Are you absolutely sure it was NOTHING but a dream? Maybe someone needs to take a trip there to check it out. I'd volunteer but I don't think the Kommander will give me the time off to go.

That is one vivid dream though. Maybe we need a dream analysis on that one. Lol

Yep just day 5.

Nucky make sure you get potassium in your diet. I’ve been woken up with my calf cramped up there’s NOTHING more painful. When I’m on a fire I make sure to eat a banana every day.

Have a great day everyone.

Like K said, a banana a day wouldn't hurt. In case it's a magnesium deficiency, a handful or two of almonds at night wouldn't hurt either. Water is always good. NOTHING but all natural, baby, at least to start.

It could be just the long drive causing it though. Hopefully that's all it is and it will self eliminate once you're back home. I'm betting on that one for now.

Same to you Kommander. I know I will. I agree that NOTHING would be better with our old friend back. If they could only confine him to NOTHING and keep him out of Fenney.

If things don't change, one of these days we may have to take NOTHING to him.

Have a great day, fw. I know it won't be hard to do. Enjoy every minute.

Based on a post in another thread, it sounds like you had a pretty fun family. Would like to hear more about them.

Here's a NOTHING story about my family -

My father was pretty strict about certain things. At dinnertime for example, he did not like any kind of commotion, not even conversation other than pass the butter or something pertaining to the meal. Telling jokes or loud talking was not acceptable. And busting out laughing because one of my brothers would chew the dreaded peas and then stick his tongue out at us across the table was a total no-no. We pretty much learned to keep things low key at the dinner table as to not upset dad. Manners were important to him and no bad language, ever.

So one day, I'm almost ashamed to say when we were all grown up, the whole family went out to a nice restaurant to celebrate something, I think it was Mother's Day. As we were waiting for our meals to come, one of my brothers said to the other, "Pass me the rolls". I saw the mischievous look in my younger brother's eyes, but before I could stop him he grabbed a roll and threw it through the air down the long end of the table to my older brother who of course masterfully caught it. My mother, sister, and I sat in horror as we all waited for my dad's response. Much to our surprise, after what felt like 10 minutes of dead silence although it was probably only seconds, my dad burst out laughing. That event marked the beginning of a whole new era in our family and probably to my father's great regret NOTHING was ever the same after that.

Nothing. I just needed to sneak in here awhile and sit quietly.

We all need NOTHING at least once in awhile.

God Bless your brothers for taking the chance, and your father for figuring it out. Nothing being the same was probably his greatest pleasure.

Thanks for that very sweet sentiment regarding my NOTHING story. :mademyday:

There's a 1940s Singer selling her Sewing Machine in the Classifieds. Do you think it's one of the Andrew Sisters? If it is I'll bet you double or nothing that's worth a lot of money.

I can't afford any more bets but if it's for NOTHING, why not! I can afford that - lol.

Good catch on your part though, tomwed, linking one to the other. I guess in The Villages, you just never know who might be there.

I am exhausted already! We are all doing a little bit of NOTHING for a little rest. Everyone has heard of Christmas in July but we had hide the Easter Eggs in August. So much fun though! Disney tomorrow...

Speaking of bets though, I've been thinking about this but I don't think I posted it yet.

My idea was to propose a cross-threading bet - Three Word Sentences versus NOTHING. The bet would be which group would fulfill their obligation to their respective bet first.

Any thoughts from anyone on this? I bet Nucky will have some - uh oh, another bet. :laugh:

did you catch the joke?----nothing?
Maybe you don't see the ad in the list of threads.
The ad reads 1940's Singer Sewing Machine for Sale. it's too corny

What a great idea! Sounds like NOTHING more than continued fun on your calendar. You'll need NOTHING but a good long rest after this is over, but worth every minute I'm sure!

I did Tom..Singer sewing machine. Very punny NOTHING joke.

Okay, you're going to have to NOTHING but explain it and I know that ruins the whole thing so if you want to wait until someone else gets it, no problem.

You'll learn as the others have before you, I'm not too quick. Some people get great pleasure out of that but I never mind. It's been the story of my life. :laugh:

Actually, I'm pretty good at figuring things out much later like around 2 o'clock in the morning. I wake up and say, "oh, that's what he meant!"......like I said, a little slow.

Duh.....fw, got it. I'm just so gullible, I thought it was for real. :ohdear:

What's even worse, I just burnt the top of the lasagna that I spent half the day making.......all over NOTHING. Lucky for me I wasn't making it for company and my guys will eat just about anything.

So it's NOTHING but for real??

I can just see K coming back tonight reading all of this, shaking his head, and saying...."Abby, Abby, Abby" :ohdear:

Well, at least you can't say I don't know how to make something out of NOTHING. It's one of my many talents.....:1rotfl:

Hope you guys didn't think I meant YOU got pleasure out of picking on me. I meant NOTHING like that, just so you know.

You know we love you . The joke is that it is a singer sewing machine and the Andrews Sisters were singers. NOTHING to it.

I need a heart emoji to put here but none to be found. Thanks, sister. :)

And NOTHING to it is right. I shouldn't have even had to "put my thinking cap on" for that one. Where did that expression come from anyway? Wasn't that from a kid's show back in the day?

I think maybe you were a bit young for the Andrews Sisters. You and K are NOTHING but the young whipper snappers.

Weren't they on Lawrence Welk pretty regularly? I spent a lot of time at my grandmother's when I was young and we always had to watch that show if we were staying at her house for the weekend. My husband watches the reruns all the time now. Why, I don't know, but for some reason he gets a kick out of it and he is younger than me! He has always been NOTHING but an old soul in a lot of ways.

NOTHING but the story of my life. lol

Have NOTHING but fun tomorrow fw. Which park are you going to?

Well hopefully I at least keep you NOTHING but entertained. After all, you do keep coming back for more - :p

So how was your day today, K? Just before you came on I was trying to see what the conditions were out there for you today but I came up with NOTHING.

I bet fw is NOTHING but sleeping. She had a busy day. I was pleasantly surprised that she took the time to visit here with us today. She's a real trooper. Now tomorrow might be another story if they're off to Disney.

You certainly do. lol
NOTHING but wash rinse repeat. The weather is turning cooler. Almost feels like fall. Got a little rain so again burn outs were delayed. If we can’t get these last few sections burned someone is going to have to babysit this thing until the snow falls.

You sure have had quite a wide swing of weather conditions, unfortunately none that have worked much to your advantage. Never really thought about the difference between how a little rain versus a good downpouring of rain can affect things so differently. This has certainly been NOTHING but an education for me. I am glad that the conditions don't seem quite so dangerous or as harsh for you this time around. Although I guess that can change on a dime as well.

I'd better let you turn in for the night. It's getting NOTHING but late for you. Not like they allow for much downtime as it is for you guys.

When It was over a hundred during my first stretch the probability of ignition was at or above 90%. Today it was 23%. NOTHING but an established fire will stay lit with numbers like that.

Anyway time to take my NOTHING and go to bed. Nighty night.

Heres a fire that is just smoldering now, its NOTHING but your little buddy Nuckypoppa. We had such a great ride the first day and hardly any sleep last night because of the cramperoonies. Damn, that's some painful experience. I drank eight bottles of water since 6 pm today so cramps should be cool and I'm wearing my Tommy Copper knee supports which should help.

We will have to discuss the BET when I'm fresh as a flower. Three Word Sentences was dead for a while but was burning it up for years. I love both. I just hate getting a NOTHING VIOLATION.

FW, bless you for the Disney thing. I really wish you the best you know that but its rough. At least you have the weather on your side hopefully.

I can't wait to mingle with the drivers in The Villages. I'll take them all over the Animals on the highway, no consideration for anyone, a true shame. Whatever all We can do is the next right thing. Stopped at a traffic light 15 minutes from home some yahoo with a Monster Truck went a little off the road and kicked up some stones and broke my windshield. It's just the time to get it straightened out that I care about. I guess they can fix it in the Pool parking lot. Mrs. Nucky was Red Hot, I loved it she went nuts which is rare. No sleep and babysitting Baby Huey Cramphead probably is what made her go bonkers. It only a windshield, we're okey-dokey and in recovery mode. Good Night You All!

Glad to hear you made it back safe, Nucky. Sorry to hear about your windshield - how frustrating after such a long trip. I'm hoping your leg problem will settle down now that you're back. If not, you may want to get it checked out.

It's Monday, August 27th in NOTHINGVILLE. I hope you have another safe day, K. It could be slow here today. Fw will be in Disney all day, Nucky needs to rest up, and I go into work this afternoon, but NOTHING will survive. It always does. Maybe tomwed will check in with a story or two.

NOTHING but the Magic Kingdom.
So strange when you are trying to light a fire and also put one out. Weather certainly is a factor.

So true. I love going places but NOTHING but hate the traveling part. Welcome home Nucky family welcome home. Here's a little NOTHING info for you volunteer firefighters (sorry K) are referred to as yahoo's

And my mind says NOTHING but "why?". Also, is K considered volunteer if he's getting paid? I like that kind of volunteer! lol Actually my dad was a volunteer firefighter.

I don't know it is NOTHING but firefighter slang just like the professionals (full time) are sometimes referred to as jakes
