    Last month I cut my energy bill in half.

    Didn't work though. I still had to pay the full amount.

    Money has gone missing from Fleetwood Mac's dressing room again.

    They're starting to suspect Stevie nicks.


    BBC News: "Prince William and Kate Middleton have named the day they will be married; April 29th"

    I believe it was named that already.

    The inventor of the sleeping pill has died and is being buried next week ' he's not having a wake .

    I always thought the Superbowl was what Clark Kent ate his cereal from..

    The strong young man at the construction site was bragging that he could outdo anyone in a feat of strength. He made a special target of one of the older workmen. After several minutes, the older worker had enough. "Why don't you put your money where your mouth is?" he said. "I will bet a week's wages that I can haul something in a wheelbarrow over to that outbuilding that you won't be able to wheel back." "You're on, old man," the braggart replied. "Let's see what you got." The old man reached out and grabbed the wheelbarrow by the handles. Then, nodding to the young man, he said, "All right. Get in."

    Two missionaries in Africa were apprehended by a tribe of very hostile cannibals who put them in a large pot of water, built a huge fire under it, and left them there.
    A few minutes later, one of the missionaries started to laugh uncontrollably.

    The other missionary couldn't believe it! He said, ''What's wrong with you? We're being boiled alive! They're gonna eat us! What could possibly be funny at a time like this?''

    The other missionary replied, ''I just peed in the soup!

    One winter morning while listening to the radio, Bob and his wife hear the announcer say, "We are going to have 4-6 inches of snow today.
    You must park your car on the even numbered side of the street, so the snowplow can get through."

    Bob's wife goes out and moves her car.

    A week later while they are eating breakfast, the radio
    announcer says, "We are expecting 6-8 inches of snow today. You must park your car on the odd numbered side of the street, so the snowplow can get through."

    Bob's wife goes out and moves her car again.

    The next week they are having breakfast again, when the radio announcer says, "We are expecting 8-10 inches of snow today. You must park..." then the electric power goes out.

    Bob's wife is very upset, and with a worried look on her face she says, "Honey, I don't know what to do. Which side of the street do I need to park on so the plow can get through?"

    With the love and understanding in his voice like all men who are married to blondes exhibit, Bob says, "Why don't you just leave it in the garage this time?"

    A group of Americans are touring Ireland. One of the women in the group is a real curmudgeon, constantly complaining: "The bus seats are uncomfortable, food is terrible, too hot, too cold, accomodation is dreadful..."

    One day, the group arrives at the site of the famous Blarney Stone. "Good luck will be followin' ya all your days if you kiss the Blarney Stone," their guide says. "Unfortunately, it's being cleaned today and so no one will be able to kiss it. Perhaps we can come back tomorrow."

    "We can't be here tomorrow," the nasty woman shouts. "We have some other boring tour to go on. So I guess we can't kiss the stupid stone."

    "Well now," the guide says, "it is said that if you kiss someone who has kissed the stone, you'll have the same good fortune."

    "And I suppose you've kissed the stone?" the woman scoffs.

    "No, ma'am," the frustrated guide responds. "But I have sat on it."

    Two blondes decide to go duck hunting. Neither one of them has ever been duck hunting before and after several hours they still haven't bagged any.

    One hunter looks at the other and says, "I just don't understand it - why aren't we getting any ducks?"

    Her friend says, "I keep telling you, I just don't think we're throwing the dog high enough."

    A young mother paying a visit to a doctor friend and his wife made no attempt to restrain her five-year-old son, who was ransacking an adjoining room.

    But finally, an extra loud clatter of bottles did prompt her to say, "I hope, doctor, you don't mind Johnny being in there."

    "No," said the doctor calmly, "He'll be quiet when he gets to the poisons."

    Good morning Abbers, happy hump day

    Sunny this morning & heading up to a balmy 46 degrees this afternoon - woo hoo!
    It will be cold again tomorrow & snow expected on Monday.

    Thanks for the coffee Mick!
    I woke up to a text from my son asking if I could help him with kid watch today. So I guess that's what I'll be doing for a while. Nothing much else going on anyway. My dirty windows will stay dirty until April or May, ha ha!!!

    Narilly, I sure hope you are staying warm! I'm not sure I could deal with frozen tundra temps like that, be careful :hug:

    PQ, I hope everything works out OK for you with the home mortgage!

    Greetings to everyone! I must run now but will check in later.
    Have a great AF Wednesday!

      Morning, My Peeps! Looking out over cold, drizzly skies this morning, but forecast calls for drastic improvement after noon. It struck me last night how amazing it is that for 30+ years, my life was so entangled with alcohol, and now it isn't. Such a prisoner, I was, especially drinking myself to sleep every evening. What a relief to no longer be concerned about keeping enough supply, so as not to run out.

      MWO is my only support. Such a powerful place, and you all make it so. Mighty grateful to be among you.

      Off to start the day, will check back later. :heartbeat:

              Hi Lav, Pauly, and Narilly. PQ, I'm following your home story with interest. Sounds like the condo you live in is a good fit for you, since you've been there so long. Sure hope you and the owner can make a deal that works for you. Potentially a lot of expenses to be avoided in selling to you, versus finding a new buyer. Good luck!

              Always good to see you popping in Det. Where's our Sam?

              Meant to ask SL what a culture day is.

                WHAT A DAY....that is all.

                Just kidding but it was a h*ll of a day. One thing after the other starting at 8am and ending with me having to phone By Law Services because someone tied up their dog at the front of the community centre and forgot about it. Some people should not be allowed to own anything.

                Pie...I'll keep you posted. I laughed at your earlier post. Moi...would be thinking am I still able to drive to the liquor store because I ran out. Life is a whole lot easier these days (I think) LOL

                Narilly...turned out to be a great day eh? Too bad temps will be falling all day tomorrow with snow on it's way. At least this year we're getting our chinooks.

                Pauly...you sound like you're doing better. Hitting the hay after giving back Louie must have helped. Hope you're on the upswing.

                Lav...thanks, definitely not stressing over things. What happens will happen with or without me worrying about it. LOL Hope your kid watch day was enjoyable.

                Mick...sorry to hear about the deaths in the garden. I know you were probably looking for something to do. LOL The garden meeting went really well, I've learned how to keep the executive on track and stick to the agenda. I just don't let one member talk at all. LOL I'm sure the house situation will work out otherwise you'll all be hearing about how hard it is to find affordable housing in Calgary.

                Det...glad to hear you're home safe and sober. Wow has it really been 11 days already. :goodjob:

                Have to figure out what to do about dinner so will chat with you all tomorrow or again later tonight....like to see if Det pops in.
                Have a peaceful evening all......:smile:PPQP

                  I probably should mention that I heard from Sam a day or two ago. He's fine, busy preparing for a possible new job. I'm sure he'll fill you in on the details when he can

                  Only watched the youngest guy for a few hours then took him to his afternoon preschool. It's hard getting his socks & shoes on when he's head deep in Thomas trains, ha ha!!!

                  Hi there Pie, pauly, nariily & all yet to arrive. SL, Det, TT??

                    Hi all - quick check in, long day.
                    Culture day - was a day with all directors and above, with a consulting company to decide the culture of our organisation! 16 of us in a hotel room for 9 hrs with two consultants - imagine the cost of that!! And drinks after - that was a temptation after that day, but chose to run home!
                    Happy to take a holiday Det - was that an invite??:yay:
                    Hi to everyone else - good to see all the regular checkins,..
