Holly, Whit, Twila, Jane, Ed, Bill, Bob, etc. all got into discussing the merits of his books. Too bad so many of the people you meet in the Villages pass of various diseases. So many friends lost. Some of these names as well.

Decided to read it again even if I am starting to get a little pressed for time.

I often wonder if we can read books in heaven or see the latest movies? MercyMe - I Can Only Imagine (The Movie Session - Official Music Video) - YouTube

Did you forget you are on the NOTHING thread?

Haha.....I was thinking the same thing. Sometimes when we talk about things we are passionate about NOTHING goes out the window. The more passionate the less NOTHING. That's why you don't see the Kommander forget his NOTHING very often. I think the only thing he's passionate about is NOTHING...... and maybe bacon - lol.

207, 204 views now as of 12/20/2018 8:37AM EST. It picked up from yesterday. :bigbow::popcorn:

Lots of new movies opening tomorrow and many of them I want to see are at the Rialto and only at the Rialto.

That was the only theater open when we moved here in June of 2005. The Old Mill Playhouse opened its doors around November of 2005.

Oops........no NOTHING here either. I think you did forget where you are.

Wow -- so FW are you the nothing summons conferrer backup to Abby, who is the summons conferrer backup to K, who is the summons conferrer backup to no one? Well then, good job. I would not want that job because half the time I don't notice nothing and I wouldn't like having to proof for nothing. It's a skill that doesn't come easy to me.

I got up in the middle of the night - saw no new posts, saw the rain and then saw the bed. I didn't plan to re-sleep until now. (I don't think you can call it a nap.) LOL half the day is gone! :MOJE_whot:

Many, many years ago I read a study on a group of Proofreaders whereby they were given days of work to proof that had NO errors. They showed that the error free work produced far more stress than work that had errors for them to correct.

Also many, many years ago, I received a resume from a person who, in the body of the cover letter, said he was looking for a job as a Prufreader! I saved that letter in my file called nothing but "Memorable Resumes".

It's NOTHING but a team effort on here. If we didn't call out the lack of NOTHINGs, our thread would not just be NOTHINGless it would be meaningless. :)

Had to get the dog out in a break in the rain and not for NOTHING. So I forgot the NOTHING but just stuck it in for good measure.

Well that certainly would be understandable for NOTHING but a break in your concentration.

I cannot get to rereading 61 Hours until after I have read Simon Scarrow's new book The Blood of Rome. This is a Macro and Cato adventure. Stories of two Roman legionnaires in the period around 42 AD to 55 AD, so far. The times under the Roman Emperors Claudius and Nero. You can get books sent almost any where in the world for free on Book Depository where I get these books shipped from Great Britain at quite a deep discount. And not for NOTHING as I like saving money.

After I read it I send them to my older brother who also likes stories of ancient Rome. He has actually been touring Rome a few times. Me, I still do not even have a passport. Just been to Canada and Mexico and perhaps 42 of the US states.

That is NOTHING but a big problem for us too. Our dog does not like the rain.

I do hope that the Scarrow Macro and Cato books get to the Year of the Four Emperors of 69 AD. Quite a violent mess with various Roman provinces fighting each other to get their military leader on the Roman throne. And not for NOTHING. Claudius - Ancient History Encyclopedia

He has not pooped yet so it is still a problem. He is sitting on my Dad's lap where he usually is for 4 to 6 hours a day. That or some other lap like mine or my brother's or brother's wife's or mother's or some neighbor's or even the lap of the visiting pastor. I hope he can hold it and does not have an accident on a lap. And not for NOTHING.
