We are NOTHING but rock heads also. It was one of the attractions on the N.J. Seashore. We still refresh the stone every year with a couple of bags to brighten it up. This year is 45 bags and counting. We use the Very Best Weed Block and double it up and still, the grass comes thru in Jurassic Park.

I love the look of a CYV with a really thoughtful stone arrangement in the front with a few decorations. Just Kidding!

NOTHING but a rainy day here. I was hoping for one more nice day before going back to work, but no such luck. Although I don't have to go into work today, I know somebody else on here who's long weekend is probably over. Pretty soon I'll be saying - "Work? Oh yeah, let me check my schedule to see if I have time for that." Can't wait for the day when I can choose between work and NOTHING.

Once you NOTHING but get here the suffering you are going thru with the waiting and all the P.I.T.A. things that go along with planning and executing the move just make it even sweeter when you do land.

Sometimes you sell a house and the process is like poop through a goose, other times it is rough from start to finish. The funny thing is once the check clears all the rough stuff is forgotten or lessened.

Imagine, we had no idea we were going to be finished with work so early. It all works out. It's amazing. All the worrying and concern and sleepless nights for Nuttin. Anytime I leave our problems where they belong and just do my part then a whole lot of anxiety is eliminated. Trying to do that now. It's working so far.

Not seeing any snakes is odd. They are NOTHING but all over the place at the postal station and at the dog park.

Saw a hawk swoop down at the dog park and take off with a black racer in its talons. Thankfully they leave the small dogs alone.

Hey Tal, wouldn't it be Something if the Jeopardy King lost on a Question that the answer was NOTHING. I think I said 30 days so we'll know shortly.

Mrs. K was NOTHING but making fun of me because I'm having to work Fridays again. lol

In my next life I want to be either a Weather Man or a Fire Forecaster. The latest fire forecast after putting aside all the scientific mumbo jumbo pretty much boils down to.. We're either going to have a really bad fire season or we're going to have a real slow fire season. Yeah, I want that job.. lol

Just for the record, I totally admire Firefighters but the extra added attraction of Lions, Tiger, Bears, Snakes worries me as much as the fires. Think of the anxiety the people who live out yonder and You and your co-workers must NOTHING but go thru.

We asked our Uncle Jimmy, lifetime Fireman to tell us stories and he always changed the subject. We were under 10 and really didn't know better until we did it a second time. My Dad made it abundantly clear that it was off limits. Uncle Jimmy devoted his life to his job. Lived in the apartment building next to the Firehouse and took us down the Firepole from the sleeping quarters. COOL!

My Uncle Alvin was the Fire Chief for the town of Itasca. IL. They had to handle clean up of some of that terrible airplane crash out of O'Hare in 1979. And not for NOTHING. Itasca has planes over it from O'Hare at certain times of the day so he was reminded quite often each day by the sight and sounds of the jet planes. I spent Fall of 1994 helping out my WWII wounded uncle as he had lost part of his skull, an arm and a leg to a Panzer tree burst at Anzio in 1944. And it killed 6 out of 8 men in his scouting party. Caused
him to have hallucinations when he was elderly of his WWII men being in front of him.

American Airlines Flight 191 - Wikipedia

Alvin passed away while I was there in Itasca in 1994 and they had a Fire Chief's funeral with fireman coming from a lot of places in Chicagoland.

I kind of had to become a fan of Da Bears when there.

I wouldn't want to be a structural Firefighter. NOTHING but risk from the word go.

Wildland firefighting is no picnic but it's what I know. No floors to collapse on you. No roofs coming down. No confined spaces. Unless someone really screws up and places you in a bad spot the biggest risk is usually from falling trees or branches.

Yes, we get to see plenty of wildlife but it's usually at a distance and they're trying to get to safety. Have seen a few snake bites over the years and of course plenty of Abby encounters on the roads but other than that NOTHING serious.

No medical calls, no accidents, no drug ODs NOTHING but trees on fire.

Abby encounters?!? I'm NOTHING but a 2-legged dear, not a 4-legged deer and most likely you won't find me in the woods. At least, not if I can help it - lol

Those things I did. I was NOTHING but a Reserve Medic for one of SoCal's largest fire departments back in the day. That's how Mrs. K. and I met. We took our patients to the ER she worked in.. lol

That's a cool story. I think that makes at least 3 of us NOTHINGs so far who have met our spouses while on the job.
