Re: w/c 28th

MAE ALL....

Lav...we got cold temps but no precipitation. It's warming up for today and tomorrow and then right back to the deep freeze. Hope you can sort out the fox as I'm sure your chickens don't appreciate being cooped up. LOL

Pauly...my sister successfully quit using the nic gum so I know it can be done. I too had a crummy night's sleep so I'm not moving too fast this morning.

Off to start my day.....:smile:PPQP

Re: w/c 28th

Happy Unhung monday ABeroooskies!

Oh my what a crazy weekend it's been, pleasantly surprised I slept well with all going on...especially the icecream cake I had for dessert
last night! bad bad. talk about an incomplete protein LOL.

Yesterday I finally got another better phone used from craigslist and while setup is never as easy as i remember...it's working good now. Got the
truck picked up along with a 700.00 whack in the bank account...yowie. Got my portable wood stove sold (guy coming over in about an hour). Also
have a semi-roommate on board which is fun. Guy from work I really like camping out in the yard with his trailer so yes.... two trailers on the property
and it's looking like a strange theme park now ;P

bacon and eggs? sign me up! if I eat protein and fat for my first meal I feel so much better than if I eat oatmeal or toast or any carbs. i prefer to get my
carbs in the form of sweet potatoes or regular potatoes at night...then I'm naturally sleepy and zzzzzzzzzzzz

Mick, hast thou scored gold or silver treasure over the weekend?

Nicotine is a potent addiction for sure. I'm still on the electronic vaporizer which is way better than smoking but I do want to make the cut to zero nic. In fact
I requested an rx for Chantix from my doc and haven't heard back....need to poke him and see what's up.

off to the races.....

be well loves

Re: w/c 28th

Det I've heard from too many people that Chantix makes depression worse,,if you do use it keep an eye on yourself

[Lavande]

Re: w/c 28th

Greetings Abbers,

I never tried Chantix myself but my sister in law (with a long history of depression with suicide ideation) went off her damn rocker taking Chantix. She was so nasty I avoided her for 3+ years plus she ended up smoking again, WTF?
I still think a nicotine replacement product (gum, patch, lozenge) is your best bet - worked for me

I had an interesting ride through amish country north of us this afternoon with YB. We stopped at a guy's shop where he makes some awesome leather products by hand. Belts, bags, decorative things, etc. I will definitely be doing some future Christmas shopping there.
Cool & mostly cloudy today, tomorrow is a snow day - I didn't order any snow

Det, sounds like you are making some progress, great! Keep yourself on that forward path, OK?

Hi there Pauly, PQ & Pie!

I swear my chickens are looking scared & lonely yesterday & today. I kept them cooped up & safe today & tried to distract them with some snacks. I won't let them out again until those dumb foxes get hungry enough to move on somewhere else looking for food. Such is life I suppose.

Mick, hello to you & hope you are well

Have a nice night everyone!

Lav

Re: w/c 28th

MAE ALL...

So Det...did you get the portable wood stove sold? We will be needing a pic of the strange theme park. How does that work. I take it the trailers are at the property where you currently reside. Do you have electricity, power, etc. Is the guy from work a sober buddy or at least does he know about your issues? I'm glad you're not all alone. Sorry about the whack on your bank account but you kinda need a truck if you've got a trailer.

Pauly...when I brought the chantix/depression subject up with my doctor she said it could be an issue if you are currently taking medication for depression, which I'm not. Then when I finally decided I was going to fill the prescription there was a news article about chantix and risk of heart problems. So I haven't done anything yet.

Lav...was your sister in law on an anti depressant when she took chantix? A coworker of my sister's went off her rocker when she started chantix but I don't know if she was on anti depressants. Sounds like you had a nice day and it's always fun to find a new place to shop. The chicks may be scared and lonely but they're better off inside. Hope you can get the fox situation sorted sooner rather than later.

Hoping for a better nights sleep for all....:smile:PPQP

Re: w/c 28th

Early one morning, a mother went in to wake up her son. 'Wake up, son. It's time to go to school!'

'But why, Mom? I don't want to go.'

'Give me two reasons why you don't want to go.'

'Well, the kids hate me for one, and the teachers hate me, too!'

'Oh, that's no reason not to go to school. Come on now and get ready.'

'Give me two reasons why I should go to school.'

'Well, for one, you're 52 years old. And for another, you're the Headteacher!'

Marriage Quotations and Observations
Marriage is not a word. It is a sentence (a life sentence).

Marriage is love. Love is blind. Therefore marriage is an institution for the blind.

Marriage is an institution in which a man loses his Bachelor's Degree and the woman gets her Master's.

Marriage is a three-ring circus: engagement ring, wedding ring, and suffe-ring.

Married life is full of excitement and frustration: in the first year of marriage, the man speaks and the woman listens. In the second year, the woman speaks and the man listens. In the third year, they both speak and the NEIGHBORS listen.

Getting married is very much like going to a restaurant with friends. You order what you want, and when you see what the other person has, you wish you had ordered that instead.

There was this man who muttered a few words in the church and found himself married. A year later he muttered something in his sleep and found himself divorced.

A happy marriage is a matter of giving and taking; the husband gives and the wife takes.

Son: How much does it cost to get married, Dad?
Father: I don't know son, I'm still paying for it.

Son: Is it true Dad? I heard that in ancient China, a man doesn't know his wife until he marries her.
Father: That happens everywhere, son, EVERYWHERE!

Love is one long sweet dream, and marriage is the alarm clock.

They say that when a man holds a woman's hand before marriage, it is love; after marriage it is self-defense.

When a newly married man looks happy, we know why. But when a 10-year married man looks happy, we wonder why.

There was this lover who said that he would go through hell for her.
They got married, and now he is going through HELL.

When a man steals your wife, there is no better revenge than to let him keep her.

Eighty percent of married men cheat in America, the rest cheat in Europe, Southeast Asia and the Philippines.

After marriage, husband and wife become two sides of a coin. They just can't face each other, but they still stay together.

Marriage is when a man and a woman become one. The trouble starts when they try to decide which one.

Before marriage, a man yearns for the woman he loves. After the marriage the "y" becomes silent.

I married Miss right; I just didn't know her first name was Always.

It's not true that married men live longer than single men. It only seems longer.

Losing a wife can be hard. In my case, it was almost impossible.

A man was complaining to a friend: I HAD IT ALL, MONEY, A BEAUTIFUL HOUSE,
THE LOVE OF A BEAUTIFUL WOMAN, THEN POW! IT WAS ALL GONE.
WHAT HAPPENED? asked his friend. He says, MY WIFE FOUND OUT.

WIFE: Let's go out and have some fun tonight. HUSBAND: OK, but if you get home before I do, leave the hallway lights on.

At a cocktail party, one woman said to another: AREN'T YOU WEARING YOUR RING ON THE WRONG FINGER?
The other replied, YES, I AM, I MARRIED THE WRONG MAN.

Man is incomplete until he gets married, then he is finished.

It doesn't matter how often a married man changes his job, he still ends up with the same boss.

A man inserted an ad in the paper - WIFE WANTED. The next day he received hundreds of letters and they all said the same thing - YOU CAN HAVE MINE.

When a man opens the door of his car for his wife, you can be sure of one thing - either the car is new or the wife iS NEW !


Marriage is like a deck of cards....................

In the beginning all you need is two hearts and a diamond.

By the end..............

you'll wish you had a fcking club and a spade.....

An Irishman goes into the confessional box after years of being away from the Church. There's a fully equipped bar with Guinness on tap. On the other wall is a dazzling array of the finest cigars and chocolates.

Then the priest comes in. "Father, forgive me, for it's been a very long time since I've been to confession, but I must first admit that the confessional box is much more inviting than it used to be".

The priest replies: "Get out. You're on my side".

Once upon a time a humble crab fell in love with Princess Lobster and she with him. They enjoyed an idyllic relationship, but one day Princess Lobster came to Crab in floods of tears saying that King Lobster would not let her see Crab any more.

'But why?' gasped the humble crab.

'Daddy says that crabs are too common,' sobbed the princess. 'You're a lower class of crustacean, and anyway, you walk sideways.'

Crab was shattered and scuttled away to drink himself into forgetfulness.
That night was the occasion of the great Lobster Ball and lobsters came from far and near for feasting and merrymaking. Princess Lobster, however, sat by her father's side inconsolable.

Suddenly, the doors flew open. It was the humble crab. Slowly, painstakingly, he made his way to the throne - walking dead straight, one claw after another. A silence gathered around the room. All the lobsters' eyes fell on the intruder.

Step by painful straight step he approached until he looked King Lobster in the eye. There was a deadly hush. Finally Crab spoke up:

'F***, I'm pissed!'

Re: w/c 28th

MAE ALL...

Ya Det...thanks but no thanks. I'll pass on the onion and peanut butter. Now celery and peanut butter I can go for. Glad you're all zenned out!

Mick...thanks for popping in, missed the jokes. Glad you got your phone back. Things are good on this end, even managed to get the server sorted.

TT...evening to you. Hope your research is progressing smoothly.

Pauly...latest news is segmented sleep patterns. Our ancestors would sleep for 4 hours then wake for a couple of hours after midnight then a second 4 hour sleep. We didn't switch to an 8 hour sleep till after the invention of light. Recommendations are to allow enough sleep time to go through the waking time.

Lav...been researching your fox problem. Best Ways to Get Rid of Foxes - GETRIDOFTHiNGS.COM

Pi...how's the doggie daycare doing?

Last day of the nice weather so am going to try and take advantage of it. Hope we all have a Terrific Tuesday....:smile:PPQP

Greetings Abbers!

Mick, great to see your happy, shining face today
I think the super-blue-blood moon is affecting a lot of us in the sleep department, ugh! After tomorrow it will be done & gone for another 150 years or so, ha ha!!!

We had a little snow today, not a big deal but it's way down below freezing now, brrr! I kept the chickens in their coop, they don't like walking on snow anyway.

PQ, thanks for the link. Now I'm going to have to ask everyone to come over & pee all over as a fox deterrent, LOL
I had wondered if there was some sort of electronic device I could use & now I know there is, thanks. I will send the link to YB & make him give me a hand. I may end up asking him to get his .22 out & just pop the little bast*rds

Det, first it was garlic breath - now onion too? Ha ha!!! Have fun with your snacking adventures

Hi there TT!

Pie, sounds like yo have things under control, nice

Pauly, don't eat too much, it will keep you awake.
