    SF..hi you ok :l

    well its not raining so going to let the rabbits out...made a couple of toys for them...Im sure the white rabbit is really a blonde!!!

    Big shout to all not here ..take care


    One particular Christmas season a long time ago, Santa was getting ready for is annual trip, but there were problems everywhere. Four of his elves got sick, and the trainee elves did not produce the toys as fast as the regular ones so Santa was beginning to feel the pressure of being behind schedule. Then Mrs. Claus told Santa that her mom was coming to visit. This stressed Santa even more.


    When he went to harness the reindeer, he found that three of them were about to give birth and two had jumped the fence and were out, heaven knows where. More stress.
    Then when he began to load the sleigh one of the boards cracked, and the toy bag fell to the ground and scattered the toys. So, frustrated, Santa went into the house for a cup of apple cider and a shot of rum.
    When he went to the cupboard, he discovered that the elves had hidden the liquor, and there was nothing to drink. In his frustration, he accidentally dropped the cider pot, and it broke into hundreds of little pieces all over the kitchen floor. He went to get the broom and found that mice had eaten the straw end of the broom.
    Just then the doorbell rang, and irritable Santa trudged to the door. He opened the door, and there was a little angel with a great Christmas tree.
    The angel said, very cheerfully, "Merry Christmas, Santa. Isn't it a lovely day? I have a beautiful tree for you. Where would you like me to stick it?"
    Thus began the tradition of the little angel on top of the Christmas tree.


    Why was Santa's little helper depressed? Because he had low elf esteem.

    A Jewish Santa Claus came down the chimney and said: "Anyone want to buy a present?"

    WHY IS A CHRISTMAS TREE BETTER THAN A MAN
    A Christmas tree is always erect.
    Even small ones give satisfaction.
    A Christmas tree stays up for 12 days and nights.
    A Christmas tree always looks good - even with the lights on.
    A Christmas tree is always happy with its size.
    A Christmas tree has cute balls.
    A Christmas tree doesn't get mad if you break one of its balls.
    You can throw a Christmas tree out when it's past its 'sell by' date.
    You don't have to put up with a Christmas tree all year.

    JUST TO EVEN IT UP.....

    10 Reasons Why a Christmas Tree Is Better Than a Woman
    10. A Christmas tree doesn't care how many other Christmas trees you have had in the past.
    09. Christmas trees don't get mad if you use exotic electrical devices.
    08. A Christmas tree doesn't care if you have an artificial one in the closet.
    07. A Christmas tree doesn't get mad if you break one of its balls.
    06. You can feel a Christmas tree before you take it home.
    05. A Christmas tree doesn't get mad if you look up underneath it.
    04. When you are done with a Christmas tree you can throw it on the curb and have it hauled away.
    03. A Christmas tree doesn't get jealous around other Christmas trees.
    02. A Christmas tree doesn't care if you watch football all day.
    01. A Christmas tree doesn't get mad if you tie it up and throw it in the back of your pickup truck.

        Good morning Abbers,

        Was on the schedule to watch kids all day but now I'm not & that's perfectly OK too!!!!

        Wishing everyone a great AF Tuesday. Keep the coffee coming Mick!

          Good Morning All,

          Thanks for the shout out Mick. I've been keeping it quiet enjoying my new AF self but I'll join you for tea this morning. I've found an Asian tea that comes as a pod about the size of a marble. When you put it in a cup of hot water the pod opens to a blossom. It looks rather like an alien and creeps out my husband but has a delightful peach flavor.

          Mick, make sure you take some pictures of you and the missus in your travels. We can compare the Brit on holiday vs the American on vacation. My husband also packs everything. He usually sees most of our trip while looking at his GPS on his iphone. While in San Francisco he used the altitude meter on the iphone to determine the grade of the hills in town. Loads of sniggers and eye rolling by the family. lol.

          Kuya. I'm going to have to take a peek at X-Large Knob Man's thread again myself. If you make yourself a target people WILL shoot at you. As for his concern that he might injure the female species (really???) well, my second born was a 10 1/2 pounder. We women can take a lot, so to speak. It's more likely he'll put out his own eye measuring the damned thing.
          Be back later after checking out the news. Toodles!

            Good Morning Mick thanks for the coffee and the kickoff...and boy did I ever feel like a superstar yesterday. Thanks again for your thoughtfulness.
            Careful on checking those passports too much...I've heard of people being refused cause of damage/watermarks.

            Morning KY...yup I believe you've come into your own..... weren't you the first to respond to the penis thread :H

            Morning Lav...I know exactly what you mean. Sending you some "P"ositive "P"ep this morning. Use as needed.

            In contrast to Lav's day mine is supposed to be sunny, above freezing and no snow. Easy day at work as the boss is away for 2 days. Just have to catch up the Office Coordinator as she's back from a weeks holis. Have to cuff the other co-worker for giving out false information resulting in me getting a 10pm phone call at home. All in all should be a good day.

            Have to get my 2nd cuppa to finish reading Mick's jokes. Xmas jokes ok with me, we've already had our Thanksgiving!

            Have a great AF Tuesday all and all to come....PPQ

              Morning Nurdl...you snuck in while I was typing. First off thanks for the congrats yesterday they made me feel really special.

              I have to look for that Asian tea, (name please), it sound really interesting and I love peach.

              "If you make yourself a target people WILL shoot at you" now was that directed at X-Large Knob Man or KY? :H :H Just kidding.

              I think you're right, he'll be at the Optomatrist before any women need medical attention.

              Have a great AF Tuesday Nurdl.....PPQ

                  PPQ - forgot about the tea. I got it at a store called Teavana. You can probably order it online. The brand is Peach Momotaro Blooming tea. The Pineapple flavor is also good but they are both rather expensive. On my quest to find new things to drink I figured I would splurge and give it a try.

                    Morning all - back to work today:upset:
                    Heating on at home, thanks for checking Mick, nice and cosy now.
                    Times are so much better with the girls, we have lots of laughs - there was a lot of shouting good nights from our respective beds last night before we settled down, would not have happened after I had my routinue bottle of wine +! In spite of all we are going thru, we are laughing more...it is so great!
                    Daughters both went to school wearing teh clothes they have bought on shopping trip, good way to know they are pleased with their purchases - hopefully they come home happy too, and some girl bully did not tease them or something equally evil - girls can be so cruel to each other.
                    Nurdl just heard about blooming teas the other day - passed a Teavana but din't even think to look for them in the store - duh!! It is good to have a "special" drink for special occassions. I will have to remember to look. I woudl like elderflower cordial, but can't find locally - anyone managed to buy in the US??
                    Avoiding the aforementioned posts so far, been a very long time for me, and not sure I can handle it :H. Love your big baby comment Nurdl!
                    Mick, knotted hankies, brown long socks and sandles - can just see it!! Happy packing!
                    Have a good day all - stay warm and cozy - Lav, my youngest woudl call your day a "grismal day" - sums it up nicely....

                      Unfair PPQ......I read the post ( three times!) started a very serious and sympathetic reply, deleted said reply, was determined to ignore then Mama Bear replied.

                      Now call me overcaring but I was just concerned that she would look a bit pervy so I posted for the protection of her good name! HONEST :H:H

                      It has grown considerably due to all the attention, hasn't it?

                              Morning here from Kiwiland. Wishing all a great evening/morning. I am now 5 weeks sober (this time) and feeling good. Have heaps more energy and zing. Will be seeing an addiction specialist this week just for a check-in. I have a busy day ahead so must toodle off to the madness....
