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

[macraven]

First let me say I thank you for the pms checking on me
Much appreciated.

Believe my covid arm is much better as no longer itchy as heck
And got the car into the auto body shop this morning.
The car can be repaired but the deer will never get his head back on.
Looking at a week to get the work done

We have two cars so no rental needed.

My Taco Tuesday was last night.
So good!

Have had cold nights but ok weather once it is near noontime.
Some of my flowers are budding or blooming.

Another surprise for my wife showed up today!!!

Ok I give up...
I know one gift is the special Mickey band and guessing the other is a mask
?

They both are lovely and make a “ wow” surprise gift!

 

[Charade67]

I just typed a long post with several quotes and somehow managed to delete the whole thing.



Major ouch on both toe stories. Mine isn't nearly as dramatic. I smashed my toe on a step in the pool at Great Wolf Lodge. Turned an interesting shade of purple.

Keisha - Last time we lost power was in the middle of summer. Wehad to leave town to get some relief. I went several places looking for ice melt yesterday. Finally found some at a local farm store.

Schumi - My favorite MHC book is Remember Me. It was kind of weird reading it. One of the characters is named Scott Covey. I have a friend named Scott Couey, so I kept picturing him whenever I read the character's name.

Paris- I had come here to post about wine day but you beat me to it.

Mac - Glad to hear you are felling better and the car will be okay.

Our sleet has stopped and I think we are getting freezing rain now.

Hi Mac, just one item, it’s the box and the band.

 

[J'aime Paris]

And while we are ready for the snowy weather, sending prayers and good thoughts to all those in Texas. So sad to hear of no power, no clean water, and pipes bursting. Hugs to all those suffering such terrible conditions in the cold.

It's so horrible, I hope they get relief soon

Aw, not fair...lynne got the child.

OMG, that meme!

The child is happy to say hi to all...and share some cookies!!

Shopping arrived this morning and forgot I`d added this little gem to try.......

I think we may like it being pineapple and mango.......

Oh does that look tempting! The endless "beachy drinks" that could be made....

Friday Eve indeed. So ready for the weekend. Where may be doing a quick trip to the little zoo, as this weekend they are having a winter celebration. Yeah, and today with the snow, they too are closed.

We have a super zoo near us, and it's open year round. I've never visited in the winter however. Just cannot seem to bring myself to go when it's cold, even though there are lots of indoor exhibits.

Glad you're feeling better Mac!
Being in a car when it hits a deer is scary! Happened to me many years ago. Glad your car can be repaired!


I finished gym, tan, and one load of laundry. Made dogs food and paid some bills. Second load of clothes going in soon. Had hot ham and swiss for lunch. Now it's time to get back to organizing the tax info....

 

[Lynne G]

Yay! Mac is back. Glad to hear you are okay, and car can always be repaired, people not always. Yeah, hitting a deer is no fun at all. Deer damaged the truck one time. Luckily, DH could still drive it, and was not hurt. Very large bill for that repair. Nice you don’t need a rental.

Oh Paris, I am a zoo member to both close to us zoos, and I am mostly a foul weather member, as I hate crowds and crowds in the heat. With restrictions, both zoos have timed entry, and much shorter hours for the Winter time. The little zoo is just that, smaller than the other zoo we go to. Thought would be fun to see their Winter fun activities and animal talks they are to have this weekend. We will be bundled up, and our walk around it is about 45 minutes. Then we will find a place to get hot food from. Close to a town where many food places. Plus a Starbucks on the way.

Ooh sunny out? Need to tell the younger crew to start the shoveling before the night freeze.

 

[Realfoodfans]

So sorry Mac must have missed the deer post. My iPad has kicked the bucket so reading everything on my phone is a little harder. So glad you are improving and car will be sorted x

 

[Charade67]

Paris, I sympathize with you. I am trying to organize tax records too. I am astounded at how much we spent in medical bills last year.

I'm taking a little break right now then will go look for a document I am missing. Dh is teaching a class right now and is talking very loudly. I need to leave the room.

I haven`t read that one from her, I think because it involved a child. I found the book Stillwatch in one of my bookshelves, I don`t have too many of hers now. I loved the movie of that book. It had Louise Latham in it, who played the cold and distant mother to Marnie, which is one of my favourite Hitchcock movies. It also has Sean Connery in it, if you haven`t ever seen it, it`s worth watching.

Freezing rain is horrible.

It's so horrible, I hope they get relief soon

It does call for something from the beach or poolside......but, decided to go with wine as it is National drink wine day........

Had this one for ages and haven`t tried it yet, so opened it earlier and hope it`s nice as we have another 5 of them.

Lunch sounds so good.......and not a bad little day you`ve had

Good idea to get the kids out shovelling......that is one heck of a lot of snow......




Lasagne was so nice, and so filling. I`m glad I didn`t make any sides to go with it as it was rather a large portion. But, had a small glass of wine to go with it.......will enjoy the rest tonight.

Will be watching NASA tv later for sure.....

 

[Lynne G]

Ooh all the bottles. Like seeing them, Schumi. Went to the state store the other day. Came home with grey goose, and a sparkling wine. May take a sip of that wine tonight.

Will be out shoveling too, soon. Hope the plow went up our street. Yeah, then have to clear the driveway again. Have to see how heavy the snow. We got a nice amount of sleet or freezing rain for a few hours after the snow. Ugh, and 27F out.

A what for dinner? Steak most likely. If DH clears off the deck, grilled steak.

 

[Realfoodfans]

Schumi have you read The Midnight Library - Matt Haig? My book club have chosen it for this time. Not an author I’ve read.

Kev is tuned in to the NASA landing - only minutes to go.

 

[Pumpkin1172]

Making a quick end of the day stop in.

Our weather is finally warming up again. We should be above freezing (we should get to 41F or 5C) by the weekend. I am glad it is finally warming up. We keep hearing news on Texas. Soooo sad. As soon as I heard about the snowfall and temps, I said to DH...they are going to have lots of problems. They are not used to it, or even know tips and tricks to keep warm, stop water pipes from freezing, etc etc etc. All I know is that watching that, makes me very happy our systems are in place where we seldom have power outages, and our power grid can handle winter ice storms, high winds, tornados, and power requirements in the summer with all the air conditioning. We very seldom are without power, for the reason people die when it's cold. It breaks my heart to watch all the videos and tic tocs.

Yeah, I certainly understand why Pumpkin wants her birthdays to be at a very warm feeling beach with a cool drink in her hand.

Yup!!!!! I hate that COLD part of winter when you step outside and it hurts your lungs to breath it's so cold. And your pictures....make me shiver!!!! YIkes....please stay safe!!!

More sad news today. Had heard on news about a Patterdale Mountain Rescue member suffering life changing injuries following a fall during a call out to lockdown breakers in distress. Only just had a call from a close friend to say it is an old colleague of mine and Kev’s from AZ who also took early retirement and moved to the Lake District. Chris Lewis. Absolutely shocking. A fund has been set up to help him going forward.

It is really unfair how life works at times.

Yes, i’d Take a foot of snow over a solid coating of ice. Of which we have here again. My car is encased with an light coating of snow upon it. Just a few more inches of snow here today!

WM delivered two containers of snow melt, four more by the weekend life is good . Believe i bought the last of it in PA, told there is an official shortage. Prefer rock salt, glad to get anything at this point. Ice melt, the new toilet paper, who knew?

Yuck on the snow. That is just NOT fun!!!! Hate it when it storms, and before all the snow removal happens and you have to tredge and drive in all the grossness. Please stay safe!!!!

Making lasagne for dinner for Tom and I. Chicken in a white wine sauce with pasta for the others, they don`t like lasagne. Didn`t get around to making garlic bread, but it`ll be fine on it`s own.

YUM!!!!!! WE have been cutting back on starchy carbs....and Lasagna is a favorite. I have subbed out the pasta noodles for thin sliced zucchini. We do like it like that, but OMG, I could totally go for a big plate of pasta anything and go into a pasta coma lol. Tonight is steak bites with asparagus and mushrooms in the airfryer and salads.

Believe my covid arm is much better as no longer itchy as heck
And got the car into the auto body shop this morning.
The car can be repaired but the deer will never get his head back on.
Looking at a week to get the work done

We have two cars so no rental needed.

My Taco Tuesday was last night.
So good!

I am so glad your starting to feel better. Other of my american friends has also said that the second shot definitely had more side effects. At least you have your shot!!!

Our sleet has stopped and I think we are getting freezing rain now.

Again....GROSSS!!!!! I HATE freezing rain in the winter. It makes everything sooooooooooo dangerous. I know both you and Lynne's areas are prepared for it, but that doesn't make it much easier. Freezing rain SUCKS!!!!

Well, it's almost home time. Have a great evening everyone. Stay safe if your in the cold/snow belt area!!!!!

 

[Lynne G]

Totals are in. 7.3 inches for me and 15 minute drive West of me? 0.3 inches. I should have lived closer to that town, LoL. And, TinyD said 82F where she lives. Should have lived closer to her too. LoL

Quite the shovel out. After came in, took a long hot shower as cold and sweaty at the same time. Boy that shower felt good.

Steak on grill, yum. Made a salad to go with it, yum. Then ice cream with caramel sauce. Full feeling and sipping cup of tea.

Pumpkin, yep, we have all season tires and AWD drive on our vehicles. Snow shovels and winter clothes. And yep, rarely loose power. I feel so bad for those who lost a loved one and those still suffering from the cold and snow in Texas.

Even though dug out, not going anywhere. As we shoveled a steady, light rain. Now that it’s dark, I assume slippery roads. If I go out, will be around lunchtime tomorrow, when the temps are the highest, even though below freezing, and roads should be passable.

And a woot woot!


Have that perfect dreaming night with a deep sleep to make you refreshed waking up on Friday. Good night homies.

 

[keishashadow]

Some days you just need Burger King

Friday Eve indeed. So ready for the weekend. Where may be doing a quick trip to the little zoo, as this weekend they are having a winter celebration. Yeah, and today with the snow, they too are closed.

Ours finally reopens march 1st. Closed since pre xmas

No treatment just taped to the next toe but x-ray showed I had an additional bit of bone in there. Had to go to work in slippers for a couple of weeks!

Not that i’m A klutz or anything but, have managed to break most of my toes at least once. Yes, taping usually does the trick if no blood lol. It’s when they’re dislocated that the trip to ER is necessary. Many have told me they handle themselves, just can’t bring myself to give it a good tug to set it right.

Believe my covid arm is much better as no longer itchy as heck

Great news! That had to be quite annoying

The car can be repaired but the deer will never get his head back on.

Not even gorilla glue?JK so happy to hear mr mac is safe & sound. That’s such a traumatic experience. Good luck on a speedy repair job

Major ouch on both toe stories. Mine isn't nearly as dramatic. I smashed my toe on a step in the pool at Great Wolf Lodge. Turned an interesting shade of purple.

Keisha - Last time we lost power was in the middle of summer. Wehad to leave town to get some relief. I went several places looking for ice melt yesterday. Finally found some at a local farm store.

Doesn’t have to be dramatic to hurt, ouch. Hmm, i had tried auto parts store, never thought of feed store. Will file that away for next time. My middle DS ventured out to $ store for more mucinex. Spied the last 2 bags of rock salt & shared one today

OMG, that meme!

The child is happy to say hi to all...and share some cookies!!

Hello, child. What, no frogs??? Thank you for the lovely green cookies

I finished gym, tan, and one load of laundry

It does call for something from the beach or poolside......but, decided to go with wine as it is National drink wine day

Patriotic duty

They are not used to it, or even know tips and tricks to keep warm, stop water pipes from freezing, etc etc etc. All I know is that watching that, makes me very happy our systems are in place where we seldom have power outages, and our power grid can handle winter ice storms, high winds, tornados, and power requirements in the summer with all the air conditioning

So true. Stunning lack of compassion to the disasterous situation. Appears many of the wealthy got well out of dodge until it blew over, same as it ever was.

It’s rather shocking to see residents telling others to ‘man up’ and not to worry about this happening yet again/system being updated when this all over.

Steak on grill, yum. Made a salad to go with it, yum. Then ice cream with caramel sauce. Full feeling and sipping cup of tea.

That does sound very good indeed. Pulled some rock hard frozen steaks out of deep freezer today. Have a hankering for Swiss steak, will make saturday. Tomorrow, something shrimp based i think

Have a good, warm night all

 

[Realfoodfans]

Morning all. Cold here this morning - didn’t help that I was still in my nightie and dressing gown doing the perimeter walk with Louie! Quick game of ball with him and then time for coffee number one.

Took advantage of being on my own to watch a programme about grief that I recorded as I know I still struggle with this and don’t want to upset Kev and Em so that was watched and glad to see so many different ways to deal with loss - I have things everywhere - positive reminders and nothing but positive memories and realise how lucky I am.

Now onto one of my cookery programmes.

I have bought taco shells - never used them before - and will be making a spicy meal tonight. That’s a SANS influence I just didn’t have them on a Tuesday.

Hope temperatures improve for everyone and all heading to a peaceful weekend.

 

[schumigirl]

A what for dinner? Steak most likely. If DH clears off the deck, grilled steak.

Thing about sparkling is, once it`s opened you have to drink it all, those fizz holders are rubbish.....we find it so odd over here you have to go to a special place to buy alcohol. We do have specialist wine, spirits and liquor places, but basically we can get alcohol anywhere.

Schumi have you read The Midnight Library - Matt Haig? My book club have chosen it for this time. Not an author I’ve read.

Kev is tuned in to the NASA landing - only minutes to go.

No, not a fan.

Making a quick end of the day stop in.

Hey pumpkin, glad you`re warming up over there, it`s pretty miserable being as cold as where you are.

I found it funny the first time I heard someone say lasagne noodles.....I was like....what????? ....noodles are for chinese stir fry, like chow mein.....we call them lasagne sheets....again, another variation of our languages.

I`m not really a pasta fan, but lasagne is one dish I enjoy. Good for you with the courgette strips.......zucchini to you....lol......

Have a great weekend pumpkin.......

lol....good meme for Lori!!

Oh I don`t know I could do that either with toes....or anything! My sister is a self admitted klutz...she really does fall over fresh air! i`ve lost count how many times she`s broken the same ankle....

Patriot......hmmmmm........yes, I like that. It`s my patriotic duty to keep Australian, Argentinian and Californian winemakers in business......




Sat up far too late last night watching all the chatter from Perseverance landing and all the after excitement. Listening to the experts is fascinating, and yet again, another almost 1am to bed. Loving all of this from NASA. Happy to admit to being a family of Space/science geeks!

Boring cereal breakfast of rice krispies this morning. I soaked diced beef in ale overnight and popped it in the slow cooker this morning with beef stock and bits and pieces. Will do creamy mashed potato and steamed carrots to go with it for dinner tonight. Might make an apple crumble for dessert.

Popping out this morning just for some fresh air.....it`s very breezy but not too cold, so might head out for shore walk.....or we might not. I`m definitely missing meeting up with friends......but, that`ll come back. Zoom chats are are good alternative though.

Have a wonderful and happy Friday ​

 

[Lynne G]

Do it! Happy Friday dance! Woot!

Good Morning to Julie and Schumi.

Julie, yes there is always many ways to mourn. The only right way, is how you want to. Hugs. Memories are sweet reminders of those we keep in our hearts. Some of my mom’s things are on my bureau. They make me smile.

Schumi, we can buy beer and wine anywhere, but my state controls the purchase of hard liquor. You can only buy hard liquor in a store owned by the state. At that state store, you can also buy wine. And I found a neat device that reseals the wine bottle, so I haven’t had to drink up a whole bottle of sparkling wine once opened. It was quite nice to sip a small glass of it cold. May try more of it this weekend. And if you are looking for wine, the state store sells many more wines than the public stores. Funny, my mom did not like Australian wines. I’m not much of a wine drinker. I tend to like a light colored one, and sweeter too.

Ah yes, the day after the storm. A bit sore from all that shoveling, and happy, though my work is open, not to be communicating in the very dark and cool morning. 27F out. Close to freezing is our high. Some cold days to follow too. And that stupid snow chances are again today. Maybe an inch to 3 inches. I hope I see none. Had my share yesterday. LoL

Aww, a Louie walk and dog fun had by Julie. And Schumi’s home smelling good with dinner entree cooking away. Me? Screen working and happy it’s a Friday. Not sure what any of my meals are to be today. I do have tea. So there’s that. Off to see what for breakfast. Could see if any cereal around, like Schumi had. Eh, maybe toast with butter and jelly.

That Fabulous Friday homies! Get up and dance, it’s good for ya to get a wee bit of exercise, and well, it is a Friday.

What brand is it Lynne?

I`ve tried several to keep the fizz, but none have worked. Lenny in Strong Water Bar gave us the best advice....told me not to bother....just drink the bottle darling

I have sent a glass of prosecco back once or twice from places that use them, none have been as fizzy as they should be. But, being honest, no, we`d probably just drink the bottle between us while it`s fresh.

Yes, we do find it odd over here you can`t buy anything like hard liquor regularly in any store.

We love Australian wine, it suits our palate. But, there are so many varieties and regions, they vary so much before you even start on types of grapes and blends. Maybe she didn`t try a nice one. We do tend to buy from wholesalers and our wine clubs/sites. Each to their own Lynne.....I tease my niece she drinks sugared water as she likes a sweet Rose.......not for me.

Is that worst of your weather over now or is there more forecast for you? Seeing some of the snow all over America right now is scary. Texas is quite the sight.

Enjoy that tea and stay warm today.....





We did go out, but we didn`t go walking along the shore......it is wild here! Although seems to be calming down a little now.

Shrimp and pinepple salad for lunch, got some lovely arugula when we were out. Will go lovely together I think.

No idea what to be up to this afternoon.......

 

[Realfoodfans]

Lynne I feel sorry for Kev that I can have very little alcohol these days. He does not like to drink alone so rarely drinks at the moment. Sometimes I will say I’ll just have a glass to keep him company and I just have a few sips. One of the things that upsets my system the most. Never been a regular drinker though.

Winds are building up here but keeping the rain away. Think we will venture out for a walk now in case that changes.
