Oh great another Pal that's going to be NOTHING but a Quart Short! :1rotfl:

People who do for others should be commended. :clap2::clap2::clap2::clap2::clap2:

Save a little blood for yourself so this doesn't happen: :faint:

You can donate 6 gallons or so a year doing just platelets. You are allowed 24 platelet donations per year and they often take two units from me. A unit I believe is a pint or so. Some people they seem to take less from though.

Very nice people there. I have known one of the phlebotomists there since 2007 or so and not for NOTHING. :)

NOTHING but 44th Weekly FunTrivia Knockout win.
 

FunTrivia Knockout This Week

Finally got my 44th FunTrivia Knockout 4 night Tournament victory this week. Try FunTrivia as it can keep the mind sort of sharp and for NOTHING or not for NOTHING. :boom:

Yup.... I’m at 37 gallons. First 8 gallons were whole blood then I jumped on the Platelet train and the gallons added up quicker. I’m a fairly common A+ flavor but there is nothing better that you can donate

Cool. I donated in Belmont, CA to impress a woman named Sandy around 1985 and then did it once in Minneapolis when the Resident Assistant at Middlebrook Hall for our Graduate Level students at the U of MN suggested we donate blood. This was around 1989.

Did not donate again until in the Oldsmar/Palm Harbor area of FL at Florida Blood Services around 1997 up to 2011 or so. I house sat for a couple of retired realtors who travelled a lot. So, I often went back to Palm Harbor, FL after we moved to the Villages in 2005 to help them out. Would donate at Florida Blood Services if convenient.

Donated a few times at Life South-- the red, white and blue buses you often see at Walmarts in the Villages.

And also donated blood at Florida Blood Centers. The red and white buses around the Villages and elsewhere.

I started doing platelets after they requested my help because a baby needed AB- platelets and I had those. This was at Florida Blood Centers which merged with Florida Blood Services to become One Blood. And not for NOTHING.

So we sound like we were on the same track. I dislike needles but feel I have a duty to donate because of my rare blood type.

Minnesota loses. Auburn wins.
 

Hard to watch one of my alma maters lose--- the University of Minnesota. But that was NOTHING but a great game in which Auburn beat Alabama.

Wisconsin will have their hands full beating Ohio State University.

And the University of Nevada, Reno lost to the University of Nevada, Las Vegas.

Isn't it NOTHING but something that I don't actually know for certain what my blood type is. I'm almost certain its RAGU! :1rotfl:

:swear: For what it's worth.... which is probably NOTHING that's 3 key boards you owe me! :boxing2:

RAGU. Now that is NOTHING but funny.

Mine would probably be more like chicken and diet Mountain Dew. And Walmart donuts.

Jeremy Renner - Wikipedia

NOTHING but interesting that Jeremy Renner was helping out with feeding the homeless in Reno, Nevada this Holiday Season. He lives in Washoe County.

Been seeing stuff about him in my Facebook feed from news sources in Reno, Nevada.

I have a keen interest in things happening in Reno and Tahoe.

Have met a number of people who have connections to Reno. One of my Villages' area female married friends husband was born in Reno, Nevada. She grew up in Los Angeles the daughter of a gourmet cook in LA.

NOTHING but really enjoying the Star Trek: Discovery Season Two series. It stars Sonequa Martin-Green, who used to be on The Walking Dead until her character died. Sonequa Martin-Green - Rotten Tomatoes

NOTHING but a slow day today trying to recover from, I've fallen and I can't get up calls. It's rough when you get them on back to back days. It's good to help when others need a boost. Here's to hoping for a quiet, healthy peaceful night for all. What a wasted day. I couldn't sleep and couldn't get the old simple act together.

I have NOTHING but had nights like that. I usually take a sleeping pill which eventually works but it may take a few hours to quiet my mind.

Blonde nurse friend is back on Facebook. This is a different blonde nurse friend from the one from KY. This lady is from Daytona Beach and was an army nurse in Iraq and is one tough woman. Not sure where the one from KY went. Hope she looks at NOTHING. The one from KY was quite nice to me when I knew her at the dog park but have not seen her in person since January of 2017 or so. I hope she is happy and doing well.

I am looking at more brunettes though.

Buddy Boy, Paison, think Gray NOTHING but Gray. It will exponentially increase your chances. Just for the record book what is KY an abbreviation for? Just wondering? :1rotfl:

Sleep well tonight, glad you understood what I was talking about. :1rotfl:

:yuck: That state makes the worst tasting jelly..... it's NOTHING but terrible with peanut butter!

She is from Louisville, KY but born in Homestead, FL to an air force member. Married a Louisville lawyer then got a divorce then raised a very nice daughter on her own. The daughter seemed like a great kid. Beau seemed to love her. Beau would run across the field to greet her.

The mother seemed to get my 224 613 Project and the movies. I did talk with her about it. At least, she did not seem to have the urge to call 911 for the butterfly net patrol. And not for NOTHING. The blonde ex- army nurse is on Facebook and can see what I post on the public setting so I suppose she knows what I am about.

Gray does increase my chances here in the Villages. I have many grey haired female friends in the Villages. Some of them read Talk of the Villages. I did tell the Louisville nurse about TOTV but doubt if she reads it.

NOTHING like being open-minded. Those are two of the best things about life, being teachable and open-minded. It takes time but I've mastered both.

I studied Philosophy in college at the University of Nevada, Reno. Philosophy does require thinking for yourself. Had started as pre-med but after volunteering at the Veterans' Hospital for a year of Saturdays in 1977-1978 had decided that I could not deal all that well with people passing often whom you had grown close to by taking care of them. There had been several losses of people there while I was volunteering. And the math was kind of harder than I expected.

Unfortunately, a lot of the people I cared about here in the Villages have passed on or moved out to be nearer family. NOTHING but hard.


You do need to be fairly open to new ideas while studying Philosophy. And I have talked with people with many different views of things here in the Villages or nearby.

I was very interested in the problem of evil-- why a good and just God would allow terrible things to happen to good people.

NOTHING numbers for the 24 hour cycle from Sunday to Monday, December 1-2, 2019 at 8:55 AM EST. :clap2:

Try NOTHING but When Bad Things Happen to Good People by Harold S. Kushner. I just got it out and am going to read it again quickly. If I didn't have my faith I'd be lost.

I was keyed into this book in the last year by an extremely close person from NOTHING. Out of respect, no name. Sorta proves NOTHING is Something else. People have to come to their own conclusions but this book gives some great guidelines.

NOTHING but NOTHING. Everybody just trying to stay warm. Thankfully we are not in the NorthEast.

Neither in Minnesota nor Wisconsin. I am a native Cheesehead and not for NOTHING even if my accent is a mix of Chicagoland and Wisconsin.

Season Eight of Game of Thrones comes out today. Talked to a college age kid the other day who rewrote the whole Season because he was NOTHING but displeased by how it ended. Or maybe it was just one of the episodes he re-wrote.

The woman I admire most here in the Villages likes Game of Thrones but I have not made time to ask her what she thought of the Season Eight of GoT. She had a very lovable pooch named Jon Snow that Beau loved to play with and greet even if they both thought they were top dogs. Jon Snow was a chihuahua/pin min mix. Taken off by a coyote, unfortunately, a few years ago late at night when let out to pee.

Jon Snow is a major character in Game of Thrones. The King in the North.

NOTHING has been pretty busy again.

Nothing but a little story about a $20 ring.

This was my Dad’s ring. My parents were married in 1951. This ring was a Christmas gift to my Dad from my Mom soon after they were married.

In the spring of 1952, my mom secretly went to a jewelry store and put this ring on a Christmas lay away plan. This ring cost about $20 originally. My mother had to pay the jewelry store $2 every month throughout the year to have the ring paid off before Christmas.

I was born in 1959 and throughout my life I can remember my Dad wearing his ring whenever an important occasion occurred.

My Dad passed away in 1992 from cancer. My Mom gave me the ring. Throughout my life I have upheld his tradition of wearing it to significant family events. I have worn it as my 2 daughters got married. It was with me for countless holiday family get togethers, numerous high school and college graduations, grandchildren's births, anniversary dinners and also at various random occasions that I just felt had some merit of one kind or another.

This ring is absolutely priceless to me.

Well last night I got the ring out so that I could wear it today to my last throat cancer treatment. As the treatment ended, I thought about my Dad and how he was probably smiling right then about me and his $20 ring.

Thanks to everyone for their care, concern and words of support during my journey for the past 3 months. I certainly appreciate it. The ring will come out 12 weeks from now when I go to get scanned to verify that I’m cancer free.

-Spoiler

Wow. I can't believe you're done with treatment already. I'm sure it seemed a lot longer to you than it did to the rest of us. I am so happy for you that it's done. Hoping for stellar results in three months.

What's the ETA on taste bud recovery? That has to be NOTHING but a great thing to look forward to. Let the cheese tasting begin!

My Doc said that in 2 to 3 weeks the sensation of taste and also my appetite would probably start to come back

I actually haven't had nothing much to eat other than watered down small curd cottage cheese, scrambled eggs, some tapioca pudding and sips of water for over 40 days now. I’m down about 35 lbs.

(*I only add this last bit of information as a caution for anyone who happens to be standing in front of the refrigerator door when my appetite returns... they may want to consider moving to the side a bit.... :icon_wink:)

Hey Spoiler, you are NOTHING but the man. Offer still stands. Just give me the word Thunderbird.

I have some bad news though. That 35 LBS you misplaced I think I found some of it. :1rotfl:

I love the Story of The Ring. So thrilled for you and Mrs. Spoiler. :mademyday:

Thank you sir. And I will be calling you on the offer.

I‘m thinking it may be in January. I should be nothing but hungry by then.... :)

Good Morning. I think I'm gonna NOTHING but call out today and spend the day doing other things. I saw a post today about many different areas of The Villages being JUDGED by someone new and instead of fighting I'll let someone else handle it.

If you are a Praying person how about a little favor and send a prayer for a dear friend in NJ who is really lumped up physically and for all those who are hurting. Thanks.

Sorry about your friend. I will absolutely, nothing but remember him or her in my prayers.

You are such a good man, I hope you get the credit (Karma) you are due.

Yesterday at the Oxford, Walmart got Blu-Rays for Argo, The Departed and Black Mass for $5 out of a bin full of $5 DVD or Blu-Rays. NOTHING but quite a buy. Three Blu-Rays for $5. Argo (2012) - Rotten Tomatoes

Remember talking a lot about Argo with the people at Doggie Doo Run Run when that movie came out. Quite a lot of opinions involved. :boom:

I decided to only take a half of a day off NOTHING but Joy To The World her I is!

WATCH THE DEPARTED FIRST. It is amazing! You may have to watch it twice. It's a little complicated even for the formerly criminally-minded! At least that's what I heard. :1rotfl::1rotfl::1rotfl:

Have seen The Departed a few times before and not for NOTHING.

I used to weigh about 135lbs when in high school but started taking weight-lifting at the University of Nevada, Reno and joined a married woman's gym in Reno. She was the daughter of a co-worker, Joan, of my mother in a school for special education students. My mother taught special ed students. And Joan's daughter had later married a guy who owned a gym. She was about my age though. Married young.

Was on my way gradually to the NOTHING but around 200 lbs I now weigh but a lot of that is muscle in my legs, arms, and back. Walked a lot around the hills of Belmont, CA when I lived there in 1984-1986. Very pretty place with low hills of the San Francisco Peninsula.

I could lose 35 lbs myself but would not want to do it the way of an illness. I do hope you will recovery quickly Spoiler.
