    Have you heard Smith & Wesson is making a pair of revolvers to commemorate the government shutdown? They will be called The Congressman and The Senator respectively. They don't actually do anything and you can't fire them.

    I called my boss and asked him "What's the difference between this morning and your daughter?" Just as he was about to reply I cut him off and said "I'm not coming in this morning."

    Paddy died in a fire and was burnt pretty badly. So the morgue needed someone to identify the body. His two best friends, Seamus and Sean, were sent for. Seamus went in and the mortician pulled back the sheet.
    Seamus said "Yup, he's burnt pretty bad. Roll him over".
    So the mortician rolled him over. Seamus looked and said "Nope, it ain't Paddy."
    The mortician thought that was rather strange and then he brought Sean in to identify the body.
    Sean took a look at him and said, "Yup, he's burnt real bad, roll him over."
    The mortician rolled him over and Sean looked down and said, "No, it ain't Paddy."
    The mortician asked, "How can you tell?"
    Sean said, "Well, Paddy had two arseholes."
    "What? He had two arseholes?" asked the mortician.
    "Yup, everyone knew he had two arseholes. Every time we went into town, folks would say, 'Here comes Paddy with them two arseholes... "

    The teacher is discussing U.S. presidents.
    "Who gave the Gettysburg Address?" she asked the class.
    Immediately a hand shot up belonging to a female Japanese foreign exchange student.
    "Yes?" the teacher asked.
    "Abraham Lincoln! 1863!" replied the girl proudly.
    "That's correct," said the teacher, "Now can anyone tell me who wrote the Declaration of Independence?"
    Again the Japanese girl's hand shot up. This time the teacher waited to see if anyone else knew the answer, but no one came forward. She called on the foreign exchange student again.
    "Thomas Jefferson! 1776!" said the girl proudly once again.
    The teacher addressed the rest of class and said "You should all be ashamed of yourselves. This little girl has been in the country for less than a month and she knows more about your history than you do."
    The class grumbled and mumbled, and excuses were pouring out as well as dissatisfaction. Then from the back of the room someone shouted "To hell with the Japanese!"
    The teacher now flustered and angry questioned "Who said that?"
    The japanese girl couldn't contain her excitement and shouted back "Harry Truman! 1945!"

    A man enters a barbershop for a shave. While the barber gets him lathered, he mentions he can't get a close shave on his cheeks.
    "I have just the thing" the barber takes a small wooden ball from a small drawer. "Just place this between your cheek and gum" The customer places the ball in his cheek and gets the closest shave he has ever experienced.
    After the shave, the customer asks in garbled speech "what if I swallow it?" "Not a problem" says the barber. "Just bring it back tomorrow like everyone else"


    by the way ..doesanyone know how to send an attachment in a pm? I aint got a clue..thanx

    morning everyone - Friday!!

    I have just caught up on yesterday's thread on stress - really interesting stuff - I agree that individualising causes of stress is missing the real issue. Anything I can do to help myself through though is a bonus - just got to be careful with my overdoing it tendancies that I don't HAVE TO get lavender oil/valerian/meditation cd/try to fit yoga in and breathing exercises - managing stress can stress me out!! ATM am on lavender oil at night,deep breathing when I remember and rescue remedy when needed.I know being AF will reduce it in a few weeks too.Trying to remember that I can't control what happens only how I react to it.

    Day 13 here - feeling clearer and starting to organise my nest, even tho i only binge drank at weekends - realising now that being hungover/tired knocked out the time where most people would exercise/clean and tidy/organise life and house.Feel like I am starting to look after myself,my surroundings and create a calmer life for myself.
    Happy Friday everyone, hope it's a good one.
    one day at a time

      Hi you all - been a curious day to say the least. Work issues crept up again but I think I have dealt with the human factor there. Upset me though. Weekend now but I will be writing as well as Mum the taxi-driver, Mum the cook, Mum the get-your bloody assignments done (yes, even in school holidays there is assessment to be done - yikes.... etc)....

      I'm with you Mick on the sushi front - (sorry Det) - just don't like the stuff at all. Well I have tried it - many times.
      Hope you are better Pauly - or at least feeling a bit better.
      You be careful Bear - you know I am watching you with my Kiwi beak. Weekends and all that.
      Yah - yes, lots of money to be made in the de-stress business and as you know there are some real charlatans out there.
      here's a wee laugh - when I once saw a counsellor in 1979 after my marriage broke up - he suggested I beat up the many brightly coloured and neatly arranged cushions in his stupid room. This was to let out anger I suppose. You see I was very very depressed and confused about why my husband had left me - when he said he still loved me (yes we all know now - the toad was a cheating bast__d who was living with another woman AND had been bonking here for well over a year). The counsellor said it was my problem because I was too uptight to beat up the cushions. :H
      Folks I am not uptight and I never have been. Sometimes a cushion is a cushion :H

      That was a long digression.
      OK how are you Sam? SF? Det? Lav?
      Nice to see you Blondie and enjoy your break.
      See afm - we are quite mad here.

      I better go and check to see if Madam is doing her assignment. I am threatening to turn off the internet but first I have to finish with it

      See you tomorrow - have a good sober Friday

        Good morning Abbers!

        Reporting in from stink bug headquarters. I removed 130 of the little stinkers from my house yesterday - gross I see a few have already moved in this morning, great!

        Thanks for the coffee Mick - need lots of it to energize myself for stink bug removal :H
        I'll probably being seeing some tropical rains moving in here late Sunday & Monday. Maybe the rain will drown the rest of the bugs :H

        bear, great on 13 AF days!
        There's a lot to be said for simply slowing down & taking some deep cleansing breaths. I do it all the time

        TT, keeping a teenager focused is hard work, don't you think? It certainly is a full time job :H
        Punching pillows is not my style - throwing his stuff out of the house is more my style :H
        Come to think of it today is YB's birthday. Hmmm, better think of something.

        Greetings to everyone else, wishing a great AF Friday for all.
        Lav
        AF since 03/26/09

        Success comes one day at a time :thumbs:

              :H OMG. I needed a laugh! Thanks Lav. Happy birthday to your 'YB'. hahaha Once husband, now YB.

              Good morning all! It is Friday! I am just wiped out. Getting Little AFM busy has made me tired. Took her to school early today, they had a pancake breaky going on. I did not stay. (I am so anti-social these days). Then she has her afterschool program, then the PAC is having a movie night at the school. SO not into all of this 'ra ra, school shit' at the moment. Did the 'Terry Fox' annual run with her last Friday there. Always something. I kind of like hiding out in my cave these days. BUT, I do it to make her happy. :thanks:

              Today, I am going to putter around the house. I have been off work for 2 years now. I think I need to figure some stuff out and maybe get a part time job at least. The Breast Cancer seems to be in good remission, and I feel healthy and BORED. So, I will start surfing around and check what is out there in the big bad world.

              I hope you all have a wonderful day. I took another antabuse last night. Just as a safe guard for me. So sad that I have to rely on it AGAIN, but whatever works. I am so complacent these days, I don't trust myself even though I DO NOT WANT TO DRINK!

              Have a good one. xo

                Aloha Friday ABeroooooos!

                AFM, hooray for beating the cancer!

                Bear, just going for a walk and thinking only of 'not thinking' or perhaps just concentrate on your breathing, or on a positive affirmation can be a wonderful moving meditation that helps to clear the mind of clutter.

                sushi was great! good to see some creative things on the menu. my fishing buddies say it's like going out to eat bait. hahahahahaa!

                Sun, to answer about my Mom, yes I've forgiven both parents and so pleased to enjoy loving relationships with both of them now.

                Mick, where can I got those commemorative S&W revolvers?

                had a nice lunch today with an old friend (frog legs!)

                and now finishing up work so I can hike/shoot with friends tomorrow even though it's going to be below freezing in the am. I'm not ready for winter! oh well.

                wishing you all a soberific weekend

                be well
