I have a very, very low tolerance for that sort of vulgarity.

 

I’d need to find a gallon of soap to wash his filthy mouth out. 😡😡😡

 

Yep, I agree, low tolerance.

After checking 7 smoke alarms, 2 CO detectors, and 2 personal alarms, we found out it was the wheelchair that was beeping to indicate dead batteries.

I didn’t even know it could do that and I’ve been fiddling with them for 14 years.

 

 

Reminds me of something funny from about 10 years ago. Emma was shopping in the town in her electric wheelchair and every time she went through store doorways their alarm would go off. I had raised up her wheelchair cushion by putting bought library books underneath and neglected to remove the security tags!

I can't stand okra and chittlings, though I never really ate them.

 

I mean, my stepmother used to cook okra, and I managed to swallow the stuff down to avoid that "look" from her.

And chittlings? Ain't no way I'm putting you-know-what in my mouth, no matter how many times it was cleaned. I just can't.

I hate some of the effects of gravity.

My shoulders and chest have settled around my waist, my butt is smaller and my ankles are bigger. I'd loosen my belt but I'm afraid my waist would end up in my thighs.

I plan to walk on my hands every day and see if everything goes back where it belongs

Exactly! ,

either there was too much description or I have an acute imagination, either way now I have to go through the rest of my day thinking about that!

Well, I was only kidding, because I don't think he really was describing himself. I took it that he was only (I hope) kidding too.. Maybe he'll let us know someday..

'Bleeping' parrot sparks Daventry emergency call-out

(Bleeping like a smoke alarm, not cursing.)

I guess he must burn toast frequently.

 

Ours would copy the beeps from the on-the-hour time signal that Radio 4 broadcast. We also had a brother come to install a new sliding door. By the afternoon Tufty was perfectly mimicking his electric drill.

We are right by some fields and (relatively) lots of trees. Tufty would make owl noises whenever we opened the back door at night.

One of my Bible studies had a huge parrot and she loved to listen to opera so this bird sang opera...😀

If we are in space, everything will be relieved of gravitational pressure and we might look pretty much like we did years ago. Maybe if we had a space station to visit for some quick spine lengthening, we could go in for occassional touch-ups.

Had another exposure to holler-day antics, yesterday. A man was rounding the corner of an aisle that had backscratchers on a clearance rack, and he knocked some of them off - followed by expletives by the shopping cart pusher, himself. Well, scratch my back and call me mosquito bitten.

I think my cat is from New England.

I think she's from Barfin, Whereyousits.

Or move to the tropics like us.... no daylight savings time here. We only remember about it when we ring someone down south, and we wake them.

We don't have it in Arizona either...

We don't have Daylight Saving here in Florida    at least, not now that fall is here    we have returned to Standard Time

Have you lost or choose not to reuse dosage cap/cup from cough or bismuth meds? One (empty) Keurig cup filled to about a 1/4 inch from top = 30 ml. (typical dose for those otcs)

All of my Kcups have a hole in them...

Meanwhile, in snooker news:

Ronnie O’Sullivan made a maximum 147 break at our local K2 sports centre.

He said the venue “smelled like urine”.

(I’m wondering if it was the adhesive for new flooring or something.)

A brother tried to teach me how to play snooker and three cushion billiards. It was a lot of fun...

I joined a snooker club and played on a full-size 12’ table for a while, but at 5’ 4” tall I needed the rest for just about every shot!

Yes, you hold a finger under the hole when pouring the new liquid. I find the original dose cup is hard to completely rinse clean of thick liquids like DayQuill or Peptobismal, but the k-cup is easy for wash out. 

[Qapla]

I have never had a problem cleaning the dose cup out that comes with NyQuil (or the generic equivalent) - but then, I use very hot water
