You are obviously quite stressed - you almost forgot your NOTHING again. And that visual was NOTHING I needed to have today. Hope your dog goes soon. Wouldn't want this to turn into a NOTHING dog poop thread - lol.

Well. I do have to focus on NOTHING. And not dog poop. The rain does wash away a lot of the poop in the yards and other places which is a good thing. Yesterday, I was talking to a guy who used to work at the Amtrak Station in NYC and almost walked into a load one of his dogs just put down but he quickly stopped me from getting my boots dirty by flagging the crap. Lots of interesting people in the Villages and near them. A few years ago I listened a lot to a man who used to manage the NYC subway system. And often talked to a NYC retired art teacher. And an off Broadway NYC retired dancer. All while avoiding dog poop. Some of the time.

I have only seen NYC from a distance but never been there. :(

My older brother was in NYC a few months ago to meet with a bunch of possible publishers of his book but he has yet to find one. They have some kind of meeting of potential selling writers getting together with publishing houses in the Summers. Something some of the budding writers here in the Villages or nearby might want to look into.

Lots of writers in my family. It seems to be a family addiction.

Bacon, Ice cream, pizza, chili. But NOTHING still comes first.

Has this turned into the NOTHING poop, book, movie review club? :1rotfl:

Just stuff maybe of interest to the many people who look at the NOTHING thread even if I doubt if many people would be interested in the Simon Scarrow Eagles of the Empire series. Barnes and Noble here in the Villages did have a few of them years back but probably have none now. That is partly why I get them from Book Depository. And they often discount them.

Scarrow also wrote a series on Napoleon and Wellington. Have not read any of these Wellington books though.

B&N Store & Event Locator The Villages' Barnes and Noble has a really cool store number. 2264.

Wind may pick up soon here in the Villages. Did clean yard of debris but will have to pray that the neighbors' junk does not come our way. Hope it is NOTHING to worry about.

Although the order of things may be a little different for me, you're a man after my own heart. The only problem is living with you my nickname would be NOTHING but "Two Ton Tess". :1rotfl: I can't even keep most of that stuff in my house. They're like a magnet to me. I'll indulge once in awhile when I'm out where the portion is controlled, but otherwise can't even go there.

Bacon would be more important than NOTHING.

You NOTHING but like to push buttons, don't you? Or would that be considered taking things to the limit? Or both? :undecided:

That's frustrating when that happens. We live downwind of many homes on our street so we often get to rake our leaves and NOTHING but half the neighbors as well.

NOTHING is more important than NOTHING, but ice cream and pizza would come before bacon on my list.

I only like the ice cream and pizza. The rest of you NOTHINGS can have my share of the bacon and chili.

I am so with you, I adore bacon but nothing comes before pizza then ice cream!

My daughter lived in Manhattan for many years and we used to go there often. It is NOTHING but a great place to visit but I could never understand why she would want to live there, although she did meet her husband there.

Hubby got up this morning and said I think I'll make Bolognese sauce with this ground beef we have. A few minutes later he said, you know what, let's do Chile. LOL I don't read these threads to him so the power of suggestion does not apply! Unless, after 30+ years he has learned to read my mind.

I have the other package of Skyline in the freezer. I didn't throw it out because I promised GG that I would try it again but doctored with onions, and beans and cheddar cheese, etc. (It seems to defeat the purpose of buying a frozen food). But I can not bear the possible chance of ruining a nice homemade Chili so it will have to wait for nothing but another time (maybe).

We're also expecting heavy rain with strong winds. Hopefully it won't spawn another tornado. That was NOTHING but destructive.
