My wife and I were having a disagreement about my beard. She wants it shaved off I don't.
So with any good marriage we compromised. View attachment 276278
When I was in college the friends of a boyfriend of mine did that to him when he was very drunk and comatose on his 21st birthday. he didn't know anything about it until he surfaced and looked in a mirror the next day. They hid all his razors and wouldn't let him remove it completely for a few days. That taught a lesson about getting too drunk - but didn't stop him.

One time I was at the doctor's office and he gave me the rubber glove treatment. I said to the doctor....... What a large ring you have.
He replied that's not my ring. It's my wristwatch.:eek:

Haha I remember my grampa’s urologist- he went to college on a football scholarship. He was an offensive lineman. His ring size was an 18 - no way in hell he was gonna be my urologist

Good evening friends.
Today I was in the mood to prepare a new song. Hopefully my friends in the UK know the origin singer and song. It was Jim Diamond. Unfortunately he died in 2015. I love this very much. He sang it in 1984. It was my disco time though this song is not a disco song, rather a sad ballad, but listen to me and listen to Jim Diamond.

Lovely Bee, thank you!

It’s the language aswell:confused:
You need to have a look at Macbeth or Hamlet - a good old tragedy!
Language aside, they are great stories, my class love Macbeth - with its ghost, witches, murder and madness etc. but we use an abridged modern version with just a few odd quotes from the original.

1984 is Big Brother. It is based on a future where everybody lives in apartments and they get watched 24/7. Everybody gets told what to eat, when to eat, when to get up, what exercises they have to do etc etc. Basically your life is not your own, it is the governments and they control everything.
A bit like a tortoise enclose with a camera in it :)!

It’s been a while since I’ve been on. Been busy with the move and getting the house and yard in order. Right now we are preparing for TS or Hurricane Barry. He is arriving here in just a few hours. We’ve enjoyed the wind today but nervous about the coming rain. Right now I’m sitting on the back porch listening to the frogs. They are predicting close to 20” of rain d. for our area. We’ve already boxed up the torts and put them in the house. I had a lot of picking up to do around the yard to make sure we don’t have anything dangerously flying around. I hope everyone in his path stays safe.
Hello!!! I'll be hoping and praying for you and your family and friends. I hope that lackadaisical windy storm decides to fisil out.
