Something About Nothing ... #12

Happy August all!

Lynne - they opened up the waitlist for Chew Tix. Signed up for any/all . Maybe 3rd time a charm for me this year!

I LOVE the chicken pictures!!! I want to come to your place and have a chicken sleep in my lap!!!

IDK even cute chickies have sharp claws. Most will likely have to google it, but I grew up hearing tales of the 'terrifying' Baba Yaga(Jaga) lol. Figure somebody was deep in their bottle of vodka if that's all they could dream up.

Thanks for the heads up Keisha. Wait listed for 2. Keep my fingers crossed for both of us.

It's getting hot outside, and no AC as we speak. Sigh. Was going to get fixed by today. Uh huh. Oh well. Lots of tea (iced) for me. It definitely feels like Monday.

HeHe, my phone said 87 degrees and 0 percent chance of rain. Oh yeah. I love these sunny days. 26 more days until the birthday trip arrives. Crack of dawn flight, but I refuse to drive at night down there. Around Orlando, yes, across the islands that all say no street lights. Um, not my idea of fun. So, that means some road stops before we arrive. I figure by dinner time is perfect. Here's hoping no one else wants to go the week-end we're arriving.

Love the count down Chuckers. And yes, how a nice bonus of cat loving housemates.

Monday. 5 days til we leave. Trying to slog through 3 days of work this week.
Yeah-chicks and claws-I have scratches all over. My bonus kid will be watching the animals while we are gone this upcoming week (she is staying to last minute to continue work. When we go other times I hire a college or HS kid who needs money.

 

[Lynne G]

Wow MonyK, 5 days. Time does fly. Well, your chickens can short flight. Yep, our neighbor chickens get neighbor's family to come take care of the chickens if they are both not home. Nice you can find kids that will watch yours when needed. Your days will pass fast. At least that I what I am telling myself. Car goes into shop for routine stuff on Friday. I figured that would be a good day to take off. Yep, 3 day week-end is already on my horizon.

How are people posting personal photos now that photobucket isn't working properly?

They pay the $400
For the year service

Smugmug is about $30 or 40 a year

And some have other ways to post pictures

 

[Robo56]

If you have the photos on your iPhone or iPad you can post your pictures for nothing.



Couldn't help it squirrel was cute

There are many picture hosting sites. Some are still free, but think that'll change soon.

I opted for Smugmug on recommendation. $57 a year, well worth it as it's a good site to navigate. PB was almost unusable last year or so with ads within ads and then more ads. Freezing up and being unable to post was just a nightmare.




Had the best day.

DH had a lovely day visiting his old workplace and saying goodbye to colleagues. He got some lovely gifts.

He was so surprised when he pulled into our drive and we were all stood among the balloons and banners.......was a lovely moment.

Drank so much champagne today........thought everyone would have left around 6ish, but as always with us no one ever wants to leave.........as with all celebrations ate and drank too much.......but fun!

Planned to sit up late, but think the bubbly is making me sleepy.........

Glad Tom had a nice send off and welcome to retirement bash, it sounds like a good time was had by all.

We went to see Atomic Blonde tonight, it was pretty good...80'S music, intense fight scenes and car chases.

I took a few vacation days this week in honor of having to mourn the passing of my youth tomorrow and hopefully I can get some things done around the house that I've been putting off

Countdown is getting closer now for all of us...only 43 days to go

Happy Birthday to a lovely lady........Vicki, have a great day

 

[Lynne G]

Tink. A great way to start this month. Nice to have a few days off to celebrate. Happy Birthday Vicki.


Quite a few Leo homies, Mac, yes we do. I can't remember either, but in my family there's a few. Though little one waited long enough, not a Leo. She acts like one sometimes. LOL

Schumi, what a nice way to celebrate Tom's retirement. Lovely send offs at home and work. Hope you're having a nice day with Tom home now.

Oh and countdown. 61 days, 8 weeks and 5 days, 1,464 hours, 87,840 minutes, 5,270,400 seconds.

and

It's Tuesday all! Time to eat tacos. Or an early thirsty day. 91 and in the 60's dew point. Means this afternoon will be nice and toasty. And, I think we may have AC. Thank goodness. As today, starts our next heat wave. The temperature and dew point will be pretty much static for the next 2 days. Hence, a heat wave.
