So last night before the movie I was in Walgreens, looking for nothing in particular, killing time and I saw a bottle of stool softeners and took them before I went to bed but so far the bar stools are no softer. How long does it take to work?

OMG, that is the most hilarious pharmacy joke I have ever heard! This is NOTHING but getting printed and posted in my pharmacy today. :a20::a20::a20:

Tomwed, the sad thing is I'm surprised we have not heard something like that before, and not as a joke but for real! We get the craziest things sometimes. A pharmacy technician I once worked with typed out really specific directions on an Rx label about inserting a suppository, right down to unwrapping it first, and so on. I asked her, "Why so much detail?" She responded, "Because I had a patient try to eat one once, wrapper and all."

Oh my, I let the directions go through as typed because I had NOTHING left to say. Sometimes I guess it's better to have too much information than not enough. :ohdear:

That's what I was thinking about.

There has to be some kind of voice control software. Something as easy as "Hey phone, open talk of the villages go to new posts and go to talk about nothing and read me the last post."

And the phone does that and then you say, "hey phone, enter the following in Reply to Thread: "I'm on the way home, order me a pizza with nothing on it. And send another one with the works to Tom's house."

That's flattering. I had a family of 8 [6 kids over 12 years] on my golf team. They were all good and the youngest was a girl who was better then most of the girls in the county. The first time she got in the paper she was most proud of finally making it on her grandmothers refrigerator. All those years of big brothers and sisters making the refrigerator and she had nothing until then.
I believe the refrigerator is the Trophy Room for most folks for the last 3 generations.

Nice try, Tom, but you may end up with NOTHING - lol.

I was reading how George Orwell's book 1984 has been NOTHING but surging in popularity lately. I have worked in Technology for most of my life but it now scares me. People are providing all of their information online, have devices that are listening and watching all the time and even sending away samples of their DNA to strangers.

I had to squeeze the word nothing in the post. Putting silliness aside I think there is voice control with smart phone. Like that thing Amazon sells for your at home network.

I will have to ask my husband about it. He is not a tech wiz but does keep up on a lot of that stuff.

I'd ask him now but he's NOTHING but sleeping.......again! He tells me I'm just jealous because I'm not as good in bed as he is :ohdear: - he's very punny too.

Punny NOTHING stuff and I’m not blowing the whistle on any Violation.

When my oldest son purchased his first house they were freshening up the landscaping in the front of the house. When we arrived there were four bags of bulbs that were empty except for one single bulb. When they were taking a much needed break I asked which direction was the cone end buried? Skywards or towards the ground? They said towards the ground, I said then you will never see them bloom. I took a Dunkin Donuts run for them and when I got back they were digging the bulbs up and pointing them towards the sky. There was a major fight while I was gone each accusing the other of being an idiot for not knowing NOTHING about gardening. I never told them until the flowers bloomed the next year. They lived to get even, not yet I say!

I was listening to a tech radio talk show last night. They make a smart phone case for $900 that can sense a firearm 130 feet away. That's nothing I want to buy or even think about.
1984 and Brave New World, but not 2001 were Science Fiction reading assignments in English class in High School or was it Grammar school, not sure. Now it's history.

In the olden days there were BLUE LAWS and Bergen County in N.J. Still enforces the. Simply put, shopping on Sunday is not possible, the stores are closed.

As teenagers our little gang worked at ShopRite, that’s the same as Publix. Well on Saturday we closed at 6pm and told one of the new guys that at 7am on Sunday we had to all come in to put the snow tires on the shopping cart as a monster snow storm was coming our way. He showed up and we still laugh about it when we see him 40 plus years later.

Love playing with other people’s head. Friends and Family Only!

When I was about 12 I was riding my bike, delivering papers and passed a tractor trailer that was just about to pull out of the parking lot. The driver yells at me"Hey kid, do you know your back wheel is rotating forward." I yelled back "Thank-you" stopped the bike and looked it over for a good 5 minutes before I caught on. [thanks for reminding me of that nothing story.]

Good morning you lovely bunch of NOTHING’S. I get the idea and appreciate the new core concept but first we must find a Exorcist to help me exercise these poor eating habits. I’ve lost then regained the same tonage several times over the years, taking the pledge not to each time.

Some random man in a restaurant about two weeks ago who we got into a conversation about weight loss told me about a program called Overeaters Anonymous. It is based on the A.A. program. I have heard this is fantastic if you’re honest with yourself about the problem you are facing. I went to O.A. 40 years ago but didn’t keep going because of being lazy I guess. Anyway I was so on the good eating track before our mission of mercy and want to get back in the saddle ASAP. One day God willing I can get in the saddle while it’s on the horse.

Love all the feedback. One question?? Rolling Bundles? Your Gear?

You'll get no help from me on over eating. I have to really gear it down now that I'm home. You're on the right track though. Just keep swimming, just keep swimming..

Bundles are my clothes. I take a t-shirt, place it company logo side down. Put a pair of underwear and socks on top of it. Fold the sides in toward the middle then roll it into a tube shape then place a couple rubber bands around it. I take 15 of these in my fire bag. At the end of the day I repeat the process except I turn the shirt inside out. That way I know what's clean and what's dirty. If I can see the company logo it's a clean, if not it's dirty. NOTHING.. lol
