eld - great that she has a dog, that may not know outward bound route - but they know the way home. With that large hat and body but short, tiny legs, same with the dog, hope she has funds for a cab - but would the dog's homing instinct work? Hope she has a utility bill showing her address in the purse. ded - when was the last time someone "got your goat"? Around here that means getting someone upset, riled, rankled. Advisory: somewhat gross material ahead: proceed with caution, if at all! Jassy - Is it an arm-wrestle he's seeking - in the bathroom? Could be he's waving the wrong appendage? (writ by a guy whose system, having used a catheter for some years, had a Covid-delayed pipe installed a while ago and now is trying to tame his system that's demanding to pee, too frequently, and urgently). seagrass - let's see if we can find a way to get that message to my (especially) liquid waste elimination system - they seem to be rather stuck in a recently acquired rut! oly - try to find a way to advise that chef to tell his client that it'd be a good idea to get an old yogurt tub or similar to carry with him through the place in case of urgent need. In public - it depends. kat - having become rather majorly forgetful, and trying to fit an offspring recently become 60, and another about to become so, into his brain ... I can't remember how they were trained (about a generation and a half ago, actually). Maybe they weren't, at home, anyway, as neither has produced offspring. Rusty - having lived for 18+ years in the country about 6 mi. from a village and 12 or 15 from the city, a couple of years without a car or a driver's licence, and having done quite a lot of hitchhiking, I can't complain too strongly about having lost a lot of my ZING, it seems. Interestingly - over half of the people who offer me rides are female, very few of them young ones. More to this story - but I'd better make a thread to include it. Hope you've all had an interesting and mainly satisfying week - and good wishes to you and yours for the weekend - from ole joyfuelled

I just love starting my day with a laugh.

My mother taught me about those swirls MANY years ago. I wasn't sure they were still a thing because I never buy boxes of chocolates any more. It was a good way to avoid the strawberry creme and the coconut fillings for me.

@juneroses Z9a Cntrl Fl, you are doing a great job of keeping the threads going. Thank you.
