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

[DisneyLifePapioNe]

Ooh, of all the brands of water bottles, that brand you mention Mac, is a hard no from little one. I rarely seem to think there’s no difference in taste of bottle waters, but she hates the taste of that brand. Guess I am not as picky, or I have no good water tasting abilities. But will say, do not like Florida tap water at all. Do really like a family member’s tap that is well water.

And oddly, little one has a final test dinner time today. And still not done it. I may have to snack soon. Maybe will have to sneak over to DisneyLife’s place, to see if any steak leftover. I have no idea what kids are in the mood for. We obviously enjoy carbs, as the box of pasta cooked last night, was eaten completely, pot was empty when I thought I’d eat a bit more. So, doubt pasta want tonight. Maybe our usual Saturday dinner, will be tonight’s. Chinese takeout. Sounds good to me.

And ooh, was a most beautiful sunny day. In the mid 60’s, so shorts were the outfit today. I hear ya, shorts today, with a 7 day, predicted snow to fall next Sunday. Sigh. I will take these warmer feeling, so refreshing, sunny Fall days.

Clear sky last night. No only got to see a not very full moon, but two planets too. Neat this time of year, when clear sky, can see so much. Though with all the human lights around where I live, not as dark as could be to see all in the night’s sky. But always enjoy seeing Orion and the Big Dipper.

Ack, she has to be done soon!

Your always Lynne!!!!!

We have 1 and about a half ribeyes still, so about 24 ounces, if you don’t come eat any we’ll slice them up with eggs and toast tomorrow!!

 

[Lynne G]

Yum, I do steak and eggs. Little one only gets egg whites, but enjoys steak with her eggs, as much as we all do.

Full and relaxing. Alarm turned off, and now all are enjoying their own screen tonight. Though little one gave older one her hornet buzz trying to kick him off our biggest TV, as game on it is more fun, I guess. No dice, so guess she put her headphones on, and watching smaller screen. She’s a night owl, so I can see her play on it, when older one is done playing with his online friends.

No need to be up early tomorrow. Yet, most likely I will be up early. Difference is, another day to take my time getting out of bed. We have a pick up to do tomorrow, as well as hoping to go to the little zoo for a bit. Will see what little one wants to do. Good thing, even with close to holiday hours, mall not open until 11, and zoo at noon. Thus, better chance of little one being ready to go, and will get a happy kid, as by the time we go out, the breakfast menu will not be available at most takeout places. Expectation with being out is that lunch is included.

With a cup of tea in my hand, seems like the food channel is okay to watch. Be good homies. Best part:


Woot!

And a light for those that need it tonight. Could be dreaming of sugar plums, just saying.

 

[Charade67]

It's finally finished.

 

[Lynne G]

Very cute puzzle Charade.

Well, little one got the tv about an hour and 1/2 ago. Still going strong on it. Mom hollering may commence as it nears the clock saying midnight is here.

 

[Charade67]

3:00 a.m. Can't sleep. Thankfully Disney XD is running a Phineas and Ferb marathon.

 

[Realfoodfans]

Morning all. Saturday at last. Glad to get up after restless sleep but a peaceful house so Louie and I have enjoyed the stroll of the perimeter and morning routines and now on the sofa with coffee, tree lights on and a movie nobody else would want. Hope everyone else wakes to a peaceful morning.

 

[Realfoodfans]

3:00 a.m. Can't sleep. Thankfully Disney XD is running a Phineas and Ferb marathon.

I used to give in and get out of bed but now I put my ears in and listen to a radio drama or story in the hope of drifting off. Hope you get back to sleep soon.

 

[Lynne G]

Ah, hope both Charade and Julie get a better night’s sleep tonight.

Yep, I like a quiet morning house. Well, other than the heater and wash noise. And remote, as like hearing and watching whatever I fancy. And yes, dog next to me would enjoy. And did, for many years.

As routine is week day, so is the weekend. Up around 15 minutes after the alarm would have gone off. Made some tea, tossed in the laundry, and under a throw watching our biggest tv. Only time I usually get to watch what I want. Last night, as house felt a bit cool, made some shortbread cookies. I have such a small kitchen, the oven heats it up nicely. And smelt good as the cookies baked. Went well with my tea last night, and this morning too. While little one is not much of a cookie eater, she must have eaten quite a few, as I thought I made more than I saw this morning, after I ate some last night. I don’t think older one likes that kind as much, as I saw him with Oreos last night.

And so, a Saturday is here. Thus, to all the
homies:




Good Morning.

Sunny start, yay!

View on the way home yesterday. My family refers to it as “God’s fingers”. At this stage of the game, I’ll take whatever blessings come my way.
Got cleared for the revision, oral surgery yesterday by ENT. Now, as long as they don’t shut down surgies by 2nd week of Dec again, I’m golden

And sometimes, I get annoyed when clearly, the person behind me does not measure distance very well. Stink eye one time, as way too close for my comfort. Tried to move further up. One time, he was so close, hit me with his cart, twice. That got a stink eye and comment. But glad most of the time, other people respect their fellow person.

Same experience in grovery store yesterday but open carry county, i kept my yap shut lol


Lynne - i’ve Been picking slow shipping from amazon & racking up the video credits. Other stuff maybe taking a day or so extra but i’m Scratching my head re NEX/navysupply. Do you order from them often, I don’t but some good deals this year.

A microwave I bought in a hurry end of August is powerful but not big enough to rotate a 9 X 13 casserole, driving me nuts. Found a nice, big one & ordered early last week Expected receipt was two days. Via Fed Ex tracking:

Originated from some town in the midwest,
Atlanta, GA,
Charlotte, NC,
Hamptom, VA,
Either flew or drove past me & now sitting in Ohio

McKRose - how’s the injection regimen going?

Good luck with the ENT and enjoy the drive.......oh we could have chatted last night if I`d known you were awake......lol.......

i’m a slow start to the day, family knows to not engage the bear until she’s had two cuppa coffee

I'm a little scared to know what's going on in my mind. My dreams are almost always weird, but only occasionally do I have a scary dream.

Free your mind they say. IDK think I need to keep a lid on mine lol

She started fall semester as a junior. I'm not really trying to rush her through, but if she is able to graduate next spring we will save a year of room and board fees.

Wow, that’s impressive

Dualit hand mixer is really light and does the jobs I need it for.

Never heard of that brand, will check it out

they have a lot of kids that are still not even turning their computers on and if they do they check in for the class and walk away or do other things. The school system did not make it mandatory for the kids to turn on their cameras and as a result the teachers can't tell if the students are actually tuned into the lecture.

GD’s teachers were pulling out hair. Kids wearing jammies, wandering away, eating on camera...one even playing their Switch. From what I gather a big issue is clueless parents randomly popping in on the video feeds to ask quite personal questions.

I am not sure of the model but I think it is the 9 speed one

Don’t think the one I looked at was that fancy, will go back & check it out

Martin was the "bad" guy at the beginning of Chernobyl, Anatoly Diatlov, who didn`t believe the worst could possibly happen and made the men go look into the core which of course sent them to their death, which would have happened anyway, but he was so arrogant. We hated him......lol......but, love him in Friday Night Dinner.......

I’ve been wondering too lol. It was such a good mini series, a real ‘horror’ film IMO

Selection of charcuterie and one of the gravalax packs that arrived today from Scotland.

I would kill for ‘good’ salmon right now. Bought a vac pac of the thinly sliced stuff a bit ago. Couldn’t find the same brand I usually get. It was so mushy, yuck.

Dlpn tell your boys don’t get caught when they tp.

Mine only did that to friends....
It was a sign of popularity.

Same here, a rite of passage for senior athletes

Lynne, I buy Aquafina because it’s always on sale.

That’s premium stuff here lol. I get some crystal something or other, usually $2.99

Yep, Mac, we have good tap water, as not from the City. So, mostly only buy water bottles when kids go out.

Same, thankfully no city water here either. Ours is quite hard, tough on hair & mineral content can interact with some detergents & cause clothes to get a rust colored hue. However, it does taste delicious. Comes from a dep underground river, below the Allegheny.

It's finally finished.

Ooh, i like that one.[/QUOTE]

 

[Lynne G]

Keisha’s alive! Yeah, I have heard of packages going in a loop of doom, until complaint made, human then involved, and either found and given or asked for return for credit. Luckily, I have gotten all what I ordered mostly on the time said. Though with USPS, what is said is to have been delivered, may be the next day is the actual day delivered. I also find a more than one piece ordered, it comes in more than one package, all arriving at differing times.

Up next, more tea. Yay!

 

[Lynne G]

Oh, and yes, Keisha, have ordered from the Nex. No issues. Though have not ordered from them since before the shutdown. I would go for it, if prices are good.

 

[Realfoodfans]

We got to see the baby - wet but coat on and in a shelter. Sadly not allowed to purchase usual animal food so after a walk round and butcher items bought we headed to a very long drive through queue for McFlurry for L & J. I would have loved one but resisted.

Home now and being held hostage in the play room by a 6 year old with lots of glitter!

Lovely picture! yes, we all need a few blessings right now......and wonderful news again on the surgery going ahead!

You`d love this smoked salmon......proper Scottish salmon......fresh and tasty and not greasy.....just a nice texture. We`ve ordered from another firm for years, but they sold a lot of their business and quality went downhill. This crowd we have seen their name around a lot and decided to give them a try, glad we did.

I loved NYC water straight from the tap. I was surprised how nice it was......I expected the pond water that is on offer on Florida.....bleurgh....but it was a nice surprise.

I`ve been told I`m far too bright and bubbly in the morning for my own good......lol......but always enjoy a nice cup of tea bright and early.

Cute picture realfood.......glad you had a nice day.




Well, so much going on today for us........

Got up bright and early and Kyle got his car and it is a whopper! Although it`s his thrid of this vehicle.....there`s always something special about a brand new one. So many differences from the last two of the same model as new updates tend to have, nicer dashboard, abient lighting and so on.....it was odd being in the Mercedes showroom when it was more or less empty, it`s normally buzzing.

He drove it home, then we had our turns....nice!

He has the next week off on vacation time, so I`m guessing he`ll ramp up the miles then too. Fun day......

Having a glass of champagne tonight to celebrate the new vehicle.....and enjoyed Indian takeout too.

Getting used to quiet Saturday nights now. Need to try and organise a quiz on zoom sometime, get some friends together for that......

Hope everyone`s good......

 

[Charade67]

Taking a break from some pre holiday and vacation house cleaning. I did a little shopping this morning. Both Walmart and Kroger had toilet paper in stock.

I used to give in and get out of bed but now I put my ears in and listen to a radio drama or story in the hope of drifting off. Hope you get back to sleep soon.

I usually get up and so to my recliner. I try to not wake up dh. He can sleep through thunderstorms, but we will wake up if I breathe too loud.

Ah, hope both Charade and Julie get a better night’s sleep tonight.

Thanks Lynne. I'm trying not to nap today so I might sleep better tonight.

Pretty view.

Expected receipt was two days. Via Fed Ex tracking:

Fedex used to be the best shipper, but lately it seems like they have been having a lot to troubles. One of my friends is still waiting on something she ordered on November 5.

Wow, that’s impressive

I encouraged her to take some classes over the summer since we were all pretty much stuck at home. I thought she would just take 1 or 2. Instead she took a full semester.

Ooh, i like that one.

Thanks. I figured I couldn't go wrong with books and cats.

We got to see the baby - wet but coat on and in a shelter.

Aww....so cute.

I suppose I should get back to cleaning.

 

[Realfoodfans]

@schumigirl glad the new car arrived safely and everyone got a drive. We collected my new one 5 days before the first lockdown. Expected to be doing many miles but of course not our usual days out and weekends away so wow that mileage is still low.

All watching Strictly now with ..... chocolate. Will not be late to bed as have lots of reading to enjoy.

I just read back some posts and missed your post with the question.......yes, I have altered the direction of a dream. And more than once got myself out of a dream, or went back into one if you know what I mean........it`s weird. Some folks think it`s odd, but definitely possible.......hope you don`t have too many nasty dreams. It`s quite unsettling at times.......

Yes, I can sleep through the phone ringing beside me, but Tom breathes louder than normal and I`m shaking him to be quiet.......lol.....

Yes, nice puzzle, like it.




Thanks realfood.......yep, loving the car. I expect a few chauffeur driven rides this week coming, looking forward to it. Yes, lockdown has certainly cut the mileage of a lot of people this year. Kyle thinks he won`t be back in the office till March/April which will be a year. He`ll be glad to get back I think, the social side of work is so important.

This new car of his has done around 230 miles today already, I`m guessing many more by the end of his week off.......enjoy Strictly, never did get into that show....but it`s so popular.

 

[Lynne G]

Yay for that new car smell. Congratulations to Kyle for a new car.

Cute baby, Julie. Too bad no feeding today, but at least kids got to see baby.

Picked up item, and did some shopping. Some stores, people were better at distancing than others. Did get lunch, ate in car. Still cannot see need to eat inside, nor drinking inside either. All that was bought was just right, and got the one of 2 items requested by older one. The other stuff he was interested in, go on sale tomorrow, so soon be done with him. And what little one wanted was sitting on porch when got home. Item said what it was on the outside, but thankfully little one did not see that. Now in a Christmas bag, with tissue blocking any seeing. Closet is getting full soon, and that’s a good thing. Then just a few other things needed.

Thinking zoo tomorrow. As doing the turkey and other food drop, so cook has it ready for Thursday. Hence, zoo kinda on the way to that food drop home.

Ah yes, thinking of making mac and cheese or order pizza. Snacking on some chocolate and tea after that ooh, need a break. Little one took a shower and needs to chill some too. Wants to see what in other mall, so will be out and about later, and thus, most likely pizza, as can pick up on way home.

Hope all the homies have a nice Saturday evening.

 

[macraven]

He has put on 230 miles on the car?
I’m still on the tank of gas in my car from Sept 5

I’m settling for a pot of chili simmering away, cornbread in oven & the the mr heading out for takeout as not his jam

He drove it home, then we had our turns....nice!

Nice, indeed !

Thanks Lynne.....he loves it. Oh we enjoyed eating in restaurants before the lockdown.....tables were well spaced apart and everything adhered to, felt safer than wandering round stores and malls where we are.

But, everyone has their comforts. Enjoy the pizza......

He has put on 230 miles on the car?
I’m still on the tank of gas in my car from Sept 5

lol.....well the dealership is not very close to us, but then we just drove around and didn`t notice how far we`d gone.......think he`ll be filling it with petrol tomorrow morning......well, he has barely spent a penny on fuel since April apart from social things......no journey`s to the office has saved a fortune.......

So cute but not sure what species lol

I wish I liked chilli......my sister claims to make the best chilli around, but not for me....cornbread however.....lush!!!

Glad youse liked the pictures of the car....he is proud of it, a family member who shall remain nameless asked why he had bought three brand new cars in a row the same....doh! There`s always one......




Think it`ll be an early night tonight for us......and not just because of the champagne....honest!
