    big shout to all here ,not here but want to stop..go on try it..

    I saw a tramp sleeping inside a big cardboard box outside the train station this morning.
    Not wanting to disturb him, I crept over and put a Starbucks coffee cup on top of his box.
    He immediately woke up and said, "Thank you."
    "No problem." I smiled.
    He looked at me again and said, "It's empty."
    I said, "I know, it's meant to be a chimney."

    Playing Mommy And Daddy
    Little Johnny rushes home from school. He invades the fridge and is scooping out some cherry vanilla ice cream when his mother enters the kitchen. She says, "Put that away, Little Johnny. You can't have ice cream now. It's too close to supper time. Go outside and play."
    Little Johnny whimpers and says, "There's no one to play with."
    Trying to placate him, she says, "OK, I'll play with you. What do you want to play?"
    "I wanna play 'Mummy and Daddy,'" Little Johnny whines in reply.
    Trying not to register surprise, and to further appease him, she says, "Fine, I'll play. What do I do?"
    Little Johnny says, "You go up to the bedroom and lie down as if you're taking a nap." Figuring that she can easily control the situation, Mum goes upstairs.
    Little Johnny, acting a bit cocky, swaggers down the hall and opens the coat cupboard. He puts on his fathers old fishing hat. As he starts up the stairs, he notices a cigarette butt in the ashtray on the end table. He picks it up and slips it in the corner of his mouth.
    At the top of the stairs he moves to the bedroom doorway. His mother raises her head and asks, "What do I do now?"
    In a gruff manner, Little Johnny says, "Get your ass downstairs and get that kid some ice cream!"

    I've just got back from holiday in Australia. I had a great time but it didn't get off to a good start.
    At border control, the Immigration Officer asked me if I had a criminal record.
    He wasn't too pleased when said I didn't know you still needed one!

    Five-year-old Matt, worked with a speech therapist on the 'ch' sound, which came out sounding like a 'k' sound. The therapist asked him to say chicken. His response sounded more like kitchen.

    They tried again and again, but it always came out kitchen. Undeterred, she pushed him for one more try.

    Matt sighed and said, “Why don’t we just call it a duck?”

    I nearly started the thread -but held off for his lordship. Haha.
    Benidorm - goodness, does it really exist? I recall seeing a dreadful TV programme - couldn't watch it. Anyway good on you Mick for taking the 'laws' to the airport.

    I can understand that some people drink and yet dont like the taste. Its the buzz they want I guess and the other effects. I was one of those of people who mostly loved the taste (buzz also of course) of the booze I drank (except scummy lukewarm white wine out of an opened bottle that had dust mites on the surface and smelt like paint fumes - even then, in desperate times it would do). But I really did like wine - although after a few, the taste sort of looses its charm. I really liked the taste of gin and sometimes I still can smell and taste it (OK tarted up a bit with the trimmings). Actually what I didnt like was the taste of tonic water on its own or even with lime/lemon. Could never understand the 'virgin G & T'.
    Mick made a good suggestion about what to do with the money when the urge comes. But I would say even if you ever get to that stage again (of the urge to drink that is) and you end up buying the booze - dont feel bad about throwing it out - down the sink. I did that many times (unlike PQ the action did not quite have a lasting effect). I mean, whats the difference between throwing it down the sink, throwing it up or letting it out in the toilet. It all ends up in the sewer system. Thats a horrible image (and I am probably being blinded by images of rats) but its true. Even the fanciest, most expensive wine ends up as you-know-what.
    So the trick I guess is to by-pass the purchasing and the peeing - and find a way to as PQ said, reach your own happy place - without the beer. Thats the hard bit but you have already been there Pauly - and it will come back. The happy place.
    I have ranted enough - its the time of the night when the rats may come calling. I might try one of those zapper things you mentioned Mick - someone mentioned something today - they cost a bit - but I am pretty desperate on the rodent front.
    Have a great day everyone and dont let my sewer talk put you off your breakfast!

      morning all
      first lesson in procrastination: in a minute......

      how do Mick, thanks for the start up, hope all is well. Watch speaking that america speak, you'll want a six shooter next.

      TT, for me it was the buzz, I liked the taste of good beer but it had to be strong, so I could get there faster. Hard liquor was a disaster for me. Though I have to say my first drunk at age 13 on vodka cured me of ever drinking it again. I was so sick.... how did I keep on drinking after that???!!! My environment, my pop loved his booze. In the end, closing the book on that chapter for everyone is difficult. Pauly, no real advice; the bottom line is that it is a choice.

      PQ, still 'veying on weekends!

      thank goodness the debate season is over, my blood pressure is much better from not watching.

      off to the mines
      later friends

        MAE ALL....

        Mick...thanks for starting us off this morning. 1545 Airport Shuttle...that'll throw everything out of whack! No procrastinating with putting my garden to bed, all done. Last year the gardens were still producing middle of November, this year we could wake up to 2 feet of snow that won't be going anywhere!

        TT...hope you sort out the "uninvited guests" issue soon and be able to get a peaceful sleep at night. We may know the trick, practicing it is another matter.

        Sam...morning all...first lesson in procrastination: in a minute...... :harhar: My first drunk was on a popular underage wine named "Baby Duck"! Never touched it again. LOL

        Confession time....I watched the entire debate. Decided I wanted to have my own opinion instead of watching the snippets on the news. The "guy" on the left could have been my Ex. 'nough said.

        Shout out to all to come...have a positive day....:smile:PPQP

          Mae everybody, Mick the Starbucks cup chimney was funny Sam,yep it's a choice, a bad choice, there's never any alcohol in the house, that day when I was debating with myself over what choice I was going to make ,I was determined to not stop at my usual gas station, I struggled with myself while driving and ended up at a gas station that I never go to, bought it,then walking out to the car I regretted buying it but still in the end made up my mind to drink it in other news the debate last night was boring, I could have saved 2 hours of my life and skipped it,all 3 have been the exact SAME thing!TT,I've seen those mice things Mick was talking about, I wonder if it would work outside though? Anything is worth a shot I think, your sewer talk didn't gross me out,it's the truth, much love to all and I hope we all have a great AF Thursday or Friday for TT
          I have too much shit to do today and tomorrow to drink:sohappy:

                Hello everyone. Great post there for Pauly. PPQ, lordy, I certainly remember Baby Duck, ugh!

                Just had the house professionally cleaned, a step toward moving. If I miss posting just know it's because I'm up to my ears. I've ordered the relo cube and will be busy packing it.

                    Good evening Abbers,

                    Yes, I sat here & watched the entire debate by myself & ended up yelling at the TV a few times, shaking my first & all that, ha ha! I'm glad it ended when it did because I was really feeling a bit agitated atvtgat point. What a damn mess we have on our hands

                    Mick, still no word from son & his family. I am trying not to dwell on that fiasco, it could make me sick.
                    Daughter is entertaining herself getting around her house with her knee scooter. We are going yo our granddaughter's kindergarten class tomorrow for Grandparents day. Afterwards we are going to put the wounded one in the car & treat her to lunch somewhere. She is feeling housebound for sure. It was over 80 degrees here today but I hear a cold front from Canada is due to arrive on Saturday

                    TT, I would gather any & all weapons to get that rat!!!! Good luck!

                    Sam, how's your chickens doing in this goofy weather? Mine haven't started laying yet, I hope the impending cold weather doesn't throw them off schedule.

                    PQ, you watched the debate.....
                    Was your ex a narcissistic Cheeto too??? Ha ha

                    SK, good luch packing, wish we could lebd you a hand

                    Pauly, moving forward nos, right?
                    These U turns don't do us any good & just keep us from reaching our goals, right?

                    Hello to Pie, Det & anyone checking in later.
                    Peace!

                        Happy Thursdy ABeroooos!

                        Mick, thanks for the boot into the matrix yet again. You have managed to grow mutant winter-loving tomatoes.... I'm impressed!

                        so it's been rats, mice and politics... all the same basket if yer asking me. I'd like to vote for a do-over.

                        Fingers are mighty sore from work but feet are ok thanks to changing shoes here and there.

                        Weather has been mighty cold, defrosting windshield in the morn's but the weekend is supposed to be nice so it's hike/shoot time for me after what seems an eternity. If Sunday is nice I'm looking forward to martial arts at the lake. It's such a pretty spot, in fact it's where I got the bird photos from a few days ago.

                        no booze in this house either. Really can't envision that EVER being anything short of a dreadful accident waiting to happen.

                        Better go pack my lunch and wind down a bit.

                        be well loves
