    Find The Next Number
    12 13 15 17 111 113 117 119 123 ? 129 they are the first ten primary numbers with 1 in front of them.

    As they say, beggars can't be choosers, in fact beggar take what they can get. A beggar on the street can make one cigarette out of every 6 cigarette butts he finds. After one whole day of searching and checking public ashtrays the beggar finds a total of 72 cigarette butts. How many cigarettes can he make and smoke from the butts he found?

    14......makes 12 ..smokes them and then another 2 out of the dimps he has left!!

    Assuming that you are paying, is it cheaper to take one friend to the movies twice or two friends to the movies at the same time?

    It is cheaper to take two friends at the same time.
    In this case, you would only be buying three tickets, whereas if you take the same friend twice you are buying four tickets.

    Mr. And Mrs. Jacks have five children, half of them are boys. How is this possible? they are ALL boys..

    There is a train one kilometre long, travelling at a rate of one kilometre per minute through a tunnel which is one kilometre long. How long will it take the train to pass through?
    2 minutes...to completely clear the tunnel front and back of the train.

    TODAYS PUZZLES

    Which of the following words does not belong with the others and why? Father, aunt, sister, cousin, mother, uncle.

    What substance weighs more in its liquid form than in its solid form?

    . A window cleaner is cleaning the windows on the 25th floor of a skyscraper, when he slips and falls. He is not wearing a safety harness and nothing slows his fall, yet he suffered no injuries. Explain.

    A high speed electric train is travelling Southwest at 90 kilometres per hour. The wind is blowing Westward at 30 kilometres per hour. In what direction will the smoke from the engine blow?

    Two mothers and two daughters were fishing. They managed to catch one big fish, one small fish, and one fat fish. Since only three fish were caught how is it possible that they each took home a fish?

    JOKES.

    My scummy neighbour reckons he was paid fifteen hundred quid for his appearance on the Jeremy Kyle show.


    I think he's lying through his tooth.

    The launch of my new washing detergent didn't go as planned.

    I only managed to shout 'White Power' for 15 minutes before the police got involved.

    So Educating Yorkshire T.V teacher Neil Giffin has been banned from teaching after having sex with two ex students, known as "Pupil E" and "Pupil D".

    I'm just waiting to hear from Pupils P,A, and O,P,H,I,L,E

    "Why do you never pay full attention to anything I say?" Asked the wife.

    "I do," I replied, "I'm just trying to think of something to post on Twitter."

    "Something to Tweet?" She asked.

    "That would be great!" I replied, "I'll have a bacon sandwich."

    I love being in police line ups.

    Whenever I have to step forward I sing 'flying without wings' and pretend I'm in a boy band.

    I walked up to this bird at the bar and said "You're a ringer for that Demi...Demi.."

    "Demi Moore?" she interrupted.

    "No not her," I replied "That fat Greek git Demis Roussos"

    Some muppet stole my wife's purse last night.

    I'm furious. All my money was in it.

    I tried snorting coke for the first time last night,fecking bubbles gave me a migraine.

      Thanks for the video Mick - that was very cool
      Don't know about my grandsons but I will send it to my kids. They were both in the marching band in high school, I'm sure it will spark memories, ha ha!!
      Yesterday's snowfall will likely melt away when it hits 42 degrees this afternoon, but there will be mud. So much mud!!!!

      Glad to see lots of new folks popping in yesterday to say hello

      Have a great AF Thursday everyone!

              Morning everyone.
              Sorry you drank Pauly. I guess you know for next time what sets you off or what signals to be aware of before you actually take a drink. Next time come here and post. Talk to someone. Do whatever it takes not to drink.
              I know it is hard. It has happened to me too many times to count but you gotta try and find something that works for you.
              Keep after it, you Will figure it out! We all know what its like. Its freakin hard.
              But you have progress right?

              Hey Mick, I will watch that video later. It looks really good.

              Morning Lav, PQ, Det, Molly, Sam, everyone. I gotta get back to work.
              See ya!

                Molly - they call that a mental health day here in the states, well done for self care:hug:
                Mick - my girls don't say anything - I do not believe that they are very aware, they know I don't drink, and remind me of it or make comments - they let me know that they like that I don't drink, but really don't pay much attention to it - its just life now :yay:
                PPQ - when do you get your results on your US?
                Doing some multi tasking - better get back to my call

                  Good News! No retina separation. :yay: Still quite a bit of inflammation so he's increased my eye drops and another checkup next week. I feel I've dodged a bullet.

                  Pauly...sorry, can't not say anything. Don't beat yourself up. You ARE making progress. When urges arise I go and read through the tool box. I just find it a very positive place to be. Hang in there.

                  Will post more after work......:smile:PPQP

                      Pauly - you say no comments in your post, but I can't help it. I was thinking of you yesterday and you have been sick for a really long time....I am sure that that does not help. I know you have been to the doctor - and if I am sticking my nose in, tell me to stop. I wonder if you go to the Dr with a specific concern - my thought is that it might be time to forget the specific and say you are worn down, constantly sick and have had enough and could you have a thorough physical? I am thinking that if you could work out what is happening and get fixed, you would have the strength/resource to stop drinking? Maybe your nose etc are symptoms rather than the actual concern? It feels as if it is months since you have felt good and that must be so very wearing?

                          Evening all
                          hope everyone's day went well or in some cases beginning goodly. Cut some more firewood this afternoon, monster chestnut oak. Thank goodness I bought a wood splitter couple years ago or I'd need to be in traction.

                          Pauly,Pauly, Pauly, what in the world? The best thing is that you keep trying, and you do! So pick yourself up, dust yourself off and enjoy a non-hungover day. The sleep thing, are you a big coffee or soda drinker, that is, caffeine? A good physical work out does the job too, yet I know you do the 10,000 steps. As Narily said, if you feel the urge again, post here.

                          Waves to you Mick, Lav, Pie, Det (where you be?), Molly, Pq, SL, SF, Narilly and everyone!

                              Hang on in there Pauly. Don't beat yourself up OK? You know you are better off not drinking. A complete physical from the dr might be a good idea.
                              Great news about the eye PPQP.
                              Mine are sore today - too much reading on the screen and broken sleep. Worrying about the future too much as we have to make some decisions this year about what our daughter is doing.
                              Better get back to work now though!
