Something About Nothing............ #14

lol.....sorry mrose.......in Italy we only ever got the thinnest pizza with fresh tomatoes, buffalo mozzarella, touch of basil and a glug of the best olive oil.......it was always beautiful as it was usually cooked in an old pizza oven outside.......ah memories......I can see why folks shudder in horror........



cam......glad you got your vacation sorted out....Im sure you’ll have a lovely time......and yes, hopefully a sneaky visit to Orlando....hope your weather improves.......ours has to change on Wednesday......back to rain and much cooler.......



Charade and Lynne......sounds like you all got some lovely food......and a walk sounds nice......


mac......glad it’s working again.....it has been a while!!!!




Managed to watch the docking of the Dragon to the ISS and then watched as they emerged into the ISS......fabulous.

Barbecue was lovely......ate too much as always, but so hard to resist.......now after a gap between courses, we are having some coconut ice cream and I made a lime coulis to go with it......no one else likes the lime coulis so it’s just for me ::yes:: There’s not that much.......

Going to watch a show called Killing Eve......this is season 3 and we’ve kept them all to binge watch.......it’s been hard to avoid spoilers, but we did.

Little bit cooler tonight but sun is still shining.......

Hope all are having a good Sunday........
 
Pizza night for me

Banana peppers
Bacon
Extra pineapple
Can’t say i’ve Ever had that particular combo For some reason bacon’s texture doesn’t appeal to me usually on a pizza but it was good on the hawaiian one i had a few days ago.
I love Jersey Mike's. I wonder if I could talk B into going there for lunch. She prefers Firehouse.
Neither in our neck of the woods, mostly all independent places, most offer pizza too
Wawa have the best potato chips around! We only discovered them last year when one of the StrongWater crew told me to try them......barbecue flavour and the sour cream ones were divine!!!
I laugh about the names of the grocery stores in the south...wawa, piggly wiggly. Makes me smile.

I'll mention it to dd to tell her coworker. Do you know if the people who initially felt better tested negative?
I didn’t ask, sorry. Early on they were telling those with mild symptoms to just hang in there, no testing needed. Now that they are more widely available, may have changed the procedure.
haven't been to Sam's in almost 3 months! Is it crazy to be somewhat excited? LOL!
Not at all. I was getting excited to be able to shop for groceries at Kroger tomorrow night at the beach. We don’t have them in our area any longer. Then, I remembered, I oredred two cheapie beach chairs for pickup at a super walmart there We rent an umbrella & loungers but I like having those low slung fabric ones to put at water’s edge to chill. we leave them on beach when done, someone always grabs them, quickly lol. Guess I’ll will pick up our food stuffs same time.
Happy Sunday,



DH went on charter fishing trip yesterday for seabass. Something he has wanted to do for a while. He caught his limit of 15. He was happy. He is making fish tacos tonight. I am happy😄


Sounds like you We didn't have the hoarder situation but my DH's family had a house on Cape Hatteras that was kind of off the beaten path and rarely used. One time we went for the weekend, arriving late at night. We went straight to bed when we got there but were soon awaken by our dog who was alerted to noises coming from the fireplace. The fireplace was never used and was blocked off from the interior of the house so we couldn't see what was in the fireplace but from the noises we heard we could tell a family of racoons had made their home in the fireplace. I went out on the deck and there was a racoon on the deck railing and one on the roof and one in the yard. They were everywhere. We immediately packed up and drove home in the middle of the night. I would have stayed but DH was afraid of rabies and whatever other diseases they carry. I was willing to tough it out to be able to go to the beach:) The next weekend my DH and FIL permanently blocked off the top of the chimney. No more raccoons.
They probably thought you were invading ‘their’ home lol

DIL wanted to book a fishing charter for us this week as an early Father’s Day thing. I decided, told her only time i was on a small boat in the ocean I thought I was literally going to hurl up all my innards. Never, had I been as sea sick as that for literally, hours. Ugh
Managed to watch the docking of the Dragon to the ISS and then watched as they emerged into the ISS......fabulous.
I did get to catch it, it was fascinating.
 
Friend sent this today, in connection with us having that same alligator pool float. Seemed familiar but it’s a goodie, apologies if it was posted already
View attachment 498217


I saw this a couple of days also....


Lol!!! Our neighbors have the same one floating in their pool most of the time......

They think it keeps the birds away........lol

I would think the chlorine would bother the gators naturally....?
 


Ha, we have a shark one. No gators around here, unless a pet let go wild. But think our cold weather would kill them.

Made my own salsa with chicken tacos made by me. Easy dinner, always good for a Sunday night.

And yes, was wonderful to see the docking of the dragon. Safe trip home for our astronauts.

With that, screen time chilling.

Have a lovely Sunday night, all.

I’m not sure what it is but my wife got a big jug of store brand nacho cheese and it’s really good, I’ve made 4 huge plates of nachos this weekend, with jalapeños and bacon on top of course........
 


Keisha I liked Knives Out Too! Love a good who done it and a stellar cast.
Ugh we had a empty hoarder house around the block. The back of the property backed onto my lane. Every few weeks someone cut the grass but nobody lived inside. Another rich widow. Had another house she lived in but then moved to nursing home. Tarps on roof, coyotes lived in back yard. House rat infested yuck. Family finally sold it. Was a knock down and big house built on the property.
We have lots of wildlife around here. No surprise about raccoons. We’ve had bears moving thru yard too. It’s been a few years since seen any evidence! Well maybe 2 yrs.
Yeah I could have just used “a salon shirt” but felt she was too careless. So I just go somewhere else. Also when I used to do the cap highlights she was so painful. Yikes.

Charade VR room sounds fun! Always makes me think of -was it Startrek that had thehologram room? So fun!
Chicken meet sounds fun! We had a meet with some of us last year at HRH! We had a great time. They tried to talk me into HHN without success!

Keisha lol I would have totally done that too, but think of it this way, maybe all those all star people having to move over to Pop. Maybe they’ll move Pop people up to Mod or deluxe to make room:p

It is a huge mess!

Elsa you are welcomed to the chicken group!

Schumi Loved Knives Out. I’ll have to give Zohan a try when I see it on again. Not a Adam Sandner fan either so I just pass it by.

MRose how sad to hear someone you know passed from COVID. 49 awful.
We don’t get city counts or even area counts, the news just reports Provincial counts. Oh, and Vancouver Island counts.
Yes my daughter was surprised! I hadn’t even thought about it and forgot the age in the US is different so didn’t warn her!
All are welcome in the chicken group! I’ll have a drink with you!

DisneyLife it would take more than a drink to get me to HHN!

Keisha I think they say you can have symptoms up to 2 weeks from exposure. So maybe sooner than 2 weeks?
That’s so scary about these riots and looting. I heard they were coming from other places too for the sole reason of looting and harm. My cousin in LA said she could here the sirens and helicopters from her home. A good time to stay close to home.

Schumi left over bacon! That’s one thing you’ll never hear in my house lol!

Lynne sounds like a nice weekend. Was dreary here but rain finally stopped mid day today.

Keisha I love Yogi Bear! Cute. I like Five Guys. Won’t go to BK or McDonald’s. They give me heart burn.
Oh that’s scary about it coming back worse. This is such a scary virus.

MRose good news on co worker recovery!

Charade I got a jump on you, changed my clothes out a few weeks ago! Always a good opportunity to weed out stuff you haven’t worn.

Have a good night all!
 
I was reading something this afternoon and said Cheesecake Factory was closing? Has anyone heard that. I hope it’s not true :scared:
 
Sue, I think I read just 27 or so CF would be closed, but rest are doing take out or opened their dining room. I don’t know which 27, and we don’t go to the one close to us, as last time we ate there years ago, made us not want to ever try again. Seems to do well enough, and is in our local mall, and I assume they have drive up, as they have an outside entrance, and like the mall’s food court Chick Fil A, has food taken out to your car.
 
Sunday right?
Been reading to catch up, sounds like travel plans for some coming together. Will be interesting to watch the opening of Universal.
Weather has been perfect this weekend. Went to lake and stayed at MiL saturday night. Lake busy with boats but our pontoon was fine handling the waves. Tried out our new raft-like a lillypad but inflatable. even got the doggy on it. He liked watching the geese swim right on by, good thing his life jacket has a "handle" on his back to keep him from trying to "retrieve" a couple birds!

And we are leaving Friday for Florida. Went ahead and decided to use the timeshare weeks. Marriott Harbor Lake has the most amenities open including the big pools. Flying oldest down for a week, and DH and the boy are flying back a couple days early-DH has a golf tourney and son has Freshman band camp. I think DH wants to try to go to Universal too-will be interesting so we will see. Three of us have AP's. Will wait for after the first week probably and see what is up. Have one of the DD's friends come stay at the house to watch chickens and dog, and make a some money.

And long interruption later I think it is time for bed. Did manage to contort myself enough to get a pedicure done.
Stay well and good night sleep! will try to remember the eggs for whomever has the bacon!

I tried bacon once on a pizza....Tom likes it, not for me....but hey, not many pizza`s I would turn down....

Yes some kooky names all round there!!! I love Wawa...never been in a piggly wiggly....no small boats for me either....actually no big boats either 🥴.....crossed the English Channel to France and Belgium and The North Sea for Norway on ferries.....I don't like boats.

Yep love when friends send you funnies!!!! Most of the memes I have come from them who stalk the internet.....they know I don't have twitter or FB so would miss half of them otherwise.....haven't seen that one before.....I will pass it along though...….::yes::

Docking and them entering the ISS was fabulous to watch. Those guys are going to be up there quite a time, look forward to be reading about their time and what work they`ll be doing while they`re up there.

Have a great week...…..

Bacon is never left over for long...….it`s always enjoyed!!

Zohan is honestly the only Adam Sandler movie I have enjoyed.....it is not for the prudes out there as it`s deliciously naughty at times......but we laugh so hard at it!

Hope you have a lovely trip this week Monyk…..if you get to Universal please come back and let us know how it was......lake life sounds beautiful too.......and nice job on the eggs!!!!




Monday......1st day of June.......it can only get better.......right?

And we are heading out this morning.......it`s almost like a big adventure.......not for anything exciting sadly. Today is the day a lot of things open back up and lockdown is eased a little.

No meeting up for us just yet. And we still can`t travel up to Scotland to see family and friends up there yet. Goodness knows when that`ll change......this is the longest I haven`t seen my mum in ages.....

But, we still have some lovely weather and have enjoyed spending time outside in the sunshine......plenty of places to walk to and just chill out.

Will have to think about dinner......maybe peppered chicken and baby potatoes unless Tom wants to barbecue again......we`ll see.

Since I started writing this, sun has disappeared and we have a bank of fog come in from the sea......very weird.....it`s quite thick. And we do have to go out....will wait till it passes......hopefully not too long.

Happy first day of June........it means I can say.....I may be able to get my hair done next month...…..:cheer2:
 
Night shift checking in o_O Can’t sleep.

Lynne are the 27 Cheesecake Factory restaurants permanently closed? My daughters will be so disappointed! It’s tradition when we fly out of SeaTac we have dinner at the CF near the airport!

Monykalyn funny about the dog! But float sounds fun. And an Orlando Trip soon, yay! Are you going to go to both Univ and WDW?
I tried to give myself a pedicure the other day lol! Ended up getting my daughter to help! Can’t see well enough at that distance. But since nothing much is happening not going to bother with going out for pedicure yet!

Hi Buckeev!

Schumi it must be hard not being able to see your mom. I have friends living in Seattle (work transfer, Microsoft) and both have aging parents here but can’t get across the border to see them.
I saw some of the docking on tv today. I need to get on NASA to watch more.

Well, 3am yuck. Going to try getting some sleep. Hopefully tomorrow night will be better. Tuesday have to be up bright & early for tile guys.
Tomorrow my oldest got called back to work and I told her I’d drive her since I’m not sure how reliable the busses are. They have reduced capacity so if they’re full they will just pass by bus stop. But she’s On her own coming home!
 
Yes, a Monday is here, and the start of June has below average temps to start the work week, then mid week, the heat says lets get this summer started. 72 is the high today, Wednesday’s high, 91. Yes, you know, with the summer temps coming, so do the chances for rain and thunderstorms. But at least today, will be dry, clear and very pleasant out.

Hi Buckeev, hope all is well.

Sue, hope you got more sleep in today, and nice to give a ride to DD. I don’t know,about CF closing, more than I just read. I would think the ones in FLA may not be the ones closed.

Schumi, yeah, I like most pizza, and while not fond of bacon on it, will eat it anyway. A place has an all meats pizza, and bacon is one of the meats it adds. Now that is a huge piece of pizza. I tend to order only plain cheese.

With that, tea in hand and the start of a work week. While we move to a less restrictive time, at the end of this week, still no date for return to office. But commuting or not, time for another short week. With all the heat coming at the later part of this week, need to get my bathing suit out, and enjoy some Friday pool time.

So yep,

26E56C08-1ED7-4FAA-B21F-1CC1DA02EE70.jpeg

Hehe, another Monday is here, and no salon open for me either.

Follow on, homies. Happy Monday, and yay,

5593EF56-D697-4794-BB81-1782EBF37F42.jpeg

Good Morning.🕶
 
Well hello stranger......:wave2:

So good to see you Rachel.......how are you???

Hopefully enjoying this lovely hot weather we’re enjoying right now.....and of course keeping well!!!!

Yes, Freddie’s voice can’t be beaten anywhere.......imo of course......lol.....and I love those images of him at Live Aid......one of my best memories ever!!!

Don‘t be a stranger......hope all is good with you and your husband.......how long is it since you got married now?? Time passes so quickly.........

BagsO
very good you finally made your way back home!
We have been waiting for youse!

You have been missed...


Woke up at 3 and wasn’t in bed until midnight

Neighbor cat on our front landing made it drive my cats crazy growling and hissing then ran to my bed and woke me up
Second time thru woke me up was 6:45, past food time they said.

Mr Mac due home today and he gets the morning cat feeding job back

Yea. I miss him very much for
morning feedings

Awww, everyone you make me feel so warm inside remembering me. Unfortunately one of the reasons i disappeared was that my husband decided to cheat on my 1 year into our relationship, 10 years down the drain it seemed, its taken me a while to get over all of it in all honestly, I was at the time so happy to be married to him.

But enough about that, its in the past and i'm trying to move on. The weather is glorious @schumigirl, which thank goodness or else this lock down would have been a bit grim.

BagOLaughs - Hello. Nice to meet you.

And you too! Always nice to meet a fellow USO fan in this forum.

Nice to meet you! Love your avatar!

Why thank you, the ghost with the most of course. haha. One of the funnest characters so roams the parks I think, he always cracks me up!

muzzled at the vets

This reminds me of a youtube video i watched about common cat myths which two vets are discussing. Purring doesn't always mean content and happy, the vet says, i 'I can't count the number of times i've been bitten by a purring cat'

Today being Monday means its work for me. I've been fortunate and have been able to continue my job from the house during all of this. Which also means i can take my lunch in the garden, in the sun. beautiful!
 
Oh BagO, sorry to hear of your reason for disappearing. Hugs, And how lovely, to enjoy lunch in your sunny garden. I am hoping the sun stays as sunny as it is now, so when I go for a walk at lunch, I will need my sunglasses. Weather guy said clouds to arrive later in the day.

Rachel I am so sorry to hear about that! I remember the lovely wedding you had in the beautiful Cotswolds.......

But, hope you’re doing ok now.......and glad you’re still working and able to work from home......yes, it’s gorgeous right now and been such a lovely April and May this year. Absolutely made the lockdown much easier........we‘ve spent a lot of time in the garden this year......and loving it I have to say!

Sending many hugs.......



Just finished lunch.......had prosciutto and few other little bits, including the nicest olives I’ve tasted in a long time.

Time to go sit outside now the fog has cleared.......that was weird. When we went out it was thick, but as we drove home along the coastal road, all we could see in front of us was a thick bank of fog over our little village and up into the woods behind us......very sinister.

Beautiful now though.........

Thank you, your kind words mean a lot to me. Its hard going sometimes even now but for the most part is getting better. I can't believe you had fog, that's awesome, I think its so atmospheric especially when it deadens the sound around you. Your lunch sounds lush. I've been having a lot of BBQ's as the weathers nice. Nothing better than cooking food over an open fire.

Oh BagO, sorry to hear of your reason for disappearing. Hugs, And how lovely, to enjoy lunch in your sunny garden. I am hoping the sun stays as sunny as it is now, so when I go for a walk at lunch, I will need my sunglasses. Weather guy said clouds to arrive later in the day.

Thank you :), how was your walk? Were sunglasses required? 😎

I remember that there are some avid readers in the group? I've been reading a really kinda fascinating but disturbing book called 'What lies between us'. Its about a daughter who has her mother chained and held captive upstairs. Its so grim yet very good read. You find out how they both go to this situation. Neither of them are innocent. Got about 1/4 left to go and i'm desperate to find out how it ends.
