That's great I get my next NOTHING for free. I never got a freebie. How many times have I said Damn, Damn, Damn, and laughed my butt off typing it?

Gonna have to hire Hazel with that Lallapalooza house. No doubt that the entire area is beautiful where that house is.
To each their own. I'm happy for them if that's what rocks their boat.
Believe me when I say we are NOTHING but modest people - always have been and always will be. It sure would be silly to change in retirement. We never had the JONES complex - way too practical for that. We also have always been very fortunate to have friends who are of the same mindset. Some have money and some don't, but we all live moderate lifestyles and you really wouldn't know who has what. My husband and I never moved too far in our thinking and desires from our mostly blue color roots and we like it that way. Like my wise husband says - what makes life sweet is your relationships, not what you have in the way of material stuff.

Material stuff can be gone in an instance. When we went to the Waterford factory in Ireland and I came home with NOTHING my friends asked me why and I said why do I want anything I have to worry about breaking?

Wonder what tomwed has been up to? He's been MIA this past 24 hours or more. I hope he doesn't think he isn't able to come back unless he has a recipe to post.

Tomwed, wherever you are, you only have to bring your NOTHING to post here and NOTHING else if you so desire. Hope you are just out having some fun somewhere.

Last time I heard from tomwed he was going to the Waterford Outlet to see if they had any deals in NOTHING other than the Scratch and dent department.

Our Daughter In Law has a pair of shoes that are important to all the girls around 30 years old, I don't know the name but they have a Red Bottom on them and Oprah owns a pair. I think they said $900. I said zero, but I was thinking that's $90 per toe and more than my entire wardrobe. I never want to wear long pants as long as I live. I own two pairs in case something comes up that I can't get out of.

If it wasn't for the Safety Officers I wouldn't wear long pants either. I think we should have NOTHING but a pants burning party when I retire. I'll save a couple pairs to get into the main dining room on our cruises though.. lol

Hmmm........so has NOTHINGVILLE declared burning of the pants the new burning of the bras? Leaving you 2 alone at night may be a dangerous thing - lol

Good morning, everyone. Today is Sunday, September 16th - halfway through September already. Before you know it the holidays will be here and a new year will be upon us. Indeed, time does fly.

Up and out early to the gym today, but honestly I think I worked out harder scrubbing the floor yesterday. The smaller house in TV should be a snap to clean compared to this one. Maybe the desire for a bigger house will diminish when I find out I have too much to do in TV to want to spend time keeping up a house. My husband is already looking forward to a lot less yard work. I never thought I would hear him say that because he always enjoyed that. I guess we're getting old........or maybe we're just getting smarter.

I vote for getting smarter. We went from 3000 sq ft most of which we didn't even use to 1700 very efficient sq feet. Being all on one level is NOTHING but the best.

Ditto to all of the above. I can't wait for a smaller yard to maintain and Mrs. K. can't wait for NOTHING but a smaller house to clean.

Mrs. K. has to work today then she'll have the next two weeks off. One week with her mother here then one week in California to run her mom and dad to doctor appts..

So her turn to leave you to bachelor it for a week I guess. God bless her. What a good daughter to give up her valuable time off to tend to them. Something she will surely never regret.

On another note, Costco may become NOTHING to me......

NOTHING is more important to Mrs. K. than her mothing. It's going to be a tough road when that women leaves us..

What did Costco do?
