Looks like o j doesn't add (or is that "subtract"?) very capably ... ... 'cause when ya start from 7 and ya count down 11, or 12, part of full days, ya arrive at 19 which will likely be a good enough day on its own, but doesn't get us to where we want to go. To get from 7 to 30 ... takes about 23 - so to deal with my big day - see ya in 23 days! ole (lousy mathematician) joyfuelled

Thank you Annie and all for the smiles daily. Here's Annie's yesterday's smile. It was posted to the wrong site. Just in case anyone else missed it like I did. https://www.gardenweb.com/discussions/6348478/smile-today-2-15-23#n=12

John was sitting outside his local pub one day, enjoying a quiet pint and generally feeling good about himself, when a nun suddenly appears at his table and starts decrying the evils of drink. "You should be ashamed of yourself young man! Drinking is a Sin! Alcohol is the blood of the devil!" Now John gets pretty annoyed about this, and goes on the offensive. "How do you know this, Sister?" "My Mother Superior told me so." "But have you ever had a drink yourself? How can you be sure that what you are saying is right?" "Don't be ridiculous--of course I have never taken alcohol myself" "Then let me buy you a drink - if you still believe afterwards that it is evil I will give up drink for life" "How could I, a Nun, sit outside this public house drinking?!" "I'll get the barman to put it in a teacup for you, then no one will ever know." The Nun reluctantly agrees, so John goes inside to the bar. "Another pint for me, and a triple vodka on the rocks", then he lowers his voice and says to the barman "and could you put the vodka in a teacup?" The barman looks him in the eye and replies ...... "Oh no! It's not that Nun again is it?" Rusty
