Good Morning Boomers

Hi Kaki's Sister I could be better - the heat & stress from Mum plus the cost of living now in Australia has only made my Rash worse mind you the doctors tell me don't scratch, yeah right easier said than done..at least we've got a few days of some cold weather has given me some minor relief but after that were back in warmer weather..OH BOY!

Kaki Enjoy your haircut and have a lovely day take care

Connie goodluck with your doctor appointment and enjoy your day too.

Happy Gaming Boomers

Sorry got problems on my tablet and i acidently posted twice so i just edited this post...

Drac, really sorry to hear about Pita: as you say, it is very much part of the experience of having animals as part of the family. We have been down that road quite a few times over the years and it is always hard!

Greetings to everyone else: I hope the weekend looms with promise of good things.

Good Morning everyone.

Draclvr It breaks my heart to hear you had to let Pita go...it is the hardest decision to make for our beloved fury family members. You gave Pita a happy and safe home for her whole life...a kitty couldn't ask for anything more. I hope you take comfort in knowing you made it possible for Pita to have a long and happy life feeling the love coming from your heart.

Good Morning, Danish, Donuts and Bagels in the Break Room. Drac, I'm so sorry for you losing Pita, Big Hugs.

It's very windy here. I took a drive down to Courtenay and the highway was so windy I could feel my car being pushed around.

Oh Drac, I am so sorry to hear of your loss of Pita...

Thank you, soot. I know it will get better, but this was another hard day.

Good Morning everyone. Coffee, tea and hot chocolate await.

Draclvr I hope you can find some comfort in knowing you gave Pita a long and happy life with you. I can relate to how difficult it was to make the decision to end her suffering when you loved Pita so much...she was a special part of your life for all those years.

Good morning, Danish, Donuts and Bagels in the Break Room. Oh Yes Lex! Shopping is on the agenda today. Working the kitchen for our Eagle's dinner tonight, Trivia to follow.

I woke up to a ferocious storm! I guess I won't be walking today.

Thanks for the laugh this morning, Lex! As one of those old people, I can relate!

Hagatha I guess all that wind was blowing something in!

Good morning everyone. Dark roast coffee is a must for me Gerry and one of Connie's bagels ...! have fun tonight. Most excellent Lex ... put a smile on my face! I agree Drac...I can relate too! Stay safe Hagatha and indoors. Have a wonderful Saturday everyone.

Hello and Happy Weekend to you all!

Good morning all!

Awful news about the earthquake in Syria and Turkey: my heart goes out to those affected and I hope that none of you had close friends or relatives among the victims.

On a much lighter note, here's another snippet to hopefully make you smile and help your week off to a good start:

THESE ARE ENTRIES TO A WASHINGTON POST COMPETITION
ASKING FOR A TWO-LINE RHYME
WITH THE MOST ROMANTIC FIRST LINE,
AND THE LEAST ROMANTIC SECOND LINE:


1. My darling, my lover, my beautiful wife:
Marrying you has screwed up my life.

2. I see your face when I am dreaming.
That's why I always wake up screaming.

3. Kind, intelligent, loving and hot;
This describes everything you are not.

4. Love may be beautiful, love may be bliss,
But I only slept with you 'cause I was pissed.

5. I thought that I could love no other
-- that is until I met your brother.

6. Roses are red, violets are blue, sugar is sweet, and so are you.
But the roses are wilting, the violets are dead, the sugar bowl's
empty and so is your head.

7. I want to feel your sweet embrace;
But don't take that paper bag off your face.

8. I love your smile, your face, and your eyes
[blip], I'm good at telling lies!

9. My love, you take my breath away.
What have you stepped in to smell this way?


WHO SAID POETRY IS BORING??

Good morning, Danish, Donuts and Bagels in the Break Room. Meeting at the Eagles tonight. Lex, you started my day off with a smile.
