I'm not going to wait until we're in our 70's to enjoy what we sacrificed to have in retirement. We are both in good health now, who knows what the future holds? He did finally relinquish to my way of thinking and we worked out a plan that we both hopefully will be comfortable with as the time approachs. It's a process, but what is that expression about regrets - regretting what you don't do, not what you did do. He always talks about never missing opportunities - well, I plan to take that to heart and quit missing out.

Especially The Villages, you want to be young enough and fit enough to enjoy it. It's NOTHING like other retirement facilities where you just go and play bingo.

This is NOTHING but that Casino in Vegas I think its The Venetian. They did the same thing to us. They slipped 50MG of Melatonin in our coffee because I was killing them at the BlackJack table. I'll never go back again because I would want to have as good of a time as last time and that would be impossible. I was accused of card counting because I said I wanted to go to KMart and buy underwear! Take your time Mrs. Abby! Let me know which day you NOTHING but get the joke.

In Old Vegas, My Middle son paid two of those Dancers with the frilly feathers to practically maul me in front of our entire gang. I was embarrassed beyond words. Mrs. Nucky gave the gag the O.K. and laughed the most out of everyone. It was ten years ago and they still bust me about my reaction. That's definitely not my thing! What's that saying? NOTHING other than elephants never forget. I still owe him a big gag. I'll get him real good one day.

Don't wait one day more than absolutely necessary to NOTHING but pull the plug and get outta Dodge. It's a dream come true other than the weather sometimes. I wouldn't be a real friend if I didn't tell you about that. It takes a minute to get used to it. I wish you Peace with your decision and safety and luck in getting here ASAP. Peace Out.

Nucky, you know me too well - I will let you know which day I get it because it probably won't be today - lol

But as long as we're going the comedy route, here's a good one for you NOTHINGS, sent to me from a friend of mine who could only hope to be a NOTHING -

If you ever hear me order a decaf coffee, I've been kidnapped and I'm trying to signal you.

Remember that when I get to TV because that's the only reason I can think of to order a decaf -

Thank you both for your good wishes and your wisdom. I listen to all that you say, believe me when I say, NOTHING is wasted. You guys are the bestest (my new favorite Nuckyism).

I think you should take your time and make sure you're making NOTHING but the right decision. In my experience that should take you just over five years..

You know, I was going to add on to that post that I was sure you would have NOTHING to offer in the way of best wishes, but decided to be nice instead. See what happens when I leave the door open? I should know better to always keep my guard up if I'm going to stay one step ahead of you.

[Abby10]

No one has NOTHING to say tonight? Well, I'm struggling to stay awake so I'll see you all in the morning. Good night, my fellow NOTHINGS.

So before you come down here you need to practice...the restaurants are terrible...we need fine dining...people don't pick up their dog poop...the snowbirds don't know how to drive...it's soooo hot. Maybe if you write down each of these 10 times a day you will be NOTHING but ready. None of these are true but it seems to be how to start a conversation.

Hmmm.......you've been noticing too. Seems like much of the forum has NOTHING better to talk about than NOTHING - lol

Good morning, fw, and all you sleepyheads as well. I guess you have an excuse, K, being in a different time zone, so since today is a new day I'll choose to be nice as usual and give you a pass. On the other hand, Nucky, no one can keep up with your crazy sleep schedule, not even me. Hope you get back into more of a routine soon. How's the swimming going? Better get a lot in now before the weather gets cooler, although I know you guys are spoiled with heated pools down there.......no chilly willies in TV. Okay, I'm nice and bad sometimes, all wrapped up in one.

So not just for NOTHING, but today is Monday, September 17th.

NOTHING wrong with a lobster/NOTHING cross threader. Nor is there NOTHING wrong with a NOTHING/lobster cross threader.

That must apply to the Three Word Sentence and NOTHING cross threader then?

How about those Jags yesterday?

New England's quarterback and coach sure looked quite upset and not for NOTHING.

Correct about the cross threading - hopefully viewed as NOTHING but just fun and also in an effort to show how we can all get along, unlike some threads on here as of late.

In consideration of my NOTHING sister, I cannot join you in celebrating the Jags win. Now had it been the Steelers, well that could be a different story.
