Something About Nothing ... #12

Good Morning, all. 64 and Sunny-ish, here, in Mid-Ten...high to reach about 77. The hurricane's weather finally reached us on Thursday and dump a bunch of rain, had lots of flash flooding and small tornadoes...but the waters receded quickly because the ground was not saturated. That sat on us through yesterday afternoon and then just constant light rain through last night.

Thought last night's game might be postponed, but we played as scheduled. The school we played has only recently started building the field they are playing at and they have no parking lot, yet, so it was a big mud pit. Probably the worst timing for having to play them, but we borrowed my oldest son's Explorer that has 4WD. But, as luck would have it, we got good parking in a grassy area near the road. Still, the wife had to go purchase some mud boots for us, which were awesome.

The youngest continued to start (they think the starter might be back next week, from injury). This was one we were expected to win and we did, 28-0. They played us in a tight game, last year, but they did not even get a first down, last night, and had about -30 yards total. After we had our starting quarterback go down in the first game (he actually is finished playing football, for good...multiple concussions), we had 2 QBs join the team, this week. So, we had 4 different QBs play last night...that was odd...but effective.

Chuckers, yeah, those antibiotics can make you very sensitive to the sun...stay frosty and don't let a little agony hold you back. Seriously, I hope you feel great in 8 days and go on to have a blast.

Schumi, nothing wrong with practice packing...as long as the suit cases are there. I was once told if you want to have the best possible time, pack your suit cases...then, put all the money you plan to spend on top of the clothes (in the suit case)...now, remove half of the clothes and put in twice as much money, and you're all set.

Lol........sounds like quite the plan! I'm dreading packing this year as I have 26 nights altogether........not easy! I'm sure Tom is convinced he really will get a grocery bags for his stuff........glad you didn't sink in the mud and found a half decent space to park........

Charade I swapped to Smugmug after the disgrace that was PB.

No way was I paying them $400 a year when they were awful anyway. Smugmug is fabulous. So easy to use and only $57 a year.

I did look at a couple of free sites, but the consensus seems to be free third party hosting may be a thing of the past soon, so rather than go through all that carry on again I decided to pay an already up and running site with a decent track record. . A poster on the dis klmall told me about it and I've been delighted with it since I joined.

They actually contacted me to ask if they could help with anything. And they reply to emails and questions.

Imgur seems to be good too.

She's braver than me. Came across a school of them when snorkling once, almost died of fright. What was really unnerving was i knew something big was coming towards me. Tons of little white fish first, so many of them they literally moved me backwards. Behind them a big dark shape, i thought for sure a huge shark since in the caribbean but merely tarpon that I'm told are harmless but I'm not so sure lol.

We got chased by a 5 foot barracuda while snorkeling in Key West. That was frightening.

 

[schumigirl]

Very quiet Saturday night here.........sat with dh both on our devices looking at menus for NY and Orlando.......we know how to live the high life!

Having pink Gin though........despite detesting Gin we do like this flavour......doesn't take like Gin at all........very strawberry flavoured........lush!!

Scary!

 

[Charade67]

Close Encounters was really good. My teenage daughter even liked it. I still can't believe it has been 40 years.
Now I'm at home listening to my husband yell at the TV. (college football)

 

[macraven]

40 years ago you probably were in diapers



Chuckers
antibiotics helping yet?
Hope so!

 

[Charade67]

40 years ago you probably were in diapers

Not quite. I was 9 years old.

 

[Chuckers]

It's only been one day on the antibiotics and they have two areas in my tooth to work on... I think one has cleared up.. but the one that's sensitive to temps is still reminding me it's there...

I was going to go to 6 Flags tomorrow, but I decided not to for 2 reasons 1) I'm tired and 2) I don't want ANYTHING to happen that might make me not happy on my vacation.. i.e. any back problems or anything of that nature.. so I am basically going to live in a plastic bubble until I leave in 7+ DAYS!!!!

Thank you everyone for the well wishes!

Rainy Saturday night.

Hope tooth issues gone while on vacation Chuckers. Safe travels.

That would have been scary to me too Squirlz. Lucky, all the snorkeling we did, did not see any of them. Small shark, but it was not interested in us.

Senior high football was last night. Good homecoming game.

Just chilling, as I won't be a night owl. News then bed is calling.

Night all homies.

 

[macraven]

Well, looks like the homies are calling it a night now


Will leave the light on as don't want anyone to stumble in and break their foot in the dark

 

[Lynne G]

Hehe, older one told me it was time for bed. Yeah, the college kid. Guess that cup of coffee was not a good thing to drink earlier this evening. Hey, it was cool in the house. Lights still on Mac. Thanks

[schumigirl]

Yep, it`s Sunday again.........although every day is kinda blending into one now.......always have to think what day is it when I wake up......

DS keeps us right though......

Italian Grand Prix today on tv..........then BBQ chicken for dinner with sweet potato wedges and salad for dinner. Lazy day ahead.

Bit of last minute shopping tomorrow for DH......schools are back tomorrow so everywhere should be a bit quieter than it has been.......

Have a great Sunday.

 

[Lynne G]

Afternoon Schumi. Little one goes back to school on Tuesday. Yep, the roads are almost done being repaved around town, schools are looking busy, so yes, while maybe quiet in stores, more traffic, that adds about 10 minutes more to commute both ways.

Still pretty damp outside. More rain, but nice and bright start. Cool, high 50's start.

Birthday celebrations today. So looking forward to seeing my newest great niece. She is two months old. She looks like the sister of her 2 year old brother. Both are cuties. The pool is still 80 degrees, so I am sure some will be swimming today. Not having to cook dinner is a great way to celebrate.

Time to brew the tea. Hehe, bet you thought beer.

Good Sunday morning everyone



Monykalyn sorry to hear you had to find another home for your Lil big roo

Tink hope you were able to enjoy your 2 days off after a long stretch of days working. You deserve to have a great vacation.

Chuckers sorry to hear about the tooth. Take your antibiotics and make sure to eat some yogurt to help keep your intestinal flora in your tummy happy while on the antibiotics. You will be at Universal soon meeting Tink and some other homies from the Dis and having a great time.


Buckeev have been watching the news about the flooding in Texas. My heart and prayers have been going out to all those affected by the disaster, but especially you and your family as you are our Sans family member It is heart wrenching to watch the loss to so many. I hope your cousin and Gage are doing ok with the new living arrangement.

Wagman67 congratulations to your son on their game win. Grandson plays football. I will have to admit I cringe a little watching those games. Football is a rough sport. I guess I been labeled a OPG (overprotective Grandmother). Guess that's ok. I was a OPM too

Marciemi sending prayers your way for your mom and her recovery from surgery. I hope you are enjoying your time with your son before he leaves on his deployment. Enjoy your first MNSSHP. I did it last year with my little sis for her birthday. It was sold out the day we went. Was very hot and there was wall to wall people. Hope yours is cooler and fun.

Keisha did you go see Alice Cooper? Hope your tooth situation with Dr Death was not to bad.

Lynne looks like you and your daughter had a good time in KW.

Schumi so nice to hear you enjoyed your celebrations in Scotland with family. Sorry to hear of your mums broken foot. She sounds like a real trooper. Hope she heals quickly. So she can be up and about like she is used to.

You and Tom have just a few more sleeps as you say before you leave on your vacation. Being gone for 26 days means a little more packing to do. Might have to get more luggage so Tom is not stuck with the grocery sack....LOL...

Charade67 welcome to the Sans.

Mac hope you are doing better and using the minion blaster to muster the troops for any needs you have at home and of course to rile up the kitties.



Lynne, Mac and Keisha
27 days, 14 hours, 45 minutes, 5 seconds to vacation lift off

 

[Chuckers]

A week from today, at this time... I should be landing in MCO!!!

 

[macraven]

I saw the camel and thought it was Wednesday

 

[wagman67]

So, Chuckers, I know you can appreciate this, along with others:

I walked into my new boss's office Friday, just as it was time to leave and said, "Hey, I know this is short notice, but do you think I can have off, Monday?"

He, still in the accommodating stages of being the new boss, grabs his planner and flips to Monday's date, and says, "Do you need the whole day, or just part of it?"

I said, "Well, I just figured with it being a Holiday and everyone is off..."...it was about then, he realized I was messing with him. The look said I was pushing it, so I got out of there before he took my holiday from me.

Happy Labor Day to all my American compadres...the rest of you can suc...er'...succeed at having a fine day, tomorrow!

 

[Monykalyn]

Happy weekend all!
Been catching up later at night on ipad and it sucks to quote and type so I haven't even been trying. But hope all is now well between record rain, teeth, AC and all else that tries to interfere with a happy time.
My daughter went to Food and Wine this am-told her if she got me the special lanyard/$200 GC she can have $50 of it (I paid obviously). I just want to hit the festival running and not wait in line when we finally get there.
Woohoo! to countdowns getting closer! Chuckers it must seem so close now!

Binge watching TWD on deck. Quite nice out although warmer/humid than it has been. Not ready to let summer go LOL!
I am pretty computer illiterate or I'd figure out how to attach a picture of the kid at epcot today. File is always to big and no idea how to resize...
