It is one of the blessings of old friends that you can afford to be stupid with them.

Funny British Signs
A collection of seriously funny signs found in Great Britain, but could really be found pretty much anywhere...

1. IN A LAUNDROMAT: Automatic washing machines. Please remove all your clothes when the light goes out.

2. IN A LONDON DEPARTMENT STORE: Bargain Basement Upstairs

3. IN AN OFFICE: Would the person who took the step ladder yesterday kindly bring it back or further steps will be taken.

4. IN ANOTHER OFFICE: After the tea break, staff should empty the teapot and stand upside down on the draining board.

5. ON A CHURCH DOOR: This is the gate of Heaven. Enter ye all by this door. (This door is kept locked because of the draft. Please use side entrance.)

6. OUTSIDE A SECOND-HAND SHOP: We exchange anything - bicycles, washing machines etc. Why not bring your wife along and get a wonderful bargain?

7. QUICKSAND WARNING: Quicksand. Any person passing this point will be drowned. By order of the District Council.

8. NOTICE IN A DRY CLEANER'S WINDOW: Anyone leaving their garments here for more than 30 days will be disposed of.

9. IN A HEALTH FOOD SHOP WINDOW: Closed due to illness.

10. SPOTTED IN A SAFARI PARK: Elephants Please Stay In Your Car.

11. SEEN DURING A CONFERENCE: For anyone who has children and doesn't know it, there is a day care on the first floor.

12. NOTICE IN A FIELD: The farmer allows walkers to cross the field for free, but the bull charges.

13. MESSAGE ON A LEAFLET: If you cannot read, this leaflet will tell you how to get lessons.

14. ON A REPAIR SHOP DOOR: We can repair anything (Please knock hard on the door - the bell doesn't work.)

15. SPOTTED IN A TOILET IN A LONDON OFFICE BLOCK: Toilet out of order. Please use floor below.

Funny Instructions
Some examples of why the human race has probably evolved as far as possible. These are actual instruction labels on consumer goods...

On Sears hairdryer:
Do not use while sleeping.
(Gee, that's the only time I have to work on my hair!)

On a bag of Fritos:
You could be a winner! No purchase necessary. Details inside.
(The shoplifter special!)

On a bar of Dial soap:
Directions: Use like regular soap.
(and that would be how?)

On some Swann frozen dinners:
Serving suggestion: Defrost.
(But it's 'just' a suggestion!)

On Tesco's Tiramisu dessert: (printed on bottom of the box)
Do not turn upside down.
(Too late! you lose!)

On Marks & Spencer Bread Pudding:
Product will be hot after heating.
(Are you sure? Let's experiment.)

On packaging for a Rowenta iron:
Do not iron clothes on body.
(But wouldn't that save more time?)
(Whose body?)

On Boot's Children's cough medicine:
Do not drive car or operate machinery.
(We could do a lot to reduce the construction accidents if we just kept those 5 year olds off those fork lifts.)

On Nytol sleep aid:
Warning: may cause drowsiness.
(One would hope!)

On a Korean kitchen knife:
Warning: keep out of children.
(hmm...something must have gotten lost in the translation...)

On a string of Christmas lights:
For indoor or outdoor use only.
(As opposed to use in outer space.)

On a food processor:
Not to be used for the other use.
(Now I'm curious.)

On Sainsbury's peanuts:
Warning: contains nuts.
(but no peas?)

On an American Airlines packet of nuts:
Instructions: open packet, eat nuts.
(somebody got paid big bucks to write this one...)

On a Swedish chainsaw:
Do not attempt to stop chain with your hands.
(Raise your hand if you've tried this...)

On a child's Superman costume:
Wearing of this garment does not enable you to fly.
(Oh go ahead! That's right, destroy a universal childhood belief.)

Good morning everyboomie. welcome


Life marches on.......or should I say time marches on. wink12


I just hope it keeps time with the band. yay12


Today is the first day of the rest.......... lol12


No, today I am dog sitting. My friends across the street, have to go to Oklahoma City for medical appointments, and I am keeping their two dogs all day. bravo12


One of them is Missy's brother Beau, and the other is a 10 year old Sheltie named Lanny. He's a sweetie, and so is Beau. puppy


So, not many plans other than that. Not sure if I can get Lanny to go to the park. He's doesn't care for car rides. lab


I don't either when my sister's driving. wink12


I didn't think I was going to make it to Dallas and back alive. pacify


Have a happy day everyone.

Good morning everybody. santa

I woke up at 4:30 this morning needing a bathroom trip, and then didn't sleep much after that. I got up at 6:30 and started getting my breakfast and coffee before the neighbors brought the dogs over. Then at 8:15 my neighbor called me and told me that they called and cancelled her appointment just when they were ready to leave. duh12

That's a 2 1/2 hour drive. Glad they called early. slapforehead

So now I think I'll be going to Walmart today for groceries. Those guys might call back and want her there tomorrow, when I was planning on going for groceries.

It was very overcast early, but the clouds are starting to thin out a little. It's going to be 51 for the high point today. They are saying we'll have 'episodes' of sunshine. I hope they're not reruns. wink12

Ana I went to Dallas last month, and I made the mistake of letting my sister drive. We were driving through very heavy traffic in pouring rain through downtown Dallas, and I thought I was going to die. lol12

God bless my sister for giving up her day off to accompany me down there. I love her, but I thought she was going to drive my new truck into the concrete construction barriers that are all over the place down there, because of all the construction that never ends. I know I could have put my arm out the window and touched them, and I almost rolled the window down to try and push them away. I kept saying, "WATCH IT, WATCH IT!! scared

We were both a wreck by the time we got there. haha

Have a great day everyone.

Terrific Tuesday ya'll puppy

Dogs and I are back from a nice walk in the neighborhood. It was raining at the top of the hill, but not in any other part of the neighborhood. Then I sat down to send out my "tag" and got diverted by the internet until Sky decided to remind me that they needed to be fed.

MaG, I hope you heal quickly.

Ana, what room(s) are you painting? What color?

Haroula, tooth fairy! How fun!

Joe, I hate driving next to those concrete barriers. Scares me to death.

Nan, did you have fun in Chicago?

Happy Tuesday to everyone! I think I finally finished my Christmas Shopping. Whew! Then I added up all the money I'd spent over the last 2 weeks and screamed. I must admit I'd bought some good stuff for good people, and a lot of essentials for ME, but wow, the cash just flies away. Amazing. I've resolved not to use any credit cards this month so let's see how that one goes. think
