Mae all -

Mick, so sorry about the arm pain at night - that's really tough. Hope things start to heal quickly... I have to find out how to see that train video - sounds great. Glad you got the rabbits inside in time! Yes, I would give the cider gent the cash... though I might have tried to get him a sandwich too! My husband once refused to give someone money on the street, but offered to get him food in the store close by... turns out that the guy was very picky about the brands of food he wanted, so hubs got a few things and then said "you're done "!

Lav, have you done the craft show yet? Maybe it's after thanksgiving. Will you have a houseful for a feast? We had beautiful weather yesterday - 52 degrees and sunny... I felt guilty enjoying it! Will look for that taco soup recipe... though I have to make it without beans... still would be good...

PPQ - I hope that at least YOU get a raise! Sheesh, you are the one doing all the work! Good luck with that white stuff coming... that seems pretty harsh. Feel free to cook a turkey along with the US residents... I recall you did that earlier this year!

Pauly, what a cute story about Romeo! I love the visual of his laughing - you will have a fun holiday season this year, seems like. Yes, wheat and sugar are such major inflammation foods... hubs and I are having trouble getting truly well after that last respiratory thing, so I've been careful about no wheat, dairy or sugar for the last few days... he is less stuffed up... that will all end with Thanksgiving dinner! Good luck!

Hey busy Det, hope all is well with you - and you too Sam - and everyone else... miss SK!

cheers all for the busy days ahead -

Greeting folks!

Mick, that Sunday school class had me LOL. That could have easily been my son, haha!
Glad there’s some improvement in the arm. Keep resting it, OK?
No rain here today, I think it’s waiting for Thanksgiving on Thursday, oh well. Looks like my chicken with the bum leg is doing a little better. Still hobbling & resting but she eating & drinking water.

Pauly. Sugar is the #1 killer these days. Cut it out!!!
Dairy & wheat are very inflammatory. Cut them out for a few days then reintroduce them one at a time & you’ll see what’s bothering you.
Sooner or later we just have to accept that the foods we enjoyed in the past no longer serve us

PQ, I saw on the news that there’s a huge winter storm out west & it’s moving this way, uh oh! Boulder, Colorado had 32” of snow, OMG! I am not ready for anything like that, haha. I hope you don’t get anything like that, geez. Good luck with the presentation & I hope your messgae is well received.

Cyn, the craft fair is on Saturday. No Thanksgiving feast for us this year, kids are both going to their in-laws. I’m doing a small IP turkey breast & a few sides, just enough.
Don’t remember if you’re on Pinterest but I will send that soup recipe. I dialed down the hot/spicy stuff a bit. You can put whatever you like in the soup

Det, what’s up??

I hope everyone has a nice night.
I’m hanging out with the dog, YB & son are attending an annual dinner with the fire company in our old town. It’s called the ‘Stag Dinner’, haha

MAE ALL...

Pauly...expe"nsive and a little boring trying to be healthy" LOL I agree. Romeo sounds so cute, like TG said you're going to have a great time this holiday season. It's all about the kids.

Mick...the cube camera sounds exciting. I just can't believe how the layout has evolved. I figured you paid the pound, it's just what we do if we can. Glad the rabbits came in quickly, guess you won't be describing the weather tomorrow. LOL My arm is much better today so I guess no broken bones. Whew.

TG...apparently everyone is getting a 2% cost of living increase, the accountant has a big mouth. I'm curious about merit raises and who does or doesn't get one. Apparently the board has approved a dollar amount for bonuses so we'll see if anyone besides the GM gets one.

Lav...winter storm is heading in from the west. It snowed all day but was very light. The big heavy stuff is coming tonight and going through till tomorrow night. We're only expecting about 10" so I can deal with that. The temps are also taking a nose dive so will have to make sure I have the extension cord for the block heater by Thursday when it's going down to -20C. When I say -4F it doesn't sound that cold. LOL

The program coordinator left without saying good night, think she was a little put out. We had a website/online programming meeting with the boss today and she has a lot of work to do regarding the new emails. I'm sure she was figuring I'd just do it. I'm done with doing her work. Hope we all have a restful night....PPQP

hiya tee gee hope all is good with you today..yep the trains have had a bit of work this week..how are things with you have you got sorted out now ?

Quiz .which is the odd one out .

Question 1. If you cut 20,000 police officers then employ 20,000 police officers how many more police do you have?

Question 2. If you promise to build 200,000 homes under the affordable housing scheme then don't build any how many have you built?

Question 3. If you say you're building 40 new hospitals, but only really have funding to renovate 6 existing hospitals how many new hospitals are you really building?

Question. 4 .common name for the Japanese Mitsubishi A6M3 model 22 WWII fighter plane?

Although the answer is zero to all 4 questions the odd one out is the plane because the japanese actually fcking made 10,939 of those .

That awkward moment as a child..when you had to pretend to read your Birthday card after the money had fallen out!!

Just had that Dianne Abbot at my door singing The Twelve Days Of Christmas for charity.

Took her nearly three hours.

Snails are slugs wearing tactical body armor.

Donald Trump pardoned another couple of turkeys yesterday.

The impeachment process must be coming along nicely.

UK Banknote Printer De La Rue Fears For It’s Future....news headline.

I hope they have a closing down sale.

"I saw two Scousers having a fight on the way to work," said my wife.

"You must've been mistaken," I replied, "Scousers don't go to work."

My dad always taught me the rule
Girls pick on the blokes they fancy the most

Turns out that my dads a massive fcking liar

Mae everybody,Mick are they wanting to get rid of the national health care? To me that's one of the best things about Europe and Canada,to be able to go to the doctor and not having to stress about the cost of the office visit or any meds prescribed,here you hafta be extremely low income or be making a good living to afford health care,there's no way hubs and I can do the $600 a month for both of us so we go without,I'm lucky I have the Indian clinic but if I ever got something serious I'm screwed,hubs has 0 healthcare,woke up with a messed up stomach so I'll just say a quick hello for now and wish everyone a great BF Wednesday!

Good Thanksgiving eve everyone

Had to run out to get blood drawn this morning to check my cholesterol & other things. Tomorrow I will indulge in turkey & pumpkin pie. See why I scheduled the appointment for today? Ha ha.

Mick, our government has been stealing from our Social Security fund for years, never paid back a penny. Now they want to take even more. Honestly, the entire country will march on Washington DC if they attempt to do that. We spend our entire lives paying into the system & expect to be paid back when we retire. I hope they don't mess with your health care, that would be awful
Had a few drops of rain early on today but nothing since.

PQ, sounds lie you're in for a pretty good storm - be careful out there please!!!!
I know that storm is working it's way to the east coast, sounds like maybe Sunday night into Monday morning before it gets here. Stay warm in that frigid weather!!

Pauly, it's not easy getting or keeping healthcare insurance anymore. I know the ACA wasn't perfect but it was better than nothing. I hope your husband feels better real soon so he can enjoy the holiday too. Facebook reminded me that it was 3 years ago today that YB had his appendix removed - time flies, haha!!

Cyn, hope you are having a good day!

Det, ??????

Have a nice night everyone!
Lav

MAE ALL...

Mick...so did the weather description make the rain stop? It never works that way does it. It just amazes me what people come up with. Trump announces that he'll make it legal for Americans to get their medication from Canada. Thanks but no thanks, we'll keep our medicine for ourselves. Yup the snow is upon us with frigid temperatures. It's currently 8F with the windchill making it feel like -8F! Snowed all day and will continue throughout the night and tomorrow. Predicted amounts of snowfall around 12". We got our 2% cost of living raise today so am still waiting to see if any bonuses are handed out.

Pauly...growing up in Canada you don't realize how lucky you are when it comes to health care. I would be in a state of constant worry without any healthcare coverage. Hope you sorted out that messed up stomach.

Prog Coord in a miserable mood today. She even went as far to hide behind a door while I was talking to a program instructor. OMG! How old is she anyways! Plugged the car in tonight for the first time and probably won't be able to not plug it in till August next year. It's going to be a long winter.

Shout out to the rest of you, time to get warm....PPQP

X-Post Lav...as the storm moves east by Sunday we're supposed to be back in the plus temps. Don't know if it'll last long enough to clear up any snowfall. I forgot it's your Thanksgiving tomorrow. I hear they may not be able to fly the balloons at the Macy Day Parade. That would be a shame, why else go to the parade. LOL
