I agree. The Salk institute in California has done imaging that verified that many people with autism have a smaller part of the brain that controls social interaction and people with Williams Syndrome, known for their ease in talk and interaction have a larger than normal part that controls social interaction. Our daughter was part of that research led by Dr. Ursula Belugi, some years ago.

Nothing makes us happier than our sweet daughter.

That said, we may find out that talk therapy is not as effective for mental and emotional illness as it once was thought to be. I hope for new answers for this large group of heart breaking and misunderstood diagnoses.

Think there is already too much drama on NOTHING. We need some comic relief.

My wife sat down next to me as I was flipping channels.
She asked, "What's on TV?"
I said, "Dust."

And then the fight started...

I see we're up to NOTHING already this morning.. I really want to do NOTHING today but w@#k calls.

For some reason I'm super tired. Thought I slept okay last night. Hopefully coffee will remedy the situation..

NOTHING worse than starting off the day tired. I didn't have time to think about that. Got called into work early......the day before my vacation. How rude! Lol

I feel quite energetic this morning. I have been busy cleaning dog slobber off the floor which is NOTHING you need to worry about but is a daily treat for me. Fortunately I have a Bissell Crosswave that I love! No they did not pay me to say that.

Try giving RODNEY DANGERFIELD a lookey on The U My Tube. Some of his interaction with JOHNNY CARSON is smoking. NOTHING like the good old days Comedy Wise. DON RICKLES, EDDIE MURPHY, CHRIS ROCK, language is rotten but they were great.

EAGADS, GADZOOKS, WORK! YUCK

I’ll take Dog Slobber for $600, Alex.

Couple of days ago read I’d be NOTHING without my boots. Steel toe I hope, and I understand. I was there for years. I still get a little excited when I see a Concrete Mixer.

Some of them even had a clean act and were still NOTHING but funny like Bob Hope and Jack Benny.

Dust (2003) - Rotten Tomatoes

Actually there are a few movies called Dust. I used to do a lot of dusting especially after house-sitting for the retired CIA/realtor and Navy Lt. Commander/realtor. Had to make sure the house looked good when they came back from travelling the world. And dusted for a female friend born in 1900 who needed help with a lot of stuff around the yard, house and community. Senior friend I had in Reno, Nevada whom I chatted with every Sunday afternoon for about seven years 1976-1983. Her son was/is a Reno cop so I got information about some investigations. At least as much as he would give which was better than NOTHING.

Lots of dust in my life.

You got that rite. Bob Hope, what a great person. NOTHING but selfless. Was he great to our service people or what.

So many went down the drain, broke. What a shame. Red Fox, Sammy Davis, I think Rodney also, and Burt Reynolds. If all of them had moved to The Villages they had a chance at as good of a life as we have. Instead overhead ate them alive.

Million Dollar Real Estate I going to show this week 50 Cent’s house going up for sale in Connecticut. It did belong to Mike Tyson at one point I believe. I wonder if he really needed a place like that. I don’t remember the money facts but remember that they were staggering dollar wise.

On a different scale than them I learned that being modest and still living well is A Beautiful Thing! Thank You Villages. :eclipsee_gold_cup: Yipppppeeeeee!

Since nothing lasts forever you may see it again in another email. And if you do, tell so and so for me, they have a gift.

I have been in the IT industry for many years and have seen these jokes go round and round. Some of them are NOTHING but decades old but are still circulating, many now appearing on FB I think they do in fact last forever.

More excited than Culver’s but I know this is a family oriented Thread. :a20:

I understand when people worry about work ending. It happened to me unexpectedly and of course at the wrong time. You have to make a decision to fill your time with getting better if necessary and filling the time with good things, whatever they are for you. We only get one shot at this life, have to try to stay positive and have fun.:pray:

Nothing wrong with being happy and funny.

If you used to own a Dalmatian you can understand the amount of fur that I pick up daily. Not for NOTHING but they shed hourly, prickly little hairs that stick to everything.

My Jakester’s fur magically comes together like tumbleweed and waits for me to vacuum it up in the same spots every time. NOTHING magical about tumbleweed though.

I don't know. It seems like Nothing lasts forever. You're up to 9.248 posts.

Nucky 07-02-2018 11:03 AM
FW, will I ever get accustomed to typing on this IPad? Should I do NOTHING but go back and get the Whopper size one they have or is it just a matter of time? I’m not the greatest to start with and now this challenge. Geez Louise, what a pain.

When my mother in law passed away we adopted her aussie/corgi who had the corgi legs and the aussie fur so we had tumbleweeds for a while. He was NOTHING but funny when he slept upside down with his feet in the air.

That's you buddy not me. I have a mere 1186 so I have a lot of catching up to do and since I rarely post anywhere but NOTHING it may take some time, or not since I have a lot today.

Nucky 07-02-2018 11:12 AM
Can you believe some people’s have the damn nerve to not Love Dogs? You guys have the rite size dogs for me. Jake The Snake looks like CFrances avatar pup. I would NOTHING but take one of each kind if I could.

When Barney was alive he was on the dangerous list with the insurance company. He was a boxer. I suggested they put their statistics where they belong. New insurance company immediately.

Dogs are work to take care of properly but they are NOTHING but big hunks of pure love and each and every one of them has their own unique personality.

Nothing but an Ipad violation. Isn’t there a 60 second grace period after you proofread. The Manifesto has a heart for seasoned members, correct? Lmao.

Maybe the ipad has a voice to text application. And for most situations if it gets a word or two wrong the guess might be funny. BTW, I don't want a nothing violation.

Tom you have 9000 plus...the NOTHING thread has just over 4000.

I think NOTHING could be finer than to be in Carolina----except being in The Villages. Maybe Rocky and the Rollers can do something with this.

Hokey Smokes Bullwinkle, I write too much. Memories of many more then a few laughs, and the kind words of many more then a few people but nothing to show for it.
[i need to think on this]

It's NOTHING but fun Tom, at least in this thread. Sometimes things turn too serious but then we remember it is in the Just For Fun forum. I think that memories of a few laughs and the kind words of a few is definitely not NOTHING and we have Saint Abby the Den Mother to prove it.

Been in Florida now 22 years and a few days. 13 of these in the Villages.

I do not mind the heat here in FL not for NOTHING.

I do miss the mountains of CO, NV, and CA and the snow at times. Better to be inside a moving car or train or in a warm house or motel/hotel though at the snow.
Robert and I havebeen here since 12/2015 from Provincetown—not Providence RI.

Wanna know why? Around the end of March 2014, the temperature dropped to the teens and STAYED there until mid-April. Our steps were frozen solid from ample snow and were not passable until May! We had to use the garage to get into the house.

Well, while checking my neighbors’ house for frozen pipes, I slipped on the ice and broke my ankle—the mellifluous or something like that.

The only good things about lots of snow (small amounts are just boring) are: 1. It’s beautiful and therapeutic to watch and, 2. There’s NOTHING to do but make a long-simmering broth or soup, have a fire and drink nice wine.

He was always too clever to say anything crazy enough to get him mental health treatment. After he killed himself, quite a long time later after the forced eviction, the cops got a look at his journals which showed just how troubled he was. My brother and sister-in-law saw these too. Guns and the mentally ill do not mix well but these are complicated issues. Too easy for enemies to use labels of mentally ill to get some kind of leverage or just win battles. Crooked timber of humanity and all that. Not a NOTHING quote from Immanuel Kant. Immanuel Kant - Wikiquote



The last quarter of 2014 was a very tough period for my older brother and his wife with the loss of both her only sibling and his youngest brother as well a few months apart. And both due to all consuming mental health and/or addiction problems. Jim was addicted to carrying those semi-automatic pistols around. My younger brother to alcoholism for decades.
That’s a lot to say, Tal. I think you must be a very good man. Hats off to you.
