Jeez Mick I hope you get your knee checked out first and that it isn't anything too bad.

Hi to all you other Abbers.

Hope your finger is feeling less sore today Det....no more blindfolded cooking eh!

I am capitulating to the unavoidable truth that Xmas shopping must start soon....not a big fan of shopping but love spending the time with family.

Not too flush this year so doing secret Santa to reduce the pressure on folks buying gifts. Just the cost of feeding everyone is a fortune, and they are staying a couple days.

Anyway .. Bedtime for me

Greetings Abbers,

Sounds like you're off to a rough start this Monday morning, Mick. Best wishes on needed repairs.

Sweet dreams to you, Kuya.

Let myself get over-stressed this weekend. Puppy-minding, plumbing and electrical issues, and a lost credit card were just part of the fun. Fleeting thoughts of drinking to escape, but no real threat. Looking forward to a smoother week.

[Samstone]

morning all,
Mick, I believe I'd deal with the pain first, teef later. Sounds like you might have really injured something there. Hope nothing too serious.

Kuya, I'm trying to avoid the Xmas shopping thing, easy to do when you ain't got the do-re-mi. I do enjoy the season of people in better moods, a warm hello works for me.

Pi, that does sound like a stressful day, especially if that were only a part of it. Hope you do have a better day ahead

I was at a party for a fiddler who played last night, lots of spirits flowing, someone asked me to open a bottle of wine, I'd almost forgotten how to! In any event, I had a great time; played some, listened some, and sang some!

off to do the work thang. Greetings to all!
Sam

I came home from work early,feeling coldy and headachy, got most of the stuff done I wanted to today.Feeling tired,think it's two late nights at the weekend. Planning quick pasta dish for dinner,veg sausages chopped up in disguise as meatballs! Hoping enough to last for two dinners.

Glad I'm sober,realise I've spent years in this half functioning state at work but due to booze.
Not sure how I got away with it.Anyway happy sober time now,lazy night,bubble bath and early bed on the cards. Finished Christmas decs so all good here.

A man called his child's doctor, "Hello! My son just snatched my pen when I was writing and swallowed it. What should I do?" The doctor replied, "Until I can come over, write with another pen."

Two blondes walk into a tanning salon. The receptionist asks, "Are you two sisters?" They chuckle and reply, " No, we aren't even Catholic."

A man and and a woman from Alabama don't want any more children because they already have 11. So the husband goes to a doctor in Ohio. The doctor asks, "What state are you from?
The man say,s "Alabama." The doctor tells him to go home, put a lit cherry bomb in an empty soda can, hold it in his hand, and count to 10. The husband isn't so sure of this, so he goes to another doctor, this time in California.
When that doctor finds out that the husband is from Alabama, he tells him the exact same thing that the doctor in Ohio told him. The husband figures that the doctors must be right.
So he goes home, puts a lit cherry bomb in a soda can, and starts to count. ''1...2...3...4...5...'' The husband takes the soda can and puts it between his legs to continue counting on his fingers on his right hand. ''6...7...8...9...''

Q: How many US Attorney Generals does it take to screw in a light bulb?

A: I cannot recall that particular answer at this time.

After church service, a little boy tells his pastor that he is going to give him a lot of money when he grows up.
"Well, thank you," the pastor replies. "But why?"
The little boy says, "Because my daddy says you're one of the poorest preachers we've ever had!"

A leprechaun walks into a bar. After several pitchers of beer, the leprechaun runs over to a large, mean-looking guy, sticks out his tongue and spits all his legs. The guy reaches out to grab the leprechaun, only to miss him as he jumps back to his seat.

"If you know what's good for you, don't come near me again, or I'll rip off your little tallywagger," yells the mean-looking guy.

After a few more pitchers, the leprechaun runs over to the mean-looking guy, sticks out his tongue and spits all over his legs again. This time, the guy successfully catches the leprechaun.

"All right, I've got you this time. I warned you -- now I'm gonna rip off your little tallywagger!"

The leprechaun laughs, "You can't do that."

"Why not?" asks his captor.

"Because," giggles the leprechaun, "leprechauns don't have tallywaggers."

"Whadda ya mean you don't have a tallywagger?" growls the angry man, "How in the hell do you pee?"

"Just like this," laughs the leprechaun as he sticks out his tongue and spits.

An old woman says to an old man at the rest home, "I can guess your age."

The man doesn't believe her, but tells her to go ahead and try.

"Pull down your pants," she says.

She inspects his rear end for a few minutes and then says, "You're 84 years old."

"That's amazing," the man says. "How did you know?"

"You told me yesterday."

A milkman gets an order for 45 pints of milk. Puzzled, he decides to ask the customer if this is a mistake.
When he knocks on the door, a woman comes out wearing just a bath towel, and she confirms that she wants 45 pints. "Milk baths are good for your skin," explains the woman.
"Oh, OK," replies the milkman. "Do you need it pasteurized then?"
"No," says the woman. "Up to my boobs will be fine."

Yo' Mama is so ugly, she makes onions cry.

Good Monday afternoon Abbers!

Mick, I'm glad you got your knee checked out, sounds painful. I hope you heed the 'rest' instructions.

I spent most of the weekend trying to talk YB into going to the ER. The fool managed to drop his iPhone directly on his eye,crazy. I Think he may have done some damage because he's seeing black spots, floaters, all that. Of course he wouldn't go get it looked at. He drove himself to work this morning & is now texting me about how bad his eye is getting. He made an appointment to see the eye doc early tomorrow morning, geez.

Kuya, my goal is to spend less this year on Christmas. So far so good. I spend a fortune on food too.

Pie, today has to be a better day for you! Keeping my fingers crossed

Sam, I think I've forgotten how to open a wine bottle too. At this point, if someone asked me to open a bottle I think I would just say no, LOL
Glad you enjoyed the fiddler!!

Pauly, feel better!

Bear, I am focused on today & hopeful for a fabulous future. I'm not using any of my time regretting the past. We owe ourselves a peaceful day & future.

Det, I hope you heal quickly dude!

Have a great AF day everyone!

Lav

[Determinator]

hi diddly doo ABerooos!

Mick, we must be related! heal well amigo. do they need to operate on the ligament? hope not.

Sam, too funny. somethings it's truly ok to forget.

Lav, I'll set the pace for Xmas spending at zero! we don't celebrate it and don't have kids so it's easy for us

Pie, good job staying in the fight in spite of adversity.

Bear, hope you get some good sleep. one secret I got from a sleep specialist is to take 1/2 an aspirin before bed. it lowers body temp
and signals 'sleepy time'. Also wear blue-blocker shades an hour before bed (reminds me I gotta get a pair). LOL... just realized how
that sounds. oh well.

sleep tight m'loves

[Determinator]

oops, missed Kuya. promise I'll keep one eye open when using the big knife.
