    hiya det pie sam....

    teegee thinking of you

    If the shoe fits,

    You probably didn't buy it online.

    The politician was sitting at his campaign headquarters when the phone rang. He listened intently, and after a moment his face brightened.

    When he hung up, he immediately phoned his mother to tell her the good news.

    "Ma," he shouted, "the results are in. I won the election!"

    "Honestly?"

    The politician's smiled faded. "Aw, heck, Ma, why bring that up at a time like this?"

    A woman decided to have her portrait painted. She told the artist, "Paint me with diamond rings, a diamond necklace, emerald bracelets, a ruby broach, and gold Rolex."

    "But you are not wearing any of those things," he replied.

    "I know," she said. "It's in case I should die before my husband. I'm sure he will remarry right away, and I want his new wife to go crazy looking for the jewelry."

    A newly discovered chapter in the Book of Genesis has provided the answer to, "Where do pets come from?"

    Adam said, "Lord, when I was in the garden, you walked with me everyday. Now I do not see you anymore. I am lonesome here and it is difficult for me to remember how much you love me."

    And God said, "No problem! I will create a companion for you that will be with you forever and who will be a reflection of my love for you, so that you will love me even when you cannot see me. Regardless of how selfish or childish or unlovable you may be, this new companion will accept you as you are and will love you as I do, in spite of yourself."

    And God created a new animal to be a companion for Adam. And it was a good animal. And God was pleased. And the new animal was pleased to be with Adam and he wagged his tail. And Adam said, "Lord, I have already named all the animals in the Kingdom and I cannot think of a name for this new animal."

    And God said, "No problem! Because I have created this new animal to be a reflection of my love for you, his name will be a reflection of my own name, and you will call him DOG."

    And Dog lived with Adam and was a companion to him and loved him. And Adam was comforted. And God was pleased. And Dog was content and wagged his tail.

    After a while, it came to pass that Adam's guardian angel came to the Lord and said, "Lord, Adam has become filled with pride. He struts and preens like a peacock and he believes he is worthy of adoration. Dog has indeed taught him that he is loved, but perhaps too well."

    And the Lord said, "No problem! I will create for him a companion who will be with him forever and who will see him as he is. The companion will remind him of his limitations, so he will know that he is not always worthy of adoration."

    And God created CAT to be a companion to Adam.

    And Cat would not obey Adam.

    And when Adam gazed into Cat's eyes, he was reminded that he was not the supreme being. And Adam learned humility.

    And God was pleased. And Adam was greatly improved. And Dog was happy.

    And the cat didn't give a shit one way or the other.


    Two young nuns having just been ordained were on a holiday in New York City and were standing in front of the gorilla cage at the Bronx Zoo.

    The gorilla took one look at this beautiful young nun, bent the bars, leapt to the ground and pumped her like crazy. Then he
    went back into his cage, straightened the bars and resumed thumping on his massive chest.

    The young nun got up off the ground, straightened and dusted her clothes, turned to her companion and said,"We shall never talk about this, agreed"? The other young nun consented.

    Twenty five years later the two nuns, who had stayed close friend, were out having coffee, when all of the sudden, the second nun asked her friend", I know I agreed never to talk about the event at the zoo but I have one question".

    The other nun stared and said,"O.K., one question"!

    The other nun stammered, then asked, "Did it hurt"?

    "Did it hurt? Oh yes it hurt! He never called..., he never phoned..., he never sent flowers..."!

    One day, Gramma sent her grandson Little Johnny down to the water hole to get some water for cooking dinner. As he was dipping the bucket in, he saw two big eyes looking back at him. He dropped the bucket and hightailed it for Gramma's kitchen.

    "Well now, where's my bucket and where's my water?" Gramma asked him.

    "I can't get any water from that water hole, Gramma" exclaimed Little Johnny. "There's a BIG ol' alligator down there!"

    "Now don't you mind that ol' alligator, Johnny. He's been there for a few years now, and he's never hurt no one. Why, he's probably as scared of you as you are of him!"

    "Well, Gramma," replied Little Johnny, "if he's as scared of me as I am of him, then that water ain't fit to drink!"

    1. Create a new file.

    2. Name it "Donald Trump"?

    3. Send it to the recycle bin.

    4. Empty the recycle bin.

    5. Your PC will ask you, "Do you really want to get rid of " Donald Trump"?

    6. Firmly Click "Yes."

    7. Feel better.

      Re: June 7th

      Good evening friends,

      Very nice day here, no complaints
      No visit from daughter & granddaughter yet but they’ll get here soon.
      I’ve been working on a sourdough starter for the past 12 days & I think I may have enough to start baking bread in another day or so. Love sourdough bread, the best I’ve ever had was in SanFrancisco. I’ll try to come close, Lol

      Mick, of course the cat didn’t give a shit, haha!! Good story!
      Sorry about all the rain I’ve sent over but I was getting truly sick & tired of it, haha! Sometime this week the concrete guys are coming to pour the blocks for the new sidewalk out front. Hope they don’t get rained out, oh boy. I have extra strawberries if you need some!!

      Pauly, glad you got a chance to go out for dinner. I doubt we’ll even bother on our anniversary on the 30th, Lol
      Tell you what, if that chick shows up at work again displaying a gun I’d make a quiet call to the police so they can check on her license to open carry like that!

      Hello to Pie, PQ, Det & Sam! Hugs to you Cyn :hug:

      Guess I’ll go pull a few weeds or something, hate feeling useless.
      Have a nice night all!

        MAE ALL...

        Sorry for not posting sooner, basically nothing going on here. It's been pouring with rain all weekend and since I decided not to do any "work" this weekend I've been binge watching "24". I forgot how much action, twists and turns there are in an episode and how they hook you into watching the next one. Back to my new normal routine tomorrow, need to get my re-launch procedure done.

        Have a good night all....:smile:PPQP

          Mae everybody, PQ, glad you had a weekend to just do nothing Lav, oh she's licensed to carry trust me she shows the card to everyone passing by, I'd love all those strawberries, I'll bet your grandkids gobble them up, Rome was licking the side of a banana yesterday but when I peeled it he got grossed out haha! He's such a picky eater, guess he'd have rather had the peel, waves to the gang and wishes for a great BF Monday!

            An overcast day here but warm ...Im waiting for a delivery of stone ,bet its last drop !

            hiya pauly ...you ok ?Im licensed to carry too....shopping !did you ever hear the story of you could get high on banana skins?

            hows the rest ov the gang ..you ok? take it easy ....

            British Citizen Test

            Question 5

            You are out one Sunday afternoon with some friends (or looters). You see a statue that offends you.

            Do you ...

            A) Tweet a photo of it from a stolen iPhone.

            B) Pull it down and smash it.

            C) Return home quietly and pen a strongly worded letter over a nice cup of tea.

            Lefties 10 days ago: Boris is forcing us back to work so the rich get richer. It isn't safe, COVID-19 is a killer!!
            Lefties this weekend: Of course I can go and protest without social distancing, COVID-19 doesn't spread that easily.

            Anti racism protests in Peterborough have led to buildings being burned to the ground, widespread graffiti and numerous shop windows being smashed.
            “We cannot condone this kind of behaviour”, said the council is a statement, “however, we do appreciate the improved look of the town centre”.

            I got one of those home bowel screening test kits yesterday. The instructions tell you not to poo into the toilet bowl, but use a plastic container, like a margarine tub.

            Long story short, my toast tasted fcking disgusting this morning.

            For a few years now I have thought about improving my work/life balance.

            ..It would mean getting a job though.

            Hong Kong police are spraying protesters with blue-dye water cannons to mark protesters.

            Then sending out smurf snatch squads to arrest them later.

            There is a new study out about women and how they feel about their asses!

            I thought the results were pretty interesting:


            85% of women think their ass is too fat...


            10% of women think their ass is too skinny...


            The other 5% say that they don't care, they love him, he's a good man and they would have married him anyway.

            Dave met Stacey in a nightclub. They enjoyed each other's company very much and at the end of the evening Stacey invited Dave to her place, where they quickly got involved in a very passionate and energetic session in bed together.

            Finally, tired and satisfied, they both lay back in the bed and snuggled up close to each other. After a short while, Stacey began tenderly stroking Dave's manhood.

            Surprised but appreciative, Dave comments, "Surely you can't be ready for more already"?

            Stacey replies, "No, but every now and then I get a bit nostalgic, and miss the days when I had mine".

              A hoy hoy cats n kitties my Aberoooos!!

              grateful for a weekend of being wimpy and laying low in air conditioned comfort for the most part. After another week of sickening heat I was just roasted, sun burned eyballs and all.
              so far it's looking a bit cooler and the weekend dropped below the 100 mark so another yay for me.

              Mick, industrious as always. crap sleep here too as usual.

              PPQ, nice that you have rain! relaunching personal biz?

              Pauly, good to hear you're hanging in despite picky eaters. we have one of those too but she's getting better. Sat night was I think the first night
              I cooked a perfect filet and she did 'not' put ketchup on it. a big win!

              Lav, sourdough is my fav. that and buckwheat are the only breads I do buy. Got a lovely sourdough round from the farmers market just Sat and it's grand.
              Also got some Russian kale, and pink lemons...how cool.

              thankfully this work week is much more mellow. a relief for sure. got a couple huge houses to shoot today but in the same neighborhood at least.

              that's the latest from sleepyhead. hope you are all good and at peace on this fine Monday.

              be well loves,

                Good evening folks,

                Another nice day here but not bragging, haha! The weather is about to turn ugly soon enough.
                Picked up my 9 yr old grandson for a visit earlier today but will be returning him before dark, haha!! He’s playing Roblx on my laptop while I am using the iPad.

                PQ, hope your day was swell

                Pauly, I’m still hoping that woman disappears soon so the rest of you can work in relative peace & safety.
                Kids have the weirdest taste in foods. This one here is a huge meat eater & turns his nose up at most everything else. I’d hateto see his cholesterol level in 20 years.

                Mick, I think the entire world is experiencing upheaval right now. Statiscally speaking it has to settle down again.....hopefully very soon.
                Hope you got your stojne delivery OK. Tomorrow the concrete guys will be getting started here. Such fun, Lol

                Det, hiding in the AC is something I absolutely excel at haha! I cannot deal with excessive heat & the humidity we get here.
                Glad you have some work lined up to keep you honest! I think I actually slept most ogf the night, just remember tossing around a time or two. Sleep is precious!

                Hello to Pie, Sam & hugs to Cyn :hug:

                Guess I’ll get on the road & take this boy home before it gets dark. My night vision really stinks anymore.
                Have a nice night all.

                  Pauly...that's one thing I'll never get used to, people carrying guns.

                  Mick...yup the border remains closed for now. It might get interesting when DT throws a hissy fit though. Did you get your stone delivered?

                  Det...glad you got a bit of a break with the weather over the weekend. You be careful with your eyes. Re-launch is for the community centre not personal biz.

                  Speaking of re-launch been working on it on and off all day. Just finding it hard to stick with it. Today has been a down day for me so decided to play bridge this afternoon. Now I must decide what to make for dinner. Have a good night all....:smile:PPQP

                  X-Post Lav...we had a decent day here as well, not that it mattered never headed outside today. Just waiting for some thunderstorms to roll in.

Nothing like a good laugh in the morning haha I'm beginning to wonder if these protesters know what they're protesting anymore and I'm tired of the hatred towards cops, sure there's some bad ones but hell they're human too and I'd like to see half these people do that job! I'd be a feckin wreck, PQ, glad you got some bridge time in, Lab I'm a huge meat eater like your grandson that's why I was surprised my iron was low, need to go get that checked eventually too cuz it's starting to feel low again, just this weeird body tingle and weakness I get, got a stimulus from my tribe but I gotta provide receipts for rent, utilities, etc by Jan 2021 to prove it wasn't used for"luxury items" or else I'll get taxed, that was great tho cuz I didn't expect it, paid Kell and Lb mostly back cuz they helped me ALOT during my time off work that feels good to give some back to them, Det, you sound busy, take some chill time, supposed to be cooler today too, much love to all and wishes for a great BF Tuesday!
                    I have too much shit to do today and tomorrow to drink:sohappy:

                      Like Pauly says, I hope we all have a great BF Tuesday and I'll check back in later.....:smile:PPQP

                            Greetings Abbers,

                            HOT today, oh boy!
                            Yes, the concrete guys showed up today & prepared everything, next step is mixing & pouring the concrete. Those two guys work fast!
                            My daughter’s visit has been delayed until Thursday but at least there’s something to look forward to haha!

                            Mick, that is one serious leek under the sink. Now I’m hungry for some kaleski, LOL
                            They took down a statue Of a former mayor/police commissioner in Philadelphia. He ruled with a very strong arm back in the 70’s & was basically a racist. Glad to see that one gone.
                            Sorry your stone delivery was delayed, everything seems to be delayed these days!

                            PQ, glad your day was somewhat improved

                            Pauly, your low iron level could be due to a lot of different things. Sometimes a daily iron pill just doesn’t handle it, you may not be absorbing it properly. Get your level rechecked & shoot a message to No Sugar - she can give you some good dietary tips!

                            Det, hope you are OK today.

                            Hello to Pie, Sam & Cyn!

                            Wishing everyone a nice night!

                              Mae everybody, PQ, glad things looked better in the morning haha, Mick don't know how I feel about statues taken down, like PQ says it's history and people are supposed to learn something from it, I'm getting a little weary of all of this, I see no set point on why the protests continue it keeps changing all the time and I still worry about so many people out at this time I don't wanna hafta close again, Lav, I have to be honest and say I'm not the best at taking the iron pills, they make my body feel weird my legs get achy, I get a headache, I get stomach discomfort (all three of you get my drift) think of the Pepto commercials and you'll know haha! Glad you get to see your girls Thursday did you see DT's tweet about the older man those cops pushed down? Saying he was trying to scramble the cop's devices? I was floored! Much love to all and wishes for a great BF Wednesday for us all
                              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!
