    My wife is a big Tennis fan and was telling me how distracting she finds the constant grunting noises during the women's matches.

    I have promised her I will stop.

    I just saw that Gabby Logan will be hosting a show called "World's greatest female footballer", hopefully it will all go well for her and she could go on to host other hit shows such as "World's richest homeless man", and "World's tallest midget".

    I've got this t-shirt that can talk to the dead.

    It's a medium.

    During a fundraising dinner speech last night, Tony Blair is said to have commented said there is a 'shortage of common sense' right now in the UK ...

    at which point the people who paid ?5,000 a plate for their dinner applauded in agreement.

    Two Irishmen are riding horses and stop at an inn for the the night. When they stop, one of them trims a piece off the mane so that he knows which one was his. The other Irishman looks at it and says, "that's a good idea, I'll do that too."

    The next morning, they can't tell the difference between the two horses, so they ponder which one is whose and continue riding. They stop at another inn and one of them snips a bit off the tail of his horse so he can tell the difference between the two horses. The other one says, "that looks like a good idea, I'll do that too."

    The next day, they can't tell the difference between the two horses yet again, and ponder which horse belongs to who, and then give up and continue riding. At nightfall, they stop at another in, and one of them says, "I'll color the tips of my horse's ears blue so I know the difference between the two of them."

    The other says, "that sounds like a good idea, I'll do that too."

    The next morning when the wake up, they still can't tell the difference. Finally, one says, "you know what, I give up. How about this: you take the white one, I'll take the black one."

    More drama to come as Suarez gets Hungary in the next round. He was hoping for Turkey.

    Luis Suarez is to appear in the next Star Wars film.

    He'll play Chewbacca's brother, Chewshoulder.

    The waiter asked, "Would you like to hear today's special?"

    "Yes please," I smiled.

    "Today is special," he replied, then walked off.

    Just saw a pensioner do a tribute to the England team. Yep she got off the bus looked a bit confused and then got back on went home.

    Whoever said stress was the biggest killer has obviously never met my big f.ck off axe.

    Morning all!!
    looks to be a hot one today. Going to beat the bushes. Well today (hopefully anyway) after 4 years, my family is getting some sort of resolution to our jointly owned lands. The legal system is a maze of hoops set up to jump through. Lawyers designed it so they'd have job security!

    Mick, here's a shot of shitakes growing. The black bags are oyster mushrooms.



    stand at farmers's market:



    have a good one everybody. Hope all is well

      Good morning Abbers,

      Mick - you make the coffee & I'll make the mushroom omelets :H :H
      Very nice set up Sam, thanks for the pics!

      Why does it take so long to get someone to repair something? I've been trying for months to find someone to repair a small leak on my roof. Rain is leaking around some vent pipe that goes through the roof - the repair job is not huge or difficult
      Hope you get your window unit sorted out soon Mick. Maybe I can hire you to fix my roof!!!

      It is going to be one hot, humid day here too Sam. I imagine thunder storms will be rolling in later.

      I've had two days of grandson watching, my daughter & granddaughter stayed here overnight 7 I am worn out!!!!
      Going to Curves soon to get some rest :H

      Greetings PQ, Pauly, TT, Det, SL & everyone! Have a terrific AF Wednesday one & all!

      Lav
      AF since 03/26/09
      NF since 05/19/09
      Success comes one day at a time :thumbs:

            hidy-ho ABerooooos!!

            cheers for the lovely kickstart Mick

            busier than a one-legged man in an ass kicking contest here. had photographer over yesterday and our house is officially listed for market! let the games begin! it's been a mega stressful time for us but now we feel a weight is lifted for a bit and I'm trying to force myself to relax a bit. finally made it back to fencing last night and glad I did. Super grateful to be doing this AF.

            Lav, get a can of 'flex-seal' from the hardware store and have a neighbor kid get up on the roof and spray it around the pipes. it's really easy to do and should get you dry again.

            Sam, that's an impressive fungi operation you have. I was just talking with Dx about getting into growing gourmet shrooms as a possible cottage industry. any advice?

            greetings to Pauly and other fun folks to come....

            be well

              Reporting in, no Al was consumed, it was difficult though and I left early
              Thanks for the advice TT and Mick..
              But the worse thing is, I woke up this morning and feel like I have a hangover?? And I feel like shit!!
              Grrr, not fair but it could be because I'm exhausted ( school finishes to tomorrow ) and it's so hazy here, hard to breathe
              Have a good MAE everyone

                  Good on you Patrice for not drinking. I knew you could!!! :wd:
                  Yep, sometimes despite our new pure lifestyle:H :H we still feel like shit. You probably are exhausted.
                  Its at these times (i.e. when despite us being AF that we still feel yukky) that we are vulnerable. In the drinking days AL was an easy fix. So now when we feel bad (mentally/physically/both) we just have to soldier on and find other ways of dealing with it. Ultimately the AL won't help.

                  I am not feeling so flash myself today - very tired - too much work and people hassles, too much to do at home, lazy partner at home, daughter under mega-stress with NCEA assignments and both me and my daughter not getting enough sleep. And its cold and grey!
                  But I will get through it.
                  I have to!

                    also I know what you mean by the haze in parts of SE Asia and Asia - thats a killer for allergies and sinuses.

                      Yeah Pat!!! Way to go.:goodjob:
                      I am up for a mushroom omelette Lav, thank you - Sam they look delicious! Home grown eggs and homegrown shrooms - just what I need!
                      Yeah Det - glad things keep moving forward....
                      First time today I have managed to get on - one of those days!
                      Mick - yes, it is wine country - but I am so looking forward to teh lavendar side of things, I feel pretty confident - not too cocky mind, so hopefully all will be peachy! I am driving, so that will absolutely help. Also daughter #1 has taken this on - she reacted when we went out at the weekend and I had an AF beer - she read the label, and looked at me with a big smile. She then told me a friend had come to school crying as her dad was drunk, and told me she told all her friends that her mum didn't drink. I don't think I can drink with her around even if the evil spirit completely took me over....
                      Hi to TT and Pauly.....PPQ, hope all is good with you...

                        Read thru again - sorry you are feeling that way TT, and sorry that so much is going on (or not going on as the case maybe) - yes, you will get thru it - no choice, but as you are take a little time to do something nice for yourself as you keep on plowing on....:l:l

                          Yes, SL - my daughter is one of my biggest cheerleaders in the AF stakes. Its also great that I can be on call to drive the car for her at any time:H
                          I don't like AF beer - but then I never much liked beer anyway.
                          In fairness my partner is 100% behind my sobriety and he does do the night-driving if needed.
