Something About Nothing ... #12

Of course there is, if you are a fan of the series!

Tink is a sweetie, it was an inadvertent slip, happens often. Likely, All on board here now get we aren't all able to watch hot shows in real time

Yeah, no worries...I meant I was literally about to watch the show, and I did not have to watch it right then...it put me off of watching it last night...I will eventually get around to it. The problem I have with FTWD...and now, to a lesser degree, TWD, is all of the angst-ridden characters that turn completely stupid...in every bad situation. I am not talking about the occasional 'Dang, I know that walker!' freeze-up moments, I am talking about how they will stare mindlessly for half an episode...in slow motion...until somebody saves their behind...repeatedly. I am exaggerating a bit for effect, but that is what it seems like all too often these days.

Lol, not quite the word I'd use

Everybody loves an underdog story, especially when up against the reigning champs...well, except when they happen to be your home team lol

I shall put a smile on it and say here we go, back to where it all began. In my heart I'm thinking more along the line of you snooze, you lose

Well, we'll see how this all plays out...I hope it is in the Preds favor and I know you hope it is in the Pens favor. I will be at Bridgestone, again, Thursday, cheering the Preds on from afar. It has been an awesome series.

I was talking with a co-worker, yesterday, that is a Blackhawks fan...she has not been happy with Predators fans and was really slamming them (while standing in the middle of a bunch of us)...we politely reminded her that we are a fun loving fan base...she wasn't buying it and then double-down and said we were said fans and could not even fill up our arena. I asked what she was talking about and she said she had been to 'several' games this year and the place was half empty every time. I finally had enough and called her out by reminding her that the Preds sold out every game (Pre-season, regular season and post season) and the place has been packed to the rafters every game. She said "well, they might be buying tickets, but they aren't showing up for the games". I finally just had to shake my head and walk away. Bitter much? The Pens fans that I have seen being interviewed have had nothing but good things to say about the Preds fan base...well, at least the ones in Nashville.

Years ago my uncle that swore that the local chinese place served cats & ducks they found easily, being located down near the river. Turns out he wasn't wrong, they quickly closed it down.

At this point, it will be the team that wants it the most. Right now momentum is swinging your way. all year we've never known which pens team will show up, playing so inconsistently.

Frustrating even to seasoned Pittsburgh fans! We're a mellow lot, hope the team wins but know there's always next year...well, expect for baseball lol.

Will say most of us still giggling over the Kidmans' faux pas of wearing jerseys with their names on the back. It's just not done in the right circles lol. I'm sure they have been educated by now

Nashville as an expansion team has every right to be over-the-top excited, heck it was touch & go for awhile for the team there. Nice to see the franchise stabilize and build it's fan base. It benefits the entire league.

A good team helps to bring a diverse city together. I have a FB friend from South America who moved to NYC, then was reluctantly transferred to Nashville. despite knowing squat re hockey she enjoys hanging out in the sports bars/watching the games and says she was surprised how much she likes the city.

I hate when people get so wound up in sports rivalries they forget the higher purpose.

HeHe, Keisha, I actually like tacos, I will make some, including my own salsa, and have been know to hit the Bell, but only when wanting cheap too. Baja we liked better, but all the ones near us closed down. Eeew, I would definitely not like to eat cat, and not really a duck either. Only birds I like to eat are chickens and turkeys. Glad to hear the place got closed down quick. Korean places have been known to serve dog. Um, eeew to that too. I could never. When my DH was stationed in Korea, one of his jobs was to make sure the commander's dog didn't go missing. LOL Well, enjoy some chips and dip than. Hope your day is less rainy than mine. It's raining again. Just going to be one of those days. Hope that means no soccer practice tonight. I enjoy evenings in my sweat clothes. Made meatballs last night, I think some are left over, so meatball sandwiches may be on the dinner menu tonight.

I agree with you on all points.

 

[Chuckers]

No, I don't think I've even seen them for sale where I live.

They are SOOOOO good... a little on the sweet side, but damn.. I could eat a full box of them.

 

[Chuckers]

I love taco meat. I'll eat it in a bowl with cheese and sour cream - and a little hot sauce if I am feeling 'spicy'. I will make tacos and then use the left over taco meat in an omelet the next night.

Hmm...interesting...sounds good to me...some chunky salsa across the top, bam!!

Oh how I have missed my homies! Been catching up on the last 20 or so pages to see what's been going on. Dance recital for the girls was Sunday. woot woot! Our Tuesday's were INSANE this year. The girls had dance from 3 - 4 and then T-Ball practice from 6 - 7. I feel so much relief today!!

Oh yea - except for the fact that I am going to the motherland for 4TH OF JULY WEEK as a last minute trip!! Uggghhh - what have I done??

@macraven i felt the same way about posting on the other side and not here. LOL. It was like coming to town and not visiting family.

 

[Lynne G]

Hey GoN. So glad you stopped by. I hear ya on kid schedules. Soccer ends this month, then calm July, then soccer takes up in gusto in August. Yay! 4th of July trip. How nice is that! What a great time to visit the mouse.

YAY!! You are almost there.

I am so excited...and equal parts freaking out. My parents have been begging to take the girls for a while and surprised us with mililtary 4 day park hoppers. YIPPEE! I am just out of touch on the planning side with fast pass+ AND this is last minute. We have ressies at SOG 7/5 - 7/9 and are nailing down 7/1 - 7/5. I only want to use 2 days of tickets so we can relax and enjoy the resort - then go again in the fall / winter for a weekend.

I made a reservation last night for a 2-bedroom at Boulder Ridge (old WLV), but egats!! It's so expensive. I have analysis paralysis on where to stay. Two rooms at Beach Club / Club level for around the same price, or I can rent points at Saratoga Springs for a little cheaper And then I found a post here reminding me of the military rate at Uni's onsite resorts....I am so lucky to have this problem! How early can I start drinking my prosecco?

 

[Lynne G]

It is 5 o'clock somewhere GoN. Good problem you have. So nice to take advantage of the military discounts.

 

[macraven]

Welcome back home !!!
Was wondering when you would check in

I always love when the homies come back here and we can play ketchup!

Your vacation will be great
Have a drink for me when you are there

 

[ky07]

Good evening homies
Hope everyone is well but as for me not so good cause DW is still having episodes of being disoriented but at the same time she is doing well enough not to be hospitalized agian and seems like the medication she was put on isn't helping her anymore.
So it looks like I may have to cancel our trip to the dark side

Oh no! @ky07 sending prayers and good vibes. I hope mrs ky feels better soon!

 

[macraven]

StL
Hang in there

A vacation can be planned anytime
I know it will be disappointing to cancel the trip you have planned months out

But your wife comes first and before a trip to Orlando
Don't be sad if you do reschedule the trip

Talk to her doctor and ask for advice on trying a different medication

Many times the first meds a person starts on for depression is changed to one that better suits a person

Have a family member that changed meds five times before being on one that did help him out

Sending hugs, and prayers for all of youse

 

[macraven]

Been out of it today and need to read back to see who and what I have missed

Been thinking of all the homies here

Counted 9 noses so far

Today is Wednesday and schumi should be home today

Hope she tells us all the fun food she ate on her trip

Oh that timtam is it like a chocolate covered graham cracker?
Not familiar with it and pic made me think of what does that chocolate cover

 

[macraven]

No smell of bacon yet so that means carole will not have us all over to her place for breakfast today
