Invariably if I complain he'll say "It's not hot" or "I only used a little pinch". LOL

Sounds like NOTHING but the same in our house.. lol

Not here, I am proudly married to NOTHING but the Queen Of Heat, in every way that you can apply the word heat, Can't be hot enough. Ay Dios Mio. Sometimes the food can NOTHING but burn your face off and the only thing that puts the fire out is milk or half & half or not getting tricked in the first place.

How about Schultz for the Pup? :duck:

My stomach and not for NOTHING does not handle hot food. My late younger brother married a woman from Jamaica partly because he loved her very hot food. Her son is the guy in August Rush. My nephew whom I might have met at my younger brother's funeral in Pinellas Park, FL. He was a brilliant computer programmer in the area of life insurance annuities and the like for big banks in FL but also had a very nasty addiction to vodka. Killed him eventually in December of 2014. Could get great paying jobs though.

He lived here in the Villages for about 1.5 years. Not a fun time. Did love the nuclear buffalo wings from Beef O'Bradies. I cannot even handle the mild buffalo wings at that.

Don't ever worry about yours truly. I may be outta shape I may have drunk like a Viking for too long, I may have smoked more than the Marlboro Man I may have more medical problems than Carters got Pills. I've got the best friends on here and in regular life. I've got Doctors I wouldn't trade the world for. I've got a Wifey who went to N.J. with me so I could spend an hour being Santa. I see miracles happen in front of my face constantly. I am NOTHING but a Lucky Nucky. This dog that's on the way has me jazzed up and a whole lot has to go right for it to happen but I have no doubt it will work out. I'm so sure its the right one that I don't even feel like I'm cheating ON OUR BOY BARNEY. It feels so good.

When miracles happen you don't ask why or how, you just thank God. To quote a Nuckyism, today is a "betterer" day. Hoping and praying for more miracles to happen. :doggie:

Thank you all again for your thoughts and prayers. Today is Tuesday, January, 8th. I hope it's NOTHING but a good day for all of you.

Had to update woody the woodpecker first but got to it. The view count updates around 8:55. Each hour it is updated around that time but closer to the 56th minute, it seems like and not for NOTHING.

I do not think my fellow woodpecker bird watchers read the NOTHING thread. They do not seem big of computers as most of my friends seem to avoid Facebook and Talk of the Villages and the like.

They are some who do look at NOTHING though but do not post as far as I know.

Any idea how long it will take to find out if the Bagel Dog is going to make it? The wait is NOTHING but the worst.

Since none of you are around today, I'll do all the talking. Hey, did I just hear someone say, so what else is new? Lol

NOTHING but the truth in all you say and the Great Teacher sent me this in my inbox this morning -

An Alternative to Worry | Our Daily Bread

So I'll take that as one of my lessons this time around.

I know you were addressing Nucky in this post but what I highlighted was exactly the source of my worry and distress these past 4+ days. We, meaning hubby and I, have dealt with losing plenty of loved ones over the years. All of the generation before us is gone except this one last uncle. In fact, in one 2 year period we counted 7 close family members who had passed on. That's when we accepted that it can come at any time, at any age, to anyone, for any reason - sometimes expected and at others it was tragically sudden. But I have never been in a position like this current one where there was a very specific time frame of waiting for the verdict. It was 4 days of hell, to say the least, and by the 3rd day I was pretty much reduced to NOTHING. I could have lived with the result - do you have a choice? - but it was the waiting....

So I thank you all again for the support and caring you provided through that time. If NOTHING else, even by just giving me the time and space I needed. And by carrying on with NOTHING was also a big comfort even if I didn't feel up for participating. I don't know how I got so blessed to find a bunch of NOTHINGS like all of you, but instead of questioning it, I'm just gonna run with it. Love you guys.

fw102807 01-08-2019 02:11 PM

I've been doing a different kind of NOTHING organizing our music files and making a playlist for Alexa. She can be fun but she also requires a bit of maintenance to get her to do all of the things that you want from her. Just as computers were supposed to reduce the amount of paper and now there is more paper usage than ever. :ohdear:

Even though it's been more than 15 years now, nothing can bring me in going through...losing another dog. :(

Spike & Ruby were both rescues and in spite of over $5,000 in surgeries for Ruby (note the edge of the steps at the very bottom of the photo, that she needed to get up on anything)...there was never a question of trying to help her.

Just be ready though, to try and stop (I couldn't) your 'Bagel'...from trying to sleep between your legs every night.

The new King of the house should be with us before NOTHING but Saturday. Could be tomorrow. The pups in your picture are pretty close to the size and color of our New King. They really are fine animal's and the heartache of a loss kept me from getting the one who just passed for about 10 years.

I totally respect immensely the decision to not go thru the pain again, I can dig it. I was thinking the same way. I had a friend tell me one day what a waste it was for somebody who loves them the way we do to not take a chance. I thought about it and planted the seed for my wife to see it the way I did. It took more than 6 months and it was a go then a no go and back and forth several times.

It's because it was meant to be that this dog was meant to be with us. Someone let him out of their car and drove away. This is not possible in my little world. Must be a really desperate person who did this. I had a German Sheppard or a CFRANE dog in mind, not something so little.

Anyway, I went today for visitation and the entire section of CellBlock 8 was howling to beat the band until Eight saw his new Daddy and not one peep outta him the rest of the time I was with him. The others didn't stop with the sideshow!

Man I'm so happy now I have no words for this feeling, maybe this is pure JOY, I dunno. NOTHING could be Betterererer! :1rotfl::1rotfl::1rotfl:

I'm gonna go get Eight a new Posturpedic bed and a Baby Carriage and teach him how to save chairs at the square, NOT! :1rotfl::1rotfl: Just the bed! EIGHT :mademyday:.

NOTHING but awesome news! I do understand people who do not want to go through the pain again but I like to think about the pup who needs a good home. I can't save all the dogs but I can save one and when he passes I can remember that I gave him a loving home for his lifetime.

So many peoples on the TOTV'S have led the way for me. Barney, the one who checked out was half of the set of Barney & Betty. I bought them without even thinking about a rescue or I would have done it ten years ago. I just didn't know or think it through.

Many stories over the years about people rescuing dogs on my favorite place to B.S. I know better now, shame on me if I didn't go this route. I'm not judging anyone else either. If they want a puppy or a dog from the store its none of my business. But they have tons of cutie pies at the ASPCA. Lake, Sumter, Marion all just great places. NOTHING but love for what they do for all these critters.

I almost just Goofified Up. That would be NOTHING but Jacked Up Grandma just like your Toenail's. :1rotfl::1rotfl::1rotfl::1rotfl:

BK001 01-08-2019 06:46 PM

Oh how cute. Yes it hurts terribly to lose them -- we just recently went through this. But the unconditional love they give when they are with us is so worth the eventual pain, for me, anyway. You know the old "Better to have loved . . .

Nucky 01-08-2019 09:37 PM

We only have to pick out the best name we would have but NOTHING no way would have thought of on our own! It's one that was previously used and is a sweet rememberance of our old home and several friends had the name. It was used by NOTHING but a good friend and we hope it can be passed down to us. Time will tell. It's not Vito or Rocco! But its in the Neighborhood!

Could it be Carmine? Like Carmine, “The Big Ragoo,” on Laverne and Shirley?

Just in case, I have spent the last 15 minutes doing nothing but trying to find the meaning of the name Carmine.

Should be easy. Right?

But I keep finding different meanings for the name:

— Of song

— Of the garden

— Of the vineyard

— Of the orchard

— A deep red color

(Lots of different meanings for Carmine but all good ones.)

Anyway, Nucky, a dog by any name will be a joy to you and yours. I will be tuning in to the Nothing thread and wishing you the best. :)

Bacciagalupe: Italian slang for a pompous greaseball guido. Used to describe a stereotypical sleezeball Staten Islander.

Seriously, I did not make up this derogatory definition:

Urban Dictionary: Bacciagalupe

I nothing but hate it!

Nucky -- the right name is out there -- and it will be PERFECTO!
