Something About Nothing ... #12

[macraven]

Love the Rocky Horror Picture Show.

Where I used to live, that movie would be shown and all in the audience that came to see it, would dress as one of the characters.

And all were very verbal......

If you ever are near a city that still does the Saturday interaction with RHPS, you'll know what i'm talking about.


I really miss that HHN no longer has the RHPS ......

 

[pattyw]

Patty - I got one of the 2 items I was looking for. I have a feeling I won’t be able to find the second one. I have never seen Rocky Horror either. I have no interest in seeing it.

Good you found one item!

Yep, when it comes to movies, I guess I'm just a comedy and love story person! I'm still not sure why I like HHN ? I think it's all about being with family and friends and having fun! The horror is secondary for me! I have no idea what I'm looking at in the houses!

Love the Rocky Horror Picture Show.

Maybe one of these days, I'll see it!

 

[macraven]

RHPS is nothing like you have seen before.....

But watch the movie first in case so you will know if you like that type of entertainment.

 

[pattyw]

Mac- Joe liked it and the music -me, I'm a Barry Manilow/Air Supply girl!

 

[keishashadow]

DVC party sounds fun!!! Glad you got it..........

Dentist without a licence??? Scary thought..........yep, we have 13 sleeps till overnight at airport.......that’s when our vacation begins..........it’s like a sneaky extra night........


Quiet on here tonight.........

Used some ghost chilli in a marinade tonight........ used slightly too much even for me........but,we ate it regardless........

Bought two dresses today......same store, same size, same dress except different colours.......one fits perfect, the other about three sizes too small.......labels must have got mixed up....so back to store tomorrow to exchange for correct size.

Funny seeing all the winter clothes in stores already......but......new winter boots are always welcome!!! Will have a look in October.......one of the best things about winter.

Watching Rocky Horror Picture Show.........Classic!!!

Sneaky extra night eh? Coinkydink, I am one hair away from coming down early on eve of 9/28 to attend the PH Q& A on 9/29, do HHN for a bit & drive down to WL afterwards. Hmmm

I just googled the “dentist”. She was originally in Dallas, GA then moved her “practice” to my hometown of Marietta.

Too close to home

Stay in and relax tonight! Did you get the items you need for B's photos?



Yay! Sounds great!!



I'm probably the only person that hasn't seen that movie! I guess I need to catch up on these movies!

Taking my car to the dealer tonight- needs an inspection, oil change, has a recall that they need to fix, and a squeak! I'm hoping Joe can describe it to them! I'm going to sound crazy if I tell them my car squeaks! and it probably won't for them! Guess we'll catch a quick dinner later.

This week I bought 2 new tires, oil change & back brakes plus inspection. Oh joy. Can’t complain first expense on car in five years i guess.

Love the Rocky Horror Picture Show.

we have done the time warp at HHN!!! Much missed. Still shown here, especially in college areas.

Mac- Joe liked it and the music -me, I'm a Barry Manilow/Air Supply girl!

Ive seen Barry in concert, ahem back in the day. Neil diamond too lol

 

[Charade67]

B mentioned that some of the girls in band were talking about buying ears for the upcoming Orlando trip. I’m thinking of surprising her with these.

I can get them made with a red bow (her school colors are red and black) and the clarinet.

 

[macraven]

I didn't realize that was a clarinet in the bow portion until you said that.

Go ahead and get it for her.
Her friends will wish they had one too

Barry is amazing in concert- even today! I dragged Joe a few years ago, and he loved the concert!

Love these!

 

[Charade67]

When she mentioned ears I went to Etsy and searched for clarinet mouse ears. The price is very reasonable too.

 

[Lynne G]

So cute ears, Charade. She should be happy to wear them.

Wonderful day at Discovery Cove.


Do not bother with the sofas. Our short bodies did not fit, no shade, and next to the public chairs, with no service. Would never rent one again, or recommend. Relaxing and fun day, with two minutes of rain in the morning and full sun all afternoon.

So what did we do after getting back from there? Head to the parks.

 

[Lynne G]

Last one for you HHN fans on our last night out of the Studios with a very humid walk back to our lovely room. Hello AC.

 

[macraven]

3 day weekend coming up

Used to love periods like that when I worked

Liked them even better when I was a student


People in my neighborhood are young families and have not a clue why we have the holiday called Labor Day

They just enjoy it as a school holiday

None of them had any idea what Labor Day was about
They had no background info of what each year this select day has store sales and no school for the kids let’s

And that makes me feel old
Younger generations have little knowledge of this holiday

 

[schumigirl]

Love RHPS!!! Amazing movie.........always worth a watch if you haven’t seen it........nothing bad about it.......

Patty, I’m a huge Barry fan too.......never seen him live though.........my music tastes are all over the place.....don’t limit myself to one type........love air supply, Chicago, Reo Speedwagon.......to Madonna (earlier stuff though)Michael Jackson, Queen.....to Kiss and Eminem!! And many more..........including musicals.......

Keisha.......very jealous of you seeing Neil Diamond..........I’d have loved to have seen him too!!! Oh do the extra night Janet!!! You know you want to....... Oh I remember Kyle being mortified first time he saw us do the Time Warp at HHN........lol.......he was around 14 and hadn’t seen us do it before........his face was a picture SO MUCH FUN!!!!

Mac.......I saw the show at HHN a couple of times and it was a real highlight of HHN.........stuff Bill and Ted bring back RHPS........ It is so much fun!!!! I told one of my friends years ago she should watch it.......turned her nose up at it........her husband took her to see a live version and she is almost as much of a fan as us HHN fans now!! Even I know what Labor Day is...........

Lynne, nice pictures........where did you eat the other night that I wouldn’t like...........?




So, this morning is taking dress back for correct size.......and got our contractor coming round to finalise measurements for everything we’ve picked for Kyle’s bathroom........only thing we will get ourselves is the tiles for the walls........he will do everything else........will be a big job for them! I’m glad we will miss the work and the mess too.......

Breakfast is toast and some more of the gorgeous marmalade.......might be dull to some, but it’s gorgeous.......

Time for tea..........

 

[schumigirl]

Have a great Friday everyone...…………………..

 

[pattyw]

Happy Friday all!

Lynne- great pictures! I'm enjoying them a lot!!

Mac- Labor Day has always been a bittersweet holiday for me. Not only did school start after Labor Day, but the weather starts getting cooler, it's darker earlier in the morning AND at night, and the threat of the long winter months is around the corner! But, it is one last weekend to enjoy all that is summer here!

Schumi- toast and marmalade sounds yummy! not dull at all!

Good morning to everyone just getting started this morning! Off from work today! Fridays are my day to do my own paperwork! and housework.

 

[tink1957]

Good morning

Let's do the time warp again love RHPS.

Enjoying the pics Lynne...keep them coming

We had quite an ordeal getting the fridge in the house and had to take the front door off the hinges. Then we discovered that some of the screws that attached the handles were missing so I have one handle attached but I like it so far. Trey is going to get the screws today so it should be all good. It will take some time to get used to all the digital stuff and I still can't figure out how to access the icemaker bin as it's closed off.

I finally hired someone to clear off all the overgrown stuff in my yard. I just decided to spray weed killer on most of it and start fresh as it was getting out of hand. Hope I don't regret it.

Mac, I actually have labor day off for once and free showtime this weekend...things are looking up

 

[Monykalyn]

Glad I had the longer day yesterday to be able to schedule myself off today! Major storms through again yesterday. Rain started pausing a bit in afternoon, but one of my hens (cuddle chicken) was soaked when I went to check on her. Not sure if she just decided the bugs were better in rain or the mean girls wouldn't let her in the nice dry run .
And I came home to the boy passed out sound asleep on couch-he'd gotten home 30 minutes earlier. Touched his head and it was burning. Yay me-sick kid to knock any and all plans out!. Home from school today. And dog is eating enough to have bad gas apparently.

RHPS-first experience in HS with an old downtown theater that showed it on weekends-complete with regulars dressing up and bringing props! Supposed to be 18 to see it...back when things weren't so strict (and I was 17...)

Love the ears charade!

Keep pics coming Lynne! DC looks so nice, maybe can work that into vacation next year.

Need to start watching some movies in prep for HHN. DD isn't sure if she has seen any of the Halloween movies (parenting fail?). We all love Stranger things, have seen a couple Purge movies. The first Halloween movie still scares the heck out of me. Think it is due to the perfectly timed music score?

Looks to be an unproductive day for me There are worse things LOL

Good morning SANS and Happy Friday

Just stopping by a moment to say hi and check in!! We may go to our local six flags park one day this weekend. It is the last time the water park is open. Brian will do some work around here. The only problem with going to the park is that they had to cut a small piece of my skin on my nose to check it! He told me to try and stay out of the sun as much as I can for a couple of days. I really want to go and enjoy the last weekend of summer. It is hard to block this area because I am not putting sunscreen on it right now. I don't like to wear my baseball hats to the parks my head gets sweaty and have to take it off for the rides. I was wondering if anybody has any suggestions?

I agree that it is bittersweet. We hate the winters and long days so I can feel a little depression sinking in... I might try a seasonal affected disorder lamp this year. I have heard great things about them. Anything is worth a try!!!

Tink - sorry about the fridge problem. It stinks when things can't go easy! I hope Trey can find the screw. It sounds like a nice fridge. We need a new one soon. Brian was just going to throw wee killer down after pulling some of our jungle. We have strays in the yard and I was nervous. He ended up using a blow torch to get the roots. We will see how the burning works.

Schumi breakfast sounds great! I can have toast and jelly any day!! I love it with a cup of tea or coffee.

Charade love those mickey ears with the instrument. I am not sure if mine would wear them now but I love them!!

Monykalyn sorry to hear about cuddle chicken. I hope she is dry and comfy now! Good the dog passed gas but bad for the smell. I hope he keeps on the mend

Patty nice that you can work from home today. It feels nice when you can get done what you need too.

Lynne love all the pics. Looks like an amazing trip.I am hoping to take Liv back there next summer for her graduation gift.

Mac I hear you about the kids today! I am not sure where things went wrong but would love to see some of those good old days back. Yes I understand about feeling older.

Yay! Enjoy!!

Touched his head and it was burning. Yay me-sick kid to knock any and all plans out!. Home from school today. And dog is eating enough to have bad gas apparently.

Sorry about DS! Hope he feels better soon! But I'm happy your dog is eating- even though he's gassy!

Supposed to be 18 to see it...back when things weren't so strict (and I was 17...)

You were a rebel, Monyk! Yep- good old days!

Looks to be an unproductive day for me There are worse things LOL

Kick back with DS, doggy, and chicks!

I might try a seasonal affected disorder lamp this year. I have heard great things about them. Anything is worth a try!!!

I have major S.A.D.!! I hadn't heard about lamps? Need something to help until we can move to the warm & sunny south!

Speaking of unproductive, I'm not getting any of my to do list done! I'm using the excuse- the cats are napping and looking too cute to start the vacuum!

Bandaid they sell clear waterproof ones. If he took big enough section where u have a divot should have Vaseline on it till it heals so scar doesn’t form. Id be more concerned about germ factor from water at park. Always told no open water or pools until completely healed. Watch that spot for at least next 6 months as it will get bad burn in sun & GOOD LUCK

Mac i feel you on how some parts of country don’t celebrate Labor Day or give it thany importance. Many gave their lives fighting for decent working conditions, a standard 40 hour work week, etc. That said, it’s a BIG holiday in my neck of the woods . Going the United Labor Celebration in county park on Sunday. A two day affair Sun & Mon to accommodate those who have to work Monday (my DH lol, no whining, it’s double time & a half . Good cheap fun. $3 for all you can ride wristband for kiddie rides. Tons of food trucks, bands all day. Petting zoo, ponies, small circus & huge flea market. Do it every year with family since kids were young

Monyk hope the sickie rebounds quickly
