July 26

[Pie]

Stealing Det’s “Sweaty Greetings” from last week, because it’s such a good fit!

Clearing skies here after yesterday’s intermittent heavy rain from hurricane Hannah. Came ashore about 200 miles south, and now making rain into Mexico.

Nothing out of the ordinary on my calendar for this last week in July. At the moment, just need a coffee refill.

pretty ready for summer to be over. dang, it's been hot. Been overwhelmed with work, not really sure why but for now it's a good thang.

Mae everybody, wow Pie it is the last week of July, my goodness that went fast! Lab, I wouldn't bother pointing out anybody's sagging mask I've seen too many people get into arguments over it on my instacart runs, I'm not up for fightin right now, I've already got the covid blues I'm not gonna add to it, PQ, I never go swimming either, kind of miss it but I hate my ass in a swimsuit, I'm not fat fat but the cellulite is hideous haha plus I just don't like being in water around other people and I don't like the whole process of getting ready before and cleaning up after, plus chlorine bugs my skin so yea no swimming for P-dawg, kids are heading to our hometown today and I get so nervous about the drive! Ugh. Mick how are the peskies? I'm sure raisin hell as usual acting like they own the place, much love to all and wishes for a great BF Sunday!

Hi Sam, I’ll sign the Done with Summer Petition.

Xpost, Pauly. I too think Lav is brave for confronting the maskless. It might occur to me, then I think, Nah, not worth the effort. Probably wouldn’t work, and only cause to to lose my peace of mind.

You don't fck with Mr Singh.

I went to the tattoo parlour and asked if they could tattoo the word for octopus tentacle parts just above my eyebrows.

"Well, we can," he said, "but it will cost you £345."

"Ha!" I replied. "Do I look like I've got 'Sucker' written on my forehead?

One in seven Glaswegians admits they've NEVER managed to eat five portions of fruit and vegetables a day.

The other six never understood the question.

Q: What do you call a chicken in a shellsuit?

A: An egg!

"How old are you?"

"You never ask a lady her age."

"I know. How old are you?"

"Boris Johnson Has a Personal Stake in Fighting Obesity"

That's the politest way I've ever heard of someone saying "You're a fat git".

We're cracking down on incoming US flights due to the Covid spike in Florida.

Hopefully, we'll soon be Tampa-proof.

MAE ALL...

Mick...I too nipped out for some bits and pieces this morning and ended up going to Walmart, 2nd time in 6 months but sometimes the price is worth it. Especially when it comes to coffee. There were a lot of people not wearing masks, wonder how they're going to cope when it becomes mandatory on Aug 1st. Great pics, the peskies look happy and healthy. Stay out of the rain and stay safe.

Pi...thanks for kicking off this weeks thread. Was thinking of you when I saw the news about hurricane Hannah. Glad everything is ok with you. Nothing out of the ordinary sounds pretty good to me.

Sam...make that 3 signatures on the Done with Summer petition. Isn't it strange that during this some people are overwhelmed with work others have nothing. Just think, you'll be able to take the winter off. LOL

Pauly...I don't comment on peoples masks or non-mask, I just make a very obvious distance move shaking my head. Otherwise what'll come out of my mouth is yup, God made little pricks and assholes too. There was a creek running through my property that would rise to about 5 feet. The water was like ice and it didn't matter what if anything you wore. LOL

Going to plug in some more Murder She Wrote and play computer games for awhile. My kinda Sunday. Have a good one all....PPQP

Greetings Abbers,

Same nasty weather here but my grandson came over for a visit, have to take him home shortly! Nice distraction actually

Hello to Pie, Sam, Pauly, PQ & Mick! Hello to Det & is Cyn too!

Just so you know I am not out in public looking for a fight. I am simply trying to educate the general population re masks. I use as few words as possible & a quiet approach so it’s not been a problem. I wish the stores were better at policing their customers but that’s their decision I guess.

Have a nice night all! I need to return this kid to his mother at some point, may as well be now

Mae everybody, alot if store employees are pissed cuz the mask wrangling is left up to them, I seen on the news that some owner had to give his employees a few days off just to give them a break from mask fights, people are just so dumb especially since it's really not that big of a deal, wear your mask get your shit done and leave=simple. Mick the bunnies look so cute and peaceful, I have Kells dogs while their out of town, couldn't find Ruffles the cat but he's got plenty of food so I'm sure he'll be fine, Sam, for once I'm over summer too, maybe cuz it's boring this year, maybe cuz it hasn't rained in over 70 days, maybe I'm just feeling like a crab but yes I too am done, PQ, I'm making tostada's for dinner much love to all and wishes for a great BF Monday!

And good afternoon all how are we today then? Hope we are all well surprise surprise it is pouring down with rain here massive gales and yesterday down south there was a typhoon. On top of that we have the Saga of the people returning from Spain having to go into quarantine for 14 days strangely enough the only ones that are kicking off are. the stupid ones that actually went on holiday they took the chance the new it was a risk and lost it seems like public opinion certainly has no sympathy for them at all in fact there is more sympathy for Prince Harry sorry x Prince Harry and his wife and that is pretty little too. A book has just come out talking about the family Rift between him and his brother and various other goings on including Meghan Markle saying she wasn't supported by the royal family they treated her as an outsider etc etc so me thinks he has peed on his own bonfire. With regard to the mask scenario, most people have realised that it is more beneficial to wear them than not there isn't the drama that everyone thought there would be be especially for shopkeepers having to try and coax and persuade people to wear them. Listening to the news earlier on it seems like the happy spikes in France Germany and parts of Croatia again so I think the government is right in quarantining everyone who comes into the country from these places they made a bit of a dog's dinner last time let's see if they can get some semblance of right this time and that's me off the soapbox now I will try and put some jokes up later on in the meantime as my role of MasterChef it is time to make tea I've moved ornaments made hoover noises and sprayed a bit of of Polish and smelly about the place but I haven't yet discovered how to get the tea to make itself take care have a great evening for those whose evening it is and a great day for the others
