Something About Nothing ... #12

[macraven]

Still holding out for a memorial day sale on SW. I could probably adjust my dates by a day or 2 if necessary. I have my priorities....must meet up with mac and Carole

how low was the memorial day sale last year?
i see $70 for sept/oct dates now with only one or two at $80 due to a mid day time flight.

have you ever used Groome?
i checked into it and it is about $40 for the shuttle to atlanta airport.
peeps on yelp have not been kind in their reviews of this company but none of them were injured with the transportation company.

i think it will be cheaper for me to shuttle to ATL than to drive and pay for parking.
saw the rates and they run $9 - $30 a day......

i'm getting tempted to fly instead of drive now.

My philosophy on Drs is to avoid them...it's to their advantage to keep you sick. I may die tomorrow from some undisclosed illness but I am blissfully unaware and I'm fine with it. I guess it comes from my mom who took me to the doctor for every little thing when I was a kid. I try to stay active and eat reasonably well.

I guess I'll just miss everyone going in October, my dates are 9/20 - 27...maybe next year

Waiting for TWD too Mac...is it Sunday yet?

I might be there. My birthday is 9/21. Not sure if my brothers pass expires before then or not.

Heading back to the beach this weekend. Best friend (and college roommate) is heading down for her spring break... She's a teacher. She comes every year and is usually the only time I see her. Might actually get to play in the sand this time. Leaving tomorrow after I get done teaching dance. Hopefully this time I won't have food poisoning on the way down....

So far I've packed 4 bottles of wine, some bread, crackers, and cheez its. That's all I really need right?

Moms house can't get done soon enough. Ive been doing the reservations and inventory alone for 2 months. Learned today it's going to be AT LEAST 6 more weeks. Probably more like 8...

not packing any chocolate???

I know where dad keeps it hidden. No need to pack any

 

[pcstang]

that is one city i really enjoyed.
beautiful everywhere!

It was beyond beautiful! Perfect weather, a couple of bourbon tours and great food! Had a great time and got a lot of business done too. Wow, learned a lot about the thoroughbreed horses and the industry. I was blown away and have a new appreciation for it. 6 days and I'm Orlando bound!

Wow sounds like a lot of fun!!! And Orlando in less than a week...........you get a wooooohooooooo........just cos it's you........



Late start today.......although I was up early and headed up to wholesale farm place.........back with one big moo all in bits.........and a few other bits and bobs........he gave me some ostrich fillets to try......not exactly local but close enough......we've had ostrich before and it's very lean, but will try it again.

Beautiful day here again.........still chilly but sunny.

Have a good one folks...........

And the sun is shining, not for long. Much cooler air and thunderstorms on the way. We'll be close to 80 tomorrow, then not quite 60 on Saturday. Also, 45 mph winds, so poor hair these next couple of days. Going to totally embarrass the teen, and wear my hat during her games. Also have to have the umbrellas on the ready too, though.

Aww, Tink, I'll miss ya too. Won't be there until the 2nd of October.

Pcstang, glad to hear you have a good time on your business trip. Wahooo for the darkside trip coming up! Pictures needed.

Ok Robo and Mac, time for your first cup of coffee. I'm almost finished my first cup of tea. It's going to be that kinda day.

And a funny for last:

Morning homies.

 

[Robo56]

Morning everyone having my cup of coffee .....It rained all night and it's wet this morning. Weather does not look good for next couple of days. Hubby, grandson and nephew supposed to be heading up to Tulsa tomorrow morning. I saw they had a tornado there yesterday. I was looking at weather for their trip and saw the news on it. Tornado season is starting off early this year.

Tinyd have some wine and chocolate for me.

Monykalyn lots of good information.....found out when I was working on my BSN that not many doctors receive enough education in med school on nutrition. You RD's are always much appreciated on the units. Bless you for all your time and effort in teaching diet changes for folks with diabetes, high cholesterol etc...

Mac and tink hope you get your flights at a good price.

Pctang....glad you liked Lexington. It is beautiful country. My husband and I use to go there a lot many years ago when we were competing in Fencing competitions. The medals would be wrapped around a beautiful bottle of Kentucky bourbon....Have a great time on your upcoming trip to Oralndo.

Lynne on my second cup. Have a good day.

Schumi and Lynne thanks for the morning minions.

Sending out good thoughts to the bluer family. Hope your mom is doing better each day.

Have a MD appt then grocery shopping. Have a great day everyone.

 

[Kivara]

Morning all! An early to monykalyn's youngest! (I have a memory like a sieve, so it's best I do things ASAP )

They are calling for rain (70%) throughout the afternoon here...I'm hoping we get hit hard & they postpone middle DS's track meet...got a touch of a virus & I don't want to sit in a breezy stadium on hard benches. Anyway, enough whining from me...Have a great day everyone!

 

[ky07]

Good morning homies

 

[Lynne G]

KY, good to hear from ya.

 

[keishashadow]

at the risk of a beat down on the dark sidealways said the MK was my happy place but have decided that this thread is right up there for being smile-inducing. between camels, minion porn and PSA announcements, how can you go wrong?

mac - not sure if i read what you said about APH rates correctly. Had mine booked mid January for upcoming early May visit. Noticed when checking for price drops they disappeared for a while but started seeing them again last few weeks. Always pays to keep checking i've found. I'm swamped, please shout out when they pop up for October dates.

have a deskful of uncompleted tax returns laughing at me, i swear they multiplied ala gremlins over last two weeks. may be just lurking until i put a dent in them.

andy - sorry you are going through this. Listen to your doctors and take care of yourself. Good idea to not go cold turkey on all life-style changes at once, slow & steady baby steps will get you there...good luck

 

[Lynne G]

Kivera, sending you our storms, so no track meet today. I always have a blanket and umbrella in the car. Blankets work best around me, and on those blessedly cold or scorching hot stadium seats. Yep, younger teen is into track and soccer this spring. Track meet on Saturday was long.

 

[Kivara]

Thanks Lynne! They are confusing too...seems like there's always 3-4 events happening at the same time all over. I lay out DS's neon green socks on track days, so I can spot him

 

[macraven]

Hello fellow homies !

And a good afternoon to all
Late start for me and of course got the coffee at the table next to me

So happy to see all my "kids" here today

Janet the AP rates for April and May were released early this week
I'm checking often now as April mid to later AP rate could be out to include October

Love all the minionion !

 

[macraven]

To stay with the morning talk, mr Mac did the weed/ feed and spraying for 3 hours yesterday
We have a large lot

Rain started early morning

Not good
Time will tell how much yard work will need repeating

TAKE ME WITH YOU! I'll be right next door at Cape San Blas. I'll meet you at starbucks with my bags packed and bells on... I'm very small. Don't take up much space and we can pay for gas with the business! No? well fine.

 

[Lynne G]

OK, where did the sun go?

That's what I told my DH several years ago, when I stopped doing our taxes, Keisha. Sent him to the CPA yesterday, taxes filed today. Hope your pile goes fast, and taxes done in quick order.

HeHe TinyD, I'll be waving to ya, as I fly over. Only drove once to Orlando, flown ever since.

Enjoy your day all homies, as I am now enjoying an overcast and very windy day.

Mac, hopefully the rain was just watering the flowers. Hope Mr. Mac does not have to do much more yard work. I still have yet to plant my new flowers. We'll be again below freezing 2 days from now. I may just plant them, and hope for the best.
