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.

That is a great NOTHING story and it is very true. No one is going to put she kept a clean house on your tombstone.

Yeah, well if I wasn't willing to change my ways, my husband would have probably thought about it........time to give up the hang ups so to speak. Life is NOTHING but shorter all the time.

Yes as I get older I have totally changed my priorities. I avoid people who upset me and stop worrying about unimportant stuff. I focus on what simplifies my life and what adds enjoyment to it like NOTHING.

Please do NOTHING but tell that to Scrubbing Bubbles.

Maybe Mr. Abby was lining up a buyer for the bike, its time to run down the household inventory. S C R E W the house. Don't charge the next person extra for the dust bunnies! :ohdear:

Sorry, Nucky, but I think you were due. I didn't want to be the only one these days forgetting my NOTHING. Fw and K are both the bomb with NOTHING. The rest of us......well, the rest of us have to make sure they have jobs to do in NOTHINGVILLE. I'm going to start calling them the NOTHING busters or maybe that should be NOTHING bouncers. What do you think?

tomwed 08-30-2018 07:50 PM

a nothing story
About five years into my parents retirement I was talking on the phone and my mom told me that my father was upset because he spent all day working in the garage and got nothing accomplished. A feeling I know all too well. My dad was one of those guys that has to get the car in the garage every night. It was a one car garage and he would pull it out in the morning and then the next hour was spent setting up portable work benches, a drill press got pulled out of nowhere, a lathe dropped down from the ceiling in a way Mr Gadget would have envied. Of course at the end of the day everything was reversed. Anyway my Dad was upset and my mother, Marge told him "Jack, you are retired, you have nothing you have to do and all day to do it. Why get upset?"

Great advice but I know just what my dad was feeling. That's how we are built.

Wow, I can't believe that. And that's not the only time you've gotten away with forgetting your NOTHING. You're pretty slick! Then there's me - even if I did get away with it, I would probably NOTHING violate myself. Sometimes being too honest can be a curse - lol.

NOTHING nutcrackers! I'm dying laughing. tomwed will be coming up with a recipe for chestnuts and Extra Virgin Olive Oil from Ugly Olives. That is in the top three lines on here of the year.

So far I vote for Chatbrat saying Airbnb is renting houses out for quickies, Someone asked whats a quickie and they were answered that a quickie is just a memory. What a gang of comedians. NOTHING but love it. :1rotfl::1rotfl::1rotfl:

If there is a statue of limitations? How long is the statue? Who posed for the statue? Can someone take a picture of it and show the rest or us?. Is the statue holding something like the statue of liberty or holding nothing like Lincoln who finally got to sit down when he was posing.

You don't have to worry about your wallet or pocketbook but I love to get away with stuff and test the boundaries of everything.

I'm NOTHING like suggesting that anyone try this but get an envelope and put the person who you want to receive the envelopes name in the spot where the return address goes. Then put your name in the center of the envelope. Now the most important thing, do NOTHING, no stamp. Where will the envelope end up? This is against the law and I would never do it but can you believe people sit around figuring out this kind of garbage. NOTHING but a shame. Absolutely terrible.:blahblahblah:

NOTHING nutcrackers has a nice ring to it.

If Tom does come up with that recipe I hope he gives good details and then we will find him a statue modeled after NOTHING.

Nucky 08-30-2018 08:16 PM

By the NOTHING way. Knock the Hyundai line of vehicles off the list. Its a long story but it just isn't going to work for us. What a shame, the Sonata seemed to be a quality item. Onward and upward. Second try at the windshield repair tomorrow.

When he's done tomorrow is the Ford & Caddy, dealers. GMC & Buick on Saturday. One other car on the list but I don't want to come off as NOTHING but a snob.

There is a new Yugo dealer opening up. :1rotfl::1rotfl::1rotfl:

Something for tomwed to work on besides his NOTHING book, except he only has less than 4 months to complete this one. Wow, could that be true? Christmas will be here in less than 4 months? Then it will be 2019. One year away from my moving year where I'll wait in anticipation for my free dinner. Of course there are always loopholes so we'll see how that works out......

Abby10 08-31-2018 04:56 AM

Good morning, everyone. It's Friday, August 31st. The heat wave has lifted here and fall is right around the corner. Fall used to be my favorite time of year with the beautiful changing leaves and the crisp air, but anymore I see it as NOTHING more than a prelude to the dreaded winter months. Another one of my many flaws that I'm working on - missing the beauty of the moment. Slow down, Abby.......patience grasshopper. I have to keep reminding myself to enjoy the moment and not to project all the time.

So I'm off to work for the day and will probably come home exhausted. I'll check in when I get back, but no promises to K that I'll be awake to greet him tonight. Obviously last night didn't work out so well either. Hate to see K come home to NOTHING, but hopefully he sees our NOTHING lights on and realizes we gave it a shot at least. Can't express how appreciative I am (and I'm sure the rest of you are) that he takes time out of his busy day to check in with us and let us know he is okay. Have a safe day, K. Hopefully you will be home to Mrs K soon and your beloved couch - lol.

I hated fall almost as much as winter. The foliage was beautiful for a few weeks and then it left piles of dirty rotting leaves everywhere and dead looking trees. We always had someone come and rake them up Thanksgiving week because by then they were pretty much done. One year we got a big early snowstorm and it was just a mess. Then the dreaded winter came. I think that is why I don't like white because it reminds me of snow which is NOTHING I ever want to see again. No white walls or cabinets for me.

Kenswing 08-31-2018 06:32 AM

August is NOTHING but out of here.

Don’t worry if you’re not up tonight. Just means I have less typing to do on my phone. lol

Have a great day everyone.

I hate car shopping, NOTHING but a bad game. "Oh let me go check with my manager" "That's the best we can do" (unless you walk out) "but we'll give you a cup holder" "that's only 100.00 over our cost" "blah, blah, blah, blah' lie, lie, lie"

I was at a dealership all day getting my car serviced. It took awhile and while waiting I saw McCain and Franklin's services. I'm not one to call divine intervention but weren't the skies somewhat clear when McCains coffin was removed from the car, and didn't it pour going up the stars and clear again once it was in the rotunda. Please don't see this as me trying to be funny.

How about a blue tooth external keyboard? I think it would sync with your phone. I got lucky and bought one at goodwill for $4, practically nothing. That was in TV 3 years ago. I stopped at GW today because I was passing by. The store is not as orderly as it used to be and the prices seemed like they doubled. That's why I don't go anymore.

That's a good idea, they even fold up. $4 was NOTHING but a great deal so I think it will cost a bit more now.

here's on with great reviews for $20----and it's backlit

It's universal so if you replace your phone this will still work. The laptop i use is not worth fixing. The keyboard went bad so I use an external one I got at GW too. The laptop does not have bluetooth so i use an old fashion wired one. It sits on my lap. Nothing goes to waste.

Thanks for posting the early morning day and date greeting. NOTHING like having good back-up for NOTHING. :) Was running a little late for work today but already caught up here so thought I'd check in.

I'm not going on a NOTHING strike but thought I would limit my posts, especially the length of them, until the Kommander gets home. I think I'm wearing him out and he can't keep up after such long days. But wait 'til he gets home......then he'll have to put up with me again - lol.

You are NOTHING but the man. For $20 bucks how can you beat it? Mine is ordered already. Now I will have no NOTHING excuses for the poor typing surfaces of the Ipad & iPhone. One problem though, what happens if you have no lap? :1rotfl::1rotfl::1rotfl:

Talk to Yous tonight. Peace Out. :)
