    mon 19th

    mornin all...how are we today then ?all good hopefully..was out yesterday ..not too bad a day but frozen solid...not feeling too grand at the mo..havent been for a few days now,but cant exactly say how what or why,so gonna keep the post short for a wee while..no not gonna fall off the earth yet!!so heres a brew and a few jokes too....

    I've always believed in a woman's right to choose.

    Just the other day I asked my girlfriend, "Would you prefer a cheeseburger happy meal or chicken nuggets?

    I was visiting my Granddad when he said to me, "Let me give you a bit of advice, lad. You can't make an omelette..."

    "Without breaking eggs?" I finished for him.

    "No, lad, you can't make an omelette," he said, scraping it into the bin.

    I spotted my wife on the roof of the local supermarket earlier, with a large crowd below looking up at her.

    "Please babe, don't jump!" I pleaded.

    "I've had enough," she cried. "I'm gonna kill myself."

    "No, you're not," I snapped. "Now get down and we'll go and find a higher roof."

    When I was younger, I was always scared of the dentist.

    One time, I was in the chair and he was drilling away in my mouth.

    At the end, I was crying then he bent over and gave me a lollipop.

    "Fck off!" I sobbed. "That's what got me here in the first place."

    My gran always says that she never gets any phone calls.

    So for her birthday, I put one of those "How's My Driving?" bumper stickers on her car.

    I was in chemistry class today and the teacher asked me to name an element.
    So I stood up right in front of her and shouted, "AHHHHH!"
    Startled, she said, " what the hell was that?"
    "The element of surprise," I said.

    I asked this Australian bloke how far away I was from Queensland.
    He replied, "It's twenty clicks away, mate."

    Things must be bad if they've started speaking dolphin.

    I've just been to the hospital where the doctor told me my DNA was backwards.

    And?

    Good morning Abbers,

    Thanks for the start up Mick. I hope you are feeling better, take it easy today for a change.
    We aren't as young as we used to be, are we? LOL
    Speaking of young, today is my daughter's birthday & I'm thinking about how different the world was when she was born in 1977! A lot has changed over the years & I feel fortunate to still be alive & reasonably well

    Good to see you check in Det!
    I've never been to Vegas & have no plans to go either. Maybe you can look up Pauly

    Greetings to all, have a great AF Monday!

      A sunny day dawning on this MLK holiday here in the US. Did some sanding yesterday on front and back doors, and may get to painting those before the next cold spell moves in. Doors, (and windows for that matter), really need to be replaced, but not in the budget at the mo'. HOA dictates color, so no decision to make there.

      Enjoy your down time Mick. Lav, your daughter was born just about the time I was starting college. Thinking back, changes in our world have been immense.

      Have a great Monday,all!

          MAE ALL...

          Mick...thanks for the kickstart. Sorry you're feeling out of sorts, I do believe you need some down time. :hug: I don't know about across the pond but today is known as Blue Monday here.

          Lav...Bday wishes to your daughter. I'm glad I'm not raising children in this day and age.

          Pie...morning. Does it bother you that the HOA can dictate color?

          Pauly...yup things were a lot simpler then. Sounds like you've got a queasy tummy. Take care of yourself.

          Off to get ready for the CT scan. Will check back later. Have a Marvelous AF Monday all and all to come.....:smile:PPQP

              Good luck with CT scan PPQ - will look forward to results, anticipating good news.
              Hope all is ok Mick - just feeling wintery or is it unwell you are??
              TT - our industry had two regional meetings a year in LV put on by our regulatory oversight - can never quite work it out as the majority are not their to learn or network at all????
              Weather alert this morning reported 'soggy' I thought it was s misprint for foggy until opening the curtains and soggy it is!
              Pie - the drafts at my windows are crazy - I will have to get for next winter...will shiver my way thru this one and watch the heat seep out...
              Have a good Monday all

                Sorry you are not so well or feeling so perky Mick. How are you bearing up the cold - it sure looks miserable.
                SL - umm, I thought you were in the health industry? Meetings in LV? I guess its the location (easy to fly to?) and the fact that its geared up for conventions.
                Good luck with your scan PPQP. Let us know how it goes when you can.
                1977 - I think I was starting what you Americans call graduate school and my PhD, but booze didn't feature much in my life at all. It did later on in the PhD after my marriage broke up. 1978 - I lived in Manchester for 6 months as well.

                Its Tuesday here so time to start breakfast ingestion.
                Catch you later

                  PQ, I don't mind at all. We're a small condo complex, and the uniform door color adds, rather than detracts, from overall appearance of the complex. IMO. The main reason I bought here is because of the outstanding maintenance and common area/landscaping upkeep. Makes a huge difference over time; these units were built in the year Lav's daughter was celebrating her first birthday!

                  SL, I did buy replacement windows for one of my houses years ago. Remains one of my favorite improvements ever in terms of improved appearance, temp, and quietness.

                  TT - no booze for me either back in those days, at least not on any regular basis. Diet sodas, Tab and Fresca were favorites!

                    I did drink back in those days but it was sporadic. Money was a big factor. And I had other very unhealthy ways of coping.

                      TT - yes indeed health industry - lots of those conferences occur in LV! Some of the biggest drinkers around.....and party animals....

                        MAE ALL....

                        Thanks for all the well wishes.....and boy do I feel like an idiot. It was actually an ultrasound, don't know where CT scan came from other than the doc did say that at one time. LOL
                        Apparently the ultrasound is a live moving picture and the scan is static. Nothing to it. Froze the eye with a drop and used a pen with gel on the end to rub it over the eyeball. Won't know the results till Thursday when I see the ophthalmologist again. Will keep you posted.

                        All hell had broken out at the office by the time I got back there this morning. Infighting between accountant, building super and program coordinator. Made for an interesting day. The program coordinator landed a new job and is informing boss #1 tomorrow. Should make for another interesting day.

                        Had a quick read back and everyone sounds like they're doing good. In 1977 I was working for an oil company at the height of the oil boom, so drinking was a daily accepted occurrence!!

                        Feeling a little exhausted, didn't get a great sleep last night. Maybe had the "CT scan" on my mind but I wasn't worried about it. Have a gazillion ingredients in the fridge for a tossed salad so am going to get on it. May check in later but if not will see you in the morning. Have a restful evening all......:smile:PPQP

                          PQ, only an Ultrasound? That's better
                          Hey, I know how crazy it used to be in the patch. People had wet bars in their office and a long drinking lunch was a daily occurrence. So glad it is not quite as nuts now.
                          Still lots of drinking goes on but, of course, I am not part of it!

                          Enjoy your salad. We are having Monday night nachos. Yummy.
