The ticket taker was quite tongue-tied. I have been going to the Rialto a lot this month and feel that they might be getting to know me. So I said something.

NOTHING but Alfred Hitchcock movies for the most part except First Man. They put that only at the Rialto.

I saw your posts about the Hitchcock movies that they were showing there. NOTHING but cool that they run things like that. I used to love watching Alfred Hitchcock Presents on television and have seen most of his movies. Good stuff.

Yeah, I haven't been out tonight, but last night it was NOTHING but gorgeous. In fact, I was thinking if I had one extra ounce of energy last night I was going to post - are you guys seeing the same moon I am? Lol. It was so big and beautiful on my drive home that I just sat in the driveway in my car for awhile and looked at it while I was playing some music. It must be cloudy out there tonight because usually it will light up the whole back of our house casting a beautiful stream of light across the deck and into our bedroom that has a bank of windows along that wall. But tonight it looks NOTHING but dark out there.

Oh my goodness, NOTHING but funny or sad or crazy......I'm not sure what?! One time when we were visiting, my husband's male cousins took him there to see what the night life was like in TV. Good thing I trust those guys - they came home with some stories

But it NOTHING but brings out all the crazy. Although watching tv I'm starting to think it might be television that is rotting people's brains.

You're right. We have always noticed that no matter where I have worked whether in hospital or retail. NOTHING brings out the crazies like a full moon. In fact, we had a truly crazy one in our store last night right before closing. I'm glad the store manager closes with me at night - he is about 6'5" and a lot younger than me. I kind of felt sorry for the person but was scared at the same time. He got up to approach her to see if he could help her and she took off out the door. You just don't know what can happen sometimes when you approach people like that. It really is sad that so many of them have no where to go with the closing of mental institutions so many years ago. But I know you mean more normal kind of crazy too, if you can call it that.

We are getting close to 9000 posts. Wonder if we will make it to 10,000 by the end of the year along with our 200,000 views? That would be NOTHING but a great Christmas gift to hit both goals by year end.

I just thought of something else that would make for a better Christmas gift though - having tomwed back as a regular poster. NOTHING more important than relationships, even ones based on NOTHING. Miss you, tom.....hope you are doing well.

The older I get the more I start to wonder what normal is. That is why I like NOTHING so much because it doesn't have to make sense.

Normal is NOTHING but a moving target. What was normal 50 years ago is looked upon as weird today. What is normal today wasn't even thought of 50 years ago.

Yo Que Pasta! That Normal today and 50 years ago thing sorta ties in with that blonde lady from NBC who was on Fox a while back. She is having a little difficulty explaining what she meant if she really gets the chance, I dunno, who gives a hoot. She is not worth worring about so if she hurt others which I think she did, screw her. I see my pal Al Roker got his feathers ruffled so it must be something, I really don't have the whole story.

Getting the Santa gear spruced up tomorrow in an early super early preparation for the big trip. I have to make sure this baby fits or get it right no matter what it takes. I miss being on here throughout the day but without the Main Home Page its just N.F.G. to surf under today's posts. If it doesn't feel good I'm out and I'm a no lika the way this is for now.

Hope your all doing goodly. Hope to be back to normal soon, I think its been about a week it just feels like a lifetime. NOTHING but time running slowly this week.

I am finding that everything electronic is depressing, the news, television programs, social media etc. I try to stay away from the controversy and stay in NOTHING and I am unfriending more and more people on FB for posting crap I don't want to see. I am keeping only my closest friends and family. I am happy when I am out and about with real live people which is the best thing about The Villages as there are lots of opportunities.

If I didn't see you on here this morning I was gonna go searchin' for ya, good buddy. I thought maybe you were busy with the car situation. Anyway, glad to see you are okay. Btw, one other way to bring up the NOTHING thread kinda quick is on the main page go to "Just for Fun" - NOTHING is usually one of the threads near the top of the list. Once in awhile we don't come up on New Posts especially if someone decides to take long or excessive naps.

For anyone who doesn't know, today is Friday, October 26th. Is anyone working? I hope not.

These are a couple of really good posts. So much has changed and I don't think necessarily for the good. I know our parents probably said the same thng and they were right. Before television we played more board games and cards which led to much more interaction with one another than watching a show on tv. The more advanced we become it seems, along with the positives, come many negatives as well. It's great being able to see family pics on FB and other means in an instant or to facetime or skype with family members no matter where they are, but like you said I see a lot of ugliness that I wouldn't if I was meeting up with the same people in conventional ways. I don't have a FB account for that reason but thanks for the reminder because for the sake of staying connected with some old classmates I thought about it. But I think I'll just continue with texting and emailing them and hopefully meet up again in real life. Which leads me to your last sentence, fw, the statement that stuck out for me the most. There's NOTHING that beats real live experiences with no electronics involved......NOTHING.
