Yes Mother. lol

It’s NOTHING but nice to log on here and see people care. You get kind of disconnected from reality out here.

Thanks you guys for keeping the home fires (pun intended) burning. It means a lot.

Abby10 08-09-2018 07:48 AM

That's because YOU mean a lot. Without you, we would have NOTHING. :icon_wink:

Abby10 08-09-2018 07:54 AM

Or not have NOTHING.......well, you know what I mean. :laugh:

Abby10 08-09-2018 03:56 PM

NOTHING but great to have a good, trusted friend stop by to pick you up when you're going through difficult times.

So what's going on today with the rest of you? Obviously more than NOTHING......please share, for those of us not so fortunate to be in TV yet. :popcorn:

Funny stories, funny stories......I'm still trying to come up with one, tomwed. The funny part of my brain seems to be on vacation as of late, but I'll keep working on it. NOTHING like a good hardy laugh.

4 NOTHINGS - one post. Am I exempt for the rest of the day?

Grandson 7 years old just told me a yoke. NOTHING. What nationality are you when it’s #1 in the toilet?

Your a peeing. = European. Cute kid. :)

fw102807 08-09-2018 04:26 PM

OK here's a NOTHING story. We had a friend here who watched the house for us until we were ready to move. We drove for 2 days straight because we had 2 big dogs and even the "pet friendly" hotels had restrictions on how many and how big your pets were. We got here about 11:30 at night but the realtor misunderstood the day we were arriving and had not dropped off the key. We called our friend and he and his wife came over with a key and 2 bottles of wine and 4 glasses and that was our welcome to The Villages. We used an air mattress for the night and our furniture arrived the next day.

Wow, the story of your drive made me feel NOTHING but tired, but what great friends! They knew how to soothe the agony in more ways than one - lol

Isn't it more fun when things go wrong sometimes? When nothing goes wrong it gets a little boring and predictable. Mr. Rogers says when things go wrong, look for the helpers. They are always around. We all take turns being helpers. Helping feels pretty good.

Nucky 08-09-2018 08:19 PM

We checked into The Lifestyle House in Lake Sumter and were relieved to be here safely and loved the house we were given. The next day we got the dreaded call that the N.J. Closing was going to be delayed for an unknown length of time.

I called Pods and our unit was NOTHING but on its way already. Decision time? Decided to stay, things worked out in about two weeks. The money sure did calm our nerves. We now are totally out of N.J. Real Estate wise. What a relief.

Was it fun, not at all. Have we been through worse, of course. I’m sick of moving but you never know.

Haven't honored a NOTHING post as :eclipsee_gold_cup: in a very long time, but I think this time you're the winner, tomwed. Great stuff!

Of course you know what the prize is, need I even say it? Nope, I don't, already got my NOTHING in......:laugh:

No how no way unless I can’t control the situation. We’re NOTHING but home in The Villages with an occasional trip to Coleman to see friends.:1rotfl:

Yep, you must stay close to your friends, especially your NOTHING friends. When I get there we're going to have a NOTHING party. Maybe I'll even rent out the NOTHING restaurant if there's enough of us. Maybe we could get some old friends to attend :cool:

And of course, somebody has to start a NOTHING club. Here are the shirts I had made up already -

Do nothing club T shirt

Abby10 08-09-2018 09:55 PM

All lights appear to be on anxiously awaiting the evening report from the Kommander.

What a great bunch of NOTHINGS we have here........

I’m here. NOTHING but pooped. Long day. We lit lots of fire today to try to establish some control lines. I bet the acreage on the fire doubles tomorrow because of all the burn outs we did.
I’m too tired to shower. Thank goodness Mrs. K sends me off with those hospital bathing wipes.

Since nobody figured how hot the outhouse was. Can you tell me how hot my tent got today? It was so hot that my deodorant melted. lol

I can't even imagine the level of exhaustion you must feel. NOTHING but good to know you are alright though. Thanks for probably using your last ounce of energy to post. Sleep tight. I'm sure that wil be the easiest thing you've done all day. :)

Abby10 08-09-2018 10:36 PM

Btw, NOTHING but about 120 degrees. Do I get a prize for that?

I have no idea how hot. But it was definitely a dry heat. NOTHING lol. Almost forgot that.
See you guys tonight.

No, more like NOTHING but funny :1rotfl:

So, K, if I was a really good den mother and I lived closer I would be bringing you a new thing of deodorant......maybe in a spray form? I don't know - how high must a temp reach before that would explode?

And if somebody else was around here, his only concern would probably be what was going on in that tent to get it up to 120 degrees. Hey, he's not around to make trouble, so somebody's gotta do it. :p

Anyway, in case you are losing track of the days out there, it is Friday, August 10th. Usually a good day for you, TGIF and all, but probably not so much right now.

And that's exactly what an old friend, you know who you are :icon_wink:, suggested would probably happen if the NOTHINGS actually got together, so that shirt might be quite appropriate. Maybe we should have our names embroidered on them too, especially for those of us who are shy.....lol

Mrs. Nucky said if I swam in a straight line I would have gone past Cuba already. NOTHING can stop me now. I almost just forgot NUTTIN again.

They give a memory test at the Dr at each visit, no problem yet but here not as easy. :ohdear:

No problem at doctor visit, because while you work yourself out physically with your swim routine, we work you out mentally with NOTHING. One day your doctor will say your memory test is so good, how are you maintaining that and you'll say, "It's NUTTIN, Doc!"

Well the fact that I’m posting in the middle of the afternoon should tell you how things are going. Everyone just got pulled off the fire. The winds picked up and sent fire everywhere. They didn’t think we could hold it so off the fire we and.
They expanded level 3 evacs to a whole bunch of neighborhoods.

If that ain’t bad enough they’re expecting lightning tonight. So if the sirens start going off tonight we all have to get out of our tent and head into the gymnasium.

NOTHING but living the dream. lol

Kenswing 08-10-2018 06:31 PM

Please excuse the sloppiness of the previous post. I NOTHING but suck typing on my phone.

Glad to hear that you are OK but sad that things are so bad for the folks out there. When you get here you will think the hurricanes are NOTHING but a little wind and rain compared to that.

Just heard on the radio that a dozer on its transport rolled over. No information on injuries yet. Getting NOTHING but real now.

Don't think NOTHING of it. Just glad your doing OK. I've been following it on the news. I have no words. Stay safe.

Since you are in the woods do you have any confirmation about the Bear in The Wood's Thing?
You know what I'm talking about. :ohdear:

Funny you should mention that. We did in fact see a bear today. He was doing NOTHING. But I bet he does what bears do in the woods. lol
