the first year and throughout the years of this thread .

Some come and go and some return after being gone years....
And we pick up more peeps frequently



Always a delight to have all homies to drop back in and play ketchup with us.



When someone new posts here, the others, sooner or later will welcome you.
When someone from the past returns, many times they share with us how they have been doing to catch us up with them.



I tell everyone, once you post in the SAN thread, you are a homie and always one of us!



Naturally, I’m biased lol but feel this thread is among the most welcoming long-running ones on the DIS.

For that matter, the boards here have an overall good vibe, inclusive, non-threatening and friendly. I won’t go to the CB any longer, just too much negative energy. Even the resort boards can be full of passive agressive types. Hope they get it out of their system, but not going to be a part of of the process KWIM?

People share here, we all get along even when we don’t agree with eachother. Some drive by now & again to catch up, others are regulars. A few who have stopped by to say hi have disappeared. Will guess no connection or they are not having their specific needs met and have moved on.

We all know the types who need to shine brightly vs communicate. They start a thread with the intent that it solely revolves around them. All the better if they draw a contingent of minions ooh’ing & aah’ing in their wake. Disagree or share a common experience and you are summarily drummed out of the core. The SANs is an anthesis to that sort of rubbish. Good thing there something for everyone on the Dis I suppose.

You won’t believe this.......well, knowing me so well, you might :rotfl:........I have never seen Gremlins!

Tom and even Kyle love it.......but I lasted 31.5 seconds.........and declared it a duff!!! Actually there’s a few movies folks don’t believe I’ve never seen............Star Wars anyone.......I’ve heard that’s quite a popular movie......:rolleyes1

Loving the sound of those ribs........

We’ve had wine and now onto champagne cocktails.......but got the munchies now........

I literally can’t imagine not having SW in my life lol However, it get it, have gotten some choice comments over the years, upon being questioned that Casablanca’s appeal escapes me.



Done with our housework, etc. Going out to dinner tonight. Feeling like seafood- so we're off to Red Lobster!!

Have a great night all!!

They do seafood right! I am not thrilled with their revamped menu(s) over the last two years but always find something that hits the spot.

Good evening everybody. I don’t know where the day went. I slept in today getting up around 10:00. We went to the movies late last night to see The Muppet Movie. We have a theater that shows second run movies for $3 and they are doing a “classics” series. The theater had mostly adults. I guess we were all there for the nostalgia.

It looks like we are finally going to get our deck repaired. DH got several quotes and today we chose a contractor. Once we get the deck repaired we are going to get a grill. I don’t think I’ve ever had a grill.

We had thunderstorms again this evening. When they finally subsided we decided to go to Olive Garden for supper. The closer we got the worse the rain was. We finally just turned around and headed to a restaurant closer to home.

I have every video since she was in first grade. I regret not buying the videos from her first two years.

Congratulations to her. B was born not too far away at Coral Springs Medical Center.


No summer vacation plans here either. We have a mini vacation coming up next week after we visit my mother. I don’t count her visit as a vacation since she lives in the middle of nowhere.

I looked at B’s yearbook and several of the seniors had quotes from Spongebob. I asked her not to do that next year and she said. “I’ve never watched Spongebob.”

I used to be an AP clerk, and now I’m stuck with all the family finances and paperwork. I don’t dare let dh handle it though.

I’m one of the newer members here, but I did get tto meets Lynne very briefly back in December. Hopefully one day I will have another vacation that coincides with someone else in this group.

Yikes and ouch! I have a little scar on my pinky finger where I foolishly used a food slicer without the finger guard.


Continued prayers for Robo and the others involved in the wreck.

Spongebob is one of the few cartoons I faithfully watch, wicked funny with appeal to adults.

Probably can still quote most of the muppet movie dialogue, it was on such heavy replay here.

DH is a handy man :). He built our multiple decks. This weekend started the proccess of replacing a few errant boards. So glad he knows his way around the house, has saved us tons of $$$ and he gets satisfaction out of it. Has made some nice furniture & built ins too. Figure he’ll have more time once he retires down the road.

Had no idea what I wanted to eat tonight after I did a food pick up for son at Panera

Ended up picking up food at Krystal for me

Hope all the homies are doing fine

Don’t have Krystal here. Is that a burger joint?

I thank all of you for being so warm and welcoming to me! I have so many more friends now!!

Krystal is similar to White Castle

We don't have either here- soon we'll have our first Chick -Fil- A!!

I have a feeling Robbie will pop in here sometime today

Robbie- you are in my thoughts and prayers!
 
Ooh, we like Chick-Fil-a, Patty, though sometimes annoyed closed on Sunday. If you like real chicken breaded stuff, you will like it there. Their fries, we could take or not, as we find them not hot many times. Waffle type are good though. And they changed their honey mustard, where first ingredient is vinegar, so we don’t like it as much as others. I still order it, even if sometimes I can’t stand the sourness.

Well, left the store in dry, by the time we were about 2 miles away, needed the windshield wipers. Did not bring all in, as the rain was hard enough, eh, save it for later. Will not be rotten if sitting in the car for a day or two.

So, time for lunch, and I picked up a cheesecake from Cheesecake Factory, so that may be my lunch. Went to BK for breakfast.

So, later, and Robo, take your time to post. We all continue to send healing wishes, and you and your DH are in our thoughts and prayers.
 
Chick fil a and bojangles we have many of them

Add on kfc also here

And Guthrie

I have been chicken’d out ...

I did try the southern chicken places listed above and that was enough to last me a lifetime once Monyk showed us her pet chicks

CFA is my favorite fast food. One of
Our local ones is closing temporarily for renovations, so they are putting a mobile location not too far from where I live. The rumor is that if the mobile location does well they will consider building a restaurant in my town.

So, time for lunch, and I picked up a cheesecake from Cheesecake Factory, so that may be my lunch.
Bye y’all. I’m heading to Lynne’s for lunch.

Ok- now I don't want chicken! I'll meet Lynne and Charade at Cheesecake Factory!!
 
Sorry for ruining the chicken appeal Mac :rotfl:
Just saw that our beach condo is literally one street and 2-3 blocks over from the Disboards.com office here! Doubt there's anybody there on weekends but would have been cool to say hi to someone (especially Teresa - she cracks me up).

I'm hungry. May have to tackle part of the calzone monster.

Hope Robbie's soreness and aches are seasing up today. Healing thoughts and prayers and pixie dust and mummy dust and whatever we can muster from the universe to speed the process sent your way!

I need to borrow your mister!!! My mister “calls the guy” for whatever needs doing........thing is when he has tackled the occasional DIY job, he does a good job........but prefers to call the guy........::yes::

Never seen Spongebob once......yes, Casablanca passed me by too.......

You are spot on with your observations of some posts on the dis........:thumbsup2:thumbsup2:thumbsup2 The San thread is about everyone not just one person........a real mix!! I wish some of the past members would come back more often.......

Where is St L??? Hope he’s doing ok........

I have a feeling Robbie will pop in here sometime today

:yay:
(I heard from here and she will try to )


Sent her an email this morning, and yes, she’s hoping to pop on later.........:hug:

Never had a chick a filet..........I do love chicken!!!!



Well, had a fabulous day driving those cars!!! Wow.......so much fun.......our cars are powerful, but these were off the scale!!

DS couldn’t have a go as he’s under 25, but he enjoyed a back seat drive.........

Told DH when we change our car in December it won’t be one of those!!!! Would be nice though.......::yes::

Then met some friends for late lunch/early dinner, the husband used to work with DH, he’s come home from Saudi for good now and has taken early retirement too.........it was good to catch up with them. And enjoyed some crab and shrimp.......lovely!

Now home, having a cup of tea and watch the Grand Prix later..........

Hope everyone’s having a good Sunday..........
 
That was our Robbie on the stretcher

Keep her in your prayers everyone

Sending prayers and good wishes to Robbie and family!!

Wow, oh Robo I hope and pray all are okay.

Please send her wishes from all of us that know her.......we are all thinking of her and her family........:hug:

Prayers going out for Robo. I’m glad to hear that her injuries weren’t more severe. Prayers for a quick recovery.

Robbie, sending lots of mummy dust and healing thoughts. You are in my prayers, as well as your DH. Know good thoughts are always being sent, and please let me know if I can help.

Oh my goodness so glad she is OK!!! Can recover from soreness and aches and things can be replaced, how incredible scary.
Mac please let us know if there is anything she needs that we can do. It's funny how I may have not met people IRL but feel like I know y'all.

Wow - glad her injuries aren't severe. We're thinking of you Robo.

Robbie- when you read this please know that you are in my prayers and wishing you speedy healing! I know that I've not met you yet, but all of us here share so much about our lives, that I consider everyone here my friend!:flower3:
And I'll absolutely pray for all of the others involved and touched by this accident!

Robbie - oh dear, was so sorry to hear your accident. Praying for you!

Robbie is just as wonderful in person as she is here on the SANs ...praying for a quick recovery for everyone involved but I know it takes a long time to get over the mental trauma of an accident. I still think about getting t-boned every time I pass the place my wreck happened on the way home from work a few years ago. I can only imagine how terrifying it was to see a semi coming at her. It's a good thing she was in a Cadillac as they are well made.
Sending lots of hugs :hug:

Robbie - hope you are feeling a mite better today! Take it slow & easy.

Hope Robbie's soreness and aches are seasing up today. Healing thoughts and prayers and pixie dust and mummy dust and whatever we can muster from the universe to speed the process sent your way!

Mac thank you so much for asking for prayer. We are really a family here and I hope you know how thankful we all are that you made it possible :grouphug:

I know lots of quotes here, but wanted to let you all know that I read them all and I'am so thankful for all your prayers, good thoughts and mummy dust coming my way. Thank you for the lovely uplifting emails.

I came up to desk top in the office today as I know Ipad is sketchy to post on lately.

I'am a bit sore, but know it all could have been worse for sure. Feel that God was watching over all.

Thank you for your prayers for the driver that was injured and his family. I will try to find out how he is doing tomorrow. I also want to try and find out who the lady was who came to help me before the ambulance got there.

Lots of prayers answered and so glad we serve a God who hears our prayers for sure.

My husband is doing great in Cardiac Rehab.

Praying for some sun to shine in the family for awhile.

Schumi hope your finger is doing better. Knife injuries can be bad.

Monyk hope vacation continues to be great.

Looking forward to more HHN information and celebrating HHN with friends at he happiest place on earth Universal Orlando.
 
Robo, so happy to see your post. Know all involved in that accident are thought of and prayers sent.

Pasta and chicken parm tonight. Rain and more rain. News on, so chilling and will make tea soon.

Robo, it will be October before ya know it, and I will be happy to say hello to you again. Gentle hugs until then.
 
So good to hear from you Robbie...glad you're doing okay and continued prayers for all involved :grouphug:

Not a Casablanca fan either ...love Star Wars and Spongebob too.

Binge watching FTWD in preparation for the mid season finale with the remaining wine from our lasagna dinner. The kids are out playing bingo and going to Red Lobster afterwards...hope they bring back the lobster pizza I requested.

Enjoy your night everyone :goodvibes
 
Hello Homies! Unfortunately the weekend is usually internet free with a few dips into the data plan or somebody else's WiFi...I missed a lot while at the lake house and it is what is is.

Oh Robbie! I watched the news report! Prayers for you and everyone involved. How scary...

Charade, If you grew up in my hometown I bet we would have had oodles in common and been best friends. Well except for the part where you would have had to have been born several decades before your were.

Robbie...Oh My...my weekend hiatus kind of caught me off guard. You're back! You are okay! I am so glad...

Well, I cancelled my entire fall 2018 trip to Orlando. Well, except...Portofino let me re-book for a year later applying the same deposit. I had to settle for a two queen room instead of the King that I previously booked because I decided that having back surgery magically upgrades me to club level. Well really it is me deciding that waiting another year is worth an upgrade. I already put the money in the vacation fund. So...who has stayed club level at Portofino??? I have checked and my seasonal passes will still be good for 2019.

I cancelled all the Disney stuff too but they couldn't do any future reservation stuff because...It is four days to early to make a Room Only Reservation at a WDW resort. Whatever
 
I have never did club, but the Portofino is the favorite of the three for us. Will be staying there in August.

And yay for 2019 plans Agavegirl.
 
Welcome back Robo!!

Charade, If you grew up in my hometown I bet we would have had oodles in common and been best friends. Well except for the part where you would have had to have been born several decades before your were.
Huh? How old do you think I am?

B got some happy news tonight. One of her friends was going to be moving away (oddly enough to the Orlando area which is where she is originally from)but her mom was just hired for her dream job here so they are going to be staying. B is happy that her friend is staying and I’m sure the friend is happy not to be changing schools for her senior year.
 
Welcome back Robo!!

Huh? How old do you think I am?
I think you misunderstood...My kids are all grown and I am the old one. Your story sounds so much like mine back in the day...Charade...I am 61. Born in 1956. Some of my kids are over 40. My point was, you remind me of myself in my old home town raising my 4 munchkins. I had your attitude, fortitude, and aptitude my dear. I swear we would have been those moms who got their kids off on the bus and gave each other a high five. Just Sayin....
