    hiya tt ..bang their heads together!!appreciate its hard..but try and enjoy..here are you off to after Saturday?..keep

    and now its time to bring this to a close and bid you a fond farewell :H have a safe sane? and sober day.

    My wife looks no different now than she did on our wedding day, almost 27 years ago.


    Mouth full of cake.

    A single cow can make 400 hamburgers.

    That's amazing, they should hire them as cooks at McDonald's.

    Standing there with tears rolling down my face,I said to my wife,"Please Sam,for the love of God,I can't make it on my own."

    "Oh for f.ck sake Dave," she moaned, "It's just a cup of tea you moron."

    I advertised my garden shed in the local paper:
    "Cedar construction, 8' x 6', Perspex window, bitumen roof, wooden table included."
    The next day I got a phone call from a family of Bulgarians wanting to move in immediately.

    I just heard on the news that the pollen count in the area is going to be so high that the local drug dealers are converting meth back into Sudafed.

    The other day I found out tin foil can be washed then reused again.

    And also cuts your bum to ribbons.

    I got the sack today.

    Turns out the Five Second Rule doesn't apply when you drop a knife in the operating theatre.

    My mate Paddy called me today.

    "I've been trying to get my horse into its stable for over an hour now and it keeps refusing," he said, "Do you have any suggestions?"

    I said, "Have you tried the old trick of putting a blindfold on?"

    "Yes." he replied.

    "And what happened?" I asked.

    He said, "I walked into a fecking tree."

    Even as a child I knew my parents hated me.
    They used to give me my pocket money in travellers cheques

    During a recent operation I had an out of body experience.
    I saw myself hovering above the operating table, gazing down on this body which looked familiar but which I couldn't quite place, and all the time this warm, comforting feeling enveloped me.
    However, being a rational human being, I put it down to the drugs, pulled myself together and finished performing the appendectomy.

    Three Somalis are in a boat. Which one is the pirate?

    Just kidding. They all are.

    Children are still wearing nappies after the age of five in hundreds of schools across England. Anne-Marie Middleton, a head teacher from Dover, says pupils are too embarrassed to admit they still wear nappies,

    although the actual words she used were: "We go poo poo and wee wee now."

    Good morning Abbers!

    Dark & damp here today, flood watches up - no gardening for the rest of the week - ho hum!
    Not really complaining though seeing how the folks down in the southern states are dealing with the devastation of tornadoes. 24 people have lost their lives so far, terrible.

    Mick, I should get your friend to build me a robot that doesn't mind doing chicken chores in the rain :H
    I did get to Curves yesterday, not going today because I need to get the work done that I was supposed to do yesterday. My daughter & granddaughter showed up at lunchtime yesterday & threw me completely off track

    Greetings pauly, Det, PQ, SL, SF, Sam, TT & everyone!

    So why is your family unhappy in Hawaii TT? Remind them they are in paradise
    I hope things settle down today for you!

    Are you getting all this rain & the flood watches too Sam? Do your chickens know how to swim?? :H

    Wishing everyone a great AF Tuesday!

      MAE ALL....

      Mick...thank's for the kickstart and the brew. Weather slowly improving, going to get to 20 by Wednesday, then snow forecast for the weekend. The winter that never left.
      Contractor showed up and hopefully after the weekend can get the berm moved. Gardeners getting anxious for their in-ground plots.

      Lav...yup things can always be worse. Been watching the tornadoes on the news, talk about gratitude.

      TT...just concentrate on the things you can change, like how you react to their lethargy. Hopefully a good nights sleep will see the return of your coping skills, cause I know you have them. Here I found a couple of these...:angel:PPP:angel:

      Off to find another cuppa so have a great AF Tuesday all and all to come....PPQP

        hey ho all
        a rainy day and we got those same kind of warnings Lav.
        looks like a perfect day to replace 2 toilets at the office. My favorite. Nice tight space, the smell of urine, toilets that have been there since 1960. A shitty job but someone's got to do it.

        That's interesting Mick about your acorns, last year there were absolutely none here. Usually a walk in the woods in the fall was a good time to wear a helmet of some sort.

        PQ, you're right about the tornadoes, what a devastating thing. I am glad we haven't had one. About 10 years ago a couple hit around a buddy's house, left the house but all the tress around were a mangled mess. You literally had to cut your way around.
        I've got much better things to look forward to... Toilets here I come!!!

            Hi everyone!

            Sorry it haven't been consistent with dropping in. I have been dealing with some pain on my right side...and it's quite unpleasant. Anyway...

            I like to stop by and hear how everyone is doing and read Mick's jokes.

            I actually love rain cause we never get any where I am.. I'm glad I'm not fixing toilets today.
            Good luck Sam.

                Quick check in today - office day todayfollowed by a board (bored) meeting - won't get home till late:upset:. Last time got home to find girls trying to get their homework done as they watched too much TV - have read them riot act, and begged that I can trust them tonight!
                TT - I am so sorry that your family is putting the damper on your trip - can you leave them and go enjoy yourself? Bah humbug to them!!
                Sam - no fun, your yucky day might just be worse than my yucky day - don't think mine will smell that bad!
                Have a good one all...

                    well alright! got my toilets out and back in. Only one bolt dropped down the hole that I had to reach to get. I had to think a moment whether I wanted to or not.

                    Mick glad you weren't really tempted. Are you doing both methods, beer and pellets?.

                          Hidy Ho ABeroooos!

                          greetings from a hotel in Lodi CA which is famous as a vineyard/wine tasting town. I've crashed and burned in this town before, but not taking the bait on this trip. Had some nice chow at a funky little Greek restaurant and on my 4th bottle of water. feeling good!

                          Mick, good job not drinking the slug poison!

                          TTops, you ok today? hang tight xxxooo

                          Pauly, looking at the weather map it's got to be about a zillion degrees in Vegas now? that wind down there is so hot it's like opening up an oven. whew!

                          BKYogagurl, pain in your right abdomen? I used to have that a lot when drinking and then periodically for some time after i quit.

                          Lav, I'd love to come over for a potluck! that would be grand.

                          ok, going to make myself stop working for the day....time to wind down and get ready for another whacky day on the road.

                          be well peeps!

                              Quick check in - things are OK today. We had a great trip to the Volcanoes National Park. Did a 3 hour walk across an inactive crater - amazing. Thanks everyone here in my little MWO group for being there - I really appreciate it.
