I have got to that age where the best thing about spring is not the returning migratory birds, the longer days, or even beautiful ladies wearing their thin sun dresses again

No ….

it’s the fact the mower started first pull!

Yeah, somewhat of a gross picture, but it is a cardinal sin to wash a C/E's coffee mug... and the new thumbnail has almost grown back, after having smashed the old one off, O-F-F off!

I survived last night stormageddon intact...

Wait, why is everyone talking about this storm in the past tense?

I agree 100%. Work has been crap all week, I need to sit at home and do nothing productive to disengage my brain. Hope y’all are having a better week and that you have a good day today.

Happy Thursday everyone! The weekend is just around the corner!!
Busy day at work already has me a bit behind... means it's time for a quick catch up.

Goodnight all.
What a day.
And to boot, Somehow my tax bill was off by 1.12! Insult to injury!

For that amount I hope they let you make good without any penalties.

HA! That would make a great viking metal band album cover.

Right? And I totally missed the acronym even with the name stacked like that... forest for the trees with me sometimes.

Ah well 07.30 I need to get off my bum. Only walked the dogs, turned a cubic metre of compost into the next bin on the 3year cycle and had breakfast.
Car to the garage in an hour for service and MOT then perhaps get something done!
Sleep well over the the pond!

Morning, Grey. Sounds like a busy day even before breakfast!!

I know... I hate storms... this is a nasty one... tornado warning until 4am. Flood warning til sunday......... 60 mph wind gusts and hail...
I need something.....

My youngest sibling has always hated storms, too. I remember many nights staying up late with her. Distracting her from the storms outside.

Lie back and imagine the sun on your face….. soft sounds of waves breaking … let your body sink into the sand….. let the stress filter down your arms and out of your finger tips ….. slow deep breaths in through your nose…. Out through your mouth…close your eyes feel the sun….. the sand is taking your body weight and sucking the stress out of you…..warm soft sun washing over you ….. resetting your mind ….. relaxing ….. sssssssssshhhhhhhh

Perfect!! I love a good Guided Meditation!! Thanks, Grey!!
And there's a gazillion of them out on YouTube, too.

I love broccoli! I'll eat yours!

Sold!

I hope some of that tightening concerned the assholes of the negligent parties in question

Maybe they're visual learners??

I make my own chicken bone broth. I keep "bone bags" in the freezer. I'll take a few, roast the bones in my electric roaster, then boil them for 4 days. By then, the bones have totally disintegrated and the marrow has leaked out. It makes great soups, stews, risottos, etc.

A friend of mine does this, too. So yummy, healthy, and loaded with protein.

Storms went through last night from 10 to midnight. How do I know? My old dog woke me up telling me to take them away. He spent 2 hours pacing and grumbling about the thunder.

Poor old pup... and you, too Hope you can both find time for a nap today.

Flooded streets throughout the Metro area. I am on call to assist my daughter if she gets stuck. My SUV has higher clearance. I hope she takes the freeways which are clear.

Yikes! I still remember our driver's ed teacher stressing the importance of never, ever driving through standing water.

I wonder if my trainer will accept this one??

Hmm, doubtful unless starting from zero. Even with a case, my new "brick" of a phone only comes in at 0.6 pounds (279 grams). Feels like a lot, but not when in the context of a work out. I'm sure it falls under "danger Will Robinson" for repetitive stress though.

I love thunderstorms! We don't get them often. When I get woken up by one, I get up and rearrange the chairs in the living room to watch the storm! ️🌩

Same! So long as there's no green sky - for that I hunker down. If there's no lightning, I've been known to take a walk out in the rain. Love it!!

OM, OM, are you okay?
JK - but for reals I'm not doing a repeat of Wednesday.

Isn't it Thursday today? I am confused

Hahahaha
I told my mom on Tuesday the day before was Sunday...... I have had it all backwards this week

I was too. Enough to look at my system clock to confirm.

Zuly!! Long time, no see. How are you??

Every day is Saturday here

Something to aspire to

Good morning everyone....what a night. Woke up to crazy storm and tornado sirens at like 2 AM ish?

Everything turned out ok but then of course there's trying to go back to sleep, calm the dogs etc

Anyway.... Coffee it is!

We had our "First Wednesday of the Month" sirens kick off at 1pm. Had to remember what day it was - then was reminded to change out my furnace filter.

It was more a question of "I'm the only f**ker in this place for the next few hours so I might as well stop talking to myself and do something useful"

Did you prep the coffee machine and wash the dishes in the sink for OM?
Jk - thanks for picking up the slack while most of the rest of us were sleeping.

Excellent point... I had a Guardian Angel on my shoulder, tell me "Dude, you've been wearing us out for 59 years and it's been really tiresome. You're on your own."

They ditched you? Dude! That is so... not good.

Maybe too subtle... It was a nod to the Madagascar "Oh Sugar Honey Ice Tea" clip...

We were just talking about Madagascar... LOL

I'll have to up my game. The only one of those I consistently remember is "C U Next Tuesday". I mean, it's a good one but I'm sure there's room for a few more yet in my brain. ️

Back in the office.

Meetings! Here it goes again…

I'm not scheduled to disengage the brain until @ the 17th or so. JK - I'm sure I can fit some in sooner than that Happy Friday Eve as my co-workers like to call it

Is that engine oil, or breakfast?

I keep waiting for @Wonderer67 to say, "Yes"

According to the statement, we had to pay ¢1 in interest! (true)

The bank’ll figure it all out.

My brain immediately transported me to...

Very interesting!!! Perpetual interest and debt!

These bloodsuckers will get all of the money owed them. I’d give it to them I. Cash if they’d accept it.

Me to the tax collector: “heres your interest, fuckface!”

"mower pull thingy", You're so cute!

Haha.... you know what I was talking about though.... I also explain noises I hear with sounds ...

"It is going bang bang hiss"

Haha

 

[Missk_2022]

Got a haircut..... I love getting hair cuts

 

[Missk_2022]

I am working on being less critical and it is hard because people keep getting more people-y

Café Bustelo... the most bang for the buck that I've ever found, plus, it had never "burned" my gut... I highly recommend it!
