Something About Nothing ... #12

LOL @wagman67 sounds like our weathers forecasting here in SW MO-they do get the tornado part pretty darn close- if they say "you should be in a tornado safe space now" you'd better be pretty darn close to in it. But snow? Rain? Eh not so much. My geology major daughter (who looovves meteorology as well) say we live in a weird spot (my words- hers are much more technical ) that makes a lot of storms go around us. It's gray, rainy, cool again here-same as past several days.

We had a marvellous day in London! It was boiling hot.........around 75f..........hot

Boiling hot?? In Southern California that is nearly coat and glove weather! 75f and sunny is dream weather for me

Christmas Vacation is still my favorite Vacation movies... Aunt Bethany wrapped the cat....

LOVE Christmas Vacation! Must see every year with friends (rent out theater and have costume contest)

@Lynne G hear ya on pouring money - hoping DDs car makes it to Florida this fall.

Have fun with the littles Mac!

Big cup of coffee time!

Rent a whole theater? That sounds like fun! I bet you can recite the best lines

The mr is home today and we are starting spring cleaning. No, it's not my idea lol

I was reading about it and also saw it on tv up here in Wisconsin
It's 85 but 75 will feel the impact traffic


This is a sign from God for me to fly and not drive for my next trip to Orlando

When the big man talks, good idea to listen lol

Still scratching head how that particular freeway failed. We had a big, heavily travelled bridge in area that lost structural integrity last year. A large truck crashed and burned in an existing construction area where bridge was being painted. Acted as an accelerant, resulting in a perfect storm/huge fire. Would think they are engineered to withstand majority of circumstances Not exactly comforting to hear.

We had a tanker truck crash (and burn) into a bridge that was being renovated and expanded...toasted it and delayed the construction by several months. Major rerouting had to occur, because traffic could no longer cross...nearest crossing was 4 miles in either direction.

Ok same sort of thing we had, must be more common than i had thought

Pittsburgh known as city of bridges. Not a day i don't cross several when driving more than a few miles.

Bit disconcerting lol

I remeber when a ship hit the sunshine skyway bridge in the Tampa area. That bridge always seemed super high up and I was scared of it as a kid. The ship knocked a section of the bridge down and cars were plummeting over the edge. Yep, made me like the bridge even more...

3 times I have written out my long replies and the get message webpage reloaded

Frustrating with no coffee in me

Lynne, keep on planning
Mony we will get the bus together for the meet up when you rent out the theater

Nashville had a long delay with opening 75
Atlant is screwed for months with their rebuilding
Will continue this but sending now as who knows it it will disappear again

@wagman67 my inlaws live in mt Juliet. My wife and I went to a preds game two years ago when staying at the Omni. I am not a hockey fan but that was fun! We were one row from the glass, Lee greenwood sang after the second period as it happened to military appreciation day.

The site has been doing that to me for at least a week!

 

[macraven]

And my phone has gone from 100% down to 43% power

Just nuts.....

Website has been icky recently and glad to read I am not the only one that has I think happen to

Not that I'm glad you went thru it homie but that I am not the only one

 

[tink1957]

It's been bad for me too lately and a big data hog.

I only get on once a day now since it burns so much data.

 

[schumigirl]

Monyk........we are facing the North Sea.........75f in March is usually unheard of here........so, yep, for us it's boiling hot and in the city it feels even warmer.........even hotter today, but so breezy.......still, nice to see the sunshine........

I quite like European Vacation........better than the Vegas one which I thought was truly dire!!! We laugh at the European vacation when they leave the "German relatives" and the Germans wonder who they are..........always reminds us when one of my sisters and her family came to visit when Kyle was about 2 1/2.. they stayed for 3 nights and as we were waving them off Kyle innocently asked "who were those people".......lol........you had to have been there. Yep, Christmas Vacation is the best one.......watch it every year without fail!

Yep, I have had to rewrite a few posts recently........thought it was just me.........sometimes I can go back to page before one I'm posting on and all the writing is there.........odd.



Been helping DH do a corner of the garden today........just putting decorative stones in a bit that has become free..........had to go back for more stones as we needed a load more than we thought.........boring though.

But, did get builders sorted.......scaffolding going up 21st of this month, with work commencing 24th.......already will be glad when it's all over.........

Making meatballs, spicy tomato sauce and pasta and salad for dinner tonight..........

Weekend plans are do all the ironing I got dried today, unless I have a burst of energy and do it tonight ........and finish off putting white on downstairs bathroom walls.......ready for the colour next week........that's about it......not very exciting.........

Hope you're all having a more exciting weekend...........

I hate painting! Still have a few rooms left to do in the house. It's only taken us close to 5 years to knock out lol.
Driving those Mercedes sounds awesome! Meatballs and bacon and I'll be there! Christmas Vacation and the original are classics!

Lol.......this about the 5th time I've done this bathroom in a couple of years......I do enjoy painting......just not the big stuff like all the way up the staircases.....we have very high ceilings!! That's when we get the professionals in.......Tom does not do DIY very often........

Oh the cars were amazing!!! Our own 2 Mercedes are fabulous and very powerful, but these were just wow!!! I could have driven them all day......but you were limited to 3 times round the track with each car........loads of fun though!

Will set an extra chair pc..........


Can't believe how lovely our weather is again today.........I could get used to this!

PC, you are striking on a few of my good chords...parents lived in Mt. Juliet 20+ years and just sold so my father's wife could do travel nursing...that Omni is awesome...I am a veteran, so very appreciative of our military...oh, and Lee just happens to be the brother-in-law of my wedding's best man, and has actually baby sat for us, before...he is a pretty cool guy...he's about 25 years older than I am, but used to beat the crap out of me in racquetball (he doesn't beat me now, because I don't play any more..not sure if he does).

 

[pcstang]

Very cool! My inlaws live off of old Lebanon dirt road. They call it old dirty badtard lol! It is a little scary to drive at night. My FIL, dad, stepdad and grand fathers are all 20+ year military veterans. Thanks for your service. Sometimes I wish I would have taken that path instead owning a small business which seems to be nothing but a headache anymore. We will be in the area for Easter weekend.​

If you can go to a preds game on military appreciation night go. They repelled from the ceiling and all kinds of other cool stuff. We just happened to be walking by when the outside was getting setup. We had already done downtown for a few nights so we decided to check it out and see what was going on. Jumped on stubhub, grabbed the awesome tickets for $40 a piece and went to the game. It definitely wasn't planned but we had a fantastic time. I looked up our seats when we got home to see what they normally go for.
ETA: yes, the Omni was great and new. Attached to the country music hall of family was cool. I'm not a country music fan but the museum was very good. My aunt did travel nursing for a few years and loved it. She recently moved to mount Dora FL which is just north of Orlando. She loves it there and I get to see her a lot when we head to Orlando, which is where I grew up and still have family there.

That is funny Wags, my parents had a big covered porch and I sat with my dad watching some great storms. I still like watching a thunderstorm, though more inside now.

And speaking of rain. It is raining and more raining. At 40 degrees, it is a cool rain. My feet are wet just getting to and out of the car.

Military family here. Thankful that DH is just a disabled veteran. He came home, some did not. Broke my heart each time had he to tell a family bad news. Yeah, that was one of his jobs.

So I am thankful that DS's car was not as costly as I was secretly hoping I would not see. It did cost me more than I thought I got away with. DS needed gas in his car, and wanted to eat at a restaurant for lunch. Yeah, it has been a fun day off. Both kids are lucky they have a nice mom.

Now what to have for dinner. Leftover from lunch may be the winner. I just drank my rather large cup of free coffee. Not too hungry, but at least warmer. Light the oven time. Had to put a sweater on, house feels cool.

But yay! It is Friday, and no game tomorrow. A sleep in Saturday. Yeah, and I bet I will be the first one up.

So, all enjoy a lovely Friday night.
