Something About Nothing ... #12

[macraven]

Hello all!

I am back from an absence due to my surgery. I couldn't really type or focus or anything much. sitting was hard and typing while lying down??? Not exactly doable.

Here I am post surgery and doing well. Adhering to restrictions is only a little hard. Most things I can't do anyway. I walk without my walker around the house now. I still have little appetite but I can keep things down just fine. My medications make me a little "out of it' and I think I am hilarious. I probably sound like second grader and spell like a fourth grader (before I spell check everything.)...I will read here and try to make sense of everything through my medicated haze.

Big and lots of smiles from us to youse!

I'm happy you are able to let us know how you are.

That is amazing you don't need the walked inisde the house.
Do use it when you have to leave your house....


The only thing I enjoy about any surgery is the drugs taken during recovery.

Hope you have a nice buzz....

Homies are climbing in from the woodwork.......

trying to play catch up with all that have posted.

pattyw: yup, I was a teacher for the second part of my adult employment years.

Lynne: I can't imagine starting school after Labor Day.
That makes a longer summer for kids and I'm sure they like that

charade: I shop for notebooks, pens, mechanical pencils each summer when the school days specials happen.
So much cheaper..

Tink: Only 50 more days, I bet you can't wait!
Hope you can keep the same room at the motherland

Schumi: You are MIA

And to all the homies that I hope I have not over looked, enjoy the rest of your evening..

We are under a flood advisory. Yay.

Charade- sorry about that work “project”!! Bosses can be a pain hope you get all those school supplies!!that was always a stressful time!!

Thanks. It wouldn’t be so bad if her handwriting was better. We will probably end up going shopping he weekend before school starts.

Today I brought Olivia to find about her wisdom teeth extraction. She has to go in the hospital for it we found out due to her blood disorder. They said I can wait till there is a vacation .She probably will be out awhile from school!

Aw...what a terrible way to spend a vacation. Payers that her recovery time won’t be too bad. I was 26 when my wisdom teeth had to come out. I was always a little behind in the dental department.

The school district up north where I was started laptops in grade 3.
Computor classes started 1st grade

Our county is going to start assigning Chromebooks to freshmen this year. We are getting closer and closer to a paperless classroom.

Here I am post surgery and doing well.

Good to hear. Hope the recovery keeps going well.

In 2016, I did the Atlanta Six Flags and bought a season pass.

I have very fond memories of Six Flags over Georgia. I spent many summers there when I was young.

charade: I shop for notebooks, pens, mechanical pencils each summer when the school days specials happen.
So much cheaper..

I used to love the days when Staples would have their one cent specials. I think I may still have some pencils and spiral notebooks I bought years ago.

 

[Charade67]

Missed one.

Charade, yeah asked little one what she needs for school, so guess we will start shopping for that soon. All are having back to school sales. Lucky, no lap top or chrome book needed. She has a chrome book, but rather use her brother’s Apple laptop.

I’d much rather use an Apple too. B’s school does a lot with Google products, so the Chromebook was a logical choice. Also so much cheaper than a Mac.

Goodnight everyone.

The school would use the computors for learning colors, numbers, abc recognition.


When I was in grade school, cursive writing and penmanship was the thing that was stressed........lol

I didn’t take my first computer class until I was a junior in college!!! Did you take typing in high school? I was so proud when I could finally advance to the machines that didn’t have the letters marked on them. “The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog”

 

[pattyw]

Hi Bobbie!! Glad the boat trip was wonderful! You are a guardian angel and true blessing to Charlie! Eek- wisdom teeth! Both of mine went through it- thankfully it went pretty well. for Olivia!

Hi Agavegirl!! So nice to hear from you! Been sending and prayers your way!! and here's a very gentle!! Take it easy !!

Charade- hope the rains aren't as bad as predicted! We're getting a lot of rain, too! No floods, though!
Good night!

Mac- Kudos to you for molding many young people! I still have such fond memories of a lot of my teachers! They really did make a difference in my life!

Tgrgrl- I'm not a good typist. I have to look at the keys! I am fast on an adding machine and the computer number pad!


Nice having Kyle around the house (for a few days more)! The cats are so happy to have him home! He spoils them- even more than I do!

Have a great night everyone!!

Oh yea we had typing class as a filler

Hahahahah, I remember the quick brown fox....


Our high school was over crowded and only had two years of gym class.
We had a weird schedule and freshman year we started school at 9:30 and over at 3:45.
Junior year classes started at 7:30

I was so glad to be out of high school......
college was much better.

 

[RAPstar]

I should have taken a typing class in HS, but I somehow got into a desktop publishing class instead which I haven't really used since I took the class. I still don't know how to make a graph in Excel. But here I am with a job in data entry nonetheless.

 

[macraven]

Don't laugh but when our school started the typing class there were all manuals

You had to press down real hard to make the key work.


I absolutely hated that class as i had long fiingernails.
Every morning I wouid take my
h time to do my nails before I went to school
coucd not dare have the popular girls look down on me having stinky looking polish on my hands

No laughing here! I didn't even take typing in high school! (wish I did!) I did have beautiful nails even though I wasn't one of the popular girls! Now my fingernails are stubs!

I was supposed to be sleeping by now- not going to be happy at 6am!

 

[macraven]

Is pattyw happy?
It’s after 6 now


However today goes for you, stay happy

 

[macraven]

We have lots of rain predicted for today and tomorrow
Watching weather channel

They say our weather will be like early April

Dread driving in rain
Have errands to do next couple of days

Enjoy your week homies

Countdown has begun for some of you for trips

 

[Lynne G]

Joining the morning crew here.

Start thinking about food homies. Yep, another Tuesday has arrived, and closes out the month of July. For that, eat a taco, or two.

Agavegirl, very happy to hear you are healing, and all went well with the surgery. Sending lots of soft hugs, and mummy dust.

Bobbie, glad to hear you enjoyed the boat, and helping the kids. Always important to let kids know they are loved. Birthday celebrations are fun, at any age. How cute, a 1 year old.

Patty, hope all goes well today, and the stuff heading South is ready to go. Enjoy a cup of coffee or two, with your taco. LOL

Morning Mac, hope the cats or Mr. Mac did not wake you up. Hope you are enjoying some coffee too, and stay dry with all that rain.

RAPstar, your countdown is getting closer. I learned to type as a teen, but that doesn't mean I am good typist today. Though I rarely look at the keyboard, but sometimes, I have to correct, even when the computer thinks I don't need it. On my phone, I'm a single finger, so it always takes me longer. How the kids can type so fast with their thumbs, I still have not mastered.

Well, an overcast, and very muggy start this morning. Rained on and off throughout the night. Another summer day for us, later in the day chance of thunderstorms or downpours. Low 80's temps, feels like low 90's. Yeah, hot and humid.

And once again, the news reporter has said to keep your eyes open. Apparently, another in the City has lost his 7 foot red boa. Sigh, why do people that want such as a pet, seem to have it leave for others to find, like in someone's toilet? It's one thing to find a lost dog or cat, but snake. Sigh, will be looking under my car and in the bathroom for awhile.

With that, I need tea.

Shout out to Schumi, Robo, Tink, and all the other homies. Wake up, there's tacos today.

Good morning

Be careful driving in the rain mac...hope your errands go well. I'm not looking forward to driving back and forth to work this week with all the heavy rain predicted.

Time for a big cup of coffee so I'm awake enough to post.

 

[macraven]

Stay safe driving Tink

I think you will get the rain we will

Going to be a long two days of storms


And then the humidity will return and be summer heat again

 

[pattyw]

Good morning Mac, Lynne, Tink and all the other peeps!!
Well I slept in past 6 but still tired!! Much coffee!!

Everyone drive safe in the rain!

Have a good day!!

 

[Tgrgrl]

Morning! Waiting for my coffee to finish brewing & the girls are on the lanai still trying to make friends with Marshmallow & crew. We actually got her to come into the house briefly last night for some treats. Baby, baby steps.

I think it’s supposed to rain. Honestly I don’t know for sure because I just don’t even bother with the summertime forecast here anymore. Hot-yes, humid-check, chance of thunderstorms-got it. As long as there isn’t a tropical something brewing, I’m good. And I always have an umbrella in my car but do you think I ever actually use it??

We cheated & had tacos last night. One of the 5 things my kids will actually eat. A new Chik Fil A is opening here next month(Hallelujah!!!) and that will expand our culinary horizons a bit more.

Happy day everyone, drive safely

 

[macraven]

Tacos are good anytime

When most peeps don’t know what they want to eat out, they figure hamburger

Me, Taco Bell

 

[macraven]

Tgrgrl, my boys went through stages of wanting to eat only hamburgers, hot dogs or pizza

I would cave as it was a simple thing to make

Once they were in grade school, they ventured out and ate what I fixed

Be happy they have a select diet as when they hit pre teen or teen years, they may decide they love sushi

Buying sushi for 4 boys is not cheap

 

[macraven]

Good morning Mac, Lynne, Tink and all the other peeps!!
Well I slept in past 6 but still tired!! Much coffee!!

Everyone drive safe in the rain!

Have a good day!!

Glad you made it to work and weren’t red tagged

Someday this job thing will be in the past and your time will be your own

And you can become a night owl and join the club
