Btw, Tal, I agree with you. He would have been a very interesting person to meet. I could have looked past the hair and clothing.
Einstein's hair is NOTHING but a mess usually in the pictures of him.

Running a little more crowded over night with around 700 views.

I guess the Kommander nailed it when he said NOTHING was in the bag for 250,000 by tomorrow's count.

Now that's a cool bit of NOTHING..

When I made that proclamation I forgot that this was February, hence a few days short of a normal month. Luckily NOTHING is still in the bag.

Tal was in Vegas when the gunman shot into the country western concert and that scared the poop out of me. NOTHING but a lot to deal with. But she was home not out and about in Vegas. My niece's mother was working downtown in Vegas and heard the shooting. This is a different niece than the taltarzac nieces and nephews. My younger brother had two wives and a girlfriend he got pregnant in 1982 but we did not even know about the pregnancy until 2015. After he passed away in December of 2014.

We moved to FL because tarzac and their parents moved to FL from Northern CA in 1995. Then taltarzac moved back to CA and NV.

For the Love of Pete. I takes me a couple hours off and whammo all NOTHING breaks loose.

1) I miss FW already. (Nickname Steady Edna) Great advis and to the point. One of the best people I've met on this Forum.

2) I would like to apply for the NOTHING Enforcer. Without the physical stuff. I am also a little handicapped as my enforcement is better done in person Not typing

3) It's nice to see the conversation with Tal going so nicely, he like you and the others are Great People no matter what anyone says in private BM'S.

4) I've been so glued to the News and fixing up my new TV that I missed the flooding thing out West. Will investigate ASAP. Glad things are good as of now.

5) Never really mentioned how concerned we were when K-Man was Forest Fighting last year because Smokey Da Bear's was NAPPING! Never knew anybody with that job and never thought about the danger till K went. Bravo. We had two firefighters in our family but I was too young to worry when they were active.

6) The reason PA was not listed is that there are only several people living there now. You guys are two of them. Throw the Breaker on all of PA turn out the lights and come on down.

7) I usually don't speak of it until September but we were closer than close to the worst thing that has happened in our collective lifetimes. Floods and Earthquakes in N.J. were actually common in an area towards the Poconos where we had a Vacation Spot. Scary stuff then the whole operation starts shaking.

8) There is usually a Tsunami once a day when I get to the pool. I always warn the Q-Tips that I'm jumping in and we have a good laugh.

9) The house I lost because the husband (seller) told me he never saw my offer, well he was a little off base as I spoke to his wife today and she (seller) told me he is having operating difficulties. Thank God I didn't hire a lawyer. I take back anything nasty I said or thought about The Husband & Wife Realtor Team. I never specifically named them and never would. Just owning up and keeping the record books straight.

Ditto

I'd vote for that in a New Jersey minute.

3) It's nice to see the conversation with Tal going so nicely, he like you and the others are Great People no matter what anyone says in private BM'S.

People are talking about us? Well, I'll be........

I think the fault line that runs probably from there to DC and south may run just south of our house. We've had a least 3 episodes of mild trembling/shaking. One time when the whole house shook, I was inside and hubby was up on the street carrying on a conversation with the neighbor. When he came in I asked him if he felt anything and he said no. That was the weirdest episode. It was reported shortly after on the news so I know I didn't imagine it. It's NOTHING but startling to say the least.


8) There is usually a Tsunami once a day when I get to the pool. I always warn the Q-Tips that I'm jumping in and we have a good laugh.

9) The house I lost because the husband (seller) told me he never saw my offer, well he was a little off base as I spoke to his wife today and she (seller) told me he is having operating difficulties.

Regarding #9 above -

I've said it before and I'll say it again - You're NOTHING but one heck of a good man.

I sometimes wonder about the private messages on Talk of the Villages and me. No big deal. Cannot say I care in the least.

That is funny about the tsunami, Nucky, and not for NOTHING.

Guerneville looks like quite a mess especially the downtown area. I have not been there since 1996 or so. My parents moved to Sonoma County in 1986 from Scottsdale, AZ. I left for law school just after they moved. But came back to Rohnert Park, CA a few times a year until leaving Minneapolis in late 1991. Went through the Blizzard of 1991 in Minneapolis. 1991 Halloween blizzard - Wikipedia

Tal, Open the window and listen for the BaWhoosh in about 15 minutes from The Paradise Pool. I could NOTHING but empty that baby in two Belly Whoppers. My little Grandkids still talk about the splash from me goofing around in that pool, it's a little deeper than most and a great memory. Thank's Buddy Boy & Buddy Girl!

I used to do cannon balls and sometimes belly flops in our pool in Palm Harbor which was NOTHING but fun but you did have to watch for water moccasins and other critters coming through the bird cage. We were only a few hundred feet from Lake Tarpon and all the alligators in there.

And my cousin the once New York Jets manager was a long football toss from our house in the much richer subdivision on Lake Tarpon. He is with the Jags now and was with the Bucs.

Never saw anyone swimming with the gators in Lake Tarpon. Lots of people fishing though.

Nucky is something of a NOTHING enforcer.

We should get 250,000 views of NOTHING quite easily.

The Rialto Theater manager called me on Monday night 2-25-2019 telling me that I had two tickets to today's Gone with the Wind showing because of my choices for who would win the 2-24 Oscars. Guess I did OK or there were few entries. Or they had a lot of winners.

Gone with the Wind is an extremely long movie so I did not even try going. And I would have been away from NOTHING for close to six hours if I had. They wanted be to go early to the movie to make sure I got the seat I wanted.
