Thank God for the nosey buggers I say

Miss Beatrice,

the church organist,

was in her eighties

and had never been married.

She was admired for her sweetness

and kindness.

One afternoon, the pastor

came to call on her and she showed him into her quaint sitting room.

She invited him to have a seat while she prepared tea.

 

As he sat facing her old Hammond organ, the young minister noticed a cute glass bowl sitting on top of it.

The bowl was filled with water, and in the water floated, of all things, a condom!

 

When she returned with tea and scones, they began to chat.

 

The pastor tried to stifle his curiosity about the bowl of water and its strange floater, but soon it got the better of him and he could no longer resist.

 

'Miss Beatrice', he said, 'I wonder if you would tell me about this?' pointing to the bowl.

 

'Oh, yes,' she replied, 'Isn't it wonderful? I was walking through the park a few months ago and I found this little package on the ground.

 

The directions said to place it on the organ, keep it wet, and that it would prevent the spread of disease. Do you know I haven't had the flu all winter'.

You might want to take this with you when shopping.
It's worth printing this and cutting it out to have in your wallet or purse.
Let's stop the outsourcing of our jobs.
 
ALWAYS READ THE LABELS ON THE FOODS YOU BUY-- NO MATTER WHAT THE FRONT OF
THE BOX OR PACKAGE SAYS, TURN IT OVER AND READ THE BACK---CAREFULLY!
 
With all the food and pet products now coming from China , it is best to make sure you read label at the
grocery store and especially Tesco / Asda when buying food products.
 
Many products no longer show where they were made, only give where the distributor is located.
It is important to read the bar code to track its origin.
 
How to read Bar Codes .... Interesting!
This may be useful to know when grocery shopping, if it's a concern to you.
 
GREATWAY TO"BUY BRITISH"AND NOT FROMCHINA!!

The whole world is concerned about China-made "black hearted goods". Can you differentiate which one is made in Taiwan or  China ? If the first 3 digits of the barcode are 690691or 692,the product is MADE IN  CHINA.471is Made in Taiwan . This is our right to know, but the government and related departments never educate the public, therefore,
we have to RESCUE ourselves.Nowadays, Chinese businessmen know that consumers do not prefer products "MADE IN CHINA ", so
they don't show from which country it is made. 
However, you may now refer to the barcode - remember if the first 3 digits are:
690-692 ... Then it is MADE IN  CHINA
00 - 09 ...  USA       &  CANADA
30 - 37   FRANCE 
40 - 44  GERMANY
 49 ... JAPAN
BUY'BRITISH'by watching for "50" at the beginning of the number.

Just saying....

 


It was an email I got from my mate ,Ishould  have researched it before I posted .Kaffy is right and the email is misleading.

Both the dogs have been in for their annual boosters today, the boy got left behind to be sedated while he got his teeth done. We had to stay with him while the sedation took hold, mainly because he's a proper scrappy doo. 

 

I was so tearful watching him go under, I think I felt it was like he was being put to sleep for ever.  He lay in mr Cinds arms like a baby and the puked.

 

Then I went to pick him up and a massive sign on his cage saying "only let the owner let him out" the vet came in and was saying," I have never seen a dog behave so mental after an anaesthetic, they're normally so calm"

 

got him home and he has been asleep all night.

Aww Cinds, I don't have dogs but I do have children who have been put to sleep to get their teeth out and it's scary business.  I actually cried the first time when my eldest was put to sleep.  The doc told him to tell me he loved me and he conked out halfway through saying it.....like a scene in a movie when the kid dies  freaked me right out!!

 

Luckily they only keep kids knocked out for a few mins.

Ohhh I bet it did.  My boy was a tiny baby the few times he's had to have an anesthetic & that was bad enough, never mind him conking out half way through speaking to me.

MrH had a self employed statement this morning for wait for it ......

ÂĢ0.09p   something along the way I miscalculated and omitted I guess

 

a little message at the bottom made me laugh- as this is a small balance you might choose not to pay it  but remember there will be interest adding on to it 

 

We have had 3 years of grief with them and most of it was their fault - they can whistle for this
