    w/c 12th

    morn all...how are things today? 12th nov..jeez where has this year gone,definitely toilet roll scenario!well the sun is out here today,was going metal detecting ,but called off,so time for a brew ..rabbits are out playing..well not quite correct both in the greenhouse sunning themselves!
    ok lets have a brew.

    hiya det ...I hope you are better tday mate...who are these w.nkers that keep trying to break in ? did you always have this or is this just recent?yes you are right to stay af...then you can deal with the issues ,its pointless trying it with a head full of booze..be positive ....dont give in ..yes I know it sounds easy to say,but every single person who has quit has gone thru that mill ..and so can you ..just have the strength to stand against it ...I dont like going on but it frustrates me seeing you do so good and then on the spur of the moment you chuck it all up in the air so come on mate...you and you alone can change it.we can help butyou are the one that has to have the guts to say no when it feels a bit tuff....harsh I know...but the alternative aint so clever.You can do this!!!!!!!!

    hiya ppqp...so did you get up to anything outside?did the weather hold up for you?

    hi pauly...hows your weekend going?up to anything?

    hiya Lav ..brew time ..did you find the missing chicken?mebbes you can tempt her with do nuts? 18 degs ..isnt bad think ours is slightly lower this morning...so here is a hand warming brew...

    big yoo hoo .to everyone

    here you go ..the marks and sparks xmas ad..its funny ,because at one point he says something that everyone has kicked off on

    Viewers have mocked the Marks and Spencer Christmas advert after claiming that the burglar featured in the clip swears at Paddington Bear.

    The advert sees the famous children's character mistake a thief for Father Christmas before proceeding to help him return all the presents he has stolen from people’s homes to their rightful owners.

    Towards the end of the clip, the burglar thanks Paddington for helping him see the error of his ways, telling him: “Oh thank you, little bear.”

    However, some viewers thought that instead of ‘thank you’, the thief had said ‘f*** you’.

      MAE ALL...

      Mick...thanks for sharing the M&S video. It was hard to hear the F*K You, especially since you said it was thank you. Wonder what I would have heard if you hadn't said that.

      Pauly...as Mick says I think a lot of us blew our budget on toilet paper this year. How are the allergies? Have they settled down a little?

      Det...what kind of prescription did you get. Something for the food allergy or for the booze. Inquiring minds want to know. Do you think the burglars are after your guns or did they get them all the first time?

      Lav...did the chick show up? Hope your AWOL chicken returned safe and sound.

      Gorgeous day yesterday and I did get out just to do some walking. Today is going to be a repeat, except I might be meeting up with a bride later this afternoon.
      Have a Super Sober Sunday all....:smile:PPQP

        Happy Sunday ABerooos,

        yes Mick, I'm in command and I must make this stick like cement. Sorry you didn't get out detecting today.
        it's cold here but at least sunny and pleasant now.

        Lav, seems something was going on with your chickens?

        Pauly, money thing is a huge stressor and we need to not let to get to us so much even though it's so damn hard.

        PPQ, dunno what they are after, damn punks. Yes, med for bolstering my defenses against AL. Happy to go into
        detail by PM anytime.

        everyone enjoy your day.

        be well loves

          Hi everyone. Had trouble getting on to the site and this will have to be quick. Now at NewarK waiting for flights back home it's going to take a long time. I still haven't read back so am not up with the play of things. I was nearly knocked over by two young guys in a store in Upper West Side. I don't like the violence, inequalities, noise and dirt here. There are very positive things of course but overall I don't think I would like to live in New York at all. Catch you later.

            Good evening Abbers,

            have a safe trip home TT!
            I would not want to live in NYC either. A day long visit there is enough for the likes of me

            Mick, I enjoyed the Christmas ad, ha ha!
            My chicken is still AWOL so I guess she was nabbed by something bigger & stronger like a fox or something.
            Still cold here but just a little better than yesterday.

            Pualy, stay calm, everything will improve. Finances can be shaky at times but they improve. Keep a good watch on unnecessary spending, limit eating out & all that. You'll be surprised how quickly things turn around. This has been a quick year, honestly.

            PQ, glad to hear you are having some milder weather this weekend. I just read that Boston has broken a 116 year record for cold weather on this date, ouch!

            Det, good to see you & hope things continue to improve for you as well. You don't by chance have a security camera focused on your door, do you? It would be nice to see who these idiots are & the police could pick them up. We worry about break ins around here too, there's been several on our road since we moved in, makes me nervous. Keep taking good care of you!!

            Hello to the rest of the crowd & wishing everyone a peaceful night!

                Mae everybody,Mick hope everything is ok with Jeeves,Det,I've always read that once a house gets hit it's some % of getting hit again,hopefully they won't be back I feckin hate thieves!TT,you're probably back home safe and sound now,I've never been to NYC and I'm not sure I'd even want to go unless I was with a local who knew their way around,such a huge,condensed city,I'd get lost and I'd be scared,wrapped some Christmas presents last night,,its coming rather I want it to or not and I'd rather not have a bad attitude about it,just make it a happy time,much love to all and wishes for a great AF Monday

                  Mick..sorry to hear about Jeeves hope he's doing better. Man, you'll be glad to see 2017 behind you!

                  Lav..see your green light is on so we'll probably X-post again.

                  It was an extremely busy day today, don't know why but I'm exhausted. And hungry, didn't stop for lunch. Off to see what I can scratch up. Peaceful night all...:smile:PPQP

                    Good evening Abbers,

                    Hey PQ - I see your green light too

                    Mick, sorry about Jeeves. I hope he gets well soon, poor fella.
                    Take care of yourself too!

                    Pauly, I have been picking up Christmas gifts here & there but nothing wrapped yet. You win, ha ha!!!

                    Not much going on here today, a little work but I had that done by noon. Spent the rest of the day doing pretty much nothing.
                    Looking forward to the return of some sunshine tomorrow along with my energy, LOL

                    Hello to Det, hope you are OK.
                    Hello to everyone else.

                    Peace to all tonight!

                        hiya Lav...can we have our sunshine back?trade you for some fog?oh and I will throw in a brew...

                        big hello to everyone else.....

                        my kids are running around the house making a hell of a noise.

                        Shouting things like, "We're fcking freezing, let us in!"

                        A duck walks into a pub and orders a pint of beer and a ham sandwich.
                        The barman looks at him and says,
                        "Hang on! You're a duck."
                        "I see your eyes are working," replies the duck.
                        "And you can talk" exclaims the barman.
                        "I see your ears are working, too," says the duck.
                        "Now if you don't mind, can I have my beer and my sandwich please?"
                        "Certainly, sorry about that, says the barman as he pulls the duck's pint.
                        "It's just we don't get many ducks in this pub. What are you doing
                        round this way?"
                        "I'm working on the building site across the road," Explains the duck.
                        "I'm a plasterer."
                        The flabbergasted barman cannot believe the duck and wants to learn
                        more, but takes the hint when the duck pulls out a newspaper from his
                        bag and proceeds to read it. So, the duck reads his paper, drinks his beer, eats his sandwich, bids the barman good day and leaves. The same thing happens for two weeks.
                        Then one day the circus comes to town.
                        The ringmaster comes into the pub for a pint and the barman says to him
                        "You're with the circus, aren't you? Well, I know this duck that
                        could be just brilliant in your circus. He talks, drinks beer, eats
                        sandwiches, reads the newspaper and everything!" "Sounds marvelous,"says the ringmaster, handing over his business card.
                        "Get him to give me a call."
                        So the next day when the duck comes into the pub the barman says,
                        "Hey Mr. Duck, I reckon I can line you up with a top job, paying
                        really good money."
                        "I'm always looking for the next job," says the duck.
                        "Where is it?"
                        "At the circus" says the barman.
                        "The circus?" repeats the duck.
                        "That's right," replies the barman.
                        The duck asks again, "with the big tent?"
                        Yeah," the barman replies.
                        "With all the animals who live in cages, and performers who live in
                        caravans?" says the duck.
                        "Of course," the barman replies.
                        "And the tent has canvas sides and a big canvas roof with a hole in
                        the middle?" persists the duck.
                        "That's right!" says the barman.
                        The duck shakes his head in amazement, and says
                        ...
                        "What the F##k would they want with a plasterer ??!"

                            Mick...foggy here as well this morning. And dark. Had to drop the car off for an oil change so was out the door early. Glad Jeeves is doing better and I bet they love their heat pads. No wonder they won't come in the house to stay. Couldn't find anything to scratch a meal out of so ordered pizza. LOL Another busy day today, preparing for a scheduled power outage tonight and then got the word it has to be rescheduled. At least I don't have to start up all the computers in the morning.

                            Pauly...will keep an eye on the thread this weekend when I can. We're having our Christmas Craft Sale at work on Fri/Sat. Remember, deep breaths if things get rough.

                            Det...hope your day wasn't as long today. Glad you're in good spirits, keep it up.

                            Lav...just a shot out to you.

                            Have a peaceful evening all....:smile:PPQP

                              Good evening Abbers,

                              Feeling a bit sad myself - just found out my granddaughter fell on the playground at school today & has fractured a bone in her hand. She's getting xrays & probably being casted now. Ugh, I really thought one of the grandsons would be the first to break a bone. Guess I thought wrong, poor kid. Her mother is rather upset too, I may have to take a ride over to see my girls tomorrow.

                              Mick, 24 hr care of any patient (bunny or human) is always a lot of work! I'm sure you are doing your very best!

                              Det, glad you are on plan again, yay!

                              Pauly, I'll gladly give you my number if you feel like you want to text me. You also need some Lavanitude lessons - don't let your mother get under your skin girl!!!!

                              Hello to PQ & anyone else checking in later.

                              Have a nice night everyone. I'm going to try not to worry myself about things I cannot control
