    When I get home late from the pub.

    I'm going to give my wife a right good listening to.

    I've just been uninvited from a friends wedding.

    Apparently RSVP'ing "Maybe Next Time" wasn't an acceptable response.

    People always get so excited about the next generation iPhone.

    But no one has caught up with the awesome technology that's called a Turn Signal.

    Man: Doctor Doctor, i feel like a cowboy.

    Doctor: Really?, how long have u felt like this for?

    Man: About a yeeeeeeeeeaaaaarrrrrrrr

    Last night I had a massive argument with some guy in a wheelchair.



    He was basically just pissed off because I was in his wheelchair.

    My new years resolution was to eat more locally grown produce.

    However this has been scuppered by my neighbours new year resolution to build a bigger fence between our gardens.

    I tried to get to work by train this morning, they said "Today there is a Bus replacement service"

    So I gave them a tin of pineapple chunks.

    They said "What's that?"

    I said "That's my money replacement service."

    hello there,good to see you Mick - and glad you're feeling better - 11lbs in a month - great stuff.I've lost about 5 I think but am really changing shape,waist coming back,stomach shrinking and feeling fitter - running is working and I'm enjoying it!

    Det - so glad to hear from you and that you and DX are ok,good luck with new therapist - are you looking at new job,or new plan at staying sober at all?Stay well.

    Job wise I'm now on the sadness stage, I'm laughing at myself as I go through the change cycle - I've had more positive than negative days this week.I have decided that I will go for a lesser role(preferred option) or if not redundancy.

    I'm not ready to leave the line of work/organisation - realistically I'm the cheapest by far to get rid of and least experienced of the people at risk of redundancy.
    I have also thought positively about having a break.Fingers crossed.
    one day at a time

      LOVE the cabinet, Mick! Did you seriously make it from pallets? The wood is stunning, and the hardware you chose compliments beautifully. I can envision an entire kitchen done with these cabinets.

      Yesterday went very differently from what I anticipated. The condo showing cancelled, so I didn't do that, or attempt the painting. Instead, following an unexpected call, I met with a new canine client. They may not need me until the spring, but happy to have them on board.

      Pauly, looking forward to hearing how your new recipe went. What do you think about growing your own herbs? I've manged to keep rosemary and oregano plants alive for years with very little effort, and they sure come in handy for cooking.

        Good Saturday morning Abbers!

        Nice to see you back Mick & glad you are feeling better
        Nice woodwork there, sorry about the finger boo boo. I occasionally hurt myself when I am working too & it's not fun. My grandson is just starting out in cub scouts so I am just getting his uniform put together with the troop numbers & that sort of thing. His Dad went thru all that & earned his Eagle badge when he was in high school, fun times.
        Great job on the weight loss, I am jealous. The last I checked I had lost three pounds since Christmas...difficult.

        Hi there bear!
        Glad to hear you are staying positive about the future. I always had a big fear of the unknown but not so much anymore. For me it was learning to give up trying to control everything. Change can really be a good thing, even if we don't know it at the time. Good job on the weight loss too

        Hello to everyone & wishing for a great AF day for all.
        I have plenty to do today to keep me out of trouble.

            Morning
            Mick, how nice to have back, I was beginning to be concerned it might be a permanent thang, though I totally understand everyone needing a break now & then. Your cabinet is really well one. Pallets, correct? I have a boatload of them here. I recall you and Pi discussing a book on pallet uses?? 11 lbs is great. That has always been one the great pluses for my stopping to drink..weight loss. Dropped about 40 lbs and boy did I need to. Glad you're back! Snow for you??!!

            morning Bear, talking of taking a break from MWO or work? Whatever you do, do a positive thing. The work thing... I always found it hard to find a job when out of work, easier when working, why, I don't know. Must be the work mojo thang.

            Det, ditto on Bear's comment, glad things are working for you.

            Lav, you are correct about my brother, he might be perkier the next time. I took care of my mom in her final years, she was pretty bad off with the same, same drugs, etc. so not a stranger to the whole thing. The weird part of my brother s we parted in such a final and ugly way a few years back. No doubt in my mind he was beginning to have those problems, but I never knew cause he was such a shit all his life to everyone.

            off to enjoy the day, enjoy the weekend all
            Sam

            double crossed... morning Pi and Lav!

I'm trying my recipe either tonight or tomorrow, stupidly booked today off a few days ago when I was sick,now I feel anxious with too much time on my hands but I was worried I'd still be sick,oh well I'll work harder next week, that cabinet looks great,I should get into that stuff,Bobbi is shes made boxes,an Adirondack chair,a bread knife,pretty good looking stuff but you've got to have the proper tools,I don't,Sam,I wonder why so many people have dementia? Its gotta be something causing it,just haven't figured out what yet,it seems to be growing these days,hello Bear,Pie,Lav,PQ,Det,SF sometimes NS,gonna dry my fro and take a walk,enjoy your Saturday
              I have too much shit to do today and tomorrow to drink:sohappy:

                mae Abbers.

                Dementia is a weird condition and I reckon quite probly a man created one due to chemical/environmental toxins.

                My mum is in a nursing home with quite severe dementia, she is 84 and has been in lala land for two years. Her mum had no dementia and simply died of old age at 94, having suffered a far harder life than my mother. What I am suggesting is that dementia is toxin NOT age induced.

                On another level...no matter.... None of us are getting out alive, are we?!?!?

                  Counting calories can get you off track, Paulie. The source of the calories really matters because it is what our bodies do with what we put in that matters. And we do different things with the main calorie sources - protein, carbohydrate, and fat - depending on what hormones those nutrients trigger. The number of calories listed on the package of food is determined by burning that food up in an instrument called a bomb calorimeter and measuring how much energy is produced. The thing is, we are not bomb calorimeters (thank goodness!) so the numbers are pretty meaningless.
                  This is a pretty good explanation: Why Calories DonĂ¢€™t Matter - Dr. Mark Hyman
                  This article summarizes why we all get so frustrated when it seems like no matter how much exercise we do, we just can't lose weight:
                  https://www.washingtonpost.com/posteverything/wp/2015/05/15/take-off-that-fitbit-exercise-alone-wont-make-you-lose-weight.
                  Exercise is fabulous for many things - it's just not all that great on its own for losing weight.
                  And who knows, the diet and dementia association may also turn out to be causal: From dementia to liver damage, the real toll of too much sugar in your diet | Daily Mail Online

                  Well, that's my rant for today :wink:.

                  Hope you're all having a good day and Mick, it's good to see you at the top of this thread :hug:.
