Very interesting!

I sort of knew that stuff but you articulated it far better than I ever could have.

I work in insurance and I know brexit caused us to open offices in Ireland (which is in the EU). Anyway…. On to bigger and better things.

US beat Geat Britain (not England) in rugby today at the Olympics.

Wife and I are switching back and forth between Olympic gymnastics, equestrian and the Mets beating the twins.

This gymnasts are AMAZING to watch (men and women.)
Safer ground, well played.
 
Evening all... long day at work then a hand therapy appointment and some errands. Foraged for dinner and now a short window before it's time to wrap it up for the night.

Hand is doing well. Got new exercises and massages to start. Should heal up with just the PT and massages. No more clinic visits unless things regress. All forward progress so far. :nana: Love getting a good report card.

Busy afternoon today...

BTW I told the guy I wasn't using him to do my yard. He wanted constructive feedback so I said its best if you keep personal life and business separate.
good advice
don't :poop: where you 🍽️
And the submissives on edge....lol. ( I can imagine what everyone's thinking of me)....lol
all good!
I have noted a certain confusion amongst bar staff as to what constitutes pissy tea. I hope this will help. Anything darker will be politely returned unless I get a jug of half n half on the side.

Thank you
lightly flavored milk - got it ;)
all in good fun. BTW - you can have my milk... I'm not going to drink it 🥛More for your... tea
I need them.... my sister and brother-in-law used to own an insurance agency. My sister got very sick so they had to sell the agency. My brother-in-law stayed on as an agent for the new company. Originally I liked this company, but they have no customer service they raise their rates willy-nilly like in 3 years my car insurance is doubled and my house insurance has gone up 50%. No claims no accidents. I did get a speeding ticket but it's the only thing on my record for 20 years. I know they did raise rates for all insurance companies which is fine I understand it I get it everything's costing more but 50% and double. And this agent he is non-communicative. My sister added her son cuz he got his license and instead of adding him he replaced her with him to shoot her around without insurance for a year and didn't know it. And he won't return her phone calls to respond to it. Anyway that's her issue. But I need to figure it all out so send me all the advice you want to give me
Family - can't live with them, not worth going to prison for... you know 🔪 🤷‍♀️
🍀 Hope you find a new agent soon!
I can officially be a part of this thread today :cool: Tell me some good things about hitting the 50's. Please

Happy Birthday!
Anyway, off to bed. I'll read for a bit.
Sorry I missed you, Wat. Happy reading. 📚 Snuggle up that clowder for the rest of us cat lovers. 😻🐈🐈‍⬛
I recently came back after a long stretch. Most of my old friends aren't here anymore. That was sad to see, btw.
Ditto. I've seen about 3 or 4 from back when and only 1 has reached out for a brief reconnect.
On the one hand - I miss them.
On the other - it's been a bit over a decade and time marches on
Welcome back and welcome to the café

Insurance is up over here too, especially car insurance. It's to pay for all of the accidents caused by uninsured drivers, and the key fob locks that can be hacked by thieves.

Glad your hand is coming along well!!

Great news!
 
So dumb ass move of the day.

I know I’m among friends so I can share my dumb move. After work and dinner, I decided to mow the lawn. Filled up the lawn mower with gas but forgot and had the cap on the nozzle….

So gas started leaking and pouring out and a bunch got on my pants just below my waistline. I’m annoyed. Fill the fuckin tank and decided “I’ll just mow the lawn, anyway.”

About two circuits in I’m feeling a burning where the gas spilled. Getting worse and hurting more…. Knocked out the circuit and went into the garage and stripped. Jumped in the pool and then washed it w soapy water.

I forgot how caustic gas can be. I got covered in hydraulic fluid once when I was in the army and I had to immediately wash down.

So I have a nice red welt right near my private area. It’s fine tho.

Fuels are no joke.

Just sharing.
Thqnk God you didn't light a match and roast your...... 🌭 ......

Seriously a good reminder for all of us and I qm glad you are ok.....

Just a ? What did Mrs. Wonderer say?
 
I forgot how caustic gas can be.
So is chlorine... and sometimes it takes a few hours for the full extent of the burn to show itself. 🫂 Take care!!
One of my favorites. I would have like to see the surfing too.
YouTube has some clips... gymnastics, surfing, air rifle, synchronized diving... a bit of everything (I think)
I hadn’t seen it either. But they showed the waves. Totally bad ass looking.
Getting to it. The still looked "Hawaii 5-O" (original) worthy. 🌊

When I turned 50 my present to myself was to jettison any and all toxic people out of my life. In one fell swoop, i got rid of the PITA’s. It’s been almost seven years and I only have one left, but he’s not really toxic, just clueless. He’s also a childhood friend and I’m loyal if anything. So he will get a pass. As others have said, enjoy this time. It really can be special, just YOU make it so. For me it was unloading a couple or three burrs under the saddle.

BTW…Happy Birthday! Welcome to the room, it’s a great place with great people. Here’s a pro-tip…don’t say anything bad about baking, cakes, coffee, pissy tea, motor bikes, pumpkins, gun dogs, taxi’s, and plants….You’ll do fine!

Oh almost forgot…Pasture Poodles and kittys…how could I forget?

I won't remember all that, but I will do my best.
