    A man walks into a library and asks for a book on poor customer service.

    "Go f.ck yourself" says the librarian.

    I'm so sick of immigration in this country that I'm seriously considering emigrating.

    Just dug out my 1986 calendar!

    January 1st reads: Try and lose this acne, get a girlfriend, lose virginity, move out of mum and dad's house.

    Quite sad I don't need to change anything.

    There was a knock on my door and when I opened it a councillor was outside.

    She said, "Do you like tents?"

    "No," I replied. "Why?"

    "Well," she said. "We're canvassing the whole area."

    A recent survey has shown that 99% of British men will tell you to f.ck off if you try and ask them questions.

    January 31st begins the Chinese year of the horse.

    Just be careful of the Tesco special edition burger.

    A Palestinian ambassador was killed when he opened a safe and it exploded.

    If that's their safe, I'd hate to see their dangerous!

    Just finished playing a game of Cluedo with the wife.

    It was me, in the dining room, with a baseball bat, after she kept on about winning the sodding game.

    I bought an acoustic guitar for the wife.

    She said, "But I can't play."

    I said, "Well, you had better learn because I'm kicking you out."

    I noticed today that there is due to be a special 2 part documentary on next week about the lives of Siamese Twins.

    It's going to be a Doubleheader.

    A man walks into his hotel's lift. The operator asks, "Which floor son?"
    "17th" replies the man.
    "No problem son" says the operator.
    As they approached the 17th floor the operator said, "Enjoy the rest of your stay son"
    "Why do you keep calling me son?!" asks the man.

    "Well, I brought you up didn't I?" replies the Operator.

              Happy New Year - I am doing a sober January - I can't commit to more than that without ruminating do I don't I have a problem, do I REALLY need to stop etc,
              So, enough of that BS that keeps me tangled,ruminating and losing focus from living my life - I can't get a resolution to it so I am ignoring it. Focusing on a month's sobriety.
              Off to do washing up.dye hair and pop to Primark for cheap jogging bottoms - doing a bootcamp where we train 3-4 times a week and need an extra pair to keep up with the pace!
              Wishing you all a happy and peaceful 2014.

                Morning, FABs and FABettes!

                'Tis -29C outside. Aside from feeding critters, I can't think of anything that would make me go out today

                So, everyone has survived the festivities, then? Very well. We have 11 1/2 months to recover now :H

                Must be off... I think this is a real work day today. Ho-hummm.
                Okay, WHO put a stop payment on my reality check?

                  Good morning Abbers,

                  I am not so joyfully sitting at my son's house this morning, last minute baby sitting thing, oh well! The good thing is I should be done by noon when the regular sitter arrives :H

                  Mick, Lancaster County is actually fairly hilly but the Amish farmers look for flatter land for their farms, obviously. We enjoyed our traditional dinner last night along with some fresh green beans of course
                  It is cold here & the sky looks like it's just full of snow waiting to fall. Hope to be home & off the roads before all that begins.

                  Hi the DD, satz & bear!

                  PQ, sure hope you have defeated the flu!
                  I made sure to get a flu shot in early November, hope it works

                  OK, back to watching two crazy little boys & throw at least one of these crazy golden retrievers outside for a while! Can't stand all the commotion :H

                  Will check in later. Have a fabulous AF Thursday one & all.

                      Hello Everyone,
                      Sun- you must be on the East coast, we are at 8C right now in Calgary. It is awesome!! Of course, we are going to cool right down tomorrow and by Sunday we are looking at the low 20's. Gross!

                      Lav, enjoy those little fellas! We used to have a Golden, they are either crazy or old. Never just normal!
                      Mick, some of your jokes made me laught out loud today. Canvassing British men! Lol.

                      Hello, Satz, DD, Bear- great you are going for 30 days, and still as active as usual.

                      Mick, I walked to work and did yoga today, walking back home after work...that should be about -5 lbs eh? Oh yeah, I did eat lunch...

                      Have a Great Sober Thursday Everyone,

                        MAE ALL...

                        Mick...thanks for kicking us off. I have a question for you. Have you ever forgotten to pack something and voila...Julie has it? Just wondering.
                        The wedding was wonderful, very non traditional. It was held at the Aero Space Museum so the vows were said among the many aircraft and helicopters. No chance of getting board at this wedding. We were all supplied with party favors for the NY Countdown. I actually danced my way into 2014. Everything done and dusted and I don't have to show up for work till the 6th.

                        DD...congrats on day 6. If Nelz is around tomorrow you might even get a "1 week" star. Keep up the great work.

                        Satz...great to see you, HNY. How's life in the army?

                        Bear...I think that is an excellent goal. Ignore away. The exercising will help immensely.

                        SS...when I read your post I was thinking it was from Narilly. Was wondering what part of Calgary she's living in! lol After this gorges +8 sunny day we're back to -20 on Sunday.

                        Lav...thanks and yes I managed to defeat it in time to have a wonderful nye. Am rethinking the flu shot (have never had one). Sounds like Alberta is on the brink of an epidemic with most cases being the H1N1 strain. I think it's the only responsible thing to do as I spend all day with kids and seniors. Hope you find some me time.

                        Narilly...what a great day eh? It makes putting up with the -20's bearable. Could never live in Edmonton as they don't get the chinooks. Have a great day.

                        Got the house stocked full of food and am going to enjoy watching the snow hit tomorrow as I don't have to go anywhere. Have a great AF Thur (had to look and see what day it was lol) all and all to come.....PPQP

                          hidy ho ABeroooooos!

                          a very fine AF'ing day indeed. Dx and I snuck out to the mineral hot springs and hade a loverly soak.

                          Bear, while enjoying this month of sobriety why don't you make two lists and put them on the wall. one with all the benefits you can enjoy from an AF life, and one of all the things that can (and eventually WILL) happen if you continue to drink. it's helped me....

                          thanks for the kickstart Mick, enjoy that swim!

                          be well everyone

                              Hello to everyone - once again

                              PQ, a yearly flu shot is recommended once you turn 50 and/or for anyone with a chronic condition (of any sort). The last time I had the flu I was nearly 45ish & it put me out of commission for a whole week. Yeah, my employer was not happy

                              It started snowing here about 3 hours ago & is supposed to continue all night - oh boy!!!
