Yup men love their power tools (toys?) I am allowed to touch NOTHING

Looks like we had NOTHING but a fun day today Bless yous all. I would have used the cast like your husband FW no doubt.

My Cadillacs both were done under the influence of Milk Of Amnesia, the stuff that MJ used. I heard a snip during the second operation, no doubt so they juiced me a little more. When I was a party boy a long time ago Thank God I only drank because I’m not very good at tolerating anesthesia in fact it scares the life out of me.

I’m desperate for spinal surgery but have to lose a few more biscuits before anyone will attempt it. Bad boy, gotta get in the pool. Take Care you all, Peace Out!

I could stand to lose a few biscuits myself. I was kind of hoping my gallbladder would weigh more but NOTHING doing.

There's my NOTHING buddy - Hey, Nucky! Sounds like you are getting your energy back.

"A few biscuits" - NOTHING but funny...lol

Keep the biscuits and skip the back surgery.. The thought of spinal surgery NOTHING but scares me.

Okay, 2 NOTHING back stories for Nucky -

I had a herniated disc repair back in 1988. It was quite successful but only because it was an easy fix. My surgeon told me his resident could do it but I insisted he do it because I didn't want anyone else messing with my spine. Of course, since I was out during the surgery I have no idea who really did it - duh. Anyway, the only reason I had it done was not because of the pain since I was managing that easily with Motrin (ibuprofen) and not even taking much of it, but I had lost all reflexes on my one side and my primary told me because I was so young the nerve damage would ultimately cripple me. You won't believe how I herniated the disc. I was pregnant with my son and fell down a flight of stairs. Knowing I was pregnant at the time I thought quickly enough to throw myself backwards so I would land (it was really a slam) on my back instead of my stomach.......mothering instincts kicked in real early for me.

Now on the other hand, my husband has had back issues forever. He will not even consider going under the knife. In his mid-30's he was diagnosed with a degenerative spine like that of an 80 year old. Probably from playing football and heavy weight lifting since he was a teen. He has learned to live with it but often times it's not easy. I tell you this, Nucky, because he would be the first to encourage you to get the weight off then work on building up your core and your back muscles to provide support to ease the pain. When we get down there I know he would be happy to talk to you about it and show you what he does to keep himself going. He has learned a lot of different techniques. I have never known him to take so much as a Tylenol. Some days I get frustrated with him because I wish he would, but he's NOTHING but stubborn about not being dependent on meds.

Well, I see Nucky has left the room and here I thought I was telling him NOTHING bedtime stories - lol

So K, if you're still awake, I have one last plea. I've noticed the view count has gone through the roof since you got back, not to mention the post count. I think that's NOTHING but a good reason why you should not leave us again.

Apparently crying doesn't work with you - lol

Sorry, Abby.. NOTHING did just fine while I was gone, thanks in no small part to your efforts. NOTHING will happen whether I'm here or not..

Well, I guess you have to do what you have to do. But I don't have to like it. I think I heard that line somewhere recently.

Rest assured, your NOTHING team will be here holding down the fort and praying for your safe return. You've got a great bunch here. I'd be NOTHING without them.

Good morning you lovely bunch of NOTHING’S. I get the idea and appreciate the new core concept but first we must find a Exorcist to help me exercise these poor eating habits. I’ve lost then regained the same tonage several times over the years, taking the pledge not to each time.

Some random man in a restaurant about two weeks ago who we got into a conversation about weight loss told me about a program called Overeaters Anonymous. It is based on the A.A. program. I have heard this is fantastic if you’re honest with yourself about the problem you are facing. I went to O.A. 40 years ago but didn’t keep going because of being lazy I guess. Anyway I was so on the good eating track before our mission of mercy and want to get back in the saddle ASAP. One day God willing I can get in the saddle while it’s on the horse.

Love all the feedback. One question?? Rolling Bundles? Your Gear?

My sister who is seven years younger than I am has had so many surgeries. Seems I cleaned all the healthy genes from the pool when I was born. She has had back surgery and surgery on her 2 feet and had part of her intestine removed. She has metal plates and screws everywhere and requires special screening when she flies. The poor thing is NOTHING but the bionic woman. So sad.

Gosh, that's a lot of intense surgery. Makes an appendix or gall bladder removal surgery seem rather insignificant. At least life can go on pretty much as before after those surgeries, but hers sound like they could be much more debilitating. Having problems with your feet alone can be pretty significant in how it effects your lifestyle.

Anyway, we have certainly been having "fun" discussing operations and ailments as of late. Darn, you'd think we were a bunch of old people - :laugh:

Anyway, it's Monday, August 20th. Hope K and his wife have an enjoyable day together and he doesn't have too much work to catch up on before "leaving" us all again. Well, I guess it could be worse. He could end up somewhere with no internet access. Then NOTHING would truly be in survival mode, so let's pray that doesn't happen. Can you put that on your placement form, K? That you must have internet availability or NOTHING will die.

Well the good news is that she just moved to Arizona which was her destination of choice. I was very disappointed that she did not want to come here but am happy that she did get away from the nasty New England winters. NOTHING but sunshine and warmth for both of us now.

I hate typing on a smart phone, apple or android. Does anyone use a talk to text app they would recommend? I could look online, and an anonymous review is better then nothing, maybe, but what is best is a review from someone you know who uses a talk to text app that woks with TOTV all the time.

In fact if I was a moderator----I would jump in this conversation too. That convenience would encourage growth.

I have visual text messaging on my phone and some of the messages are NOTHING short of hilarious, kind of like that old game Mad Libs.

Good for her. It's not always easy to make a move when you don't feel 100% but it can often be the best thing. It's a shame she didn't pick TV, but now you have different places to visit one another and have NOTHING but fun together in the process.

Since we have a pharmacist online, I have a question. I bought some metal bar stools with wooden seats and boy oh boy are they uncomfortable. I can't sew so I can't make cushions. I can't afford a professional. And the likelihood of finding a cushion that's the right color and fits is rather remote. So last night before the movie I was in Walgreens, looking for nothing in particular, killing time and I saw a bottle of stool softeners and took them before I went to bed but so far the bar stools are no softer. How long does it take to work?

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing, fw. Be careful what you wish for, tomwed. Just make sure you review your post before submitting it or it could be NOTHING but embarassing - lol - or maybe it will end up being NOTHING but punny!

Anyway, maybe somebody new to NOTHING will chime in here with an answer. It may be a good solution to K's "my fingers are too big" dilemma as well.

Yes, Arizona is a place I enjoy visiting. They have the best cactus there, the Saguaro, it is one of the only places that it will grow and it only grows in the southern portion of the state. I am NOTHING but happy for her.

:1rotfl::1rotfl::1rotfl::1rotfl: good one! NOTHING

OMG, that is the most hilarious pharmacy joke I have ever heard! This is NOTHING but getting printed and posted in my pharmacy today. :a20::a20::a20:

:1rotfl::1rotfl::1rotfl::1rotfl: This is NOTHING but hilarious also

Tomwed, the sad thing is I'm surprised we have not heard something like that before, and not as a joke but for real! We get the craziest things sometimes. A pharmacy technician I once worked with typed out really specific directions on an Rx label about inserting a suppository, right down to unwrapping it first, and so on. I asked her, "Why so much detail?" She responded, "Because I had a patient try to eat one once, wrapper and all."

Oh my, I let the directions go through as typed because I had NOTHING left to say. Sometimes I guess it's better to have too much information than not enough. :ohdear:

That's what I was thinking about.

There has to be some kind of voice control software. Something as easy as "Hey phone, open talk of the villages go to new posts and go to talk about nothing and read me the last post."

And the phone does that and then you say, "hey phone, enter the following in Reply to Thread: "I'm on the way home, order me a pizza with nothing on it. And send another one with the works to Tom's house."

That's flattering. I had a family of 8 [6 kids over 12 years] on my golf team. They were all good and the youngest was a girl who was better then most of the girls in the county. The first time she got in the paper she was most proud of finally making it on her grandmothers refrigerator. All those years of big brothers and sisters making the refrigerator and she had nothing until then.
I believe the refrigerator is the Trophy Room for most folks for the last 3 generations.

Nice try, Tom, but you may end up with NOTHING - lol.

I was reading how George Orwell's book 1984 has been NOTHING but surging in popularity lately. I have worked in Technology for most of my life but it now scares me. People are providing all of their information online, have devices that are listening and watching all the time and even sending away samples of their DNA to strangers.

I had to squeeze the word nothing in the post. Putting silliness aside I think there is voice control with smart phone. Like that thing Amazon sells for your at home network.

I will have to ask my husband about it. He is not a tech wiz but does keep up on a lot of that stuff.

I'd ask him now but he's NOTHING but sleeping.......again! He tells me I'm just jealous because I'm not as good in bed as he is :ohdear: - he's very punny too.

Punny NOTHING stuff and I’m not blowing the whistle on any Violation.

When my oldest son purchased his first house they were freshening up the landscaping in the front of the house. When we arrived there were four bags of bulbs that were empty except for one single bulb. When they were taking a much needed break I asked which direction was the cone end buried? Skywards or towards the ground? They said towards the ground, I said then you will never see them bloom. I took a Dunkin Donuts run for them and when I got back they were digging the bulbs up and pointing them towards the sky. There was a major fight while I was gone each accusing the other of being an idiot for not knowing NOTHING about gardening. I never told them until the flowers bloomed the next year. They lived to get even, not yet I say!

I was listening to a tech radio talk show last night. They make a smart phone case for $900 that can sense a firearm 130 feet away. That's nothing I want to buy or even think about.
1984 and Brave New World, but not 2001 were Science Fiction reading assignments in English class in High School or was it Grammar school, not sure. Now it's history.

In the olden days there were BLUE LAWS and Bergen County in N.J. Still enforces the. Simply put, shopping on Sunday is not possible, the stores are closed.

As teenagers our little gang worked at ShopRite, that’s the same as Publix. Well on Saturday we closed at 6pm and told one of the new guys that at 7am on Sunday we had to all come in to put the snow tires on the shopping cart as a monster snow storm was coming our way. He showed up and we still laugh about it when we see him 40 plus years later.

Love playing with other people’s head. Friends and Family Only!

When I was about 12 I was riding my bike, delivering papers and passed a tractor trailer that was just about to pull out of the parking lot. The driver yells at me"Hey kid, do you know your back wheel is rotating forward." I yelled back "Thank-you" stopped the bike and looked it over for a good 5 minutes before I caught on. [thanks for reminding me of that nothing story.]

You'll get no help from me on over eating. I have to really gear it down now that I'm home. You're on the right track though. Just keep swimming, just keep swimming..

Bundles are my clothes. I take a t-shirt, place it company logo side down. Put a pair of underwear and socks on top of it. Fold the sides in toward the middle then roll it into a tube shape then place a couple rubber bands around it. I take 15 of these in my fire bag. At the end of the day I repeat the process except I turn the shirt inside out. That way I know what's clean and what's dirty. If I can see the company logo it's a clean, if not it's dirty. NOTHING.. lol

If you find something that works let me know. NOTHING worse than typing on a phone..

NOTHING but hilarious..

I'm glad you're here. I'm just about ready to leave for work and thinking, gee, I hope you're still in bed for a good reason and not because you're sicker than you first thought. How's the sore throat today?

Anyway, about the phone thing - have you guys tried to use the microphone on your keypad and talk your way via google to TOTV then to the NOTHING thread? Not sure how far that will get you but my husband uses it all the time to look up stuff, call people, etc. Don't ask me because I know NOTHING and I'm sure you both already know that much. I guess the need for the app would come into play for the actual posting feature.

Sometimes the pressure to get your NOTHING in is real.

I just saw Mile 22. It was very exciting, action packed, guns, ammo, bombs, drone, you name it, nothing was missing except for one thing, the plot. Could someone explain it to me?
