Seriously, why do they call it that? Retire - like tiring yourself out over and over again? Sorry to hear that you must have had a long day. Did you go to the gym afterward? Lol

So sure, retire in a year or so when I do. Then we can move to TV at the same time and take each other out to dinner. :1rotfl:

I'm guessing I'm still NOTHING but safe with my 5 year plan. TV has to be your AND hubby's primary residence before you can win the bet. :1rotfl:

You and your NOTHING details. I better get to sleep before I get all worked up here or I'll be crying the retirement blues tomorrow night.

Love that AND though - you obviously knew what I was hoping to get away with. I should know better than to try to get one over on the Kommander. :ohdear:

I'm afraid to buy the book entitled Fear. I would read it if it cost nothing with one eye closed. Do I need help?

There you are, tomwed. So you've been living in fear recently. I'm sorry to hear that but no reason to hide. So here's some good news and bad for you. The bad news is if you're posting on NOTHING you probably do need help. The good news is you have a lot of good company on here who are most likely in the same boat. :1rotfl:

So today is Wednesday, September 12th. I'm just focusing on getting through this one day, then 4 days off. I may be so happy at the end of the day that after work I'll even go to......oh, never mind. K, hope your day is not so long and tiring as yesterday but as my husband says they don't call it work for NOTHING.

Have a great day everyone. See you all later!

As long as the boat isn't the Minnow or then I'll have Fear. I remember last year when we had hurricane Irma. The worst part were the days and hours before just waiting to find out how bad it was going to be. When it was actually here it was almost a relief. NOTHING I hope happens again.

Nucky 09-12-2018 07:26 AM

Speaking of Fear, somewhere during the trip we passed by Cape Fear. That was the place where one of my former favorite actors made a movie called NOTHING other than Cape Fear. That movie and The Texas Chainsaw Movie scared the NOTHING out of me. I'm still ascared when I done think bout them there films. My wife loves those scary films and wants to see the movie called NUNS. The women in her circle of friends love those kind of movies. I'll have NOTHING but None Of The Nun's, they already damaged me and my friend W enough, Whack!

The worst movies I ever had to endure was the Series of Movies called SAW. I just got chills just thinking about it.

That seems to be called The Nun, Nucky. I saw all the Saw movies. Pretty bloody. NOTHING like Revenge though. Buckets of blood in that one. A woman getting revenge on the men who almost killed her and one had also raped her.

I am a baby. I don't like scary movies and have never been on a roller coaster (well maybe just a kiddie ones with my kids when they were little) I like NOTHING but peace and tranquility now and that is what I strive for like living on the Small World ride at Disney.

They seemed to hide this one or sold out of them when I went to Barnes and Noble to buy a copy of it yesterday. Not for NOTHING though as this is the Villages. Lots of good books out there though or on the shelves now at Barnes and Noble.

Except when facing a hurricane like Florence and not for NOTHING. That looks like one HUGE storm bearing down on the Carolinas. I wonder how my friends at the North Carolina Central University Law Library will fare? Big Facebook interacters with me. They closed the law library as the storm Florence approaches. They paid my way for a job interview in Durham, NC in late 1994. Nice campus. I had not known that it is a primarily African-American school when I had applied but quickly discovered that while preparing for the job interview in NC while in Chicagoland.


We still think of one another. The NCCU law library staff, law professors and I.

Had not been to the Carolinas before that but had had a U of MN law school roommate for 9 months who was from there and eventually went back there after working for big law firms in big cities like Chicago and LA.

We just invited the people who took us and our old dog Barney in for a week when we bailed out during Irma. The hardly knew us and lovingly invited us into their world in the who the hell knows where we were in Georgia. I hope they accept, it would be NOTHING but an honor to spoil them rotten for as long as they want. I think they will accept because they just asked for our address. NOTHING but fingers crossed. Have to get a couple of new fresh Propane tanks. They BBQ or Deep fry everything. Yippee the party is on. What wonderful people. We'll see. And they don't drink, even betterererer!

fw102807 09-12-2018 07:58 AM

Florence is not NOTHING and definitely should be feared. Prayers for anyone in it's path. The scariest thing about it is it's unpredictability and wondering exactly where it will strike and how bad.

The big problem with that is...the rats always win. Just a little NOTHING knowledge in case you didn't know.

This is the kinder gentler part of the operation. Cross threading is encouraged. We even have one Cross Dresser. I'm not telling you who but it's not me. You are pretty much good over here unless you forget Your NOTHING. Some Non NOTHING posts have been sliding through, Not One Of Them Was Mine! :boxing2:

Saw a family on the news that is evacuating to Disneyworld. They are my kind of people. They said there was NOTHING they could do about it so they are making the best of it. They may get back to a disaster but they will have fun memories.

"Nolite te Bastardes Carborundorum". In this case the ******* is Florence. I suppose we would call her a real bitch on the NOTHING thread.

The last several days have brought up NOTHING but things that are uncomfortable to think about, 9/11, Irma.

These people who came up with this plan are thinking outta the NOTHING box. Why not make the best out of this terrible situation. I am hoping for a miracle for those people in the path of the storm.

The people we thought were coming are staying at their home and riding it out. He explained to me that they are far enough inland in GA that they should be fine. :pray::pray::pray:

I remember Irma in the Villages about this time last year and those winds maxed at 75 mph if memory serves. 75 mph is strong but almost NOTHING like 120 mph. Or even higher.

There was a fellow Villager and I believe his name was Tucillo. NOTHING we saw or heard calmed us more than his reports. He dealt in information built upon his being in the weather business his entire life. If the details are not exact forgive me because it's been an entire year. What a NOTHING other than a selfless guy he was.

The weatherman on Wesh 2 with the dark circles around his eyes had us ready to ask for a refund and head north. I never once ever worried about the weather before in the North even during the Sandy Storm. There is a difference down here and the weather is ferocious. It's still so NOTHING but worth it to live here.

Kenswing 09-12-2018 10:51 PM

Did Abby stop off at the gym again? She didn't get her required NOTHINGS in today. I hope this doesn't become a habit.

Tucillo was awesome. We never lost our power and I read his updates all night. Irma was first supposed to go east and then west and it finally came right up the center. We lost 2 palm trees but other than that NOTHING bad happened.

I've NOTHING but experienced this before on Three Word Sentence thread. You become close with people that you have never met. When they go missing it is concerning. Mrs. Abby put her heart into keeping this going even when we were in an Ebb.

Heres to hoping we are in the flow mode later today. Probably helping someone with a project of some sort. :pray:

I was under the impression that those from the Three Word Sentence gang actually hung out together, dinner, golf etc. WRONG. But it was fine the way it was I just misunderstood. Won't be the last time.

We and one other couple were the only ones to Bug Out, there are 8 couples in our little gang. We found out a big difference during that time. The people whos home we were invited to treated us as if they knew us their entire life. That is not exactly the way we were accustomed to. They told us it is The Southern Way. It was the Mom & Sister and Husband of our friends. They even accepted our pup Barney and loved him to pieces also. Their cooking took most of the anxiety out of not being at home. We ate like we were going to jail the next morning.

We headed back when we found out the power on my street had come back on but it was out when we got home. We saw some heartbreaking things with people who have several years on us. We understand they had been without electric for about 7 or 8 days. Heres to hoping for the best for our Northern neighbors. :pray:
