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

[schumigirl]

Quick good morning before I head to SC. My mom has a late afternoon eye doctor appointment today, so I am trying to time my arrival for sometime after that. Want to make sure they are back home when I arrive.

I used to post on message boards for Girl Scout leaders and parents, and parents of dancers. We had an epic troll on each board. One went as far as stealing pictures of kids form other people's facebook pages and trying to pass them off as her own children. The other made up a crazy life story that was soap opera worthy, then claimed to have a personality disorder when she was exposed. They made for some very entertaining reading.

I just noticed some here yesterday. Nice to see someone else calling them lightning bugs. I usually hear the word fireflies.

We are supposed to hit 94 here today, but drop to the mid 70s tomorrow. I guess i should also check the forecast in SC.

I don't know. A lot of people seem to say they will start one tomorrow.

I need to finish getting ready to leave. Speaking of leaving, I found out this morning that my flight time for my October trip has been changed. I now leave at 9:00 in the morning. My previous time was 11:00. I'm not very happy, especially since I am flying out of an airport that is 1 hour from where I live.

Holy smokes....there really are some weirdos out there......nasty and sad, yes, never doubted that, but that is downright sinister. It`s amazing what people will write sitting at a keyboard.......laughable for sure. Bet you were glad to see the back of that one.

Tomorrow is another good day........




Bit brighter here, but not exactly nice outside......laundry all done and dusted.

Found myself eating some of my friends home grown cherry tomatoes......sweet as candy.......will roast the rest of them with the salmon.....not that there`s many left!

There are some serious nut jobs out there. The really scary thing is that one of these was a Girl Scout leader. She pretended to be a man - a single father who was the leader of his daughter's troop. Got into an online relationship with another leader. That leader was seriously considering leaving her husband for this "man". I forget how she actually found out the truth. The "man's" Facebook page disappeared for about a week, then "he" came back claiming that he just learned that he was an alternate personality of this other woman who had disassociate personality disorder. This is just a brief summary. There is a lot more craziness that goes along with it.

I'm waiting a bit longer to leave for my mom's house. If I leave now I will get there while Mom and my brother are gone. I'm also thinking about killing some time at the outlet mall in NC that I will pass along the way.

Schumi !!

I just remembered something... duh
I got your cards and thank you!
Much appreciated.

Life has been a blur for me since the car accident May 18 and realized it’s been a month now.

Car still in the shop waiting for repair parts ... still on back order
Memory loss is a good thing and a bad thing.

 

[Lynne G]

Oh Mac. I hope you are doing well now. Sorry to hear car is still not fixed. Seems all sorts of things are taking longer as supplies not available. Hugs.

Macraven, so sorry to hear of your accident! I hope you are getting better each day! I always follow your comments on Universal and hope you are back to "normal" soon

Holy moly Charade!! And this was all in the girl scouts world .....there`s a whole other world out there. How on earth did that person hope to get away with that.......there would come a time, well, it would be discovered she wasn`t a man.......heck!!

I`ve just put someone on ignore on another site.......I didn`t answer their query quick enough apparently.....who the heck sits and watches message boards waiting for folks to post.......so they`re on ignore now. She seemed quite normal till that pm.......lol......Yes, very weird people out there, more than we care to think about to be honest.

Oh you`re so welcome mac.

Tom just asked me earlier when he came in how you were doing........I told him our usual long conversations were even longer than usual recently......

Yes, memory loss can be convenient at times........well, in certain circumstances, oh dear did I say I would do that........

 

[macraven]

Thanks Lynne
Car needs a lot of body work and parts replaced.
Toyota having delay in getting parts to the shop
Been about 5 weeks now

Glad all has gone smooth in the forums
Had turned my forums over to the administrators but think I’m better and can be active again
My vision has started to improve now

 

[macraven]

ha ha ha, some day I shall be normal..

Thank you for thinking of me, very much
appreciated.
I do have vision in one eye and will take time for the other one to heal

I was stopped at a red light and hit in the rear by a truck driving at 45 mph

My surgeons have been outstanding

Please come back and play with us here anytime

We always have “something about nothing “
to talk about day and night.

 

[Lynne G]

Ack, rear ended. Not good at all. Thankful you are still here Mac. I hope you are healing more every day. Mummy dust sent of well wishes. And have to get better, as hope to see ya at end of September. I thought of changing my dates, but as all had been kinda set, would be hard to find the costs and other to change. Hope to meet ya, and others this Fall. Maybe Schumi? I’m really hoping the US border open for her soon.

 

[macraven]

Thanks Lynne

 

[J'aime Paris]

Thanks all, for the nice wishes! I am chomping at the bit to share some good things that have been happening here over the past few months, but I can't right now. I hope you can understand. This forum, while helpful, is open to anyone to view. So even if we post something helpful, it can be taken the wrong way by people looking for the "wrong".

I'm still laying low, but very interested in what my homies are up to. Hope you all are well!
Our trip last month was very much last minute, not knowing who would come with us or how to plan accordingly. We did Uni and Disney and it was a blast! I saw the new dates for the Disney Halloween parties, but I don't think we will do it. We'll see, and it may be last minute planning like this last trip.

Looking forward to Father's Day tomorrow! I bought hubby the Hooten Young American Whiskey that we tried in Wine Bar George a few weeks ago! I'm not a whiskey person, but the story behind the guys who make it, along with being a proud daughter of a US Army Vet, Korea, I really appreciate what they've done. I'm excited for hubby to open it!
Be well, Be safe!
M

Glad good things are happening for you!!
I am a big fan of Wine Bar George too!

MKrose - never heard of that brew, interesting. u are lucky to be able to pull a relatively last minute trip together at WDW, park reservations can be a real bear. Seems to be lessening up a bit now. Would like to think that will soon be a thing of th past once the college program kids return to flush out the staffing requirements.


i let Dave know his driving skills are required for a road trippee. Will keep him out of ‘my’ laundry room.

The ceramic fire pit I ordered him for Father’s Day finally came into stock for pickup today, Home Depot a good 40 miles RT away. Decided to turn it into date night. Other than the wake for my BiL, the first time we’ve dined in anywhere at home since the pandemic began!

had a lovely meal at Texas Roadhouse, then stopped nearby to pick up the huge box from Home Depot. I remember date nights

Decided to Let him open it up early once he lugged it to our back deck. Nice to see it so nicely wrapped up in layers of bubble wrap & cardboard inserts.

Too bad it was in a multiple pieces, looked like something out of an ancient excavation site Looks like another drive tomorrow to try to rectify that. may just pick a different sort of one, worried it might just be too fragile.

Sounds like a nice gift, hope it works out ok!

Less than a week now Robo.......it has come around so quickly and I know how excited you are to see them married. it`ll be a gorgeous ceremony I`m sure. And some baby time too.....can`t get better....

Hope you all have a lovely day today too......





Oh yes, Scotland/England have had some skirmishes over the years......some fun, some not so fun......but it was a lovely atmosphere on Friday night.....although i booed when Beckham appeared on the screen.......had no clue the guy two along from me had Beckham on his England shirt.....oops.....he did see the funny side!

That is good news on the foot improving, and getting to drive....oh yes.....it`s like getting your freedom back!




Sounds a lovely day for you too Lori.......yes, longest day is a mixed gift......I love the longer days, but having an amateur astronomer around......they love the dark nights.

Have a wonderful day at your in laws.......




Yes, sadly there are pathetic little people who do seem to thrive on being a troll on forums. How sad that there are still people like that around.....I hope you get to share your happy news soon. Some of us here found the ignore button works wonders.....but you still have to question anyone and their mind set who goes out of their way to try and upset the applecart. You wonder why people bother.....It`s laughable really, but sounds like you are being careful. All good wishes to you mrose........

And again, hope you have a wonderful Father`s Day.........






Not sure how your mister is going to pick me up........

NIce gift for Father`s Day too, shame it needs replacing......and yes, Date nights......sounds fun!




I usually do all our laundry, but I`m here all the time anyway, they can do it of course but we always share the housework anyway, but to be honest I don`t mind laundry and I even don`t mind ironing......if I worked full time I`d certainly expect them all to do their share for sure.

Hope you have a safe journey down to see your mum and hope you get internet. Where my mum is it`s patchy, but the hotel has good internet.





Lovely weekend behind us. Friday night at our friends home was fabulous. And Scotland didn`t get humiliated by England, not that I watched much of it, some of us there just chatted and I was sat with one of my good friends and we had a good catch up. There were around 20 of us, some Scottish, some English and lots of banter, video on my phone of a group of us up singing Sweet Caroline among others and Mexican hats for some reason.......

Slept a little later than usual Saturday as we didn`t get home till around 1.30ish, but still made the hair salon for 10am. Just a cut and blow dry. A couple of our friends popped over last night for a couple of hours just for a catch up, I felt quite rude yawning most of the night, but they left around 11.30.

Lazy day today, French Grand Prix is on, might watch some of that and Father`s Day dinner here is Prime Rib again......it was requested, so he`s got it. But, we have some rain here today, not sure if it`s going to last all day today.....

Bacon on the go today again........

Have a wonderful Sunday folks ​

Sounds like a blast on Friday night!!! Gotta love Sweet Caroline!1

Ah, that Sunday feeling. Yep, a good and bad day in weather, being the longest day, and having to start the week day routine tomorrow. Yeah, weekend ends the same night Spring ends. And Summer has certainly arrived. Was 90 degrees out yesterday, oh so muggy, and rain on and off from late afternoon until early this morning. But as any Summer day, another most glorious sunny start. And at 8 o’clock, it’s already 73 degrees out. Yep, our Father’s Day will also be steamy, with a 90 degree high. But Summer is being nice, and while more clouds today, predicted to bring no rain today. See, Summer’s first full day on Monday, will also be hazy hot and humid, with the heat wave third day at 90 degrees. But that heat wave is to be ended fast. Tuesday is predicted to be rainy and 75 the high. I think little one will be happy, most of the weekdays this week will see highs in the 70’s and low 80’s. Well, but for her first day sweaty and hot.

And so the weather report.

Glad to hear Schumi had fun with friends last night and this morning too. I hope flights open for you soon. On my local news, city airport was opening flights to some European airports, though no mention of British ones. I hope to see ya in September. Maybe by the end of the Summer, borders will open.

Charade, safe travels tomorrow. I hope your visit with mom goes wonderfully.

And so, our typical Sunday. A happy older one gets a work day break, but for the rest of us, a back to routine ready day. And one we also all get the trash out. I like a Monday trash pickup. Nice to have the weekend to fully fill the trash cans up.

And typical Sunday morning. Sun has been shining, though clouds to start by lunchtime. And tea and remote are in hands, with a quiet house. Peaceful.

And so, peaceful is the perfect description for a Sunday. Thus, Peaceful Sunday homies. And have to say, WOOT! Welcome to Summer for those of us above the equator. Woot!

I think we could travel to France and a few other European countries now. Hoping all continues to open!

Nope, shopping was our fun this morning....last two nights were with friends.

Glad you`re having such lovely weather and a nice day ahead......



Father`s Day has been a big success so far. I made breakfast and then he got his gifts from Kyle which were much appreciated........Kyle always manages to surprise us with some wonderful gifts we never expect. So Tom is happy.

Prime Rib is in and will slowly roast away all afternoon......making daupinoise potatoes and some roasted veg.

Lovely lazy Sunday

Nice to hear Tom is being pampered on his special day! I'm sure you and Kyle made him feel extra loved!

Good Sunday Morning Sans family

Thank you Lynne for the good wedding wishes.




Sounds like they have you on the right track. Hope things fall into to place all around and your foot gets back to park shape. There is a clown named Jack calling your name for HHN......LOL....JACK is back.

Feel better soon dear lady.




Thank you Lori. We are all so excited for them. I will share some photos.




What a wonderful celebration for your hubby and all of you to get to spend time with his grandma. Have a lovely day with the family.





Congratulations to your niece on the upcoming arrival I Of a new baby. I know you are all excited for her.




It has been a hard year of loss and change for sure Lynne. Having to say goodbye to loved ones in such an isolated way is sad.

It is so nice that you and your family are remembering your mom by celebrating her life together.





My hubby does the laundry sometimes too. He mixes bright colors and whites together at times. I have thrown my hands up and given in at this point. I know he is trying to help.




Tiramisu sounds yummy. I’am sure all will enjoy your delicious dessert.





Congratulations on all the good things happening in your life.

Sorry you feel you can’t share your good news, but we will celebrate with you that all the good things that are happening for you continue.




Sounds like you had a wonderful time.




Sounds like your hubby will be happy with your special gift for him. Thank you to your Dad for his service to his country. Being the proud daughter of a Army Vet is awesome.




Texas Roadhouse has the best steaks. Date nights are nice.




Sorry to hear his gift was in pieces, but maybe on the road trip to get another gift for him a stop for another steak will be in order.




Wishing you good weather and a safe trip to SC.





Thank you Carole. We are all so excited for them.




Sounds like you have a wonderful day planned to celebrate Tom for Father’s Day. You always have such nice meals planned and I’am sure you will all make him feel special today.


It’s quiet in the house this morning. Hubby is still sleeping. The sun is shinning and 90 is the predicted high today.

I saw lightening bugs in the back hard yesterday evening for the first time this year. I remember when M was 2 we would catch lightening bugs and put them in a jar with holes in the lid and grass inside. Then once we had collected a lot of them she would unscrew the lid and let them all fly out at once. My little princess loves bugs.

I asked hubby what he wanted for his Father’s Day meal and he wanted burgers and hot dogs. He really enjoys his hamburgers. So I stopped by the butcher and bought some ground sirloin. Then went to store and picked up the other things for the meal today. The stores were really busy.

Son came by and disconnected and loaded the tank for grill in my SUV Friday and I got that filled yesterday. So we are ready for grilling and celebrating the Dads in the family today.


Countdown for vacation with grandson. He is busy with football practice so it will be a nice getaway for him. I’am looking forward to spending time with my sweet grandson at

Have a wonderful Day celebrating all the hubby’s and Dads.

Wedding, Father's Day and trip with your grandson....all good and wonderful things Robo! Enjoy each and every one of them!!!!!

Hope you all had a lovely day Robbie. Good quality burgers made from scratch are hard to beat, i`m sure everyone enjoyed them and had a super time.

And not long till your trip with Grandson too.........wedding first though......this`ll be such an exciting week to get through.



Dinner was lovely last night. Trying to get them to wait till the meat was properly rested though.....everyone was starving. It`s one of my favourite joints of meat to cook though. I had made a chimichurri dip, a Jus and a horseradish sauce, but you don`t really need anything and most of them went untouched. And the dad of the day had a lovely time.

Strawberry and peach pavlova for dessert went down a treat too.

Last night it was nice enough to sit out in the sunshine for a while, but feels dampish this morning, but very still. Willl be ideal for walking, and I think we will get back out today.

Longest day.

Doubt we`ll be grilling out tonight, rain is forecast this afternoon, but if it dries up heyho......we`ll be out there.

Happy Monday and longest day

Oh boy, do those dips sound good! I bet the meal was a stunning success!

I just remembered something... duh
I got your cards and thank you!

Life has been a blur for me since the car accident May 18 and realized it’s been a month now.

Car still in the shop waiting for repair parts ... still on back order
Memory loss is a good thing and a bad thing.

Really had no clue on this....very sorry to hear!!!
Glad you're ok Mac!! You are the glue of the SANS thread and Uni portion of the boards






Father's Day was very nice! DH enjoyed his gifts, the food and especially seeing his grandma!

Typical Monday, ran to grocery store and have a couple loads of laundry going. Took the dogs for a walk, as it's only in the 60s today. We had a slight cool down, but will be back to 80s by Wednesday.

DD is making supper tonight. She's making the shrimp spring rolls that she and her friends made a while back. They looked delish from her photos....so I'm looking forward to some good eats and another night free of cooking!!

 

[Pumpkin1172]

finally able to make a quick pit stop again!!!!

We had a great weekend camping with the kids! We were with some of the sil's family. I wouldn't want to camp with them again lol. I am more of a one family camp together type of person. That was way toooooooooooooo much for me lol. But we had fun. The gd LOVES it...and was a complete mess and soooo dirty, but enjoyed alll the moments all weekend.

Not much else to report here. Father's day was great...we celebrated on Saturday with everyone around. Hubby enjoyed his day. Spent some time trout fishing...then came back to play with the gd, eat great food, and open some presents! All in all, it was a good day!

Had 2nd assessment at PT today, range of motion is coming back nicely. Glad i kept up the exercises. Was told to order 3 more different brace combos today, one i had not supportive enough. Somewhere in there the therapist will find the right order of usage for my step down now that i’m Starting to transition into one for a few hours a day from the boot.

I'm glad the pt seems to be working. Sending you more positive vibes for more healing.

She’s due 9 days later than the holiday Sunday, so all of us are hoping to see her, and then seeing the new baby on the not as all the family usually get together on the September holiday. And our July holiday family will not only be celebrating the holiday, but three June and one two days before the holiday, birthdays. And do what my mom asked we do after she was gone. We could not before, as sadly, she passed away last Spring, and while us siblings got together to say goodbye, we all left after, masked and had stood distant. So all extended family, including my 3 nieces and nephew, and 5, soon to be 6 total, 3 great nieces and 2 great nephews, will all be enjoy eating ice cream. My mom always enjoyed eating it, so we will be sure to remember her and eat ice cream by all the family this time, not masked and with hugs. And hoping for a hot and steamy weather this coming holiday. As would be eating ice cream while relaxing in the pool.

That sounds like it would be a fantastic day!!!!!

Just wanted to say a quick good morning!

Quick good morning before I head to SC. My mom has a late afternoon eye doctor appointment today, so I am trying to time my arrival for sometime after that. Want to make sure they are back home when I arrive.

Safe travels!!! Enjoy your time with your mom!

Life has been a blur for me since the car accident May 18 and realized it’s been a month now.

Mac Sending you more healing vibes. I hope you continue to improve.

Well, I should shuffle a few papers around again. I have a mountain of shredding to do today as well. I will be getting started on that soon.

Have a great day...stay safe everyone!!!!!

Another good Father`s Day by the sound of it.......



yes, one of those evenings.........

Phone ever stopped ringing tonight, ended up switching it off although I did feel very popular lol...... Glass of sparkly and movie time I think, we are through watching the biggest screen tonight.

Watching Jack Reacher 2......not a Tom Cruise fan at all, but I do like A Few Good Men, especially since Kevin Bacon is in it.....and these Reacher movies are decent too....

Did plan an early night, but maybe not now.......and it really is the longest day as it is still so bright outside.....

 

[Lynne G]

Hehe, have to paraphrase my weather lady on the afternoon news: Sweltering heat day into a Severe Storm Watch evening. Ooh will be sticky sweaty then soaking rain. Joy. Nothing like a Monday, and the start of Summer. Bring it on!

 

[Pumpkin1172]

It is nice and balmy here today! It's currently 79F or 26 C and supposed to get to 85F by supper/dinner time. The weather peeps are forecasting near 100+F for the weekend! I will be in my glory soaking it all up. But currently, I have my heater on under my desk and a sweater on. I hate AC when it's soooo cold like that

wow!!

Is that exceptionally warm for you even in summer or normal to be 100+.......nice weather though!!

 

[Lynne G]

And the rain has come. When you could hear the wind really pick up, yep, loud downpour. More noisy rain a few minutes ago.

Pumpkin, wow warm you will be. End of our heat wave today, as much cooler the rest of the week. How cute GD had so much fun with family at the lake. Great times at your lake house this past weekend. Great way to celebrate the Father’s Day, even if not exactly on Sunday.

Hope the nice weather is for Robo’s granddaughter. Wedding wishes, perfect time for a wedding. And then park fun with great nephew.

Took a long shower, as felt stinky. Now getting ready for bed. I can fall asleep with the rain falling, but it also wakes me up, when hear it starting. To be raining through the night. No stars or moon to see this night.

 

[schumigirl]

Feels positively cool this morning after the late heat of last night.......I say heat, not like Pumpkin is going to be getting, but for an evening it was rather nice.

High of around 60ish today for us, will be nice walking in it this morning, will head down the beach again and it will be much nicer than yesterday for sure, it was almost deserted when we walked in the morning.

Have some things to do later today, some phone calls and some shopping we need to get, have a few things we want to take up to Scotland with us too. And we`ll try not to bring too many Scottish goodies back with us....far too tempting.

Will think of food for today later.....no idea yet what we`ll have, feel like shrimp of some kind........although someone mentioned they may like a curry tonight, so that`ll be chicken and I prefer to make it the day before for a more intense flavour, so may make that today for tomorrow.

Have a Happy Tuesday ​

 

[Charade67]

3:30 in the morning and I cannot get to sleep. It is extremely warm in my Aunt’s house. I can’t turn down the a/c because then Mom will be too cold. Her room is the hottest room in the house. I currently have the ceiling fan on plus a small table fan.
I have only been here a few hours and can already tell it will be a very long week. My Aunt keeps her house very dark. Her theory is that by not opening curtains or turning on lights she will be able to keep the house cooler in the summer (spoiler alert. It isn’t working.) and warmer in the winter. Needless to say, my brother and I have been turning on lights and opening the curtains. The house is also very cluttered. Almost every available wall space is covered with something. I had to search to find an outlet so I could plug in my fan. There is stuff on top of stuff. Not bad like a hoarder house, but a lot of clutter.
There is also no WiFi here and not even a DVD player.
Mom seems to be doing okay though. She is still mobile, just very slow and deliberate. I think today one of her home healthcare workers is supposed to stop by. Wednesday she has an appointment with her oncologist.

I just took a sleep aide, so I hope it kicks in soon.

Yeah, Charade. My kids always complained after, how warm feeling my mom’s place was, and we all knew to wear lightweight clothes, or have layers to take off. And all lights on and windows bare to have lots of sunlight. Did not matter which time of year. Glad you could at least use some fans. I hope you can help get the house in better order, as would be easier for your mom to get around. And I hope you can find out more what best to do for her medically. And also hope you can more sleep yourself. Hugs. It’s not easy.

Yay for Schumi getting a walk today. We too are going to be cooler today. Though still 70 degrees out now, but our high is 73, as rain chances most of the day time hours. Cloudy, so no bright sunlight out my windows. Though so humid out, my AC is still running, as it was most of the overnight too. But weather lady this morning said will be a muggy morning, but the humidity will lessen as the rain will pull all the humidity out,

And so if a Tuesday, hope Mac had no leftovers, and will be enjoying a Taco Bell dinner on this Taco Tuesday.

Woot! A Taco Tuesday homies. Taco time today.

But as routine still up before the now a few minutes later and later sunrise time. And after refreshing for the day, tea goes on. Laptop fired up, though twice, as first load did not look right. Second was better. And now, the time of day, a what is an easy breakfast. Hehe, older one needs to go out for an errand of his, and said, there’s a grocery store near that place, so I will pick up bread to make grilled cheese sandwiches for lunch. And so, a cooked lunch for me. Yay!

Have that totally terrific Taco Tuesday homies. . Have some.
