    What happens when a fly falls into a coffee cup?

    An Italian - will throw away the cup and walk away in a fit of rage.

    A Frenchman - will take out the fly, and drink the coffee.

    A Chinaman - will eat the fly and throw away the coffee.

    A Russian - will drink the coffee with the fly, since it was extra with no
    charge.

    An Israeli - will sell the coffee to the Frenchman, the fly to the Chinese, buy himself a new cup of coffee and use the extra money to invent a device that prevents flies from falling into coffee.

    The Palestinian - will blame the Israeli for the fly falling in his coffee, protest the act of aggression to the UN, take a loan from the European Union to buy a new cup of coffee, use the money to purchase explosives and then blow up the coffee house where the Italian, the Frenchman, the Chinese, and the Russian are all trying to explain to the Israeli that he should give his cup of coffee to the Palestinian.

    My wife's been hitting the bottle pretty hard recently.
    Still can't get the last of that ketchup out though.

    Isn't it strange how words that sound the same have different meanings for different languages. For instance in the English speaking world "Sirens"are found on loud emergency vehicles, whereas in Japan it means be quiet.

    I saw a woman walking alone in the street last night so I stopped beside her.

    I said, "Can I give you a lift home?"

    "No thanks, I'd rather walk" she replied.

    "Is it because I'm a stranger?" I asked.

    She said, "No, it's because you're on a Segway."

    A cowboy rode into town and stopped at a saloon for a drink. Unfortunately, the locals always had a habit of picking on strangers, which he was. When he finished his drink, he found his horse had been stolen. He went back into the bar, handily flipped his gun into the air, caught it above his head without even looking and fired a shot into the ceiling.

    "Which one of you sidewinders stole my horse?!?!?" he yelled with surprising forcefulness. No one answered. "Alright, I'm gonna have another beer, and if my horse ain't back outside by the time I finish, I'm gonna do what I dun in Texas! And I don't like to have to do what I dun in Texas!" Some of the locals shifted restlessly. The man, true to his word, had another beer, walked outside, and his horse has been returned to the post.

    He saddled up and started to ride out of town. The bartender wandered out of the bar and asked, "Say partner, before you go... what happened in Texas?" The cowboy turned back and said, "I had to walk home

    Hey Mick - went to Banksy's Dismaland yesterday - brilliant, saw two great bands and met up with lovely old friend.Home at 3.30am though - long drive - shattered today,furry alarm clock woke me at 9.15 though and need to be up from 10am for remortgage phone call.Thrilling stuff!Still on the plus side I'm up,unhungover and can have a nana nap later,that and doing some yoga/gym is all that is on the cards today.

    Mick - I so want to live like you and have your active life when I'm retired,off here and there and keeping yourself busy,active with loads of interests. You've got more oomph than quite a lot of 25 year olds!Only 20+ years to go!
    Often think about moving back up north,being mortgage free and living a cheaper life at some time in the future,maybe being near/nearer to the sea. We shall see..

    Pauly hope you enjoy Red Lobster - I went when we went to Hawaii and did the shrimp overdose,I LOVE biscuits!

    SF - great to see you again,I sometimes think about same thing - going into a job with less social focus,it's who I am and really important to me but sometimes it is draining.
    It would be nice to not manage people (at the moment)- and maybe work in design,or a cafe or be a life coach.
    I don't know,we'll see ...

    Pie - I love teenagers,I wouldn't go back to that age though - scary!

    PPQ - mindfulness is starting to help me,I'm just beginning and learning,the book I am using is 'mindfulness a practical guide', and is by Mark Williams and Danny Penman - really recommend it.The book has a free guided CD and a week by week programme that isn't too much.

    Hey Lav and Det and Sam and NS - hope all is well

      Thanks for the coffee Mick.
      I think my dogs love having little Ms Busy here as much as I do. Couldn't you just tell from the smiles on their faces, ha ha!!

      Pie, 13 year olds can be great or they can be disasters. I don't mind being around the happy ones

      bear, only 20 years to retirement? It will go by in the blink of an eye, trust me!! Enjoy your weekend.

      SF, glad to see you checking in last evening. It's great to enjoy your job, selling phones or furniture, no matter. Just so you are satisfied at the end of the day Keep up the good work!

      Greetings to Sam (hope you can get back online soon), PQ, NS, Det (wherever you are) & Pauly the shrimp lover

                Hi, Abbers

                Not the fast lane here, Mick. If I were in that one, I might have something interesting to share! It's ok, though, I really like my day-to-day life. I'll be traveling soon and will miss the routine.

                You sound great, Bear. All the food you make sounds good, too. I've been on a fermenting kick - pickles, cheese, kombucha. Some fermented fruit chutneys are next.

                Lav, we get the grandson tonight. He's a lot less work than a 4-year old, I'm sure. I am so grateful to be looking forward to babysitting instead of dreading it or worse yet, manipulating things to get out of it.

                Please tell Sam I miss him and hope he can get back on soon!

                    Yep, basically use kefir grains to ferment then strain through muslin. It is a soft cheese. I add herbs. Today I used goat milk so will see how much different that tastes.

                      Night owl as I am. Mick I just read back.....and I love magicians! Went to a show in Hawawii many moons ago....and he blew me away.....especailly with what he performed on my watch. We now have a guy comes into town from time to time....and he does it on the streets. He blows us away every time.

                      Bear....I hear you. I was brought up....go to college....get a career....and all will be well. That got blown to shit. It was different before the economy collapsed.....but, now since it different I want to pick my life. I don't want to drive 30 minutes to a job.....that literally has me working 24/7.....how much ass can I kiss (never was good at that).....and all that. I just want a job that pays the bills and one I don't stress over going to.

                      I think Mick's "work to live" not "live to work" finally sunk in. Am I using my college degree.....not today, but I know I will not be passed over for promotion not having one. We have ALL seen those commercials. Plus, with my hubby working now....I don't have to stress over making so much x amount of money. I seriously am just over the whole BIG career thing. I think if I was in another line of work, that may be different....and if I had to choose a career again...it would be different. But, for now I love not working on a damn "salary". I have worked commission only and salary+commision.....but, never hourly....where I literally am not allowed to work off the clock. If I was to put in the hours I worked at last job (because it never ended) vs. this....I am making more per hour. Good God....I used to wake up at 1am....thinking I forgot this or that. I was offered an opportunity to go into management at one point in my career.....but, at the time it would have been a huge paycut for me. And I am not sure I would be good at managing "other people". I'd have a really hard time firing someone.....it's just not me. And there is a big difference between a "career" and a "job". For now I prefer "job". Lots of ideas......but, it does seem that you are unhappy doing what you are doing. I did that too. It wasn't until I read and reread......."stress management is a joke, get rid of unneeded stress" that I understood. I had to understand.....that as much as I felt this was the job and the money I needed to make......that I was literally creating unneeded stress for me. There is always going to be stress......but, if you have to work that hard to equalize the stress from your job....then the only person who can answer if it worth it....is you. And for a long time...the answer was yes, for me because I have kids. Now I am so relieved to not have that pressure.

                      Paully....I have not kicked the smoking. Although the fact that I can go 12 hours without one....means I just have to do it.

                      Miss seeing Sam and I hope that Det is ok.

                      Not sure when I'll be back again......but, thank you to all for being here for me.
