Good Morning you all, today is a day filled with prayer and Good Thoughts for one of our favorite NOTHING'S. It's gonna be great when the recovery is over. Funny Huh how you get close to people you've never met? :pray:

We were at home playing Trouble till about 11 PM, laughing our butts off and when we all said goodnight the kids went out for a ride in the Golf Cart. I was verklempt. I was under the impression they were going to bed.

I guess no matter what they've been through and seen all over the world you still have that parent thing going on. I told them both that there is an 11 PM curfew in our home and if they didn't follow it that they were grounded. It has been great having them here so far, I'm very grateful for that. :pray:

Today is for our Dear Friend though and reports of all this fun and frivolity can go on the back burner for now. :pray:

The NOTHING view count for Wednesday, 3/20/2019 at 8:55 AM EST is 262, 055. Just 502 views for that 24 hour period. :boom:

I think it's going to be a good day to be in NOTHING (or New Zealand)

Indiana-- 1,311; Maine-- 529; Mississippi-- 71; New Hampshire-- 782.
 

The Villages Daily Sun for A4 has these six states listed showing their Villages households' numbers:

Indiana-- 1,311.

Maine-- 529.

Mississippi-- 71.

New Hampshire-- 782.

New York-- 6,303.

Pennsylvania-- 3,700.

I almost went to the University of Indiana at Bloomington Law School and was all set to go there in 1986 but changed my mind and started what would become my very long term and rather dramatic relationship with the U of MN Law School. Mainly changed because of the large number of relatives I had in the Twin Cities through my double cousin who had married a woman from Edina whom he had met at the University of Montana. And also that there would be lot more law libraries to try to get a job at while and after law school in the Twin Cities.

Seems to be a whole lot of NOTHING going on.

I've got a little NOTHING for you Tal, how many people came to The Villages from New Zealand and what is the weirdest place someone was imported from, you know the country nobody ever hears about? Go ahead there and let 'er rip. You could lie and nobody would ever know NOTHING! :a040:

They do have a place in The Villages Phone Book that shows countries from which Villagers call their home towns. I will have to NOTHING but take a look there.

I have had friends in NV, CO and MN from Mosul, Iraq; Bilbao, Spain; and some country in Western African where the man was a son of some tribal king. Probably the most racist man I have every met as he lumped every African-American as a descendant of a slave of some kind. There was a guy from Edmonton, Canada who used to talk about the balmy weather we were having in the Twin Cities.

Yesterday we were in Napier. We stumbled upon a chocolate factory. Yes, Mrs. K did NOTHING but stock up. lol

Today we're in Tauranga. We're heading up to their version of Yellowstone. Active volcano and geysers. Should be fun.

Holy NOTHING K-Man at least you finally got to another place that I know, Napier. Very nice, I have a Jersey buddy over there on a two-year contract with a company. He doesn't want to come back.

Stand back from the Geyser, that's not the way I wanna meet you, on the six o'clock news. :)

Chocolate NOTHING but one of my food groups. Just doesn't get any better.

How about Chocolate with Jelly Beans? Thats NOTHING but equal to the great news of the day, Yippppeeee!!!!

Just two households from New Zealand and maybe a half dozen from Australia. Six households from Iceland which is interesting and not for NOTHING.

One of the most beautiful women I ever met was from Iceland but the people she hung around with said she was not all that bright but I still remember how deep blue her eyes were. She was a Bower's Mansion in Washoe Valley between Carson City and Reno, Nevada while I was there working the food service and dreaming about the female lifeguards. Kind of hard though as one Summer I was working with a pregnant woman and everyone kind of assumed that it was my handiwork when they saw us working together 5 days a week. I had fun working with her though.

Good Evening Nucky and the rest of you sweet Nothings. The surgery was at 7 am today. The did a spinal and with the "cocktail" of drugs they are giving me every 6 hours I feel great.

I was up walking sometime around mid-day. No pain and very little discomfort. As so so many have said before "I should have done it sooner." Now I understand.

I didn't know whether there would be wifi in my room and whether I would be up to posting. But yes on both counts.

I don't also know whether they will keep me here for a 2nd night or send me home tomorrow. Either way, I'm good with it.

Thank you for all your prayers and good wishes. I know they helped.

No, no, nothing but no! I prefer hearing about "all this fun and frivolity" -- no back burner for that. LOL

Well I am nothing but wiped out and need to sleep. So again. thanks for the positive thoughts and prayers.

Good night all you sweet nothings. I will try to report in tomorrow, God willing.
