    "Adopt a Snow Leopard", the advert urged, so I did.
    It's ruined the sofa, there's crap everywhere, my arms are in ribbons and now I can't find the dog.

    I think some charities can be downright irresponsible!

    An abstract painting sold for 16 million pounds at Sothebys yesterday.

    When asked what the picture represents the artist replied "How a fool and his money are soon parted"

    Got into a spot of bother with my mandatory drugs test at work today.

    According to the results, I'm a Russian Olympian.

    Do crossword compilers make up words?

    No, just down and across ones.

    Four fathers are waiting in a car park outside School, there is an Englishman, a Scotsman, a Welshman & an Irishman, they've got chatting while they've been waiting. The school day ends and children start to stream out, the Englishman says, "I'm looking for my boy, it's his first day in school, I'm so excited! His name's George after the Patron Saint of England because he was born on St Georges day." he spots his son and calls "George, over here my boy!"

    Seconds later the Scotsman calls out to his son "Andrew over here laddie!" and explains to the other fathers, "The same thing with wee Andrew here, he was born on St Andrew's day so we named him for our Patron Saint."

    The Welshman spots his son and calls out "David, come here bach!" telling the others, "This is a huge coincidence then boys, my David was born on St David's day so he's named after the Patron Saint of Wales."

    The Irishman says, "It is a big coincidence to be sure. My lad's named for his birthday as well."

    The Englishman, Scotsman & Welshman all chorus "Patrick?"

    "No," the Irishman replies, turning to call his son, "Pancake, over here!"

    - "James Bond? This is your new boss. I can tell you now the days of reckless spending on gadgets are over"

    - "Who are you?"

    - "IMF"

    I opened the door for a lady today.

    I normally don't bother with such outdated customs, but she was blonde and couldn't figure it out for herself.

    MONEY SAVING TIP......

    Don’t spend two quid to dry-clean a shirt. Donate it to the Salvation Army instead. They’ll clean it and put it on a hanger. Next morning, buy it back for seventy five pence.

      hey TT lovely to see you I'm also glad you're being naughty,in a good way.
      What's happening with you?

      Mick - morning - whereabouts in NW are you,I'm a Mancunian, well one with a stoopid southern accent now

      It feels like I've come to end of this round of negative feelings.I think just feeling them,taking pressure off with gentler exercise,and actually making myself go out last night helped - and having a big old cry at War Horse.I also had a nice walk back from the garage today through park after dropping car off.

      I read in meditation book about breathing into where you feel the negative thoughts in body,and breathing them out with your whole body.

      I've also stopped pushing myself to do 20 minutes meditation each morning,ten minutes of breathing in will do it each morning and a brief sitting meditation when i come in from work.

      I went to see some bands last night,I think being taken out of myself really helped me - no booze.
      I keep having thoughts of nice craft beers and wine at xmas,all twinkly fairy lights and cosy laughs,also lots of chats about this sort of caper with everyone - booze bullshit is everywhere...I'm reminding myself of the nausea,booze shame,weight gain,money and also mahoosive anxiety and fatigue this causes me too.

      Watching it and not arguing with the thought seems to work for me,like it's on tv and then goes.

      Thanks to everyone for all of your support,just feel tired and a bit calmer now - think i am finally being gentler with myself- swimming in am,yoga,less pressured meditation.I'm realising exactly how harshly I talk to myself,and how often I jump to worse case scenario ' what will they think' - the self compassion,compassion for others is hugely helping me to be calmer.

      Det and Pauly -it sounds like it may be job search time for you both,good luck.

      Love to Lav,NS,Pie,Guit,Sam and everyone else
      It's true - this too shall pass.

        Morning all

        thanks for the brew, Mick. like the rule(s) of success! Nice crate, maybe at least put tung oil or linseed oil on the crate? Nice job.

        how do TT, glad to see you pop in, how's you been?

        Bear, you're sounding a bit more relaxed. I, too, try to do a bit of meditation in the morning, doesn't always happen but I think it is a good routine.

        off early for me to see anudder farm. Yesterday went to a buffalo farm. It was muddy and they look rather wet and bedraggled. They have their own retail store on the farm. The guy told me they do not handle like cows, more spooky in tight areas. That a big mass of spook coming at you!

        Off to it friends

              Hey, Abbers
              Personally, I like your crate table just as it is, Mick.
              Bear, good job cutting yourself some slack on meditation. It's crazy when we let the things that are supposed to relieve stress cause it instead! I've done that so many times.
              Pauly, sometimes those supplements cause as many problems as they fix - on their own or by interacting with one another. Can you test them in a controlled, one-at-a-time way so you can figure out which is doing what? And not to be a complete broken record but eliminating junk from your diet will likely have better results than trying to counteract effects with supplements - saves you money at both ends, too :smile:!

                Good morning Abbers, happy Hump day

                No sun here today but it's not raining at least!

                Mick, I also like your table as is - great job
                No kids watching yesterday but you never know about today, haha! My grandsons are only about 8 miles away so driving them back & forth is no problem. The last minute requests to watch them are usually due to my son being called into work or his simply forgetting that he was scheduled to work somewhere. Some things never change, ha ha.

                Hi there TT, good to see you!

                Bear, don't make your meditation time a chore. Just try to enjoy it & utilize the after-glow
                Staying positive is good for your heart & soul.

                Sam, a buffalo farm? Really?
                The little zoo near here has a few & I am amazed & in awe of those animals. I couldn't even imagine getting up close to one - geez!!

                Pauly, one thing I have found about supplements - don't take them after 5 pm or they just may interfere with your sleep. No evening supplements or caffeine helps a lot. I don't consume anything sugary in the evening, not even a cookie. I stay away from sugar as much as possible - right NS?

                Gotta run, have a great AF day everyone!
