" FOOTBALL IS ALL VERY WELL AS A GAME FOR ROUGH GIRLS,BUT IS HARDLY SUITABLE FOR DELICATE BOYS.
To jump start my elderly grey cells I do a word puzzle every morning while sitting on that throne in the bathroom.Every few pages there is a nice Cryptogram of various quotes.This one really made me smile.

Just to share this lovely,sunny warm day.Spent an hour pruning an elderly friends MONSTER of a vine in her greenhouse--hope for lots of grapes.Then,car loaded with cuttings,etc.etc,off to the dump.Love living in the country and doing my bit for recycling.Bulbs coming up everywhere and tiny grape hyacinth in bloom."My" sparrows loving the food tray and robins calling to each other.Hope your day is as good.

This morning checking my Ebay I receive this message.Complaint that I am selling an item in Dollars with Dollar postage.American glass.And he---definitely a he--is here and etc. Ends--"HOW FUCKING WEIRD " Well is he a weird fucker or fucks weirdly or just cannot speak without a fuck ???????

The HUGE problem of the Western world---obesity,of course.Give this some thought---how often do you eat when in fact you are NOT hungry ?? Can you honestly say that you don't buy that sweet,bun.crisps,etc to stop your child nagging or having a tantrum.What you are letting the child realise that this behaviour is always rewarded.How often have you heard a MOther say " My child won't eat veges " and that goes for other home cooked food---good idea is to think that you felt sorry for the child and let him/her have all the pizza,chips etc. because he will go hungry.Believe me,if the child is hungry, he WILL eat,just be patient.What a child learns at home,early,will be for good.Remember the saying--FAT BABY,FAT CHILD,FAT ADULT.You rarely see a child from a fat family that isn't fat.Harsh words,possibly,but the facts are wellknown---health problems are the future.Enough said and hope this is food for thought and not food for fat.

£ anecdotes on WASTE in Hospitals.I am sure there are many more !
1]Waiting in a short corridor to see Dr.--porter opens door,switches on light,leaves withour putting off light.
2]Waiting in Outpatients waiting room,go to the loo,flush--enough water rushing for about 3 minutes to have a shower.
3]In waiting room,secretary leaves,nurse enters and sits down as a patient and proceeds to empty the tissue box into her pocket.
AND there must be many more---the mind boggles as to the savings if lights in a storeroom went off automatically,over flushing of loos and dripping taps were checked.And as for the tissues what else was she stealing and taking home ??? Am I nitpicking ???

I have been buying and selling on Ebay for about 9yrs.I never stop being amazed and delighted--no tonque in cheek,please----at the amount of sellers that are semi-literate.Mainly spelling and grammar.What an opportunity to make some money rather than having to suffer the embarrassment of having to admit that reading and writing is not your forte.A case of have computor, can sell.And what an interest and hobby for the retired---ME Please do not misunderstand,I applaud.Any feedback--ha ha ?
