    big shout to anyone Ive missed

    My wife's a terrible cook, who can never get her sauces right.

    But I've stuck with her, through thick and thin.

    After a woman cyclist was found to have competed in a race using a bike with a motor, I now intend to realise my dream of winning the Tour de France on my Harley-Davidson.

    I put a zebra through the scanner at Wal Mart

    Cost me 400 dollars

    I saw a van with a sticker saying, 'No tools are kept in this vehicle overnight'.

    So I broke into it during the day.

    I borrowed my neighbours expensive lawnmower and as I took it I reassured him that I would treat it as if it were my own.

    It's been in my shed for 3 years now

    A disappointed salesman of Coca-Cola returned from his assignment to Saudi Arabia.

    A friend asked, "Why weren't you successful with the Saudis?"
    The salesman explained, "When I got posted, I was very confident that I would make a good sales pitch.
    But I had a problem. I didn't know how to speak Arabic. So I planned to convey the message through three posters.

    First poster : A man lying in the hot desert sand totally exhausted and fainting.
    Second poster : The man is drinking Coca-Cola.
    Third poster : Our man is now totally refreshed.
    And then these posters were pasted all over the place.

    Salesman:"I thought it would work out well..."

    "The hell it should have!" said the Friend

    Problem is..they read from right to left!"

    Just been on Trip Advisor.

    They recommend LSD and magic mushrooms.

    I couldn't believe what I saw when I took a tour of Bob Marley's house in Jamaica.

    His entire bedroom wall was covered with posters of students.

    I went to the barber's yesterday. He said, "you're starting to go bald."
    I said, "well, get a fcking move on then."

    MAE Abbers,

    Public holiday today so been out on the beach with oldest son DIL and daughter. Beautiful day, not too hot and light breeze.

    Car still not fixed Mick but have been driving a little Nissan that is for sale and may buy it for daughter as she will be driving soon. Then I can take my time sorting mine or selling it. Time to get a new one, I have had mine since new in 2000 but I hate to part with it.

    Trying to drop some weight as well Pauly, so following tips from NS.
    Since I quit drinking and now smoking my sweet tooth has been the problem, have put on 14 kg this last year and that is on top of the 10 kg I put on when I quit drinking.

    Depressing me a bit. I am not vain but I feel so sluggish carrying all this extra weight. I joined a gym but hurt my back doing nothing and it has put me off. I am swimming when I can but this summer has been rubbish.

    Glad to hear things are better for you Det.

    Congratulations on 100 Pauly !

    Mick we are still working on dates to come over ...my DIL and middle son going on holiday first so it is looking like May and I am thinking to make it a little longer to get visits to as many friends as possible. Will keep you posted.

      Mae everybody,Mick you silly goose its Feb first!! Thank you for the poem and for staring my special thread yesterday, I blushed embarrassed for a second but thought hell I'm gonna embrace the compliments and encouragement, that's what we're here for right? Besides those days were kinda hard to get but due for sure,it was raining super hard at first yesterday but by the time I got my phone it kinda tapered off but at least you got to see my neck of the desert for a bit Kuya, I'm gonna try a low carb way of eating for a few weeks,it usually works quick but the problem is that I start craving carbs like crazy!even things I would never eat like ramen noodles,or white bread start looking good,we'll see,my problem too is a low blood sugar feeling and I think if I cut out the carbs I'll stay more steady,NS, any input? Tried it yesterday and was fine.....until dinner ran late and I was climbing the walls!! Hello to Lav,Sam,Bear,PPQP,Det I hope we all have a great Monday
      I have too much shit to do today and tomorrow to drink:sohappy:

      I'm taking care of the "tomorrow me":thumbsup:
      Drinkin won't help a damn thing! Will only make me sick for DAYS and that ugly, spacey dumb feeling-no thanks!

        Good Monday morning Abbers & it's FEBRUARY 1th over here Mick
        Aren't we supposed to be saying WHITE RABBITS????

        I am pleased to wake up to a sunny 45 degrees here - yay!! Let the snow melting begin!!

        Mick, your bunnies look like movie stars on Facebook!
        They look seriously happy, ha ha! Enjoy your shopping day or whatever it turned into

        kuya, losing a little weight at my age is ridiculously difficult. I am trying to not worry about it too much & I do feel better, less sluggish with a bit of exercise. Enjoy the trip planning, it sounds like fun!

        Hey Sam, as the snow melts the mud appears around here. I bet you are dealing with it as well!!

        Hello to Pauly, PQ, Pie, Det, NS, bear & anyone stopping by today!
        I am off to Curves now then will see what happens.
        Have a great AF day everyone!

            MAE ALL.....

            Mick...thanks for kicking us off. Yup, can't fool us we know it's Feb 1st. Not the gaffer at work yet but they did form a hiring committee so things should start moving soon. Eye feels much better but won't know for sure till the end of the month. Spring like weather here all though temps are going to be a little cooler. I can live with that.

            Shout out to everyone else, early start today so have to get in gear. Will check in at work later......:smile:PPQP

                L-O to you, too, Mick.

                Hey, Pauly, I've learned my lesson around here concerning talking about diet too much, which sometimes seems to be more like a religion than anything else. There are 2 physicians with websites that I think mostly are getting it right that you might want to explore:
                Diet Doctor - Revolutionize your health

                We're all different so the main thing in my opinion is an open mind and a willingness to run experiments on yourself long enough to see if the changes improve your health and as an awesome side effect, allow you to lose any weight that is making you uncomfortable.
                PM me anytime if you want to chat about it.

                The springlike weather is making me too eager for REAL spring, Sam and Lav - too disappointing when the low temps and snow return! Yesterday was amazing here - even got to have the windows open. Fresh air just feels so good.

                Have a good new day, week, and month Abbers! :heart: NS

                  Happy un-hung Monday ABeroooos!

                  oh my, a foot of snow here. it's snowmageddon! so, exercise plan for today consists of shoveling.

                  Bear, yes I'm very actively looking at employment that doesn't include hotels and long travel. it's time consuming and a bit
                  scary, but change is needed.

                  Pauly, if you cut out all the 'bad' carbs from your diet your blood sugar will indeed stabilize. Give it a go for 30 days and I think you will be pleasantly surprised.

                  hows the weather back east? sure some crazy photos on the news lately.

                  well, packing up for a long drive over the snowy mountains tomorrow. Making sure to have a good state of mind and truly enjoy the beauty of the Sierras in winter.

                  I've been doing mindfulness/presence meditations twice per day for the last week and a half or so and it's truly fascinating where this journey is taking me. Hard to describe but it's great stuff.

                  much wellness to you one and all

                    Well Happy White Thirtyseconth to one and all!



                    Unusually busy day with 8th graders, then two unexpected condo showings this afternoon/evening. Summer Guest will be returning to town next week for some follow-up classes! She's crashing here one night, before catching up with her classmates for the rest of her stay. Really looking forward to the visit. Off to relax for the night. See y'all in the morning.

                    Oh, Lav! I guess my new avatar is a pie watch. Not made by Apple tho.

                        Pauly - I never allowed anyone to use the word 'BORED" around me. Just ask my kids, ha ha!! We were just talking about that this weekend, reminiscing about the times I handed them a vacuum cleaner & dust cloth even time they complained about being bored, LOL

                        Pie, 8th graders are total hoodlums, ha ha. You are a brave one, props to you

                        Det, the east coast is getting rain tonight but it's melting the 2+ feet of snow that's been hanging around for the last week & a half. Good luck on the job search.

                        PQ, enjoy the mild weather while you have it, right?

                        Peace to all tonight!
