It's got NOTHING to do with metabolism I would simply be eating NOTHING all week.

I NOTHING but commend you for passing up the spaghetti.

Looks like mine will be starting today. With company coming I'm into speed cleaning mode - who has time to eat? Lol. Your veal parm sure does sound good though. I can almost smell it all the way up here.

On the Santa Trip To Hell's Half Acre, we followed two different routes we never used before.

On the way up to Hell, Route 95 to Route 26 to Route 77 to Route 81 to Route 78. If it wasn't for the terrible weather going up I swear this way would have been way

more stress-free. The part of the ride on Route 81 with the Mountain Views and being stuck behind trucks trying their hardest to climb the Hills was just BEAUTIFUL.

NOTHING could stop me from going that way next time.

The secret to getting out of Heaven (The Villages) and heading towards HELL is using Route 301 to get to Jacksonville. It's actually 441 to 301 to Route 10 East. Just

reverse on the way to Heaven. Route 95 to Route 10 West to Route 301 South. The speed limit on 301 fluctuates because in some areas it looks like Mayberry, we think

we saw Barney Fife! They really deserve mucho credito for the improvement to 301 since we move down here almost 3 years ago. It is beautiful. Maybe 50 of those rents

by the hour Hotels. All of them were crispy and clean looking and a whole lot of bars along that route. We were coming thru there at about 2am and I don't know or care

what time they close.

They ride was truly an actual miracle that we made it without any incident. Driving in The Villages is a breeze, I'll take the occasional Ding Bat here than the collective

clowns we witnessed on our trip.

In total coming and going, we easily spent over 8 hours sitting absolutely still on Route 95 in Virginia and Route 95 in South Carolina. Whataya gonna do! We made it back

here and the fog is just lifting from the adventure. We traveled much more comfortably in a Sonata, Who would have ever thunk it. Half the price of other cars we've

owned and the gas mileage was 39 MPH and we were comfortable. Mrs. Nucky said it first about how well the car felt and how nice it was to not hear me crying about

getting blown all over the road like in our Ford Transit Connect. I'm still trying with the pictures, Patience Grasshoppers, I'll get it.

I'm NOTHING but confused isn't Santa supposed to ride in a sled? When did he become afraid of flying? Maybe he uses Amazon now

6th platelet donation over the Oct-Nov-December 2018 period at One Blood so I should be up for a $60 gift certificate and a single $10 one.

Not for NOTHING One Blood is doing another one of these with various denominations if you give platelets 2-6 times in the January to March 2019 period.

Nice people there at One Blood. I have been donating since around 2007 here in the Villages' area with some also done for Life South and Florida Blood Services in the Tampa Bay area. One Blood is a creation of a merger of various blood donation groups including Florida Blood Centers and Florida Blood Services.

Florida's Blood Centers Reviews | Glassdoor

I will be up to 25 gallons via One Blood's count even though the real figure is close to 27 gallons. I gave them my count back in mid-2007. And they have been using that guess and their counter.

Thanks, Nucky, for posting this info. The route you took up is exactly the route I am hoping to take on our next drive down. You answered the questions I had about it being less stess-free and without a doubt I thought the scenery would be much nicer. NOTHING but appreciate you taking the time to post this.
