Glad to have you back safe.

Anyway, it has been a busy day here with visits from everyone. Seems like NOTHING is getting back to normal except for you of course. Nice to pass the not normal card to you for a change. I'm tired of carrying it - lol

It’s too early for NOTHING. I’m going to try for another hour of sleep.

Today we are getting back to normal, NOTHING left but the cleanup. Why does the time go by so quickly now? As the saying goes, I knew I was going to get old but am just surprised how quickly it happened.

It just hit me in a NOTHING but a funny way that if I bought the VETTE it would have to come with a humongous shoehorn and crane. If it was today that I had to decide it would be a Little Caddy or maybe the big one but when I go in there I know it will turn into the Secret Service Type SUV. I'm staying home and trying to behave. Trying.

Safelite showed up yesterday and even though I gave them the VIN when I placed the order the window was the wrong one. Try turning in a lease without OEM glass all the way around the vehicle. It will cost you. So another day to sit and wait on Friday.:pray:

I knew that the days flying by was not going to change as I got older or even when I retired by what my dad said to me many years back. My mother had passed and he lived on his own for 5 years after that before he passed on. By that point in time he was totally blind. Because he wasn't nearby, I would worry about him for many reasons - safety, health-wise, and especially loneliness. One day we were talking on the phone and probably in expressing my concern about him one way or another, he proceeded to tell me how fast time went by for him. I was like "Really?". I just couldn't believe it, from a man who didn't get out of the house very often and was limited by his lack of sight. So now I'm not a bit surprised that I can't keep up with the time that is flying by me and know it won't change anytime soon...........NOTHING.

I'm so glad you're back. You keep me NOTHING but laughing. Funny how all of you guys are interested in classic cars. My husband's brother had about 20 of them including an old Model T with a rumble seat. It was more than a hobby to him - more like a lifestyle where they traveled with a club and most of his friends revolved around that. My husband never got into it like he did, but ended up picking up this Vette when he was a teenager and had it restored. My favorite part was the restoration process because then it wasn't sitting in my garage!

K must really be dragging. He has had next to NOTHING to say. Stay safe out there, brother!

Just a reminder, it's Thursday, August 30th. I'm not looking forward to my 2 workdays ahead, but somebody has to pay the bills around here - lol.

Actually, in re-reading K's last post, I hope he woke up in time! I mean we can keep NOTHING going but we can't be his alarm clock too. :)

“Mini” hutch
Name something that will go with my "Mini" starsky.

Information about Hurricane Shutters in TV
I'm gonna say that kind of information makes people shutter all over Florida.

You are on a roll with the classifieds -

NOTHING but good stuff. Maybe you could start a new way of doing classifieds that would get more hits (and hopefully more purchases) just for the comedic element.

Do you remember the amazing Kreskin? It was a Johnny Carson sketch. First you got the answer and then he opened the envelope and revealed the question. That was the funny part. I didn't consciously copy that format but now that I think of it, it seems a little like that.

[brought to you by the NOTHING'S Classified Department]

Have to be NOTHING but old to get the Starsky and Hutch bit. My favorite was The Man From U.N.C.L.E.

Yes I do remember, and yes again, you're right it does seem similar. Appreciate your contributions. Between you and Nucky, you guys sure know how to brighten our days here on NOTHING.

Be NOTHING but certain to include a phone number with each classified item listed to save yourself some grief.

The little ones in NJ watched and loved The Munster's. I couldn't believe it. I liked McHale's Navy. I read the other day that Tim Conway isn't doing too well healthwise. Just looking at Tim and Harvey Koreman just makes me smile.

Well then, I guess I'm NOTHING but official now because I got it - lol. I agree about the Man from U.N.C.L.E. even though I completely forgot about that show. Didn't they try to do a remake of it at one point? I don't think it lasted very long if I remember correctly.

That's NOTHING but funny about the grandchildren enjoying The Munster's. Sometimes you never know what might tickle their funny bones, but it's always more fun when it's something you experienced and enjoyed in your younger years as well.

Couldn't agree more about Tim and Harvey - classics, they were.

It was a movie I believe. It is so funny now to watch David McCallum as Ducky in NCIS after having watched him as Illya Kuryakin. There has been absolutely NOTHING on all summer and I can't wait for everything to start back up in a few weeks.
Magnum PI is also coming back. They are needing to bring the old shows back because the new ones are so lame.

The Munsters worked because Marilyn and the rest of the family thought she was too plain looking and a bit of an embarrassment. I didn't care for the show and preferred the Adams Family. That was based on a comic strip. I couldn't guess which way the show was going.
I looked up Chas Adams, the guy who made up the comics. I don't know if I manufactured this or it's an urban legend but i heard the guy who wrote the Adam's Family lived in a psychiatric institution. That seemed to be real to me.

here are the facts
The Father of the Addams Family : NPR

You were getting too used to using your NOTHING classified tagline for your NOTHING that you forgot your real NOTHING!

I liked Adams family better too for what it's worth which is NOTHING.

I can't guess where your NOTHING is...

I think I used enough NOTHINGS in my follow-up post to make up for it.

Oh, that's right, that would not be K-approved. Never mind. NOTHING.

I dropped the ball. I forgot about nothing.

You dropped your ball and forgot about NOTHING? You are having a bad morning.

Or was it just one of the balls from the decor basket? Inquiring NOTHINGS want to know.

oh no, my pork butt recipe is confusing, my balls are dropping and I can't remember nothing-----it's a good day though,,,,the dripped coffee all dripped into the drip coffee pot-----I wonder why it's called Mr. Coffee? Sounds a little misogynistic to me. My mom always made the coffee and filled the thermos while my father was getting ready for work. I must be channeling Seinfeld [TBS] this morning.

My grandson would have found pork butt to be NOTHING but hilarious. When we called the dog a slobber face he cracked up.

My goodness, you sound like you're having NOTHING but a Nucky moment there....lol

SAY WHAT???

Usually I follow right along but this post and the last about priests and rabbi's and kids registered nothing...…..Call me dense. Don't trip over your balls. I wouldn't want harm to come to you.

People tell me they enjoy my recipes and I posted one recently about onions, carrots and potatoes that begins with pork butt cooking in a crock pot.

I took a classified ad about a basket with balls, and a few other ads on the main thread and tried to turn it into something funny Johnny Carson would say in an Amazing Kreskin sketch he did for years.

I remembered I use to do that routine with the high school director many years ago. We would give phoney academy awards to our actors and stage crew. I would name 4 real actors and 4 phone movies like this:
Jack Nicholson in Five Easy Pizzas
Mark Scalzo [our student] in Death of a Salesman [the play we did]
[and 2 more silly movies or plays]
We got all dressed up and pretended it was the academy awards. The director and I were at the podium and she opened the envelope. Of course our student would always win. They would walk up and say something at the mic and accept our award. I miss those days and sometimes try to recreate them here in some small way.

I got side tracked on the Adam's family tv show and lost my place so I forgot nothing. Chas Adam, the creator is really funny.

I was listening to a conversation about why some religions thrive while others remain stagnant. Hundreds of years ago the Rabbi's could read and they taught their children to read along with math and science. These educated families continued to expand. Priests and Sisters could read and equally well educated but could not have children so the common good took a lot longer. What I didn't write is that the fear of God keeps people quiet. This training begins in Kindergarten for some of us who went to Catholic School. The clergy who use this kind of mind control are not being fair, to say the least.

No one is dense. I think it was Einstein who said if you can't easily explain something then you probably don't understand it. That stuck with me.

Tomwed, you impress me more and more as I get to know you through this forum. To remember all that and put it together like you did is NOTHING but impressive in and of itself. Heck, I can't remember what I said or wrote or typed 2 minutes ago!

Your wit and knowledge of so many different things, also impressive. Love the Einstein quote. I'm going to have to remember that - a good way to keep oneself humble.

And last but not least in my book, you can cook! Yes, I never forget that tidbit of info - a man who can cook. I forgot to check that off my list when I married my better half. I guess I was too enamored by his charisma....... or something like that. (I know it wasn't the Vette - lol.) Thank goodness he's pretty close to perfect in every other way - definitely a keeper.

you're right. It wasn't Seinfeld I was channeling, it was Knucky. Thanks dude, I hope you don't get nothing too corny in my mind getting stuck in yours.

That is NOTHING but wrong. I think you understand it too well and assume we also have the same knowledge. Pretty much if you are going to give me instructions you need to start with "take out a pan"

You might be onto nothing there. I'll stew on that. Speaking of stew, take out a pan...............

Had to run to town to get a new tire. Thought I would see how NOTHING is doing.

Yes I got up in time. lol

Glad to hear you retired early. crickets, something, nothing, hmmmm

I knew something was going on cause when you were channeling me I NOTHING but went blank for a couple minutes. I liked it. Please do it again at 2 AM so I can keep sleeping.

Glad you are only tire ed K. Be careful.

NOTHING but on fire now..oh no wait K is the fire guy you are the chef

Tomwed IS on fire today and maybe K got the signal and came back to be sure the NOTHING house wasn't in flames. Sorry I missed all the action here. I was too busy trying to put out another fire, but that's another story.......

NOTHING like a good fire story or picture, or truck story or picture of a truck or anything else remotely fire related.

Here's a NOTHING story-

So I'm upstairs trying to spring clean (well, fall clean at this point) the master bedroom. Realizing I can't move the darn furniture by myself to clean around it, I go looking for the strong man for some help. He's nowhere to be found. I look upstairs and down, in the basement and garage. Then I notice his cell phone is still on the kitchen counter so he can't have gone too far. Thinking at this point he must be out doing yard work, I go out and take a look up toward the street and there he is taking turns riding with the kids across the street on our tandem bike.

So much for finishing up that room today. On to making dinner since NOTHING is getting done upstairs......:ohdear:

One thing I realized, I'm finally getting into retirement mode. What doesn't get done one day will get done another. I finally quit sweating the lesser important things to make room for the more important. My husband is a lot smarter than me. He learned that lesson a long time ago. Those kids have been wanting to learn how to ride a bike for a long time now. God bless that man.
