Lav, how do you disinfect a white house??? Mick, he's got a golf course there, right? He's yours!

I'll breathe better when he's finally escorted out.

[Mick]

hiya all ...just waiting for the plumber to turn up ...the heating still isnt right an he is going to change the kitchen taps .hope everyone is good

President Lukashenko of Belarus has just phoned to congratulate President
Trump on his re-election.

Why did Melania cross the road?

To get the fck out

Donald Trump's career as President of the USA will soon be over and he just can't stand it.

But out of magnanimity, I'm prepared to offer him a role in a major construction project along the Mexican border.

Nice to see Trump finally making America Great Again.

There are 5 colours associated with lying, there is the black lie, the red lie, grey lie, the white lie, and more recently the widely used Orange Trump lie.

oy ABeroooos!

a marvelously dark and cold weekend was upon Vegas for the weekend which was a nice change and it was a lovely 29f
this morning!

Lav, that's great intel on Idaho Falls. we are also looking at places in northern AZ. decisions... decisions.. I'm sure I'd be
happy in either spot. Just a matter of the job prospects then. and house rental costs of course.

not too many nasty protests out and about which is good. just a few where they were already happening for whatever unknown reason,
but Vegas is pretty mellow. well, it's crazy in it's own organic way of course.

only 1 shoot today and nothing yet for tomorrow. ack! getting to be the slow time of year which isn't great fun but I'll think of something.

Pauly, you surviving the temperature switch ok?

Mick, I don't envy your plumbing situation. I had a delivery of my lovely framed print from Florence sent up by my ex and the shipping
company managed to bash it into bits, so I have an expensive box of broken glass. oh joy.

otherwise things are pretty fine and dandy. Made a mega pot of beef/barley/veggie soup last night which was just what we needed.

ok, off to the races...

be well loves!

Good evening friends,

We’re still enjoying the sunny, balmy weather here but it’s ending Wednesday with rain followed by seasonal temps.
Getting a bit caught upon embroidery orders, nice to see folks are thinking ahead for Christmas gifts

Mick, sorry your thread disappeared yesterday. Where do they go???
I should send YB over to help with the plumbing work. He is able to do quite a bit & he also worked with an electrician many years ago as a side job so he can do that as well.
I think Trump may be hiding & filling up his diaper as we speak, haha!

Sam, they’re going to have to put a gigantic plastic bag over the white house & set off smoke bombs or something, haha.

Det, sorry to hear about the shipping on your print. I have also gotten glass items delivered completely smashed, ugh.
I think Idaho Falls is a bit bigger than Twin Falls where my brother was, a town of around 50,000 I believe. Keep looking for the best spot for you to grow your business

Hello to Pauly, hope you are OK, Got my hair cut. Today & thought of you.

Hello to Cyn who is out of self-quarantine, yay!

Hello to everyone else stopping by & wishing a good night for all!

MAE ALL...

Sorry for not checking in over the weekend. Was feeling kinda blah with no energy, ended up doing a lot of reading.

Lav...you're probably going to have to do another Costco run if you had your g/son there all weekend. It was a cold miserable weekend here but thankfully we didn't get much snow, just wind. Lethbridge just south of me actually had a snow day today. Sunday saw 6ft snowdrifts. We're going to be below normal all week, me thinks winter has arrived.

Mick...I was sure you'd have started a thread, bummer. I read your poem on FB it is wonderfully done. We honor our fallen with crosses along Memorial Drive every year. With 3500 freshly painted crosses all labeled with a fallen soldier from Southern Alberta it's quite something to see. Unfortunately the Nov 11th ceremony is closed to the public this year, but it will be live streamed. Used the washroom when I got to work this morning and when I stood up it flushed. Scared the hell out of me. I didn't even notice the plumbing had been changed. I hope your plumbing work was completed today.

Sam...I think a lot of people will breath better once he's finally out. I don't know how much authority he still has but he could probably do a lot more damage before Jan 20th.

Det...wow, 29F, did you get any snow? Sorry about your delivery. Is the actual print still ok? Was there any insurance on it? How disappointing. Best of luck deciding where the new homestead is going to be.

Wishing everyone a peaceful night....PPQP

Mae everybody, Det Northern Arizona is expensive, Twin Falls has no jobs but then I'm placing my stats on when I lived there in the 90's trust me I've looked everywhere else for a good place to live other than Vegas, tried a few they were ok in their own way but I always came back, I never thought I'd end up here but for me it's become home,you'll find somewhere though I just had too much going on at that time too, Mick, hope your plumbing gets sorted, PQ, that was funny about the toilet scaring you haha, I don't know what kind of B.S DT will try to pull while he's still in office, he is still the prez but he's freaking out and desperate, I don't know why as I told Lav before he seemed over the job anyways, Lav, glad you got to spend some time with your grandson over the weekend, I took Kells biting dog, I never said I was gonna have her put down like Mick thought I was saying, I just said I wanted her to get outta their house and this way we know where she is, I've always loved my grabdpuppy and now I can spoil her too much love to all and wishes for a great BF Tuesday!

Hi all and how are we today then ?hope everyone is doing good. The big thing over here is this discovery of the possible vaccine it is reliable for 90% of the population they reckon, and so far it has passed the tests .listening to the radio over here people are really really depending on it and one of the head honchos at the place where it has been developed is almost positive it will be out for Christmas they have even got a programme over here for it who will get it first etc etc ....fingers crossed this is the one. Been out in the garden today got some plants some more plants, so I've been putting them in ...also been cutting back geraniums and dividing them for next year. Julie is actually in the process of planning holidays for next year none of which involve going abroad. But there are some fantastic places we're going to visit. Next year on Christmas day we will be in Chatsworth House itself for Christmas dinner we have provisionally booked it and there were 6 places left.
Hiya pauly how are you today then? hope all is well with you. glad you not having to get the dog put down I don't know what the rules are over there but over here it's not a discussion point the dog goes which I think isn't fair but there we go. Have you started getting stuff in for Christmas?

Hiya ppqp how are you today then? hope you are feeling better thank you for your comments on my poem it just came to me to try and do a parallel between then and now so far I've had 7 people ask if I am going to publish my poems I think not what I do it's simply because I enjoy doing it you take care and look after yourself you know where I am if you need to talk PS I've been to Lethbridge to

Hiya lav how are you today ? Hope all is well. Plumber came last night cut some pipework cutout bent and soldered some new piping in drained the boiler down down refilled and bled the system and also fitted the new kitchen taps £80 pretty good price you take care

Right folks time to go and start the tea it's MasterChef here take care look after yourself

Can’t believe I got fired on my very first day as a signwirter.

Biden says Melania can stay in the White House.

A Russian agent, a white supremacist, a billionaire, a con-man and a depraved sexual deviant walk into a bar.
The barman asks, "What'll it be Mr ‘soon-to-be-ex’ President?"

Recipes for you. Rochdale Christmas Dinner.

1. Put kettle on and boil water.

2. Pour into chicken and mushroom pot noodle.

3. Garnish with a touch of heroin.

A lot of people say that Joe Biden has entered his second childhood.

Whereas Donald Trump never left his first.

Greetings Abbers,

Went turkey shopping today, now it’s in the freezer. I am planning on a scaled down dinner this year but everyone will be well fed. I have to admit putting on the whole feast by myself is just too much work anymore. My daughter-in-law invited herself to dinner but doesn’t ever help with anything, to be honest. I’ve had her parents here for many holiday meals, this year it’s just her Dad. I know what they boys will eat & my son has always eaten anything I’ve put in front of him, haha!

PQ, sorry about the weather. I just saw narilly posting there was several inches on the ground, ugh. I had to LOL about the self-flushing toilet, they are weird for sure. Hope you are feeling better now

Pauly, glad to hear you’re taking the dog. When the kids are at your house, keep them away from the dog until they are old enough to understand that she doesn’t want to play or be jumped on, whatever. I can’t blame a dog for reacting to protect themselves.
I did have to restock my kitchen today after my eating machine grandson’s visit, haha!

Mick, that’s great you got all that work done for a good price!
We’ve always had friends in the building trades so we had easy access to them when we needed help with our old houses. When we moved here into a new house we didn’t need anyone around for a long time until things started wearing out. Nothing new lasts long these days, what a pain.
I found a container of stuffed cabbage in my freezer when I was making room for the turkey today. Guess what we had for dinner?

Hello to Det, Sam, Pie, Cyn & Anjicia. Hope everyone is doing well.
Have a nice night all!
