YES!!! The "I'm so happy" thread. 2009

Please don't say any more - I've often had my suspicions about what people do during the long nights of the northern winter - now I know, they find new uses for old tea bags. 

You can hardly accuse Diane of being in the north 

[Lesley Cox]

Well I'm glad that's cleared up. What you DON'T want to do, is leave one in a saucer on a low table, where a new puppy can get it. I wonder if fine dried tea would combat dust mites in the carpet?

A few items dragged from the net. To the lady members of the forum I do not necessarily agree with some of the sentiments.  Tee-hee !!

I'm sure it will Lesley, either that or it will give the carpet a new and interesting patern 


TC are you trying to get Maggi to beat up on you

A girlfriend sent this today.........

Older Women Are So Reasonable

AFTER BEING MARRIED FOR 44 YEARS, I TOOK A CAREFUL LOOK AT
MY WIFE ONE DAY AND SAID, '44 YEARS AGO WE HAD A CHEAP
APARTMENT, A CHEAP CAR, SLEPT ON A SOFA BED AND WATCHED A
10-INCH BLACK AND WHITE TV, BUT I GOT TO SLEEP EVERY NIGHT
WITH A HOT 21-YEAR-OLD GIRL".


NOW I HAVE A £1,500,000.00 HOME, A £45,000.00 CAR, NICE BIG
BED AND PLASMA SCREEN TV, BUT I'M SLEEPING WITH A
65-YEAR-OLD WOMAN. IT SEEMS TO ME THAT YOU'RE NOT HOLDING UP
YOUR SIDE OF THINGS.'


MY WIFE IS A VERY REASONABLE WOMAN.



SHE TOLD ME TO GO OUT AND FIND A HOT 21-YEAR-OLD GIRL AND
SHE WOULD MAKE SURE THAT I WOULD ONCE AGAIN BE LIVING IN A
CHEAP APARTMENT, DRIVING A CHEAP CAR, SLEEPING ON A SOFA BED
AND WATCHING A 10-INCH BLACK AND WHITE TV.


AREN'T OLDER WOMEN GREAT? THEY REALLY KNOW HOW TO SOLVE YOUR
MID-LIFE CRISES.

Yes, we've finally had a decent rainfall!
According to the weather bureau website over 1/2 an inch (well, 16mm) has fallen this morning!
I'll actually have to empty to gauge when I get home!
cheers
fermi

[Lesley Cox]

Well done Fermi. I hope you have lots more soon. It's winter here yesterday and today. Snow on the hills (and at Susan's place) and bitter sou'westers, gusting to 130kms per hour. Two gum trees down.

[Anthony Darby]

Don't Australians traditionally celebrate the coming of the rain with a beer? I remember a Fosters™ ad showing drinkers in a London pub on a wet day suggesting that?

[David Nicholson]

If that happened in Devon Alcoholics Anonymous would be in big business.

"It's winter here yesterday and today. Snow on the hills (and at Susan's place) and bitter sou'westers, gusting to 130kms per hour."

Ye Gads!! You must be joking! Here we're still sitting at a barmy 30'C with a humid breeze coming off the Mocambique channel - snow at this time of the year (or at any time of the year, come to think of it...) would be unthinkable!

[vivienr]

Maggi, you are wicked!

I normally visit the forum by reading all the 'latest postings' which do not show attached pics, so you can imagine the image I had in my head before I opened the message properly 

[Maggi Young]

Hope I didn't give you too much of a fright, Vivien! 

[vivienr]

Hope I didn't give you too much of a fright, Vivien! 

I did wonder why you were putting it in the "I'm so happy" thread so I should have followed the clue!!

I am happy and excited because I am being allowed a day out in Blackpool on Saturday
(and I might even get to the East Lancs show the week after as hubby will be traipsing over the Cairngorms)
so I will see some of these plants in the flesh 

[Maggi Young]

Oh, lucky you! I would love to be able to get to more English shows!

Bit early in the year for your fella to be out in the Cairngorms, isn't it? Still plenty nasty tricks to be played by our weather , I reckon 

You'll be in  mental training for the East Lancs affair, I expect.... takes a strong nerve to cope with that bunch!!
