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

[Lynne G]

Thanks Buckeev. No need to be on the roads today. Hope you are motoring doing, and all doing well with you and yours.

Guess my phone was right. Afternoon totals of snow, is that my area got 8 inches, and just down the road from me, got 9 inches. My sister got around 6 inches, as she’s much more North than me, and the shore got blizzard conditions and over a foot of snow. And this storm is not only giving lots of snow, but winds are 40 to 45 mph, with gusts in the 55 to 60 mph. Wind chills now in the negative numbers. Sigh.

Older one got home safely. Said the roads are really bad. He’s very tired from working overtime, and helping the store keep the sidewalks and area clear. Tossed off his clothes and just got out of the shower, I think. Finished making my one pan home fries with eggs, peppers and cheese, just as he walked in the door. Was happy to have a hot meal, before he headed to the shower. I think he’s beached for some time before we go out and clear more snow.

When it’s a quiet Saturday, the fact that it’s already mid afternoon is mildly shocking. Time does go fast. Thinking sosteaks on the grill tonight. It will be that dash and check on the steaks every so often, as our grill is on our deck. But easy dinner then, as will nuke some broccoli and have sone leftover pasta will reheat, or toast if rather. But dinner is now hours away, since a late lunch.

Yep, I finally learned to give away most of the oh my, I had that so long, and hardly wear or haven’t worn it anymore. Yep, and my DH never says anything about my clothing purchases. I too think underwear needs to be replaced every so often. And those old items go in the trash. I swear bras get tired after awhile, and nice to have clean undies.

Ah yes, February will be here next week. Yay, we start it off with our wedding anniversary. With the snowy weather, we may be celebrating it later in the week.

I didn't know he had Parkinson's. What a shame

I love to eat fresh ginger. I love it in any form. I actually take ginger capsules every day to help with digestion. I also take ginger chews or candies with me when I travel to help with feeling icky or upset stomach. Nothing like a good, sharp ginger candy to make you feel right with the world.

He recently made a 2 part show talking about his life now, sad to watch but the old Billy is still there and just as funny in a weird way, lives in South Florida now. Love the guy.......watching him in concert live was one of the best experiences. So many just see him as foul mouthed, but he is hilarious......and so observant.

Yep, ginger in any form is gorgeous.......when I was a kid I suffered terribly with travel sickness going anywhere, one of our German relatives gave me a ginger candy and worked wonders..........I was hooked.

Good to see you buckeev......




Yep, red wine and Billy Connolly dvd.....Saturday doesn`t get much better.......

Shoot…
I missed buckeev

Have had a busy day and now the kitchen is calling me to prep the food for dinner

Hope it`s something nice for dinner......and the cats too!!!





I ache from laughing at these Billy Connolly dvd`s......incredibly clever man who happens to be hilarious......very Scottish humour.

Enjoyed some lovely red wine too.......decided we don`t need to go out tomorrow, we have plenty in. Have short ribs ready to pop in the slow cooker overnight cooked in ale and various herbs and spices......they`ll be delicious tomorrow. Will switch it on before we head to bed.

Wind has died down a lot......but, still a little too wild out there for me.

One side of face still looks like a chipmunk, otherwise doing well after the oral
Surgery. He did ask permission to trim up the bone back there, same price? Snip away my friend lol

yesterday, 3hours afterwards was at dr appt just quarter of a mile fromThis site.

https://triblive.com/?jwsource=cl
oddly, little increased traffic even with several major roads there closed, due to president visiting to talk about infrastructure bill. Talk about fortuitous timing.

So glad nobody died. If there hadn’t been a two hour snow delay, that bridge would’ve been full of traffic including school buses as major artery

Ah, snow showers left snow on sidewalks and grassy areas.

Can’t imagine the fun Bostonians wil have with 24 inches

The Sixth Sense

Love

DD texted asking for her momma to come take care of her because she's sick lol. I guess even when your 28 you still want your momma to take care of you lol.

Aw, so true. The GD has been down with a bug. Fully vaxx, 2neg tests this week. Sent her a pick me up, thank you Amazon she, too, loves her some Donald

I have a mandolin somewhere,

The mr got me one for Xmas. Still in box, it looks lethal, I’m scared lol

 

[soniam]

@keishashadow Hope the mouth heals up soon. That sounds like a lot of time to be in the dental chair. Yes, the mandolin is a bit scary. I try to be very careful with sharp items after having a few stupid accidents, like cutting my pinky open with a butter knife DH jokes that I am not allowed to use sharp things if he's not home. I cut my hand pretty deep a few years ago on an avocado. The urgent care said that they get multiple people a day hurting themselves while trying to cut avocados.

 

[macraven]

Healing thoughts for you keisha
That is tough surgery you had

Hope your healing process is smooth.

btw, did the surgeon give you any piece of the tooth to take home?

you could have scored if he did and if you put it under your pillow for the tooth fairy….

It’s kind of in line with last years tooth fairy house ..

 

[macraven]

Ok Sonia
I’ll hide my knives if you ever come over for dinner

I need you in good health and ten fingers as you will be the main bottle washer after we eat…

 

[keishashadow]

That’s the pits They are tough little buggers to handle

& this is why I’ll never be rich…Never seizing the moment

 

[Lynne G]

Well wishes to ya Keisha. Hoping swelling goes down soon. Yeah, that bridge failure was all over the news here. I think the number of bridges we have in PA, it was only a matter of time before a failure. Our record of keeping up the maintenance of them has been not much at all, mostly not until something happens. Was glad to hear no one killed.

Ah, steak was delicious. The weather, is not. The plow came up our street around 4 pm, so out we were to clear the driveway from the plow work. Heavy snow. But as icy rain was before the snow, there’s not much of a blacktop or sidewalk to see. Here’s hoping even with below freezing temps tomorrow, 28 the predicted high, with single digit temp in the overnight. they are saying we will see sun all day Sunday, so that the snow remaining on my car and on the sidewalks and driveway melt away completely. Only good thing, the main road our street empties out to, looks much clearer than our street. Maybe we will try to get out tomorrow.

Tonight, chill time for all. All are tired, and screen watching, though I think older is playing online with his friends. May see if there’s a good movie to watch.

 

[Charade67]

Good evening everyone. I was gong to have a nice lazy day today and not leave the house, but then remembered that we are supposed to bring food to Sunday school tomorrow morning. Off I went to Kroger to buy stuff to make a hash brown casserole.

I heard that today is National Puzzle day, so I started one of the puzzles I got for Christmas. This one has a lot of blue in it.

We are getting no snow here at all and weather has been so mild but warnings of colder weather with high winds in the next few days. May miss us!

No snow is good. I'm ready for spring.

Having a glass or two of Prosecco and a movie I think……..thinking The Sixth Sense, haven’t seen that for a while.

That was a good movie, but I don't know if I could watch it again.

We are heading to the city tonight to visit the kids. DD texted asking for her momma to come take care of her because she's sick lol. I guess even when your 28 you still want your momma to take care of you lol.

Hope she feels better soon.

Happy Saturday. About 3 inches of snow by early this morning.

We got maybe one inch. Most of it has melted already.

It's supposed to be in the 60s here today.

Sounds wonderful.

have been on a bit of an online shopping binge.

I don't know why I always feel guilty about buying new bras that fit.

Sometimes you just need to shop. Don't feel guilty about buying bras. Good supportive bras are a must. Sometimes I luck out and find mine on sale for a really good price so I buy several.

One side of face still looks like a chipmunk, otherwise doing well after the oral
Surgery.

Glad to hear.

Aw, so true. The GD has been down with a bug. Fully vaxx, 2neg tests this week. Sent her a pick me up, thank you Amazon she, too, loves her some Donald

Hope she is feeling better soon. Cute plushie.

My brother went to visit Mom today. Said she looked pretty good despite the circumstances. One major concern is that she has received 4 units of blood so far. Hopefully the pill camera will show what is causing the bleeding.

 

[macraven]

Charade
Hope your mother improves quickly and can return to her home soon

Will the will camera be done soon?

 

[macraven]

Lynne
When in February is your anniversary?
Hope no snow storms so you two can go out and celebrate!

 

[Lynne G]

Mac, the first. We never wanted to be close to Valentine’s Day. Maybe, as Monday is to be the high of one degree above freezing.

Charade, glad to hear mom looks good, and hope that pill shows why she is bleeding.

 

[macraven]

Lynne, hope your weather will be decent so you and your sweety can go out and have a nice dinner to celebrate.

 

[Charade67]

Charade
Hope your mother improves quickly and can return to her home soon

Will the will camera be done soon?

I forgot to ask when it was going to be done. I'll ask my mom tomorrow when I call her.

When I described the tool he used on your mouth, he visibly paled at the description......and this is a man who isn`t bothered by the dentist at all......lol.....

That could have been so much worse with the bridge!

Yes, fabulous movie.....the end has me blubbing every time when they`re in the car talking about her mum......

Hope the little un is doing better now too......everyone loves a care package!

I think horror with dentist talk.......lol......I always think you can tell who has gone through something traumatic with a dentist by their reaction to dental tales.

Mine was a childhood dentist who was known locally as the Butcher........lol....

I thought of you when I saw this one........

That`s so funny.....I just mentioned this to Keisha yesterday, I have a large OXO Mandolin we brought back from Americas a few years ago now.....but Tom won`t let me use it.......and it has the safety holder for whatever you`re cutting......lol......but he also washes it too......just in case I lose a finger!! So, although I say I love my mandolin.....I haven`t used it often personally.......

Avocados can be awkward, but so worth it.....love em!!

I love to watch good movies over again every so often. We went to the cinema when this came out, in the afternoon with about 5 other people dotted about....and I think we were lucky we never knew or guessed the twist until it was revealed......and the others in the cinema were the same as all of us audibly gasped in horror when it was revealed.......first time ever we came out of the cinema with all of us asking each other if we had guessed......no one had.

Hope you get some good news soon about your mum, glad to hear she is doing ok. She`ll be glad to get home.




Wind has died down altogether this morning, but up North lots have lost power and still without it overnight. Another storm hitting today but should be further up in Scotland. Think my mum will get some of it.

Decided to leave the short ribs marinading overnight and have popped them in the slow cooker this morning to simmer away all day. I hate that smell of Ale, but once cooked it`s gorgeous and makes a beautiful gravy.

No plans to go out.....don`t need a thing, so some ironing will be on the agenda today and I might have a rumble through our dvd collection and see if there`s anything else we can clear out.....but, I`m told it`s time to leave them alone, I still think we have far too many.....although if Tom said that about my books......there would be trouble....but that`s different of course

Bacon in a brioche bun for breakfast......lunch will be whatever we feel like at lunchtime.

Have a lovely Sunday ​

 

[Lynne G]

Sunday it is. Clear visibly, can see 10 miles away, on our 11 degree day, with just enough wind to make it feel like 0 out right now. Sunglasses and winter coat and even gloves.

It’s the get the trash out day. And alarm already set.

Yeah after slicing my finger with a large knife, enough I had stitches, no slicer machine for me.

And so, that ever so nice feeling inside. But dry enough heat, it’s good to enjoy some tea.

Super duper Sunday homies. At least you can say it’s the last day of January. And even though the month of love is starting tomorrow, our coldest month of the year it is. Okay, .

 

[keishashadow]

No mas

are you ready for some football?fresh chicken wing shortage back in full force here. Still have a package or two stuffed in deep freeze. Going to go rogue today & make crab cakes. The mr can’t get up soon enough, starved and the slab of bacon in fridge is loudly calling me.

My brother went to visit Mom today. Said she looked pretty good despite the circumstances. One major concern is that she has received 4 units of blood so far. Hopefully the pill camera will show what is causing the bleeding.

she must have a strong constitution to keep on trucking thru this all.

have a large OXO Mandolin we brought back from Americas a few years ago now.....but Tom won`t let me use it.......and it has the safety holder for whatever you`re cutting......lol......but he also washes it too......just in case I lose a finger!!

this one is same brand, smaller than most I’ve seen. Do like how it’s self contained, anything to save some space in my small kitchen Is helpful.

Decided to leave the short ribs marinading overnight

I haven’t had them in years. For some reason, they tend to slice them down very thin In most places here, complete with the bone intact. Not sure how you would cook them in that fashion. few times I’ve made them over the years, it’s been low & slow Sort

When I described the tool he used on your mouth, he visibly paled at the description......and this is a man who isn`t bothered by the dentist at all......lol..

must admit when the tech brought in the ‘special’ tray covered with the drape, I tried to avoid sneaking a peek. wish I had succeeded, some odd looking devices there. I’m glad to not find out what they all could do lol.

Ever see Marathon Man? Breaking out in a nervous sweat thinking about it lol. Worse than Reservoir Dogs.

Yeah after slicing my finger with a large knife, enough I had stitches, no slicer machine for me.

“They” say, the sharpest knives avoid that. I haven’t fully bought into that The mr is obsessed with honing all the blades here. I’m always on alert

Bought him one of those trendy Japanese Cleavers for Xmas. how it came packaged, ornate box with velvet-type of lining meant to house it either boxed up or on display. In the box it will reside here, when did that sort of thing become decor?

 

[soniam]

Up early for me for a weekend, and especially since I was up until 1am. I have a monthly call today with other listeners for a Mission Impossible podcast. There are people on the call from the US and Europe. We talk about all sorts of movies.

It’s supposed to be 70 today and then raining or in the 30s/40s/freezing later this week/next weekend, so I need to ride the Vespa today. Maybe I’ll stop down the road and try this fairly new coffee place. It’s hard to shop with it, since there isn’t much storage. I don’t have many places that I go to now, other than the gym and riding with DS as he practices driving to school in the morning. I don’t like getting my motorcycle clothes sweaty, so riding to the gym is out. I have to come up with places to go on it.
