My calc indicates that if it IS 100K posts and it would take avg 30 seconds to review each posting, I would need to allow 34.7 days for this.

So, the docs would need to give me at least 3 months to live, allowing for sleep, a few visitors, tests, and other matters during that time. Time planning will be essential - but should be a simple thing with my OCD (CDO).
I like the way you think. NOTHING to the very end -

Does February have only NOTHING but 20 days this year? Must be a super duper leap year.. lol

Once in a while the word puzzle that I do every day to keep my mind sharp has bad words in it - like these kinds of words . Sometimes I spell those words out of frustration because I can't figure out the last word and much to my surprise, it appears as the missing word . Other times I end up looking up the last word because I've never heard of it before.

So this morning I'm working on it and a bunch of words are coming up that remind me of NOTHING - like wily and wittily along with a few others and I thought, "how cool!" Then comes the last word which had me confounded. So I'm playing around with the letters until it finally accepts something. The last word ends up to be "titi". I'm thinking "what the heck does that mean", so I google it. Oh boy, google is no longer my friend.

And math was NOTHING but my best subject lol. I guess it's poetic license like getting booted from TV for deed restriction violation.

Saturday Night Live had a lot of fun with that last night in their opening and not for NOTHING. Had never even heard of the host before though. I am really getting behind the times as far as pop culture is concerned. Watch Halsey Deliver Smoldering Power Ballad ‘Without Me’ on ‘SNL’ – Rolling Stone

Titi means Spanish for NOTHING but Aunt. The Sharpened Mind like mine would have gone to the gutter too!

Ain't that a TITI, supporting someone on their new home and whammo reduce to a pile of ashes. I'm like the Phoenix though already raised from The Ashes. Get out your Decoder Ring it's gonna be a long day.

I wouldn't ever watch SNL again for all the Tea In The Villages. They are NOTHING but not funny to me anymore at all. The good old days were the bestest.

My mind didn't go to the gutter. I was just curious as to what the word meant. It was Google with NOTHING but it's mind in the gutter. You might have thought the first thing they brought up was the definition of a type of tree or monkey, but NOOOO......

I'm NOTHING but right there with you, Nucky. I grew up in the days of Chevy Chase, Dan Aykroyd, Gilda Radner, Bill Murray, John Belushi, Lariane Newman, Eddie Murphy and Jane Curtin.. Those were the funny days of SNL..

Well the good Catholic woman across the street from us at a going away party said that there were too many Dicks in our neighborhood when a third moved in a few months ago after two of my favorite people moved to be closer to family because of a family tragedy last year on Valentine's Day when they lost a 14 year old grand daughter. Really shook up the dynamic of our tight net neighborhood and not for NOTHING. And I am sure a lot of memories are being stirred up as February 14, 2019 approaches for the couple who moved as well as us as a group. These anniversaries can be a bear. Even if I had decided to mount my own bear and run with it in various directions.

That is funny and sad. Several of the homes in our neighborhood turned over this year but we have been NOTHING but lucky in getting new neighbors who are nice and get along well.
