morning all..how are we today then? good I hope ..and the saga of the rabbit bonding continues...let them out this morning ...Jeeves first ..on one side then Bonnie on the other ..I then went into the kitchen to make a coffeee ...came out and thought ..Im sure I put one in each side ...She had jumped the dividing fence..and was happily in his hutch ..until he saw her ..they had a bit of a spat but nothing serious ..It is far too early to put them together ..soIm off to put a 1.2 metre fence in!!,and increase the height on the back fence..She loves getting cuddled but soon lets you know when she is bored ...

hi pauly ..how are you then ?glad you enjoyed the jokes ...hope you have a great day...

right off to re fence the garden ...see yall

I punch in where I want to go,
On my new car console.
It keeps directing me to the nearest fastfood drive through, bakery, or take away .

It must must be a fatnav .

I saw two women throwing some shapes to my rave music outside my house today, so I decided to go out and join them.

"Yes, yes, ladies," I said, shuffling my feet and waving my hands in the air, "you like a bit of techno?"

They both stopped and stared at me like I was some looney...

Turns out they were both deaf.

I wanted to buy a house, but I don't have £368,000. So instead I bought a £200 flight to Syria and walked back to the uk, so I could get one for free.

PENSIONERS: Be careful in the travel agents. 18-30 holidays are not the bedtimes.

Global warming is a worry to me .
One of the main greenhouse gases is methane from cattle and livestock .

If we cut the legs off cows, and put them on skateboards we would have lower emissions.

A GRU operative has been caught red-handed on his way to assassinate another Russian double-agent.
Porton Down has confirmed it is testing a confiscated Pret-a-Manger sandwich.

A tortoise got loose on the m25 the other day, motorists were shocked to see something moving faster than them.

Men with beards in 1918: "I'm going to the forest to chop some wood and hunt grizzly bears"

Men with beards in 2018:"I'm going to the local waitrose to get gluten free bread and soya milk"

A Paedophile, a sexist woman beating racist and Donald Trump were in a bar arguing with each other over who the most hated person in society must be.

Then Piers Morgan walked in.

In the forest a sad lonely looking turtle begins to climb slowly up a huge tree half way up it edges along a branch, sighs then jumps ...it falls smacking into the ground bouncing and tumbling across the forest floor.
recovering, and bruised he slowly climbs the tree again, jumps, and falls to the ground. The turtle tries again and again, while a couple of birds sitting on a branch watch his pathetic efforts.
Finally, the female bird turns to her mate. “Darling dont you think it’s time to tell him he’s adopted.”

"I've got a big package here with your name on it" is probably not the best way of telling your HR Director they've had a parcel delivered.

Hello all -

Thanks for all your good wishes, I appreciate the support!

Whew. Taxes "done and dusted" as our friend Sooty used to say.

After clients today, tonight I'll be able to work through some of the other backlogged projects - that will lift my spirits.

Must dash now, but wishing all well for a good day --

Greetings Abbers,

Cloudy day but it remained cool-ish. I think we are due to get rain on Thursday via hurricane Michael - swell. Just so it dries out by Saturday for my outdoor event.
So, at 3:48 this morning the fire alarm system went off nearly causing me a heart attack
There was no fire, no smoke, nothing. We ran all over the house & garages looking for a cause but came up with nothing. It's not easy calling the alarm company & 911 at that time of morning (brain dead & heart pounding) telling them it's a false alarm & please do not send the fire department all the way down here. Geez!!!
I made YB get up on a ladder today & use a can of compressed air to blow the dust out of the sensors on the ceilings. I don't do ladder work, ha ha!!

Mick, Bonnie sounds like a stubborn girl - a bit like me, ha ha!! Good luck with the fencing.

Cyn, glad you seem to be catching up with things. Our accountant sets us up with quarterly estimated tax payments every year - spreads out the joy just a little. Glad you are up to date with that stuff too.

Pauly, how are the boys doing? Haven't heard much about them lately.
I am on schedule to meet my grandsons at their bus stop tomorrow & bring them here. I baked up a batch of turkey meatballs today & will throw together a pot of sauce for them tomorrow. Those kids love meatball sandwiches, pasta, anything like that.

I got word yesterday that my oldest grandson (will be 10 next month) just got all A's on his first report of 4th grade. I always knew he was smart but wow, I'm not going to be able to fool him much longer, LOL

Hello to PQ & SK.

Have a peaceful night everyone!

Lav

MAE ALL...didn't post this morning as it was early out to avoid all the idiots on the roads!

SK..."the orange one" Hadn't heard that one before, made my morning! Pauly put me onto boneless turkey breast done in the crock pot. This time I added carrots & potatoes, stove top stuffing and gravy. You could smell it cooking all day. Cheated and had Chocolate Cheese Cake for dessert. Hope your wrist has quit throbbing.

Lav...thanks, yes it was a lovely Thanksgiving, no muss no fuss. I'll have another word with Mother Nature about Saturday, it worked for Mick. LOL

Mick...that Bonnie has got some nerve, moving into Jeeves spot without permission. You might have to put a netting on the top side of her area to keep her in. Love the pic, she looks right at home. The city in their wisdom salted the roads Monday night in preparation for this morning's snow. All that accomplished was to have the snow on the roads thaw & then freeze. Then another layer of snow on top so nobody could see the ice. I think I may take a page out of your Xmas dinner plans especially since we get 2 weeks off. Warm weather and somebody else doing the cooking sounds ideal.

Tgirl...takes done! Good job. Done and dusted was a common saying in my family.

Pauly...hope you enjoyed your day.

Off to fix left overs, another reason for actually cooking. LOL Have a restful evening all....PPQP

X-Post Lav...thank god it was a false alarm, except now I'd be going crazy trying to figure out why it went off in the first place.

[paulywogg]

PQ,now im gonna add stove top to my turkey breast next time,awesome idea! Lav,great job to your grandson for the A's yay! The boys are doing better Rome had a double ear infection and he's still on his antibiotics,Lou's better but he slept for 2 hours on Sunday when I watched him so I know he's still got something lingering,that child doesn't nap like that! Allergy season is here for me grrrrrrr

[Determinator]

Heya ABeroooodles!

Lav, sorry the diet is no fun, you get to add some variety anytime soon? i know it's a slow process but super informative.

Tree, mold report come in yet? hoping for a negative result of course.

Pauly, I started sneezing last night myself. better tonight but a little itchy. Sounds like kids got you hopping around.

Oh man, it's super late again I realize... gotta start posting earlier in the 'more awake time'.

I did run up to a nearby mountain today and got some fun late sunshine shots with a lot of texture/contrast. Here's one:

Shared album - Xring007 - Google Photos

more to come of course

SK, yep, rabbit here does indeed own the place. this morning Bunbun decided to eat some sheet music
from on top of the piano. ack!

PPQ, glad you had a fun and festive dinner

Mick, thanks for fun pics as always. Such cute critters.

that's it for sleepy head. gnight loves zzzzzzzzzzz

[porqoui]

MAE ALL...

Det....sounding busy! Meant to say congrats on the roller gig, that brings back memories of another peep who used to post on this thread.

Mick...glad you got some sunshine for a change. Do you think 1.2m is tall enough? Yup, still got snow. Temps supposed to turn around after today and we may actually get to our norm of 55F next week. Not holding my breath.

Shout out to the rest of the gang, hope we all have a great day....:PPQP:

[treegirl]

Hello Abbers,

Mick, such cute pics, and what a great hutch! I hope the two start to blend in together -- Bonnie is certainly asserting herself, going into Jeeves' spot! Loved the joke about the turtle and the birds.

SK, how is the wrist? And your energy? I hope you start to see some cooler temps soon.

PPQP, yum, the dinner sounds great, and good leftovers too. Sending you the hot air from here - hinestly it's still like summer here, hot and humid - you'd probably take that over snow! We too are supposed to be in mid-50s this weekend, x fingers.

Pauly, sorry to hear that the boys are sick -- hope you can dodge the worst of the allergies this year. And I want that turkey recipe!

Det - what a great pic, congrats. You have a rabbit too? One that likes sheet music? Ha!

Lav, what a scary thing in the night, so glad it was a false alarm... maybe a spider or something? Sheesh! We should pay quarterly Est tax, but our cash flow doesn't allow it. I have to prep HB's corporate, my sole proprietorship, and joint taxes with itemized deductions, home office, unreimbursed employee expense, etc. I'm already prepping 2018 - though who knows what the tax laws will make those returns look like? Anyway, glad to have this year's off my head and chest.

More clients today, and then working on my other job, doing development work. So far behind on that, and their fiscal year ends in October, so I had better step up this evening and put in a good bit of time. The mold extravaganza got me very behind...

I got a dehumidifier for the upstairs of the house, and it is collecting about 6 gallons of water every 6-7 hours! Day after day! And I don't have the windows open to the 97% humidity! Our house must have become a giant sponge over the hot, wet summer... hoping to dry out here soon. And have some cooler, dryer air... one can always hope!

Here's my current favorite affirmation: "I am building a new and wonderful life for myself". Wishing all a good day - --
