right peeps ,lets have some jokes ...

2 things I hate
1. Lists
2. Irony
3. Maths

A new study has found that dogs actually feel genuine love for their owners.
Cats, however, keep a journal of just how much they hate you.

My friends keep accusing me of being hen-pecked. So, just to show them, I'm going to stay out until after 8pm tonight and buy them a round out of my pocket money.

A man prays to god and says "God you have existed since the begining of time ,what does a million years feel like to you?"
God says "a million years to me feels like a minute "
The man says "and wealth and money how much would say a million pounds be worth to you? "
God says "like a penny to you!"
Man says " God can I have a million pounds?"
God says "in a minute"

Just watching a shifty looking geezer in the library searching intently through ths 'S' section of the dictionary hes stopped now.

I think hes upto something.

My mate leroy said "you should always quit while you're ahead"

Great bloke leroy , shit in the 100m .

I had a vasectomy because I didnt want any kids.
But, when I got home, they were still there.

Give a man a fish & he'll eat all day ,
give a man a pen
and he'll probably draw a penis

MAE ALL...

Mick...did it stop raining and the rabbits get a chance to come out? Train work is perfect for raining days. Having a quiet weekend, flurries most of the day yesterday and I'm still waiting for it to warm up today. Start of the rising temperatures so looking forward to the week coming up.

Satz...like Mick said, good to see you popping into the thread.

Pauly...hope your Sunday is going good, beef stew in the crock pot for me tonight.

Lav...at least you got half a dry day in. Good job on the money, little something extra for Xmas. Thanks for the fiber link, it's time for me to make some more changes. And thanks for the warning about taking it slow.

SK...sounds like your slowly mending, keep it up.

Waiting for it to warm up a little bit more and then will head over to the garden to put more stuff away and be ready for the next onslaught. Have a Super Sober Sunday all....PPQP

Good evening friends,

Much cooler here, the way it should be this time of year, Lol
Yes Mick, the sun was here today & was appreciated. I think my grandson has the genetic ability (from YB's side of the family) to be a real schmoozer, ha ha!!! A few years ago he actually said he wanted to be a Kia salesperson after they bought a new car, haha!!
I hope you got some train work done today in lieu of detecting.

Pauly, my DIL is definitely on meds but she also makes poor food choices. My son does the cooking & when he's not there she goes for take-out & junk. That's another reason I am happy to cook for the kids. I hope your pork was good tonight.

Hi there satz!

PQ, I take it the snow has melted sufficiently to work outside? My poor flower gardens look like crap since I've been afraid to touch any plants...…
You should notice yourself feeling better pretty quacking after upping your fiber intake. You will be showing kindness to you heart as well. We have to keep those coronary arteries open to keep living our awesome AF lives
Hope your crockpot stew was good.

SK & Cyn, hello to both of you!

Have a nice night everyone!
Lav

Happy Sunday eve ABeroooos!

Mick, the bunnies get to play in the rain? I imagine they'd look pretty silly all drenched.

speaking of bunnies, Bunbun fancies himself a model now so I've been doing my diligence with a new
genre of photography for me... bunny portraiture:

Shared album - Xring007 - Google Photos

had to put the camera right on the grass to get that angle. fun stuff.

Tree, that humidifier still chugging? glad to hear you don't have nasty zombi mold at least.
doing anything to relax now?

Pauly, pot roast does sound good. i made the family a 'real' chinese stirfry tonight expecting we'd have leftovers
but no... one of my cousins went for 3rds! was fab.

SK is making a fist... don't piss her off! great to hear dear.

made it to a new farmers market today and it was awesome... got all kinds of fun goodies including a local habanero hot sauce
I'm loving. smokin' hot stuff too. Strawberries, a lovely Greek olive spread, and yes something very naughty... a loaf of real sourdough
rare carbohydrate treat for moi.

sang karaoke with the family this eve and we rolled laughing... awesome. Being AF has no downside folks. nada zippo.

Lav, still have the kiddos over? glad they have you to cook for them at least sometimes.

Satz, good to see you.

PPQ, glad you'll be getting back into the garden. One of the things i've been doing at these farmers markets is trying to determine
the viability of growing enough microgreens to sell on a small commercial scale. working on a new multi-shelf rack that will grow
10 more trays at a time. Fun work, totally.

Time to wind down for an awesome sleep.

be well loves

MAE ALL...

Lav...what snow/ice lingering around should be gone today if not by tomorrow. Wednesday will see temps around 65F! Just in time to blow out all the irrigation and shut the systems down for winter. LOL

Det...Bunbun definitely could be a model. Great pic. Good luck with the commercial microgreens project, I think it's a great idea. You certainly have figured things out, fun work is no work at all. If I ever make it to Vegas again I'm inviting myself over to dinner!

Mick...middle fence in the garden is down! Wow, things are moving along just grand. You take notes while getting the tv instructions.

Heading out into the heat wave. Now all I have to do is figure out what to wear! Have a great day all....PPQP

Hello Abbers-

Well, back home after a whirl, but nice to spend time with my guy. I found a deck of 50 walking tours in NYC, and as as we are close to Greenwich Village, on Sunday we braved the cold and walked and walked. So great to go off of the beaten path - we saw NYC's smallest 'house' a tiny brownstone about as wide as my outflung arms. At different times, Edna St.Vincent Millay, Cary Grant, and Margaret Mead all made their home there. Found cupcakes, great coffee and a fabulous book store. And, saw a remarkable film - I think the name is Solo - about a climber determined to scale El Capitan free-climbing (no ropes, sheer rock, 3000 + feet). Terrifying, but also quite an amazing film - and only 100 minutes, thank goodness, I could not have endured any more stress! All in all a good day, and now I am home and must get back to work and to figuring out how to heal this house and move forward.

Lav, great news about the fair! And grandson, lol. Pauly, what's cooking? Det, love the pic - the light coming through the ear is special. Mick, thx for the laughs - 2 things I hate... v. funny! A fist! Yay SK! You resist with that fist and claim your life right back. PQ, hope your sun and warmth arrives.

OK, enough, I must get going - the train ride lulled me into a fog - hope my cup of tea does its work...
