    Re: w/c 11th

    morning all ...how are we today then? hope all is well...not a lot happening here at the moment ..dentist on monday,...car garage thursday ..so my social calendar is jam packed!!just how I like it ..weather isnt too good this morning ..between the rain and the cold ,I reckon we are probably about 6 weeks behind in growing terms!
    so brew time then...

    hiya Lav...wow onions and garlic..you are doing good ...I think I will be doing a lot of growing in the greenhouse or shall we say the rabbits summerhouse!Those butterflies looked really good ...there is a market for them I would guess ..as for Amy ...my feeling is she will go back up north ..if a vacancy comes up ...there is a lot more up there for her .whats your weather like over there?

    hiya det ...so how did you manage to get that vid from your phone onto this site? explain to me in baby words....glad you are enjoying the drumming

    hiya pauly hows you then ...didnt realise you had ditched messenger.hows you today then? are you good ..hows the sleep doing ?is it ok now?

    hiya ppqp...yep usually in the garden at this time ...but aint hapnin.Is the hard drive for your own machine or the one at work?when I was younger I read asll the Perry Mason lawyer books..they were pretty good.

    hello everyone else ..how are you all ?jump in a quick hia Im ok is fine ...

    Sister Mary burst into the office of the principal of a parochial school in a very advanced state of agitation.

    "Father!" she cried, "just wait until you hear this"!

    The priest led the sister to a chair, and said, "Now just calm down and tell me what has you so excited"?

    "Well, Father" the nun began, "I was just walking down the hall to the chapel and I heard some of the older boys wagering money"!

    "A serious infraction, indeed" said the priest!

    "But that's not what has me so shocked, Father", replied the nun, "it was what they were wagering on! They had wagered on a contest to see who could urinate the highest on the wall"!

    "What an incredible wager" exclaimed the priest, "What did you do"?

    "Well, I hit the roof, father".



    To which the priest replied.... "How much did you win"?

    It seems that God received a delegation of animals complaining of their lot in life.

    There was an elephant, a giraffe, and a hen.

    The elephant complained, "Lord, I HATE THIS TRUNK YOU have given me. It gets in the way, and makes me look like a fool"!

    The Lord said, "Don't complain. It lets you pick up food, drink water, etc. without getting wet"!

    Next the giraffe complained, "Lord, I HATE THIS LONG NECK! It makes me top heavy, I get terrible neck pains, and people laugh at me"!

    The Lord said, "Don't complain. It lets you pick the best fruit and leaves from the high branches, and allows you to see a distance".

    The hen spoke up, "Lord, I don't want to complain..... but either let me have a bigger arse or smaller eggs".

    How Many of These put a Smile on your Face?

    I met this bloke with a didgeridoo and he was playing Dancing Queen on it. I thought, 'That's Aboriginal.'


    This lorry full of tortoises collided with a van full of terrapins. It was a turtle disaster.


    I told my girlfriend I had a job in a bowling alley. She said 'Tenpin?' I said, 'No, permanent.'


    I went in to a pet shop. I said, 'Can I buy a goldfish?' The guy said, 'Do you want an aquarium?' I said, 'I don't care what star sign it is.'


    I bought some Armageddon cheese today, and it said on the packet. 'Best before End'


    I went to buy a watch, and the man in the shop said 'Analogue.' I said 'No, just a watch.'


    I went into a shop and I said, 'Can someone sell me a kettle.' The bloke said 'Kenwood' I said, 'Where is he then?'


    My mate is in love with two schoolbags. He's bi-satchel.


    I went to the doctor. I said to him 'I'm frightened of lapels.' He said, 'You've got cholera.'


    I met the bloke who invented crosswords today. I can't remember his name, its P something T something R.


    I was reading this book today, The History of Glue. I couldn't put it down.


    I phoned the local ramblers club today, but the bloke who answered just went on and on.


    The recruitment consultant asked me 'What do you think of voluntary work? I said 'I wouldn't do it if you paid me.'


    I was in the jungle and there was this monkey with a tin opener. I said, 'You don't need a tin opener to peel a banana.' He said, 'No, this is for the custard.'


    This policeman came up to me with a pencil and a piece of very thin paper. He said, 'I want you to trace someone for me.'


    I told my mum that I'd opened a theatre. She said, 'Are you having me on?' I said, 'Well I'll give you an audition, but I'm not promising you anything.'


    I phoned the local builders today, I said to them 'Can I have a skip outside my house?' He said, 'I'm not stopping you!'


    This cowboy walks in to a German car showroom and he says 'Audi!'


    I fancied a game of darts with my mate. He said, 'Nearest the bull goes first' He went 'Baah' and I went 'Moo' He said 'You're closest'


    I was driving up the motorway and my boss phoned me and he told me I'd been promoted. I was so shocked I swerved the car. He phoned me again to say I'd been promoted even higher and I swerved again. He then made me managing director and I went right off into a tree. The police came and asked me what had happened.. I said 'I careered off the road'


    I visited the offices of the RSPCA today. It's tiny: you couldn't swing a cat in there.


    I was stealing things in the supermarket today while balanced on the shoulders of a couple of vampires. I was charged with shoplifting on two counts.


    I bought a train ticket to France and the ticket seller said 'Eurostar' I said 'Well I've been on telly but I'm no Dean Martin.


    I phoned the local gym and I asked if they could teach me how to do the splits.. He said, 'How flexible are you?' I said, 'I can't make Tuesdays or Thursdays.'


    I went to the local video shop and I said, 'Can I borrow Batman Forever?' He said, 'No, you'll have to bring it back tomorrow'.


    A waiter asks a man, 'May I take your order, sir?' 'Yes,' the man replies. 'I'm just wondering, exactly how do you prepare your chickens?' 'Nothing special, sir. We just tell them straight out that they're going to die'.


    St. Peter steps up to the tee on a par three and hits one long and straight. It reaches the green.

    Jesus is up next. He slices it. It heads over the fence into traffic on an adjacent street. Bounces off a truck, onto the roof of a nearby shack and into the rain gutter, down the drain spout and onto a lily pad at the edge of a lake. A frog jumps up and snatches the ball in his mouth. An eagle swoops down, grabs the frog. As the eagle flies over the green, the frog croaks and drops the ball. It’s in the hole.

    Saint Peter looks at Jesus, exasperated. "Are you gonna play golf"? he asks "Or are you just gonna fck around"?

        Re: w/c 11th

        Good evening Abbers,

        My day was spent doing things I didn't plan to do like making sure YB got to his doctor appointment, ha ha! We also dropped off all the info for the accountant - tax time. Our taxes are so confusing we can't figure out how to do them anymore so we pay the accountant. Geez.

        Mick, today it was 40 degrees, sunny, windy plus we had a little rain mixed with snowflakes - the whole 9 yards!!!
        YB has had spinach & lettuce growing in the greenhouse all winter, it's been good. As far as planting anything outside it's going to be quite a while until we get past the frosty nights. He's been learning a whole lot about growing things from the Amish guys he drives around. They really know how to grow stuff, ha ha!

        Heard from Sam today - he sounds good, busy but good!

        Pauly, you do know that the insomnia is age related, right? It happens to all of us sooner or later. Just keep trying different ways to improve your sleep, that's the best we can do.

        Where's the rest of the crowd today? Hello to everyone & wishing everyone a nice night!
        Tomorrow I hope to get back to butterfly-ing

        Lav

          Heyo ABeroooodles!

          Lav, you have all kinds of great veggies popping up... very nice, especially considering the darn weather.

          Pauly, here's something that may help... I've heard raves about it from folks i know personally:
          Robb Wolf - Paleo Solution Podcast - Episode 27 - Doc Parsley

          Mick, I used google photos to upload pics and videos. From your google mail page there is an icon in the upper right that looks like a square
          made of a bunch of tiny square. Click that and scroll down to 'photos' and you can name albums and upload from your computer. Nifty thing is that
          when I take photos or videos on my phone they automatically upload to there when I'm within range of a wifi spot. Hopefully that makes sense.

          PPQ, hopefully yer not frozen solid....

          bunch of errands today and had a very nice long chat with my dad. All systems 'go' and feeling pretty nifty. Got out this morn for a short but good
          hike with a buddy.

          trivia for the day: what we know of as the tambourine is actually an Arabic instrument that dates back to at least the 7th century called a 'RIQQ'. Just amazing
          the sounds that come out of the little thing when played correctly: Riqq solo - YouTube

          snow is falling and more to come...a lot more fun without being sick from AL that's for darn sure.

          everyone have a stellar night and as always be well.

            MAE ALL...

            Home from a very poorly attended garden AGM. 9 out of 40 people showed up! More than I expected as we woke to frozen rain which quickly turned to snow and continued all day. Supposed to let up tonight sometime and then start again on Saturday. Got 4 inches and forecast is for up to 10 inches by Sunday. At least it's not -22F.

            Mick...hard drive was for work, couldn't come at a worse time. Home computer is making all kinds of noise so may have to deal with that one soon. Dentist trip just a check up?

            Pauly...if you ever do find the cure for insomnia please share.

            Lav...we were 30 here today and it actually felt like a heat wave. I can handle the snow if it's not freezing out there. The ruts are getting a little difficult to maneuver though.

            Det...yup, dealing with that snow without a hangover is so much better. I hope we're over our freezing temps. It seems this winter has gone on forever. Apparently March is supposed to be our snowiest month. I don't think it can top February!

            Time to unwind and off to bed soon. Hopefully I'll catch up with work tomorrow as it's supposed to be quiet....:smile:PPQP

                  Mick...you stay safe out there, at least the dentist trip isn't till Monday. Hope the internet comes back soon.

                  Pauly...I haven't made homemade pizza in ages. Sounds like a menu choice for dinner tonight.

                    Johnny and his class mates had all been asked to bring something to school to show the class that would explain what their father did for a living. Everybody was impressed by Johnny's oxy-acetylene torch and face mask.

                    After school Johnny waited outside the gates for his mother to collected him. A stanger approached. "Hello" said the stranger, "You look like a nice boy, I'm supposed to take you home"

                    "OK" says Johnny and happily trots off with the strange fellow.

                    Along the way the stranger asks "Have you ever heard the word penis?"

                    "No" replies Johnny.

                    "Have you ever heard the word masturbation?"

                    "No" replies Johnny.

                    "How about bugger?"

                    "Look, mister," says Johnny "I'm not a real welder"

                    Charles stood over his tee shot for what seemed an eternity, looking up, looking down, measuring the distance, figuring the wind direction and speed.

                    Generally, he was driving his golf partner nuts. Finally he says, "What the hell is taking so long? Hit the ball"!!!

                    Charles answers, "My wife is up there watching me from the clubhouse. I want to make this a perfect shot".

                    His golf partner ponders this for a moment and then replies, "Forget it dude, you don't stand a snowball's chance in hell of hitting her from here"!

                    A class assignment was to interview an 'Old Person' about their life...

                    The granddaughter asked her Grandma 'What was the biggest historical event that happened during your lifetime?'

                    Grandma said 'It must have been the Moonwalk'.

                    Granddaughter looked disappointed and said, 'Why was that dance was so important to you?'


                    An air traffic control tower suddenly lost communication with a small twin engine aircraft. A moment later the tower land line rang and was answered by one of the employees.

                    The passenger riding with the pilot who lost communications was on a cellular phone and yelled "Mayday, mayday!! The pilot had an instant and fatal heart attack. I grabbed his cell phone out of his pocket and he had told me before we took off he had the tower on his speed dial memory. I am flying upside down at 18,000 feet and traveling at 180 mph. Mayday, Mayday!!!

                    The employee in the tower had put him on speaker phone immediately. "Calm down, we acknowledge you and we’ll guide you down after a few questions. The first thing is not to panic, remain calm!!".

                    He began his series of questions:

                    Tower : How do you know you are traveling at 18,000 feet?

                    Aircraft: I can see that it reads 18,000 feet on the Altimeter dial in front of me.

                    Tower: Okay, that’s good, remain calm. How do you know you’re traveling at 180 mph?

                    Aircraft: I can see that it reads 180 mph on the Airspeed dial in front of me."

                    Tower: Okay, this is great so far, but it’s heavily overcast, so how do you know you're flying upside down?"

                    Aircraft: The shit in my pants is running out of my shirt collar.

                    A school teacher asked her students to make a sentence containing the expression "I presume".

                    One little girl held up her hand and said: "Yesterday my mother hand washed the dinner dishes and I presumed that the dishwasher was broken."

                    "Very good" said the teacher.

                    Another one said: "This morning, my father drove the Volkswagen out of the garage, I presume that the BMW wouldn't start."

                    "That's excellent" says the teacher.

                    Little Johnny at the back of the classroom gets up and says: "Yesterday I saw grandpa leave the house with a newspaper under his arm and headed for the bush, I presume that......."

                    The teacher interrupted him and said, "I stopped you because you have no idea what your grandfather was going to do, so you can't presume anything."

                    Johnny says, "Please Teacher, let me finish my sentence."

                    The teacher says, "Very well. Continue."

                    "As I was saying, I saw my grandpa heading for the bush with a newspaper under his arm. I presume he was going for a crap because he can't read."

                    I'm not saying let's go kill all the stupid people. I'm just saying let's remove all the warning labels and let the problem work itself out.

                    I changed my car horn to gunshot sounds. People move out of the way much faster now.

                    You can tell a lot about a woman's mood just by her hands. If they are holding a gun, she's probably unhappy.

                    Gone are the days when girls cooked like their mothers. Now they drink like their fathers.

                    You know that tingly little feeling you get when you really like someone you've just met? That's common sense leaving your body.

                    I don't like making plans for the day....because then the word "premeditated" gets thrown around in the courtroom.

                    I didn't make it to the gym today. That makes 1,508 days in a row.

                    I decided to change calling the bathroom "the John" and renamed it "the Jim". I feel so much better saying "I went to the Jim this morning".

                    Dear paranoid people, who check behind shower curtains for murderers: If you find one, what's your plan?

                    Everyone has a right to be stupid. Politicians just abuse the privilege. (just remember Einstein's comment, "There is a major difference between intelligence and stupidity; intelligence has its limits.")

                    Seniors Under Attack
                    THIS IS HAPPENING RIGHT HERE IN OUR OWN COUNTRY!

                    We Must Stop This Immediately

                    Have you noticed that stairs are getting steeper ? Groceries are heavier.
                    And, everything is farther away. Yesterday I walked to the corner and I was
                    dumbfounded to discover how long our street had become!
                    And, you know, people are less considerate now, especially the young ones.
                    They speak in whispers all the time! If you ask them to speak up they just
                    keep repeating themselves, endlessly mouthing the same silent message until
                    they're red in the face! What do they think I am, a lip reader?

                    I also think they are much younger than I was at the same age. On the other
                    hand, people my own age are so much older than I am. I ran into an old
                    friend the other day and she has aged so much that she didn't even recognize
                    me.

                    I got to thinking about the poor dear while I was combing my hair this
                    morning, and in doing so, I glanced at my own reflection well, REALLY NOW -
                    even mirrors are not made the way they used to be!
                    Another thing, everyone drives so fast these days! You're risking life and
                    limb if you happen to pull onto the freeway in front of them. All I can say
                    is, their brakes must wear out awfully fast, the way I see them screech and
                    swerve in my rear view mirror.

                    Clothing manufacturers are less civilized these days. Why else would they
                    suddenly start labeling a size 32 waist pant as 40? Do they think no one
                    notices? The people who make bathroom scales are pulling the same prank. Do
                    they think I actually 'believe' the number I see on that dial? HA! I would
                    never let myself weigh that much! Just who do these people think they're
                    fooling?

                    I'd like to call up someone in authority to report what's going on -- but
                    the telephone company is in on the conspiracy too: they've printed the phone
                    books in suchsmall type that no one could ever find a number in there!
                    All I can do is pass along this warning: WE ARE UNDER ATTACK!

                    Unless something drastic happens, pretty soon everyone will have to suffer
                    these awful indignities.
                    PLEASE PASS THIS ON TO EVERYONE YOU KNOW AS SOON AS POSSIBLE SO WE CAN GET
                    THIS CONSPIRACY STOPPED!

                    PS: I am sending this to you in a larger font size, because something has
                    happened to my computer's fonts - they are smaller than they once were.

                        Greetings Abbers,

                        Still cold, still windy but dry. Can’t wait for next week’s nor’easter, the fourth storm this year
                        Crap, all I want is a touch of spring.

                        Mick, we keep sending storms your way. PQ sends me her storms, ha ha! Glad you have your internet back

                        Det, you sound good. Enjoy your curry!

                        PQ, sorry to hear about more snow upnyour way. This winter just keeps going & going unfortunately.
                        I am absolutely paranoid about ice. A good friend, exactly my age fell & fractured her pelvis, very painful. Be careful out there!

                        Pauly, how about you put your foot down with your daughter & her ex? Nothing could keep me from slamming the door in his face. Wonder if he has any outstanding warrants anywhere? You could always report seeing him anonymously.....just saying

                        Working in my shop where it’s peaceful & quiet!
                        Wishing everyone a nice night!

                        Lav

                          Lav,I don't think he has any warrants cuz they've been pulled over a couple of times and usually the cops run that stuff,,nothing ever came up,stressed a bit cuz hubs is changing jobs again,2 years with this company but they've gotten slow so he's moving on,hope it works out,,,eeks
                          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!
