See you later alligator - Bill Haley and Comets - YouTube

Yeah, I NOTHING but know better but sometimes it's not easy to hold back. We will probably be going to Gator Land next week with our Youngest Son & His Wifey. They want to see Larry.

Remember my buddy with the health problems in Jersey? Having a tough time again. What a great attitude though, talk about walking the walk instead of just talking NOTHING but the talk. What a great friend I have and always will have.

We made a deal 20 years ago. Whoever goes first, the big Go has to send the other one left behind a sign that wherever The Dearly Departed ended up that he is OK. We made that deal with my Mom and others. I forgot about it and he told me tonight he will be sending me a sign shortly. I've been waiting for the news. I'm OK and most importantly he is fine because of his faith and he will be reunited with his family and his lovely wife. He said that his love for God is unshakable. Whoa! He's surrounded by his large family so I'm just going to keep the faith and keep praying. :pray: Good Night Yous Guys.

Although I am terrified of Alligators, please send Larry our regards from nothing but afar.

Nucky, my heart goes out to you. :pray: for you and your friend. We're grateful to have friends of faith for many reasons, one being we know their eternal destiny which brings us great reassurance. It a difficult loss on the part of those who remain however because of the incredible impact people like that have on our lives. I still find myself on occasion in tears over a dear friend who left this world almost 3 years ago now. The other day I traveled a route I don't travel very often and drove by a restaurant where we last had lunch before she passed. It is only by way of the connection one has with another through God that one can feel such grief and joy all in one instance. There is just NOTHING deeper than that in life. God bless you, my friend.......

Yes, before I pulled up the NOTHING thread this morning I glimpsed at the news. So sad to hear. Relieved that you will be far from that area. Be safe and hope you enjoy your day.

Btw, I tried to fit into that stowaway box you sent me before leaving the states but couldn't fit. If only I had lost those extra pounds........:1rotfl::1rotfl:

Did you ever hear about The World? It is a huge cruise ship that people live on and cruise around the world.

The World - Luxury Residences at Sea

We saw this once in London. NOTHING but very cool.

Thanks, Abby, this guy is NOTHING but the funniest person I have ever met. He called back after I finished posting last night and we talked for almost 2 hours, neither one of us do that ever. We laughed so hard for so long over things that happened 25 years ago and went through the years and with all the life things that happen to everybody we realized how lucky we were to have crossed paths. I picked him up for a Meeting 24 years and 10 months ago and we have faced everything together. The death his of his wife was explosive in his life and then his brother died and he made it through each entire sober and intact.

A short prayer: Dear God Thank You For What You've Given Me, Thank You For What You've Taken From Me, Thank You For What You've Left Me.

We agreed we had no regrets and never postponed going out to have a great meal and laugh. He said when he gets better he's going down here and that he would sleep in his van on the ride down. I don't think so, I'll go get him and bring him back if he wants to go back.
He would sleep in his van because he is the cheapest SOB I ever me, he squeaks when he walks but he helps people less fortunate than himself and does it quietly.

It's all good even if the worst happens. Thanks For Your Kind Words. He would fit into NOTHING perfectly but doesn't have the patience for using a computer. Just teaching him to text for the first time in 2017 was a trip! :)

I looked up Fordland, there is one in Leesburg and one in Bellview. I think I'd rather be on FW'S Ship. WOW! :coolsmiley:

I just finished reading about the shootings in New Zealand. The world has gone nothing but crazy. I always imagined that in retirement, we would be traveling internationally and going to places where we had never been before. Now, we don't even want to leave The Villages. Such a shame what is happening all over.

Very sad news out of New Zealand and I thought of you right away. My slender blonde nurse friend who has a pit bull mix was at Disney with the Fed she was dating when the 6-12-2016 Pulse Nightclub shooting occurred and just before an alligator snatched a young boy. NOTHING but scary. Imagine a 100 lb woman with probably a 120 lb pit bull mix.

Then her small pooch got attacked by a German Shepherd/dachshund mix a few days later. It got out the front door and a neighbor's dog bit it.

I have a number of relatives who avoided the Las Vegas shooting. And a neighbor of more than 12 years who lost a grand daughter at Parkland HS but they have since moved. She was 14! I do Facebook with her uncle about stuff.

Here's a current song that I like by NOTHING but 2 Australian born brothers for times like that -

for KING & COUNTRY - God Only Knows (Official Music Video) - YouTube

Here's a more joyful one by them that I love -

for KING & COUNTRY – joy. (Official Music Video) - YouTube

And here's another artist that I love and her current new hit -

Lauren Daigle - Look Up Child (Audio) - YouTube

This young women's voice is so incredible that she has become widely known outside Christian circles and you can now hear songs all over the radio. She recently received a grammy but I think it was for her song "You Say" another great song in the realm that you're talking about.

Sometimes uplifting music can NOTHING but change the direction of your whole day - enjoy!!

Thanks, FW it will be here Monday. It's great to have a friend like you who knows a good direction to point someone who is jammed up a little. It's times like this that you have to put your faith into gear.

My Mom & Sister when we were young would go to church every week and were really involved but when a major blip came up they never instinctively turned to their faith. I pointed it out but it's like leaving NOTHING mainly wasted words. Thanks. :pray:

I believe from the core of my being that nothing helps any situation more than gratitude -- being grateful for what we have, who we love and loves us, and all our many blessings.

I know you NOTHING but know this, fw, so not necessarily addressing you personally just the statement, but we weren't created to understand everything, or know everything, or be capable of bringing peace to the world for that matter. However it doesn't keep people from trying which can often lead to a lot of frustration, confusion, and even conflict. The only thing we're really capable of is finding peace within and even that doesn't often times come in our own strength.

Where in the NOTHING is my Pal Waldo? I think he is living life the way it's supposed to be lived. I wish I had the Traveling Bug. Brownwood is far enough for me.

We have a neighbor who has been in The Villages since the beginning and said his travel restrictions are Route 44, Route 301, Route 42 and Route 441/27. Sounds good to me. In another ten years, those will be good enough for me too. But not today, we're going on a long road trip to Ocala! :1rotfl:

I'm watching people take the plunge into the Ocean in Oyster Bay N.Y. That is definitely beyond my boundaries. Besides, I might get Harpooned if I tried that. :1rotfl:
