    When humans were being created, God was asked what he was doing.

    He replied, "Just some body building."

    An old drover walked into a barber shop in Black Stump Crossing, New Territory, Australia for a shave and a haircut.
    He told the barber he couldn't get all his whiskers off because his cheeks were wrinkled from age.
    The barber got a little wooden ball from a cup on the shelf and told the old drover to put it inside his cheek to spread out the skin.
    When he'd finished, the old drover told the barber it was the cleanest shave he'd had in yonks, but he wanted to know what would have happened if he had accidentally swallowed the little ball.
    The barber replied,
    "You'd just have to bring it back in a couple of days like everyone else does.

    My girlfriend and I were talking about obscure animals.

    She said, "I've always wanted to get a manatee!"

    I said, "Well, that's very generous, I take it with two sugars."

    A crusty old Marine Sergeant Major found himself at a gala event hosted by a local liberal arts college. There was no shortage of extremely young idealistic ladies in attendance, one of whom approached the Sergeant Major for conversation.

    "Excuse me, Sergeant Major, but you seem to be a very serious man. Is something bothering you?"
    "Negative, ma'am. Just serious by nature."

    The young lady looked at his awards and decorations and said, "It looks like you have seen a lot of action."
    "Yes, ma'am, a lot of action."

    The young lady, tiring of trying to start up a conversation, said, "You know, you should lighten up a little. Relax and enjoy yourself."

    The Sergeant Major just stared at her in his serious manner. Finally the young lady said, "You know, I hope you don't take this the wrong way, but when is the last time you had sex?"

    "1955, ma'am."

    "Well, there you are. You really need to chill out and quit taking everything so seriously! I mean, no sex since 1955! She took his hand and led him to a private room where she proceeded to "relax" him several times.

    Afterwards, panting for breath, she leaned against his bare chest and said, "Wow, you sure didn't forget much since 1955!"

    The Sergeant Major, glancing at his watch, said in his serious voice, "I should hope not ma'am, it's only 2130 now."

    My mate rang me and asked, "What're you doing at the moment?"

    I said, "Probably failing my driving test."

    I was watching a program on TV the other day, about a group of anthropologists who travelled across Africa digging up dry river beds looking for artefacts, im sorry but i just think thats going from one ex stream to another

    "That's me in a nutshell."

    look at this horrible weather!!!!!!!

    morning all
    Mick that pic of yours is almost surreal. What a heavenly spot you got there. Thanks for the positive thoughts there friend, it would be nice to have a little steadier income. Cut my hair, trimmed my beard yesterday, now all I got to do is find my shoes! Hauling a cow to the butcher today. Beef has been doing pretty well at the farmers market.

    Lav, my chickens are laying so-so. I'm certain it is time to replace our older hens. Went and looked at some piggies yesterday, looks like I'm buying 3. They are like little puppies. The boar is an "interesting" creature. Think I'll just stick to feeder pigs!

    Det, wish there was some magic wand I had to help but the bottom line is, as you know, choices. First drink is always a choice. Stopping is a choice. We are each different so HOW to stop is different. Maybe it is the "how" part that needs some scrutiny. I echo Mick, PM me if need be.

    Well off the mines. Hope everyone enjoys their day to the fullest!
    Sam

      Good morning Abbers, happy Thursday to all!

      Great pic there Mick! Do you actually take some time to sit in one of those chairs? You certainly should, ha ha!
      I hope everything goes well with Sandy today.

      Sam, hope you have found your shoes for the interview - wishing you the best
      I have found that after 2 1/2- 3 years egg production really drops with my hens. At that point I have to force myself to turn them over to the Amish farmer & start over with a new flock.

      Det, I am sorry to see you going thru all this again. What can you do to ensure that this is the last fall for you?
      We all want to see you happy & healthy, please take care!

      Greetings to everyone, I will check back in later. I need to get out to Curves to get myself balanced! No kids to watch today!!!

              Bacon? Did someone say, bacon?

              Good timing for me to check in then. Mick, you got Sandy home yet? No doubt she's missing that idyllic yard of yours.

              Pauly, the image of you walking downstairs is pretty funny. Thanks for sharing.

              PQ, did you update us on your eye? Must check back, maybe I missed it.

              Hi Sam, hi Lav.

              Det, hope things are looking up in your world.

              I think my refrigerator has had it! Keeps leaking water even though I disconnected the water supply line from the wall!!??

              Gonna take another look.

              Oh Mick, barber joke was a hoot!

                evening everyone - Det hope you're feeling a bit better, what are you thinking of doing to stay sober?You can do it I remember when I first joined you were sober for a long time - is it job, depression,is diet too tricky to maintain as well?
                Went for skate round lake after work tonight with friend from derby team.
                I've decided I am going back,things are changing - and I will confront anything I'm not happy with. I'm going to go back in July and just in the week,keeping my weekends free.Feel much happier,they are tackling the bullying issues as well. For now enjoying free time and gym sessions, body pump and balance and spinning this week.Love it!I'm enjoying walking too and miraculously didn't put on weight over weekend - may have lost it if I'd eaten healthily as well!.
                Hope everyone is good,I'm 'good tired' after exercise, I'm a bit nervous about presenting as CEO is at our team meeting tomorrow and also director has expected member of my team to be further along with a piece of work than she is and she's on leave for a week - eek.

                        MAE AL....

                        Mick...thanks for kicking us off. Hope everything went ok with Sandy. Crazy glue is gone, cut healed but the iritis is back full strength. Back to drops every hour. Your yard looks fabulous, very relaxing. Garden meeting was a long one, went past my bedtime. LOL This is a transition year for me as I'm handing over my responsibilities as soon as I get the website up and running.

                        Sam...did you find your shoes or can you wear your shit kickers to work? Love the little piggies, are your 3 among them?

                        Lav...get your balance back? I've been thinking of taking a yoga or tai chi class. Think it might help me de-stress from work.

                        Pauly....bow legged and slow....what an image. Take time out for you with your busy days coming up.

                        NS....Baby bacon :harhar:

                        Pi...glue is gone, cut is healed now I just have to deal with the iritis again. :sad: You are definitely handy to have around.

                        Bear...good luck with your presentation. Remember to just picture everyone in their underwear. If you're going back to roller derby I'm glad you've decided to do it on weekdays. Don't put too much pressure on yourself. You are sounding pretty strong these days.

                        Dex...glad you checked in. Slow and steady, you will get through this. :hug:

                        TT....good to see you popping in.

                        I am watching the hockey game tonight instead of the election debates. Decided it's going to be a relaxing evening and early to bed. Off to make a bacon and tomato sandwich for dinner.
                        Have a peaceful evening all......:smile:PPQP

                              thanks again all, doing a tad better. weak and emotionally devastated, but that's how it goes when you do dumb things
