Sorry about putting your kingdom in pink, K - lol



I apologize for the worldly term. I meant NOTHING by it. NOTHINGville is the kingdom, I assumed you knew what I meant. Perhaps I need to go on retreat, self examine and come back with an uncluttered mind. Wait ! I am on retreat, no mo’ work for this white boy. Now, if only I would stop dreaming about work when I’m asleep. I need retreat when I sleep, I wake up stressed and exhausted with not a penny to show for my efforts. Maybe I retired too soon.

Nothing but a Pup Tent. LOL. Seriously is that a good place to eat or am I just that desperate after being disappointed so many times? I have a plan that is better than NOTHING for finding great places for the regular folk to eat some vitals.

NOTHING but lunacy last night in NOTHINGVILLE probably due to the full moon.

Happens often on Talk of the Villages. Not just on the NOTHING thread.

I think often is NOTHING but an understatement especially not on the NOTHING thread. I don't read many of them anymore which keeps my blood pressure in check.

I take pills before venturing onto some threads. Not for NOTHING.

I do not understand people who like to feed off of controversy. I like the simple fun of NOTHING.

Thanks to the Kommander for keeping his cool as always while the Den mother had a melt down. Can't stand the thought of any cubs going astray. So I see this morning all is well in the kingdom - hail to NOTHING!

Current status looks like we are all in the clear and we have agreed to agree on the benefits of NOTHING. It would be clearly foolish to let NOTHING slip through the cracks when posting on this thread. If we don't continue to require NOTHING in each post it will be much too easy to lose focus on NOTHING and chaos will surely ensue. Isn't that why we started NOTHING in the first place, to avoid that very thing? It would be an insult to NOTHING to not require it's presence in every post.

Having said that, Good Morning everyone! It's Thursday.

Let it be said, let it be written. The NOTHING scribe has been summoned as we speak.

Thanks for your calming words about NOTHING.

The rest of your post is a big fear of mine. It took both hubby and I probably 10+ years to get over the stress of college and exams, dreaming about it on a regular basis - waking up feeling somewhat panicked until realizing it was only a bad dream. I'm wondering if I won't be doing the same thing about work once I leave for good. At least, my jobs have gradually gotten less stressful over the years so I'm not as high strung when I get home at night. I don't mind so much losing sleep if I'm making a good wage over it, but to lose sleep over NOTHING, well that's another matter.

I went from working 60 hour weeks to working NOTHING and loved it. I used to work from home and people would say oh lucky you not realizing that when you work from home you don't stop at 5:00 and go home.

NOTHING to get excited about..

My recurring nightmare is showing up on a job barefooted.. I'm NOTHING without my boots.. lol

Kenswing 06-28-2018 09:23 AM

And BTW.. This NOTHING has now surpassed the Original NOTHING in both posts and views. This NOTHING is now in uncharted waters..

As we approach the six month anniversary of this thread let us renew our dedication to NOTHING.

That's big news for NOTHING, and it's a "job" you can do even without your boots on.....lol

If my parents were still around I know where they would be living, no doubt about it. :pray:

Not for nothing, but I always thought Gladys Knight was a very UNDERrated talent.

Original NOTHING was started in Political. It was an escape from the madness there. Obviously, we felt we still needed that escape here. NOTHINGS are so needy......ok, so I speak only for myself here. :o

If I remember correctly, the house had just caught fire and we grabbed our most prized NOTHING possessions and headed for the skinny dip pond.
Needy or not, we panicked.

No you can speak for me too. All of the arguing and controversy accomplishes NOTHING.

Which is why we need to remain in solidarity with NOTHING. The Manifesto is not a golden idol.

I have to admit, fw, that I never noticed the change in your tagline (or whatever you call it) until this morning, which of course is why you kiddingly said you would be exempt from further NOTHING violations. Having missed that I didn't even realize what was going on. Very clever of you, although it meant NOTHING in the end.

Don't mind me - if you haven't already noticed I can be a little slow to catch on. Of course, both K and W most likely picked up on it right away and the joke ended up on me......NOTHING new there!! :p

I should have put my NOTHING in upper case. It sounded like a good idea at the time.

It was a GREAT idea, but rules are rules in NOTHINGVILLE - no skirting around them and no shortcuts. Best to stay united about it, not divided. Even though it is all just NOTHING to many, it is clearly something to all of us. :smiley:

The Thread About NOTHING
 
Is it worth group think to consider our growing ranks may justify a NOTHING bootcamp ? I’m way to busy interpreting the Manifesto so I would like to nominate Nucky as our first drill instructor. Or is he too busy searching us out decent Italian food ?

There should be another thread named ALL. Posters can decide for themselves. It's either ALL or NOTHING. :)

A thread divided is a thread like every single other thread on TOTV.

If someone doesn’t like NOTHINGville simply leave. Love it or leave it seems appropriate here.
