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

[mckennarose]

Well, that was quick! Results are in and hubby and I are negative for antibodies. Dang!
At least we know what we are doing to stay safe is working, so that's a plus. It's weird to say that I was hoping we had it at one point, but so mild we didn't know. Oh well.....

 

[schumigirl]

Lynne....glad you enjoyed the Chinese!! It has been missed here by a lot of folks.


Elsa.....anything with purple will be just lovely!!! Hope the frost doesn't last too long for you.....


mrose…..nice gifts there for you......I`m not sure whether to say congratulations or not......not having the antibodies, but means you`re healthy...….yes, it`s strange. A young healthy 22 year old died of it in the last 24 hours only a couple of hours after developing a fever. Horrible and so tragic.

We have lots of deer in the forest behind us......they are tame for the most part, except when they hear the guns in the distance. It`s farmers shooting vermin usually, but sets them on edge. They are so beautiful and yes, they let you get quite close.




Well, I spoke too soon about our weather improving. Tonight the high winds are back and we had hailstones an hour or so ago. Now it`s just raining, but so windy and downright cold. Warm in here though.

Splashing out with a pepsi tonight......and watching an old episode of Midsomer Murder.

Early night I think...….nothing much on the tv tonight later.....

Oh a friend sent me this picture today......I`m going to send it to a friend who is one of the managers in the Studios that covers the ET ride.....he`s probably already seen it, but will send it anyway......so cute.....

She wrote....I know you like doughnuts and I know you like ET so thought of you when I saw this......

Love it!!!!

only upper 60’s today and then 70’s tomorrow
Big heat of the 80’s comes Saturday

So what I hear you saying is for us to all come down to GA and we'll have a slumber party?! LOL!
Enjoy the weather. I'm super jealous.
I was just talking to one of my dd's and we're going to get the kayaks out of my garage soon and clean them up and check the life jackets. We need things to keep busy and look forward to. Maybe we can do a social distance cookout at the lake and kayak in the next month.

What awesome thoughtful gifts!

Thank you! They're good kids. I was already looking at what to make from the cookbook!

A young healthy 22 year old died of it in the last 24 hours only a couple of hours after developing a fever. Horrible and so tragic.

It amazes me the range of severity in the cases. One person gets a rash on their toes, another can't breathe, another can't smell, another dies. You never know who is going to get what. That's what makes me nervous about it.

With so many cases here, I was really hoping we somehow got one of these mild cases we're hearing about. We both were bummed. Hubby was going to donate plasma and I was going to see if they would let me with my health issues.

We have lots of deer in the forest behind us......they are tame for the most part, except when they hear the guns in the distance. It`s farmers shooting vermin usually, but sets them on edge. They are so beautiful and yes, they let you get quite close.

We have lots of deer here too. They usually don't come up close since people do hunt here. At least it's not the rut! Then you need to watch them coming close. We also have black bears, and you will come across them once in a while. We haven't seen one in a few years on our walks, which is good because they do scare me.

Love the ET!

We get a lot of Canadian Geese since were by the lake, we do have a lot of whitetail dear hear in the Midwest, our cabin up in Wisconsin they come right up in front of our windows.

Watching the movie (It is a childhood favorite) and maybe why I have interest in space so much, but watching the movie I did think E.T. looked a bit gross, but that glazed E.T. looks pretty good......

On another note, my wife got told by one of the snobs at her office that she would have to quarantine for a minimum of 2 weeks after our trip to Florida in September obviously if it even happens to begin with......

I don’t care for snobs so you know what I said.........looks like you just got 2 more weeks of vacation......

I’m the last person on earth to hesitate about booking 2 more weeks at Universal or Disney!!!

Texas Roadhouse steaks for dinner again tonight........these were done excellent as usual, I hate to say it but Texas Roadhouse to go has become better than eating in.....

Buddy of mine bought a new pickup truck, it’s more like a monster truck, I laugh a little because it has big tires and stuff, he has a big boat to pull though, I laugh because he’s a little fella, I said you need a ladder to get in that, he said you can just pick me up bro...

Sounds like a lovely trip you are envisaging at the lake.....sounds very idyllic.....and a very welcome break!!

Yes, the variances in symptoms is scary. My "cold" certainly had some symptoms of the virus, but not all, so I have no definitive answer if I had it or not and I know many people are the same.

Yes, deer here have no real worries as we don't have hunting her. Well apart from the farmers and their shooting of vermin. And thankfully we don't have things like bears to worry about.....scariest thing we come across is a fox....and they`re usually pretty tame too. Yes, the USA have some scary predators around.....

Although one of my favourite pastimes is to study the Honey Badger......jeez.....that is one amazing creature!!!! There are some amazing youtube videos of them....one gets bitten by the most poisonous snake in Australia…...it falls over for a bit, then shakes itself off and goes back and bites the head off the snake and kills it.....so funny! Nasty little creature, fearsome but fearless......

Looks like we`ll have the two week quarantine coming from the UK, but no issue for us as we both have the luxury of not working anymore. But for people that work, this may be the end of vacations for a lot of folks who can`t quarantine for two weeks after a trip, regardless of how long it is.

I`m laughing at the snob comment......I`ve been called a snob a lot....mainly because of snarky comments people make to me, usually about the amount of time we spend in America at one time, and I respond back with an appropriate reply, usually in a very polite but clear tone, I can be very British at times......hey, if the shoe fits, I`ll wear it





And Wednesday again........

Exciting event today???? Wine delivery between 10.16am and 2.23pm.......very exact timing!!! We were sent a lovely offer from a company we haven`t ordered from for a while......well, it would be rude to refuse......16 bottles will be rumbling towards us right now. We`re not exactly short of wine but we`ll fit it in.

No walk this morning as it is freezing outside and we have had some hailstones. Same last night, but we had a very breezy night and that has died down a bit.

So, will bake some scones this morning. Think it`ll be cherry and coconut. Going to make double and drop some at the farm door as she likes my scones. Saves us eating them all

Chicken salad sandwiches for lunch.......and meatballs in spicy sauce for dinner....making Kyle mac n cheese....

Have a wonderful Wednesday ​

Haha, I can see that response from people I guess, I don’t understand why one would feel that way but I guess they do.......

I can only imagine the amount of travel we would do if we were retired......

Being 38 though, I still have a while to go, even though I did tell many in my early 30’s that I would like to retire by 35, well some changes in my business when I was about 33 3/4 changed that.........

We did travel an awful lot when we were younger, and most places we wanted to visit we have done. Some places we’ll never return to like Dubai and most of Europe.

Yes, travel is wonderful and we love America, so we’re happy to go there. Early retirement has been the best thing ever......I retired at 35 and only went back to work as a Practice Manager to help out a friend for a couple of years, it was only part time and I loved it. But much prefer being a lady of leisure.

I understand why folks feel that way, the ones who’ve made comments are usually a little envious. I can deal with that. Comments like oh we can stay a week for what you pay a night and said in a derogatory tone shows me who they are. Good for them.....I don‘t care what others do. I’d never be dismissive of someone who chooses to stay in a place that costs $400 a week.....but seems some find it acceptable to be that way in the opposite case. People are people.

There used to be someone on here who was like that with us, they don’t post anymore, but if I broke 2 legs they would have broken three....only it was on everything. “Oh yes we got that too” was a common phrase. Never understood that competitive deal with folks.

I’ve written a speech now!! Time to get my soap box......but yes, folks are funny and very obvious about it too.




Well, my scone didn’t turn out the best.......Tom (going to blame him) asked me to double the cherries in the mix.....I said they may not rise as they should......he said put them in......

They didn’t rise. They are a bit like flat scones......tasty enough though.......we’ve munched one each and now about to make a cup of tea and have another.....

Sun has come out, so if it’s not too cold we’ll head out a walk. And wine arrived at 10.52am.....so we can head out as it’s here.

Time for a pot of tea......

 

[macraven]

It’s Wednesday again
Halfway to the weekend

and weather will mean the ac goes back on then.

Will take heat any day over cold and snow!

 

[keishashadow]

Spray throat three times a day...

You are supposed to clean your own stuff you use at the Gym?? I imagine most would clean down what they would use anyway, but you`d still expect it to be properly cleaned by a professional company too!!! Shocking.

Here, It’s considered very poor form not to wipe down the equipment you use in a public gym. most I know will wipe it down before they utilize it too. Too many reports of even the highly regarded gyms here being sources of staph & mrsa infections etc. we have our own basic equipment. DiL has a peloton Tried it once & said ‘no thanks’ lol

Well, that was quick! Results are in and hubby and I are negative for antibodies. Dang!
At least we know what we are doing to stay safe is working, so that's a plus. It's weird to say that I was hoping we had it at one point, but so mild we didn't know. Oh well.....

Yes, seems strange to comment - sorry, you are negative lol. I do get it though!

We get a lot of Canadian Geese since were by the lake, we do have a lot of whitetail dear hear in the Midwest, our cabin up in Wisconsin they come right up in front of our windows.

Ugh don’t get me started on those pains in the butt. We are infested with them year round. They’ve tried running dogs at them, spraying etc. but they persist. Filthy beasts, they seem to prefer using the walking tracks as their bathrooms.

 

[Lynne G]

Hey, we have a sunny day, just cool enough for me, jacket will still be on.

Yay for McK and DH not having the virus.

Yeah, we have both migrating and resident geese, and yeah, their poop is in the most walkable areas. Yeah, we have dogs that chase them and fake owls put around. Red foxes are sometimes seen, and yeah, we shoot those white tail deer, or else a car kills one, or they wreck a car. My neighborhood park has them, as well as the cemetery, but I don’t see them around my home. Too residential. Raccoons are the biggest annoyance, trash can raiders.

With that, healthy people note, weather report, creature talk, and a Wednesday is here. Woot!

Ah yes, you know who reminder:

See, sunny day.

So get over this hump of a day, and wahoo, a Friday will be here soon enough.

Haha,



Said by more than one homie, I bet.

That‘s my kind of JD!!!!

Have never set a foot in a gym in my entire life.......no plans to either.......but yes, I’d imagine cleaning the stuff before you use it....but I’d also expect it to be done religiously by the gym too. Ewww....can you imagine......on the other hand maybe not imagine.......lol......

When I think of Canadian Geese.....I think warm jackets......lol......

 

[KStarfish82]

Good morning!

Another day, another well...day. Just had a meeting with some of the other administrators in our building and we are getting inklings about the possibility of this continuing into the Fall.

Have an hour left on on "live classes" between myself and Chris....been going since 8:30.

Supposed to finally hit the 70s this weekend...not that we have any place to go...but the sunshine is a welcome treat!

Have a great Wednesday everyone!

 

[macraven]

I really appreciate when homies state the day of the week as it’s always Saturday to me.

Drove to the post office twice today.
First trip was to send a parcel out and buy another shipping box.
Came home and packed up the second box and back to the PO to ship it out.

Gal at the post office counter said to me, are you a twin as someone was just here 30 minutes ago to ship out a package.

Warm day here of 75 now.
Opened all the windows to air the house out.
Will have the ac on this weekend as high could be 87.

I’m crossing my fingers that City Walk opening goes smooth for their reopening day.

Many will be reading about it and make a decision on any future trip to UO.

I think about all the homies here a lot.
May we all stay healthy and be able to move ahead with future plans of trips and fun family time.

 

[Monykalyn]

Sunny now after 2 days of rain and cold. Looks like everyone had a good Mother's day? Some places are opening up here, so we went for lunch-sunny but a little cool outside on the patio. Sun felt good. Only one other table out on the big patio was occupied when we went-deliberately went on at an "off " hour of 2:30. Little weird being out though. I've sent DH for 99% of the shopping-dislike it on a good day and now I've got an excuse . My mom is doing ok, although they are being super careful-she's only been out to Dr's office to get blood counts, and once to get a shot to bring counts up, and she's got fitted N95 masks.
@mckennarose I understand about the wanting to have the antibodies...I got a survey from the hospitals that are working with NIH on the large scale antibody testing-just general questionnaire-so now will wait and see if I get picked.

Strawberry plants coming along, although rest of garden is taking sweet time due to cooler weather. And I've spent time the last couple days getting my broody hen out of the nesting box. She is in the "preferred" box for laying eggs-today I couldn't find 2 of my hens-well they were squished into the same box! Silly broody hen-we have baby chicks but she won't take to them-we've tried. Although the babies are 4 weeks old now, and almost feathered out. They now go and stand at door of the dog crate we've got them in when they hear people coming-open the door and they are out like lightening. My DH (the chicken "hater") rigged up a semi permanent area they can be safe when we take them outside, but it's too cold the last few days.
Bella. Hard to get a picture that isn't blurry, but she was slowing down now and fell asleep shortly after.

No solid travel plans until August to take middle to UCF. If Disney is open and mostly normal we will go, otherwise I'll wait. Although am getting cabin fever, especially with a notification of my "upcoming Disneyland Paris stay" HA-looking at roadtrip to South Dakota and Black hills/Badlands. Easy to keep distance from others and mostly outside. And cabin to ourselves so not even shared space in a hallway...Still "work from home" and I can literally do that anywhere there's internet. Wouldn't be until July anyway-time to see how things go.

Hope everyone is having a good week!

I hope things get going smoothly also, our next trip is still 4 months out for 2 and 1/2 weeks, I have 2, 3 day weekends planned after that and 10 nights in December also and I hope by then things are somewhat normal in 4 months, if a person can do simple math they would see one thing immediately, the park’s won’t be doing themselves financially right if they hold back on capacity for very long, big numbers are what they need and thrive on and at some point the bubble will burst whether it’s the companies saying enough we have to be able to open and carry on like normal or ok it’s cost us to much money and we won’t recover lock the gates.........obviously we all want success for the places we love to visit.

Don’t take it wrong health and safety is very important but the theme parks can’t make money off of fear or rising costs of keeping everything cleaner than clean.

Then cleaning the clean again.

 

[macraven]

With City Walk opening very soon, its a start to test the waters on how UO will proceed for their new guidelines.

They are starting small with a few eateries and shops and will gauge what works and where they fall short.

I am hopeful this will lead to park openings within the next 8 weeks.

I still have my plans to go to UO in September.

Good to see you Monyk…...glad your mum is doing ok and being well looked after.....must be a dreadful worry for you. And your meal out sounds lovely......yes, a little different for sure.

I heard that some workers have been called back to start at IOA and VB soon......not officially announced as far as I`m aware....but it`s a good sign.

Looking forward to hearing any reviews from folks that do go to Citywalk tonight or in the next week or so and see what it`s really like.




Thursday and another day to go pick up our click and collect groceries from the store. High excitement.

Our butcher called yesterday to ask if we needed anything this week, to be honest our freezers are still full. But, we`ll pop in and pick up some bacon......always need bacon!!!! And some deli meats, they have the most amazing turkey slices.....so buttery!!!

Another cool day ahead, but forecast shows we have to get warmer weather into next week.....not before time.

​

 

[Charade67]

Good morning. I woke up at 5:00 and have not been able to get back to sleep.
I have been in a really down mood all week. Not really sure why. I think it’s a combination of not being able to go anywhere and dealing with the stupid insurance issues at work. I have been having really crazy dreams this week. More so than usual.
Yesterday I had a couple of things happen to lift my spirits. I went through a drive thru at lunch and when I got to the window the cashier said that the person in front of me had paid for my food. I’ve never had that happen to me before. I paid for the person behind me. Hopefully it kept going for awhile.
When left work I saw the woman who lives in the condo above my office. She was walking her new, adorable little puppy. I was trying to admire the puppy from a safe distance, but she ran over to me (long leash) and started running around my foot. Her owner had to come over and untangle her from my leg. How can you stay in a bad mood in the presence of a cute little puppy?
When I got home from work our new pantry cabinets had arrived.
Sorry it’s sideways.

Tomorrow we begin phase one of reopening the state. I’m torn between wanting to stay safe for a little longer and wanting to get away from home for a while.

 

[Lynne G]

Ah yes, a Thursday is upon us. And yeah,



Won’t Womp. Well, not really. I have to remind my DH. This working from home makes him forget what day it is. Kept telling me this morning this coming Monday is a holiday. I said, well if you count my Dsis opening her pool, yes, but Memorial Day is two Monday’s from today. Sigh. Making May going too fast. Ack, sometimes time does seem to go fast.

MonyK, sending some hugs, hope all get and stay well. Older on me is sneezing a lot. His allergies are having him medicated to try to stop some of the more serious reactions. Asthma ia his main reaction. Hope your allergies are being managed well. And always enjoy chicken pictures and your stories of them. Neighbor chickens are still around, noisy when they are first let out.

Ah, and Schumi has me at bacon again. We are out of it, I guess, as little one remarked we need to buy bacon. Guess that will be on our grocery list this weekend.
