There's a 1940s Singer selling her Sewing Machine in the Classifieds. Do you think it's one of the Andrew Sisters? If it is I'll bet you double or nothing that's worth a lot of money.

I can't afford any more bets but if it's for NOTHING, why not! I can afford that - lol.

Good catch on your part though, tomwed, linking one to the other. I guess in The Villages, you just never know who might be there.

I am exhausted already! We are all doing a little bit of NOTHING for a little rest. Everyone has heard of Christmas in July but we had hide the Easter Eggs in August. So much fun though! Disney tomorrow...

Speaking of bets though, I've been thinking about this but I don't think I posted it yet.

My idea was to propose a cross-threading bet - Three Word Sentences versus NOTHING. The bet would be which group would fulfill their obligation to their respective bet first.

Any thoughts from anyone on this? I bet Nucky will have some - uh oh, another bet.

Maybe you don't see the ad in the list of threads.
The ad reads 1940's Singer Sewing Machine for Sale. it's too corny

What a great idea! Sounds like NOTHING more than continued fun on your calendar. You'll need NOTHING but a good long rest after this is over, but worth every minute I'm sure!

Okay, you're going to have to NOTHING but explain it and I know that ruins the whole thing so if you want to wait until someone else gets it, no problem.

You'll learn as the others have before you, I'm not too quick. Some people get great pleasure out of that but I never mind. It's been the story of my life.

Actually, I'm pretty good at figuring things out much later like around 2 o'clock in the morning. I wake up and say, "oh, that's what he meant!"......like I said, a little slow.

Duh.....fw, got it. I'm just so gullible, I thought it was for real.

What's even worse, I just burnt the top of the lasagna that I spent half the day making.......all over NOTHING. Lucky for me I wasn't making it for company and my guys will eat just about anything.

So it's NOTHING but for real??

I can just see K coming back tonight reading all of this, shaking his head, and saying...."Abby, Abby, Abby"

Well, at least you can't say I don't know how to make something out of NOTHING. It's one of my many talents.....

Hope you guys didn't think I meant YOU got pleasure out of picking on me. I meant NOTHING like that, just so you know.

You know we love you . The joke is that it is a singer sewing machine and the Andrews Sisters were singers. NOTHING to it.

I need a heart emoji to put here but none to be found. Thanks, sister.

And NOTHING to it is right. I shouldn't have even had to "put my thinking cap on" for that one. Where did that expression come from anyway? Wasn't that from a kid's show back in the day?

I think maybe you were a bit young for the Andrews Sisters. You and K are NOTHING but the young whipper snappers.

Weren't they on Lawrence Welk pretty regularly? I spent a lot of time at my grandmother's when I was young and we always had to watch that show if we were staying at her house for the weekend. My husband watches the reruns all the time now. Why, I don't know, but for some reason he gets a kick out of it and he is younger than me! He has always been NOTHING but an old soul in a lot of ways.
