My wife wrote an email to me saying she was concerned that we have communication issues. I immediately sent an IM asking her to clarify. She messaged me on Facebook saying not to worry but that sometimes we're not as connected as she'd like. I tweeted her that I love her more than anything. She texted me that she loves me too and was tired after a long day of work.

So I leaned over and kissed her good night.

The England players are saying they need to play less football.

They did. In the world cup.

I bumped into one of my old school friends the other day.

She's got poor eyesight as well.

I was going to apply for the job of setting up our local running track. But there were way to many hurdles.

A new study reveals that 2 in 1 people suffer from schizophrenia

My missus says you are what you eat.

Well that's odd. Because I don't remember seeing her eating a f.cking beached whale.

At times Facebook is like looking in your fridge, you open it up in hopes to find something that's new and exciting.....yet end up seeing the same stuff over and over again.

My mum is worried about Tibbles. She has just heard about the new khat ban.

ITV commentator: 'The Columbian goalkeeper has lost track of his goal'.

Isn't it the big f.cking white thing, right behind him?

I want you to know that someone out there cares.
Not me, but someone does

How does NASA prioritise the search for new moons and stars?

Good Morning Mick....and yes I am surprised. :H Had a great visit with Dad today. Have been dealing with family sh*t (not my own family, everything's fine with me) so as it's 2:00am I'm heading to bed. Just thought I'd see if the thread was started and there you were. Will read your post with my morning coffee whenever that is....PPQP

Hi Mick - take care with that tendon. Very tired here and work is not letting up. But I will survive. My daughter's thing was sort of like a prom but its not such a big deal at the school she goes to. But its the full works, dress make-up, hair, - her boyfriend even gave her a corsage, Tonight though she is doing homework!
I'll pop in tomorrow - my eyes are on stalks at the mount!::H

Good morning Abbers

Looks like another decent weather day today - yay!
I will play outside again as much as possible. I harvested a big bunch of beets from my garden yesterday, roasted them with a little olive oil, salt & pepper, yum!!!

Mick, I don't/won't/can't run anymore :H
Hope your injury heals quickly. Sounds like your girls are on a real shopping mission - look out :H

Hey PQ, sorry about the family woes. I have pretty much extracted myself from the extended family BS. I gave & gave to all them & never got a nod in return. They are on their own now & I am as well
Glad to hear your visit with Dad was a good one!

TT, those years with the kid's formals went by fast. Enjoy it all while you can!!!
Don't let work bog you down - come up for air every few hours, OK?

Wishing everyone a fabulous AF Sunday!!!

SUNDAY29TH JUNE

Mornin all!!
good night sleep but ohohoh my back, Mick, I'm joining you in the walking wounded. Getting better since prying myself out of bed.

Mick, I'll never forget playing basketball one evening (pick up game) and a teammate was running down the court, let out a little curse, fell to the floor, and hollered who in the hell kicked from behind. His dern achilles tendon had torn and nobody was within 5 miles of him. Since then, I've always had great respect for that vital tendon, do be cautious!

TT, sounds as if your daughter is really looking forward to the event. She should have a great time!

PQ, families certainly can be difficult at times, putting mildly, they can actually be a pain in the arse! Some of them can be kind, prefer the latter! Hope you have a good one

Lav, cleaning the 2nd chicken house today, once my back fully wakes up! Need to take a peak into the bees today, soon it is their tax time... honey tax that is. They are really out there buzzing the myrtle bushes/tress. We have a linden (basswood) tree they really worked too.

off to my second cup, looks like a great day to enjoy.
hello to all
Sam

Yes Pauly you are right on that one! We all have to use the loo. :H
Sam - daughter had her formal on Saturday night. It went really well. No dramas. Homework last night finished at 1am but she gets holidays next week.

I used to run a lot but when my body changed shape with pregnancy I stopped. Try to walk as much as possible. I was one of those people that got a runners high. It used to be like a drug for me (I still drank AL afterwards though)

SUNDAY29TH JUNE

Yup Mick - have to walk, no running anymore for me - it hurts!!!
Went to wine country - lavendar festival was not what I hoped for, very commercial - very expensive and terribly hot! Did not last long...took girls thru wine country to try and make it a day out - remembered a winery that had a cable ride up the hill to see all the valley (from my wine connoisseur days) - so went - had to pay for a tasting to ride the cable car, told myself I could manage just one taste - but I didn't....I really didn't OMG - I am so proud!!!! Saw so many places with so many memories and didn't drink!!!!
I actually found a lovely subsitute that is starting up - not sold in many places, but for AF wine it was very nice - VIGNETTE wine soda.
So day out not what I wanted, but I feel so dang great this evening!!

SUNDAY29TH JUNE

well done SL but are you sure its called vignette? Wouldn't it be voignier?

Sometimes those festivals are not the same when you revisit them.

I think its imperative not to even try a taste - its just not worth it. Anyway the people selling the wine talk a load of rubbish IMO. I once managed a wine shop and boy, could I spin a tale or two for a sale!

Happy Sunday ABeroooos!

oy Mick tendon trouble can take ages to heal, hope it's not too bad.

Scottish Lass, so proud of you for resisting the evil AL in such a slippery place!

forced myself to relax this weekend (can't be in the house anyway with the agent showing the property). so got in a good hard fencing class on Sat and hiking/shooting today for the first time in months. feeling great! did fall off the paleo bandwagon with a small gelato yesterday but I can deal with that.

I'm not a runner either. just found it boring and too bouncy on my joints. I have plenty of other ways to hurt myself though

be well everyone

Yep TT - that is not the varietal...they have three types - chardonnay, pinot noir and rose.


"VIGNETTE? Wine Country Soda? is the uniquely

sophisticated non-alcoholic beverage sweetened

only with the juice of California varietal wine grapes"

Det - a small gelato is a good reward for what you have faced this weekend - any offers??

SUNDAY29TH JUNE

Checking in. I have had a few issues logging in or the site loading. All is good in SF land. Lots of self care....rest and yoga. Also, loving and practicing all the new stuff I have learned for working with people with various conditions using theraputic yoga. I am working with a girlfriend who has MS and she is already seeing positive results. I have also started a sleep program with my boys....it has done wonders! They go to sleep on time, wake up refreshed and not cranky. They actually do the things I ask them to do....when I ask them. One night I was tired and wanted to skip the nighttime ritual. They both were admanant that they were getting their sleep therapy session!

I've been on a couple of interviews. I really need to stop wasting my time with that and focus on building what I want. Companies these days have no common sense. I went to one out of curiosity because they have a rather bad reputation in the market. They bragged that they had employees who had been with the company a whole 6 years.....I had the WTF look on my face. They made the job sound miserable, but they do have a ping pong table All I could imagine was me beating someone to death with a ping pong paddle

Glad to see everyone is well and life is rolling along without booze.
