    What is the cheapest kind of meat you can buy?

    Deer balls, they're under a buck.

    This church just lost there bell ringer and needed someone to ring the bell for them. They were holding auditions when a man with no arms came up to them and asked about the job. The priest asked the man " How are you going to ring the bell without any arms?" to which the man replied with " Like this." The man ran up to the top of the church and hit the bell with his face to make it ring. when he came down the priest said " Well I guess you got the job." Over the years the man kept ringing the bell by hitting his face against the bell and causing it to ring, while, however, causing the man to be off balance. One day he went up to the bell, rung it again then slipped off the roof and landed hard onto the asphalt, killing him instantly. Two people found him dead in the parking lot, one asked the other " You know him?" to which the other said " Not really, but the face sure rings a bell."

    Two cows are standing in a field

    ...and one says to the other, "Say, are you worried about this mad cow disease going around?" And the other one says, "Why should I care? I'm a helicopter! PFFFFFT!"

    Why was old Bilbo's body found with a massive erection?

    Because old hobbits die hard.

    Two women are talking and the conversation veers towards work..

    One of them says to the other:
    "Work is great! The jobs are challenging, my coworkers are supportive and the pay is phenomenal. But there is one problem. The mail boy is constantly flirting with me and its borderline harrasment now."
    "Well, what did he say?"
    "Its just the one thing, everytime he passes by me he compliments me on how wonderful my hair smells."
    "That doesnt sound too bad."
    "Yeah, but hes a dwarf!"

    Have you heard what scientists are saying about Pluto?

    Apparently he's too small to be a dog.

    A married couple are having a fight.

    Finally the wife screams at the husband to get out of the house. She throws his suitcases at him and he packs his things. On his way out, the woman says, "I hope you die the slowest, most miserable, most agonizing death imaginable." So he turns and says, " What, so now you want me to stay?"

    Greetings from the underworld - nice and hot down here (especially with the heater on). Have a pile of reading to do tonight - no rest for the wicked ay:devil:

    Have never got into Downtown Abbey but did watch Mr Selfridge (mainly for the clothes) - but the acting was shite IMO.

    Confession - I love watching 'Bones'!!

            LOL, I love your banter, Mick and TT. I hope you both are having wonderful AF days/nights, or whatever the heck time of day (or whatever day, in fact) it is for you. I have not yet gotten into Downton Abbey, but I know I will get into it, so I imagine it will be one that I buy on DVD and spend whole days watching. Right now it is football season, so that is what I spend my Sundays doing. I also write case notes then, so I can pretend to be productive as well.

            I fear today is going to be about me, me, me, so bear with me, please. I'm feeling stressed.

            I'm having lots of applications to do for various Employee Assistance Programs, which should be easy, since they all want the same information, but organization isn't my strongest suit, and I just am feeling overwhelmed. I also got a letter from a lawyer over the weekend asking for information from a suicidal client I had briefly treated two years ago who had gone into intensive outpatient but completed suicide before he returned to treatment with me. I feel very bad for his widow, and it wasn't on my watch, so to speak, but it is making me quite anxious.

            Lastly, there is more family drama in New York, concerning my sister and her divorce, and the fact that my niece (16) is very unhappy living with her. Apparently there was a big bruhaha on Saturday that involved the police being called, and my oldest niece (the new mother) would be charged with kidnapping if the youngest went to spend the night with her to escape the fracas. Apparently my sister doesn't know the value of a cooling off period.

            My other sister called me at 6:15 am to share this happy news. I got pissed off and thought about buying some cigarettes, but I didn't. I went back to sleep. Only now did I think that I could have thought of drinking, but I didn't. I'm glad of that.

            Anyway, I am an unhappy YahYah this morning, but I've got paperwork to do, and that will keep me busy. Keeping my life running as smoothly as possible will be the best thing. I hope this shite is sorted out somewhat by Thanksgiving, or I might end up staying here again.

            Anyway, hi to Lav, Cinders, SF, Sam, PPQP, and all the gang.

            Welcome, Daya. See what you're getting into?

            :l

              how do all
              TT, fact is this is exactly what this ol tired alkie needs, a bit of humor won't do me any harm.
              Mick, my day is court for my accident of a month ago, hoping for a reduced fine. Thinking I better clean up a bit for the judge, no bibs today!
              hope all are doing well. Check in this evening if I'm not in stripes.

                  Hey YahYah
                  I missed your previous post somehow. Your job sounds very intense! As does the family situation. The things we all have to weather, eh? Glad to be here though, in the moment and AF. May be a hell of lot poorer this afternoon, though, yet relieved that the waiting will be over.

                    Afternoon greetings Abbers,

                    I survived my morning! Had the boys both dressed & fed & the golden retrievers under control all before 9 am :H I was in no mood for taking prisoners this morning. My son arrived home from work shortly after that & took off to go to Curves

                    TT, hope your day went well & you are caught up with your reading. I've watched Downton Abbey but don't think I'm hooked on it liked the rest of the world

                    Mick, I watched 3 deer prance across the road in front of me at 7 am - looked like a ballet, glad I was awake!!!! They seem to be very active this time of year.
                    Feels cool here, I'm enjoying the weather.

                    YahYah, geez, when it rains it pours, huh?
                    Lots of deep breaths are in order for you today. We all know from previous experience that smoking & drinking doesn't make anything better, just makes us sick & addicted
                    I'm curious about the lawyer looking for information - who is he working for? Insurance company? What happens to HIPAA rules when a patient commits suicide? Are you permitted to release information to anyone after the fact? That whole thing would produce anxiety in me as well. Sorry you have to deal with that.
                    Sorry your niece is involved in an unhappy situation. It's hard enough just being a teenager. I wonder if she could stay with a friend for a while until things settle down. Sounds like your sister needs some time to chill

                    Sam, good luck to you today & I hope it doesn't get too expensive. Remember, we are here to listen in case you feel the need to scream a little!

                    I need to update my baby chick pics - they are growing so fast! They've been thru nearly 15 lbs of feed already & gallons of vitamin water. They have about tripled in size in just two weeks!

                    Greetings Pauly, glad your weekend turned out good.

                    I'll be back later with a chick pic!

                      Lav - I sped read this morning and thought you said you dressed and fed the grandsons to the golden retrievers! Of course not.

                      YahYah - as Lav says - deep breaths. You are not responsible and as Lav, says it sounds like the lawyer might be fishing. Hard for me to understand the US law though.
                      I do know that at the personal level, we workers do agonise about who was responsible for what (in retrospect) - and while this is important - I think its also important to deal with our present-day situations as well. If you can understand what I mean.

                      Sam - hope the day in court is not too horrible. You will have to bite the bullet and move on. You are doing really well. Humor comes easily to us Celtic Scots types - as we have so much mist and gloom in our heritage (I am not Scottish now but my ancestry is).

                      Its actually the 24 Sept today here and I have a load of writing to do. All that is on the news is the Americas Cup - although there is quite a lot about the awful Kenyan siege in the mall. I used to shop there decades ago.

                        Thanks for the support, guys. Personally, I don't feel responsible at all. I think the wife is probably trying to sue to outpatient program for releasing her husband. IMO he was a ticking time bomb, and I thanked God that he was not technically under my care when he killed himself. I kept very scrupulous notes given that I considered him a very high risk for suicide. It's just that we live in such a litigious society. You never know who the heck is going to try to sue you.

                        My crazy sister is apparently on a rampage. Mad as hell and has forbidden my youngest niece to speak to just about everyone on the planet. It's really sad. Doesn't she realize that her kids are not going to forget this crap? None of her kids wants anything to do with her. I'm glad that I live far away.

                        Anyway, I've taken lots of deep breaths and seeing my regular clients has been calming. I really do love my work. Thanks you all so much. It is so nice to be able to put my troubles out there and know I can come back later and get some feedback/support. It means a lot.

                          Hello all
                          well I'm not in stripes and busting rocks, but I am a little poorer. By the time the dust settled, got away with a non-moving violation, no insurance points, but they doubled the fine.(bastards) Is this only the American way or does auto insurance rates jump on you all in other areas other than the States for traffic incidents?

                          Glad it is over, now on to the insurance game, who covers the damages. All in good time, I'm sure.

                          This being totally AF has really help me remain calmer than if not, this I know for sure!

                          Any way all this seems pretty insignificant after reading your posts there YahYah

                            The golden retrievers definitely follow the kids around, picking up any cookie crumbs they can get but they won't eat the kids TT :H :H

                            YahYah, glad you are OK tonight!
                            Boy oh boy do I remember the anxiety produced when a hospital patient would start talking law suit over some (usually) imagined mistreatment. That was crazy shit & I don't miss it one bit. Actually YB was subject to a lot of that in the PD too ~ it's a wonder we survived as well as we did

                            Sam, glad to see you are still a free man
                            I wish you luck in dealing with the car insurance gods. Even under the best of circumstances paying insurance premiums is painful. Be proud of your AF'ness - this whole thing could have been much worse.

                              an extremely busy time and it's just getting busier. home tonight for once (yay) then back on the road tomorrow. really getting ground down and doing everything to stay strong in the AL fight. thankfully I've been eating really clean and am adamant about continuing that on the road which is a big challenge. it's truly worth it though.

                              Sam, sorry to hear of the woes. as Lav says at least your a free man. As a libertarian at heart I'd love to see about a 90% reduction in red tape and bureaucracy. boy am I dreaming! oh well.

                              be well everyone
