    Re: w/c26th

    Happy Friday Eve ABeroooos! (ya that's a thing. I think)

    Mick, no you may not borrow my phone. Damn man you really do have the techno jinx. sorry to hear that.

    SK, at least you are ok-ish after what could have been a terrible accident. I've heard many folks are very happy with uber.
    I wouldn't drive but having a truck to pull the trailer is something I'm stuck with, and I like to go exploring the back country.

    Lav, doing the insurance gig as it will allow me to work remotely and set my own hours. That way i can have a life while still
    earning income. That's my evil plan anyhoo. Photography, going to the gym, writing, reading, exploring, to boldly cook where no man has
    cooked before.... etc.

    PPQ, enjoy the BBQ. I BBQ'd some Filipino-inspired chicken yesterday and it was fab. Put soy sauce, Filipino palm vinegar, sesame oil, and
    chilis into a squirt bottle and kept squirting it periodically. Served with a pile of red bell peppers and multitude of other veggies and rice
    noodles.

    I do miss the old chat room here for anyone that can recall back that far. i poke into the one at lifering.org 'round 8pm most nights if anyone
    wants to sneak in. Don't even have to be a proper member. i've been going there for years and still log in as a visitor, but you get your very own
    spiffy name.

    I've been going to both Refuge Recovery and SMART meets and now have acquired both of their books, so I have some fun and helpful reading to look
    forward to continuing.

    another couple street performer pics from the other day. This guy was not homeless.
    Very different looks/photographic styles:

          right folks ...have a great weekend..

          With the circus in town, a local man is very excited to see the magic show and rushes down to the big-top. He reaches the gates just as the circus is closing for the day but manages to buy a ticket and hurriedly runs into the tent. "Where's the magic show?", he breathlessly asks one employee.

          The lady replies that she just saw the magician in the back packing up his bags for the day and without wasting a minute, the man rushes back to see the show. He races into the room only to find the magician ready to leave.

          "I'm here for the magic show", the guy tells the magician.

          "Sorry pal, come back tomorrow I'm going home." replies The Amazing Jonas.

          "Look", says the man, "I just paid good money to come in and see a magic show and that's what I expect!"

          Visually annoyed, the magician tells him, "Buddy, I've been here all day and I'd like to go home and see my wife and kids."

          With that, the customer becomes more irate and DEMANDS that he be shown at least one magic trick.

          "Okay, you want to see a magic trick?!", Jonas asks. "Pull down your pants."

          The man looks skeptical but does as he's told.

          "Now bend over and grab your ankles." As he does Jonas walks behind him and the man flinches. "There," asks the magician. "Can you feel my finger in your ass?"

          The man winces and replies, "Yeah."

          The magician holds both of his hands over the guy's back, wiggles his fingers in front of his face and shouts, "Ta-Dah."


          Vasectomy
          After having their 11th child, a Liverpool couple decided that was enough, as the social wouldn't buy them a bigger bed and they weren't strong enough to nick one, the husband went to his doctor and told him that he and his wife didn't want to have any more children.

          The doctor told him there was a procedure called a vasectomy that would fix the problem but it was expensive. A less costly alternative was to go home, get a firework, light it, put it in a beer can, then hold the can up to his ear and count to 10.

          The Scouser said to the doctor, "I may not be the smartest guy in the world, but I don't see how putting a firework in a beer can next to my ear is going to help me."

          "Trust me, it will do the job", said the doctor.

          So the man went home, lit a banger and put it in a beer can. He held the can up to his ear and began to count: "1, 2, 3, 4, 5," at which point he paused, placed the beer can between his legs so he could continue counting on his other hand...



          This procedure also works in Birmingham, parts of Essex, Sunderland, Aberdeen and anywhere in Wales.

          Two women were out for a Saturday stroll. One had a Doberman and the other, a Chihuahua. As they walked down the street, the one with the Doberman said to her friend, "Let's go over to that bar for a drink."

          The lady with the Chihuahua said, "We can't go in there. We've got dogs with us." The one with the Doberman said, "Just watch, and do as I do."

          They walked over to the bar and the one with the Doberman put on a pair of dark glasses and started to walk in. The bouncer at the door said, "Sorry, lady, no pets allowed." The woman with the Doberman said, "You don't understand. This is my guide dog."

          The bouncer said, "A Doberman?" The woman said, "Yes, they're using them now. They're very good." The bouncer said, "OK, come on in."

          The lady with the Chihuahua thought that convincing him that a Chihuahua was a guide dog may be a bit more difficult, but thought, "What the heck," so she put on her dark glasses and started to walk in.

          Once again the bouncer said, "Sorry, lady, no pets allowed." The woman said, "You don't understand. This is my guide dog." The bouncer said, "A Chihuahua?" The woman with the Chihuahua said, "A Chihuahua? They gave me a farking Chihuahua???!!!"

          90% of women don't like men in pink shirts. Ironically, 90% of men in pink shirts don't like women

          A recent scientific study revealed that women found different male attributes attractive depending on where they were in their menstrual cycle.
          For example, a woman ovulating found men with rugged masculine features most attractive.
          Whereas a woman menstruating preferred men doused in petrol, set on fire with scissors stuck in his eyes, an axe in his skull and a javelin stuck up his ass.

          The Pope was in Liverpool last week curing the sick and healing the masses and all those Pope type things he does.

          Anyway, little scouse Johnny comes up to him and says, "Please Mr Pope, can you help me with my hearing?"

          The pope then placed his hands over the lads ears and blessed him. "Well that's all well and good, "said Johnny. "but my hearings not till next Thursday.

          I went down to the Patent Office trying to register some of my inventions earlier today.
          I walked up to the main desk to sign in and the lady pulled out a form to fill out.
          She asked for my personal info, wrote it down and then asked me what I had invented.
          I said, 'A folding bottle.'
          She said, 'Okay. What do you call it?'
          'A fottle.'
          'What else do you have there?'
          'A folding carton.'
          'OK, what do you call it?'
          'A farton.'
          She chuckled and said, 'Those are silly names for products and one of them sounds a bit crude.'
          I was so upset by her comment I grabbed the form and left the office without even telling her about my folding bucket...

          My mate said, "I like your sports car."
          I said, "It's not very practical now we've got a baby."
          He said, "How about I buy it off you."
          I said, "Yeah go on then. Four grand?"
          He said, "You've got yourself a deal."
          I said, "Nice one... you're going to make a fcking brilliant dad."

            MAE ALL....

            Mick...well done you on sorting out the phone. It really does feel good when you solve a techie problem. We actually saw the sun yesterday for awhile and I hope it hangs around until after the BBQ. With temps sitting around 40F and rain in the forecast for the weekend snow could be right around the corner. I swear we're going to go from Summer to Winter without Fall! You're sounding much better this morning, I'm glad the down feelings don't last long.

            Hope we all have a Fabulous Friday and I'll check in again later....:smile:PPQP

                Re: w/c26th

                I was planning on going to Karaoke tonight and not drink but I decided to stay home. Yes I know that I can do it sober. But I just want to be 100% sure of it.
                I quit drinking on March 8, 2020. Taking it One Day At A Time and no more taking my quit for granted.

                Also doing it for me. I got to stay sober for me.

                Just consecrate on today and do what you can to remain sober for today and worry about staying sober tomorrow, tomorrow.

                  Re: w/c26th

                  Evening greetings everyone!

                  I survived another day with the grandsons, only had to break up 2 fights & they consumed everything in sight, ha ha! It rained most of the day & it's a bit cooler now, thank goodness. I think we're in for a fairly damp holiday weekend. I didn't make any plans anyway since my son & daughter are still not speaking. It's been just about two years now & there's nothing I can do to fix the situation.

                  Mick, glad you have your phone working now, yay!
                  I seem to have mucho monarch & black swallowtail caterpillars this year which is great because I have been planting stuff for years to attract them. The more butterflies in my life the better
                  The cabbage moths, as we call them are always here. I try to ignore them, LOL

                  Det, great pics again - a fiddler! I hope Sam checks in at some point so he can see them.
                  You have quite a detailed plan in place, good for you. I hope everything falls into place after all the hard work you've done.
                  Btw - nice cheese

                  SK, I'm at the point myself where I don't want to drive on the interstates anymore. People are too damn crazy for my liking, they freak me out. Uber is a wonderful service, my family & friends often use them for trips to & from air ports & train stations, etc.
                  I hope your arm is enjoying some fresh air & mild soap & water

                  Pauly, the boys had their noses stuck in my laptop & iPad all day. They got into a few fights over a game they were both playing online, ha ha!

                  PQ, you really wouldn't get snow this early, would you? That would be a bit difficult just at the start of the school year, geez.
                  I hope the BBQ was fun & tasty.

                  Have a peaceful night everyone!

                    I do remember snow in Sept a few years ago PQ? Drifty,good to pass on karaoke for now just to be 100% sure,plus it gives you time to practice hitting the high notes Lav,I didn't know your son and daughter aren't speaking? Jeez,that would be hard glad the boys were somewhat easy today,LB treated me to sn early b-day lunch at the Cheesecake Factory,the waitress must have thought Romeo was older cuz she asked if we were gonna order him anything haha,nope he doesn't even have any teeth yet

                      Next day he drives the cat 50 miles, dumps the cat, gets home, and the cat is sitting in the house on a chair. Next day he thinks 'I'll fettle you ya bugger!'
                      Next day he drives 200 miles and dumps the cat again.
                      After 3 hours of driving around he phones home and says to his wife"Is the cat there?"

                      The clerk looked up Knicker Stitcher on his computer and, finding it classified as unskilled labour, he gave him £80 a week unemployment pay.
                      Mick was next in and when asked his occupation replied, 'Diesel Fitter.' Since a diesel fitter was a skilled job, the clerk gave Mick £160 a week.
                      When Paddy found out he was furious.. He stormed back into the office to find out why his friend and co-worker was collecting double his pay. The clerk explained, 'Knicker Stitchers are unskilled labour and Diesel Fitters are skilled labour.' 'What skill?' yelled Paddy. 'I sew da elastic on da knickers and thongs, then Mick puts 'em over his head and says: 'Yep, diesel fitter.'

                          Lav...the BBQ was ace. For a Friday it was a pretty hectic day, Attila the Accountant was on a roll. LOL We can get snow every month of the year here!

                          Pauly...good memory! Yup snow on Sep 10, 2014 snow.jpg Early birthday lunch? So is it Happy Birthday or Happy Belated Birthday now? LOL With one of my many trips out I decided to make tacos tonight and thought of you. LOL Will be interested to know how things work out for Kell.

                          Mick...seasons changing here too. I've actually put 2 of my garden plots to bed for the season. Still have some tomatoes and brussel sprouts I'm babying along. Can't believe it's almost Italy time already. Feels like you just got back. Was raining this morning but the sun showed up off and on today. I've been back and forth to the community centre today, an event tonight and their decorating schedule kept changing. Have to head back in an hour to open up for them and then told them to phone the boss if anything else comes up, I'm done.

                          Drifty...did I read somewhere that you went to karaoke after all and not drinking wasn't a problem? Maybe it was in the chat room. Good on you, you're doing great.

                                hills/mountains up here to do a (hopefully) epic panoramic picture of the city one night.

                                PPQ, it's actually too hot to BBQ here... really. I tried the other day and about kicked off from heat stroke.

                                well, off to do more family fun things. Bowling tonight I hear... hmmm, I haven't bowled since I was 17 so this should be something.

                                be well loves
