We had a good laugh on the way home yesterday. Bitter Sweet. We stopped to get one of them there fancy smancy PocketBooks that women folk like and were reminded of the one we bought for my Mom just after she got some bad medical news years ago. My Mom innocently said this pocketbook will last me a lifetime, after the news she just got that was something only she could get away with saying. It's all good. We always try to keep a smile on even if we're dying on the inside.

The big thing is, we didn't hear anything bad at all yesterday. I think we're shocked that the investigation is ongoing, more shocking today than yesterday. I think a nice Golf Cart ride is in order! Clear Out the cobwebs. Man O Man, I wish this was me all Jacked Up instead of Grandma! :pray:

For what it's worth I think they rule out the worst stuff first.

I have to confess that I do not know what one of those fancy smancy "pocketbooks" is that women like? I NOTHING but like books with spies, snipers and criminal activities. Golf cart ride however is always a good thing.

And I bought a set of George R.R. Martin's Game of Thrones books which is NOTHING but a huge amount of reading.

Have a lot of libraries all over the country which pop up on my Facebook page.

I have been in a lot of libraries around the country often looking for practical materials for survivors/victims of crimes. Starting looking in February of 1976 for these items. Did not find much of anything until 1992.

I agree I still enjoy NOTHING but the feel of an actual hardcover book. Paperbacks are OK.

This may not be the exact number as I am a little pre-occupied today and not for NOTHING.

813. :clap2:

I must have NOTHING but forgot the 8:55 AM view count for Monday 5/13/2019.

But in preparation for tomorrow's we have 300, 727 as the 8:55 AM EST NOTHING tally.

Looks like the number was 299, 671 for the 8:55 AM 5/13/2019 mark.

300, 747.
299, 671.

976 is the 24 hour 5/13/2019 to 5/14/2019 NOTHING cycle.
And I know we hit 300,000 fairly early yesterday. And was 300,000 which is cool.

Here is what I would suggest regarding that because I don't think it's always a bad idea to educate yourself to a point. First of all, I usually go onto sites like Mayo Clinic, Cleveland Clinic, or Johns Hopkins for info. Web MD is okay for cursory info. The point is not to google all kinds of info and then get yourself all worked up, but to look up some of the stuff your doctors have been talking about as possibilities. That way you have a little background yourself to ask informed questions of your doctor regarding the condition.

I tend not to dissuade people from becoming more informed on their own in order to have more meaningful conversations with their healthcare professionals. But sometimes the amount of info out there can become overwhelming so you need to determine for yourself how much is too much.

One things for sure though, as you state in your post about having a good laugh - that can be NOTHING but the best medicine at times.

True. My Game of Thrones set are NOTHING but HUGE paperbacks. A few of them are around 1000 to 1100 pages.

I read NOTHING but 3 or 4 books a week. I got tired of them stacking up in my office. lol

Several times I've found myself buying a book that I've already read.

With my trusty Kindle I can read in bed without bothering Mrs. K. by turning on a light. When I go on vacation I can load an unlimited amount of reading material without having to take another suitcase.. lol

Seattle has an absolutely beautiful library. Unfortunately it has turned into a daytime hangout for the indigent..

Me neither on the fancy pockie book. Back home we would just use us a burlap bag. My D.I.L. bought a pair of shoes one time that was NOTHING but more beautiful on the bottom (Red) than the part of the shoe you look at. It also worked out to NOTHING but $80 a Toe! That's a whole lotta Broccoli for shoes! Forgetabouit! I could stir the pot a little now but would rather shoot for peace on Earf! :)

I went in a few medical libraries and they are NOTHING but overwhelming. You would need a solid background in science to get around in them.

I was looking for survivors/victims rights information but because of how the library was set up could not really locate anything. I did not want to talk to the reference librarian there.

I worked at the downtown central library in Minneapolis for just one semester in law school. I was in the History and Travel Department doing work/study like stuff. There were a lot of homeless in there who would often be sleeping on the benches and the like. The Twin Cities can get NOTHING but frigid by late September and can stay that way through April.

The demolished this library and build something else. Minneapolis Central Library | Hennepin County

Oh.....that kind of pockiebook. I have one that I use all the time. I do not like changing them as I get used to knowing where everything is so I use them until they die and then look for a similar one to replace it. Shoes for me = sandals, flat sandals, and NOTHING else unless I have to go up north yuk! I am way too anal for fashion.

You got that NOTHING but right. That's where I would often go to study when I was in college. Since it was mostly med students and other healthcare professionals there, it was quiet and people were really there to study - you could probably hear a pin drop as they say. Quite a bit different from the huge library on the main campus area which wasn't as quiet and you weren't sure if students were there to study or socialize.

I love both libraries and book stores and prefer reading from a book than a tablet device, although I do agree with the advantages that K states about using a kindle. I've tried it but I still prefer reading from a book.

UCSF Academic Health Sciences Library

Some of this could be quite useful though and not for NOTHING.

This was one of the medical libraries I went into back in the 1990s.

I've read about tree or 4 books in my hole stinckin NOTHING lifetime. If it don't havem goodly pictures I no like em to much. Thats why I like to hang wit yous Brainiacks!

Abby10 05-14-2019 02:39 PM

I really should be doing something but instead I've been looking back at last year's NOTHING and reminiscing. Boy, we had some really good times back then. Makes me laugh and at the same time feel sad because I miss so many of the previous posters on here who used to be regulars. Sure hope they are doing well.

Now I better get off of here and pay my bills. Then I'll have something to really be sad about because I'll probably have NOTHING after doing that.....

It's timeless and if you are member of amazon you can watch every episode. So if you got little ones in the family........

NOTHING but a good post from tomwed and Tom Hanks is in a movie about Mr. Rogers that is coming out.

You know how into movies I am. And how much I think I am IN movies. LOL.

Hmmm....you must have NOTHING but looked at the beginning of this thread - lol - good one!

So if I were to try to name all of them I'm afraid I would miss one, but we had many great personalities. Some were the kindest people you'd ever want to meet and some were witty and funny and kept things lively around here. As I looked back on some of our conversations it made me miss them along with the exchange of just one liners at times that kept me :1rotfl:. I remember my husband would yell over from the other room when he heard me laughing and say, "Are you on that NOTHING thread again?"

That is quite true. Some of these posters could have given some of the inmates I represented at Minnesota Correctional Facility--Stillwater a run for their money and not for NOTHING. A few of these prisoners seemed like good people who had made a bad choice and paid for that. Others seemed rotten to the core.

Have these posters passed into the next realm or have they just stopped posting NOTHING due to losing interest or having been denied posting privileges? I know my favorite W had lost his privilege.

Most have left TOTV altogether for one reason or another. I'm sure those reasons were more than NOTHING.

Hey Gang,

Reporting in to Nothing. I may be M.I.A. for the next couple of days. Flying to Secaucus*, NJ tomorrow to help my 82-year old aunt meet with lawyer to do her will, etc. and I don't know if she has an Internet connection. Do be good and try to stay out of trouble while I'm away.

W - NOTHING but Witty, Wild, and smart as a Whip. He not only gave me many moments of laughter, but almost caused me to lose a couple of keyboards while drinking my morning coffee....lol

He was part of the original NOTHING gang. Underneath all those W's I believed he had a big heart and that's why I really liked him and miss him.
