    hiya det ..you ok mate..sounds like you are back on the hoss ......

    That kid of mine tore the shop down in a spiteful tantrum and made me look a right muppet just because I couldn't find a Coke bottle with his name on it.

    Anyway, he settled down a bit when I promised him his face would be on every milk carton in the county soon.

    I used to teach history, but thats all in the past.

    I started teaching biology but my heart wasn't in it.

    I tried teaching chemistry, but there were elements i didnt understand.

    I was offered a job teaching maths, but something didn't add up.

    I was sent to Germany to do food science, that was the wurst.

    I've started teaching physics, its got potential.

    Deliverance County currently has a zero rating on Tripadvisor.

    Way down in the heat of Texas there was a teacher helping one of her kindergarten students put on his cowboy boots?

    He asked for help and she could see why...

    Even with her pulling and him pushing, the little boots still didn't want to go on. By the time they got the second boot on, she had worked up a sweat.

    She almost cried when the little boy said, 'Teacher, they're on the wrong feet.' She looked, and sure enough, they were. It wasn't any easier pulling the boots off than it was putting them on. She managed to keep her cool as together they worked to get the boots back on, this time on the right feet...


    He then announced, 'These aren't my boots.'

    She bit her tongue rather than get right in his face and scream, 'Why didn't you say so?' like she wanted to. Once again, she struggled to help him pull the ill-fitting boots off his little feet. No sooner had they gotten the boots off when he said, 'They're my brother's boots. My mom made me wear 'em.'

    Now she didn't know if she should laugh or cry. But, she mustered up what grace and courage she had left to wrestle the boots on his feet again.

    Helping him into his coat, she asked, 'Now, where are your mittens?'

    He said, 'I stuffed 'em in the toes of my boots.'

    She will be eligible for parole in three years!


    Liverpool airport has been shut for the past 8 hours due to a "suspicious car".



    Apparently it had tax, insurance and the radio was still in it.

    Police attending an incident in Liverpool returned to their car to find it up on bricks.
    Officers are working tyrelessly to find the culprit.

    Labour have pledged to invest in Merseyside and create 100,000 jobs if they win the election.

    The Conservatives now regard Liverpool as a safe seat.

    A Scouser went on Dragons Den, the Dragons asked him what his idea was to make money.
    At this point the Scouser pulls out a satchel and a sawn off shotgun.
    He says to the Dragons, "It's a simple concept, fill the satchel with all your valuables and money or I'll fcking shoot you"

    I went to see my uncle the other day.
    He said "I'm fcking sick of being here, I've got scousers to the left, scousers to the right, scousers above and fcking scousers below.

    I said "I understand that uncle, but you've got to remember one thing,
    you are in prison after all.

    A Scouser takes his telescopic fishing rod back to the tackle shop to ask for a refund.
    "What's wrong sir, wrong casting weight?"
    "No mate, the eyes are catching on the letterbox"

    99% of Liverpool actually voted to stay in Europe...

    "It's feckin great like," said one scouser, "all dese foreigners having our jobs."

    On the trains: "See it, say it, sort it". except in Liverpool of course where it's, See it, steal it, sell it.

    Re: 13th September

    Greetings all!

    Lots of clouds today but not hot so that’s OK with me.
    Found myself mopping floors & washing windows. I didn’t plan to do it, it just happened haha!! I guess I should have more days like that, geez.

    Mick, you seem to be feeling better today, hope you are.
    I was so reluctant with the last dental work I had done I was ready to refuse &just say screw it. But, now I’m glad I had it done & everything is working OK.
    I don’t want to make any generalizations but the typical (older) farmer around here is pretty wanker-ish & not overly educated. When I read postings like the one I saw the other day I just have to join in the laughter. The problem is these people are voting too & that depresses me. I know they’re all voting Republican because their parents & grandparents did. They do not take a damn minute to read current events & even know WHO they are voting for, ugh
    I very much want to put a Biden/Harris sign on my front yard but I’m afraid they would shoot at it, Lol

    Det, hope your day was good, Pauly you too!

    Pie, check in, it’s been a while

    Hello to Sam & Cyn! I think Cyn may be making her way back home soon & will be posting soon.

    Wishing everyone a decent night!

      MAE ALL...

      Busy weekend for me. Landlord is going to replace all my appliances and he was at the store texting me for measurements and pictures of the fridge, stove, washer & dryer. He's also going to replace the flooring in the kitchen/utility room so more pictures and measurements. Moved all the furniture around so the delivery guys could get the appliances in. Then discovered a 48hr notice in the mailbox about redoing the deck so that's supposed to happen today. Had to make more room to move all the stuff off the deck. We've decided it's a good time to get rid of all the junk that has accumulated so the boys will be busy today. Good day to go to work me thinks. LOL They're starting work on my office today so hopefully by the end of the week I can get moved back in and settled. I refuse to unpack my temporary workstation just to repack it so I've been working out of boxes.

      Mick...good to see you're feeling a bit better. I hope you don't end up having to doctor the peskies after their free for all. Were you able to get a hold of the medicine you need yet? At least your weather is behaving for you.

      Lav...you're probably right about the lawn sign becoming target practice. LOL It was more smoky than cloudy here yesterday. I'm going to have to be extra careful when outside. Good to hear TG is heading home, I've missed her posts. Keep checking the tracking site but there's been no change on my end. I'm not worried though, last package you sent arrived at the door a day before the tracking was updated.

      Thinking of the rest of the gang and hoping all is good with everyone. Have a great BF Monday all....:smile:PPQP

        Mae everybody, Mick waking up to scouser jokes, what could be better hah! Yep put some greens out and the animals are sure to find it and get a teeny ladder or something to get to it so it seems, those tortoises in my backyard can reach ANYTHING that's not up on the table out there! Lav, they were out in full force here yesterday cuz DT was in town, PQ, how's things going? Sam Pie? Det, are you glad it's been a bit cooler? There was lots of good delivery orders yesterday but I only took one in the morning cuz I had the boys, Romeo has had an allergic reaction to something in my house for the past two Sundays and I can't figure out what it could be, I'm suspecting the guinea pigs? I've always had them but he might have developed an allergy to them or their waste, I felt SO bad for him I called Kell to come get them earlier than she usually does, his eye was swelling up like he'd been in the ring with Tyson poor kid, any ideas Lav as to what it could be? All of a sudden allergies? Anyhoo much love to all and wishes for a great BF Monday!
        I have too much shit to do today and tomorrow to drink:sohappy:

        I'm taking care of the "tomorrow me":thumbsup:
        Drinkin won't help a damn thing! Will only make me sick for DAYS and that ugly, spacey dumb feeling-no thanks!

          Your Annual Dementia Test

          It's that time of year to take our annual senior citizen test.

          Exercise of the brain is as important as exercise of the muscles.

          As we grow older, it's important to keep mentally alert. If you don't use it, you lose it!

          Below is a very private way to gauge your loss or non-loss of intelligence.

          Take the test presented here to determine if you're losing it or not.

          The spaces below are so you don't see the answers until you've made your answer.

          OK, relax, clear your mind and begin.



          1. What do you put in a toaster?





          Answer: 'bread.' If you said 'toast,' give up now and do something else.
          Try not to hurt yourself.

          If you said, bread, go to Question 2.






          2. Say ' silk' five times. Now spell 'silk.' What do cows drink?






          Answer: Cows drink water. If you said 'milk,' don't attempt the next question.

          Your brain is over-stressed and may even overheat.

          Content yourself with reading a more appropriate literature such as Auto World.

          However, if you said 'water', proceed to question 3.





          3. If a red house is made from red bricks and a blue house is made from blue bricks and a pink house is made from pink bricks and a black house is made from black bricks,

          what is a green house made from?




          Answer: Greenhouses are made from glass. If you said 'green bricks,' why are you still reading these???If you said 'glass,' go on to Question 4.




          4. It's twenty years ago, and a plane is flying at 20,000 feet over Germany

          (If you will recall, Germany at the time was politically divided into West Germany and East Germany .)

          Anyway, during the flight, two engines fail. The pilot, realizing that the last remaining engine

          is also failing, decides on a crash landing procedure. Unfortunately the engine fails before he can do

          so and the plane fatally crashes smack in the middle of 'no man's land' between East Germany

          and West Germany .

          Where would you bury the survivors? East Germany , West Germany , or no man's land'?




          Answer: You don't bury survivors. If you said ANYTHING else, you're a dunce and you must stop.




          If you said, 'You don't bury survivors', proceed to the next question.




          5. Without using a calculator!

          You are driving a bus from London to Milford Haven in Wales .

          In London , 17 people get on the bus.

          In Reading , six people get off the bus and nine people get on.

          In Swindon , two people get off and four g et on.

          In Cardiff , 1 1 people get off and 16 people get on.

          In Swansea , three people get off and five people get on .

          In Carmathen, six people get off and three get on. You then arrive at Milford Haven.

          What was the name of the bus driver?






          Answer: Oh, for crying out loud!
          Don't you remember your own name? It was YOU!!



          Never mind, it part of getting old.....

            Re: 13th September

            Happy Unhung Monday ABeroooodles!

            ah, nice relaxing weekend for us peeps and Pauly, yes this cooler weather is a blessing for sure.
            made it to a new (to us) Persian restaurant on Sat and it was really good. They also had a deli section
            for specialty Middle Eastern foods so I stocked up on a few weird things.

            Mick, bunnies made their own salad then? hope they didn't overeat too much. We had kale last night come to think
            of it along with some killer ribs I did over mesquite. yummo!

            which insane out of touch old white guy will I be voting for? aaaaagh! please tell me this is just a bad dream.

            not sure if I mentioned before but all 3 of our new passports have arrived. yeah! wooo! I feel better now just knowing I can
            travel even though many places are still closed such as Italy. boo! hopefully soon.....

            PPQ, a full home makeover? that's pretty darn exciting.

            Lav, cleaning floors can be a real workout. thanks for the note on Cyn.

            Pie? helloo....hope all is well

            Sam? all good?

            well, 3 shoots today including a twilight so it will be a late one and no gym...oh well. I certainly need the work
            so no complaints here.

            ok, off to see the wizard... be well loves!

              Re: 13th September

              Good evening Abbers,

              It’s currently 68 degrees, no humidity, I am happy
              Could this actually be fall arriving or will we get hit with another heat wave or two?? Who knows?
              I heard #45 told CA today that it will ‘get colder’. WTF?
              Nearly 30 dead, 22 missing in the wildfires, how sad.

              PQ, you’re going to have a brand new place, that’s awesome!!
              I hope they get your office done quickly as well. I have more masks to mail out tomorrow so I’ll check on the status of yours as well. I still don’t know why mail goes east from here to NJ before turning northwest to get to you, haha!!

              Pauly, kids & allergies, ugh! When they are real small like Romeo they constantly have their hands in their eyes & mouth. He could be reacting to something you used to clean with, that’s not unusual. I keep a small bottle of Benadryl liquid to dose the kids quickly. Until they’re big enough to wash their own hands, especially after touching pets, you really need to keep wiping their hands for them. Hope he feels better soon.

              Mick, I think I passed the dementia test, LOL
              Glad yo are on the mend today & enjoying a nice day! Washed a few more windows today, no floor mopping.

              Det, you sound better too, I’m glad!
              So you think Italy will be your #1 trip some day? That would be nice.
              Btw - I don’t think Biden is out of touch & we should feel safe voting for him. He truly does care about people & the planet unlike that big orange turd in the WH.

              Hello to Pie, Sam & Cyn.

              Have a nice night all!

                      one shoot down, two to go, just popped home for a quick bite.

                      Lav, yes Italy strikes my fancy for some reason and always have so I need to at least visit and get a feel for the place...someday! ack.
                      so glad you've got the cool weather. Cranking back up to 100 here.

                      Mick, thanks much and I'll gladly take you up on some tourist advice.

                      Pauly, it's sad that our politics is just as messed up as everything else is this year and it's hard to keep my chin up at times that's for sure.
                      I'm now just trying to look upon it with some kind of twisted humor. surely from a nation of 330 million we can do a whole lot better than this
                      but I digress. This is going to be one hell of a New Year's Eve party I'm guessing and I'll be staying away from downtown as usual.

                      Sam, maybe a guy wearing a bunny as a mask would be our Mick.. hmmm.

                      Just read the new bombshell report from defected Chinese scientist Li-Meng Yan and wow... be interesting to see what precipitates now.

                      won't be home til about 4:30, then gym and something for dinner... dunno what yet but it needs to be simple and fast. Any ideas?
                      I'll be doing a Persian shirazi salad for sure as that's become a family fav.

                      otay, back off to the races

                        Re: 13th September

                        Greetings Abbers,

                        Completely dark at 7:30 pm, no evening walks for me anymore. I’ll have to get myself & the dog out in the mornings!! Chilly here but I love that

                        Sam, I think that probably wasn’t Mick. He’s more likely to wear a rabbit mask, haha!!!
                        Any more coyote sounds?

                        Pauly, speaking of animal allergies, I got a rabbit when I was in high school & came home from school one day to find my dad had gotten rid of him. I never forgave or forgot that so years later I got one for my kids. That’s when I found out I developed an allergy to rabbits, uh oh. It happens!
                        #45 is in Philly tonight & there’s a huge protest planned, haha.

                        Mick, keep those plans for the garden in your head until next spring. Too late now for this year I think.

                          morning all,
                          dang, it's almost chilly out, 46º (F).
                          Lav, still have coyotes sounding off, but not as bad.
                          Mick, I'm all for our "leader" to quit/lose his job ASAP! I'm not sure I can endure another 4 years of all this winning.

                          spoke with my brother who lives out near Seattle, he did a video chat with his phone and walked outside, the smoke was pretty bad. What a disaster for so many people.

                          waves to you Det, Pauly, PQ, PI, TG!

                            Mae everybody, Sam, my daughter is by Portland and their skies are smokey too very scary. Mick, at least you get to be at the funeral to pay your respects, a few months ago it wouldn't have been able to happen, Lav, yep I think we develop allergies as we go along, look how when we were kids and could eat cheese and drink milk without a second thought, now no, not that it's a food allergy but I think a sensitivity toward it is pretty close to an allergy, Det, you sound busy and that's good slept so odd last night, like that weird sleep where you can't tell if you're asleep cuz you're still aware of everything, meh sick of sleep issues, it's not every night but still it blows! PQ, hope things are going smoothly, much love to the gang and wishes for a great BF Wednesday!
                            I have too much shit to do today and tomorrow to drink:sohappy:

                            I'm taking care of the "tomorrow me":thumbsup:
                            Drinkin won't help a damn thing! Will only make me sick for DAYS and that ugly, spacey dumb feeling-no thanks!

                              It's kind of understandable how Donald Trump can stand there and tell us that global warming is a myth.

                              After all, he doesn't live on the same planet as the rest of us.

                              The earth is moving at 1,000 miles per hour!
                              I don't know about you, but I think we need more police in space.

                              I jumped in the shower this morning.

                              After working up a sweat, I turned the water on.

                              "Sir, why are you drinking on the floor?" asked the cafe waiter.
                              "This is ground coffee," I replied.

                              I can't believe how upset my wife got when I told her I am considering starting to keep a bear as a pet.

                              She said she wasn't worried about her safety, just "competition" at the fridge.

                              KETTLE Lives Matter!
                              After generations of abuse, kettles finally speak out over vile and racist treatment by pots.

                              Ever heard of a Shakespearean omelette?
                              You only add ham,

                              On the news, I saw a 59-year-old woman living in a van because she can not get a house. She needs to get on a ferry to France, burn her passport, and come back in a dingy.

                              Matt Hancock was visiting an old people’s home as a publicity stunt to show how sympathetic he was to the covid problem in the elderly.

                              He went up to an old lady in a wheelchair and said “ Do you know who I am?”

                              “No” she said “ but if you ask the nurse on the front desk she will tell you “

                              A journalist is interviewing David Beckham about Inter Miami.

                              "David - there are some ridiculous transfer rumours flying around, how do you respond to them?"

                              Beckham sighs and says, "They're not ridiculous transfers, they're real tattoos."
