Re: July 26

And good afternoon all.. how are we today ? hope everyone is doing good . lost the internet earlier on and lost it last night too as well... it's the weather. We are in the middle of some crazy storm here. At the moment one minute it's really warm the next its blowing and raining mad. Well the virus Madness carries on over here, they're talking about closing down other countries for Brits to fly to for holidays... in fact not 10 minutes ago they have just said that all countries are subject to quarantine possibly, depending on an ongoing assessment. what's even crazier is that the ones that went to Spain and have come back and got to go into quarantine, and are kicking off saying that they should have been given notice prior to it... really??? Tell that to the virus.. in addition those that aren't getting paid for the 14 days quarantine that they are in, are entitled to claim benefits
for me they had the choice to go then you take the risk story ends ...maybe that's why I'm not a politician!!!
Hello det how are you today mate? Hope you are ok that's absolutely crazy about the gym... my next door neighbour owns one and they just started back at the weekend. you can't expect anyone to lift heavy weights and power lifts with a mask on... that's why there is a distance between the pieces of equipment that are used ..but on the other hand there was a doctor over here has just run a marathon with a mask on to prove that the oxygen levels aren't affected in them. I understand the breathing techniques are different with powerlifting and running, but as long as there is space between the kit there should be no reason.there should be no fight either you abide by the rules or you wave goodbye .you take care mate

Hello ppqp how are you today then? You didn't work out something on the computer? Good idea to quit otherwise
the window would have needed replacing too!!! so you just picked up some chicken breasts on the way home
Did you? All I can say is there is one seriously deformed chicken walking around Calgary now yes I know what you mean about missing Bridge , the Forth Road Bridge the Forth rail bridge 11 mile Bridge the Golden Gate Bridge Sydney Harbour ,Rialto,Brooklyn Chesapeke Bay Bridge good game innit
Take care be safe

Hiya Pauly how's the world with you today then? hope all is well .you will be on one of these MasterChef programmes next with that style of cooking haha take care

Hiya lav how are you today then ? hope all is well best of luck with the new chickens.. that's a fair mixture you have now. Relocating down the road with the Amish farmer really? You'll be selling sand to the Arabs next. sounds like you sold down the road as a bit of a holiday to the chickens!!! how is son-in-law by the way? is he ok ?I was just about to go and cut the grass, but guess what it is raining.. anyone that wants some please dive in and help yourself just hearing on the news that the Spanish prime minister president whatever he is is having talks with Boris the mad,TO try and find a way around the quarantine issues because Brits are a massive part of the Spanish tourist industry them and ignorant Russians so they're going to try and work out some deal me thinks you take care look after yourself

folks take care have a nice day look after yourself and stay safe

Re: July 26

Evening greetings everyone!

Enjoying a balmy 84 degrees at the moment - at least you can breathe
My chicks have been shipped from Iowa so they’ll be here soon. I think I have everything I need except a bag of very fine grit to help them digest their food. I’ll find it somewhere tomorrow.

Mick, give up any plan of cutting that soggy grass, geez. It will be knee high before long, haha!
My grandchildren’s schools keep changing their opening plans so I still don’t know for sure what they will be doing. I’m pretty sure my granddaughter will be doing an all virtual school, not sure about the boys yet. Trying not to worry too much since I can’t do anything about the situation.

Pauly, I was awake more than I was asleep last night I swear. It has to be lunar related, I don’t know what else it could be. It’s tiresome, for sure!

Det, your Russian garlic is interesting! We really enjoy the red skin German garlic here.
My kids had a rabbit when they were young & I was super allergic to him but for some reason the chicken dander doesn’t bother me.
Nice you got to talk to your sister. I really wish these protests will wind down a bit when we get rid of the current WH occupant. People really do need their concerns heard without having to fear backlash from secret government controlled forces. It’s a sad situation

Mick, we know the chickens will be OK on the Amish farm until their time is up
My son in law is OK, feeling better. I still think he had a case of Covid. The testing is not always very accurate from what I understand.

PQ, hope your computer issues get straightened out quickly. I’d hate to see you worrying about that stuff when you’re playing bridge or something, haha!
Heading backup to 89 tomorrow then a week in the 80’s - don’t be jealous

Re: July 26

Mae everybody, Lav, me and Det will be jealous of your weather cuz we're looking at the 112's this week! Gotta be something in the air cuz I slept bad again last night, I can't do lack of sleep cuz then I'm toast all day, didn't do any deliveries yesterday and instead just ordered my own haha, Mick now you are with us filthy Americans who aren't allowed to travel anywhere haha, not much to say this morning, trying to wake my brain up! Much love to all and wishes for a great BF Day!

[Mick]

Re: July 26

And good afternoon all how are we today then? Hope all is well in these mad times not to worry I'm sure are capable leaders have got it all in hand I think it is just a massive ploy against the Chinese or somebody else that they are all make themselves look as thick as pig crap after all when you see someone the stunt that have been pulled by the glorious leader and ours nobody just nobody could be that bad yes S for us it is a virtual lockdown again n2m apart don't work unless you have to don't have more than 2 people in the house all the usual stuff that should have been happening anyway but never did because people were so blase about it all strangely enough a lot of the new positives are on younger people and teenagers over here all the ones that thought they were bulletproof and of course the Asian community simply because their culture differs and they are much more fun family orientated in and out of each other's houses all of the time it's a lovely day over here and guess what success I managed to cut my grass this morning no problem at all and in 10-minutes time I'm going down to cut Julie's dad's grass as well take care I will try and nip in later on

Re: July 26

Happy Wednesday ABerooooooskies!

great fun fashion photoshoot last night! my model was a makeup artist and we had fun shooting a bazillion shots around the
Venetian Casino despite the rediculous heat. Editing pics and watching my digital marketing training at the same time... crazy mode!

Lav, dunno if I've ever seen the German garlic... oooh! may have to mail order some varieties to try.
Yes, hopefully getting a change of guard in less than 100 days will do the trick and people can return to sanity. fingers crossed.

Pauly, WTF 112F is just a tad hot for any human. egad. slow start this morning which blows because I'd rather get work done early in this
weather but that's how it goes. 3 shoots and a twilight so another late night for Bonzo.

crap sleep for Lav and Pauly? ya, maybe moon weirdness... I dunno. I changed up my sleeping supplements and sleeping way better these
days thankfully. A true blessing. sorry, not rubbing it in!

Pie, you firing on all cylinders?

Sam, surviving the heat?

must be off to continue the madness....

be well loves!

Re: July 26

MAE ALL...

Into work this morning and one of the childcare staff asked for some time to go over procedures for childcare. After that was done I couldn't wrap my head around working on the new software so I came home. LOL

Mick...just read your post without taking a breath. Barely made it through. Good thing I didn't bash in the monitor because when I went into work yesterday the answer came to me. LOL Aren't you lucky, the minute it quits raining you get to cut grass twice!! Hope Julie's dad is doing ok. Your comment about the deformed chicken made me think of this

Lav...we're at 89F today and still under the heat warning. I'm grateful I have A/C. How long will it take for the chicks to arrive? I'm trying to remember, is it frozen watermelon that you make for a treat? We could all probably use some.

Pauly...I just don't know how you survive in that heat. Could that have something to do with your lack of sleep? Good plan on not making deliveries and just getting yours. It's hamburgers for supper tonight.

Det...I think you have way too much on your plate right now to learn bridge. There's some basic rules and then you can get into all kinds of conventions. I play what we call "kitchen" bridge using the basic rules and having fun. Of course learning to score is a whole other issue. Some people never do try to figure it out. LOL A fashion shoot...big change from shooting empty houses. It must have been fun if the heat didn't bother you.

Going to go find something in the fridge for my lunch. Have a great day all....:smile:PPQP

Re: July 26

Greetings Abbers,

Because I was still lying awake at 1:30 am I heard a text message come in on my phone. When i looked at it this morning it was a message from my traveling chicks - they had just checked into the PO in St. Paul, MN, haha!!! I imagine they will be here in the morning & I am ready

Pauly, it is the moon keeping us awake & there’s just nothing we can do. I change my sleep supplements from time to time but nothing ever helps with teh moon phases. We’re screwed, LOL

Mick, glad to hear ypu finally have a dry day to get caught up with the lawn work. Things are actually pretty dry here so we could use a bit of rain.....just a bit.
Our news is reporting the bar scenes are responsible for the current uptick in Covid cases. Damn good thing we don’t go to bars, right? If the 20 & 30 year olds wantto fill hospital beds they’re foolish!

Det, several years ago I found an online source for garlic bulbs to grow. Can’t remember the name of it at the moment but that’s where i found the Greman garlic. It’s good & doesn’t create the heartburn that white garlic does. Crazy huh? Good luck with your photoshoots. Don’t teh models sweat in all that heat??? I sure would, Lol

PQ, sorry you’re getting our weather but I’m telling ya we’re sick of it!!!
I imagine the chicks will be here Thursday morning. The big girls are enjoying watermelon refrigerated or frozen, they;re not fussy

Greetings to PIe, Sam & Cyn!

Have a nice night all!

Re: July 26

Hey NoSugar...good to see you. Mick will be able to answer your question but for me I've been on this thread for 8 years!

[paulywogg]

Re: July 26

Mae everybody, Hi NS! I think I've been here 8 years too, reeled in by Mick's jokes haha Det and Lav what are your sleep supps? Out of curiosity?, Was gonna take the day off today but ahh the guilt! I'll probably just go and see if there's any deliveries for me on that area, hope everyone has a great BF Thursday, much love to all!

[NoSugar]

Re: July 26

Wow, I thought this thread had ended and many of you had left MWO long ago. When I sign on, I always see the new posts since I last signed on and yesterday was the first time in months I saw this one. I'm so glad to see you guys are still here!

I let my paid subscription lapse several months ago and just renewed it yesterday. I wonder if that somehow is related ???

Re: July 26

hello to everyone else hope you are all well

My identical twin likes to pretend I'm him.

My missus caught me with a blow up doll.

"Huh, " she said, "another partner your going to let down. "

I noticed my car was low on fuel.

As I was filling up my wife said "You really need to get this anxiety sorted out - It's only a trip to the petrol station"

Arnold and his wife were cleaning out the attic one day when he came across a ticket from the local shoe repair shop. The date stamped on the ticket showed that it was over eleven years old.

They both laughed and tried to remember which of them might have forgotten to pick up a pair of shoes over a decade ago.

"Do you think the shoes will still be in the shop" Arnold asked?

"Not very likely", his wife said." It's worth a try", Arnold said, pocketing the ticket. He went downstairs, hopped into the car, and drove to the store.With a straight face, he handed the ticket to the man behind the counter.

With a face just as straight, the man said, "Just a minute. I'll have to look for these." He disappeared into a dark corner at the back of the shop. Two minutes later, the man called out, "Here they are"!

"No kidding?" Arnold called back. "That's terrific! Who would have thought they'd still be here after all this time".

The man came back to the counter, empty-handed. "They'll be ready Thursday", he said calmly.

"Johnny, where's your homework"? Miss Martin said sternly to the little boy while holding out her hand.

"My dog ate it", was his solemn response.

"Johnny, I've been a teacher for eighteen years. Do you really expect me to believe that"?

"It's true, Miss Martin, I swear", insisted Johnny.

"I had to force him, but he ate it"!

his 90 year old grandfather in a very secluded, rural area of the state. After spending the night, his grandfather prepared breakfast for him consisting of eggs and bacon. He noticed a film-like substance on his plate and he questioned his grandfather. "Are these plates clean"?

His grandfather replied...."those plates are as clean as cold water can get them so go on and finish your meal".

That afternoon, while eating the hamburgers his grandfather made for lunch, he noticed tiny specks around the edge of his plate, and a substance that looked like dried egg yokes. So he asked again, "Are you sure these plates are clean"?

Without looking up from his hamburger, the grandfather says, "I told you before, those dishes are as clean as cold water can get them, now don't ask me about it anymore"!

Later that afternoon, as he was on his way out to get the paper, the dog started to growl and would not let him pass. "Grandfather, your dog won't let me out", he complained.

Without diverting his attention from the football game, his Grandfather shouted, "Coldwater, move"!

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 ass or smaller eggs".

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

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.

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.

Re: July 26

Greetings all,

My new chicks are here & look happy. They’ve been stuffing themselves & slugging down the electrolyte water called Quik-Chick all day, haha!!!
The hatchery always adds an extra ‘mystery’ chick so you have to wait until they grow a bit to figure out the breed. It’s always exciting driving home from the PO listening to the peeps of 16 chicks
Other than that, nothing new, still too hot & yucky here. That all may change as there’s a possible hurricane brewing up, we shall see.

NS, good to see you here! Truly this thread has been around even longer than me, Lol
Stick around with us, we’re just fabulous!!

Pauly, I switch around between Alteril, Melodyn & toss in Benadryl most times because my allergies are so ridiculous. Between the heat & my own hot flashes sleeping in the summer months just doesn’t happen even though my house is cooled down to 68 degrees. No caffeine involved (only have half-caf in the morning). When the darkness of winter & the cold temps Get here my hot flashes subside so the supplements help EXCEPT when the moon is getting close to being full. In other words, I’ve given up worrying about sleep after all these years, haha!!

Mick, I’m sure glad the chicks made it here faster than your computer, geez. That’s a pretty long trip from Iowa to my location in PA.
I don’t know how anyone can actually sleep right now with all the BS going on in the world, sad.

Hello PQ & Det, hope your day was good!
Hello to Pie, Sam & Cyn!

Have a nice night all!

Re: July 26

Ahoy hoy ABeroooos!

PPQ, awesome wacky video yeah I'll wait to pick up anymore hobbies... zooming like a madman here.

New software...agh! I'm knee-deep in it myself.

Lav, I'll have to look for garlic maybe on Amazon? they seem to have everything.

114F today in Vegas. booooooo! booooooooooo! a-hem....

NoSugar! haven't seen you in yonks. How have you been? what's new?

Pauly, my super knockout formula is a combo of:
1 Unisom
1 or 2 L-Theanine
10mg of melatonin
1 CBD gummy

Mick, any train work on the books?

Lav, a mystery chick... cute idea.

My fashion shoot was a huge hit and she's totally stoked. whew! you never know
poor thing about had a heat stroke so we popped back into the casino every 15m or so.
Some darn impressive makeup as it wasn't running at all.

Ok, a bit more marketing study and I'm off to a Refuge meeting.

be well loves!

[paulywogg]

Re: July 26

Mae everybody, Det glad your shoot went well poor thing to hafta be all made up in the heat, that's why I'm liking the make cuz I just do my eye makeup and I'm good to go haha! Lav, yea I think it was moon related cuz it seems better now, although I should knock on wood cuz that's just how it is, watched DT's fill in yesterday and even tho he just had someone close to his campaign or whatever die from covid he still downplays it, tbh I kind of liked the downplay just to get through and not run around freaked out but it just seems like it's unstoppable and it scares me, I'm also wondering why we can't just vote online? It's done in a computer at the place anyways, after having Kells dogs for a couple of days I want a puppy again, yet I'm reluctant to take on the responsibility, Spencer was everywhere and alot to keep up with, I still put some things up high cuz I'm used to him chewing everything up, PQ, I'm making turkey and cheese sliders on Hawaiian rolls, cheap, easy and good! Made turkey burgers last night and almost barfed, hubs too so no more alternative meats for us! Much love to the gang and wishes for a great BF Fryday for us all!!
