I was NOTHING but disarmed by a comment from my sister about who I reminded her of. The whole time I'm thinking I'm me. I have no need to impersonate anyone so I didn't pursue the identity of the person she had in mind in case she named someone I don't care for.

About an hour later she went back to the above-mentioned subject and said it was a mix of two Soprano Characters. Now she had my interest, it's one of my favorite shows. She said I'm definitely a mix of Paulie Walnuts and Tony. I have the build of Bobby Bacala. I don't even realize it but I guess I do.

Long before The Sopranos, I had a beautiful collection of Duck's, expensive ones, my suits for work were like Paulie. I always wore white loafers before Paulie made it cool.
I'm not connected in any way shape or form probably! But act up and we'll see what's up!

She gave me an app on her phone with a Series of Soprano's questions and I scored 95%. Big deal, I missed one question. Whatcha gonna do bout it. Dat's what I thought, NOTHING. LOL Did I mention it is a miracle. She isn't bad, she made a great phone call for me 24 years ago that saved my life. Here's to another new beginning.

It's fun, interesting, and sometimes revealing to see ourselves through someone else's eyes. But your last sentence says it all. NOTHING wrong with looking at it that way. I mean 20 years is a long time. I'm sure a lot has changed for both of you in those years. One step at a time and keeping the positives about the person in the forefront of your mind will help in the process of reconnecting and healing any old wounds.

It's Wednesday, November 7th. I'm off to work while the rest of you do NOTHING.

Have a great day.....

So the elections are over and whether you are happy or not, one thing we can all agree on is we will now get a break from all of the nasty political ads.

Now everyone can get back to NOTHING.

dewilson58 11-07-2018 07:24 AM

More than nothing happened last night.

Some will wake up a little blue this morning.

I think that the only way you can tell if any politician isn't lying is if their lips aren't moving.

I don't think it matters much any more if they are red or blue because all they do is fight anyway. NOTHING much gets done anymore.

Don't forget the most important self-appointment to an office yesterday. That would be NOTHING but me. I love my new office I really DO! :clap2::duck:

I'll get to work on that as soon as I collect my Graft Envelopes just like the good old days!

Let me NOTHING but write this down, Taxes Down, Free Healthcare, Deficit Stays The Same. I've got the answer. Voo-Doo Economics.

I think someone may have tried this before: an economic policy perceived as being unrealistic and ill-advised, especially a policy of maintaining or increasing levels of public spending while reducing taxation. But for Mrs. FW I'll give it a shot! :boxing2:

Free lobsters would put GE and/or Barefoot off the hook of their three year bet and not for NOTHING.

The real answer if you want to think NOTHING but outta the box is to turn the entire country into The Villages. Let's see someone shoot holes in that thought. But first I have to set up a big a*ss P.O. Box to accept Amenities Checks from the entire country made out to NOTHING INC. LLC or in my name will be fine. I promise to report as much as the politicians do. The Politicians from both parties will be the shuttle & taxi drivers and the people driving those vehicles now will be forced into retirement and given $1200 a week for life. Free Golf Lessons & a Free paid for home in The Village of their choice. Oh, Yeah Baby. I hope this works out.

It may have a couple of rough edges but as my Disciples I mean equals you can help me work them out.

We are also taking an application for one woman who we shall call HMMMM...Leona H. who is tough as nails with the $$Bread$$ but smart and ruthless with eyes in the back of her head.

International Inmobiliaria is already taken. Maybe we can have the checks made out to NUCKANOMICS LLC.

Your thoughts, be nice! :1rotfl::1rotfl::1rotfl:

Nucky 11-07-2018 11:50 AM

We are going to need a Company Doctor, so I NOTHING but nominate GE. We shall donate a whole lot of money to Children's Funds and Operation Shoebox and Buy some Brand New Blood for my Pal Tal, he has a heart of Gold. He deserves a humongous surprise of something great. I'll get around to the rest of you later, I need time to think more.

I would also change the new route from the mainland to Fenney from a Bridge to a Tunnel as I predicted a long time ago that it would be safer. I would fine anyone who criticizes The Village of another. That's it for now gotta swim.

Ever since Elvis Duran of NY radio's Z-100 had a guest who said "Lobsters were the cockroaches of the sea"), I've had an aversion to them. So I stayed away from the 3-word thread because I found it too "lobster centric" for my taste. (Just saying).

And, up until now, I've simply had NOTHING to add to this thread. But since we are still in the election/public office frame of mind, I want to jump on Candidate Nucky's bandwagon. Oh, has he already won the election? Ok then maybe I can volunteer* myself for a post in his cabinet.

* In the context of this thread, the word volunteer shall in no way preclude a very large salary, fully paid medical for life, 50% of salary contribution to 401K, fully funded pension, and, of course, a Golden Shower. Ooops -- I mean Golden Parachute.

:welcome: to NOTHING.

I think Nucky was the only candidate on the ballot and the only one that voted. I believe the election was rigged.. :1rotfl:

Kenswing 11-07-2018 02:39 PM

We just got back from Costco. It's NOTHING but a good thing that I went to chaperone Mrs. K. If I wasn't there I think she would have bought every Christmas ornament they had.. lol

That is NOTHING but rumor. He was simply the most qualified candidate for the position and was unanimous in that.

Kenswing 11-07-2018 07:03 PM

Have we said it all? Is there NOTHING left to say?

Taltarzac725 11-07-2018 07:06 PM

Pretty hard to get to the Grand Canyon in a golf cart and not for NOTHING. Expanding on Nucky's idea of a country wide the Villages. And there is lots of NOTHING in many parts of the West. Nevada is mostly just open valleys and low mountains.

Golf carts at the Grand Canyon is NOTHING but hilarious. I guess when you think of it golf carts in a lot of places is pretty funny. Imagine having them in NYC for example.

Did Abby abandon NOTHING? :(

Hopefully she's alright and not out deer hunting again..

Nucky 11-07-2018 11:59 PM

I’ll NOTHING but talk to yous tomorrow. Are we going back to you know where the Golden Showers have been mentioned lately? Cold over there. Need snow tires on the Golf Cart! You all are in on The Gravy Train! Stress Free, big buckaroonies $$$$

I don't know why her husband thinks these long days is a good gig and something she should hold on too. The long commute dodging the deer seems NOTHING but dangerous. I think they definitely need to get themselves down here and claim victory. Win win!

I was beat up last night. Traffic was so bad that it added an additional hour on my drive. My only long day is Wednesdays unless I fill in for someone. The others are less than 8 hour days. It is the best and easiest job I've ever had and pays better than I've ever been paid. I got a great deal when I landed this job. The icing on the cake is how much they like and appreciate me. My husband does often remind me of that. Probably because he has been in the same profession and knows how bad it can be and how fortunate I am. In the meantime, it will be interesting to see how things go this trip down to TV. It's been awhile since my husband and I have been there together and alone. I'll have to be sure we have so much fun he won't want to come back here.

Anyway, I have not abandoned NOTHING but I am still in the "pause and reflect on NOTHING" mode. I even researched the idea of taking a vow of silence :shocked: for NOTHING more than my own good. Well probably for other's good too.

Today is Thursday, November 8th. I hope you all have a wonderful NOTHING kind of day. Oh, and thanks for your concern. I really do appreciate it.

I do hope that it works out that way and that you do decide to stay. Posting on TOTV is NOTHING but conflicting. Sometimes it is very fun and sometimes it is very draining. I think a lot of it also has to do with online news as well. I often find I just want to turn it all off and go read a book.

You are NOTHING but right. Living in the world in many ways is becoming less fun by the minute. Living in a bubble sounds more inviting every day. :)

Is that even possible for a married woman? I've never heard anything like that.. :duck:

I'm glad you're still with us. And yes, the world sucks. But if we all retreated from it it would suck more.

NOTHING escaped me.. lol

Kenswing 11-08-2018 10:14 AM

Good news, bad news.. Good news is that it's a nice sunny day. Bad news is that it's only 31 degrees. This cold snap NOTHING but snuck up me. I think I'll finish winterizing equipment today.. lol
