Something About Nothing ... #12

[Chuckers]

Chuckers Lol it's seriously hard to keep up as to the acrynoms

And new ones seem to be added monthly.. plus, there's now a movement to amend the 'official' pride flag to be more inclusive.

 

[schumigirl]

51 days for us..........not that I'm counting or anything .........that's till our overnight at airport night before we fly to New York........


Going looking for either hat or fascinator tomorrow.........I like hats! Any excuse to wear one........and no better reason than a wedding.........


Dh has now officially finished work.........

He only goes back in now for his leaving do on the 31st.........they have tea and cakes, then a lunch and he gets to say goodby to his colleagues that way. We have invited his closest work colleagues and partners for a night out in August.........that way we can pick and choose who goes...........

Nothing on tv tonight........

Making strawberry lemonade.........

 

[Chuckers]

@schumigirl I've heard the term before, but I forget what a fascinator is....

Not a hat, but sits on the head usually to the side.........

Not the one I'm looking at, but first picture I came to.

The one I'm looking for is more like a giant flower......if I can find it I'll post a picture.........

This is one I'm thinking of.......but got a few to look at.......

Wooooohoooooo enjoy 'your' retirement!

I'm sure princesses Eugenie & Beatrice are lovely girls, but some things cannot be unseen lol

 

[Lynne G]

Oh but those so remind of England. Hehe, all the women seemed to have those fun hats.

 

[macraven]

the sans is a good way to find information ........

would have never looked for those hats/head pieces unless it was posted here

Yeah, unfortunately, the more "inclusive" they 'try' to be, the more exclusive they become. Makes me laugh at the people that are the loudest screaming tolerance...so nobody can hear anyone with a different opinion.

Lol.........yes those were "different" At least things like that are usually kept for weddings......not an every day item. I love hats and fascinators........but yep special occasions only unfortunately........

Yep, we're ready to enjoy.......although I'm already well rehearsed having chosen not to work for many years......it won't take Tom long to catch up .........he cleaned out his offices yesterday........didn't bring much home at all.......couple of pictures and some personal items.........didn't take long.


Haven't got up yet.........sounds not very nice outside...........although my tummy is rumbling.....nothing unusual there........will get up soon...........though not as loud as thunderstorm we had during the night........first for a while.......

 

[Lynne G]

Ah, 80 degrees at 6am this morning. Going to be steamy again. Yesterday topped off at 94, today should be 95. Yay! In the start of a longer heat wave. Seeing Sunday may be the breaker. 86 they say will be Sunday's temp.

Congratulations to Tom on his retirement.

Yep, I doubt I'll have much, maybe a small box and a few pictures, though I have around 10 more years before I can retire.

But, you know what day it is? Well, not for Keisha or Schumi's DH, and Schumi, of course, but it's hump day, and Keisha's reminder is here:

Yes, it is Wednesday, and that means a Friday is a few days away.

Awesome homies, have an enjoyable Wednesday.

Time for my tea. And, remembered the pound cake. Little one left some for me.

 

[macraven]

Yea
It's Wednesday

 

[keishashadow]

Rumbly tumbly? That's my speciality! the mr is off work = bacon once he rears his head. Probably the last cooking I'll do today. Like Lynne it was awfully hot & sticky when i woke, yikes.

At the point where raccoons have lost favor with me. Sneaky things keep figuring out how to break into my garbage cans despite having locking lids/tie downs, you name it.

Last night heard the season's first rabid coon. The sound they make is unearthly. They aren't hard to spot once they crawl out into the daylight, look like a drunk ambling about until someone puts them out of their misery. So creepy, worrisome with pets & kids. Seems early for them to pop up though, usually not until mid August.

 

[Robo56]

Morning everyone



Lynne had sat down with my coffee and was looking at the Sans and you said it was Wednesday and realized I had not put the trash out for pick up today.....it is on the curb now......thanks to your reminder.......when you are retired sometimes the days run together a little. Thank you for the hump day reminder.

Schumi you and Tom will enjoy his retirement. I love having my fella home with me all the time.

 

[Robo56]

Morning Mac . Hope you are doing better everyday.



A little HHN get well motivational.

 

[macraven]

i'll admit since we retired, days of the week mean nothing to me except when walking dead is on....

always come here to see what day of the week it is.....



Thanks Robo!

 

[Lynne G]

Yeah, Keisha, we get rabid raccoons around too. Seems the cop shot one near our neighborhood park the other day. It is scary, as pets might want to go after a mad coon. It is blessedly hot already. Iced tea for me. And you said bacon? Oh yeah, I'd take that. And since those fast fingered coons want the chickens so bad, neighbor electrified the fence. A couple of good zaps, and the raccoons haven't have chicken dinner yet.

Nice to enjoy your cup of coffee Robo. Glad to see all is well with you and family. Trash day was the other day, and had to pull over, and remove the cans from the end of the driveway. Glad to see yours went out in time.

Always sending good thoughts Mac. Hope the healing is going well, and pain is going away fast. Hang in there, will be happy to see you walking or riding pain free with a new knee.

and a funny:

- keep those cats in order Mac. LOL

 

[macraven]

perfect cat picture to make me giggle...

our cat Bluer is just like that.....so i always have to close the door when i'm in the bathroom

I don't understand how a RAINBOW needs to be more inclusive? There's not one color in there that represents any one specific group.. IT'S A FREAKIN' RAINBOW!

Holy cow I just had a flashback to reading Stephen King's Cujo! no no no...

i FINALLY got smart and put a reminder on family google calendar for trash to go out Monday night-did this Tuesday morning as I watched garbage truck drive away and realized tradh hadn't been taken down...

Had house to myself for a couple hours today-does NOT happen often over the summer-so I ....cleaned, and skinned and froze tomatoes, and made tomato sauce (can you tell I have tomatoes?). Chicken mole with rice and mexican beans tonight (Courtesy of Try the World Box)-but as it turns out it is just me and oldest DD and she is running off to work in a bit...that means I'll be alone again for awhile-the Netflix is MINE.

And the cuddle chicken fell asleep on the boy this morning...
