    Yay!!!...just got my new Toshiba keyboaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

    According to a poll, FIFA is the most popular game amongst men.

    With women it's Guess Why I'm Upset

    Tonight my wife was absolutely the center of attention as she wore a stunning "Wicked Witch" costume complete with lots of green face makeup.

    My wife was having a great time, but for some reason the bride was absolutely furious.

    I was playing Scrabble with my girlfriend when I put down AWORD.

    She said, "That's not a word!"

    I said, "It quite clearly is."

    How long does it take a giraffe to be sick.....

    It was many years ago since the embarrassing day when a young woman, with a baby in her arms, entered his butcher shop and confronted him with the news that the baby was his and asked what was he going to do about it?

    Finally he offered to provide her with free meat until the boy was 16.

    She agreed.

    He had been counting the years off on his calendar, and one day the teenager, who had been collecting the meat each week, came into the shop and said, "I'll be 16 tomorrow".

    "I know," said the butcher with a smile, "I've been counting too, tell your mother, when you take this parcel of meat home, that it is the last free meat she'll get, and watch the expression on her face".

    When the boy arrived home he told his mother.

    The woman nodded and said, "Son, go back to the butcher and tell him I have also had free bread, free milk, and free groceries for the last 16 years and watch the expression on his face"!

    A husband in his back yard is trying to fly a kite. He throws the kite up in the air, the wind catches it for a few seconds, then it comes crashing back down to earth. He tries this a few more times with no success.

    All the while, his wife is watching from the kitchen window, muttering to herself how men need to be told how to do everything.

    She opens the window and yells to her husband, "You need a piece of tail".


    The man turns with a confused look on his face and says,

    "Make up your mind. Last night, you told me to go fly a kite".

    A Duke was hunting in the forest with his men-at-arms and servants when he came across a tree. Upon it, archery targets were painted and smack in the middle of each was an arrow.

    "Who is this incredibly fine archer"? cried the duke. "I must find him"!

    After continuing through the forest for a few miles he came across a small boy carrying a bow and arrow. Eventually the boy admitted that it was he who shot the arrows plumb in the center of all the targets.

    "You didn't just walk up to the targets and hammer the arrows into the middle, did you"? asked the duke worriedly.

    "No my lord. I shot them from a hundred paces. I swear it by all that I hold holy".

    "That is truly astonishing," said the duke. "I hereby admit you into my service".

    The boy thanked him profusely.

    "But I must ask one favor in return," the duke continued. "You must tell me how you came to be such an outstanding shot".

    "Well," said the boy, "first I fire the arrow at the tree...
    ...and then I paint the target around it".

    As my five year old son and I were headed to McDonald's one day, we passed a car accident. Usually when we see something terrible like that, we say a prayer for those who might be hurt, so I pointed and said to my son, "We should pray."

    From the back seat I heard his earnest request: "Please, God, don't let those cars block the entrance to McDonald's."

    A little girl was out with her Grandmother when they came across a couple of dogs mating on the sidewalk.

    "What are they doing, Grandma" asked the little girl?

    The grandmother was embarrased, so she said, "The dog on top has hurt his paw, and the one underneath is carrying him to the doctor".

    They're just like people, aren't they Grandma" said the little one?

    "How do you mean" asked the Grandma?

    "Offer someone a helping hand", said the little girl, "and they screw you every time"!

    Two medical students were walking along the street when they saw an old man walking with his legs spread apart. He was stiff legged and walking slowly.

    One of the students said to his friend: "I'm sure the poor old man has Petry Syndrome. Those people walk just like that".

    The other student says: "No, I don't think so. The old man surely has Zovitzki Syndrome. He walks slowly and his legs are apart just as we learned in class".

    Since they couldn't agree they decided to ask the old man. They approached him and one of the students said to him: "We're medical students and couldn't help but notice the way you walk, but we couldn't agree on the syndrome you might have. Could you tell us what it is"?

    The old man said: "I'll tell you, but first you must tell me what you two fine medical students think".

    One of the students said: "I think it's Petry Syndrome".

    The old man said: "You thought....... But you are wrong".

    Then the other student said: "I think you have Zovitzki Syndrome".

    The old man said: "You thought........ But you are wrong".

    So they asked him: "Well, old timer, what do you have"?

    The old man said: "I thought it was gas........... But I was wrong"!

        Re: 28thv..

        Greetings Abbers,

        Cool & cloudy here today ~ seasonal I guess.

        Mick, you were supposed to sleep during that extra hour buddy - duh, ha ha!
        I hope you detecting was good today. We change our clocks next weekend I believe

        PQ, good getting things done, nice!
        I rescued my big pot of parsley from the garage where I stored it hearing about frost coming last week. It's now sitting in a corner of my kitchen in front of a sunny window. With a little luck I should have plenty of fresh parsley this winter.

        Sam, our cable company put us thru a lot of crap like that then they fixed things & we don't get anymore warnings like that. I also have a Sonos radio in my kitchen that uses the internet & had to put it away until the cable company got their sh*t together.

        Det, my DIL is one of a kind - really.
        Your new lens sounds cool, I'll bet you have a lot of fun creating funky stuff.

        SK - just to be clear - I am NOT sick. It was my daughter & her family dealing with a nasty stomach virus.
        Sorry to hear about your neighbor, geez. Is she having any surgery or treatment of any kind?
        It's so hard to make new friends at this age & once you do you kind of want to hang on to them, right?

        Pauly, where are you this weekend?

        Cyn, I am so saddened by the shooting in Pittsburgh yesterday. I can't even imagine a 97 year Holocaust survivor dying in that fashion.
        I cared for a few Holocaust survivors in the hospital over the years & met with a group of them at St. Joseph's University (near Philly) when my daughter was in high school. The school wanted to be sure that the younger generations learned more than what was written in their textbooks. I went along & was grateful I did. Listening to their stories was heart wrenching.
        I hope you had a good day today!

        Have a peaceful night everyone!
        Lav

          Re: 28thv..

          Hi all. Sorry for the mix up Lav. My neighbour has 2 choices; 7 hr surgery with 3month recovery, she'd lose her job and the other choice wait'n'see She is in the W&S, but it's gotten worse this week.

          Viv just left after a nice visit.

          Here's a question; 140 languages are spoken in Toronto and all seem to get along. If a new child foreign or not came to class the teacher would ask about their country, history etc. and always said, "you're welcome here" why do we have so much conflict in the U.S.?

            Re: 28thv..

            morning all ...a frosty morning over here,but sunny as well...Went detecting yesterday ,but kicked it into touch early ..the weather turned nasty,plus we didnt find much either ,,both rabbits are out playing ,both in the garage and the garden ,..Imalso scratching my head over the railway over a couple of ideas I have .
            Julie is meeting with someone today re putting a care /homehelp package together for her dad ..He has been really stubborn over this ,but its crunch time for him .I appreciate that he isnt in control of his faculties all the time ,but he has also to realise the toll its taking on Julie .I aint prepared to let that happen ,as much as it may seem horrible ,she has a life too ..hopefully this will help iron it out.
            its 00 days today since Julie quit drinking ..
            brew time ...

            Hiya SK.how are you today then?I dont think your conflict question is limited to just the US..I think it is more pronounced because of the gun laws ,ours are a bit moreprohibitive ,but there are plenty of stabbings and non ballistic murders /assaults here ..

            hiya Lav ,how are you ? good I hope ..no I ddidnt use that hour for sleep...I agree with you ...to survive the camps of the war to be shot by some scumbag with a warped ideaological view is unbelievable ..I think I told you ..about the time I met a survivor ..if so I apologise ..when I was stationed in Germany we visited the site of Bergen Belsen concentration camp several times ..as you go into the the camp there is a little museum with lots of photos etc ...One photo showed a woman sitting tied to a chair ..the camp doctor ,I think was Mengele at thetime he was experimenting on people ..anyway they had cut the muscle on the back of the womans leg and stitched it all back ..dont know ewhat they were doing but it looked a horrible mess ..We actually said to each other about it ,when a little voice behind us said "that is me".it was a little lady ,and she showed us her leg ..Needless to say we were moved to tears and again amongst one of my more humbling experiences in life.
            no chance of me keeping parsley ...I know2 lawn mowers that would have it away in seconds!!

            hiya Sam nice to see you mate ,.be safe and well friend .

            wow ppqp ...short and sweet ...how are you then?all good ..?you at work this week? In what role?hope it goes well.
            hiya pauly you ok ? hope you havent been laid low by some bug ..

            right peeps going to get on and do a bit..take care ..

            I find it ironic that the colours red, white, and blue stand for freedom only until they're flashing behind you.

            A young lad knocked on the door last night and said "Trick or Treat?"
            I says "What have you come as?"
            He said "A werewolf."
            I said "But you haven't got a costume on, you're just in normal clothes"
            He said "Well it's not a full moon yet is it, dckhead?"

            where do astronauts leave their cars?
            - at parking meteors

            Why do mice have small ballls?
            - Cos not that many know how to dance.

            What has two legs & flies???
            A pair of trousers!!!

            Mary had a little lamb, she tied it to a pylon
            10,000 volts went up it's ass
            and turned it's wool to nylon

            Blind man goes into a shop and starts swinging is dog around his head
            " can I help you? " asks the assistant
            "no, thanks...I'm just looking around "

            A guy walks into a pet shop and asks to buy a wasp.
            The shop owner states that they don't sell them, to which the guy repies "but you've got one in the window"?

            How do you kill a circus?
            Go for the juggler.

            An Alberta cowboy was over seeing his herd in a remote mountainous pasture when suddenly a brand new BMW advanced out of a cloud of dust towards him. The driver, a young man in a Brioni suit, Gucci shoes, Ray Ban sunglasses and YSL tie, leans out the window and asks the cowboy "If I tell you how many cows and calves you have in your herd, will you give me a calf?"
            The cowboy looks at the man, obviously a yuppie, then looks at his peacefully grazing herd and calmly answers, "Sure, why not?"
            The yuppie parks his car, whips out his Dell notebook computer, connects to his Cingular RAZR V3 cell phone, and surfs to a NASA page on the Internet, where he calls up a GPS satellite navigation system to get an exact fix on his location, which he then feeds to another NASA Satellite that scans the area in an ultra-high-resolution photo. The young man then opens the digital photo in Adobe Photoshop and exports it to an image processing facility in Hamburg Germany. Within seconds, he retrieves an email on his Palm Pilot that the image has been processed and the data stored. He then accesses a MS-SQL database through an ODCB connected Excel spreadsheet with email on his Blackberry and, after a few minutes, receives a response. Finally, he prints out a full-color, 150-page report on his high-tech, miniaturized HP LaserJet printer and finally turns to the cowboy and says, "You have exactly 1,586 cows and calves."
            "That's right. Well I guess you can take one of my calves," says the cowboy.
            He watches the young man select one of the animals and looks on in amusement as the young man stuffs it into the trunk of his car.
            Then the cowboy says to the young man, "Hey, if I can tell you exactly what your business is, will you give me back my calf?"
            The young man thinks about it for a second, and then says, "Okay, why not?"
            "You work for the Canadian Government," says the cowboy.
            "Wow! That's correct," says the young man, "but how did you guess that?"
            "No guessing required," answered the cowboy. "You showed up here, even though nobody called you; you want to get paid for giving me an answer I already knew, to a question I never asked. You tried to show me how much smarter than me you are; and you don't know a thing about cows. This is a herd of sheep. Now give me back my dog."

              Re: 28thv..

              Hello all -

              Back from a quick turnaround day to the big city and back yesterday. I drove all the way into the city -- my nerves were shot! For a Sunday it was really busy and chaotic. They say it is really impossible to drive there now because of all the Uber's and Lyfts and private car companies crowding the streets. That and construction and buses... I don't think I'll do that again soon. But I drove so I could bring food to HB - thank you PPQ and Pauly for the heads-up on the tuekeynslowcooker recipe! I made it the night before and took most of (i can't have the dressing, but it looked delicious!) to him for some home-cooked meals. He was ecstatic!

              Hello to all - of course I am in a rush to get caught up today. I took last evening off after the long drive home; watching public tv, the Spirit channel part - after listening on the radio to the reporting from Pittsburgh, it was good to watch a show about Orphans in the Wild -- how a dedicated group of people in the world devote themselves to taking care care of orphaned marsupials (sp? Pouch-babies) and eventually return them to the wild. Such love - what a contrast to the hate and destruction. Lav, that is a good story about your daughter's school - I wonder how many schools do that now. Incredible to escape death in a concentration camp, and then be gunned down in the United States in a hate crime. SK, good question you posed. We all must bring into the world all the light we can muster - that's all I can think of now. And vote.

              Hope all stay well, dry, warm, and safe today.

                X-post Mick! Wow, what an incredible story about the c camp... thanks for sharing that.

                Sorry you had to ditch the detecting! Glad the bunnies are doing well. I thought of you during the PBS show - baby wallabys, a koala bear, and one other tiny creature that I can't remember the name of... you would love this series, I think.

                Wishing all,well --

                  Re: 28thv..

                  Mick. that is a powerful and emotional story.

                  I'm afraid much of the world is alt right - U.S., Brazil, Merkel is stepping down and many more.

                  Cyn, What a great way to keep husband happy.

                  Hermi is purring on my chest and she has the cutest snub nose.

                  Mick, ageing is terrible. My father At 80, tried jumping over a snow bank! Because he used to! Same with a bicycle. His parents in Stalybridge and he used to bicycle to work and in old age, he thought he still could. As you get older you sense your life and what you know slipping away and they dread nursing homes because it's god's waiting room. good job on protecting Julie.

                  Hello to everyone. 83 yesterday.

                    Re: 28thv..

                    Greetings Abbers,

                    Looking forward to a fully sunny day tomorrow & temp near 60. It's been damp & rotten the past few days & it's affecting my usually sunny mood, haha!
                    We plan on taking a run over to see our granddaughter tomorrow after school & give her her custom stitched 'Witch' Halloween treat bag. I think she was a witch last year & possibly the year before as well. Her choice, LOL

                    Mick, I have those southern facing windows in my kitchen which some plants really like. I hope the parsley holds up for a good long while
                    I understand our bottom feeding president & his ridiculous wife plan to visit Pittsburgh tomorrow. I hope they get the 'welcome' they both deserve. Too bad it's a 5 hr drive or I would be there too!
                    I have been involved with so many family members as they approached near/end of life decisions. It was hard even with my own Dad (who had lived with us for 12 years) when it was time to go to a nursing home. I just couldn't take care of him & work at the hospital all day at the same time. Sometimes they just need a gentle 'push'. I hope things work out OK for you & Julie. Congrats on her 100? AF days? (not 00).

                    Cyn, I would never attempt to drive into NYC, you are a brave one. I won't even drive into Philly anymore, it always made me nervous.
                    Glad your husband appreciated the good food

                    I imagine there aren't very many holocaust survivors left anymore that can handle participating in speaking events. I did read today about a 97 yr old woman who was booked to speak in Pittsburgh this week & she is planning to go!!!! Bless her!

                    SK, did I read you had a nice visit with Viv yesterday? That's great!
                    With your temp at 83, it should be a lot more comfortable there, nice. Enjoy the crazy kitties! Happy National Cat day by the way, LOL

                    Hello to Det & Pauly, hope you are both OK. You too Sam!

                    Have a peace night everyone!

                      Breaking News from Vivian! Do not put raisins or toothbushes in our Halloween baskets. So there!

                      I'm not keen to drive period.

                        Re: 28thv..

                        MAE ALL...

                        Sam...hope you get the data usage sorted out. The Federal Government is setting new regulations in Canada as we are being gouged!

                        Lav...it's nice to have a south facing window as long as it's not the living room, way too hot. Glad you were able to rescue your parsley. I don't understand why "dignitaries" visit disaster sites. They offer nothing and just disrupt the important work being done at the time. Custom "stitched" Witches bag, nice! Hope tomorrow is nice and sunny for you.

                        SK...there is a world of difference between Canada and the US isn't there. Glad you had a nice visit with Viv yesterday. Happy Belated Birthday.

                        Mick...our weather is supposed to turn on Wednesday. Hope it holds off until after the trick or treat'rs get finish. Probably a good idea to pack it in early yesterday, not fun being out in nasty weather. Don't scratch that head too hard! I'm sure you'll work out whatever you've come up with. Hope Julie's meeting went well and some plans have been put in place. It is a tough time all around and you're right to put Julie first. It was tough putting my Dad into care but in the end it was the best thing. Hopefully he can stay at home for awhile yet. Give Julie 2 thumbs up from me for her 100 days. That's ace. Yup, at work this week and feeling pretty good. Told the boss on Friday that I was getting pretty tired of doing the work he asks the program coordinator to do. He didn't say anything, just walked into his office. Perhaps he said something to her, not sure, but did notice her "trying" to do things without asking me.

                        Tgirl...there was a report on the increase of accidents and insurance claims because of Uber and Lyft. Not that they're too blame it's just that there's so many more cars on the streets now. Glad the crockpot turkey was a hit. Good job on taking last night off, you deserved it. Never been to NYC but you can bet your bottom dollar I wouldn't be driving if I ever was.

                        It was a long but productive day. Is it only Monday??? Hope we all have a peaceful evening...:smile:PPQP

                          hi sam ...till the data gets fixed

                          Q) How do you stop moles from digging up your garden?

                          A) Hide their spades.

                          I don't know why anyone would ever want a pocket calculator..

                          It's really easy to count how many pockets I've got.

                          Me and my limbo team go way back!

                          Q) What did the Mexican say to his chicken?

                          A) Oh-lay!

                          I couldn't decide wether or not to sell my bed..

                          So I slept on it!

                          Did you hear about the poker player who lost his arm and got a prosthetic replacement?

                          He's finding it hard to deal with.

                          Three things that always tell the truth:

                          1) Young children
                          2) Drunks
                          3) Leggings

                          I bought a parrot from the pet shop suffering from Tourette's today. Bit of an impulse buy, but it was going "fcking cheep."

                          Dad: "Now son, what does a dog say?"
                          Son: "Woof!"
                          Dad: "Good. Now what does a chicken say?"
                          Son: "Cluck cluck!"
                          Dad: "Well done. What does a cow say?"
                          Son: "DAVE IF YOU GO TO THAT FCKING PUB WITH YOUR MATES, YOU'RE NOT WELCOME BACK IN THIS BLOODY HOUSE TONIGHT!!!"

                          I keep dreaming that i'm falling through trap doors...the doctor reckons its just a stage i'm going through

                            MAE ALL...

                            Mick...good to hear your brother is feeling a bit better. I'm sure it'll take awhile for things to get right. You must be chuffed that Bonnie and Jeeves have taken to each other so well. They will def keep you on your toes. While you still have your cleaning head on, my cooker could use a good scrub. Just saying. Glad to hear Julie has the support of her boss, that can make all the difference. Unfortunately the pics didn't work so if you've got time on your hands you might have a look. Weather still holding up and fingers crossed this winter is milder than last year. Don't think I can go through those endless -22F again!

                            Shout out to the rest of the gang. Hope we all have a Terrific Tuesday....:smile:PPQP

                              Morning all, I haven't slept since Sunday night. I bought a lycra topper for my bed and it's a little wide and hangs over so last night I reachd over to the resser and down I was going with my right hand instinctively saving my and I thought no, I can't do another 6 months of this so I brought my left leg out and slammed it against the dresser and saved my fall. I became very anxious and didn't close my eyes.

                              I opened the NYT this morning and there was apicture of a Trump ralley with heil hitler salutes. I am becoming very anxious here. Viv wil be 10 in Jan and will probably be hanginng wit friends, so I'm wondering how big I am in her life at 12 or 13. I would visit, but I need to go to a gentler place and quiet. This is the hq for so many companies and Toyota just moved here.

                              So we have Raytheon, TX Instruments, JCPenney, Pepsi, McCafee and the list goes on. When I lived here in the 90's pop. was close to 100K now
                              ow it's close to 300K

                              Mick, couldn't open attachments but my dad left me a book on the history of Stalybridge and I gave it to my son. I have restless leg syndrome so I walk in the night. At about 2:00 a.m. an walked into the living. I had left the window open and a beautiful breeze was wafting through @ 65. 83 again today.

                              Check in later.
