In New Jerky it was a cool $5 a day period. No Gas, plenty of crummy coffee and NOTHING but torture waiting for everything. At that time I was a high energy go-getter mover and shaker with no time for foolishness.

Times have changed, now I'm low energy, I hardly get anything at all the first time. My usual response to everything is Huh, Excuse Me, Repeat, please! I also have time and now the patience for all the foolishness that could be flung my way. It's all good, I'm the most grateful person just to be alive with Mrs. Nucky and to be living here.

I feel so bad for our friends in the Colder part of the country right now. When it's this bad I don't even want to tease them about how good we have it in Good Old Florida.

I like it a whole lot more when we know each other are Okey Dokey! Patience and Faith come in when we're worried about one of our pals. Look a few weeks ago we were beside ourselves and ready to jump because we couldn't find Tal. Remember? All it was was a lack of Corpuscles! Kidding! Just a Dopey Modem was the problem.

I am feeling NOTHING but uninspired. I think my brain is hibernating. They even cancelled the entertainment on the square because of the cold and yet up north it would be a heat wave. Go figure.

This question is for everyone. How often do you guys go to the squares? Has the novelty NOTHING but warn off over time? What are the acts that you like to see?

We still go every week, not always for the entertainment. On Sundays we go to get an ice cream and visit with the turtles. Sometimes we go to shop. Sometimes we just go to walk around. Sometimes for NOTHING but Rocky and the Rollers or Scooter the DJ.

And before I turn in for the night, I wanted Nucky to know he won the prize. He was NOTHING but right - everything has been all JACKED UP around here!

I'm so sorry if I led any of you to worry, but I told you this week was going to be crazy...........and it has been so far. I hate when I have no time for NOTHING.

I'm exhausted, so off to bed I go. Hopefully I'll catch you all tomorrow.

We still go often, I would say twice a week and once on the weekend. Blue Circle (I can't remember the rest of the name) and the ones FW mentioned. It hasn't lost its luster yet in almost 3 years.

There really are some Characters up there and people drunk off their keisters but they are free entertainment and it doesn't happen that often. They are just living their dream, NOTHING but not ours.

LSL is just Beautiful but we go to SS because we're home or to the pool in minutes afterward.

SS has NOTHING but Kirwins and the cruise-in once a month and we sometimes go to Brownwood also since we are centrally located. All in the golf cart of course.

We NOTHING but love Brownwood too but it's a risk to drive that far in the dark with the additional problems a Cart Driver could encounter on the path home. I ain't talking about Deer, Dear FW. If we can't go to the Square in the Cart, in my eyes whats the use of going.

I'm glad you guys still enjoy going to the squares. TV is going to be NOTHING but a monumental lifestyle change for us. We have absolutely no night life here. The only time we enjoy afterhours entertainment is when we're on a cruise.

Send 'em up the river, Nucky! Just kidding mostly slip & fall & car accident type cases. It was a long way from the parking garage to the Courtroom. All worth it.
Watch Hyundai's Super Bowl ad starring Jason Bateman | Special: Super Bowl - Ad Age

NOTHING but a funny ad about jury duty and other rooms in hell. Hope you can get it. Google Jason Bateman and jury duty if the link above does not work.

One of the reasons for staying close to the Hysterical section is 3 Pool's open at night. I would love NOTHING better than to go Fatty Dipping or Chunkie Dunking in my own pool but unless I get a surprise I don't think that's in the cards. One surprise is how cheap it is to have your private pool maintained here.

Brownwoodskiawitz is conservatively including all obstacles at least one hour from my house by Cart. That's a day time trip only. I've turned around before. Even a flat tire could ruin your whole night. BOOOO! Lot's of Coyotes on the news tonight but not in The Villages yet. I would be the first one a coyote (Wylie) would grab, for obvious reasons. LOL.

BW and SS are day trips this time of year by cart but are doable when the days get longer. LSL is just 10 minutes away. That is why we selected this area. NOTHING like having it all.
