I had read that too as well as The Onion Field and Crime and Punishment. These were as a teen. And not for NOTHING.

The Onion Field - Wikipedia

I get back tomorrow night. We have so much more not NOTHING planned for today. My daughter is like the K man she is a wonderful planner and always makes sure we have fun activities when we visit.

Nucky that is great about your friend. In our neighborhood everyone helps each other out and it makes it a very nice place to live.

My neighborhood is great too. The last one we lived in Palm Harbor our next door neighbor to the south had various tenants who seemed to be clients of a criminal defense lawyer. Some were OK; some not at all and not for NOTHING. The Coast Guard helicopter pilot liked to check up on his wife with very low fly overs; the pit bull trainer dragged one of his pooches from a leash out the driver's seat window and left a trail of blood for the police to follow to his house and brought in the wrath of PETA with their followers when it made all the local Tampa Bay news stations; the grifters often seemed to let their dog out and I would be the one chasing it around the neighborhood. I did have some jobs watching their pet when they were out of town though.

190, 750 views as of 11/24/2018 8:48 AM EST. Really like those numbers for NOTHING views. We should easily get to 200,000 views by 12-14-2018. :popcorn::bigbow:

Thanks, Tal, for keeping NOTHING going. Not very busy here today so far......just trying to stay out of trouble which is not always easy for me. :)

I doubt you even know what real trouble is. I bet you were NOTHING but a good little girl growing up weren't you?.. lol

Do I NOTHING but know you in "real life" because you read me like a book? Hope that's not a bad thing to say.......lol

If you knew the kind of books I read you might say NOTHING but something different.. lol

Catch-22 | Book by Joseph Heller, Christopher Buckley | Official Publisher Page | Simon & Schuster

Catch 22 and One Flew over the Cuckoo's Nest were two books I really enjoyed which I read in the 1970s and not for NOTHING. More about bureaucracy run amok rather than crime and punishment. https://www.amazon.com/One-Flew-Over.../dp/0451163966

My great uncle Robert Trueblood got me started on the M.A.S.H. books as well. List of M*A*S*H novels - Wikipedia

Same guy who tried to convince me that his maternal grandfather or something like that was related to Henry L. Stimson and that he had met Stimson as well as did my grandmother. That is the Secretary of War from just before WWI and then during WWII.

Doing NOTHING today but enjoying Rossini’s opera Guillaume Tell performed by Southwest Opera. womr.org. Outer Most Radio in Provincetown.

OMG, funniest thing today. On the home page is a message from a woman who wants to rent, and mentions she has a 12-pound s-h -i t -z u. Can you believe the auto censor removed the first four letters and replaced them by asterisks? LMAO!

My friend and nearby Village resident, Ron, had Scout who was one of these dogs and when Scout died he got Scout ll which is almost the twin of that s-h- i--t - z-u. He got rather angry when you emphasized the first syllable in a certain way when calling out the breed of this pooch. And not for NOTHING.

NOTHING but the same thing will happen with a certain type of mushroom.. ****ake.. lol

Oh, and that was a NOTHING Violation..

Oh, s..h,,I,.t! NOTHING ventured...

I think it is very cool that you can enjoy opera. It is NOTHING I could ever appreciate but I think it is wonderful that some people do. My daughters in laws are big symphony fans which is NOTHING I understand either but I think it is wonderful that people can have different interests and still get along.

Oh, hello. I am so, so sorry you haven’t had enjoyed an opera . Please don’t say it’s NOTHING you could enjoy. No, no, no! You’re smarter than that.

On Saturday December 15, at 12:45, The Rialto in Spanish Springs. La Traviata. The music is gorgeous as is the staging and costumes. THERE ARE ENGLISH SUBTITLES.

La Traviata is probably in the top five of the most popular operas. The broadcast is a live performance featuring sensational singers and actors filmed at a live performance at the Metropolitan Opera in NYC.

If you never watch another opera, let it be this one. Then, if you still don’t care for it, oh well...

I nothing but totally agree with HenryK. Now, FW, assuming you can't catch the performance at The Rialto, I highly recommend the filmed version of La Traviata, also with subtitles, that was directed by Franco Zeffirelli, sung by Teresa Stratas and Placido Domingo.

I have turned several neophytes into fans. You can pick it up pre-owned on Amazon for $6-7.00

Amazon.com: Verdi: La Traviata: Teresa Stratas, Placido Domingo, Cornell McNeill, Franco Zeffirellli: Movies & TV

It is nothing but celestial, trust us.

If anyone has the Balleensker's to try and read me like a book I suggest you skip several of the chapters from the late 80's & 90's cause you may not love me as much after you finished those. :boxing2: Just kidding straight A's perfect student, son, employee, employer brother, father, friend, associate, partner, financier, collector, advisor, consigliere etc. ad nausea, need Pepto. O yeah and negotiator and I majored in English Literature.

The Rain In Spain Fall's Mainly On The Plane! :1rotfl::1rotfl::1rotfl:

How Dare You Insinuate I should Tolerate Such Imbolical Insults, My Constitution Is Highly Insulted! :blahblahblah::blahblahblah:

Happy Merry Thanksgiving Hendryk. It's NOTHING but good to see you swing by for a visit. I'd offer you something to eat or drink but there is NOTHING left! :welcome::coolsmiley:

I would go a step further and say that both La Boheme and Madama Butterfly are also great first baby steps for nothing neophytes.

Do you have a favorite?

NOTHING but JuicyFruit. :ohdear:

LOL - It nothing but rained on the Plane [sic] that then fell on the Plain!

Neophytes? Is that when a person does a sexual thing too much instead of NOTHING to much?

I like Opera a little bit as long as it's not mandatory that I go somewhere to see the Person sing.

On the radio is just fine. You know what I always say. Funiculì, funiculà.

Mrs. FW. Come on now enough fun and games off the property. It's time to get back and do NOTHING. Glad your good kiddo! :icon_wink:

I saw Elton John with a full orchestra. That was an awesome show. That's as close as this NOTHING will get to a symphony or opera.. lol

My great uncle was quite a character and not for NOTHING. Put his life up as bond on a friend in Costa Rica where he was a bus driver fluent in Spanish. His friend left town on him and he was banned from Costa Rica. Think he had a son there as well.

His mother's maiden name was Stimson. Father was Trueblood who was a lawyer for the railroad who went into the Army in WWII moving things around using the railroad. Military stuff. He would have been in his 40s or 50s in the 1940s.

My goodness, so much to digest here today and I'm on my last brain cell (no comments from the peanut gallery, please). Ended up with probably a record day at work for a Saturday, then a horrible ride home in heavy rain, fog, traffic, but thankfully no deer. My former co-worker who I had dinner with warned me to be careful on my drive home and to not hit any deer because today they would be "raindeer".......now if that's not a Nuckyism I don't know what is - lol.

NOTHING but delighted to see Henryk here today and appreciative of his effort to add a little culture to our thread. And thanks again to Tal for holding down the NOTHING fort this morning.

You are welcome. I see they have a lot of the most famous operas on DVD in the Lake County Library System and Marion as well as Sumter County Libraries could also have some of these. NOTHING seems to be getting a lot of views.

Not sure if I could sit through an opera at the Rialto as some of these seem quite long. 2 hours and 43 minutes. Verdi: Aida - San Francisco Opera (starring Luciano Pavarotti) - YouTube

I wasn't in Iowa in a Cornfield on The Plain. I was NOTHING but at J.F.K or La Guardia on the Plane.

You're a Silly Goose Mrs. BK!

Besides I've invented my own language. It's a mixture of Spanglish, HoodBugger & Englighy & Some Nuckyism's thrown in for good luck. I'm very flexible and adaptable. :mademyday::clap2:

Is this nothing but what a Nucky family reunion would look like?

My tall silk hat* - YouTube

How do you get 4 Elton John's NOTHING but on a Piano Bench? This is a great NOTHING Question. May go down in the Anal's of NOTHING history!

Turn it NOTHING but upside down.. :1rotfl:

Hey Nuckster -

I never got around to thank you. You have been nothing but a friend and I cherish that!

Tonight coming home from dinner lo and behold what did we see...two deer! NOTHING but back to the Villages tomorrow. Much as I have enjoyed this visit I miss home.

Oh Abby so sorry your day was nothing but unpleasant. But think how much worse it would have been had you met up with that Rain-deer. Make sure you plan nothing less than relaxation on your day off -- mani/pedi, bubblebath, music, wine -- whatever it takes -- you deserve it.

Give that K-Man NOTHING but a cigar. The joke was not meant in a hurtful way so to speak.

Mrs. BK many of our current friends may not know the hell that we went through to get to the grand prize. The Villages. It is the Crown Jewel Our Bucket List.

Memory Lane, we, Your family and mine faced adversity to get to the finish line but we supported each other and Bada Bing we made it here. Those were some pretty rough times but all worth it.

The Villages Medical grinder gets the credit from me for saving my life. I had some problems that they NOTHING but very attentively took care of. I hear other peoples bad experiences and don't discount them one bit but my story is different and much betterer! I'm one gigantically happy NOTHING. With great friends like you Mrs. BK. :coolsmiley:

The friends I've made in this beautiful place are priceless and I wouldn't trade 'em 4 NOTHING!

That's saying A LOT - in other words, NOTHING like TV, right?

Not all unpleasant - work was fine because I enjoy being busy. The ride home was very unpleasant though. The roadways are so dark and hardly any road markings, even on the major highways. It's NOTHING but a disgrace - with weather like this you can't even tell if you're in your lane or not. Good thing I didn't accept the offer of a free drink from the table across from my friend and I when we went out to dinner.

Day off will be to the gym first, then packing. I do have to fit in at least a mani sometime though. Thanks for your concern and great suggestions. :)

The K-man got the answer pretty darn fast. You know I don't get it. It usually takes me at least 24 hours and a major revelation before I get most of your jokes, Nucky, yet K gets them like they're common knowledge. I'm not sure if that makes me the one who's NOTHING but "off" or him.....:ohdear:

I'm so exhausted I'm going to bed. Maybe the revelation will come to me in a dream. On second thought, I hope not.....

Do you want me to PM an explanation? But believe me, it is not pretty, in fact, it's nothing but nasty. LOL

No thanks. On that count, I'll NOTHING but pass........
