If he hits me with an E-Card then I'm gonna charge him NOTHING but full price for the Taxi Ride I will Provide. If it is a Hallmark Card then I'll only charge him half! :1rotfl::1rotfl::1rotfl: :blahblahblah:

This is where you got it from. Nothing but the truth! So Happy Birthday (belated or otherwise) Nucky.

Nucky's post was on June 5th so that would make June 6th his birthday. So Dew and the Nuckster really are twins!

Here's a story for you NOTHINGs -

Son, cousin, (son's designated sister he never had who calls me her 2nd mom) and I went shopping today. Came upon a wine tasting table at a little shop. Cousin and I were tasting different wines while son stood along side us just observing. Just as I had a mouthful of wine, my son turns to his cousin and says, "I can't believe you're doing this after just celebrating 3 years of sobriety." The look on the servers face was priceless and luckily I didn't spit out my mouthful of wine in hysterics. That's my son......always keeping us in stitches.

Of course......some people on here are never wrong. I should know better than to mess with a certain NOTHING.

I liked the dream thing better though......

Abby10 06-07-2019 03:56 PM

Happy belated Birthday, Nuckster!

And dew - see, you do have NOTHING but a brother from another mother.....lol

BK001 06-07-2019 05:25 PM

HELLO Yous NOTHING'S. It's rough having something to Dew. Going to the Airport was like a Major Extravaganza. They flew on Spirit Airlines and when I picked them up I asked why their hair was askew. Keep in mind this son is tighter than a crabs azz and twice as waterproof. It because to save a couple more bucks they flew ON tHE WING!

June 7th is the Official Birthday. I thank you all for your well wishes and Happy Birthday to my Brother From Another Mother. Dew. I wonder what your name would have been if you were from the Mountains? All I want for my Birthday is a certain NOTHING to come home. The one who is Near and Dear to Our Hearts.

Dinner is served. Tal will know what it is. Imported from The Fulton Fish Market. BK may know to and Barefooterer too! Later Gators and Gatorettes.

Saw John Wick again on Blu-Ray last night. Still hate the scenes with the really cute puppy. Forgot that one of the regular Game of Thrones actors was the son of the villain in the first John Wick movie. And the major creep.

Up at 5am this morning at the desk in my room checking my email and watching the wild horses out my window. NOTHING but cool!

Now going over the Chesapeake Bay Bridge on our way home. Always beautiful, even on a cloudy, hazy day. Such a magnificent structure. God's creation melding with man's - quite a picture.

I need to check that out some time. I checked off Maryland in my visited States but was only in there when crossing the Potomac and then heading right back to VA. NOTHING but a quick trip. Chesapeake Bay Bridge - Wikipedia

And I need to get WV and DE off the unvisited US State list as well along with GA and SC.

I'm sorry, Tal, I forgot to add "tunnel" onto that. I was pecking away on my phone in the car and left out an important word. We were going over (and under) this one at the time -

CBBT History

Although both bridges provide spectacular views, this one is an engineering wonder, as they call it, with the bridge going both over the water and tunneling under. The whole concept NOTHING but fascinates me whenever we use it.

Kids are out in the Golf Cart getting christened by the sudden storm. It's a rental cart and in good shape so they should make it home safely. I told them they have to be home by 10 PM and tried to keep a straight face, we busted up laughing, what a flashback that was.

We went to Shooter World today. Oh My. I guess all the formal training that the service provided really paid off. Very impressed with him and Shooter's World. Just an amazing place with fantastic customer safety and top notch security. We had a blast. :boom: Mrs. Nucky had to leave her gun behind for repair because it consistently shot the target only in the crotch! :popcorn: Possibly a message? Take it easy Yous All.

P.S. He bought Monopoly Cheaters Version last night. Check it out. It has a time limit and is a whole lotta fun. The Ganged up on me and its the first time I lost in years. The Beat Me Up On My Birthday! Damn! :1rotfl:

What are the lines like at Shooter's World? Been itching to shoot my rifle again. It has been a while since it was last fired. Probably at a refrigerator in a dump near Rattlesnake Mt in Reno, Nevada in 1982 when I was out with my grandfather. It has been cleaned every so often. And not for NOTHING. Got the rifle around 1973 for my 14th birthday on 2-24.

The way some previous threads made it sound, there was going to be a two year wait to get into Shooter's World. Did you have to make reservations in advance?

Sounds like NOTHING but a great day..

No Sir. We had a choice of going to see Manatees or Shooters World. My son said lemme think about that for a minute. While he was thinking I took off my shirt and announced that the closest thing to a Manatee your gonna see NOTHING but today. He went Ballistic in there. He rented an AR-15 and they let him shoot it wide open. The safety guy had his hand on my sons back. Safety, forget about peoples feelings, safety is where it's at.

K-Man this place is a Dream, it's better than any place I was ever at in the Tri-State area. I asked one of the guys if he was aware of the people who took themselves out or threatened others. They are on their game and provide safety for everyone around.

You could go broke in this joint. The best of everything and great prices. I was a great shooter at one time but not so much anymore. A Shotgun is my best bet for home security. Overall a Phenomenal experience. You will NOTHING but love this joint.

He shot that baby wide open, it was a head turner, to him it was NOTHING! Bada :boom:

Kenswing 06-08-2019 11:16 PM

Sounds like NOTHING but a blast.. Not too many places will let you fire rifles indoors anymore. I prefer rifles outdoors just for the simple fact that most indoor ranges aren't long enough to do more than a basic sight in. A hundred feet with my rifle I pretty much don't even need the sights.. lol Luckily we have a 600 yard outdoor range nearby.

But I'm all for a well run, well ventilated, safety first range. I'm sure I'll visit a time or two..

Tal, sorry I didn't answer your post from yesterday but there were no lines and they really are efficient at moving people thru the place. Everything just seemed to flow now that the newness has worn off the place. I really don't have enough good stuff to say about the place. When we were leaving and headed towards Powell Road I notice a bump out on the building that must be for Rifles. I don't know NOTHING about how long it is but its long. Love it and can't wait to go back. If the kids suggest today, I'm in. :boxing2:

Nucky 06-09-2019 08:13 AM

About 10.30 last night our Daughter In Law called and said she was heading towards the house with an injured Possum. Cute little bugger got run over by something and the back legs were not working. We called every number we could find but couldn't get any help. We took turns holding the little bugger until it finally checked out. NOTHING but a tear jerker.

At their home, they have two Humongous German Sheppards, three Cats and a Rabbit. All were injured when she came across them at various spots in Jersey. They are more than well behave and trained to not jump on people. Just a beautiful person with a heart of gold.

My law school friend rescues near road kill often up in rural Minnesota and for NOTHING. Takes the critters to the vets and racks up quite a bill. She is quite the animal rights champion and a hard core Vegan. Friend since 1987 or so. She was happily married when I knew her in Minnesota.

My sister-in-law might have a fit if I start using the rifle as she hates guns passionately. Her brother was a gun nut and quite crazy and took his life with a pistol back in October of 2014 in VA. I cleaned my rifle as have various gun loving friends over the years but may not get around to shooting it. Do have the ammunition and the like but do not tell her that. It just has not been fired unless one of my father's hunting friends who took care of it once in a while took it out for a work-out.

I used to shoot at barrels from heights from quite a distance. You need a mountain to do that though. None around here. These were in an unoccupied cattle corral. Was about 14 when I did this though. Now it sounds kind of stupid. They did not penetrate the barrel. Just a 22 long rifle round. Did make a loud clang though.

Looks like a nice facility. Looking at their website it says they have 39 lanes. 30 for pistol, nine for rifle. Range

Their rifle lanes are 100 yards long. That's NOTHING but phenomenal.

Thanks, Tal.. Looks like NOTHING but a nice place to go to fire pistols but they're also limited to 100 yards. So a little short for any real rifle practice. Ocala | Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission

That's what husbands are for. There's NOTHING that would make me teach another man's wife how to shoot.. lol

Luckily most of these ranges have very good beginner safety and shooting classes. That's the way I would go. Takes any husband/wife impatience out of the equation.. lol

I already got shot in the left picky. Just with a BB gun so I am probably NOTHING but out. Did get me away from guns and very much into books though. The guy was aiming at my eye and I convinced him to try to shoot between my fingers. He missed.

I hung around with a rather stupid, racist and violent crowd when I was about 12 to 14 or so.

We used to hunt rattlesnakes and I would be at their sixes making as much noise as possible to scare the snakes away. And they had the 30-30s while I had one of my two 12 gauge shotguns. They did stop asking me to come along though as we never even saw a rattlesnake when I was around.

Rattlesnake Mountain was aptly named though as they were all over it. That is the area around which I would go hunting, hiking and shooting most of the time.

Thanks for the honest reply.

I do have a couple of people already in mind down there if I decide to go forward with it. I should have done it years ago when my son was trying to encourage me to learn. He was concerned about my work environment at the time. Now he really doesn't have the time and I KNOW he doesn't have the patience. My husband has the patience but I'm afraid of how it might end up - could be NOTHING but risky if things go awry. :22yikes: Probably better to go with a professional.

Oops......missed your post. My problem is I want NOTHING to do with someone getting killed - lol. And your response was good too. :clap2: Good point!

Anyway, no worries, I do know of a few good people to contact through friends of mine down there. We'll see if I go through with it or not. There had to be a reason that I was the only member of the family that my father never asked to go hunting......:confused:

Abby10 06-09-2019 10:53 AM

My husband won't even teach me how to golf. I mean, look what happened to Tiger!

He already has someone lined up to teach me that too if I want to learn. Something tells me NOTHING will come of that though, especially since he's not really fond of the game himself but you never know.

Nucky 06-09-2019 11:33 AM

There are air gun shooting ranges in the Villages which might be just what is needed and not for NOTHING. Have a friend who found her inner sharpshooter there. Her dad was a sniper in WWII so it must have been a gene thing. My Dad never liked hunting or shooting of any kind.

Yep, I went to the one down by Rohan when I was there last year.

Hope you all know I'm kidding about being dangerous. I mean I don't want to scare you guys or anything. I think the reason my dad never took me hunting was because he knew I probably could kill NOTHING. In his mind he was hunting more for food than sport. Why pay for a license for me to stand there and refuse to shoot? Not only that, but how was he going to keep me quiet - lol. And he says I wasn't the problem child, so let me tell you about the rest of the family......:1rotfl::1rotfl:

My husband keeps telling me the guns he has will all make a mess. I mean NOTHING but a big mess, like blowing out a wall. You don't think he's just trying to scare me from ever picking one up, do you? :boom: He knows how I hate to clean up a big mess......lol

Ah, Hem! I NOTHING but have the messy ones. I saw one there yesterday in the showcase to the right when you come out of the restroom, it was a handgun but I would need help carrying it. I don't think it would work with Concealed Carrying.

There was just talk about going back but it looks like Manatee watching may win out which means I get to be a free agent. Nap Time! ZZZZzzzz! :ohdear:

Velvet 06-09-2019 04:27 PM

Won’t be carrying concealed or otherwise, but there is NOTHING that I look forwards to more than coming to my home in TV. I’ll be the one who you’ll see dancing to Tom Petty’s “Running Down a Dream” on my EarPods all the way to the Mallory pool. Look forwards to meeting everyone.
