Because deep own we are all small minded? Lol!

 

My toy parrot swears - a brother won him at a fair and the man said he had to disable the speech due to complaints, another brother enabled them, and the parrot is rather rude!

 

What made me smile is my (new to me ) Dell laptop arriving well before 10am, just getting everything loaded onto the nice clear desktop - I promise I won't drop it or clutter up the desktop unnecessarily!

 

My old Samsung had a broken screen, keyboard and graphics card.... so it was cheaper to get this Dell than repair the Samsung. Brother who got parrot to talk is coming this weekend to get my data off the old hard drive. Some I won't need but quite a bit I will.

 

I also had an MRI scan on my dodgy neck/hand problems and going back on 13th (not a Friday...) for the results.

Hi Sillygirl,

 

The parrot swearing is funny. I will admit that I told Apple Siri to F off to see what happens, and it asked if it had done something wrong!

 

Hoe your results are okay on the 13th.

Now trying to get my old laptop to 'talk' to my new laptop via the network! Got a Dell with a fancy lid for £160 from a refurb site, along with a brand new battery! I didn't need an 'all singing all dancing' laptop as I now nearly always download via my Kindle Fire (very fast) and this laptop has everything else I need. Got a very nice sound too when I play my talking books (usually have them on when housecleaning). Connected up to the home network first time and even got to print on my stroppy printer first time!

 

I even have HDMI on the laptop which I didn't have on the old one.

A clip on youtube entitled "Worst ever attempt at parallel parking". Well worth a watch.

Before you criticise another man you should first walk a mile in his shoes. Then, when you criticise him, you'll be a mile away and he won't have any shoes on.

 

Don't get me confused with somebody knowledgeable by all those green blobs. I got most of them by making people laugh.

Selling some blinds! I bought Timberlux blinds for all over my house, and they sent me two extra of my living room size, because they're bespoke they wouldn't accept them back as they said they'd have difficulty selling them, so they told me to "dispose of them"! Huh? They were £240 each, although I never paid for the spares! Anyway, I sold them! Someone got a bargain, and I got some money to buy some more fruit trees for my garden lol! Happy days!

@duckwaddler: nice! APple pies for all then! :D lol

 

At the moment it's gonna be sweet cheery and I've just ordered a Victoria plum, apparently you get roughly 100lbs of fruit per year, so I'm gonna be going mad with the plum jam and chinese plum sauce :lol:

 

What made me smile today was sitting in our kitchen having lunch with the door open, and one of the blackbirds that's nesting in our Lalandrii spying on us :lol: He was hilarious, and he kept shooting up to next doors roof, then dropping back down into the trees like a parachuter!

 

They're delighted because we had them all chopped and shaped back, it must feel like they've had a home makeover :-)

 

P.S. I will try get a short video of him next time and post it up!

An airline that cancelled my flight are giving me the thick end of £200 compensation, and I'm giving it to charity in lieu of the money they lost because I couldn't run the book stall for them the next day!

they're cheeky little buggers lol it was probably waiting for the chance to swoop in and nick some of your sandwhich LOL!

 

Yes they are, and you're probably right! Although I'm still missing our old friend, the one who used to mimic the neighbours car alarm :-( He was super cheeky, and was visiting us for years!

Oh bless you CE!!! You restore my faith that there are still some good human beings left in this world!

I'm sure it would make a few of us smile if we could help here:

I think this is a great idea.

DD, thank you so much for posting this up! I am going to donate my old phone! I wonder if they would help my Godson too, he has leukemia, and misses out on a lot such as nursery because he's neutropenic a lot of the time, so has to be kept isolated in case he catches an infection!

He's doing okay Nystagmite, thank you for asking! It's just he misses out on a lot of nursery because of his immune system getting so low, he becomes neutropenic, which is even harder because he's a twin, and she can quite happily go off to nursery!

 

He's been on the treatment now for 18mths, and hasn't had one single infection in his hickman line, or his "wiggly" as he calls it :lol: I don't know how my friend does it, she has five other children and is on her own - their Dad walked out on her just before he was diagnosed, he'd come into some money, so wanted to live the single life! And she's had no support from him whatsoever!

 

And yes DD, I will definitely mention it to them!! I hope this little fella gets his IPad!

Your poor friend. I hope she is getting some money from him even if he's not giving her emotional support.

 

Even if he has walked out he should still be supporting his children with the money he's come into. What a b*****.

 

She's not had a penny from him! And he got rather a large sum of money, we're talking tens of thousands - he's bought a house with his Mum, but doesn't have his name on the deeds, because he's claiming benefits, also he works on the side at the family business!

 

The CSA ordered him to pay £5 per week between three (her eldest three are to her first Husband) because he's on benefits, and he doesn't even give her that! But you know how slow the CSA are for putting other means of getting it paid in motion!

 

They're beautiful children too, he won't realise what he's missed out on till it's too late!

My step dad , who I care for makes me smile everyday. He has Alzheimer's but he just makes me smile with the things he says. Hes just such a character and is a funny man.Not in a comedian tell jokes way but in his mannerisms and witty (cheeky) remarks, His remark this morning was :

 

Pops ( thats what I call him ) would you like a drink ?

 

His reply was . Yes please large port and brandy !

 

I said... Its 9 o'clock in the morning mate lol

 

He said ..... yeah, but its my day off ! Hes 85 and been retired for many years :razz:

Reading a post by someone who really cares

 

sean_seany, that's fantastic that you look after your step dad.

 

Port and Brandy is great and has medicinal purposes too, so I don't see a problem having it for breakfast! :-)
