Guess some people must be off on romantic getaways and the like. Kind of slow yesterday with merely 583 views of NOTHING.

Been watching The Martian again. Great movie and noticed some very interesting details. The book by Andy Weir is also very good.

The day after an uneventful Valentine's Day for me we have 240, 853 NOTHING views as of 9:01 AM EST 2/15/2019. Sandra Shaw's birthday is today. Happy Birthday Sandra. She is a funny weather lady in South Florida.

Great people but their hours are way different than ours.

Its something the way things work out. We camped through the night but everything we needed to be Ok was Ok electrically speaking.

Duke Energy said its the Main Breaker in the outside box. We shall see, I am inclined to believe the guy. He certainly looked like he knew what he was doing.
I set my phone to quiet between certain hours of the night except for certain people I have designated as important. Check your phone as I am sure you have NOTHING but the same ability.

Ok Tal, I'm sure I am not the only Nothing who is a little perplexed by the above. I know you are a numbers guy so there must be some significance to the numbers.

Most people will donate in increments of $5, 10, 15 or $20. But why the strange amounts. And, why two checks of $2.24 and $6.14 rather than a total of $8.38? Inquiring minds want to know. It may be none of my business, but hey, you started it. LOL.

$2.24 represents my birthday of 2-24 and $6.13 is for 613 my subject number in a 17 week study on stress on the unemployed conducted by the University of California, San Francisco Health Sciences Campus in late 1992-1993. I have used these two numbers 613 and 224 since late 1992 to try to get practical materials into or accessible through libraries of all kinds all over the world while enlisting writers, journalists, actors, students, religious leaders, movie directors, lawyers, social workers, teachers, psychiatrists, doctors, nurses, and many others in creating an ongoing dialog about what would be the best things to have in or accessible through libraries. I faced a lot of resistance from some librarians starting in Reno, Nevada in 1989 before even starting this but it was trial-and-error and the like for quite some time. 1989 is when I returned to Reno, Nevada in a summer convention for law librarians and where my being there triggered a lot of memories dealing with me looking for materials from late February 1976 to help myself and my fellow Earl Wooster High School students deal with the 2-24-1976 murder investigation in the slaying of Michelle Mitchell near the University of Nevada, Reno campus. Michelle was the daughter of my then Earl Wooster High School English teacher Mrs. Barbara Mitchell. NOTHING but quite dramatic.

It was karma that the law library convention in 1989 was in Reno, Nevada a few weeks after I graduated from the U of MN Law School. The next one was in Minneapolis in the Summer of 1990 then New Orleans in the Summer 1991. San Francisco in the Summer of 1992.

Most of this involves lawyer, law librarian and librarian conventions and associations of all kinds. Especially those involving victim/witness assistance providers which are located mostly in police departments. I wanted to get movie stars, movie directors,
and movie studios and the like involved in this as they are good at spotlighting problems and I needed to get creative given my limited resources.

And I think that these fellow 1989 law grads would notice what I am doing and how as I certainly talked a lot with some of them about my experiences in Reno, Nevada.

I minored in Religious Studies at the University of Nevada, Reno mainly because I was very much concerned with the ideas of why God allows things to happen to good people and the like and how to discover one's own role in stuff.

Heck, I didn't even know there was a party. I'm so used to being NOTHING but alone around here at night that I didn't even check to see if anyone was here..

As much as I miss you all it feels good to be making some progress here at home. It seems that as I've gotten older my ability to focus has been reduced to NOTHING as far as getting tasks done at home so unfortunately I'm finding that removing myself from everything else as much as possible has been a must. As a result my time on NOTHING suffers but it doesn't mean you're forgotten.........NOTHING is always in my heart. I've also noticed that I'm not getting any email notifications from TOTV when a new NOTHING post occurs. Not sure why that has happened but I'm going to let it ride for now - less temptation is better. If for any reason any of you want to reach me however, don't hesitate to pm me. I may not have time for NOTHING, but I always have time for friends or anyone in need.

In the meantime, I'll drop by when I can. Hope you all have NOTHING but a wonderful weekend! I think I got enough NOTHINGs in here to cover my most recent deficit - lol.
I've also been trying to catch up around here. Been getting the taxes together. But I go crazy doing paperwork so I have to stop and do NOTHING or I'll go absolutely batpoop crazy..

Yeah, I'm beginning to think you're right. I may have to reconsider how much time I should avoid doing NOTHING. I'm working on the same thing and papers are starting to fly around here. But first I think I'll go take a nap.........nobody wants to have to deal with a cranky Abby - lol

For any Pentatonix fans this just came out today. I NOTHING but enjoyed it. I'm usually not a big fan of classic covers but I think this is different enough.

Their voices are so powerful. NOTHING but a great group. Haven't heard a song yet that they do that I don't enjoy. Another good one - thanks!
