Can you imagine they do that for NOTHING but to make a living! I couldn't believe the way the guy who was putting the new duct work under our house just strapped a knife to his leg and flew under the house without looking carefully first. He said that we Northerners worry too much. He's correct on that one. We have a 6 foot Black Racer (Pat) who doesn't bother anybody and just goes from our tree to the neighbors landscaping and does a good job.

Gotta find a way to get rid of frogs. They are messy. I don't wanna kill them just send them elsewhere. I think the snake in your picture could NOTHING but handle it! :1rotfl:

Not many things bother me but snakes are NOTHING but on that list. I was on a fire a couple years ago and two guys were bitten by rattlers. We were standing around having our safety briefing and some asshat had the sound of a rattlesnake on his phone and played it. We looked like a bunch of little girls running away.. :1rotfl:

We have frogs by the thousands right now. Mrs. K loves the sound of them at night.

Next week we will put a couple extra zero's on your check. That way you'll make even more NOTHING. Why would anybody leave Nevada or Hawaii?

I left Nevada and some relatives of a neighbor/friend left Hawaii. They wanted to be near their sister-in-law and sister here in the Villages and not for NOTHING. Probably cost-of-living too.

Still love the Reno, Nevada area though but never really liked Las Vegas all that much. Reno is a much tougher town now though.

I usually felt pretty safe in Reno in the 1970s. I did hang around with a rather nasty group of kids when about 12-14 but got away from them by 15. One of them pointed a BB gun at my eye and I convinced him to try to shoot between my finger instead of taking my eye out. I had had no idea that he would point a loaded weapon at me. He missed and put a BB into my left pinky. That kind of made me abandon these "friends" who did other worse stuff to one another.

I found books and Mrs. Barbara Mitchell who got me reading Anna Karenina and many other classics. She was my English teacher at Earl Wooster High School in Reno, NV. Class of 1976. I skipped out of my Senior year in high school by taking correspondence classes from another Reno High School.

My grand niece is graduating from a Reno high school in a few months. Class of 2019!! Very clever girl.

563 is our HUGE number on NOTHING. NOT! Another slow day.

274, 944

Now this is NOTHING but too easy. 800 is the 24 hour tally from 8:55 AM to 8:55 AM EST. 4/08/2019-4/09/2019.

Hello Mad,

Sitting around doing nothing is nothing less than a good thing to do while posting nothing here on the nothing thread.

Welcome. (And remember, multiple nothings in a post will get you absolutely ... drumroll please ... NOTHING!

I had a friend who graduated from the U of Wisconsin in Librarianship. She had been the girl across the street or maybe next door in Menomonee Falls, WI up through late November of 1969. We met up while I was getting a MA in Librarianship from the U of Denver as she was working as a shop girl in a mall near the U of Denver. She got her MA a few years after moving back to WI from Denver and NOT for NOTHING. I was U of Denver Class of 1984 in Librarianship.

Of course, your name might have NOTHING to do with the U of WI.

I was a Gopher for 5 years or so. Graduated from the U of MN law school while working at their law library and stayed on for two more years or so. Class of 1989. Left Minneapolis after the blizzard of 1991.

The girl next door married a lawyer in Massachusetts.

Welcome back home to Nothing. We missed you and Mrs. P-N!

It's good to just be in the vicinity of The Villages. We could NOTHING but feel the gravitational pull once we got into Leesburg. There really is no other place that I'm interested in to live. The description from my sister in laws neighbors about the storms from Hollywood to Miami were wild, to say the least.

I was here yesterday and was keeping an eyeball out for you. But no BK to be found! Next time I would like to make it out to The Keys. Take a week and just Go, destination unknown.

This coming Friday is our 22nd Wedding Anniversary and I had to outdo last year at The Rose Plantation. Tough to do but mission accomplished. I just got a one-year contract extension with a two-year option and a signing bonus. We usually go year by year but things have been laid back comparatively speaking since we moved here.

Poor Mrs. Nucky with this stomach thing. White Rice and Sardines for lunch again. I did notice she is swimming better and hasn't grown gills yet! :1rotfl::1rotfl::1rotfl: Trust me BK, you made my day! :mademyday:

Nucky 04-09-2019 04:35 PM

:mmmm: NOTHING but Love in the air today on this side of town! Going to Cuba For Dinner! Will check in later. :mmmm:

Here's to hoping there are still people here when I get back. :1rotfl:

Let there be Peace on Earth and Let it begin with Me! Let There be Peace on Earth - Sing Along - YouTube :pray:

Nucky 04-09-2019 04:43 PM

BK may I please put in NOTHING but a request for a killer joke!

Spent the day running around Amish country with the cousins. We've had 2 beautiful days weather-wise around here. Just got home to find an email message that they found a permanent fix to my NOTHING problem. :a040:

Sounds like a great day. Did you just drive through the countryside or did you actually stop and look around.

I'm glad they found a permanent solution to your NOTHING problem. At least until next time.. :1rotfl:

Unfortunately we got a late start so we didn't get to see as much as we would have liked. We did come up with a game plan for their next visit though since there is so much to see there. After a nice leisurely dinner, we took an incredibly scenic route back home.

Now I'm NOTHING but exhausted with a long day of work ahead of me tomorrow, but it's a good kind of exhausted if you know what I mean. After that, I have 4 days off to get rested up and caught up on NOTHING. :coolsmiley:

Okey, still on the Highway To NOTHING. Glad you are back Abby. Was the computer unplugged? I emailed with our bestest buddy FW and she said to hello to those close to her and she had some other messages but I’m NOTHING but gonna pass on them. Sad but she’s really gone but still teaching me. Stand for what you believe in and don’t be a doormat to anyone. God Bless that woman, she will be missed. Working on directions for a friend now. Later Yous all.

Abby10 04-09-2019 07:18 PM

Oh, and Tal, you'll be happy to know we're just about to wind down here and watch the movie, The Mule. I'm hoping I can NOTHING but stay awake and I'm sure it won't be because of the movie if I don't.

Nucky 04-09-2019 07:18 PM

We’d do NOTHING but the same for our pal Tal!

Thank you, Nucky. It's tough being on the outside looking in and not being able to do NOTHING.

Fw is truly NOTHING but a blessing to all of us........a very wise woman she is. Glad you are staying connected. I know she misses all of us as we do her.

Maybe you could identify with the terrible feeling I have that as her friend I couldn’t do anything to help her not burn out the way she did. Think about the fun we had over NOTHING, stupid NOTHING and the day someone criticized the thread was the time things started to slide away got everybody. A real shame. We weren’t bothered about NOTHING nor did we bother others about NOTHING. All in all just sad. We should call it the Phoenix thread. From the Ashes we shall rise.

Kenswing 04-09-2019 08:38 PM

I swear the government can make things NOTHING but unnecessarily convoluted sometimes. Just spent the last hour renewing our Global Entry cards. To login you must go to the Global Entry site. That kicks you to the login.gov site. Then they text you a security code so you can log in, then they send you back to the Global Entry site. I guess it's worth it though. Five more years of TSA Precheck and no waits clearing Customs when we come back from overseas..

I can identify, for sure. Yes, it was a blow but as a wise friend once said, go out on your own terms don't let someone or something else force you out. :icon_wink: We are NOTHING but the Phoenix. I know someone else that still misses us too. Once it's in your heart, NOTHING can never me forgotten.

NOTHING but first world problems of the world traveler. I'd call that a blessing.......:)

See you all later. Only 5 hours of sleep and now off to a long day at work. If my fingers are too tired to say hello this evening, I'll see you all tomorrow. Have a great day!

Oh, and BK, hope PT is treating you well these days and the pain is history soon. Still :pray:ing.....

I don't think this one is a killer but here goes nothing:

A priest is driving along a country road when a trooper pulls him over. He immediately smells alcohol on the priest’s breath and notices an empty wine bottle in the car.

He says: “Have you been drinking?”

“Just water,” says the priest.

The cop replies: “Then why do I smell wine?”

The priest looks at the bottle and says: “Good Lord! He’s done it again!”

Alabama --188; Illinois-- 2,507; Iowa-- 422; Kentucky-- 507; Nevada -- 93.

Alabama-- 188.

Taltarzac725 04-10-2019 08:03 AM

My dog used to chase people on a bike a lot. It got so bad, finally I had to take his bike away.

NOTHING but funny.

Nucky 04-10-2019 08:04 AM

Today is just another day but Anniversaries of good and bad things seem to matter a little more as I age. The Anniversary of the dog going over the bridge really sucked but today is NOTHING but a Happy Day. The world and my little world started to become better 25 years ago today. I am very humble and grateful that this particular gift was given to me. I don't take it for granted either cause it can leave in the blink of an eye. I always have a plan and never leave myself without an escape hatch from any situation that puts the #1 thing in my life in danger.

Our Wedding Anniversary is April 12th. Several years back I got the two Anniversaries bass akwards, it wasn't good but it wasn't World War III either because of the other Anniversary.

I'm still under construction and construction will end the day I go in the ground. Hopefully a long while from now. Old skills that are poor still come up now and then but its a lot better living this way. Have a Great Day Eh! Later Gators!

Still have not met my significant other. Have met a lot of great dogs though.
