Re: w/c 9th jul

MAE ALL...

Lav...have fun with the grandson tonight.

Sam...wish I knew a trick to help you retain the material. You're never to old to learn. Look at the lot of us. LOL

Pauly...I've never suffered from allergies but I hear they can come on at anytime of your life. Mick's probably out corralling the horses. Little bit of Calgary stampede in his own backyard.

Heading out in the pouring rain. Thunderstorms last night and the one's this morning woke me about 4am. Have a good one all....:smile:PPQP

I could do without the Lol at the end of it though.

A Dog named Sex
Folks generally aren't very creative in choosing names for their dogs.
That's why there are so many named Rover and Spot.
But, have you heard the plight of the fellow who thought he'd be cute and named his dog Sex?
It goes like this:
"One day Sex and I took a walk and he ran away from me. I spent hours looking for that dog. A policeman came by and asked what I was doing in this alley at midnight? I told him I was looking for Sex.
My case comes up next Tuesday."
"But, that ain't the worst part. One day, I went to the town hall to get a dog license for Sex.
The clerk asked me what I wanted. I told him I wanted a license for Sex.
He said, 'I'd like to have one, too.'
Then, I said, 'You don't understand. She's a dog.'
He said he didn't care how she looked.
When I told him I'd had Sex since I was 5, he said, “You must have been an early bloomer."
"When I decided to get married, I told the minister I wanted to have Sex at the wedding. He told me I'd have to wait until after the wedding. When I protested that Sex had played a big part in my life and that my whole life revolved around Sex, he said he didn't want to hear about my personal life."
"After my wife and I were married, I took the dog with us on the honeymoon. When I checked into the hotel, I told the clerk I wanted a room for my wife and wanted one for Sex.
She said. 'Every room in the hotel was for sex.'
I said, 'You don't understand. Sex keeps me awake at night.'
The clerk said, 'Me, too.' "
"When my wife and I separated, we went to court to fight for custody of the dog. When I told the Judge I had Sex before I was married, he grinned and said, “ Me. too."
"Now that I've been thrown in jail, married, divorced and had more trouble with that dog than I ever imagined, I'm in counseling. My psychiatrist asked me what my problem was. I said 'Sex has died and left my life. It's like losing a best friend and I'm so lonely,' I told him.
He said, “Look, you and I both know that sex isn't man's best friend. Get yourself a dog."

I had my audition for "The Chase" today, and the last question was, "What do Justin Timberlake, Selena Gomez, and Britney Spears have in common?"
I said, "Mickey Mouse Club." Bradley Walsh said, "I'll accept that, they're all Liverpool fans!"

Prison vs work
IN PRISON..........you spend the majority of your time in a 10X10 cell.
AT WORK............you spend the majority of your time in an 8X8 cubicle.
IN PRISON.........you get three meals a day.
AT WORK...........you get a break for one meal and you have to pay for it.
IN PRISON..........you get time off for good behavior.
AT WORK............you get more work for good behavior.
IN PRISON..........the guard locks and unlocks all the doors for you.
AT WORK............you're often required to carry a security card and open all the doors yourself.
IN PRISON..........you can watch TV and play games.
AT WORK...........you get fired for watching TV and playing games.
IN PRISON.........you get your own toilet.
AT WORK..........you share the toilet with some people who pee on the seat.
IN PRISON..........they allow your family and friends to visit.
AT WORK............you're not supposed to even speak to your family.
IN PRISON.........all expenses are paid by the taxpayers.
AT WORK............you pay all your expenses to get to work, and then they deduct taxes from your salary to pay for prisoners.
IN PRISON..........you spend most of your life inside bars wanting to get out.
AT WORK ...........you spend most of your time wanting to get out and go inside bars.
IN PRISON .you must deal with sadistic wardens.
AT WORK...........they're called managers.

Re: w/c 9th jul

Heya ABernooodlers!

back from the salt mines and had a great therapy session.

Mick, the pink speckled is spectacular! did you come up with a hybrid? never seen one myself.

Sam, I'd say you are a prime candidate for a nootropic 'smart drug' have a look here Nootropics | Brain Boosting Supplements
I'm not in any way affiliated with them, but I've used aniracetam and noopep and found both to be very helpful
for mental acuity. My doctor used peracetam for his medical exams and said they were a blessing. Brain hacks!

I've been watching loads of youtube and TED talks on the subject of human consciousness which is my current
subject of fascination. Such a deep and heavy subject, yet so fun. Ok, I'm a weirdo.

Pauly, I was tired today myself and not sure why. Will try for a full 8hrs tonight and see how goes.

Well, off to finish spicy Italian sausage and broccoli while watching neuroscience vids....

be well loves

Re: w/c 9th jul

Good evening Abbers,

Happy to be hosting my grandson, he's turning into a nice kid! He's pleasant & helpful & interested in so many things. Now if his little brother could pick up some of those traits.....
Still hot & grossly humid here, yucky.

Mick, that sure is an uprooted rose bush, geez! I love the pink specks on the creamy rose, very nice
Glad your curtains are ready for you, you should be almost ready for a road trip soon.

Sam, I know that older folks can learn but we just need to do it differently. what worked back in our college days no longer applies unfortunately. For me I find it helpful to read thru the material & takes notes then keep going back over those notes until it sinks in. I actually found out that I did better on testing as I got older than I did as a youngster, go figure. Good luck & stay positive

Det, you are turning into our resident geek & there's nothing wrong with that, ha ha! Whatever you are interested in is what you should pursue.

PQ, your thunderstorm is due to arrive here tomorrow afternoon!

Hey there Pauly & everyone!

Wishing everyone a peaceful night & try not to have nightmares about the lunacy going on in DC

Re: w/c 9th jul

Mae everybody, Mick funny jokes haha do the docs suggest any treatments for the dementia? I know there's some meds for it,such a baffling illness that to me seems like its on the rise,or maybe we just hear more about it these days,Sam,stay hydrated out in the boot I shouldn't have bragged about how good I've been sleeping cuz last night was not great at all,I want to kick Winslow out! Ever since the fireworks he's been sleeping under my bed,now he's used to it and relentlessly scratches the door til I let him in,driving me crazy,then this morning he jumped on my bed and started crazily digging into the blankets trying to get cozy,ugh,much love to all and I hope we all have a happy AF Wednesday

Re: w/c 9th jul

MAE ALL...

Mick...human health can be a mystery. Just like the person who never smoked gets lung cancer. Hope they can sort something out. P&J probably bonded while you were on jolidays. Probably felt like they were left on their own, but now they know it's only temporary. Will they go van camping with you or is that a no-no?

Hey Snoop...always good to see you dance on in.

Sam...thought you were going to setup a beef...LOL Keep yourself hydrated today.

Pauly...goes to show who's the boss in your house. LOL

SF...thinking of you. Miss your thoughtful posts.

Boss is only here for today and tomorrow then off for 3 weeks holidays. Don't know how he managed that as he's not been here a year and we only start with 2 weeks off. Gotta say it's really pissing off the accountant. LOL The summer student he hired to cover for the Program Coordinator, who is taking the month of July off and hasn't been working a year yet as well, is a godsend. I'm getting all kinds of things done that I don't have the time or knowledge to do. I'll take one of her over the other 2 any day.
Just as push came to shove in the money department son got a couple of cheques in the mail. It's uncanny how things seem to always work out. Just need to learn not to worry and stress in the meantime. Hope we all have a Happy Hump Day....:smile:PPQP

Re: w/c 9th jul

Thursday here folks. Well yesterday I had my colonoscopy and what an adventure! No not the actual procedure but getting there - the car nearly crashed in the snow and we had to abandon it and walk in the dark up a big slippery hill and then some more to get here - and then trudge back down afterwards while I was still a bit sedated. Mr GB was with me and he was great - it was almost romantic! The procedure ruled out signs of colon cancer - found something else but I am not doing anything about it (probably related to childbirth). I have a meeting with the specialist coming up about my other pains in my abdomen.
Mick - I dont think your father-in-law's 'habit' will help the dementia. There is therapy as you know to help slow the process down.
PQ - looks like students and interns are propping up a lot of businesses and organizations. Thats one reason why some of us older qualified people get shoved off though. Mr GB finds out more tomorrow about his job - as do thousands of others in the place he works in.
Sam - not hot here as NZ is being covered in a snow storm. Lots of closed roads, transport problems.
Hi there Lav, SF, Pauly, Det, Pie and others - catch you later. Tonight the house is being taken over by a small group of 18-19 young women. They will be fine and I will remove myself to the other end of the house. So glad my daughter is sociable.

Re: w/c 9th jul

Happy hump day eve ABerooos,

TTops, my what a day! glad no scary stuff was discovered.

For cognitive decline blueberries are clinically proven to be powerful on several fronts. If they were in a patentable drug form they would
be selling like mad. Also omega 3 from krill.

Tomorrow eve after work I have my job interview finally! looking forward to that.

Dinner was duck egg omelette with marinara sauce. for dessert it will be cauliflower with garlic butter

I really do need to try and get out more. Feeling a bit lonely today. New job would be a huge help as it's much
closer and I wont be blowing 250 per month on gas just getting to work. Then I can more easily justify jaunts for
social things.

Lav, hot is one thing but adding the humidity... I feel your pain.

ok, more geeky studies await me....

gnight loves

[porqoui]

Re: w/c 9th jul

WOW...TT...glad you're ok. What an ordeal! We only have a summer student as her wages are being covered by a grant. It's just fortunate for me that she's one smart cookie and has saved me hours of learning what I need to know to accomplish the next requested task. I'm taking full advantage of her, especially with the boss gone! LOL

My new snack to go to...blueberries...thx Det. Great news about the job interview...we'll all be there with you. Yes those lonely feelings are going to crop up so be prepared for them. Maybe a good time to immerse yourself in your photos? Sort, categorize, edit, start a portfolio? The new book I'm reading has the main character making a living selling her photos. Started by selling "stock photos" (animals, food, historical sites, etc) to start a revenue stream then start showing some framed pictures where she could, coffee houses, malls, some photo galleries (for the bigger $'s). Worth a thought.

Pi...I miss your big smiling face. LOL Have a peaceful evening all....:smile:PPQP

Re: w/c 9th jul

Good evening Abbers,

Oh yes the heat & humidity are still hanging on, yuck!
On a good note Det you'll be happy to know that YB harvested 15 pounds of garlic this week, ha ha. Some of it will be saved for replanting before winter gets here but the rest is for eating pleasure I hope you interview turns out exactly the way you like

Mick, you must have to do a plant count every morning to be sure everything survived the night. I do the same with the chickens, ha ha!
Glad your bunnies are happy in their coed dorm!
Yes, my oldest grandson is calm, friendly, intelligent & eager to help & learn something new every day. The other guy seems to be stuck in a rut of constantly bucking every rule & regulation & his focus is on himself & what he can get. Very different brothers, for sure.

Sam, hope you did not melt in this excessive heat today!

Hi there SnoopStar!

Pauly, I have always had big dogs & have never allowed any of them to get on the beds - no way! I give them a cushioned dog bed in the corner if they want to use it but that's as far as it goes, haha!

PQ, I always enjoyed having nursing students on my unit especially if they were willing to get their hands dirty & jump in to help the regular stuff get the work done! Free labor is something to be valued, LOL

Wow TT, you did have an adventure. Glad it turned out OK despite the bumps in the road. I hope you can find the cause of your discomfort soon.
Your daughter sounds like she is enjoying herself at this stage, nice.

My grandson stayed up until 10 pm & he was just a joy today. Time for me to get some sleep too.
have a nice night everyone!

Re: w/c 9th jul

I refused to go outside today. I got hit so hard with the sleepies with this last heat wave. Today I needed to get shit done! Now without the photography gig, I was finally able to put my full attention on doing my own product photography. I really am having fun with this on-line thing. The whole process fascinates me and there is always something new to learn. Plus, I have met some of the coolest people who create amazing things. This is the shit that keeps me sober.

Mick--the prison and work analogy was spot on for the majority of jobs. Honestly, when did it get so bad?

PQ--I really hate boss's like the one you are describing. Problem is that if anything goes wrong they blame you. The worst are the one's who in private tell you "thank you, you are doing a great job"....back that up with a raise and a title....cuz we all know you are taking the credit. Also, I'm pretty up front that I am not a nice person. If you want someone to walk all over and kiss your ass...I'm not your girl.

You guys were mentioning the KKK....which made me think of an event that happened the other night. After my shift at 11pm I stopped into a gas station. There were two black employees and a black customer. The customer was going on and on and I could not really understand all the slang he was using. He walked out of the store and both of the employees apologized to me. Apparently, the customer was making racial statements....both said, "this is 2017, we don't support that or think that way and we are sorry you had to hear that". Racial stuff goes both ways, and both sides need to step up if we are to make any progress.

Found this super cool songwriter place close to home. The people were amazing talent, I could go there every night. And the best part---the food rocked---kale/brussel sprout salad. Little pricey, but much cheaper than when I was knocking back drinks.

Thinking I may get a tattoo. Nothing too crazy...but, crazy enough.

One of my co-workers shares on FB her struggles with booze. Honestly, I commend her for her bravery....because all I did was hide. And its not all that..."I'll share now that I am recovered BS". It is the real deal--little clip-its as she tries to stay sober. To boot she is friends with almost everyone at work. The very last people I was openly telling I had an AL problem was work.

Found out another friend is back drinking hard. It really is hard to know how to best support someone. I really hate this shit.

Pauly--we went to the black sand beaches when we were in Hawaii years ago. When you said it was creepy---instantly I thought---"that's it, the place to spread my ashes for all eternity". My love of Stephen King. My social has three 6's, as does hubby's. We crack up because everything is literally 6's with us. They just gave me a raise at the store...66 cents. Who gets 66 cents? Me.

Have a great Thursday!
