    right peeps time to get things organised..so will see you all later..have a grand day

    A man left for work one Friday afternoon. But, being pay-day, instead of going home, he stayed out the entire weekend partying with the boys and spending his entire pay check.

    When he finally appeared at home, Sunday night, he was confronted by a very angry wife and was barraged for nearly two hours with a tirade befitting his actions. Finally his wife stopped the nagging and simply said to him.

    ?How would you like it if you didn?t see me for two or three days?? To which he replied. ?That would be fine with me.?

    Monday went by and he didn?t see his wife. Tuesday and Wednesday came and went with the same results. But on Thursday, the swelling went down just enough where he could see her a little out of the corner of his left eye.br />
    A man was sued by a woman for defamation of character. She charged that he had called her a pig. The man was found guilty and fined. After the trial he asked the judge, ?This means that I cannot call Mrs. Johnson a pig??

    The judge said that was true. ?Does this mean I cannot call a pig Mrs. Johnson?? the man asked.

    The judge replied that he could indeed call a pig Mrs. Johnson with no fear of legal action.

    The man looked directly at Mrs. Johnson and said, ?Good afternoon, Mrs. Johnson.?

    A young boy walked up to his father and asked, ?Dad, does a lawyer ever tell the truth??

    The father thought for a moment. ?Yes, son. Sometimes a lawyer will do anything to win a case.?

    ?The job notice posted at the Memphis State University placement office advertised for someone to set up a bookkeeping system for a local dinner theater that was filing for bankruptcy. When an eager first-year accounting student inquired, the interviewer told him that the company needed an advanced student capable of handling Chapter 11 proceedings. ??I?m sure I could do it,?" the student proclaimed confidently. ??My class is already up to chapter fourteen.?

    The psychology instructor had just finished a lecture on mental health and was giving an oral test.

    Speaking about a specific condition, she asked, ?How would you diagnose a patient who walks back and forth screaming at the top of his lungs one minute, then sits in a chair weeping uncontrollably the next??

    A young man in the rear raised his hand and answered, ?A basketball coach??

    A blonde was trying to sell her old car. She was having a lot of problems selling it, because the car had almost 230,000 miles on it.

    One day, she told her problem to a brunette she worked with at a salon. The brunette told her, ?There is a possibility to make the car easier to sell, but it?s not legal.?

    ?That doesn?t matter,? replied the blonde, ?if I can only sell the car.?

    ?Okay,? said the brunette. ?Here is the address of a friend of mine. He owns a car repair shop. Tell him I sent you and he will ?fix it?. Then you shouldn?t have a problem anymore trying to sell your car.?

    The following weekend, the blonde made the trip to the mechanic. About one month after that, the brunette asked the blonde, ?Did you sell your car??

    ?No,? replied the blonde, ?Why should I? It only has 50,000 miles on it!?

    It was a celebratory mood with the boys at NASA; they had just made the scientific achievement of a lifetime.

    As they were uncorking a bottle of champagne, Dr. Lowenstein, the head scientist at NASA, asked everyone to be quiet as he had received a congratulatory phone call from the President of the United States.

    He picked up a special red phone, and spoke into it.

    ?Mr. President,? said Dr. Lowenstein, grinning broadly, ?after twelve years of hard research and billions of dollars spent, we have finally found intelligent life on Mars.?

    He listened for a second, and his smile gradually disappeared, replaced by a frown.

    He said, ?But that?s impossible . . . we could never do it. yes Mr. President,? and hung up the phone. He addressed the crowd of scientists staring at him curiously.

    ?I have some bad news,? he said, ?the President said that now that we?ve found intelligent life on Mars . . . he wants us to try to find it in Congress.?

    ppqp.......or sf

    The boss returned from lunch in a good mood and called the whole staff in to listen to a couple of jokes he had picked up. Everybody but one woman laughed uproariously. Used to having a better audience, his good mood quickly faded. ?What?s the matter?? grumbled the boss. ?Don?t you get the jokes??

    ?I don?t have to laugh,? she said. ?I?m leaving Friday.?

    When I went to get my driver?s license renewed, our local motor-vehicle bureau was packed. The line inched along for almost an hour until the man ahead of me finally got his license.

    He inspected his photo for a moment and commented to the clerk, ?I was standing in line so long, I ended up looking pretty grouchy in this picture.?

    The clerk looked at his picture closely. ?It?s okay,? he reassured the man: ?That?s how you?re going to look when the cops pull you over anyway.?

    The three wise men arrived to visit the child lying in the manger.
    One of the wise men was exceptionally tall and bumped his head on the low doorway as he entered the stable. ?Jesus Christ!? he exclaimed.
    Joseph said, ?Write that down, Mary; it?s better than Clyde!?

    A man walks into a bar, orders a drink, gulps it down, looks in his pocket then orders another one.

    He gulps that one down, looks in his pocket again, then orders another one.

    He does this about 7 or 8 more times when the bartender finally asks, ?Every time you finish a drink you look in your pocket. What?s in your pocket??

    The man replies, ?Oh? I have a picture of my wife in there. I drink until she looks good, then I go home.

      Good Monday morning Abbers,

      It's true Mick - there is no intelligent life to be found in Congress :H :H
      I am so allergic to bunnies but wish I could give them a home. That was very kind of you to go out of your way like that
      The veggie garden is producing some monster tomatoes, you probably saw the pic on FB of the nearly 2 pound heirloom tomato I picked yesterday!!! We also started digging up some red norland potatoes - yum I'm heading to see the foot doctor this afternoon. Hope I get an idea of what's going on & get some relief!!

      SF, glad to see you drop in & I really hope you get fired this week if that's what you truly want
      Wishing you the very best in creating a new future for yourself!

      Hi there Det, PQ, Pauly, Sam, bear, SL & everyone!
      Wishing everyone a wonderful AF day!

            PPQ - don't get a bear washing machine brain it's exhausting.

            I'm reading this book called the tao of f**k it or they way of f**k it - it's about,well it's kind of obvious what it's about and I think it needs to be a big part of my new way of life!

            Boring tiring day at work, and felt bit shivery and coldy,see how I feel tomorrow.
            Working at home tomorrow so should be ok.

            Thinking on and off about quitting roller derby,wondering what else I could do instead,thinking of maybe just roller skating.

              Bear - I was dreading the scales after my holiday but only put on a tiny amount - and I ate a lot!!! Walked a lot too.
              Busy day - waded thru so many emails (just 500 from work!), most not needed:upset:
              Lav, that tomato looked lovely!
              Sweet bunnies Mick - ready for the first of the month for sure - but NO MORE Dec 25th talk - GET IT!!!! please
              I had the toughest night last night of my time off - the routine to drop everyone at home and nip to the store bugged me a lot - hungry and tired for sure...made it thru and now back to my new normal.
              Seeing lots of slipping and sliding in other threads - makes me feel like burying my head a bit - do not want to catch that...so sorry for those who are, especially with so much good time made:upset:
              Thanks for all the encouragement and support last week - hope TT. Sam and Det are all good - so nice to see Pauly, Lav, Mick, Bear and PPQ

                Hi, Daily Abbers! :wave:

                I knew I could find you here, SL! Last week was fun. I'm so glad you returned to your new normal, instead of the bad old one, when you got home.

                There is some tough stuff going on on some threads right now and it all is accentuated by Robin William's death today. It is important to remember that this can be a fatal condition and must be taken very seriously but we should never forget that we are in control of our relationship with alcohol. We can feel awful for someone else and do whatever we can to offer support but do not need to feel like a "slip" or relapse is inevitable - it is always a choice.

                I'm glad we both made it home safe and sober .

                  yaba daba doo ABeroooos!

                  greetings from a hotel room in Norcal.

                  Mick, those are the cutest bunnies! we have some wild ones in the yard and i refer to them as my pets.

                  SL, 500 work emails? jeepers! I thought I was bad. time to hit the 'buggar off' button.

                  Lav, here's hoping your footsie is ok.

                  so sad to lose Robin Williams in this way. another brilliant, hyper-talented, yet tormented person.

                  my hands are so darn sore and bleeding in places from dismantling a whole room full of helmets today to ready them for painting. it's different at least!

                  just an overnighter which is great. fencing tomorrow night back in Reno and I'm really looking forward to it.

                  SF, I can totally dig the corporate mindset interfering with serenity. I hope you get your freedom soon. I'm also excited by an opportunity that just hit me out of the blue. don't want to get too excited yet but I'm very hopeful.

                  NoSugar nice to see you in these parts

                  ok, time to relax and get lots of sleep

                  be well peeps!
