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

[keishashadow]

Didn’t even feel the vaccine, thank you to my ‘padding’

We didn't do very well with Smuggler's Run. Brown Derby is dh's favorite Disney restaurant. He insists we eat there every time we go.

Smugglers run can be a nightmare of a bump fest if u get the wrong pilots. We’ve skipped it out last few visits for that reason

never have done brown derby. Usually the mr will
At least eat (over priced) filet if nothing else moves him. He took one look at the pics online of it and begged off. What do like there? The grapefruit cake intrigues me

Ack, 6 o’clock news saying 9 inches to a foot now. Sigh. Only good thing, warm inside, and we all have good cold winter clothes and snow boots. Shovels are out next to our door. Saying snow should be here Sunday evening. So what did older one say? We should order pizza around 4pm for an early dinner. Gotta love him.

haha he has his priorities in order

We pretreat hard surfaces. If it’s that nice, light fluffy stuff, whip out our leaf blowers & have at it I call it snow blower light The mr thot I lost my mind the first time I suggested it. Notice a few neighbors have followed our lead lol

They bumped our total up too, not as bad As your forecast. Saying a much earlier start too, middle of tonight vs tomorrow now Kicking myself for not pulling off bypass on way home to pick up an online order at target. Just hope I’ve doesn’t form first

 

[Lynne G]

Yeah, l live in that corridor that gets the brunt of the storm when it’s a nor’easter, Keisha. With the foot total or near it, the City will be a mess. My township, will have plows out as soon as streets starting to get covered enough.

Now saying will start earlier in the afternoon. May tell older one, pizza lunch and not early dinner. Will be watching outside. Big box store opens at 9am. Will be there when it opens. Will take a kid to divide and conquer, to out of there fast.

Ah, snow romping will be seen as more than an inch an hour to fall by mid morning Monday. Me, will watch the neighbor kids have fun in snow. Doubt either of my kids will be out there. Though they will be good kids and help shovel and clear off cars when all the snow done.

Smugglers run can be a nightmare of a bump fest if u get the wrong pilots.

Dh and I were the pilots. We were awful. It also didn't help that we were only half staffed.

 

[keishashadow]

Dh and I were the pilots. We were awful. It also didn't help that we were only half staffed.

I’m sure you will get better with practice?

Going to guess you’re not a gamer. I rarely play any longer. When anybody asks for my thoughts on the ride, find it easiest to describe ‘being in’ Star Wars Squadron/that sort of video game.

 

[Charade67]

Going to guess you’re not a gamer.

Nope. Not at all. I think we would have been better off with different pilots, Dh as a gunner, and I have no idea what B and I should have done. I don’t even know what the third position did.

The snow has begun.

 

[Realfoodfans]

@Charade67 I totally agree with your Mum on the prep - plus (after 7 colonoscopies) always a part can’t be reached on me. Hope the scan goes well.

 

[Realfoodfans]

Morning all. Hope a peaceful Sunday for everyone.
Early up with Louie and the most beautiful sunrise - little things.
L is in bed with her mummy and just messaged down - what are we having for breakfast Nanna! Oatcakes and grilled cheese it will be very shortly when my early movie finishes. Penguin Bloom with WD actor Andrew Lincoln.
Have promised another Disney Monopoly game when all fed and dressed. Turning into quite the competition!

Heard from friend in Perth, Australia, and they had one case test positive and immediately into 5 day lockdown - so efficient a move hope they contain it.

Time for that breakfast.

 

[Lynne G]

Aw, yep that walk with Louie when a peaceful morning, is nice Julie. Hehe, always like that when I get that what are we eating questions. We are still in a lockdown, but other than masks, the places I have been in, seems most are back to not keeping 6 feet away. And I’ve given looks and moved away quite often now. Just because a few have gotten the shots, don’t understand. We still try to limit the time indoors when we have to go out. And while indoor dining and the movie theaters have limits on number of people, both I will not do. And with this time of year, any outdoor dining is too uncomfortable for me. Even when I do get the shot, I think my routine of wearing a mask, trying to stay not to be close to people, and keeping hand sanitizer in purse and car will be routine for a long time.

And a very dark and cold start to our morning. And 25F out, lightly snowing. Sigh. But the weather guy did say the little bit of snow now, is not that much, and we will have a dry morning, until the bulk of the storm starts arriving in the early afternoon. Hence, will be out and back before the afternoon. Hoping whatever pizza place the kids want to order from, will be open, and the roads clear and not scary driving when we are ready to pick it up at lunchtime. Many of our pizza places don’t open until later in the day.

But yay!



Yep, and I’m sure Schumi will drink to that tomorrow.

Lastly, hope the snow is done falling for Charade, Mac still having family in the park fun, and hope Julie’s grandkids are having fun and ready for some lunch.

Yep, and tea for me, with that ever quiet home. Off to make some pancakes. Yeah, neither kid is up, but pancakes are easy to reheat.

Its a Sunday homies. A sweet and happy one to all the homies. Good Morning and Good Afternoon. ️

 

[Charade67]

Woke up way too early today. I’m trying to decide if I should start doing something productive or try going back to sleep. Plans for today are doing some laundry and start organizing the documents I need for income tax purposes.

Real - Unfortunately I have already had experience with colonoscopies.Because of my mom’s history I started getting them earlier than most people. I think I am due for another in December. I think it will be my fourth.

Lynne - Snow is still falling here. Here is a pic I took from my living room window this morning.

 

[keishashadow]

Just a light dusting So far heredowngraded forecast to 2-4 inches accumulation by the end of the day. I’m almost tempted to hit up the grocery store

if anyone says they enjoy the colonoscopy prep, they seriously need their head examined. Still, it’s the best tool in our arsenal to catch it early.

Two of my school classmates were stricken very early, both their 30’s. lovely women who, once symptoms manifested, were too far gone for effective treatment Turns out both had it run in their families. Glad to see testing now routinely offered as an option to younger patients with risk factors.

a good Sunday to all! bacon for breakfast, a cake & a pot roast for dinner today.

[Charade67]

The snow has stopped. I might go out later and measure.

We went to a different farm store this morning and despite notices everywhere, there are still folks that pay no heed. A quick sharp remark usually moves them away. And two people were asked to put their masks on properly.......it never ceases to amaze me why some think rules don`t apply to them.

Looks like you are getting some very cold weather your way....wrap up warm if you go out a walk as usual.....

Pancakes?? Nice......

I think we could make up quite the club of colonoscopy folks on here......I know more that have had them than haven`t. They are so common now for many.

Lovely picture though......looks cold though

Love the meme!

Yes, it`s a scary one if not found early. Too many sad stories out there. My grandma died in the early 70`s from bowel/ovarian cancer. No testing then and sadly found far too late. We are lucky today there are so many that do find it in time.

Hope the grocery store is not so busy if you do make it.......and yes, glad the padding comes in useful now and again......lol.......

Food sounds good as usual.......

Awww...so cute!

We have the New York City Monopoly......haven`t played that one in a long time.....




Busy day today.......

Have a chicken roasting away in the Aga.......doing some parmentier potatoes and usual selection of veg.....it`s been a cold and sunny day today, only popped out for a quick visit to a farm store.

Spent some of the day researching a sewing machine as a joint gift from several of us for a friends 50th Birthday at the end of February. Bernina is the one she has and according to her husband who has been trying to quiz her with some subtlety, she wants a replacement of a similar one. So, muggins here was volunteered to find one suitable......I know nothing of sewing machines so have purloined a few ideas from other friends of the best one they do.

It is starting to get a little lighter in the the evenings now.....this time a few weks ago it was already getting dark. Always a good sign spring is indeed on the way as Lynne mentioned......will look forward to that.

Hope everyone is good and enjoying a lovely and relaxing Sunday.......

Weather sounds lovely today mac.......enjoy the rest of your day....I never did go to Biergarten when we used to go to Disney......

And yes, would love some newbie posters........

And.....gotcha

 

[Charade67]

Front yard - about 4 inches.


Deck- about 6 inches.


Caspian is not impressed.

 

[Lynne G]

We have snow falling. Older one did shop with me. Let’s just say, we are very well stocked now, including a huge package of wipes that I haven’t seen since before the last Spring lockdown.

Made a large brisket last night, so what was left over was reheated and tossed over mac and cheese, and lunch eaten. Little one added pickle slices with hers.

We most likely won’t do pizza, as cars are now stacked in the driveway, trash cans on the curb, windshield wipers put up so they don’t stick to the windshield. Little one made coffee, so may switch to a cup of that this afternoon.

And a hehe, my SIL posted that her family would be thrilled to have snow to play in. Yeah, I bet that joy is driven by their kid, my 6, soon to be 7 year old, niece.

My kids? Older one finished up his homework and both are enjoying whatever they are playing with their online friends, or talking on phone too.

Ooh, noon weather news says the line between 8 to 12 inches and plus 12 inches is so close to where we live. I am hoping we are on the lower side of those totals. Storm warnings posted until Tuesday afternoon. DH said no way will he try coming home tonight or tomorrow morning, so I guess his mom will enjoy his company a couple more days. He will clear her driveway when the snow stops. Then I guess it will be mostly us three to clear around our home. No matter. Shovels, gloves, hats and boots by the front door. Winter coats in the front closet. And a hehe, older one does not like wearing pants. So got him thermal pants to wear under his shorts. He said, they are fluffy fleecy inside. Good, that should keep his legs warm. I will say, when we shopping earlier this morning, he was not the only guy in shorts. Mind you, it was 25F out. Car reminds me may be icy out. Yeah, thankfully not when we were out.

This afternoon we are at that balmy 27F, with the high, soon to be, 28F. Yep, cold to me, Schumi. Your home must be smelling good with the chicken in the oven. Hope your dinner was delicious.

Charade, I may very well get more snow than you. Even so, you did get snowed on. Hehe, cat does not look happy.

Yay Mac, enjoying MK fun today. Enjoy BOG later today. Yeah, nothing food wise is cheap in the parks. So enjoy reading your live reports.

Cute picture Julie. We have several versions of monopoly, but not that one. We have not played board games in some time. With this inside time, maybe someone will bring one out.

Ah yes, let it snow. Miss Elsa is working overtime. LoL

I guess I'm kinda a newbie on this board. I lurk from time to time. Kinda fell here from reading Caroles Trip Reports.
And I know you used to live not far from WI, Mac!
Glad you are having a fantastic time with your family

And in the spirit of weather...here's mine, lol!! DH didn't get the last of the patio furniture put away in time...so here it sits until spring!

I feel your pain. The TS dining prices at WDW are inordinately excessive for the quality.

My understanding they are pre-plating what few buffets are open, makes sense but, if you only enjoy a few things on the menu

OT thinking a hard no but, does anyone know if there are currently any character meals up & running onsite at Universal?

 

[macraven]

The six things on beirgarden offerings only two thingwe all ate
Pretzel rolls
Lol

I will be at universal on Tuesday
Will
Check them for answering your question
others ate the food and said ick but they were hungry
I waited for the desserts
