Congratulations all around!

Mick, it has been wonderful to get to know you on this thread. You are such a patriarch, and yet have this great playful side. I love the bunnies! Thank you for making the time to make us all feel special.

Kuya, you have helped me so much in the nest. And you've patiently reminded me of things I forget. I hope your giving comes to back to you with renewed strength.

Hi, TDN looking forward to getting to know you.

Det, I tried to find you in Chat, but no luck.

Now, on the lighter side, .................

NINE WORDS WOMEN USE


(1) Fine: This is the word women use to end an argument when they are
right and you need to shut up.

(2) Five Minutes: If she is getting dressed, this means a half an hour.
Five minutes is only five minutes if you have just been given five more
minutes to watch the game before helping around the house.

(3) Nothing: This is the calm before the storm. This means something,
and you should be on your toes. Arguments that begin with nothing usually
end in fine.

(4) Go Ahead: This is a dare, not permission. Don't Do It!

(5) Loud Sigh: This is actually a word, but is a non-verbal statement
often misunderstood by men. A loud sigh means she thinks you are an idiot
and wonders why she is wasting her time standing here and arguing with you
about nothing. (Refer back to # 3 for the meaning of nothing)

(6) That's Okay: This is one of the most dangerous statements a woman
can make to a man. That's okay means she wants to think long and hard before
deciding how and when you will pay for your mistake.

(7) Thanks: A woman is thanking you, do not question, or faint. Just
say you're welcome. (I want to add in a clause here - This is true, unless
she says 'Thanks a lot' - that is PURE sarcasm and she is not thanking you
at all. DO NOT say 'you're welcome?, that will bring on a 'whatever')

(8) Whatever : Is a woman's way of saying GO TO HELL.

(9) Don't worry about it, I got it : Another dangerous statement, meaning
this is something that a woman has told a man to do several times, but is
now doing it herself. This will later result in a man asking 'What's wrong?'
For the woman's response refer to # 3.

Send this to the men you know, to warn them about arguments they can
avoid if they remember the terminology.

Mum, Can I have a dog for Christmas ?
No you can have turkey like everyone else

We had grandma for Christmas dinner ?
Really, we had turkey !


Did you hear about the Irish turkey?
It was looking forward to Christmas!

A Christmas thought:
STRESSED is just DESSERTS spelled backward.


A young woman asks her mother, "Mom, how many kind of penises are there?"

The mother, surprised, answers, "Well, daughter, a man goes through three phases. In a man's twenties, a man's penis is like an oak, mighty and hard. In his thirties and forties, it is like a birch, flexible but reliable. After his fifties, it is like a Christmas tree."

"A Christmas tree?" the young woman asks.

"Yes, dried up and the balls are there for decoration only."

On Christmas morning a cop on horseback is sitting at a traffic light, and next to him is a kid on his brand new bike. The cop says to the kid, "Nice bike you got there. Did Santa bring that to you?" The kid says, "Yeah."

The cop says, "Well, next year tell Santa to put a tail-light on that bike." The cop then proceeds to issue the kid a $20.00 bicycle safety violation ticket.

The kid takes the ticket and before the cop rides off says, "By the way, that's a nice horse you got there. Did Santa bring that to you?" Humoring the kid, the cop says, "Yeah, he sure did."

The kid says, "Well, next year tell Santa to put the dick underneath the horse, instead of on top."

Good morning to all!

Feels good to be back posting early a.m. as I used to. I like to get up early, even though it is quite dark--and cold--at 5:00 a.m.! But when I woke up today, I actually felt like I had a hangover and for a quick moment, I had to think about it. I know all about PAWS, and imagine it is probably due to that.

Mick, I love all your jokes! And having been a teacher for many years, I can appreciate the excuse note joke

I don't know why I feel stronger this time. Maybe it has finally sunken in that drinking only makes everything worse. I don't want to go into my story--it's all in my older posts--but am hoping to get my license back in three weeks, but it is slow going and something I'd usually drink over. I'll have to have an Interlock device on my car for a year, but I am actually looking at this as a good thing.

Also, I take a number of vitamins and supplements, although the L-Glut seems to make me feel odd. I take the Amoryn Lav had recommended, and swear that that has helped a lot. I also have the Serodyn for anxiety, but haven't needed to take it since I went AF last week. There is alsosomething called Extend--I have the shakes you mix up--and it helps level out your blood sugar, is high in protein, and is supposed to reduce hunger. Try for one of those almost every day. I had originally bought it for my husband, ho is pre-diabetic, but he doesn't take it, so I do.

I am grateful to have to part time jobs: one I do from home, mostly in my "spare" time, and the second is in a friend's flower shop a few days a week. It is very busy now, and very festive, and I am learning a lot.

I wonder about Shue (although see posts on FB), LillyE, Blondie, and others who used to be "regulars" here. Hope to see them back.

Well. I hope everyone has a great AF day, and I iwill be back tonight. Need to read the other threads and do some work!

Molls ....... You ain't missed much.......bionic Cantoo has developed more muscle than should be allowed, Catbuddy has joined in with a worse line in jokes than Mick ( if that is possible), Treetops is probably wondering what the hell she signed up to,

Other than that ......nowt!

And our most recent masochist for mental mayhem has just logged in! Hi TDN ...... Run while you still can !
