Morning/afters/evening absters ? its Sat already! You lot seem very busy ? just remember to take care of yourself as well (yeah right ? famous last words as I am lousy at this sometimes).:l

?Tax headache?? ? thats a new disorder I must look up in the Psychiatric DSM! :H Actually I did a Google and the term was used by the Wall Street Jnl a couple of years ago to refer to CEOs. So you are are in 'rich company' Pauly!:H
The Morning Ledger: Tax Headaches in Emerging Markets - The CFO Report - WSJ
Better a tax headache than a hangover Pauly!

SL ? you wee beautie! 50 days ? could that be a new book ?Fifty Shades of Sobriety?? :H
Dreadful news about the bus crash ? can?t describe how sad that makes me feel.

Det ? you take care with the manic work you are doing around the house this weekend. Hope your mood lifts. I get the feeling you are either up or down? Am I right?

Hope you are looking after Julie, Mick. I am sure you are. Your garden is coming along really well.

SF ? any plans for Spring Break? We have a break here over Easter and high school holidays start end of next week. But I will be winging it to a much warmer place ? nearer to you too!

Lav ? did you finally get the Air Con. Installed? Yes, it is a full time job waiting doing any house repairs . Any plans for the weekend?

DTD ? Gidday fellow Southern Hemisphere-ite! Guess what news is everywhere over here these days ? the Oscar Pistorius trial. Its driving me insane. Seriously, I think it's the most coverage I have seen of a trial ? and that's in mainstream news too. Arragh!!!!:

Bear ? you stay calm and cool and determined this weekend. Any plans?

Sam ? how?s things? You have been a wee bit quieter than usual lately but I guess you are busy on the farm at this time of the year.

Oh well ? I better go. I can see the tide going out from my window. It's a really menacing looking sea today. So changeable ? I am lucky to have this view (especially since the neighbors finally cut their hedge).
Have a lovely Saturday and weekend all.

Whenever I see a woman driving a bus I smile and think about how far we as a society have come in equality.

And then I wait for the next bus.

Just been on Trip Advisor.

They recommend LSD and magic mushrooms.

I've spent five years studying beetles in Africa and I've made an astonishing discovery.

The Beatles never toured in Africa.

Dogs make the best pets because they behave just like humans.

Take this morning, for instance. I rolled around in my own crap for a while, then killed the neighbour's cat.

I came home from the pub really pissed last night and ended up dropping my phone in the toilet.

This may not sound like a big deal , but it was the one that was attached to the wall in my kitchen.

My scouse mate was inconsolable after his house burnt to the ground.

"Everything," he sobbed, "everything I ever stole was in that house."

My wife just went mental, packed my bags and throw me out. As I walked out the door she yelled, "I hope you die a long, slow, painful death."

So I turned round and said you want me to stay now?

Almost lost two teeth at teatime this evening.


The wife had done a Lego lamb.

Irony.

Having to buy another permanent marker,just so you can write your name on the one you bought previously..

The wife was complaining that she couldn't lose weight so I suggested she go to the gym for a week.
"Do you reckon a week will be enough to lose all this?" she asked.
"Of course", I replied, "once you get the bill for all the broken equipment you won't be able to afford any fecking cake."

MAE guys!

TT, the OP trial is wall-to-wall here - just cannot avoid it. We have our general elections in less than a month's time, and it get's very little media coverage, compared to the trial. Mind you, I don't know which one is worse!

Goeie more, Mick! Surprised you're still able to use a computer after that remark to Julie, Mick :H. Hope she's better soon. We're an hour ahead of you at the moment (if you remembered to change your clocks a while ago), so it's still morning. Slugs love beer, Mick (bit like us) - easy way to catch them, the disposal bit is slightly more gory, unfortunately.

Lovely day, all!

morning all,up early ready for amazing rollerderby spectating,need to dye hair and take a packed lunch with me to save pennies.I feel really bloated and full today from all the processed carbs.Taking yummy sandwiches with pate and cucumber,fruit and some naughty bits to munch.

I'll treat myself to coffee,a toastie for tea and a t shirt,there is a bar later in evening but from last year it literally sold 2 types of booze,not a problem this year!

I may hit the gym before tomorrow,I desperately feel in need of some sweaty exercise!
Can't believe my holiday is nearly over, but I have really relaxed and feel good for it, and there's three whole awesome days left too!

Hope you all have a great day,TT I need to get to the seaside soon to walk on the beach and listen to the waves.

Happy booze free Saturday everyone,I'm still admiring my freshly cleaned windows!!

Hey Mick & Co - doin' me rounds his morning.
Any food here ?

[porqoui]

af Saturday 12 April

MAE ALL...

Satz....good to see you. Hashbrowns, bacon and eggs coming right up.

TT...thanks for the kickoff. Can I have my coffee on the deck at your place. Listening to the waves is very relaxing for me.

Mick...good save that breakie in bed. Starting to feel a bit like my old self again so am on the right track.
We use the beer trick here for slugs. Just got to make sure you bury it enough so they can't crawl out once they've "jumped off the wagon". :H

DTD...I went mia when you moved onto the thread so have some catching up to do to get to know you. I don't mind the OP coverage as I don't have to watch Toronto's Rob Ford anymore. You have a lovely day too.

Just a light dusting of snow this morning but don't think I'll be taking Dad outside today anyways. Too bad because on Wed it was +20 and was looking forward to time outdoors. Off to make Satz some breakie. Have a great AF Saturday all and all to come.....PPQP

Good morning Abbers!

So TT - you live on the coastline! No wonder you wanted your neighbor to trim his hedges :H
The AC unit is all installed & ready to go. It's still coolish here & the heat is still on for now.

Yes Mick, I'm ready for that second cup of coffee, thanks
What's the rash about? Poor Julie, hope she improves today.
My plan is to haul myself to a plant farm in Lancaster county today & load up on some veggie plants for my eventual garden, some flowers for my deck pots & find a small shrubby type perennial to drop in the spot where the old AC unit sat. Fun times

Greetings SL, DTD, bear, satz & all the regulars!
I hope everyone has a great AF Saturday.
Hi there PQ!!

Afternoon all

SL, a belated congrats on 50 days and a present day congrats on 51!!

TT, yes been kinda of busy. Helping my son in his mushroom business, I helped with 2 markets last week. Been dragging and seeding pastures, fixing fences from this past winter's damage, and every once in a while been doing some survey work. We are still feeding, grass is slow in coming on but it has warmed up a bit here the last couple of days. And every once in awhile, gotta play that dang fiddle.
It sounds very nice where you live. Love the water.

Hope everyone is enjoying their day

Hey guys - I live near the sea - but not right on the shore! I can see it but I can't hear the waves. Too far away. Sorry.:upset:

PPQP - good to see you back. But with temps here of c 10 degree celsius I am not sitting outside (although that might be warm in your parts)!! I have the fire on already today.

Mick - I was worried when I read that Julie had a rash. That usually sends alarm bells to me - but you say she is getting better.

[scottish lass]

af Saturday 12 April

Still jealous of you TT - and nothing better than a good load of laundry blowing in the breeze:H
Many thanks Sam!
I am one of those goof yfolks who does not like breakfast in bed - can't stand crumbs in the sheets - just as well and it would never cross the girls minds to do that
In a grump d/t to the girls dad - how and why do I keep letting him get to me!!:upset:
