That might get up to a Category 5. It is very close to that now.

Old girlfriend's birthday is October 12 and have been thinking of sending her an e-mail but may just send her some nice thoughts. She was my student in Legal Assistance to MN Prisoners then asked me to move in with her as she had a extra room in her apartment and I was looking for a place. Instant girlfriend but it took a while as she had some serious issues to deal with unfortunately but I have great memories of October 12 and not for NOTHING. That and a red dress she had on. Took her on a dinner train ride in Stillwater back on October 12, 1989. She argued with our fellow train traveler most of the trip as he hated lawyers. She graduated from the U of MN Law School in 1990 and started clerking for a judge while remaining a pen pal of mine until she married around 1993. Zephyr Dinner Train in Stillwater, Minnesota

I would like her to take a gander at some stuff online though. She is very high up as a court administrator in another state other than MN or FL. She was extremely familiar with me and my life story and may still be.

She does not do Facebook like many of the women I have dated in the past and some recently. Some of these ladies are on Facebook and may be on Talk of the Villages as well on occasion.

I really hate FB and only have a very limited number of very close friends and family on it that I want to keep in touch with. I respond to NOTHING and believe NOTHING I see on there because most of it are just like farming posts and that is how people get hacked.

"Like-farming on Facebook is a technique in which scammers create an eye-catching post designed to get many likes and shares. Posts often give people emotional reasons to click, like, and share, such as adorable animals, sick children, or political messages, when the scammer collects enough likes and shares, they will edit the post and add something malicious."

That is my public service announcement for today.

You do have to watch out for some extremely creative scammers on Facebook. I know a lot of women who hate Facebook for various reasons. And they use it not at all or very rarely.

It is very useful to communicate with some people who are usually very hard to have any contact with and not for NOTHING. You do have to be extremely careful though in believing whatever is posted on Facebook.

Did you make him NOTHING but a gluten free cake?

Thanks for adding such pertinent info to the morning NOTHING report. Praying for all of you in TV as well since you are only one county away from the warning area.

Happy Birthday to your son. We were thinking about having another child but that pesky Deed Restriction nailed us.

Those poor people, our neighbors are in trouble. I wish there was a way to help them now. We have people who may be coming to us from Georgia. They took us in during Irma. :pray:

Woke up today to an absolute total shame of a job on our beautiful lawn. I'm not complaining about NOTHING, its a disaster, I hope we don't lose the lawn. They sent a new crew. I guess I'd rather have my problem that the problem of other near us. There will be no :1rotfl: today until later.

Yeah, I forgot how grumpy men can get when they're sick, until they decide they're hungry. Then all of a sudden you're NOTHING but their best friend......grrrrr

No that would be me when I am sick. My husband is NOTHING but stoic but I whine continually. I am such a brat.

It's been kind of overcast and we did get some rain but NOTHING much at all. I am wasting all my NOTHINGS in one post and then later I will be looking for them.

Was wondering what was going on down there. Thanks for the update. Good to hear it is mostly NOTHING for all of you in TV. :)

Anyway, I was posting from the gym just to be NOTHING but a smart aleck. My cousin decided to go use the hydro-chair or whatever it is, and I thought I could last on the treadmill til she was done. Well I almost did. That's about the time I decided I'd rather do NOTHING. :)

Abby10 10-10-2018 08:26 PM

There is absolutely NOTHING going on. I finally get home and both my guys leave. You don't suppose they're trying to tell me something, do you? Well, at least my son must be feeling better. He's been sick since Saturday, so glad to see he's at least able to enjoy his b-day.

Aren't you funny? The treadmill did NOTHING for me tonight. I should have been :boxing2: instead if I wanted to work up a sweat. Too bad you aren't nearby........I could use a good punching bag.

Like one of my Facebook chatterers who has some girly boxing hands. And not from NOTHING. 24 wins, 21 KOs. This is out of 24 fights. My parents' bridge partner, Mills Lane, would be very proud. He was a boxer and then a well known referee. He did the Tyson-Holyfeld fight and was on Celebrity Death Match as a voice actor for a few years until his 2002 stroke.

She is an interesting person. Fun to mix it up with verbally as in writing not talking on Facebook.

I do not box though and am not a physical kind of violence person. Last person I boxed with later shot me in the left pinky with a BB gun after aiming at my eye. I convinced him to try to shoot between my fingers and he missed. Thank goodness I had a different "friend" with me at the time and this shooter was soon in some kind of violence prevention program his parents put him in. I see that he runs a business in Reno, Nevada now. This happened when I was around 15 but got me away from my rather violent friends and into reading books which intensified as soon as a certain English teacher at Earl Wooster HS took me under her wing and got me reading books like Anna Karenina.

You have certainly had a very colorful life. Makes me feel like NOTHING but the poster child for boring, though, given some of your experiences I am not complaining.

I have pretty scarred up hands and feet from these friends and my stupid decisions but one of him was always doing even stupider things like fishing for carp in Hidden Lake behind Rattlesnake Mt. in Reno, Nevada with a machete. He missed the fish and cut open his leg. He also put a 45 shell in a very old pistol he found in the dirt around Rattlesnake Mountain and blew off a good part of his right hand. He was whittling himself down to NOTHING by doing very stupid stuff.

I would usually hunt rattlesnakes with one of his younger brothers and would make a lot of noise while walking with my clumsy self. We never did get a rattlesnake when I was along with these brothers even though their various bedroom walls were full of rattlesnake skins.

I had the frame of this pistol without any firing pin in my bedroom for a long time as this oldest brother in this family-- the guy with the scarred up leg and hand-- gave it to my older brother who left it for me to have when he left Reno to work on a ranch in Basque country in central Nevada.

We do sound like NOTHING but squabbling siblings at times, don't we?

I'm being NOTHING but lazy this morning.........and frustrated with my laptop and printer. Since my husband touched it last I'm blaming it on him. Although in all honesty, he is the fixer around here. He hooks everything up and makes them work while I essentially know NOTHING. Although if you let me mess around with it for awhile I sometimes figure it out, like this morning.

So before the whole day gets away from me, it's Thursday, October 11th, and a yucky, rainy day up here. I'm hoping to have to go nowhere today and maybe get something done here at home. Then again, taking a nap sounds like a good idea too.

Tal, you're becoming a real NOTHING on here, often posting even before the morning NOTHING report and reaching personal performance goals on NOTHING with your post count. I think you've even been the last NOTHING to post some evenings. We may end up having to give you a NOTHING title around here. :)

I think that's the most NOTHINGS I've ever typed in one post!

It was my turn to NOTHING but worry about you. I was just about to inquire as to your whereabouts. It figures you were busy worrying about lost cookies. Well, I guess as long as you don't lose your cookies, we're all good.....lol

I agree with you there. I was trying to think of a statement to add to my post to reflect that it wasn't nearly as serious as a health issue, for example, but as I said I'm being lazy today. :icon_wink:

Your boss had NOTHING but an excellent way of saying it for us.

I don't think the bail would be the biggest problem there if it was set at 10 million. NOTHING but a bigger problem there.

Just NOTHING but checking in. Lawn still a wreck but hopeful for help today. The main thing is our friend who was NOTHING but lumped up is back 100% mentally after those nasty pills finally wore off. Now several weeks of therapy and we should have him back home. The rehab is on 441. FANTASTIC.

Sorry about your lawn problem. May not be a life threatening problem, but NOTHING but frustrating.

Glad to hear about your friend. Those are the situations that really matter.
