I see last night was a busy night and only 2 of us were MIA. Usually Friday nights are Deadsville on NOTHING so I was surprised to see all the activity.

Sure would like to talk to Mrs K sometime about that foot reconstruction she had. I took a bad fall in my late 30's and had some damage to my right foot. Unfortunately, the damage was overlooked at the time by the ortho doctor that I went to see and was never corrected. Didn't find out until probably a year later that there were all kinds of bone chips floating around in there. Long story short, it frustrates the heck out of me now because I notice at the gym or when I'm walking long distances the only thing that keeps me from doing more is my darn feet!! Heels - fuhgettaboutit! Anyway, enough griping for now. Besides, if that's all I have to complain about at my age I should thank my lucky stars........

Today is Saturday, January 19th. Hope you all have another great day!
I'm sure you'll get your chance. She had a plantar facia release along with a mid-foot fusion. Other than the two months off work she was NOTHING but happy with the results.

I'll miss the snow a little. Just the pure entertainment it provides when people don't know how to drive in it is NOTHING but worth it. But I guess I can always watch YouTube.. lol

Not to worry there will be plenty of bad driving to entertain you year round here. NOTHING but tons of people who don't know how to drive or can't remember.

Here's some entertainment for you -

Sometimes I think K would make the perfect husband for me. Now don't get too excited and let's not start any rumors, just hear me out. I like having my mornings to myself and I like them to be quiet. I can get up at a reasonable hour somewhere between 6 & 8 and know that K won't be on here til about 11 or 11:30. I like predictability. There's NOTHING like that here. My husband's hours are all over the board and like a box of chocolates, I never know what I'm gonna get in the morning.

Then there's the fact that K's bedtime is much later than mine meaning it will be easier to keep the fire burning. I don't mean that fire - I mean the fireplace fire! It's always a big deal here about who's gonna roll out of bed first and take care of stoking the fire. God forbid should the heater turn on - lol

And last but not least - he's 3000 miles away and I can turn him off and on with a tap of a computer button......

Disclaimer to dispel any ridiculous rumors this could foster: There is no trouble in paradise in this household. Some mornings I just miss my lengthy quiet time.......

That is true. And six to ten year olds driving golf carts during the various holiday seasons.

We will be out of the 224,999 range at the next hourly count on NOTHING.

I lived in Denver, Colorado for a year and Minneapolis, MN for 5.5 years. But I abandoned a car in Belmont, CA in 1985 having had enough of driving in winter conditions as well as heavy SF Bay area traffic. When I got to Minneapolis in 1986 I relied on public transportation and my own two feet.

My car spun out in Salt Lake City on the highway around December of 1983 and I spent a few hours of the 1983 New Year's Eve with my front wide shield facing the highway while I was stuck in a snow bank outside of Cheyenne, WY. Then there was that attempted car jacking in Eastern Nevada in June of 1984.

And the moral of the story:

NOTHING is ever perfect! Amazing how that fits right in with our thread. Just grateful we NOTHINGs have been blessed with wonderful spouses and praying for Tal to someday find the same.

It's better that way. Sometimes when you stray out of NOTHING I am too tempted to be the follower and Mutt and Jeff are at it again.

I sure have had trouble in that department. I am usually attracted to funny and skinny blondes and so are a whole lot of other men and not for NOTHING even though I dated a heavy African American opera singer whom I worked with in Belmont, CA and had a Chinese-American woman squeeze my hand quite hard when we were watching Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom in Denver. Ran around with her in Northern CA as friends as she had a boyfriend who was and is a great guy. She is a children's librarian in Los Angeles and he wanted to be a screenwriter but wound up a school teacher. I did talk to her about a lot of stuff.

Had a lot of dinners with two very Catholic women Spanish Professors while at the U of MN in our dorm. They were from Bilbao. These were graduate students who taught undergraduate Spanish. I often hung around with the international students in the dorm as I had little in common with the law students. There was a history Graduate student at the U of MN who was kind of a friend and we had things in common and he hung around with this international group especially those from Latin America or Spain. He was from Texas.

NOTHING wrong with being a follower but you don't seem much like the type being our fearless leader of NOTHING. That's a LOT of shredding -WOW!

Anyway, did I get in before you all fell asleep? Getting too old to keep up with this late night partying anymore........

I shredded NOTHING but another bag full. I would guess I'm at the halfway point of everything I need to shred.. At least on one of my desks I can now see wood.. lol
