Winds picked up today. Saw smoke coming from places I haven’t seen smoke before. We’ll see what tomorrow brings.

Glad to have you back safe.

Anyway, it has been a busy day here with visits from everyone. Seems like NOTHING is getting back to normal except for you of course. Nice to pass the not normal card to you for a change. I'm tired of carrying it - lol

It’s too early for NOTHING. I’m going to try for another hour of sleep.

Today we are getting back to normal, NOTHING left but the cleanup. Why does the time go by so quickly now? As the saying goes, I knew I was going to get old but am just surprised how quickly it happened.

It just hit me in a NOTHING but a funny way that if I bought the VETTE it would have to come with a humongous shoehorn and crane. If it was today that I had to decide it would be a Little Caddy or maybe the big one but when I go in there I know it will turn into the Secret Service Type SUV. I'm staying home and trying to behave. Trying.

Safelite showed up yesterday and even though I gave them the VIN when I placed the order the window was the wrong one. Try turning in a lease without OEM glass all the way around the vehicle. It will cost you. So another day to sit and wait on Friday.:pray:

I knew that the days flying by was not going to change as I got older or even when I retired by what my dad said to me many years back. My mother had passed and he lived on his own for 5 years after that before he passed on. By that point in time he was totally blind. Because he wasn't nearby, I would worry about him for many reasons - safety, health-wise, and especially loneliness. One day we were talking on the phone and probably in expressing my concern about him one way or another, he proceeded to tell me how fast time went by for him. I was like "Really?". I just couldn't believe it, from a man who didn't get out of the house very often and was limited by his lack of sight. So now I'm not a bit surprised that I can't keep up with the time that is flying by me and know it won't change anytime soon...........NOTHING.

I'm so glad you're back. You keep me NOTHING but laughing. Funny how all of you guys are interested in classic cars. My husband's brother had about 20 of them including an old Model T with a rumble seat. It was more than a hobby to him - more like a lifestyle where they traveled with a club and most of his friends revolved around that. My husband never got into it like he did, but ended up picking up this Vette when he was a teenager and had it restored. My favorite part was the restoration process because then it wasn't sitting in my garage!

K must really be dragging. He has had next to NOTHING to say. Stay safe out there, brother!

Just a reminder, it's Thursday, August 30th. I'm not looking forward to my 2 workdays ahead, but somebody has to pay the bills around here - lol.

Actually, in re-reading K's last post, I hope he woke up in time! I mean we can keep NOTHING going but we can't be his alarm clock too. :)

Information about Hurricane Shutters in TV
I'm gonna say that kind of information makes people shutter all over Florida.

You are on a roll with the classifieds -

NOTHING but good stuff. Maybe you could start a new way of doing classifieds that would get more hits (and hopefully more purchases) just for the comedic element.

Do you remember the amazing Kreskin? It was a Johnny Carson sketch. First you got the answer and then he opened the envelope and revealed the question. That was the funny part. I didn't consciously copy that format but now that I think of it, it seems a little like that.

Have to be NOTHING but old to get the Starsky and Hutch bit. My favorite was The Man From U.N.C.L.E.

Yes I do remember, and yes again, you're right it does seem similar. Appreciate your contributions. Between you and Nucky, you guys sure know how to brighten our days here on NOTHING.

Nucky 08-30-2018 08:54 AM

Be NOTHING but certain to include a phone number with each classified item listed to save yourself some grief.

The little ones in NJ watched and loved The Munster's. I couldn't believe it. I liked McHale's Navy. I read the other day that Tim Conway isn't doing too well healthwise. Just looking at Tim and Harvey Koreman just makes me smile.

Well then, I guess I'm NOTHING but official now because I got it - lol. I agree about the Man from U.N.C.L.E. even though I completely forgot about that show. Didn't they try to do a remake of it at one point? I don't think it lasted very long if I remember correctly.
