Something About Nothing ... #12

[schumigirl]

Electronics are frustrating to me too!
My parents are in town from Orlando so they have been spoiling him and little dude who just had a birthday. Taking the crew to Universal in a couple of weeks for their big gift. 15 of us total will be there.

Sounds fabulous pc.........what better gift can you get!

You must win the award for guest with most visits out of all of us........lucky ducky! If we didn't have that 10 hour flight..........lol........I wish!

Schumi, I always tell about when my future wife first entered my life and she could not work my TV, because she did not even know which of the six to use. Flash forward a couple of years and I had to rewire everything to allow for a single remote she could use. That is my 'User Interface' story...my UI was the six remotes and a couple of wires making it happen in the back of the electronics. Her UI consisted of the single remote, but I had to route about 3 miles of cables to make it happen. Kind of the Apple vs PC thing, of the time...simple out front and complicated in back for Apple...complicated out front, but simple in the back for PC.


Schumi, I caught the first episode of Series 3 of Broadchurch the same way you got Person of Interest...sort of.

Mac, can't help with the iPhone...Android guy and family, here.

Lol........funny thing is one of my degrees is an engineering degree .......but show me a remote control and I'm lost! Do like your UI story though........we gave the first few series of Broadchurch a miss, but want to like this one as everyone raves about it..........

We're Android folk here too.........


Sunday again..........missed pc with the bacon this morning.........it was nice! Had brunch as we all slept late today, even our early riser son slept till 9......he was up before us........so, bacon, poached eggs and pancakes.......that should do till dinner tonight...........

Roast rib of beef today.........lush!

Have a great Sunday........

 

[schumigirl]

To young pc..........hope he has a fabulous day!

Hello hello Artic high. 14 degrees right now, brisk and. after 12 degrees a few hours ago. But, beautiful clear blue sky. Great way to spend a Sunday. Inside.

12 year old PC kid. Have a great time with your family at Universal.

Schumi, hope you are having a nice afternoon with your DS. Nice that he is at home. Always lush food for dinner. Not sure what is for dinner tonight. My kids are sleeping late. I will wake them around 9. Got to fill the gas tank, and grocery shop for the week. One kid has to come with me. Older one, so can pump, and carry bags.

It's Sunday and that means walking dead tonight !!

Oh and the eldest pc boy
Celebration


Lynne one of the blessings in life is having kids who will fill the gas tank and carry groceries when we need that job done


Back later homies

Stay warm!!!

Morning everyone . Up having my first mug of coffee . Wind is pretty hefty again today. Went to beach yesterday for a few. Surfer dudes had some nice waves to ride with the wind out of the ENE.


Happy Birthday to pcstang 12 year old little.

WOW sounds like a family party for sure 15 for Universal. Have a great time.

 

[Monykalyn]

@Realfoodfans that's a cool idea of adopting an anteater!!
Happy Birthday to @pcstang kiddos!
@schumigirl -my DH dislikes multiple remotes so we have a "universal" remote-problem is you need a chart worthy of navigating the stars to figure what button to push to activate whatever it is you want (tv, dvr, rewind, volume, netflix). And DS broke our 55" in the LR couple weeks ago (playing with cap gun from Silver Dollar City-really well constructed wooden barrel with metal parts) and slipped from his hand and cracked the screen)-replacement TV now requires a smart phone APP to run netflix, HULU etc!! arg! apparently the "smart" part of "smart tv" now needs smart phone app to run it!

Nice day at ballgame yesterday-college ball and minor league games are so fun! Nice to see my cousin again too-in grad school for athletic training (her gig as AT as grad assistant paying for school). Last time I saw her she was senior in High school!!

 

[schumigirl]

MonyK.........lol........that sounds like the Universal remote we "used" to have.........I absolutely refused to have anything TV or otherwise that needs an app to work it........far too complicated for no reason. I like simple. And nice you got to catch up with your cousin.......


Sending off forms to renew our passports tomorrow........our pictures are awful.......I look so sad, and Tom just looks angry......... but long as they do the job it'll be fine.........

Dinner in an hour or so........brunch is all well and good.......but I'm starving..........

Strawberry pavlova for dessert tonight.......but mini individual ones....if I made a big one.......we'd eat it all!! I adore meringue.........home made ones though.....all chewy inside. Lush!

Hope your Sunday is going well........

 

[macraven]

I still not have figured out our dish tv remote

But do know walking dead is 131 on the remote

 

[wagman67]

It's Sunday and that means walking dead tonight !!

Oh yeah...going to watch Logan in about 30 minutes, and TWD is on later.

Lynne one of the blessings in life is having kids who will fill the gas tank and carry groceries when we need that job done

That's odd...the only tank my oldest fills is his...with my money! Is that a blessing? You betcha it is...he is a great young man.

Pizza and movie night about to begin! Dh built a fire. I've cleaned all day and now looking forward to a cozy night.

Schumigirl--your meringues sound divine.

 

[macraven]

Ahem...
Do I hear an invite for the homies come for pizza ?

 

[quandrea]

Ahem...
Do I hear an invite for the homies come for pizza ?

Sounds good to me.

 

[kohlby]

Pcstang - Happy Birthday to him! I hope your trip is great too!

Mmmmmm. . . Maybe we can all have pizza and meringues! Again, I come on after a meal but y'all talk about food and I get hungry!


We had a great day at Universal yesterday. The crowd calendars said high but it was low when we arrived and moderate by the time we left around 4pm. We came about 9:30 and went on RRR twice, Mummy twice, and MIB twice all by 11:00. It was middle child's birthday trip so we were hoping it would go well - and it did! It's not her birthday for 10 more days but we figured crowds are going to get higher soon. We didn't do Fallon since she didn't want to wait in the line - which was only 30 minutes. My kids are way too spoiled when it comes to how long they'll wait in lines!

We went to Disney Springs today for lunch. Youngest had a Disney gift card he was hoping to use but didn't find anything he wanted. He won it at our neighborhood's family Bingo. I played Bunco Friday night, but lost, again. I haven't won since my first time playing in this neighborhood, but it was fun. The women of the neighborhood are planning an Epcot outing at the end of March so that should be fun. (And some people had free tickets to give out so I can go without activating my AP yet! Yay!) I'm still not use to being so close to Disney. It still sounds weird when they explain someone by what Disney princess she used to be.

Sending off forms to renew our passports tomorrow........our pictures are awful.......I look so sad, and Tom just looks angry......... but long as they do the job it'll be fine.........

So, does that mean you have to make the same face as your passport when going through customs?

 

[macraven]

 

[schumigirl]

Pizza and meringue sounds darn good to me........

Chuckers........there`s no way to make me look sad going through immigration........going home is different though.....then I look sad!!

Got all laundry washed, dried and ironed this morning........love to get that all done in one day......

Quiet day ahead though..........salmon for dinner tonight.......lunch will be whatever I hit first in the fridge......

And it`s Monday again.......

 

[schumigirl]

 

[Kivara]

PC - to him!


Kohlby- to her!

Must be a good birthday month for kiddos. Middle DS's bday was a few days ago (sadly he spent in home sick on the couch) Having his party this weekend, late, but at least he's feeling better.

Happy Monday to you all. I've got to go pack lunches and think of something for dinner.

 

[Lynne G]

Food, yeah, that Tastykake did not do the trick. Might be hunting for more food soon. Hot tea so far. We had a lovely winter night, 14 degrees overnight, then 25 degrees by 7am. But what a wonderful yellow sky. That should bump the temperature, as long as the clouds that are now arriving don't block the sun too much.

Since it's still not daylight saving time, that darn sun is driving fun. I'm so short, so my visor does not help. It now comes with a little piece to extend it wider, but I need it longer.

Kohlby, sounds like a great birthday trip, Happy Birthday to her.

Kivara, sorry to her kid was sick on birthday, but Happy Birthday to him too.

At least's Schumi's bad picture gets her ready for the bad picture that usually is on Universal's hotel express pass. Mine come out terrible every time.
Hey, both of them mean vacation is on the horizon. That gets a yay!

It's Monday, let's do this!

 

[Chuckers]

Chuckers........there`s no way to make me look sad going through immigration........going home is different though.....then I look sad!!

I tend to look more happily exhausted on the way home.
