Something About Nothing............ #14

[schumigirl]

I use the oven more than cooking on top with the burners
Have not had the room temps be effected and make it rise

Our ac on 24/7 and never feel any heat up in the kitchen

Central air is a necessity in the south!

Like most homes in my hoa, houses also have ceiling fans in many of the rooms

Mr Mac likes the house cool so I have an electric blanket on my bed many a night it’s turned on to #4
Lol

I’m off today for another dental appointment which is an ongoing process
With the molars that were extracted, have gum work to be done again
And a cap put on one tooth today
Crowns ( additional ones) will be put on next month

More implants or crowns will begin later this summer

yes.. I am spending my children’s inheritance

Have a great day homies!

Oh my goodness, I couldn`t imagine your temps without your central A/C!! I`d be the same, it`ll be on constantly.

lol....most kids don`t need inheritances these days ....my motto is Spend...Spend.....Spend.......works for me!!!

I know the southern states begin earlier than the north, but that's only 2 weeks away! Where is the summer going???


DD has a window unit for her bedroom at her apartment. they work quite nice!


Like Seraphinas wand a lot!

Glad to hear the trip is off to a great start!! Wonderful memories being made!


Hope that your book club get together is fantastic!! So long overdue!


Yes, those severe storms can really scare some doggos! Our lab is a bit of a baby. The other 2 pets don't seem bothered in the least.
Yay, for the cool down!


We sure did have a nice time! Thx for thinking of me!


That is such a fantastic gift idea! Can you PM me the company?
DH has a 1970 Mach 1 Mustang. He'd really like a mini of that I think.


I'm probably one of the fewwomen on the planet that hasn't watched a Hallmark or Lifetime movie, lol!
No interest for me.


Sounds like a super meal!
We had root beer ice cream from A&W on the way home yesterday. Yum!


Always enjoy a good steak!!
HBD to your mister!!


A walk and lunch with friends....sounds like a wonderful Monday!!


You and your dentist will be besties by the time all of your work is finished. Hope it all goes smoothly!!








Some tubing fun! Captain takes a break while we float! Such a calm day...

Making the most of all nice summer days! Made a picnic to take along, and we ate while tied up at a sand bar.

Fresh air and sun had everyone tired last night. Will do laundry and grocery shopping today.
Back to the Monday routine, and looking forward to the upcoming weekend!

Love your pictures again!!! I loved seeing all the folks park up their boats and go to lunch in places like New Smyrna Beach and similar.....a very elegant way to lunch and a picnic sounds fun!!

Oh this book group are driving me nuts! I thought we had a meet sorted......now three want it changed to an evening, four want it on a morning, 3 want an afternoon and the rest of us don`t care! I will organise this......... I`m so ready to move on to the next book.

Glad to have you back though.......




Good to see you Pumpkin.........




Afternoon of sunshine here, lovely sitting out in the garden. And no need for dinner as lunch was so filling.

Going to try and organise this book group meet now.......

 

[Lynne G]

Yay, Pumpkin had some great family time. I hope your headache went away. Sending mummy dust instead of smoke to hope you feel much better.

Walk was quite lovely. Not too bad with lower humidity and not quite 90 out.

Mac, sending mummy dust good thoughts dental visit goes well. Hugs too.

Ah Schumi, sometimes people are like herding cats. LoL Though it is annoying when all don’t generally agree to a time.

Ooh, it’s the what for dinner question. Cooked up some chicken, as had a chicken breast left in the refrigerator, as made a good enough lunch. Chopped it up, to cook fast. Pasta dinner? Maybe. Seems we did not really grocery shop this weekend, so I can see us doing a fast run to the grocery store after dinner.

 

[macraven]

Just a quick stop in!!!

@macraven I hope your dentist appointment goes smoothly!!! I have anxiety just thinking about going to the dentist.

Have a great day everyone!!!!!

pumpkin
It took me a few years to hook up with the dentist I am now using
He had a long wait list for accepting new patients
I needed to find one that was not in Chattanooga but the outer southern suburbs
Wanted a dentist that was within a ten minute drive from my house and used twi light sedation so I did not need Mr Mac to drive me for appointments

The dude I found is up there in price but it is completely painless dental surgery.
Nice thing is he waits until the patient is loopy before he does injections... big plus for me

He only schedules 4 patients a day and he works 3 days a week

He finished all the work today in just a bit over two hours while I was in the chair.

Next dental work I have is August for the another job to be done

I won't say how long it's been since I have been to the dentist I had many VERY traumatic experiences as a child. I won't go into them...but when I told dd about one experience...she asked me to stop. She understood why then.

I am extremely embarrassed but the trauma from childhood just keeps me from going back as an adult. It took everything I had to take the kids for their appointments. I worked really hard to find good pediatric dentists for them, so they wouldn't have my fears.

I try really hard to take care of my teeth...and dread the day when I have to go back in again. I know it's part of self care and part of good health...but I have NOT found a dentist here who has won me over for being patient with high anxiety people.

Edited to add

I would rather go through the scariest house at HHN with Michael Meyers chasing me down than go to the dentist.

 

[Charade67]

Good evening. Nothing much going on today. Dh called our painter to find out when he could start. Poor guy was home sick. Hopefully not Covid. We should have a quote on the floor by tomorrow. I hope we can get all of this done before dh has to go back to school in August.

Just back from Hennen’s steak house in Chattanooga to celebrate a birthday
We ate too much ...
(isn’t it always like that, well it is for us)

no midnight snacks for me tonight

Happy birthday to Mr. Mac.

If we build our own home from scratch next, it`ll have full A/C running through it, just because.

I can't remember a time when we didn't have central A/C, but I have lived in the south almost all of my life.

Central air is a necessity in the south!

Yes!

I’m off today for another dental appointment which is an ongoing process
With the molars that were extracted, have gum work to be done again
And a cap put on one tooth today
Crowns ( additional ones) will be put on next month

Yikes! I hope all goes well.

That is such a fantastic gift idea! Can you PM me the company?

I just bought it from the shop on the official NASCAR website.

I would rather go through the scariest house at HHN with Michael Meyers chasing me down than go to the dentist.

I am sorry to hear you have had so much dental trauma. I am the opposite. I have been very fortunate with dentists.

Nothing to do tonight. I think I will indulge in some chocolate pudding.

 

[schumigirl]

Ah Schumi, sometimes people are like herding cats. LoL Though it is annoying when all don’t generally agree to a time.

Yes, and, they`ll have to agree now to what two of us decide, so we have done just that.

With all you had done, you did marvellously. Price isn`t as important as your comfort.

I do like the twilight sedation!!

Hope your decorator is ok and can start on your home soon, yes, it`s nice getting jobs done as quickly as possible.

Being in the South of the USA, yes, central air is essential, here in the UK it`s a non thing in most places.....we just don`t get those kind of temps and if we do, it doesn`t last long. I wonder if in the future new homes will have it, but right now, no, it`s just not a thing.





In saying that we have out first ever "amber/red extreme heat warning" in the UK. It is hot for us. Some places will reach over 100F due to the "Bermuda Blowtorch" reaching us.......it`s nice!! We won`t reach 100F today thankfully, being right on the coast helps, it`s usually slightly cooler. And isolated thunderstorms are the order of the day.

So, another walk this morning, going to try and leave just after 7.15 and walk for around 2-3 hours depending on the heat. That`s what is deciding how long we`ll walk every day this week.

Doing our chicken skewers and lamb kebabs tonight, with usual sides. But, no plans to do much at all except spend some time in the garden in the afternoon which is lovely. Noticed the plums are coming out in abundance yesterday, not ripe yet, but pears and apples are all starting to bloom too.

Croissants this morning for breakfast. And water, lots of water.

Have a wonderful Tuesday ​

 

[Lynne G]

Ah a hot feeling Tuesday for Schumi and me. Hope your early morning walk was nice.

Though at 92 today, not as warm as Schumi, but that glorious high weather has given us a clear sky, and oh so bright from the wee hours. And so, as the humidity ticks up from all that sunshine, we get some haze this morning. Yep, going to be a hot one today.

And yay, with that daily days we go along the years, we are at a Tuesday today. Woot to all enjoying a taco or two. See, the day of the week Mac may say hey, Taco Bell dinner today.

And so. Have that terrific Taco Tuesday homies.

Oooh tea? Yep time to get more of it. And yes, even though I’m in the Northeast, it’s still nice to have both an AC and a heater.

 

[macraven]

We cheated and got our Taco Belle in last night
as this weeks schedule would not work for us

Inside dining started a month ago for our taco belle

 

[Lynne G]

Eh, Taco Bell Monday is just fine, Mac. Yeah, I think some of our fast food places allow indoor, and some do not. I don’t think we have stepped in a Taco Bell for over 2 years. We go through the drive through and eat in parking lot. We realized pretty quickly that that food does not travel well. And there is no close Taco Bell to us, as both are about a 15 to 20 minute or more drive to. And we like Baja Fresh, and that only one we know close to us is about a half hour ride away. You’d think we’d have closer. Well, we have three Wawa stores within a five minutes drive.

And so, did buy salad with last night’s grocery run. I will be good and have a salad for lunch.

But back to program, as they say. Hope all are having a beautiful sunny Summer day.

 

[J'aime Paris]

Just a quick stop in!!!

We finally got some much needed rain. Temps are a little lower, and it's still super smoky here. Woke up with a horrible headache. Mostly from the smoke. There is more rain in the forecast. Hopefully that will help with some of the smoke.

Went to the city as a last minute decision to visit the kids and grandbaby. Had a great time. Took her to our version of " Mall of America " and into the amusement park area and let her ride some rides. She LOVED it. Now I'll be pestering Gramps to whip out the CC to take her to Disney lol.

It seems everyone is doing great here.

@macraven I hope your dentist appointment goes smoothly!!! I have anxiety just thinking about going to the dentist.

Have a great day everyone!!!!!

Hope that smoke disappears quickly, no fun...
I dream of the day I can take a grand baby on vacation!!! That would be the absolute best!

Oh my goodness, I couldn`t imagine your temps without your central A/C!! I`d be the same, it`ll be on constantly.

lol....most kids don`t need inheritances these days ....my motto is Spend...Spend.....Spend.......works for me!!!

Going to try and organise this book group meet now.......

We've done the boat tie up as well and it's great fun, but decided on the picnic due to tubing. We also tie up in harbors and go to bars for lunch. I like that option a lot, since it's zero work for me, lol!

I won't say how long it's been since I have been to the dentist I had many VERY traumatic experiences as a child. I won't go into them...but when I told dd about one experience...she asked me to stop. She understood why then.

I'm sharing your post with my DD. She's beginning dental school in August. It is important that she knows people have suffered real trauma.

I just bought it from the shop on the official NASCAR website.

Thanks for the info! I'll check it out!

Yes, and, they`ll have to agree now to what two of us decide, so we have done just that.

Another great walk!
Dangerous heat levels for those not used to it and no AC.....

Ah a hot feeling Tuesday for Schumi and me. Hope your early morning walk was nice.

Oooh tea? Yep time to get more of it. And yes, even though I’m in the Northeast, it’s still nice to have both an AC and a heater.

With the hot flashes I've been having lately, I'd positively melt without the AC! DH and DD say it feels like a meat locker in the house, lol!

Eh, Taco Bell Monday is just fine, Mac. Yeah, I think some of our fast food places allow indoor, and some do not. I don’t think we have stepped in a Taco Bell for over 2 years.

Agreed. Fast food is best eaten right away!









I ended up making Jambalaya for dinner with the groceries bought yesterday. I'm sure it's not authentic southern Jambalaya, but the family was quite pleased. I used shrimp, my conecuh sausage and chicken for the proteins. I could only find frozen okra, even after calling 6 stores, but it worked out fine. Kept the spice level to medium-low, as we are wimps. But it was perfect for us!

One week away from adventures in Boston!! We have a nice dinner reserved, plans to visit Harvard, and a ghost and graveyards tour booked. We might also visit the Aquarium....but it eats up a lot of time, so not completely sure on that. Our hotel is centrally located to everything, and on the Freedom Trail. We will walk around the city a great deal, and see what we come across!


I often get teased about my midwestern accent, so I thought these Boston memes were cute!!

 

[schumigirl]

Lori……I adore the Boston/Maine accent in general. There used to be 2 brothers who stayed Club for HHN a few years same time as us, and they were from Boston…….they loved Lobstah…….we chatted to them a lot. It’s one of those accents you could just listen to for hours.

Just a week away now? I cannot wait to hear all about it……sounds like you have some lovely plans there.

Yes, this heat will catch some out that just aren’t used to it. Being on the coast we just aren’t as hot as 100f (thank goodness) but it’s darn hotter than usual, even for July.

No spice in the jambalaya……lol……in saying that, I don’t like rice very much and can never get the taste for it, but I’m sure yours was lovely……well, except for the okra……




Friend just left, her office is near us and she’d had enough for today. So she told her secretary, no calls, I’m busy. Sat with us for an hour or so had a coffee and she has headed home.

We’re still in the garden, that little afternoon breeze has just started which is lovely.

Did our 7 miles this morning, would have been longer, but the heat was zapping us. So, bought some crab from the front and had that with salad for lunch, but feeling peckish, so might have an afternoon snack as it’s a few hours from dinner yet.

Extreme heat advisory has been extended till Friday, so nice week ahead……maybe a few storms in there too.

 

[Lynne G]

Ah yes. Schumi having our Summer fun weather too. Excessive heat warnings with some of those drenching thunderstorms. Time to stay cool and watch the skies.

Yay, a Paris post. Yeah, not a fan of your dinner. But glad to hear all enjoyed eating it. I do like food with some heat. Hehe, my brother is growing some very hot tasting peppers. He says he will have a good crop. We will take some, as DH does not have taste buds. LoL

Our 7 day forecast stays in the high 80’s, with only tomorrow having those ever happy chances of rain. Spotty rain showers predicted for our Wednesday. Guess that camel will need to watch the skies too, for rain.

Yay, time for my walk. It’s lunchtime. While l could walk as far as Schumi, I don’t get that long a lunch break.

So just a few miles for me.

Don’t worry LG I won’t keep score of walking lengths, never been competitive

Yes, watching the skies will be fun as we overlook the sea, always good to see a storm out there. Just very unusual for us to be this hot for as long.



Thinking of firing up the grill a little early tonight……..we’re all starving.

But, made up a few little appetisers and will take them outside for us all to nibble on. Breeze has got up a little but still pleasant. We had a weird 5 minute fog burst come in off the sea, took the temp right down, but it’s fine now.

Going to be a little duller and cooler tomorrow, so might up our walk to do some more…….and might have two friends join us, usually tempt them to walk by offering lunch at the end of it.

Time to nibble…….

 

[Pumpkin1172]

Making a quick morning stop in!

Worked a shift at HomeSense last night. I always get my steps in while working a shift lol. Only one of "those customers" who you hate to deal with. Thank goodness, I was in a different part of the store and not called to the front. I always seem to get called up...even though I'm not a manager and can't do anything . Guess it's my years of customer service that keep coming out to hopefully talk people off the ledge lol.

I have an appointment to finally get a pedicure today. I had put it off...then restrictions hit again....now that we are fully open here, I finally got an appointment at my favorite place. So I am looking forward to that!!! Now to decide what color what I want my nails...decisions, decisions lol.

I was hoping to go for a walk tonight, but I have lots of things on my to-do list. A grocery store stop, whip up supper, a little bit of housework...plus we are still under an air quality advisory because of the smoke. I guess we will see how long all that takes me tonight.

Good evening. Nothing much going on today. Dh called our painter to find out when he could start. Poor guy was home sick. Hopefully not Covid. We should have a quote on the floor by tomorrow. I hope we can get all of this done before dh has to go back to school in August.

It is lots of work, but it is worth it in the end, once you see the results of it all. I can't wait to see some before and after pictures!

That sounds delicious!!! Enjoy your afternoon - especially after your morning walk!

I'm sharing your post with my DD. She's beginning dental school in August. It is important that she knows people have suffered real trauma.

It was 40ish years ago...and things were very different then. The expectations placed on children to just suck it up from unsympathetic dentists where there was no thought or sensitivity to children's needs or fears created it. I was weirdly blessed with two sets of some of my adult teeth. Needless to say, my mouth was a mess. Luckily I was blessed also with very strong teeth. Hopefully one day, I can overcome my fear. Not many things give me anxiety...but THAT does!!!!

Well, I should tackle this pile of papers that was just plopped onto my desk.

Take care hommies!!!!

You sent your smoke down to us Pumpkin....we have an air quality alert that just popped up on my weather app! It says the wildfire activity in Canada has been transported to us by a frontal boundary from northeast to southwest. It is quite hazy outside currently and the air smells of smoke. The air is due to be poor in my area until Wednesday according to the alert.





The Milwaukee Bucks are playing game 6 tonight of the NBA finals. If we win tonight, we will be the champions!!! Its very exciting around the Milwaukee area. The city has already closed streets downtown and are expecting 65,000 fans to descend upon the area where the game will be played! Plus another 25K fans inside the arena. And many thousands more at all the downtown bars where the streets will be accessible by foot only tonight.
I'm staying at home, and will be wearing my tshirt to support my team.....Go Bucks!! #fearthedeer

We were watching the previous game on Saturday night when we were out for supper with the kids...and the place was buzzing and cheering for the Bucks. I sure hope they pull off this win!!!!!

I hope the smoke clears soon!!! It's a normal part of our summer is to have Canada burning BC and Ontario are reporting lots of fires right now. Both regions typically do have many large fires. Hopefully they stay away from the cities and rural areas.

Making a quick morning stop in!

Worked a shift at HomeSense last night. I always get my steps in while working a shift lol. Only one of "those customers" who you hate to deal with. Thank goodness, I was in a different part of the store and not called to the front. I always seem to get called up...even though I'm not a manager and can't do anything . Guess it's my years of customer service that keep coming out to hopefully talk people off the ledge lol.

I have an appointment to finally get a pedicure today. I had put it off...then restrictions hit again....now that we are fully open here, I finally got an appointment at my favorite place. So I am looking forward to that!!! Now to decide what color what I want my nails...decisions, decisions lol.

I was hoping to go for a walk tonight, but I have lots of things on my to-do list. A grocery store stop, whip up supper, a little bit of housework...plus we are still under an air quality advisory because of the smoke. I guess we will see how long all that takes me tonight.


It is lots of work, but it is worth it in the end, once you see the results of it all. I can't wait to see some before and after pictures!

That sounds delicious!!! Enjoy your afternoon - especially after your morning walk!

It was 40ish years ago...and things were very different then. The expectations placed on children to just suck it up from unsympathetic dentists where there was no thought or sensitivity to children's needs or fears created it. I was weirdly blessed with two sets of some of my adult teeth. Needless to say, my mouth was a mess. Luckily I was blessed also with very strong teeth. Hopefully one day, I can overcome my fear. Not many things give me anxiety...but THAT does!!!!

Sounds like you will have an amazing trip!!!!!

Enjoy your walk! Hopefully not too many showers for you tomorrow!

Well, I should tackle this pile of papers that was just plopped onto my desk.

Take care hommies!!!!

Good to see you Pumpkin.......and yes, some folks need to learn how to speak to others in many circumstances. I know some customers seem to forget they`re delaing with humans when speaking to people who are trying to help them. People skills are missing at times.

Oh goodness, I hear you on the dentists of the 70`s....the first dentist I had at school was known as the butcher. Yes, not much choice around where I grew up back then. I blame him for me having such terrible teeth. My dentist now I`ve had for a long time, we travel all the way back to where we used to live to see him, but now he is selling his practice as he is 55 and want to take it easy.....gutted.

Hope you get back to walking soon.....

I had PM'ed Woorfiedoodles and Bobbie68 for some Boston area help. They were both wonderful and gave me awesome ideas!!


Does your brother eat the peppers 'as is'? Or does he use them to spice up dishes?



Enjoy that pedi!!!!

You sent your smoke down to us Pumpkin....we have an air quality alert that just popped up on my weather app! It says the wildfire activity in Canada has been transported to us by a frontal boundary from northeast to southwest. It is quite hazy outside currently and the air smells of smoke. The air is due to be poor in my area until Wednesday according to the alert.

Worfiedoodles is a star!! She is lovely and yes, would be happy to help you.

Enjoy that game tonight.....sounds like a huge amount of fun and hope your team win....

I`m not lynne, but the chillies we grow we use in cooking mostly, sometimes chop a tiny amount through salads....we like them spicy too. We had one fail, but trying the carolina reaper again. We also have regular birds eye chillies on a plant....even they are fairly hot.

Have fun tonight and hope that smoke clears for you......





It`s slightly cooler tonight, won`t need the aircon unit to help sleep for sure.

Dinner was lush!! And very filling, certainly no room for dessert tonight, I had made some ice cream but it`ll keep till next time.

Yes, we tend to use them to spice up a meal. He did tell me the kind, Paris, but I forgot. Next time I talk with him, will ask him.

Yeah, and part of our haze this morning was smoke from the West. Yep, us too have air quality warnings. Global we are.

Yay, being legally blond as hair pamper time.
