Re: 10 March

MAE ALL...

Lav...I see your green light on, we'll probably post at the same time.

TG...I hope you're busy signing papers for the sale of your house.

Mick...did you send your weather this way? Started snowing around noon, nothing much actually it's been a fight between snow and rain. I think snow will win out tonight but it's supposed to stop around midnight. So done with this crappy weather. Hope you kick that cold soon.

Sam...hope it stayed dry and you got some of that wood cut.

Pauly...hope your day improved, I had crap sleep. Cheated and stopped at McD's tonight.

Busy day, you'd think I'd taken a week off. At least it went fast. Hope we all have a peaceful evening....:smile:PPQP

Re: 10 March

Good evening Abbers,

PQ, you're right, here I am
I pulled the pot of veggie beef soup out of the fridge & put together some spicy black bean burgers for dinner - yum
Sorry about the snow, it's getting past tiresome. We had sun & 50 degrees today, not complaining.

Mick, still sick? Sorry about that!
I seem to be well into allergy season here & there's absolutely nothing blooming, geez.

Sam, when it's sunny & 50 out you can do just about anything outside, yay!!

Pauly, I haven't slept decently the past 3 or 4 nights either, I wonder what's going on????

Hello to Cyn who has her house on the market today

Hello to Det, SK & Pie, hope you are all doing well.

Not much else going on around here so I'll just wish everyone a nice night!
Lav

Re: 10 March

Hello Abbers,

Well, best laid plans... the day did not have enough good light for them to photograph, so one of the agents came over and brought extra stuff to 'stage' the house. It took a lot of time which I needed for other things, but I'm grateful, now I know the drill. So, more time to get the paint dings and dirty closets spruced up, and if the snow ever goes away I'll do a little front of the house cleanup, and pics Thursday now, so I'm hoping to get the deck furniture out of the screen porch and onto the deck. Cross fingers...

Mick, sorry you are still sick, get better before your trip! Was it Julie's birthday or something? I don't think I've ever gotten breakfast in bed, especially with all the chores done...

SK, how are you doing? Hopefully the meds are doing their work!

Pauly, good news about the car and the pizza parties... I get those dreams, and even when I know they aren't "real" they ar still disturbing... hugs!

Sam, wow, I hope the hay is able to be harvested- that would make me sick with anxiety about the cattle! Good luck.

PPQ, how's it going? Some good food and self-care? Hope so...

Det, congrats in everything, great job - especially as you are still making your meeting and exercising! Fabulous, keep it going.

Lav, that little girl is star-struck! So sweet. Glad you had a good time at the show and after...

Shout out to Pie ---

Wishing all well for tomorrow's Hump Day...

I told my therapist that "I hear voices."

"How often does this happen ?" he asked me.

"Whenever people talk to me."

Brexit makes me nostalgic for the days when all we had to worry about was a nuclear holocaust.

Manchester City have launched an abuse payout fund.

Good, I'll be having some of that, I watched them for years when they were really sht.

At a recent job interview I was asked if I could perform under pressure.
I said "I didn't know that one but I would have a crack at Bohemian Rhapsody.

A blonde was playing Trivial Pursuit one nigh & It was her turn. She rolled the dice and she landed on Science & Nature. Her question was, 'If you are in a vacuum and someone calls your name, can you hear it?
She thought for a time and then asked, "Is it turned on or off?"

That ABC singer Martin Fry says
"when smokey sings, I hear violins"

I suggest a hearing test may be in order, it could be the start of tinnitus.

My parents asked me what I wanted most of all for Christmas and they said whatever I wanted, they'd make sure I got it. So I asked for a bike.

For 2 years now, I've been waiting. They both kept reassuring me that I'm going to get one but they can't decide what kind of bike. I've heard mum say it's too dangerous and I should only have one with stabilisers, my dad says that's rubbish and she's mollycoddling me. They are up all night arguing about it. When I complain, they say that I had no idea what I was asking for when I asked for a bike, nor how extremely difficult it is to get a bike. They now say that it might not be possible but they are thinking about giving me a second chance to choose my present.

I fcking hate having politicians for parents.

A duck walks into a bar and asks, "Got any bread?"

Barman: "No."

Duck: "Got any bread?"

Barman: "No."

Duck: "Got any bread?"

Barman: "No, we have no bread."

Duck: "Got any bread?"

Barman: "No, we haven't got any f****** bread."

Duck: "Got any bread?"

Barman: "No, are you deaf?! We haven't got any f****** bread! Ask me again and I'll nail your f****** beak to the bar you irritating b*stard of a f****** bird!"

Duck: "Got any nails?"

Barman: "No."

Duck: "Got any bread?


Two Indians and an Irishman were walking through the woods.

All of a sudden one of the Indians ran up a hill to the mouth of a small cave.

"Wooooo! Wooooo! Wooooo!" he called into the cave and listened closely until he heard an answering, "Wooooo! Wooooo! Woooooo!

He then tore off his clothes and ran into the cave.

The Irishman was puzzled and asked the remaining Indian what it was all about.

"Was the other Indian crazy or what?"

The Indian replied "No, It is our custom during the mating season that when Indian men see a cave, they holler 'Wooooo! Wooooo! Wooooo!' into the opening.

If they get an answer back, it means there's a beautiful squaw in there waiting for us."

Just then they came upon another cave. The second Indian ran up to the cave, stopped, and hollered, "Wooooo! Wooooo! Wooooo!"

Immediately, there was the answer. "Wooooo! Wooooo! Wooooo!" from deep inside.

He also tore off his clothes and ran into the opening.

The Irishman wandered around in the woods alone for a while, and then spied a third large cave.

As he looked in amazement at the size of the huge opening, he was thinking,

"Hoo, man! Look at the size of this cave! It is bigger than those the Indians found.
There must be some really big, fine women in this cave!"

He stood in front of the opening and hollered with all his might Wooooo! Wooooo! Wooooo!"
Like the others, he then heard an answering call,

WOOOOOOOOO,

WOOOOOOOOO

WOOOOOOOOO!"

With a gleam in his eye and a smile on his face, he raced into the cave, tearing off his clothes as he ran.

The following day, the headline of the local newspaper read.....

Re: 10 March

Morning all,
Mick, pretty funny videos! Feeling better?

well, needed buying a new fangled washing machine, weird how things change in 30 years, locking top, auto water levels, the Mrs called me to say it wasn't filling up enough, that's the auto water level and starts and stops all the time.... kinda put me in mind of that Hartford song:

John Hartford - (Good Old) Electric Washing Machine Circa 1943 - YouTube


hope everyone enjoys their day.... Lav, looks like a nice spring day coming our way!

[paulywogg]

Re: 10 March

Mae everybody, Mick you gotta get rid of that cold before vacay! Get lots of garlicSam,anything newer seems like a pain to fix too computery PQ,Kellz fave cheat place is McD's makes sense cuz it's cheap,yum and the boys love it too! I was laughing over those celebrities getting busted paying to get their kids in nice colleges,some of them on sports scholarship even tho they don't and never have played the sport! We live in a crazy world I tell you,much love to all and wishes for a great BF Wednesday!

[Pie]

Re: 10 March

Storm Gareth, the man flu, and chores done? Sounds like time to crawl back under the covers, Mick! Weather forecast here says, cloudy, blustery, high of 76 degrees. No complaints from me.

All of my guest pups have returned home for now, though have a few scheduled later this month. I received a notice to appear in court to answer for a traffic violation dating from 2016! Seems I completely forgot about receiving a ticket that summer when I was moving Dad out of his house. On a friend's advice, I hired an attorney to help resolve. Could take months, but after nearly 3 years, so what?

Hello to all the gang!

[Determinator]

Re: 10 March

Top O the Wednesday ABerooos!

Mick, that sux mate. I'm still under the weather too, this last cold is a nasty one.

Well, 'trying' to get my internet set up at new condo.....

Pauly, how 'bout this wind storm? crikey, didn't sleep much last night. Trailer was a-rocking and not in the fun way.

made some roasted sweet potato/onion last night which was grand. boy do I miss cooking... been so darn busy
I haven't been doing much. boo! this too shall pass.

Re: 10 March

Greetings folks!

Det, that looks like the carnival is in town, nice pic
I hope you are loving your new place & making it your own.

Mick, I woke up this morning with something like manful. WTH?? I think you & Det have infected the thread, haha!!
I think it's allergy but the allergy medicine hasn't helped a bit.
Hope your storm passes soon. I've been watching a big storm out west that's dumping huge amounts of snow with hurricane strength winds. Flights across the country have be stopped. Add in the new Boeings being grounded today as well - you can't get anywhere from here, oh my!

Cyn, unfortunately we can't control outdoor lighting, huh? I'm sure everything will fall in place.
My granddaughter is so psyched about these acting classes, even more than the dance classes. The kid just likes being super busy, go figure

Pauly, keep your eyes open for the Vegas aliens, LOL

Pie, it's easy to forget about stuff like that. I hope you can get it sorted out easily.
We had sunny & 50 some degrees today, not bad.

Sam, you know I love John Hartford. Feel lucky to have seen him perform a few times.
Good luck with the new washer. You pretty much have to read the booklet from start to finish to learn how to operate these new fangled appliances.

PQ, what's up with you today? Hope it was a good one.

SK, how are you?

Have a nice night everyone.
Lav

Re: 10 March

Mae all -

Hang in there everybody - sorry to those that are sick - Mick hurry up and get well for your trip! Thanks for the good wishes. Det, I haven't been cooking either, just too much to even think about buying decent groceries, hope we both get back to it. Pauly, dealing with the time change any better? PPQ, hope all is well. Lav, how are the wee chicks - maybe not so wee any more? Sam, I loved my old washing machine - nothing ever got mildew smelling, and it worked for decades oh well, good luck with the new one. Pi, sounds great to have return houseguests if they are dogs! Good luck with the ticket...

Surprise pics today, maybe more tomorrow. Deck furniture looks hysterical out with some snow left on the porch - I shoveled a lot off, but not all. Finally feeling a little calmer about being close to done. Gotta do some more tonigh, then off to bed.

Wishing all well...

Re: 10 March

Hello to SK! How are you doing??p

X-post, Lav! hmmm, "likes to be busy all the time..." can't think who that reminds me of...

[porqoui]

Re: 10 March

MAE ALL...

Lav...didn't quite make it to 50 today but it was bright and sunny with lots of melting going on. The comment on FB was it's like driving in mashed potatoes. That's exactly what it feels like. LOL Don't be talking about an infected thread! No way I want to get sick, took me long enough to get over the last go around.

TG...good luck tomorrow. Yup, self care was indulged and I really could have used 2 days. Won't make that mistake again. LOL

Mick...boy you'll be glad to get away from those storms. Hope you're not flying in a MAX 8, oh they grounded them all, you're ok. Hope your busy days don't interfere with your recovery, vaca is no fun when you're sick. Weather's not going to go to form, temps up to 66 in the next few days. Great day at work, one of the program instructors came up to me and said I have a lot of respect for you. I thanked her and she said she only talked to the prog-coord for 5 min and wanted to strangle her! LOL She said I just don't know how you do it. I said that's just the tip of the iceberg. It was nice to hear. Spent the afternoon playing cards. YAY

Sam...my SIL got new washer/dryer and I couldn't figure out how to run them. Even all my computer knowledge didn't help. Loved the video. LOL

Pauly...yup, sometimes that would be the only thing I could get my boys to eat. Unbelievable about the stars/college entrance story. Really!!! Lazy, so I picked up hamburger helper for dinner. Got home to find out none of the dished had been done so the boys are thinking of going out for something. I'll wait and see what they decide since I did have a big meal at lunchtime.

Pi...OMG, 3 years. Don't those things expire? I'd be interested in what your lawyer comes up with.

Det...glad you checked in and are feeling better. I bet you miss your own cooking. Hang in there it'll all get sorted. Liked the alien spacecraft, so many interesting things to take pics of in Vegas.

SK...hope you're doing ok.

Off to put the kettle on for a cup of tea. Hope we all have a restful sleep tonight....:smile:PPQP

Re: 10 March

Arf! late check-in ABerooooland!

Mighty big day setting up internet at new place and hauling more crap over. good grief. Still not living there yet but mighty close.

Lav, you don't want to catch whatever this latest crud is that's going around. I'm still hacking weeks later. icky!

Sam, FYI there are quite a few youtube vids that show how to fix old appliances.

PPQ, nice that you got some much needed validation at work. Doesn't happen often enough does it?

Treegirl, surprise pics? did I miss pictures?

speaking of which.... a ghostly apparition magically appears here:
