Re: w/c 22nd

Hi All,

Running out to assist in lost dog search. Beautiful weather for it, though.

SK, yes increasing values here too.

Lav, love your emergency money plan!

Hi Sam, Mick, PQ, Pauly!

Re: w/c 22nd

MAE ALL...

Lav...didn't find anything good worth reporting on. LOL Did the men folk get away this morning? I always loved it when I finally had the house to myself.

Mick...I never thought of outage that way. LOL That's right I forgot about the van. Aren't you and Julie heading out soon for camping? You were a busy boy this morning hope you slowed down for the rest of the day.

Sam...good to see no rain this morning especially since you're traveling.

Pauly...I chuckled at the ashes joke as well. I do hope your allergies pass soon.

Pi...hope the search was a success. I'd be too scared to follow Lav's retirement plan.

Picked up a rotisserie chicken on the way home so at least I know part of what I'm having for supper. Lots of activity at work with environmental studies, fixing old failing copper pipes and an engineering assessment for the duct work in the basement. Didn't anybody tell them Thursday was supposed to be my quiet day! Have a restful evening all....:smile:PPQP

Re: w/c 22nd

Good evening Abbers,

Reporting in from the peaceful house of Lav
Nice day here, sunny & warm enough to not need a jacket, yay. Tomorrow we're back to rain though.

Mick, you had 5 cups of coffee this morning? No wonder you run around like a psycho, ha ha!!!
Because of B/P & sleep issues I've had to cut way, way back on caffeine but I do miss that extra energy!

Hi Sam, it was a beautiful day here too after these many months of extended winter.

Pauly, get one of those allergy masks so you can feel better & freak people out at the same time, Lol

Pie, hope you had some luck in finding the missing pup.

PQ, I made myself a pot of BBQ lentils & put some over a baked potato & had a big salad
The IP makes them in half an hour & they are good.
A roasted chicken is versatile, you can make many things

Wishing everyone a peaceful night!
Lav

Re: w/c 22nd

morning all..how are wevtoday then? all good I hope...just a quick jump in ..Im off to Sheffield in a minute or 2 ...its 1.5 hrs drive..oh yes and its pouring with rain too.I put some plants in at5.30 thjis morning ..even the rabbits thought I was mad...hopefully will be on here later when I get back take care all

[Pie]

Re: w/c 22nd

Mick, I hope the new plants appreciate your determination in tending to them this morning.

PQ, I thought it was only old cast iron/galvanized pipes that failed. No idea there could be trouble with copper. How did you end up preparing the chicken?

Your dinner sounds both creative and delicious, Lav.

Hi Pauly! And Happy Friday to all!


Lost pup is still missing, but the neighborhood is now plastered with signs. Hoping for a call soon.

[porqoui]

Re: w/c 22nd

MAE ALL...

Mick...drive safe in that rain. We've had gardeners showing up to start preparing their plots. Maybe spring really is here!

Pi...ended up taking the easy route and just had hot chicken sandwiches. Hope there's word on the pup soon. There's quite a few people who faithfully post missing pet pics on their social media. There is a lot of open space for dog walk/runs and on/off leash areas around where I live and pups go missing quite often. We tend to have a 3 hour turnaround if posted quickly.

Off to get the brew started for everyone....:smile:PPQP

[Samstone]

Re: w/c 22nd

how do all,
Pauly, hope you get some rain soon! seems we have a nudder wet morning here.

It is almost as if someone flipped a switch and created instant green. So much for those nice long open shots through the woods.

Det, how goes the move? almost done?

Mick, have a good twip, guess I'll need to wait for the humorous side of things!

Lav, getting eggs? We are getting a bunch now, never sure how long it will last and then of course later the blacksnakes move in.

Pi, hope you missing dog shows up soon. Yours or a community effort?

PQ, where are you in the seasonal cycle, spring sprung?

off to work, friends

[paulywogg]

Re: w/c 22nd

Mae everybody,Mick,be safe Sam from what I've seen in your pics its super beautiful where you're at with all that green,you're lucky,Pie,hope the missing pup gets found,Kell had one show up at their house and I just always wondering where the owner is,why aren't they looking but then again dogs really can travel far,PQ,hot chicken sandwiches sound great,I think I'm gonna make BLT's for dinner,easy,cheap and good,I only hope I can stop at one,,,that's the hard part! Det's in the middle of his big move,very safe friend! Much love to all and wishes for a great BF Friday!

Henry Abel's son, David, burst into the house, crying like everything.

His Mama asked him what the problem was.

"Pop and I were fishing, and he hooked a giant fish. Really big. Then, while reeling it in, the line
busted and the fish got away."

"Now come on, David," his mother said, "a big boy like you shouldn't be crying about an accident like that.

You should have laughed".

"That's what I did, Mama".

On his first day of classes at a university, a student took a front row seat in a literature course.

The professor told them they would be responsible for reading five books and that he would provide them with a list of authors from which they could choose.

Then the professor ambled over to the lectern, took out his class notes and began ... "Baker, Black, Brooks, Carter, Cook ... "

The student was working feverishly to get down all the names, when he felt a tap on his shoulder.

The student in back of him whispered, "He's taking attendance".

Cool, dark & raining here all day, not an outside kinda day.
I’ve found plenty to do inside, no problem. The great fishermen return tomorrow afternoon with whatver they caught. It was supposed to be haddock this time, we shall see.

Sam, I hadn’t thought of black snakes for a while, thanks for r3minding me, ha ha! I hate those ugly suckers.
I only have 6 laying hens right now & they’ve been doing OK. The 12 youngs ones should get started late July or so.

Pie, sorry the dog hasn’t shown up yet. Keeping my fingers crossed.

Pi...any word on the pup yet?

Det...hope the move is going ok. You'll be heading back tomorrow so take it easy.

A woman went to her doctor for a follow-up visit after the doctor had prescribed testosterone (a male hormone) for her. She was a little worried about some of the side effects she was experiencing.

"Doctor, the hormones you've been giving me have really helped, but I'm afraid that you're giving me too much. I've started growing hair in places that I've never grown hair before".

The doctor reassured her, "A little hair growth is a perfectly normal side effect of testosterone. Just where has this hair appeared"?

"On my balls".

Two old women lived way out in the country, only going into town on Sundays for church.

One Sunday, there was a strange pastor, a very handsome man, in the pulpit, preaching away quite merrily.

One of the women, quite deaf, had to turn her hearing aid up fully. As the old women were returning home, the pros and cons of the new pastor was their main subject of conversation.

"I thought he was lovely", said one.

"He was, rather, wasn't he" said the other?

"He was very loud, wasn't he"?

"Eh" said the other, "what cloud"?

"I said he was very loud".

"Eh"?

"I said, he was very loud", shouted the other. "Bawls like a bull".

"Has he" said the first. "I never noticed, the pulpit was in the way".

Did you hear about the 83-year-old woman who talked herself out of a speeding ticket; she told the young officer that she had to get there before she forgot where she was going?
