Good evening Abbers!

The only person I will face time with is my oldest grandson because he initiates the call. He doesn't seem to care what I look like, ha ha bless his little heart

Mick, the weak bladder hotline??? LOL
Congrats to Amy on the new job. So this means she will be living close by? Awesome

PQ, you could have used a little horseradish on those pork medallions, yum!
Why is a vendor having a Christmas lunch this early? Yikes!

Pauly, I hope Det responds to you soon or we're going to have to send out a search party, huh?
I really do want to see you looking for a new job yourself, very soon.

Just having my daughter, granddaughter & son-in-law over for dinner tomorrow. Not sure what the rest of my family is doing, who knows?
I ended up buying just a turkey breast to roast, no need for the whole thing. YB did want a turkey thigh though so I bout that too, ha ha!
All the rest is either ready or ready to be cooked tomorrow. I like being organized & relaxed on a holiday, no stress.

Wishing everyone a nice night & a Happy Thanksgiving/Thursday.

I built an electric fence around my property yesterday.
My neighbour is dead against it.

A clown held the door open for me when I came into the hotel last night. I thought ‘what a nice Jester!’

A new report shows that being overweight is not as harmful as is commonly believed, and actually confers some surprising health benefits.


Being five to ten pounds overweight could protect people from ailments ranging from tuberculosis to Alzheimer's disease, research indicates.

Those carrying 15 to 25 extra pounds are better able to recover from adverse conditions such as emphysema, pneumonia, and various injuries and infections, states the report.

Thirty to 40 pounds of flab could help fend off breast, kidney, pancreatic, prostate, and colon cancer. And an extra 50 pounds on the scale may improve eyesight, reverse baldness, cure the common cold, and reduce global warming.

In general, the report concludes, overweight people are happier, more successful in business, smarter, and friendlier.

"This just goes to show that conventional wisdom is wrong," said a spokeswoman for the study group. "Not to mention the hundreds of studies that came before!"

The study was funded by a research grant from McDonald's, Burger King, Jack in the Box, Taco Bell, Domino's Pizza, Starbucks, Haagen Dazs, Sara Lee, and Krispy Kreme.

There was this American tourist on a trip around Ireland.

When the tour arrives at Belfast he decides to go for a stroll with the aim of taking in this new culture.
After he's been walking for a while someone rushes up behind him and sticks a gun in his back.

The person says to the tourist "What are you, Catholic or Protestant?"

The American thinks to himself "Great - if I say I'm Catholic, this guy is sure to be Protestant.
If I say I'm Protestant, he's sure to be Catholic. Either way I'm dead."

Then he has a brain wave and says to the Guy, "actually I'm Jewish".
This, he thinks to himself will surely keep him safe.

The guy behind him then replies "Gee, I must be the luckiest Arab in Ireland."

Once upon a time in a village, a man appeared and announced to the villagers that he would buy monkeys for $10 each.


The villagers seeing that there were many monkeys around, went out to the forest and started catching them. The man bought thousands at $10 and as supply started to diminish, the villagers stopped their effort. He further announced that he would now buy at $20. This renewed the efforts of the villagers and they started catching monkeys again.

Soon the supply diminished even further and people started going back to their farms. The offer increased to $25 each and the supply of monkeys became so little that it was an effort to even see a monkey, let alone catch it!

The man now announced that he would buy monkeys at $50! However, since he had to go to the city on some business, his assistant would now buy on behalf of him.

In the absence of the man, the assistant told the villagers. "Look at all these monkeys in the big cage that the man has collected. I will sell them to you at $35 and when the man returns from the city, you can sell them to him for $50 each."

The villagers rounded up with all their savings and bought all the monkeys. Then they never saw the man or his assistant, only monkeys everywhere!

Now you have a better understanding of how the stock market works...

The location of your mailbox shows you how far away from your house you can
be in a robe, before you start looking like a mental patient.




My therapist said that my narcissism causes me to misread social situations.
I'm pretty sure she was hitting on me.




My 60 year kindergarten reunion is coming up soon and I'm worried about the
195 lbs. I've gained.




I'm getting kind of tired always slowly raising my hand when someone asks,
"Who does something like that?"



I always wondered what the job application is like at Hooters.. do they just
give you a bra and say, "here fill this out"..?




Four-time NASCAR Sprint Cup champion Jeff Gordon announced that this will be
his final season of racing. You could tell it was time for him to retire
during his last race when he had his blinker on the whole time.




The speed in which a woman says "nothing" when asked "What's wrong?" is
inversely proportional to the severity of the storm that's coming.




Denny's has a slogan, 'If it's your birthday, the meal is on us.' .....If
you're in Denny's and it's your birthday... your life sucks!




If I make you breakfast in bed, a simple "Thank you" is all I need.....not
all this, "how did you get in my house" business!




The pharmacist asked me my birthday again today....Pretty sure she's going
to get me something.




On average, an American man will have sex two to three times a week; whereas
a Japanese man will have sex only one or two times a year. ...This is
upsetting news to me............ I had no idea I was Japanese.




I can't understand why women are okay with JC Penny's older women's line of
clothing line named, "Sag Harbor."

Mae everybody,great jokes Mick Happy Thanksgiving to all who celebrate,kind of don't like days off like this cuz my body's still on it's work day time clock so I'm up early with nothing to do,I've got to stop thinking about the work situation cuz it'll drive me nuts! Its just scary to think about applying for jobs,moving shops,etc but that the future not today so I need to relax,much love to all and wishes for a nice AF Thursday

[porqoui]

MAE ALL... I AM DROP FREE

Mick...22 flood warnings! Yikes. We actually had rain today too. Changing the front room around, man you never sit still. Do you drive Julie nuts? Great checkup at the eye doc. No sign of the iritis and the pressure is great. I go back for an 8 week post op check late Dec and that should be it. It's been a long 2 years.

Pauly...you're right, you'll drive yourself nuts. Change is scary. When I left my ex I had no idea what I was going to do. Because of the mental abuse I didn't even think I could clean people's houses for a living. Don't dwell on it for now but keep your eyes and ears open for opportunities. One step in front of the other.

Was out early this morning as I didn't know what traffic would be like on the road I needed to take. Out for birthday lunches (not mine) at noon and by 2pm the boss and I couldn't believe how much the day was dragging. So we both left at 4pm. LOL

Shout out to everyone else...Det, I hope you're feeling better...have a relaxing evening all....PPQP

[Lavande]

Good evening Abbers,

Thanksgiving dinner was delicious & oh so filling, ha ha! I sent lots of leftovers home with my daughter & still have plenty left. Maybe I'll see if I can get my son & grandsons over in the next day or two to finish them up

Mick, you did good buying a house up on a hill - we did too! I hate when my phone is blowing up with all those severe weather warnings.
Glad Amy will be close by & your sister-in-law will have some company, that's great! We passed the horseradish around the dinner table & I had some with my mashed potatoes, very good & very strong!!!

PQ, congrats on the good report from the eye doc, yay!!!! It certainly has been a long 2 year haul for you.
You deserve some smooth sailing ahead

Pauly, focus on one day at a time, that's all we can really do. But, being proactive for yourself & your future is the adult thing to do. Keep yourself open to new ideas & ventures, you never know what may present itself to you.

Det, I hope you are feeling better. Do you have any idea what you are reacting to?

Hello to the rest of the crowd & wishing everyone a nice night!

Lav

hello everyone else....have a sooper day..

When I was young we were very poor and I sometimes had to wear my sister's old clothes to school. Turned up in the same dress as my teacher one day. Don't know who was more embarrassed, him or me.

When my kids wake up Christmas morning they will be faced with everything they could ever dream of.
I've got them an Argos catalogue each.

How many Countdown contestants does it take to change a BLIHBULGT?

If you want to play a real life version of Pac-Man then go to DFS and try and avoid the salesman.

what do you call a man who used to be interested in farm machinery?
- an ex-tractor fan

where do astronauts leave their cars?
- at parking meteors

Why do mice have small ballls?
- Cos not that many know how to dance.

Mae everybody,PQ,congrats on being drop free,what a journey that's been,Mick,nice pics and funny jokes hoping peeps had a nice holiday yesterday,ours was just casual and it seems like these kids really don't even care about Thanksgiving,kinda sad in a way,much love to all and wishes for a nice AF Friday

[porqoui]

MAE ALL...

Mick...great pics. I still see green on the grass and with the rain we had yesterday there's green grass here too! Glad you explained the shelf is actually straight or Julie might be upstairs packing your suitcase. Can't believe that was a pallet. I can still see lots of wall space for you to fill up in the front room. Leave some space for treasures you bring back from India. Gotta say I'm a little confused about the mollusc reference.

Pauly...see you're online, we'll probably X-post. Take it things are back to normal and you're off to work today, or do you get today off as well?

Going to head in early as I'm working on a project that's best tackled in peace and quiet. Come 9am all bets are off. Have a fab day all....PPQP

[paulywogg]

I never work Fridays PQ,so off,not sure if I should venture out to my 99 cents store or not,it's in the same parking lot as Walmart and I'm sure they're swamped
