One of the lessons of history is that nothing is often a good thing to do and always a clever thing to say.

I can only please one person per day. Today is not your day. Tomorrow is not looking good either.

I love deadlines. I especially like the Whooshing sound they make as they go flying by.

Tell me what you need, and I'll tell you how to get along without it.

Accept that some days you are the pigeon and most days the statue.

Needing someone is like needing a parachute. If he isn't there the first time, chances are you won't be needing him again.

I don't have an attitude problem, you have a perception problem.

Last night I lay in bed looking up at the stars in the sky and I thought to myself, where the [blip] is the ceiling?

My reality check bounced.

On the keyboard of life, always keep one finger on the escape key.

I don't suffer from stress. I am a carrier.

You are slower than a herd of turtles stampeding through peanut butter.

Do not meddle in the affairs of dragons, because you are crunchy and taste good with ketchup.

Everyone is someone else's weirdo.

Never argue with an idiot. They drag you down to their level then beat you with experience.

A pat on the back is only a few centimetres from a kick in the butt.

Don't be irreplaceable - if you can't be replaced, you won't be promoted.

After any salary raise, you will have less money at the end of the month than you did before.

The more [blip] you put up with, the more [blip] you are going to get.

You can go anywhere you want if you look serious and carry a clipboard.

Eat one live toad the first thing in the morning and nothing worse will happen to you for the rest of the day.

When bosses talk about improving productivity, they are never talking about themselves.

If at first you don't succeed, try again. Then quit. No use being a [blip] fool about it.

There will always be beer cans rolling on the floor of your car when the boss asks for a ride home from the office.

Everything can be filed under 'miscellaneous'.

Never delay the ending of a meeting or the beginning of the cocktail hour.

To err is human, to forgive is not our policy.

Anyone can do any amount of work provided it isn't the work he/she is supposed to be doing.

If you are good, you will be assigned all the work. If you are really good, you will get out of it.

You are always doing something marginal when the boss drops by your desk.

If it wasn't for the last minute, nothing would get done.

At work, the authority of a person is inversely proportional to the number of pens that person is carrying.

When you don't know what to do, walk fast and look worried

The last person that quit or was fired will be held responsible for everything that goes wrong.

Good morning everyboomie.

Welcome to the weekend!

I get to work half of it.

Jealous?

Have you ever divorced someone, and then had them for a house guest??

My sister is 'entertaining' her second ex for a day or two.

I'm not even sure her 3rd ex is a real ex yet.

I never even met that guy.

Anyway ex #2 is a real great guy...............except for his taste in women.

I hope you all have a happy day.

joe

Joe, that should be an interesting weekend at your house.
I blamed you for my freezing my hands yesterday now that the river isn't frozen and I spent time looking for points while the dogs swam.

I just got back from a fun night out with my friends. We ended up going bowling and I haven't been in about 8 years. I did good!

Have a happy all! I may go get my new bike today so I'll be over the moon if I do!

Ana

Morning Joe,Ana Ana hope you get to get your new bike today!Coffee is ready for who ever needs it!Happy day wished for all

Good morning Joe,Ana and all who follow.
Enjoy the weekend everyone.

Good Morning Joe, Ana, Cailyn and Haroula. It sounds like an interesting weekend. Ana how exciting a new bike. Cailyn thanks for the coffee. Haroula have a fun day. Wishing everyone a Spring Day!

Good morning everyone. To all here and all who follow, have a Wonderful Saturday. Going shopping and to lunch with best friend today. She's trying to keep me busy. Waiting to see if the antibiotics are doing their job for Robert. Ana, I hope you find the perfect bike. Danish, BB Pancakes, and French Toast in the NC.

Good Morning Boomers

Joe, your sister has to have a wonderful sense of humor seeing that she doesn't beat up on you.

Ana, Yay on the new bike!

Sue, coffee please and thank you! Have a nice day.

Haroula, a good weekend wished for you also.

Gerry, enjoy the warmer weather.

Connie, enjoy your lunch with your friend. Hope the meds are working for Robert.

Happy day wishes to All!

Super Saturday ya'll

Been a beautiful day here and will get the doggies out for a walk this afternoon once Soot gets back from morning errands.

I'm making soap, body wash, and shampoo today.

Joe, I don't think I'm a nice enough person to have someone I divorced as a houseguest....but then, I'm not a houseguest type of person.

Ana, glad you had fun. Hope you find the perfect bike.

Cailyn, thanks for the coffee.

Haroula, anything fun happening this weekend?

Gerry, happy Spring!

Connie, have fun.

Gail, what are you up to today?

Off to feed dogs. Takes a long time these days as Seagy has to be coaxed.

Geez Joe, I'm having flashbacks about the ex's coming back to visit! My 1st ex refused to move out of my house (only renting so it wasn't his either) until my 'new hubby to be' PAID him off. Yup, not kidding. Ex said he couldn't afford to move and stayed around causing me grief so 'new hubby to be' asked him how much it would take to get him out of here. He came up with a figure and the money was transferred. He moved the very same day. Oh what a mess. Wasn't as funny as your 'sister' scenario, but fun to remember those strange times.

Cool and cloudy today. Wonder where the sun went. I suspect it's not used to the new time change (like me) and is just sleeping in.

News story here for all dog lovers: Two days ago, a little English Bull Dog puppy (4 months) managed to scoot under the fence and someone picked him up. The guy (so the story is told) took him to a 'Doggie Day Care' nearby and dropped him off telling the gal in charge he found him. Soooo 20 minutes later, the gal hands the dog over to some guy (who she said she didn't know) who just walked in and said it was his dog. Not making this up. SHE refuses to talk to the news media and is very 'suspicious' acting when questioned by police. Question was how could she turn over a dog to someone she didn't know and not take any info on him??? BUT they have him on video surveillance camera with the dog going out of the day care and are now looking for him. My gut tells me the gal KNOWS this guy, called him when the dog was turned in to her, and they thought they would profit from the doggie. It's a pedigreed FOUR thousand dollar dog!

Police are investigating big time. Reward offered now of 1000 and everyone is hoping the dog gets returned. So sad for the puppy and the owners and possibly really bad for that day care gal who from all appearances did something very bad and knows it. Ugh. Something is really fishy about the entire 'gave it away' bit.

Good afternoon Boomers.

Howdy ho, sweet Joe! Thanks for the openers! I agree with Ana, Joe! I'm sure it will be an interesting weekend. Hope your Saturdiner is splendid!

Good morning, sweet 'Boomies!

Today, son and DIL are throwing Hubby a surprise birthday party at their home. Hubby is turning 60 next week. Should be a fun day!

Alrighty, off to see what's afoot!

Good afternoon boomers. Hope everyone is enjoying the weekend

Ahhhhh, back from the park and sipping smoothies. Had to cut our walk short as it was hot out there!

Good afternoon boomies! I slept way in this morning and it felt great! Slugging so far, I just don't feel motivated to slip and slide on the mud today walking the dogs. Merlin can use the break anyways.

be back...huhbby just popped home.

Happy slugging, Ana.

Sweet dreams, Haroula

Hi, everyone. Missed a couple of morning posts, as I had to hurry to work. I had the day off today, but Thorsgoats and I left early this morning to have breakfast. Going to try to catch up on what I've missed.

Hope everyone is having a great Saturday, evening.

Hello everybody.

After I got to work I told my supervisor I was sick and needed to leave. He didn't believe me for some reason, so I told him I had visitors at home.

Well I don't, but my sister does.

He said if I got done what he wanted me to do I could leave early.

I left at 6:40.

My sister IS good for something.

We had rain today but not nearly enough.

Tomorrow is only supposed to be about 45 degrees, same as today, but I suppose I could still go to the creek.

I hope you all had a nice day.

joe

How is the visit going Joe? Glad you got out early.

Nan, missing you today.

I've been a slug today except for doing laundry. It's been nice. I hope you all enjoyed your day also.

Ana

Um excuse me but what have you done with our Ana? I can't remember Ana taking a slug day. Ana. Good for you. You've certainly earned it.
Time to find my pillow as tomorrow I'll be working for the Blisses for 12 hours. Yep, that's right...12 hours. Mike is meeting his son up in ski country to try and ski(although I doubt that he'll be able to ski) as he walks with a cane. But that being said I think just getting away from the whole situation here at home, will do him a world of good. I'll be working from 8 am to 8 pm. He should be home by 5:00 but I'll be cooking dinner for them and putting Barb to bed by 8:00. We'll see how it goes. I don't mind working with Barbara tomorrow. She's such a Love.

Time to find my pillow. I didn't get much sleep last night for some reason. I've been up since 4:30 this morning. UGH!. Night all. Sleep well.

Midgie

It's going good Ana. Glad you had a relaxing type day.

Good night Midgie. Sweet dreams and get lots of rest. That's a looong work day.

Good night everybody.

joe

I think you deserve BB pancakes tomorrow since you have such a long day Midgie! I hope it goes well for you and you aren't too tired!

Joe, sorry I missed you there! Sweet dreams to you! Glad it's going well.

Night all, sleep well
