NOTHING missing persons report -

6 days since W's departure......will he return soon?

Big Al's been gone for 45 days......will he ever return?


Moral of the story - venturing outside of this thread can be hazardous to one's NOTHING existence.

I need some :mornincoffee:........

It's NOTHING but a sad day when I'm considered the good boy in the bunch..

Thanks for the update, Barefoot. Yeah, I'm NOTHING but concerned. Hope it's just a short time-out.

Wow....you posted so late in the day, you actually had me scared that you fell overboard too! Glad to see you are okay. I was getting ready to prescribe anti-anxiety meds for myself thinking I was going to have to start steering this ship.....lol.

NOTHING like the thought of being all alone in NOTHINGVILLE.


At least I see I can count on the girls to stop by. :wave:

That's why we call him Kommander. Nothing but reliable, steady-handed, all around nice guy.

Either that or he has us all NOTHING but fooled.

So the more I look into what you're saying this seems like NOTHING but bad news......I guess there's just no taming that coyote. :(

Nucky 03-25-2018 07:58 PM

I'm available to help but in my wildest dreams couldn't be as controversial as our boy W. Maybe he broke a nail or a knuckle fixing the Cheby! He's Fine I'm sure. Nothing could be finer than having the gang back here and in Three Word Sentences.

Yeah, I'm not surprised.......NOTHING but gullible, I am.

As far as D goes, if I remember correctly, he got upset that they deleted some of his posts and decided to leave TOTV altogether. I'm sorry he did - he was a great poster who had a lot to offer the forum in kindness and wisdom.

Nucky 03-26-2018 04:09 PM

Wisdom & Kindness are but two of the qualities that he shared with everyone. Short and Sweet, Nothing but a fine person and it is a loss to not have him around to brighten each day a little more but thank God we still have the Joke Machine.....CFrance. Everyone makes a contribution in their own way.

Abby10 03-26-2018 09:16 PM

So good to "see" you all on here today. I thought I was just going to have a NOTHING day at work. Instead my day turned into a big something. Anyone else ever have a deer hit you head on.......I mean run down the road straight at your car? I never saw the thing coming until.....CRASH! Between it being almost dark and the lights of the cars coming in the other direction that were blinding me, I never saw the darn thing coming, but the sound of my headlight literally shattering....holy mackeral! Had to crawl out of the passenger side of the car because the door jammed.

Thank heaven no one was hurt. No one except the deer, that is.

What an end to a relatively good day! Time to take some Tylenol and head to bed. My son said I probably hurt myself more from getting out of the car than the impact of the deer. He's probably right.........it's tough getting old.

Holy cow! I'm glad you're alright. That's NOTHING but scary.. I hope you're not too sore come morning..

How much damage did you do to your car other?

And no, I've never had a deer come straight for me.. Did have a turkey come though the windshield when I was stationed in TN. though.

I would say the damage is more than my car is worth. We'll see - hubby is taking it for an estimate today. It's old, but I love that darn car. We bought it 15 years ago on our 20th wedding anniversary. It was the last one that we bought brand new and I got it loaded - hey, it was our anniversary. Smooth drive, never gave us a problem. NOTHING but a great car.

Yeah, I guess I'm kind of attached to the old gray mare - that's what I call it....lol So we'll see what happens. If anyone can find a way to keep her, my husband will figure it out. He's got a gift for not spending any more money than absolutely necessary. :thumbup:

Abby10 03-27-2018 07:49 AM

I should have added......I'll keep you posted as to whether my car becomes a NOTHINGmobile or not.

If it does, I guess NOTHINGVILLE would be the perfect place to leave her. :D

jsw14 03-27-2018 07:56 AM

Sheeesh Abby, glad ur OK. I hope U can save the Ole Gray Mare. Remind's me of my younger day's deer hunt'in in Michigan. For two years in a row I hit a deer
with my Pick-UP truck before I even got to the camp site.... NOTHING but BAD Luck....

That is bad luck. Did you keep going back after that? If so, bet you were NOTHING but very careful.

The suburban area I currently live in is worse for deer on the road than my hometown area that was in the middle of deer hunting country. You could hunt right in my backyard here versus having to go into the woods.

You reminded me of a story about my brother who has since moved to Florida, but when he was still living in our hometown area he was driving along and a deer ran right into the driver's side window. Lucky for him, he saw it coming out of the corner of his eye and was able to turn his head the other way because glass flew everywhere when the deer shattered the window. Better him than me - I would have been NOTHING but totally freaked out!

Yup, went back many a times. When I got to the back roads to get to camp, I went NO Faster then 25mph... Needless to say I was always NOTHING but the last one to get to camp!!!

Haha....better late than sorry!

Well at least in TV, no deer there, right? Although you might hit a coyote.......or an alligator. :22yikes: That would be more than NOTHING!

You have left me with NOTHING but good wishes for you and the old gray mare. We have one too--2005 Dodge Magnum, the most comfortable, best car we've ever had. So I know your feeling. You just can't replace those best-ever-to-you cars. But thank goodness you are okay. NOTHING will make you happier than if the insurance company agrees to fix it.

(Two NOTHINGs in one post--is that an infraction?:police:)

Nucky 03-27-2018 10:10 AM

Abby, Abby, Abby. As long as you are okey-dokey that's all that counts. Dopey deer, dear. What the hell is wrong with them that they become car magnets. A friend hit one on Route 78 near the Pennsylvania border and because he described in the accident report that he hit the dear instead of the dear hitting him the insurance paid zero, zip, nada, NOTHING.

This should be a signal, a sign that Florida is the move to make. Coming back to The Villages from Hollywood Florida I was driving cautiously because I assumed the deer were just waiting to ruin my day like in Jorsey, how wrong I was. I have seen a total of one deer about the size of a German Shepard and it wasn't a coyote. Very sorry for your troubles. I hope The Old Mare can be resurrected.

Thank you, but we better be careful or someone might accuse us of loving our cars too much......like we love our dogs. :ohdear: NOTHING like that allowed on this thread though.

Two NOTHINGS in one post is a reward, not an infraction. Unfortunately our rewards are NOTHING.....lol

Thanks, Nucky. At least I came up with a story to tell to keep this thread alive. I only wish it was NOTHING more than a story, but you're right - it could have been a lot worse. Someone was watching out for us. :angel:

You women and your attachment to your cars.. Mrs. K also had a 15 year old car that she loved, a Chrysler Concorde. On her way home from work sitting at a red light she got rear ended so hard that it pushed her up underneath the car in front of her. So the back end of her car was smashed. The hood of her car had a Jeep Cherokee sitting on it. She still begged the insurance company to fix it.. Thankfully they wouldn't.

That was three years ago. After they totaled the car Mrs. K got herself a new Subaru Outback.. Now it's her baby.. lol And for me it's a relief. The Outback is NOTHING but a beast in the snow. Actually does better than my 4WD 3/4 ton Dodge Ram..

It's easy to do. Change your thinking over to how those vehicles drive on the beach. Give yourself a chance, Nothing more about that 4 letter word. SNOW. YUCK. :blahblahblah:

Uh-oh, CFrance, obviously I was wrong. I guess it is allowed on here per the Kommander......lol

Glad to hear your wife has NOTHING but love for her Subaru, K. I've actually got my eye on one too......just in case.

Call me fickle. :o

His post was NOTHING but a funny reference about a foreign leader that I guess the mods considered might lead to further political comments and deleted it. There may be more to it than that, but that's all I remember. I never remember D posting anything out of character. As you said, a true gentleman.....

I think we've all had posts deleted at one time or another.. I think NOTHING of it anymore. I can pretty much predict which of my posts will be deleted.. lol

It's a shame he chose to leave over it though.

I'm NOTHING but confused now.. Are Nucky and I outnumbered? The problem with the internet is I can't tell the gender of who's posting.. So I know Abby is a girl.. And now I'm figuring that Barefoot and CFrance are as well?

So much for the good Ol Boys Club.. :1rotfl:

Any other females I don't know about? :ho:

I think you've got it covered.......for now. We'll let you know if anymore sneak in - lol. This is to the girls - :highfive:

But you and Nucky aren't outnumbered yet. I'm sure jsw14 will be NOTHING but happy to keep it evened up.
