Good morning, Danish, Donuts and Bagels in the Break Room. I miss the snow. Lunch and Netflix with a friend today, bowling at the Eagles tonight. Have a lovely day everyone.

Good morning Connie, Gerry, TaintedFury, SpaceQuestFan, Hagatha and anyone else who gets the chance to pop in for a chat. Glad to hear you enjoyed the movie Gerry...thank you for the coffee. I'm up for an asiago cheese bagel this morning. Hagatha, hopefully with time the cats will get acqainted again. Yes, indeed SpaceQuestFan...it's Hump Day's eve. TaintedFury, hope the nice weather returns and stays longer. I miss the snow too Connie but have my memories...enjoy Netflix at lunch and bowling tonight. Take care everyone!

Hagatha maybe the kitties are not getting along because they are getting frisky because Spring is here!

Gerry

A good friend had her three cats who are siblings start not getting along and being mean to each other. She never knew what happened either, but after awhile, they all started getting along again.

I'm still adjusting to not having Pita to take care of all day long. The other two have just started exploding with shedding cat hair! My house has "tumbleweeds" of it everywhere! I have to empty my little vacuum cleaner bin often!

Got my tomato seeds started and my pepper plants under the grow lights in the basement. I swear every single one of my Chichimeca pepper seeds germinated! I must have at least 60 of them! They are a wonderful huge pepper perfect for making jalapeno poppers, but good grief! What am I doing to do with all of these! I will try to give away as many as I can.

Good Morning Connie, soot, hagatha, Draclvr and everyone. I love your description of your shedding cats! That is a lot of pepper plants!

Double dark strong coffee, tea and hot chocolate await you all.

Enjoy Hump Day!

Gerry

Good morning, Danish, Donuts and Bagels in the Break Room. Enjoy your day everyone.

And, Gerry, that's not counting the OTHER 100 pepper plants that germinated of different varieties! Naturally I started way too many tomato seeds last Sunday too. But I don't like to save seeds from year to year. As always I will be giving away lots of plants!

I call that pepper potty, but good for you Drac!

My brother (Brian) sent us this link yesterday reminding us of how life sometimes imitates art... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sFBOQzSk14c - some of the comments are also worth reading

Good morning, Danish, Donuts and Bagels in the Break Room. Auditing the books for the ladies Aux at the Eagles today. Wine and friends for ladies night tonight. Enjoy your day everyone.

Had a terrible scare yesterday. When they started reporting on the school shooting in Denver, as soon as I saw the pictures on TV of the school I knew it was my son's school. I was able to talk to him later in the day and he and a bunch of his teacher friends were drinking at his house. They were all furious and frustrated. The kid was expelled from a school in Florida in January for bringing guns to campus and was getting patted down every morning. To make things worse there was an assembly that morning and there were at least 1,000 kids in the auditorium. I was horrified that two faculty members were conducting these pat downs. My son said they got rid of the two armed Resource Officers a couple of years ago despite the faculty begging them to bring them back. He had just attended the funeral of a 16 year old student on Saturday who was murdered in front of the school. They just don't feel safe there at all.

Hope to talk to him more today - he had to hang up because he had press at the door and had to tell them to go away.

I read a little of that story yesterday Drac, and thought "how ridiculous to have to pat a student down everyday", a very unsafe feeling for all.

And a lot of good it did, when those directed to pat him down were faculty. If you're looking for a gun, shouldn't you have a professional doing it? Even worse, my son said none of the rest of the faculty was made aware of this situation. I certainly hope some heads will roll over this.

Good morning, Danish, Donuts and Bagels in the Break Room. It's sad, but all schools should have an armed Resource Officer.

Especially one with 2,500 students in a huge city, Connie.

What a cold dreary day ahead! It rained last night with thunder and lightning. Bella the Bloodhound usually refuses to come inside to sleep, but last night she definitely wanted to be inside - she hates thunder!

A worrying time for you Drac, and an ongoing issue: sadly, such incidents have become so commonplace in USA that it did not even make the news in UK (unless it was well hidden in one of the newspapers).

Hope you all have a good weekend.

Good Morning everyone and Happy Saturday! Draclvr glad your son was okay after that terrible incident. You must have been so scared! Coffee, tea and hot chocolate are ready to start your day.

Lex your link was too funny!

Enjoy your Saturday!

Kaki's Sister Very true I wouldn't want a blizzard either but gazing out the window with a hot cocoa in my hand & watching snow fall would be lovely.... I wish you a lovely & fun day..

G' Day Soot The nice weather returned shortly but now we're having typical Autum weather, I hope you have a terrific day..


Draclvr Hopefully you get to talk more with your son & I truly hope that it works out for him...


Take care Happy Gaming Boomers

Good morning everyone: hopefully a good cup of coffee is energising you all!

Some punniness for the weekend:

I once dated a guy who broke up with me because I only have 9 toes. Yes, he was lack toes intolerant.

Did you know ants never get sick? It's because they have anty bodies.

You can't blame anyone else if you fall in your driveway...it's your own asphalt.

I've started telling everyone about the benefits of eating dried grapes. It's all about raisin awareness.

I've started investing in stocks: beef, vegetable, chicken. One day I hope to be a bouillianaire.

If you boil a funny bone, it becomes a laughing stock. Now that's humerus.

I accidentally rubbed ketchup in my eyes. Now I have Heinzsight.

Did you know muffins spelled backwards is what you do when you take them out of the oven?

Scientifically, a raven has 17 primary wing feathers, the big ones at the end of the wing. They are called pinion feathers. A crow has 16. So, the difference between a raven and a crow is only a matter of a pinion.

I was walking in the jungle and saw a lizard on his hind legs telling jokes. I turned to a local tribal leader and said, "That lizard is really funny!" The leader replied, "That's not a lizard. He's a stand-up chameleon.

I tried to come up with a carpentry pun that woodwork. I thought I nailed it but nobody saw it.

Just spoke with Bill Withers and told him "Ain't No Sunshine" is bad grammar. He said, "I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know."

Singing in the shower is fine until you get soap in your mouth. Then it's a soap opera.

The Black-Eyed Peas can sing us a song but the chick peas can only hummus one.

Then there was the time Fruit of the Loom took Hanes to court... it was a brief case.

How much does a chimney cost? Nothing, it's on the house.

My friend said she wouldn't eat cow's tongue because it came out of a cow's mouth. I gave her an egg.

Once upon a time there was a King who was only 12 inches tall. He was a terrible King but he made a great ruler.

Ran out of toilet paper and now using lettuce leaves. Today was just the tip of the iceberg, and tomorrow romaines to be seen.

My friend Jack says he can communicate with vegetables. That's right...Jack and the beans talk.

I want to tell you about a girl who only eats plants. You probably have not heard of herbivore.

I was struggling to understand how lightning works and then it struck me.

Six cows were smoking joints and playing poker. That's right. The steaks were pretty high.

I went to the paint store to get thinner. It didn't work.

Good morning, Danish, Donuts and Bagels in the Break Room. Lex, thanks for the chuckles this morning. Dinner and karaoke at the Eagles tonight. Have a lovely day everyone.

Draclvr, that is horrifying.

My cats seem to have calmed down. I've noticed that Willow is back to chasing Dude all the time, and generally being a jerk, not letting him come in through the cat flap and sneaking up behind him to sniff the end of his tail, which he hates. However, although he looks like an innocent little puffball, he retaliates by waiting until she stops eating and then stealing her remaining food. She then retaliates by using his litter box. And on it goes. On the other hand, they were both crashed out in front of the fire yesterday. There's never been a fight, thankfully. I might have to start using the Feliway diffusers again. They did seem to help.

Good ones, Lex! I wish the paint thinner one would work!

I'm heading down to the horse rescue shortly to work our first Wagon Days. I'll be conducting wagon rides to the back of the 165 acre property and tours of the barns and paddocks. It's quite chilly out and I think we got over 4" of rain last night and the day before! So it will be a muddy and not very pleasant day!

Taintedfury hope you have a great day too. Lex thedre are some really funny ones...made me laugh out loud! Enjoy your dinner out Connie. Hagatha sounds like Willow and Dude are getting along like little kids...naughty then nice, depending on their mood! Draclvr hope it's not to muddy for the wagon rides.

A cloudy showery day here...in need of some nice strong hot tea.

Enjoy the day!

Gerry

Hey Ho everyone ... it's great to see you all ... and it's easy to tell when work keeps me off the internet

I ready for a cup of hot chocolate and bed ... have a wonderful evening y'all.

Good Morning Taintedfury, Lex, Connie, hagatha, Draclvr, soot and everyone. Super double dark brew coffee, extra strong tea, and very dark chocolate hot chocolate are ready to start your day! Hubby is making Belgium waffles this morning...my favorite.
