I swear the skeeter truck just pushes the bugs to the back yard. We run for cover here too.  It's been hot and steamy outside here too. I'm happy my friends dropped off their old pump for my pool

Properly annotated p-Math is too wordy when accurate if you need large numbers. Sorry.

Many Many Moons ago I shared many many important off topic things with you. that was until life got in the way and this forum had to suffer and be without me. 

 

Aaaaaaaaanyway…the Queen of Austria is back. Lots of things happened…but where to start?! 

Most importantly…The husband and the queen are still married and barely ever want to rip each other‘s heads off, we made it through COVID and are FINALLY going on vacation on wednesday. 

 

What did I miss, catch me up.

 

Yay happy all is good.

Upvote all of our posts each day until your inventory is exhausted and you're caught up on this mandatory chore, si QA ma'am.

You missed upvoting all of our posts each day until your inventory is exhausted and you're caught up on this mandatory chore, si QA ma'am.

Oh, and practice your P-math to regain proficiency, be sure QA ma'am.

Oh, and Mrs. T-B. is now Ex-Mrs.-T.B., go back and research QA ma'am.

Absent but not forgotten, I assume!!!

 

The marriage…well some people might say it’s real…;)

 

I will work on my bad math and catch up on upvoting while on vaction BUT since I will be busy with that, I don’t think I’ll be able to research about that!!! 

I’m so sorry T-B.! Hope the situation is getting better! Many hugs to you and also mini B!

Many of you know I am a dentist.  Some of you know my daughter is a pediatric dentist.  

I was discussing with her the other day my love (NOT) for treating children in my office.

 

Today she sent me this text:

"My sedation patient this morning was a terrible violent mean 5 year old.  Spit on me, told me he would kick me in the face and that he hated me and and I was dumb.  YOU really hate working on kids?!?!🤣"

 

 

 

 

If at first you don't succeed, then sky diving is not for you.

Someone stole my dictionary. Now I am at a loss for words.

If Apple made a car, would it have windows?

Ban shredded cheese. Make America Grate Again .

Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day.  Deport him and you never have to feed him again.

I started out with nothing, and I still have most of it.

I went bald but I kept my comb.  I just couldn't part with it.

My name is not Richard Edward but my friends still call me DickEd

If your pet has a bladder infection, urine trouble.

"Watch out where the huskies go, and don't you eat that yellow snow."

I fired myself from cleaning the house. I didn't like my attitude and I got caught drinking on the job.

My kid has A.D.D... and a couple of F's

Carrots improve your vision.  Alcohol doubles it.

A dung beetle walks into a bar and asks " Is this stool taken?"

Breaking news.  They're not making yardsticks any longer.

Hemorrhoids?  Shouldn't they be called Assteroids?

If life gives you melons, you might be dyslexic.

If you suck at playing the trumpet, that may be why.

Dogs can't take MRI's but Cat scan.

We expected to have computer access on our excursion, but that prospect got hosed, sigh man.

 

We called Mini-B.  Ex-Mrs.-T-B. had him on speaker.  We asked her if she had converted the entryway coat closet into her kitchen cupboard yet.  She said, "Si; everything is fine."  Mini-B. then exclaimed, "it's NOT fine. Send help and send closets, si man!" :P
