So can lighting a match afterwards.

The one thing I DO draw the line at is rulers.

Government vouchers now available, allowing us to buy a Double Whopper for £1.

In other news, the government tell us following the lockdown we all need to lose weight.

Just got back from the dentist.
He said my teeth are fine but my gums will have to come out.

My other son that works at a lab was unbelievably telling me today that he actually formulated a vaccine for Covid 19.

He showed it with excitement to his superior, who quickly took the vial and threw it against the wall and smashed it !

Two men are approaching each other on a sidewalk. Both are dragging their right foot as they walk.
As they meet, one man looks at the other knowingly, points to his foot and says,
"Vietnam, 1969."
The other points his thumb behind him and says,
"Dog sh.t, 20 feet back."

Mae everybody, Mick poor Amy and her hair haha, I'm sure it looks very nice Brady got into a car wreck last night he's fine but my Honda is a goner, it's ok tho cuz I only want him safe and although he's in alot of pain, as bad as the car looked he got off good! It's why I never take the freeway anywhere! I'll take city streets even if it takes me an hour to get there, everyone is always in such a rush to get nowhere and it pisses me off, other than that nothing new, Det, I hope the schooling goes better too, in the spring it was just kind of a vacay for the kids-no real schooling or plan at all, much love to all and wishes for a great BF Fryday!

MAE ALL...

Lav...I didn't even have to look up SSDD LOL. I'm glad the chicks are thriving. Sounds like all's good in your world, now get back to your sewing machine.

Mick...7 inches, just how long was her hair! Did you spray your cabbage with essential oil afterwards? I'm not into essential oil but it seems it's used everywhere. Dolt 45 is attacking Canada now. Gotta get his numbers up for Nov so he's reinstated a tariff on our aluminum. Canada retaliated with $ for $ tariffs on the US. Like little kids in a sandbox. I think we got the protocols sorted out, that is until the boss gets back and says well, what about this? We're basically putting the kids in cohorts and locking down the rooms when they are here. No parents allowed in the building. Going to be interesting to see how the boss handles the rest of the building. Still tending the garden or at least what's left with all the hail storms we've had. Potatoes didn't amount to much but the beets are looking great.

Pauly...I'm glad Brady is ok and that insurance covers the car damage. I drove on the freeways with my sister once when she lived in the US and believe me once was enough! Our parents are not impressed with the plan for the schools so I'm sure we've not heard the end of it. Just grateful I don't have to deal with any of that.

Went in to finish up some stuff in the office before the boss's return on Monday and the account was there. With all the interruptions I didn't get much accomplished so packed it in and came home. Planning on not thinking of work for the rest of the weekend. Have a good day all....PPQP

Greetings Abbers!

Another thunderstorm going on & apparently there are 3 tornadoes that have been spotted on radar in areas not too far away. Geez, this summer stinks in every way possible.
The chicks are good, big chickens will have new mud puddles after this storm is over. We’ve gotten almost 2 more inches of rain, geez.

Mick, Amy will realize that the shorter hair is easier to wash & dry & is a lot lighter (weight wise) especially in this heat! Takes a little adjustment time though.
The greenfly community is feasting on your plants - they need a natural predator I think ~ maybe chickens? Haha.

Pauly, sorry about Brady’s accident. Been there & done it with my kids wrecking my cars too
Just be grateful he’s OK & will hopefully pick a safer route in the future.

PQ, I did get a little sewing time in before the storm rolled in & hope to get back to it later.
Just so you know 45 is also attacking China today as well - he’s such an idiot. I feel as if the world has had enough experience with him to know it’s easier to just ignore his sh*t.

Hello to everyone else & wishing a nice night for all!

I’ve decided to dress as a different bread everyday next week.

Roll on Monday.

US Presidents often get wrongly blamed for outbreaks of disease

Fingers were pointed at Woodrow Wilson during the 1918 Spanish Flu
Ronald Reagan was not responsible for AIDS in the 1980s
George W Bush did not cause the SARS outbreak
Donald Trump, this year’s Coronavirus pandemic was not his fault
Bill Clinton and Herpes....oh....hang on a minute....

I once took a flight with ten grand's worth of coke on me.

The can prices in those airport vending machines are fcking atrocious.

Can't beat wearing a mask in Cash Generator.

Some smackhead has just sold me a 60" TV for £25.

In China they pronounce it 'gateau'.

Telephone rings, eventually an automated answer system kicks in.

Listens to sh.te music for 8 minutes, then another automated announcement.
“Hello, thank you for contacting the Department of Urology, we are very busy at present, you are currently caller number 37.......please hold”

In China, scientists may have found the first 2 billion-year-old birthmark of Earth’s first supercontinent.

Hey Abbers, happy Saturday

Mick, sorry about all the heat & rain, gets super tiresome!
Yeah, that fox is a bit too close for comfort as far as I’m concerned. Maybe you can rig up some alarm device that’s motion activated if he gets too close to your fence.
I bet you’ll have a good time detecting next weekend, it’s been a while

No rain today which is nice for a change! My yard has several giant mushrooms growing due to all the excess moisture haha!
Baby chicks are growing & happy, sprouting some feathers.
