Something About Nothing ... #12

[schumigirl]

Charade it would be worth $300 for me not to share a room with a snorer......my worst nightmare and why I never do share....even with close friends.....actually I think we all agree on that as no one ever suggests sharing a room...….maybe that's why we`ve all been friends for so long!!!

Patty.....it was a nice drink....I`ve avoided tonic water for years as I thought I didn't like it.....I think I may have tasted someone`s gin and tonic many years ago...and as I hate original flavoured gin it may have put me off....but yes, it`s lovely with the elderflower flavour added...….I`d rather have wine if I`m honest....lol.....but doing well with Dry January...…. Hope your weather isn't as bad although I suspect it might be bad for a while for you up there.......


Had a kind of busy day...….well, it all only involved sitting on my derriere ......bought mum her travel insurance for our New York trip this June, no bargains when she`s 83!!!! They know how to charge for that......got our hotel in Long Island booked, same one her and I stayed in before on a previous visit, and then got our overnight hotel here booked too...…..I feel I have achieved something positive today.

Not done much else apart form some trip report which again only involved sitting on my bottom.

I really do need to move.……...

 

[Charade67]

Had a nice drive out to Roanoke this morning. It's an hour drive each way, but not so bad when it's sunny and clear. I didn't find much that I though B would like. It was so much easier when she was little, but now she really doesn't care to have Girl Scout branded merchandise. I ended up spending some of her money on cookies.
I'm now waiting for dh to get home so I can help him fix the downstairs toilet. I guess he didn't learn from his last venture into home improvement. Now he thinks he's a plumber.

I think I am becoming a grump in my old age. I was eating lunch in the food court at the mall today. There was a woman there who had 3 small kids with her. The kids were running around, shouting, and banging on one of the columns. The column has some sort of metal around it which made a horrible sound when the kids were hitting it. I don't think the woman ever looked up from her phone the entire time I was there. Occasionally she would shout out one of the kids names, but never told them to stop running around or to be quieter. Maybe I expect too much, but my mother never allowed me to act like that in public.

 

[Lynne G]

Yeah, I hate that, Charade. We witnessed this in the ship's dining room as well. I never let my kids run around like that. If they did not sit nicely, we took them out of the restaurant. We also had toys and snacks to keep them busy while waiting. I was a Girl Scout, but little one never showed an interest in it. I don't think it's as popular here than it used to be. But I do see kids still selling cookies at the mall, and some of the grocery stores.

Sunny, but a biting wind. Feels even colder. Needed my hat, but was glad to have gloves.

 

[Charade67]

I was a Girl Scout, but little one never showed an interest in it.

We are just the opposite. I was never a Girl Scout.

 

[Charade67]

Well, it looks like we may need a new toilet.
Dh replaced the valves and lever, but it is still leaking. I guess we will need to contact a plumber on Monday.

 

[Sue M]

We put in new toilets when we did our last Reno. Got comfort height toilets. Best thing ever!

Both my girls were in Guiding, Canada version of scouts I think.

Don’t get me started on child behaviour in public, ugh. Letting your kids run wild in malls, restaurants, grocery stores like they’re in a playground is so annoying. And hotel halls! No, I don’t think it’s cute your little one is running and shrieking with excitement to go to the parks down the hall past my room! Guess I’m grumpy in my old age too lol.

 

[Sue M]

Dishwasher arrived right on time! Can’t wait to do my first load, lol. Yes Schumi it’s sad when we get excited about new appliances, lol.
But of course there were glitches, nothing seems simple anymore The bottom of dishwasher is totally enclosed and our water line was too high. Our old kitchenaid bottom was open so it wasn’t a problem. Installer had to break some tile under machine to lower hose valve. Not a big deal as no one will ever see the tile, under machine. Eventually he got it installed and it’s all good.

Pattyw stay safe. Winter storm and white out doesn’t sound good..

 

[Charade67]

I just went and looked up comfort height toilets. It looks like they are not much more expensive then regular toilets. Will have to give them some serious consideration.

Yay! New dishwasher. I would be much more excited if we were getting a dishwasher instead of a toilet.

 

[Lynne G]

Yep, we put in our toilets too. Not too hard to install. Hope you find the one you like, Charade.

Quiet night, and that is fine with me. They are talking 0 degrees, that is 0 F on Monday. Popsicles will be us. Seems that pocket of arctic air will put us in a really deep freeze. Thankfully, it will be a more seasonable 30’s the rest of the week.

We have some returns to do this weekend. 26 tomorrow, and close to 40 on Sunday. We will go Sunday.

Hoping to sleep in tomorrow. We will see, as DH went to bed around 8 this evening. That means I will get a noisy very early morning. I hope I can get back to sleep then. Sometimes I can, sometimes I am up with him. Eh, just means the tea pot may see more cups from it, as yeah I can feel like it will happen. That and a nice, long shower. Kids are good sleepers. They rarely hear us, or if so, go right back to sleep without a peep.

Have a nice evening all.

Glad to hear your new dishwasher is ready to be used, Sue.

 

[Sue M]

Charade you won’t be disappointed getting the comfort height. We got a Koehler 1 piece and it’s great. My husband was the one who wanted it. I wasn’t sure about it, but it looks nice and so much easier to get up from! I’m happy we got it.

Lynne, you must be happy you now have heat with those temps brrrr. Is the flood taken care of? We have been in the 40s. On the news hour they were showing cherry blossoms already blooming. Sheesh!

Schumi gin & tonic? Must have missed that post. My husband likes that in the summer. I’ve never been a fan of tonic. My grandma used to grow mint just for her gin & tonics, lol! Trader Joes has a fizzy drink with elderflower that’s yummy.
Where does your Aunt live on LI? My brother lives in Port Washington. I haven’t been there in ages, he flys down to Florida when I’m there to meet up, most of the time.

Pizza for dinner tonight. And going for sushi tomorrow after attending a Celebration of Life. Now that I have a dishwasher again, no dishes! Sheesh.

 

[keishashadow]

Hey all. Loooong couple of days. Finally got airfare booked for trip. Shout out to SueM for her recommendation since SWA & government shutdown left us high & dry. Think we got good if not great rates? Hard to tell when you’re not accustomed to paying for seat assignments & luggage lol.

DS plumbing issues quite serious, up to low mid 5 figures, gulp. Waiting to hear re insurance, etc. he is taking it very well, me not so much.

Oh Schumi, thanks for the morning laugh recounting your encounters with the vegan! Stay warm!

Lynne oh, that’s horrible about the trench. I hope heater people can get in, you’ve waited long enough with no heat!

Monykalyn congrats on your winnings and fixing garage door!

Mac BLT sounds good for dinner. I don’t always want a full meal at dinner. Sometimes we just have soup & grilled sandwiches open face. We may be getting a lot of bacon. Husband and friend have rigged up a smoker and are trying to smoke bacon. We had a sample of first effort today. Let’s say it needs a bit of work
Yay for getting in early at Doc office!

Bobbie. Poor kitty! Hope the dental work goes well. My dog had to have several teeth pulled. I see a lot of Dunkin when we go to Fla, but no Timmies!

Robo I haven’t been to Mall at Millenia yet! Always have gone to the outlet! I’ve tried the Chick Filla? Can’t remember name right! But we like the strips, waffle fries yum and the lemonade. So yummy. I wonder if we have Popeye Chicken here, name sounds familiar. But haven’t tried it. Here we have Nandos and KFC. We don’t like the KFC.
I’ll take some of that 74 weather! 43 here!

Keishashadow that’s awful about the water coming thru the ceiling. Yikes. That happened to a friend. In her condo, one day there was a huge leak from ceiling above. Lots of water damage to her unit. Turns out and elder lady lives above her and forgot to turn off her tap. My friend was put up at a hotel (by insurance co) while her condo was being repaired. 3 weeks. Hope insurance company deals with it swiftly.
Alaska! That’s all I fly, great customer service. Flights run pretty much on time, and if they change schedule it’s only by a few minutes. Very reliable. I have their credit card, it gives you one companion fare/yr and zero baggage fee.
They also have direct flights to Florida from Seattle. So I either make the 3 hr drive to SeaTac or I catch the puddle jumper from here, part of the Alaska Family.

They have to rip thru his LR ceiling to get into pipes. DH is going to try to save his ‘real’ wooden beams sigh. Plaster walls, good thing one of his best buds is a union dry wall guy. He should be able to replicate the fancy swirly texture.

That would be absolutely cool if you could find an orange dress with white polka dots for your daughter’s high school graduation!

A picture of her first graduation combined with her high school graduation would be something she would keep forever

You come up with great ideas !

Seriously, i’d Have never thought of that, cute idea...even if you do borrow it from Pinterest, etc. lol

Bobbie
How did the vet visit go?
Or are is it coming up soon ?

Both of my cats have had teeth extractions
One cat at age 2, had most of her teeth extracted last April
Kitty has a generic condition and her gums and teeth enamel are not good

She does have two teeth still and has no issues eating
But we only give her can food and she lives to eat

Our other cat had two canines removed but didn’t have to wear the cone like other cat did

Dental work for cats is like putting a kid through college.... lol



Hope all the homies are doing fine
and have sweet dreams tonight!

You are the cat whisper. I enjoyed my 9 hours with grandcats today

Here is a picture of the original dress. Please excuse the crude photo editing. I would love to be able to find something similar.

Do you sew or know a seamstress? Maybe etsy?

Good morning ...I get up every morning still even though I don't drive anyone any more. Liv can't get out of the house on time or without forgetting something. I still have to help her. It is rainy but warmer, so I will take it.

Last night Charlie worked and Liv was home studying. Had an easy dinner pasta with tuna. I am thinking meatloaf tonight with mashed cauliflower/potato and corn. Everyone is home tonight. It is rare that the teens have a day off together.

Last week our term 2 in the high schools closed. For the first time Charlie got straight A's. He was so happy as were we. It is so nice to see him on such a good path. He is making good choices, so fingers crossed it stays like that. Liv is stressing about her class ranking right now. She is in the top 4 and they are all close by like a tenth of a point. The problem is that if you take academic classes (art, computer, gym) your GPA actually goes down. I have never heard of that. She took a nice creative writing class last semester and a photography class this semester. She is really enjoying it but has to worry about a GPA drop. We are hoping it doesn't effect it to much. You would think they would find a way to have this not happen. I think it is better they want to take some type of class verses a study hall.


Sue and Charade ... add me to the group of sleeping issues. I have the same problem and it is so frustrating. I did have a home sleep study but it was inconclusive so I have to try another one at the facility if my insurance will pay for it.

Thank you everyone for the well wishes for . ..I will post an update when I have one!

Mac thanks asking about the kitty. Well I went on the website for the vet and they have one of those put the information in and we will call you for an appointment. I did but they didn't yet. This morning I will be calling them for an appointment. I am giving her wet food right now ( I just do dry in my house) she really seems good and enjoying it. I just want to make sure she is eating. If I don't hear from the dental vet I will call my vet. I am not happy with them right now and they don't do dental very well. I hope the specialist will call me. She is so good. I agree with dentistry and college. Your cat would fit in here, we live to eat too I am glad to hear your kitty does well. I am not sure how bad this is going to be yet!!

Lynne I hope you can post soon that you don't need a heater near you soon. I am glad that I am not the only one who has to do that in the morning. Oh I hear you on the midterms. Liv has her big final for her college class Tuesday and it is going to be a hard one. I hope little one does good on her mid terms. Our school system did away with mid terms.

Keisha I hope your DS gets somewhere quick with the insurance company. The insurance companies know how to act fast when it benefits them. I have had Korean food once and it is really good. The hot stone bowl recipe does sound really good. If you end up making it I would love to hear about it

Schumi Glad that you had a nice lunch despite "the Vegan" lady. Sounds like you handled her very well We did put grey tint paint in our house and I really enjoyed it. Several years ago I wanted to do different colors in each room, so now we get to repaint them for selling. I think we are going to go back to a grey tint paint. I think it does a lot to a room. I would love to do more grey in it but they tell you to keep it as white as possible. How nice to be planning a trip with your mum, to visit family. New York in June should be very nice. I hope you get a hotel you want.

Robo Thanks and your right. I am excited to see all the new possibilities. We have a few ideas of what we want or need. The teens will be with us for awhile and I have the cats, which I need a certain set up for. I guess we will have to prioritize amenities we want. The biggest thing is the location. I really want to make sure I get it right. I hope the weather turns out good for you and you have a nice time. I know you are going to rock that Gryffindor sweatshirt

Sue I hope the bacon smoker gets better...Last year Brian used our smoker on our grill for the first time. He read for hours all the best tips. He decided he would do my turkey I had. Now Turkey dinner is one of my favorite meals. It is one of those meals don't mess with. Well I let him have my turkey and he wrecked it. I have never seen a turkey so dark and taste like burnt wood. It was one of the saddest things I saw on my dinner table. He wants to try again but I told him, nope not with my turkey. Thanks for sharing about your dog's dental, I like to hear other people's stories.

Charade You are so much braver than me. I could not share a room with other moms. I can barely share a room anymore with my gang. I hope it all works out for you, school trips can be stressful. I love the idea of finding the same type of dress. that sounds like my Dunkin run every time!!!!

Patty Thanks and yes it is...I hope you are melting away up there

I hope this family has a great day, stay dry or get warm

Congrats to your kids, good work. Never tried mashed cauliflower for some reason. Just saw a recipie in one of my cooking magazines though. Enough cheese makes everything better lol

Yep!! One trip in February AND one in March! Gives me the encouragement I need to get out and drive to work!!

You
Go
Girl!
Woohoo

I’m actually okay with rooming with someone else. It’s only for a few nights. They have already assigned me a roomie. She is the aunt of one of the girls in the band. I don’t know if this girl is being raised by her aunt or if the aunt is just extremely involved in her life. I checked out the woman’s Facebook page and discovered that she is 12 years older than me and likes to post a lot of recipies. I asked B if she knew the girl in band. She says she knows who she is, but has never spoken to her.



Congratulations to Charlie.

I shouldn’t be posting right now, but I am bored at work.

So, worst case, you’ll come back with a bunch of new recipes? . I gotta give you credit to let DD bunk with friend. Not sure I could sleep in room with a stranger. Of course I snore loudly to shake the shingles off, so have my own baggage there

bobbie….congrats to Charlie......quite an achievement...…..I think you helped in many ways for him to achieve that...….yep, looking forward to New York......this will be my 6th time to the City and my shortest visit with mum at only a week....seems silly to go for such a short visit....but it works for us this year time wise. She is so excited, but sadly I think this will be the last time I take her as she`ll be 84 and trying to get travel insurance for her is getting a little difficult. And it does take a lot out of her.....not that she`ll admit to that of course......lol.....

Patty....that just looks cold!!! And what a fabulous picture!!!! Not fun to drive in though.

Thought rain was here to stay...….

This is this afternoon...…..frost is back...…..

It is getting colder as I type outside, not as cold as Patty of course...….it has been a beautiful day but we were glad to get in just before lunch...…

Although it`s been one of those days where the phone has never stopped ringing.....we still have a landline and it was just one of those days. Even had one asking me if I wanted to claim for the accident I had recently.....known scam of course.....so I said oh yes, which one......silence.....she said its just a contact call to chat about your recent accident......I repeat again.....can you tell me which one...….silence again, then they hang up.....lol....I love playing games with these fraudsters...…..

4pm already....this day has flown past.

Looks like horse country in Virginia, USA. Beautiful! I’ll trade you snow for frost lol

Roanoke has such a fascinating history. Never found the time to stop when in the area. Mr informed me we have boxes of cookies coming. Least nothing I really like, phew. If thin mints, it’d been all over for me.

 

[Charade67]

Charade you won’t be disappointed getting the comfort height. We got a Koehler 1 piece and it’s great. My husband was the one who wanted it. I wasn’t sure about it, but it looks nice and so much easier to get up from! I’m happy we got it.

I think I am sold on the comfort height.I’ll probably want to put one in the upstairs (main) bathroom too. I’m not sure if we should call a plumber first or just go ahead and buy a new toilet. (Home Depot will do the installation.) DH’s cousin’s husband is a plumber, so dh is going to ask his advice. I just wish he lived close enough that we could just hire him to do the job.

Do you sew or know a seamstress? Maybe etsy?

My sewing skills don’t extend any farther than sewing a patch on a Girl Scout vest. I might be able to hire someone though. I never think about etsy. A few years back I saw a little girl’s dress on etsy that was almost identical to one I had as a child.

So, worst case, you’ll come back with a bunch of new recipes? . I gotta give you credit to let DD bunk with friend. Not sure I could sleep in room with a stranger. Of course I snore loudly to shake the shingles off, so have my own baggage there

Well, I figure if I hadn’t decided to tag along she would be rooming with friends anyway. She’s also legally and adult now. That still sounds weird to me. I have no idea what other adults are going, so I may be spending time at the parks alone. I’ve never done that before.

Roanoke has such a fascinating history. Never found the time to stop when in the area. Mr informed me we have boxes of cookies coming. Least nothing I really like, phew. If thin mints, it’d been all over for me.

I haven’t really spent too much time exploring Roanoke. We mostly go there to shop. I may be taking a road trip to Richmond soon. They just had 7 cheetah cubs born at the zoo there.
I think I am one of the few people who doesn’t care for Thin Mints. I’d much rather have the Peanut Butter Patties and the Lemonades.

 

[Sue M]

Keishashadow what caused the plumbing leak in ceiling? 5 figures yikes.

We get Girl Guide cookies here! But only 2 types. The choc & vanilla with the cream filling and the choc mints. I’m not overly fond of mint, but they’re really good frozen!

They won’t know until they rip into the ceiling, easily 10 feet high no less. I’m guessing it’s just old pipe. The owner replaced what was visible in basement with PVC but we just discovered it still has galvanized pipes under the floor boards. Home inspection didn’t catch that gem. Woodwork replacement not covered.

Could be all the bathroom drains involved in this mess. Policy is if the prior owner used any caustic products regularly (drano, etc.) it releases the insurance company from liability since repeated use corrodes the pipes & is easily identifiable.

Dread seeing the estimate, as plumbing company said they are going to highball/worst case scenario to insurer. Idea is to then work their way down depending on what they find. Dealing with a separate add on insurance paid by the house’s listing real estate agent that runs for the first year. Not to be confused with
DSS homeowner’s policy. Fingers are crossed for him. Not what you want to get hit with 8 months into your first home lol

[schumigirl]

Happy new dishwasher Sue.........and glad the little glitch was an easy fix.......we i the UK have Girl Guides too.....you are in the Brownies to start with as a younger child then graduate to be a girl guide......I did it until we had to go camping!! Real camping....no luxuries or soft beds.....even as a 12 year old I knew that wasn’t for me.....lol......so out I went!

Yes, I hate gin Sue......always have and tasted it years ago and thought it was gross.....so never touched tonic water after that either......but this stuff is really nice.......although I do like some of the flavoured gins out now.....particularly Gordon’s Pink Gin......very nice!! I hate mint too.......never put it in anything......

My family live in Oakdale Sue.......beautiful area.....I could happily live there!! I love Long Island....we visited so many lovely places including some lovely vineyards last time. Looking forward to going back again. I love how having a swimming pool and a boat are the norm over where they are.......lol.......I did enjoy sitting around the pool sipping a cocktail or two at one of my cousins house........

Keisha....that is bad luck for your boy......he’s not been in that home too long too.....hope the insurance comes through quickly......I’m sure you’ll make a dent in it this weekend.



Well, it’s mild but windy......rain forecast later today and heavy too. Then we have another arctic blast next week.....

Morning roll with bacon for breakfast today.......Saturday ritual.........then clean all the bathrooms and iron......Tom will wash the floors and vacuum the carpets we have. May try and finish getting all my books back in place, started last week but didn’t even get a quarter of the way through them.

No plans to go out today......everywhere is so busy at the weekends.....best to avoid.

Have a great Saturday..........

 

[Lynne G]

Morning. Yep, DH got me up around 4 this morning. No matter, he remarked he thought I was in the shower for a half hour so far. Why, yes I am. When fingers started wrinkling, finished it up. Then more than a few cups of tea. Then decided to make my own hash, with taters, ham, and cheese. Decided no eggs today.

Wash day, as three loads done, now just the linens. I like to do them last. Then, relaxing, and taking more bags to the resale church place. Seems all of us are cleaning closets out. That is a good thing. A cute dress that little one had will be given to my Dsis’s granddaughter. She loves wearing little one’s style. So a visit to her too. And she has a 10 month old sister, and an older brother, so a busy home.

Later homies, enjoy this weekend. January is coming to an end. And a Schumi can drink again.

Eek, Keisha. Sorry to hear of all issues in your son’s house. Yeah, welcome to being a home owner. I hope all gets fixed, and insurance does pay for the damage. Stressful, for sure.

 

[Sue M]

Schumi thanks! I’m itching to do my first load on new machine, lol! Maybe after Sunday dinner there will be enough dishes since we’re out today too.
Yes, it’s the same here as your Girl Guides. First started by Lord Baden-Powell, and his sister. When my girls were little a pre-Brownies group was started called Sparks! They wore pink tees.

Having bacon this morning too. Then going out to the valley at noon. Sitting around watching morning news with my coffee!

Have a good day all!

 

[buckeev]

Howdy you bunch of SANS Ladies-n-Lords!

Wow, all of these toilet and leaking and remod stories...I feel like y'all are at our humble commode...abode.
Hey Charade, if you haven't put the new toilets down yet, try to use STAINLESS BOLTS AND WASHERS, if possible. Also, On the last few I've done, I use a renforced mounting plate with extra mounting holes to the flooring...makes it sooo much stronger. AND...get the ADA height...(MUCH easier on those of us that have older knees!!!) ANY qs, shoot me a message. I'm pert-near an expert on toilet repair/replacements.
Disclaimer: I am not an "Actual LICENSED Plumber", but I did stay at a Holiday Inn once.

Taking Gage to Dallas for one of his Anime/Character Conventions in two weeks. Fun Times. Hoping for ice free driving!

I was especially glad to have that height after my knee surgery! The first time using a regular height toilet after getting the comfort height was like someone had pulled the chair out from under me, the seat wasn’t where I was expecting it to be, lol. Quite comical!
