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

[Realfoodfans]

@Lynne G hope your headache is gone today. So many around I wonder if it is weather related. Yes it was a good meal. We would definitely go again.

Yes saying about dogs and little ones reminded me of fun times. Louie is my first small dog I’ve always had Golden Retrievers from being a child myself. When Em was small and in her baby walker she would just hold on to Toby and pick her feet up and he would pull her all over the house while she screamed laughing! When my two were crawling the main thing to move was dog bowls.

Have I missed a night light? Perhaps need to refresh my page!

 

[Lynne G]

I think Charade posted her Volcano night light early yesterday, Julie. Hope your morning has been good. And thank you, yep, that headache might have been weather related. When that barometer drops, all can feel it in their bones. I am good now. And that weather watch last night yielded no rain at all. Another quiet night. Yep, our labs were used as riding animals, and was so cute, my male was so happy when little one would curl up with him. She’d lay on him and twirl his ear. Both my labs were good with the kids. They passed away when the kids were toddlers. Then we got the boxer, and she grew up with the kids. Sadly, she passed away when they were in their teens, a few years ago. Still not ready for another one, but most likely will be a large dog, though I have to say Louie is so cute.

And a beautiful 80’s degree sunny day in store for us. No chances of the loser rain falling. Sunrise was nice, and already bright out. Sunlight streaming through my window already.

And a Wednesday is upon us, as the week marches on. Why hello ,


He he, why yes, it is a hump of a day, as if we homies get over this hump of a day, well that fabulous Friday feeling is coming oh that much closer.

With that, second cup of tea needed, and ooh, kids’ grocery run yesterday included these fresh baked hand held cherry pies. Maybe I will put on the toaster for a few minutes. Warm it up. Yay! Time for a little breakfast.


And so, Good Morning homies, have that wonderful Wednesday today. And smile, we are getting that ever so closer to not only Friday, but the end of the month starts next week. Woot!

Hey DisneyLife, another link off that countdown chain. Tick Tock.

Good Wednesday morning homies!
Hope all are fine and having a great morning!

Are any of you not getting your post alerts to the Dis?

I have not for yesterday and today and wondering if it’s just me.

Lynne do you have your new flight times locked in now?
Think SW will do more changes prior to leaving?

 

[Lynne G]

I think I do Mac, hoping no more crazy changes. With their sale yesterday, looked and as I said, while did not see any better flights than I have, return went down even more in price. While I am annoyed at losing most of the day, returning, but hey, a few more dollars in my pocket is appreciated.
I just have to remember to call the HR and say a late arrival. Still most annoyed at that arriving change. Hope your flights are set now too.

I checked our prices with SW and nothing is available with the low fare it’s only the higher fares available on our flights.

 

[keishashadow]

Too late lynne...hump, hump, hump . That’s a good meme lol

Off to gymnastics, today it’s a 4 hour session ugh. Almost tempted to turn around & come back home but that would equate to 3 hours or more of drive time. Guess i’ll Shop till I drop . At least there is a large area there 20 minutes from the gym to keep me occupied.

Llittle’s BD is Friday. Parents taking her and a friend for an overnight trip to waterpark resort a few hours from home. Will be first time I haven’t seen her on her BD. We passed lol Will have a pool party for a few hours at their club on Sunday.

Busy tomorrow with medical stuff, think i’ll Just give her presents today & pick up some KFC and call it a BD dinner

Good Wednesday morning homies!
Hope all are fine and having a great morning!

Not signed up for email alerts. Do see recent thread notices in the alarm header here.

I rarely get them for sticky threads (date &rate/APH). When i do, its for a few weeks, then they go poof. I just keep resigning up for notices.

Have given up lol. For you tho as a mod, that can be a real issue i’d Think

 

[Lynne G]

Yeah, DisneyLife, what I got when they first dipped in price, am happy with the price I have now for both flights. Except for that lower fare I saw yesterday, prices are double what I am paying for the round trip, in general. Pays to be early, and watch for sales. Though I am still salty about the removal of all but one direct flight per day, that for me, are both more than a few hours and hours from the ones I had first booked. But such is the life of supply and demand. And, saving money, though I hope that is the buyer more than the seller.

Yeah Keisha, had that, find something else to do, on many a long practice and far enough game, ugh. Hated those long rides, and long times. Ah, another Virgo kid is your GD. Yep, my youngest kid’s bd is Sunday. We got KFC the other night. Was so hot in temp when we got it home to eat, that I think I burnt my tongue, but was tasty. Hope the medical stuff goes well today. And a big Happy Birthday to your GD. And yeah, little one already got one of her presents, thanks to a loud mouthed older one. He did not know bag with present was not for little one to see. Grr. But now a days don’t wrap as much.

Glorious sunny day. And weather guy said to enjoy it today, as the extreme humidity returns tomorrow. So will certainly try to take a lunchtime walk soon.

 

[Realfoodfans]

Not all showing on the header alerts for me Mac. Occasional ones.

Lynne I never thought I’d change from Retrievers - had one growing up then another when I left home who sadly had a short life - then the next before the children who passed when they were teens - then Bob who was my constant companion through divorce and being on my own - we walked many miles together and then Kev joined us and he adored him - proof he’s a good guy! We had a long gap after losing him but after lots of research and visits to dog shows we eventually settled on a Cavalier Spaniel and he’s certainly got that working dog personality. Size means we can take him almost everywhere. He’s fast asleep on my knee as I’ve just sat down.

Not hungry today after the large meal last night but will have to think about the evening meal at some point. Might be a simple freezer meal or pasta of some kind.

@keishashadow your bd plans sound good for little. Lovely she will get a night away.

Weather very mixed today so no gardening done over at Dad’s but a lovely basket of apples brought back to cook. Packed up a collection of thimbles to be posted off after sale on eBay and a decanter and glasses. A few other items still taking bids.

 

[macraven]

Keisha, it does not seem that long ago when you announced when she was born.

Blink and the baby grows up!
She is an absolute cutie, and favors grandma

Yes, getting alerts is a time saver.

Hello everyone. Back at work today. My boss is working from home this week, so it has been nice being in the office alone.
There was a major tragedy at the ice cream shop near my office. Since the power was out almost all day yesterday they weren't able to save the ice cream. So they had to close again today so they could make more ice cream. Sad to think of all that yummy ice cream going to waste.

 

[Charade67]

Oops. Hit post too early.

Also chose a few jigsaws from Mum’s collection and I am going to bring them back and start on another. There are about 30 so I will take the rest to a charity shop.

I wish I lived close to you. I would take some off your hands.

Ugh,,,that would be a huge worry. I am still unsure what to think about our kids going back to school. Most university and college courses are online only here. It is just such a fluid situation, but you still can not help to worry.

SO far no reports from B's school, but I'm sure it's just a matter of time.

Well, today our DD and GD left. She will be crawling soon...and then watch out

Then the fun begins. My niece skipped crawling and went straight to walking.

Had to do a double take, read that as “Sid Bream” baseballl player lol. Never heard of that fish, need to google

I remember him, He played for the Braves for a few years.

Have I missed a night light? Perhaps need to refresh my page!

Sorry about that. I fell asleep while watching TV and completely forgot about the light.

Llittle’s BD is Friday.

Happy birthday to her.

Okay, now it's time to post.

 

[Realfoodfans]

Don’t worry @Charade67 you have enough going on without worrying about the night light - I am responsible here for turning the fans off the bathrooms where the lights stay on all night! Yes I sometimes forget.

What a shame about the ice cream - hate food waste and especially a treat like that.

Em is going up to Liverpool to visit a friend tomorrow with the children and Kev is hopefully going to be able to tidy up MIL’s garden for the last time. I have all these apples to cook so I’m hoping I can have some alone time in the kitchen with my music playing tomorrow. Apple pie for everyone on return. Our news says wheat crops are very poor here and already flour prices are rising so I will add a couple of bags on to my next grocery delivery.

I’m going off to bed now to listen to one of my radio plays so hope everyone has a good evening x

 

[mckennarose]

Ugh! Just got the update for dd's uni.
The positive count since Monday is an additional 40 students. That brings the total to 89 students, 1 employee = 90 people in ONE WEEK! Yikes!
The university president sent a video message to students yesterday. He implored students to be responsible to personal hygiene, hand washing, wearing masks, and following the guidelines for the amount of students getting together. He mentioned the parties last weekend and how the non compliant students were not only fined by the local police, but also under college discipline. DD has friends who had to take some on-campus classes and they are worried. I hope they get this under control or they will have to go back to all online studies. Next update will be Friday evening.

 

[macraven]

I’ve gone weeks with skipping Taco Bell.
Told Mr Mac we are getting nachos supreme box
tonight.

Just saw their commercial again.

I have a “to do” list for next year and the top thing on it is buy puzzles.
Charade and Lynne have inspired me.

Julie, think you are 5 hours ahead of me.
Hope you have sweet dreams tonight.

Mrose, hope your DD stays safe.

Hope all the homies are doing good today!

 

[jump00]

Hello everyone!!!!! Today was the day we were suppose to fly to Orlando and stay 11 days at the RPR. My dh and I are quite “bummed out”. I know there are worse things going on in the world but we really were looking forward to this trip. I read a few of @schumigirl’s reports to reminisce. Hope you are all doing well!!!!
Brenda

 

[macraven]

Jump...sorry your trip didn’t work out but hope you were able to reschedule it!

I read a lot have changed their trip plans

 

[Lynne G]

Jump, so sorry about those plans not happening. Beginning of January, you will see my sad face. Had to cancel a cruise we had so looked forward to for over a year and a half. But not to be. Some day, will go cruising again, and hope you get away soon to replace today’s lost vacation time.

Mac, those boxes are yum. Go for it.

Charade, a shame about that ice cream shop. I am sure they were not happy about losing power too. Nice to have a quiet office.

Julie, hope you have a good night’s sleep.

Just chilling, and not much on of interest. Oh well, the new shows will be here soon enough.

Charade, hope you don’t mind, but I thought it was cool that marine life made the ocean in San Diego this color:
So night light for all those tonight.

And have a relaxing evening homies.

 

[Lynne G]

Oh and I have to say, sending prayers to all those homies in Laura’s path. Buckeev, I hope you and your whole family is safe and healthy. And not flooded this time.

Hugs to those who need it.

 

[macraven]

Buckeev went thru one devastating weather disaster before and hope this present storm misses him.

Beautiful light Lynne!!

 

[snowpack]

Hope DH headache is gone, nothing wrong with the Jeep, and hope guy’s quarantine goes fast for him.

Snow, what a house you came home to. Hope DH headache is gone, nothing wrong with the Jeep, and hope guy’s quarantine goes fast for him.

Yesterday and today was definitely better. DH head goes the way the weather goes. That and not drinking enough water this weekend did him in.

I was just about to leave for work this morning when my boss called and said there is no power at our office. Guess I'll use today to catch up on housework.

Woohoo on not having to go into work.

McK, I have no words. I am just happy I have a common sense kid. She won’t be at campus any time soon.

You are very blessed.

I can live with the rules UO has.
Not crazy about the park hours but it will work.

I read today that the Park will be allowed to increase capacity. Hopefully that means ride capacity as having extra people outside the queues would not be good. In the same article it stated hours would be extended. Not sure how accurate this article was or where they got their information, but extended hours on Friday and Saturday would be good.

Can only hope returning to schools next week doesn’t increase numbers.

That was how my wonderful son got quarantined. There are 4 of them that have hung out during this mess. It was all good. Then the youngest went back to college and she has it and they were together after she contracted it but before she knew it.

She is a very busy girl now....when something catches her eye, she will lunge for it right out of your hands if your not holding onto her lol. I am afraid DH MAY have spoiled her by just letting her grab and reach at whatever she wanted all weekend

Oh, what a joy! How wonderful to have that time together.

do have caramel sauce at home, and put it on my ice cream. Love the flavor.

Woke up with head still throbbing, but a drink of tea, and some quiet, and I feel much better

And yep, thought I had a low airfare, looked again, today and almost $20 lower

When we were at Disney Springs last Feb, I bought a bottle of Ghiradelli caramel sauce. I think I could just tip it and squeeze it right into my mouth. Love it!
Glad you feel better. Think the weather is just being brutal with all these headaches. Good catch on the airfare. Our flights are higher than what we originally paid so we are thankful. Do you know if they are still leaving the middle seat empty until the end of September?

Guess i’ll Shop till I drop

Dont think there is a better plan. Hope you found some great stuff.

Size means we can take him almost everywhere

I think I need a pic. Not sure I have ever seen that breed of dog. We unfortunately have not adopted a new dog because we travel so much now. Its great that you can take yours with you.

I have all these apples to cook so I’m hoping I can have some alone time in the kitchen with my music playing tomorrow. Apple pie for everyone on return

YUMM!!!

That brings the total to 89 students, 1 employee = 90 people in ONE WEEK! Yikes!

Oh No! That is so scary.

Hello everyone!!!!! Today was the day we were suppose to fly to Orlando and stay 11 days at the RPR. My dh and I are quite “bummed out”. I know there are worse things going on in the world but we really were looking forward to this trip

So sorry about your cancelled trip. Are you planning a new one or just kind of in a wait and see mode?

Oh and I have to say, sending prayers to all those homies in Laura’s path. Buckeev, I hope you and your whole family is safe and healthy. And not flooded this time.

Definitely prayers. Please stay safe everyone. Hoping it weakens before it hits.

Cooked a new recipe for tarragon chicken tonight. The guys didnt care for the sauce. The fresh tarragon was a little strong, but I thought it was a keeper. Back to the drawing board I guess.

Finally finished Dowton Abbey this weekend. Looking for something new to binge watch, anyone watched anything great?
