Something About Nothing ... #12

[ky07]

Good afternoon homies.
Second mowing of the season and it was in the 80s yesterday here and decided to wear a sleeveless shirt and yes sunburn arms and neck lol

 

[Lynne G]

Ouch! KY, yep, even the April sun can burn ya. That's why I wear a hat and use suntan lotion at DD's soccer games. She laughs about my hat, but hey, I hate being burnt by the sun. Hope you find some relief. And we did mowing this week-end. Grass is growing like crazy. Spring has sprung at last.

I think this minion needs to remind my teens!

it all tends to come out in the open sooner, if not later. The later it was, the more annoyed I'd usually get lol

StL - at least you wore sleeveless shirt and don't have a two-armed trucker's tan lol. teasing my mr, he roto-tilled the garden this weekend and is sporting one. Was funnier when he did drive truck @ work and would have the left-armed tan.

andy - yes, the nails do suit you. Do you have any ink? nobody in our house does. told my kids unless they show up with a Heart with a knife/ "mom" on it, it won't float here. has worked thus far. would't hold them to it at ths points, but wanted to avoid them getting lame ones when young and regretting afterwards as most of their friends have now had coverups. If i were younger would likely go for it, love that show Inkmasters - some beautiful artistry.

marcie - have fun, give penny a noogie for me lol ah ok, wondered why i didn't see any construction re NBA @ DTD. wonder if it's going elsewhere?

BagO, congratulations on the new house. Yes, vacuuming can be exhausting! Just getting a new house set up is also a time eater. Wedding bells yet?

Marciem, hope all is well. Like to see pictures too. Can't wait to be there. Only months to go. Ugh.

Awww, DS just saw a hummingbird look at our sliding glass door. Oops, it's that time of year, we have to make our windows not look like a mirror. At first, he thought it was a large bug. But with green wings, our ruby throated ones are pretty easy to see it's a bird, not a bug.

Kfish, glad to hear little Lucas is growing like a weed. Chunky babies are so cute. Healthy is all that counts. Great time for pictures before he can say no. I'm sure Christopher is a ham. He's a cutie too.

And here's cute minion:

Aww, thanks Lynne. Not till October do the bells start ringing although it's now less than 6 months to go! Where does the time go!!!

That's amazing that you've got humming birds. I googled ruby throated humming bird and they are so cute!!!

It was lovely the day we were there.......very sunny but still cold. We had snow on Saturday there Rachel.......hailstones snow and thunder all in one day.......getting better now, just cold.

I said hoovering once......no one in America had a clue what I meant......now I always say vacuuming........

Congrats on moving into the house.........are we all invited to the housewarming......... It is a lot of work moving house........I love moving!!

Hailstones, snow AND thunder, that sounds like 3 seasons in one day!

Yea, all come over, including the ones from outside UK. We'll have a bbq in my new garden! (Never had a garden before hehe)

Neighbours seem really awesome round here compared to my previous place. First thing the neighbour said is, we don't have parties. Bless.

Well night night all.

 

[macraven]

Home now and I'll read back of what I'm missing here

Had a decent trip for half of it and glad to be back home

Home is where my cats are

 

[Lynne G]

Glad you made it home Mac. Kitties give you the stink eye or meow? Sorry you trip was not a fun half the time. Being sick on the road, not fun.

Picking up DD from track to go to soccer. We won't be eating dinner until late. Oh well. All should be hungry by then. Though I am assuming my DS will have already eaten. Food pit is a teen boy. LoL

Have a good evening homies.

[macraven]

Thanks Lynne
I'll feel a lot better tommorow after a full sleep tonight

Noro virus is not fun

Another lady on the tour went to the hospital as she had it too
They did not release her until noon Sunday
Went in midnight Thursday and missed the rest of the tour

Me, I never go to a hospital as I can't handle any iv's or injections

Did go a few years back when my appendix burst but only because I had no options

Need to ketchup on the sans tonight


I truly missed all my homies here!

 

[marciemi]

Hi from Marcie and Penny from the MK:

 

[Lynne G]

Great picture of you and Penny, Marcie. Looks like beautiful day in MK. Thanks for sharing.

@tinydancer09 ...Daughter No. 3- (23 y/o HP freak) - thought that was hilarious!

See. I'm not making up random things. I've never been able to look at cold misty days the same since I read the books....

tinyd - "I will never understand why they put the shutters in between the bathroom and rooms at Portofino.... Such a strange thing to me. I miss the old showers. Still very, very nice. Love the new decor. Just miss the old roomier showers." It's been a few years since we were shut out of suite upgrade there, can't visualize how they'd have shutters in their standard rooms. (hate how the beautiful carved ones @ RPH disappeared).

Let me provide you with a visual. I've just attached them as they're GINORMOUS when I put them in.


Home safe and sound.... barely. A 3.5 hour trip turned into a 6. Apparently there were 4 accidents that happened at the Gainesville Exits on I75. First was a truck carrying lumber that tipped over. Then a trunk jack knifed avoiding him... I'm not sure about the other three as there are no reports on them... It's just the rumor mill that there were more. The interstate was completely closed. We would have taken an alternate route but the smaller accidents happened in front of the closest exits before the accident. We found this all out via rest stop where everyone flooded. We hung out there until the interstate opened back up. As I was getting back into my town in GA there was a wreck that greeted us... and then a gas tanker that overturned to which they're scared is going to explode.

I'm not sure about you... but I'm pretty sure I wasn't supposed to come home from Orlando today!

 

[pcstang]

Gainesville exits are always a cluster! Notice there is almost never a problem in tally!?! Hmmm....

 

[RAPstar]

I ate too many tortillas at the Mexican place last night, so I'm eating the rest of the grilled chicken I ordered and luckily it re-heated well lol

 

[macraven]

TinyD I always bring up the site that shows I 75 accidents or why they are delayed

Coming home I 75 near me was shut down for hours for those heading north this afternoon
Backed up for miles

I was heading south on it so had no traffic tie ups

Yes! I'm always amazed when I finally make it through Gainesville exits without any mishaps.
I love I-10. It's a bit busier than it used to be, but it's my favorite by far. I've only been exit 203-pensacola and the i-75 merge to Jacksonville.. but that bit I'm a huge fan of. I LOATHE i75. I hate ATL traffic even more. Prefer i75 to FL way more than I75 from valdosta up.. UGH. We come to valdosta and then head over on 84 so I've never driven most of the tally exits other than 203 forward. Always wondered what it was like past 203 towards 75.

Glad traffic was good for you! I75 from the lumber truck down here was shut down on both sides for a while.Guess it just wasn't a good day on the interstate. Glad you kind of had fun on your trip

Oh and yes I found that site after I got home. Since I was driving I was relying on my trusty sidekick. She did a pretty good job. At the rest stop I was too busy listening to everyone and checking my e-mail. I do love this whole personal hotspot thing. Really helps in a pinch.

 

[Monykalyn]

Just glad we all survived the weekend and Monday LOL.
Got the DD grad announcements out...
Waiting for it to rain! of course when I want rain it all goes around us-will have to water garden tomorrow if it doesn't rain...
Think my brain is done for the day-not sure I even have enough energy left to veg in front of a TV (glad for DVR)

 

[macraven]

Hi monyk are you feeling better now?
Sure hope so

TinyD I like I 75
It's the only place where all can drive at 90 and not get pulled over for speeding
But I do not like the driving and traffic by Atlanta

Saw on the news about numerous accidents on I 75 today

Exit 203 to I75 is boring but normally clear and little traffic. I used to take Monroe exit to 84 west when I lived on the east side of town. 441 is a decent alternative if 75 is backed up.

Yeah that's what I was trying to get to... But I thought I was going to be able to take 382 to 331 and cut over but... Wrongo. And you know there's no exits before 382 for about 10 miles. I learned that today. Or remembered? I think they call that rest stop the Prairie. Anyways by the time I finished checking my email it was back open so I just muscled through it.

Last time I got stuck there I had to squeeze my truck through the hole in the median guard rails! Patience is not one of my virtues. Drove back down south to micanopy and hit 441. Made the mistake of coming home on a Sunday after thanksgiving once. The turnpike into 75 at that time was a disaster. Glad you made it home safely!
