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

Damn good food…

Does it tend to give u indigestion? I love it but, it doesn’t love my stomach fir some time

 

[schumigirl]

Hey all. A King Kong Kat set off my security alarm at least 8 times last night. Biggest one I’ve ever seen. At first thot it some mutated raccoon hybrid with strange coloring lol. He won’t be long for the world, just too many scary things roaming the woods looking for a free meal.


Good to hear!

Absolutely, the best in their field haven’t been able to rattle him one bit.

Don’t think i’ve ever tried it, regular stream bass yes…it’s good, just can’t say it moved me. same with brook trout, i just ate far too much of it as a child of the stream to table sort, why are we having fish again the 5th time this week complaint During trout season.

the mr hasn’t had a chance to get out in the water this year yet. I tell him to catch & release, just have grown adverse to fish heads & those accusing eyes at this stage of the game.

It’s ironic how now most of us tend to compare their regular ailments to covid and are ‘glad’ To have the former, not the latter

oh geez, I’ve seen those ones literally right above the DTD area & wondered if noisy

you really have to wonder

sinus infections if not totally cleared up, often come back with a vengeance and twice as hard. Keep an eye on it.

That is hysterical, talk about name recognition

Well, enjoy the company and grab a nice bite to eat. It’s been years but, i remember the food was pretty good there. Still?

There is no such thing as bad publicity to a narcissistic actor

In our area we are surrounded by towns, rivers etc. with long names of Indian origin. Able to rattle off the spelling easily in the primary grades. Will freely admit that the spelling of that name has always stumped me

i’m guessing the ‘dreadmill’ (lol love that term) may have loosened up the crud…a good thing?

I meant to mention...the market price for it in Daytona was astonishingly pricey. More than beef filet Perhaps due to not being local catch or in season?

after our shots, we will be ‘celebrating’ the mr’s retirement at McDonald…McDonalds works for me (today). Not especially hungry, think i finally hit bottom after the Easter leftover feeding frenzy

i`m always amazed at how pretty some angry creatures are!

Sea Bass is delicate, not a fish you need to do much with and Tom prefers it plain as it can be as he loves that simple flavour. Yes, our fishmonger heads, tails and side fillets for us. If we get a whole one.....Tom does it......lol......yes, it is an expensive fish, always has been but of course now I think everyone is looking for excuses to upcharge everything. Worth it though.

Tom loves trout in any form. He used to fish many years ago and always enjoyed it but doubt he`d ever go fishing again now. I`m ok with trout now and again but not often for some reason.

Did not know what I wanted for dinner
Quick decision on bbq plate that is a short drive from our house

Damn good food….

I love the sound of your bbq food......can`t wait for some ribs soon!! Hope you enjoyed it......

A shout out to all the homies !
One more day until the weekend
( our weekend begins each Friday)

Isn`t everyday a weekend for us mac........

Does it tend to give u indigestion? I love it but, it doesn’t love my stomach fir some time

Even I love a Dalek!!

Have you watched The Big Bang Theory???

I can sing those words to Sheldon`s Soft Kitty song......lol......you have to have seen it to get it.......

We`re back to starting season 1 again.......funniest show in a long time!




Fog is gone, sun is shining but won`t be overly warm, max 50F for us......so not bbq weather just yet for us.

Planning to do a whole load of housework this morning.....some little jobs that just need doing and horror of horrors ......I spotted a cobweb in our office ceiling yesterday ......er, nope.....so going round every single corner of the ceilings today apart from the stairs as they are just too high and we need a new extender, but everything else will be done and under the beds too which is a regular job anyway....although not one of my jobs.....lol.......

Shrimp and salad for lunch, going to make a honey mustard dressing and dinner is steak.....we were hoping to get the bbq out, but it`s just not going to be warm enough to sit out and enjoy it. So, I`ll griddle it inside, will still be lovely.

So, a very quiet, dull and boring day of housework, but it has to be done.....I`ll be ready for a cocktail tonight!!

Love that Friday feeling........

Have a wonderful and fun Friday ​

 

[macraven]

Good sunny Friday to all

Get ready for warmer temps this weekend !

 

[Lynne G]

Yes I’m so ready for nice weather. And an absolutely gorgeous sunny day. Yay. Friday is here. Traffic was so annoying, but car dropped off and an iced coffee pick up on way beck home. Car shop did not look that busy, so hoping my car is done by the time we drop off older one, in another hour.

Oh and headache generally gone. But sound like I have a sore throat, but I don’t. Just feel like my sinus areas making me feel dull. Did talk with my doctor this morning. She said sounds like a sinus symptoms she sees with allergies, and try to use allergy medicines. To call her Monday, to see if it’s more of an infection, and not just more of an allergic response. So, more of older one’s pills. I didn’t think I had such allergies, but as allergies are to come and go, though my two family members with allergies have had them life long so far, I guess I could be allergic to something in the air. Eh, either way, thankful I’m feeling better today.

Happy Friday Dance TGIF I am very happy that it's Friday today. It feels like it has been a very long week.

The kids are coming sometime today. I finished a few things last night for gd to play with for her baby/doll. I still gotta whip up some fresh playdough for her to play with as well. It's always fun to have that around. I don't buy that...as it is horrible stuff that dries out so fast and crumbles and just makes a mess. The fridge and pantry are stocked with a few treats she likes to eat.

It will be a coordinated schedule with my car in the shop.

It's always fun jostling out vehicles and schedules. It's good to hear that your starting to feel better. I'll keep sending you positive healing thoughts.

Have you watched The Big Bang Theory???

It's a favorite show in our household.

Well, I should go track down some paperwork and start the daily shuffle. It's not a normal day here today, new overhead cranes are being installed, so it's a little crazy with trying to get around working crews and load material for customers.

Have a great day everyone!

Can I come and visit you?? We were warm and sunny today, tomorrow....dull and cool........

Hope you have a lovely weekend with the family pumpkin......I`m sure little one will love what you have made for her....exciting weekend ahead for you.

I think we quote Sheldon/Penny and co more than any other show now.....especially......that`s my spot......





We did manage to do a load of housework today between the two of us.....found some pictures in frames we forgot about so got them hung up in different rooms. And we managed to grill the steaks outside on the BBQ.......lush!!! Made up a few sides including potato salad which I thought I had made too much of, but it disappeared!

Sun is still shining but we are inside now watching the unusual qualifying at the Imola Grand Prix, very different on some weekends......don`t enjoy this way of racing, but heyho......

Going to have a lovely gin and lemonade later in a very large glass.....or an aquarium on stems as my son calls some of our glasses!!!

Wonderful Friday!!!

 

[Pumpkin1172]

Oh my dog....is it 4:30 yet!!!!

This is one Friday where I am ready to head home. It could be worse...where I am slammed and not know what task is more important to get done. So I'm grateful for a quiet day

 

[macraven]

Enjoy the weekend Pumpkin!

I am glued to the tv watching CNN

It was getting so uncomfortable in my house, way too warm for me, couldn’t deal with it

Looked at the climate control on the wall and saw it was set at 77… for heat
Changed that baby to 72 for ac

 

[macraven]

What is even sadder is I waited until 35 minutes ago to switch from heat to ac

It will take a full hour to cool my house down.

lol.....I`m not jealous.......we had our heating turned up last night........kept having to remind myself it`s April, almost the end of April and it`s cold outside.





But, beautiful sunny morning although not the warmest of days. Enjoyed some lovely bacon for breakfast earlier.

Just back in from collecting some dollars and then ordered some flowers for someone for next week. Our village flower shop is tiny, but they do beautiful displays and always seem to look much more expensive than they actually cost.

Out for dinner tonight, just us tonight which will be lovely, going to our favourite pub where the food is exceptional and we always get the same table whenit`s just us which is beside the huge open fire, so if it`s still cold tonight it`ll be lit......lovely.

Think this`ll be a lovely quiet and peaceful day not doing much at all except some F1 viewing.

Have a fabulous Saturday and weekend

Happy Saturday. I had a nice day at Busch Gardens yesterday, The weather was perfect and the park wasn't very crowded. As predicted, we didn't ride any rides. Instead we did a couple of animal encounters. First we learned about Clydesdale horses. They told us that Anheuser-Busch is very particular about the Clydesdales that they use in advertising. They have to be a certain size and have a certain look. Some of the ones that don't make the cut go to the theme parks to educate the tourists. This is Eddie.



While we were there we also got to play fetch with a border collie and feed some sheep.

Next up was the wolf encounter where we got to feed the wolves from a very safe distance. I've done this event 3 times and each time it has been different.



We also saw an Irish dance show, did sone shopping, and just walked around the park so my friend could see what it is like. Since she can't ride many rides I suggested she come back when they do Christmastown and have lots of shows.

On the way home we stopped at The Cheesecake Factory in Richmond. I have half of my meal and cheesecake in the refrigerator right now. I will probably have it for dinner tonight.


Today I am meeting with B and we are going to start taking some of her stuff home. I thought it would be easter to make a couple of trips and start bringing home the stuff she won't need for the rest of the semester rather than try to cram everything into my small car the day the dorms close.

I suppose I should get up and start bing productive, although I really don't have anything I need to do until I go see B. Maybe I will have a mostly lazy Saturday.

I hope that everyone who has been feeling sick is well on the road to recovery now.

Clydesdales are from my original neck of the woods......you have some genuinely massive horses that are just incredible.....beautiful though and incredibly strong. Glad you had such a nice day with your friend.....

Lazy Saturdays are good Charade........





We are having a kind of lazy Saturday......we were invited to join some friends for a pub lunch, but declined as we are out tonight for dinner. I could have a snack right now though, just enjoyed some red wine Tom poured, new bottle we haven`t tried before, it was rather lovely. Will have the other glass as I get ready for dinner.....

Trying to decide which dress to wear tonight. Too cold for sandals, so a dress with shoes and thicker tights (panty hose) will be the order of the day. High shoes and not boots though......yes, I do put a lot of thought into what I wear on a dressy night out.......everyone likes to get dressed up though don`t we.....

 

[schumigirl]

Beautiful Sunday today......

Had a lovely night out last night, food was good and I was still full this morning which was why we had a late breakfast, so, slept late, lazy light breakfast and then popped out shopping for some fresh produce and farmers market was particularly quiet which was nice.

Roast chicken for dinner tonight for us.......

Watching the Grand Prix this afternoon which will be about the most we`ll do today......late nights mean lazy days!

Happy Sunday ​

Good Sunday morning Sans family

I don't think they will ever get a pleasant tasting prep. The last one I took wasn't awful tasting, but was kind of slimy. Thankfully my procedure went well and I don't have to do it again for another 5 years.

Yep, those preps are not fun.

Glad you got to spend some nice times with the little one...yes, wipes are essential for play areas!!

I really enjoy spending time with little J. He is one of the sweetest little fellas. He enjoys riding the carousel at the Mall.

The prep we have over here isn`t too bad.....it almost tastes like warm lemonade, so not a problem to get over. But my sister and one of my best friends had dreadful stuff that made them throw it up, they just couldn`t take it. Least it`s over for another time now......hope for good results for you!!

The drink your sister and your friend had sounds similar to the drink I had. The drink they have for prep here is a weird fruity, salty tasting drink. It is so unpalatable that as soon as you take a drink of it you have to chase it with something to get the taste out of your mouth or you will gag. I keep thinking someday they come up with something better.

I rarely am sick and even more rarely have such a bad headache. But when I do, I’m not the best patient.

Lynne hope you are feeling better.

Nice pictures of the animals. The Clydesdales are beautiful big horses.



Well it’s Sunday morning and I’am sitting in my favorite morning spot by the window. My hubby calls me little miss muffet sometimes....LOL.....Although a spider would not scare me off at all this morning. I’am to sore to move to quickly. I was out doing a little weeding in the front beds yesterday. The weather was glorious. The sun was warm and there was a nice breeze.

I love being outside. My neighbor came over and we had a nice visit.
She is a lovely lady. They own a grass fertilizer business. We fired our previous grass company and hired them last year. We had them aerate, seed and fertilize the yard last Fall. The grass is beautiful, full and green. So glad we decided to go with their company. They are very nice people and great neighbors.

Grandson, his girlfriend, son and daughter in law came over so we could take some pictures of grandson and his girlfriend before they went to grandsons prom. They were both so cute.

It’s really sweet that the younger grandchildren have made a point of coming over for pictures before their proms and other events so Papa and I get to see them and take pictures.

I can’t believe the little tiny baby I held in my arms it’s seems like only yesterday is going to granduate high school next month. He is so sweet.

Grandson had reservations for them to go out for dinner before the prom.

We grilled some hamburgers and I made some potato logs for our dinner. Was nice to have a visit with everyone.

I went to see the recent Fantastic Beasts movie at the cinema on Tuesday. No spoilers. I really liked it. I have not been inside a cinema for about 3 years. There were only 6 other people in that particular theatre. So going on a week night was nice.

Not much planned for the day. The sun is shining and it’s supposed to be 80 today. Then rain tomorrow then back down into the 60’s for 3 days then climb back up to 70’s and 80’s.

Sounds like everyone is having some up and down weather.

Sending healing wishes to all who are sick.

Happy planning to all who are planning trips and adventures.

Have a wonderful Sunday everyone.

 

[macraven]

I am glad to see Robbie is here!
Was wondering how she is doing and then… there she is!!


Very glad your testing is now “behind you”

Not a fun test to do but it’s necessary for all of us

Such a delight for you to see the grand kids
I am sure you are their favorite grandma
You give them loads of love.

Sending good thoughts and wishes that you get an A+ on your tests!

Good to see you Robbie....

Sounds like you`re having some lovely weather and enjoying some lovely family time. Yes, it can be shocking when you think our precious ones were once so tiny.....sounds like some lovely visits with happy pictures being taken.

Hope you and all of yours are doing well......





Not sure how we could have a busy and a lazy day at the same time.......seemed to do a lot but managed to watch the Grand Prix, have a nap, called some friends and family, cleaned out some kitchen cabinets and made dinner......chicken was lovely, and will make stock out of it for some chicken noodle soup.

Tonight is watching some tv and catching up on emails and have one friend I need to catch up with on the phone.

Looking forward to this coming week.......

 

[macraven]

So ……. How many sleeps left for you before your one month vacation begins…

(One month seems more exciting than saying 4 weeks)

8 sleeps till we fly.......covid test result dependent of course!!

And yes, we did get the cases down after all.......lol....I said to you I was leaving them till later in the week, but down they came.......couldn`t resist!

Found my Ghostbusters Lanyard I thought I lost......

Did you get all your jobs done today.......????

 

[macraven]

Well I can’t remember the jobs I planned to do today …


Spent a lot of time outside to eliminate fire ants mounds.
Put enough treatment products down so they will miss their birthday this month

 

[Lynne G]

Feeling much better. Think older one’s pills helped. Just slept and took an easy the last 4 days. And weather lotto again. Half first of week, in high 60’s, last half of week, low 50’s. And we are at the end of April?

Hope all have a good night sleep.
