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

[Charade67]

Good evening everyone. I can't find anything else worth watching on TV, so I am watching a Phineas and Ferb marathon on the Disney channel.

Apple pie for everyone on return.

Send one my way please.

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!

That is very disturbing. Still no reports from B's school.

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

I can recommend a couple of places online if you are interested.

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

So sorry about the vacation. I hope you are able to reschedule.

Charade, hope you don’t mind, but I thought it was cool that marine life made the ocean in San Diego this color:

That picture is beautiful. Thanks Lynne. I would love to go back to San Diego someday.

Woohoo on not having to go into work.

Unfortunately it also means I don't get paid.

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

My quarantine binge watch was the series Psych. I don't know how I managed to miss it when it originally aired.


Good night!

 

[macraven]

Charade thanks for the offer of sites but I don’t do any shopping on line.

I know many prefer shopping that way and enjoy it.

Finally found a few episodes of Shark Tank I have not seen before.

Lot of UO commercials been coming on while watching this show
Really, commercials for UO been on all this week.
If I had not already booked a trip, I would be calling now to make a reservation.

Sweet dreams homies!

 

[Realfoodfans]

@snowpack have you watched The Crown. If available you might like that. Another British one we like (as was on old series they’ve picked up on their lives) was Cold Feet.

@mckennarose you we were on the same continent I would send you a couple of English scenes! I have given some away already but about 30 at my parents home to go to charity.

@Charade67 I’ll save you some pie - get the flight booked.

@jump00 sorry about your vacation. Ours was cancelled too and son and DIL have lost 3. When out with them the other evening we started to plan one that could go ahead under current restrictions for next Summer - looking at Santorini which is one of the Greek islands I’ve always wanted to visit. Fingers crossed.

 

[Realfoodfans]

@snopack “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.“


Always happy to share pics of Louie - Kennel club name Inspector Lewis (British tv drama!) the main actor reminds me of my Kev.

 

[Lynne G]

Snow, yeah sometimes what I cook I think is a keeper, family not as fond. Usually dried is more powerful than fresh herbs. My family is not that eager past salt and pepper. I sneak in other, once in awhile.

Sweet pictures of Louie, Julie. A year before we got married, we spent a month in the Greek Islands. Spent a few days in Santorini, as I wanted to be on the black beaches. Yeah, we did not stay long on those beaches, the bugs were biting enough for us to say, yep we did it, and time to go. The bus ride from the pier, as we hopped on a ferry from the Port of Athens, was scary. Bus had open windows, and brushed by the rock walls as it zig zagged up the rock face wall into the town at the top. I printed a picture from that pier looking up, it hangs on my office wall. The other picture I have hanging with it, is from Mykonos. Pretty scene from one of the streets, framed by the white colored houses. We stayed on 4 of the islands, and took a very boat bobbing trip from Mykonos to Delos, just to see the ruins. We went in the summer, and I came back the most tan I have ever been. Hope if you do get to Santorini, you do. The Aegean is a beautiful turquoise color.

And so, Mac is now going to be a puzzler. You can find them at Walmart and Target. I have bought ones at both places. I pick whatever fancies me. Gifted some.

Buy hey, you know the weather word of the day is? Yep, steamy. As in it will be a very hot feeling Thursday. And so, drink up homies, a thirsty Thursday is upon us. Hehe,



Thus, when it is hot, make sure you drink. Anyway, good to be hydrated anyway. So pick up that glass, or wine cup, and toast to being the only day you can say, tomorrow is Friday. Yay!

One terrific Thirsty Thursday to all the homies.

And more prayers to those in Laura’s path. Scary times, please stay safe.

Ah yes, the time for tea. Good Morning!

 

[jump00]

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

Thanks Mac!!!

 

[jump00]

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:
View attachment 521867 So night light for all those tonight.

And have a relaxing evening homies.

Thanks Lynne, and so sorry about your cruise. Hope we can travel again soon.

Thanks @Realfoodfans - Greece would be a wonderful trip. Both my children went with friends when they graduated University and loved it!!!! My dh and I are starting to look at other places to vacation as well. I too..........need something to look forward to.
Brenda

 

[Lynne G]

Oh Jump, I do hope you get a new ticker and book a vacation soon. I am so looking forward to getting away next month. Hope you are enjoying today.

Very sunny out here, with that ever random rain and thunderstorms late afternoon into evening.

 

[Disxuni]

@Charade67 I surprisingly don't have much experience. A lot of talk, but no action. I attempted once in the early times of chatting and making a young friend. It only happened since my parents came with me and we happened to stumble across that we lived in the same town (and I was new in town). I was a little nugget at the time, but we never recognized each other (only realized after the fact). It was hard to meet people when you grew up an era of when this started happening and you were a child, then eventually a teenager, and while you're an adult your parents still worry, especially since you're a young woman. So, Mac is technically the first official person I met from the internet.

I can't wait to meet more of you though in the future! My mom will worry, because we got corona mixed in there, but I'll convince her I'll be safe and that realistically I need to try to move a little forward since I can't lock myself away forever.

@snowpack Fortunately it's not heading for me, but unfortunately it's still heading towards Texas and Louisiana, so my thoughts at with them at the moment. It's not only a massive and powerful storm, but they're not used to these things like Floridians.

@Realfoodfans Amazing photos! Absolutely adorable!

I hope everyone is enjoying Thirsty Thursday! Isn't that what it is @Lynne G? Welp, either way, it's almost Friday! Have a good day homies and stay safe!

 

[Lynne G]

Yep Dix, and so happy it is a Friday tomorrow, decided I needed a 3 day weekend, so off I am taking. Yay!!

So drink up, yep, stick that tongue out like my dog above, and below, and


Either way, hope your Thursday is going well.

 

[Disxuni]

Glad you are taking a three day weekend! I bet it's well overdue.

Also, update, I don't even know if anyone is keeping track, but I'm around the weight I was when I was last able to get on Harry Potter rides (since I got my pass last Fall I haven't been able to do HP rides since I gained weight). So if I play my cards right and lose even more, I definitely should have no issues and should be able to go on those rides again when I come back into the parks.

 

[macraven]

Happy happy joy joy disxuni!

If you remember the Ren and Stimpy show the phrase makes sense

I have a folder of their playing cards!
I that cartoon show

 

[Charade67]

Super slow day at work today. I finished everything I needed to do before lunch, and now I’m trying to find thinks to keep me busy until
It’s time to go home.

@Charade67 I’ll save you some pie - get the flight booked.

Wouldn’t that be a fun story to share? I planned a trip to England so I could get some apple pie. I think that would be better than the time I planned a Disney trip just so I could see a 3D movie.

Always happy to share pics of Louie - Kennel club name Inspector Lewis (British tv drama!) the main actor reminds me of my Kev.

Aww...he’s so cute.

And so, Mac is now going to be a puzzler. You can find them at Walmart and Target. I have bought ones at both places. I pick whatever fancies me. Gifted some.

When I first started buying puzzles Walmart and Target were cleaned out. I haven’t checked there lately. I’m about halfway through my latest puzzle.

Every meet up I have done so far has been in a very public and busy place. The first internet friends I met were part of a Cary Grant email group. Oddly enough the place we chose to meet was universal Studios. That was long before IOA existed.

I should go find something else to do. I just finished a month’s worth of shredding.

 

[keishashadow]

Mr tucked away to snooze a few hours after derm procedure that went well, yea! His first, did question why I didn’t mention the shot in the face. Mama didn’t want him to run screaming into the night lol

She is an absolute cutie, and favors grandma

I never, ever get tired of hearing you say that ! BD bag of happy happy joy joy was a bit hit.

Em is going up to Liverpoo

That sounds quite exotic to me, nice

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

Free coupon for gyro is still calling me, going to be calling me

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.

This is the exact place to share your above sentiments We get you

DH head goes the way the weather goes. That and not drinking enough water this weekend did him in.

Sounds like possible sinus issues

I bought a bottle of Ghiradelli caramel sauce. I think I could just tip it and squeeze it right into my mouth. Love it!

nom nom nom...with whipped cream & a cherry on top

Charade thanks for the offer of sites but I don’t do any shopping on line.

Hot & heavy here, even on local channels. Mostly the quickie tix commercial. Odd as they rarely were on the tube here other than occasional NBC affiliate now & again

And so, Mac is now going to be a puzzler. You can find them at Walmart and Target. I have bought ones at both places. I pick whatever fancies me. Gifted some.

Pre covid carnegie library system Had them. Also goodwill. Not sure I’d want to touch either versions now

dollar store now & again has smaller adult ones in stock but mostmy

Thanks Lynne, and so sorry about your cruise. Hope we can travel again soon.
Brenda

still a thorn in side to have cancelled 2 cruises during covid. At this point nor even considering until vaccine is in place and proven to work. Just too big of a Petri dish environment for me

but I'm around the weight I was when I was last able to get on Harry Potter rides (since I got my pass last Fall I haven't been able to do HP rides since I gained weight). So if I play my cards right and lose even more, I definitely should have no issues and should be able to go on those rides again when I come back into the parks.

Wow, great news! Congrats. As most gained that covid 15+ (me).

 

[Lynne G]

Yeah, Keisha. Thinking maybe not until at least 2022. I don’t want to have restrictions and mask wearing all when we cruise. Scared about eating inside right now, so boarding a ship right now, or in the next almost year, no. Sadly though. Oh, and glad medical visit went well, and now over, and DH resting. Yeah, me and needles, um cannot watch going in. When little one was a toddler, she thought the needle going into her skin was fascinating. Some days I wonder how she’s mine. LoL

Congrats on weight loss Dix. Yep, looking forward to really relaxing tomorrow.

Charade, yeah for awhile my stores had no puzzles or a few I was not interested in, but lately, have seen much more stock, and I have to tell myself, finish what have first. Hope your work day goes faster. Mine is dragging too. Must be the nice weather. And we both may get some of Hurricane Laura this weekend. Hope it goes out to sea below where you live, so we both get nicer, rain free weekend days.

 

[mckennarose]

Currently sitting in the parking lot waiting for dd and just got the notice her University is going all online on Aug 31! The cases are raising too quickly.

 

[macraven]

I make a list for Mr Mac for when he goes grocery shopping and he always gets what is on the list.
I added puzzles to it today and a few stores he might find them.

Hot and humid here today but that is not a complaint!
As long as I never have to deal with snow again, I’m fine living with this weather in the South.

mrose, is your daughter happy she will do all her classes online?
Lynne, just another year and a half when you can book another cruise.
Any special destination in mind?

keisha, you did good in not telling Dave in advance about the needles
If he mentions why you did not give him a heads up about it, tell him you forgot about the shots

Hope all the homies are doing good today!

 

[keishashadow]

Me too, still for that mayter

Currently sitting in the parking lot waiting for dd and just got the notice her University is going all online on Aug 31! The cases are raising too quickly.

A shame but not unexpected IMO. They r big kids still working on growing up. Could be parents at home setting poor example to begin with...sooner or later we will collective ‘get this’ and realize it’s no joke

our family’s spirit animal

 

[Lynne G]

Oh McK, think right thing to do, for DD. So far, little one’s numbers are not as high, but her University allowed those with the few in person, to do online instead. Most of the classes were announced as online since registered. Though I have to say, her one online class has 250 kids. Lots of zooming by the masses in that one.

Mac, we like the Eastern Caribbean, so hoping one itinerary catches our eye going there, when we decide when to sail.

Ah, a what for dinner. Have to take a poll. Used up the potatoes and peppers and more of the chicken last night. Cut up grilled chicken, red and green peppers cut up, with some fried up bacon pieces and shredded cheese, as it was make your own loaded baked potato night. Really feel like pizza, but there has not been one pizza we all agree on, that is good enough to order again. Hmmm. We had burgers for lunch, so not feeling that for dinner. I’d make some mac and cheese, as have enough for it, but think no pasta in the house. What ya get when kids go grocery shopping. Cheese and sushi was today’s buys. Sigh.
