It's chatting time!It's getting cold! Is there anyone out there who has not turned on the fire or the heater, yet? That reminds me, need to buy some hot water bottles.
I hope no one's following Oswald Bastable's suggestion to Ban Fire!
Where is everyone, have I really "spooked the atheists"? (Thanks Rick, I like that).
PS. Apologies to anyone that has been unintentionally left off our blogroll. We are still building it (I added a few more this afternoon for the first time after giving up with my notepad list), so if you are missing, and want to be on our blogroll, leave a comment here or email me at Lucyna dot NZ at Gmail dot com.
Ban banings!
ReplyDeleteTo hell with the godless atheists!
LOL, Murray!
ReplyDeleteHow are you and your cats tonight? My cats have been enjoying sleeping by the fire, now that it's cold.
Mine have both decided they approve of fire.
ReplyDeleteJust not of the other one trying to get a share of it.
We have a couch by our fire, and all three of them have their spots on it. Woe betide the one that takes another's spot!
ReplyDeleteI'm also getting a steady stream of dead rodents left on the garden path (nearly stepped on one last night). Mostly mice, but have had a few small rats.
Mine eats her kills. The other is too old to hunt.
ReplyDeleteSaves on jellymeat.
I wish mine would eat them. They just play them to death and then when they stop moving and they get tired of batting a dead mouse about, they bring them to me. *Sigh*.
ReplyDeleteAnd, one of the cats will eat those large moths when they fly into the house. But, she won't eat the mice. Maybe moths taste better?
evening, Lucyna. Thanks for the kind comment left at CR.
ReplyDeleteCicadas are a self delivering tasty crunchy treat!
ReplyDeleteSeriously the whole thing is gone in seconds.
Good evening, Keith! You're welcome. :)
ReplyDeleteAnd Murray, I've not noticed cicadas being eaten, but then, they don't fly in at night like the moths do.
Evening all;
ReplyDeleteCat talk tonite huh?
Well mine is known to her eat her kills.
Then vomit them up on the carpet.
Hi Andrei!
ReplyDeleteEeeww!
One of mine is scared of the kids (especially my 6yo), so hides either under my bed or under the next-door neighbour's house all day. Sometimes she is too scared to come in in the mornings to have breakfast, so won't come back until the evening when the kids have gone to bed. At this point she's really hungry, so if I don't feed her small amounts of food at a time, she will gobble up a whole bowl of food and then throw it all up again somewhere in the middle of the night.
I am looking forward the end of school holidays so that this cat will hang around at home during the day and so that I won't have to basically hand feed her!
Cat throw-up - not fun.
Some one please, change the subject!
Ok I'll change the subject
ReplyDeleteWhere are you going to buy your hotwater bootles Lucyna?
Grandma went down to the warehouse to get some the other day but they no longer stock them. Apparently they are dangerous and can burn people so they are no longer sold there.
No!
ReplyDeleteHow could the Warehouse do this???
I don't want electric blankets because of the fire-risk and electromagnetism being underneath our bodies during the night, so - the humble hot-water bottle is our choice. I've thrown away the old ones so they don't burst and burn us and now want new ones! Maybe Placemakers?
Damn, hot water can burn people. Who knew?
ReplyDeleteThank god we have the wharehouse to NANNY US.
Who do they think they are, the government?
Talking about scared athiests

*shudder*
So has total religious membership risen or fallen? I would take that as a fairly accurate measure of our collective intelligence (positively correlated, of course.. *troll*)

Don't use hot water bottles they suck.
ReplyDeleteThese puppies are the way to go.

Aiiieeeeee CHRISTIANS!!!
ReplyDeleteFlee comrades FLEEEEE!
Tell you what cameron I'll use whatever bed warming method I like and accept the consequences because I'm just not comfortable with a retail deciding whats good for me.
Hot water bottles to be found at Briscos.
ReplyDeleteI went to buy some camouflage trousers the other day but I
ReplyDeletecouldn’t find any.
Cameron, I've been using hot water bottles for years. I like hot water bottles. I do not like wheat bags. I don't even have a microwave. Give me a hot water bottle any day. Sheesh, next, I'll be having to use hot bricks ...
ReplyDeleteTwo peanuts walk into a bar
ReplyDeleteOne was a salted.
A jump-lead walks into a bar.
The barman says “I’ll serve you, but don’t start anything.”
A sandwich walks into a bar.
The barman says, “Sorry we don’t serve food in here.”
A dyslexic man walks into a bra.
...
I can keep doing this all night, or some-one could just comment...
A man walks into a bar with a slab of tarmac under his arm and says: “A beer please, and one for the road.”
ReplyDeleteI don't know, Andrei, those Evangelicals can be pretty scary. That one on TBR certainly is.
ReplyDeleteTwo cannibals are eating a clown.
ReplyDeleteOne says to the other: "Does this taste funny to you?"
Briscos it is, then. Though, I went in there the other day looking a cube lunchbox (same type as I had bought 6 months prior) and they didn't have any! Very annoying.
ReplyDeleteOh, for goodness sakes!
ReplyDeletePM's security 'increased because of Brethren'
A Brethren accosted the PM - he apparently got quite close and tried to stop her. Probably stepped in front of her and tried to talk to her - and that is being labelled as "accosted".
I remember reading a story of HC on the campaign trail. As soon as anyone came up to her saying something she didn't like, she'd walk away from them and not talk to them. She'd probably consider them trying to talk to her as "accosting".
Bloody peasants!
Theres a number plate that says that now.
ReplyDeleteFirst VA Tech joke out...here came to me via email.
ReplyDeleteKim, I can't look at it - I've been banned! I don't think I've even visited the blogsite recently.
ReplyDeleteMurray, where's the number plate?
ReplyDeleteWhaleoil.

I like that!
ReplyDeleteHey we had all better post comments before Labour's new laws declare them an election expense.
ReplyDeleteEvening everyone
ReplyDeleteGreetings from the central Coast
its still warm in Oz
Mid 20s celsius, just nice and the sea is still warm
Had a lovely swim at byron bay on Tuesday but as I driove south i developed a cold
I think I will be needing thermals for when i get to NZ in a week or so.
I used to get my hotties from briscoes.
I had quite a few when I was down there
And I had one from the warehouse, i think, in the shape of a devil!
Evening folks. Might toddle off to bed now.
ReplyDeleteLatest I heard, Labour were going to pay themselves $1 for every word Millsy writes, and $2 if the sentence promises blood on the streets in the event of a tax cut.
That's a cool $15 million right there.
I'm trying to hold out on the fire and heaters until the end of April.
ReplyDeleteOn the Great Hot Water Bottle Hunt (and Debate) I'm pretty sure most chemists still stock them. Maybe the Warehouse got burnt (boom boom) because someone got hurt from one they sold and complained? I am with you on the hot water bottle vs wheat bag divide lucyna - I've been using a wheat bag recently and it's no where near as good in bed. But it is better to put around your neck and shoulders when they are sore.
Blogrolling would be nice, but I'm not sure I'm what you are looking for...
Hi Lucyna
ReplyDeleteHope you don't mind me joining your hot water bottle debate. I'm a great fan of the humble hot water bottle which, fortunately, is always in plentiful supply here in England. Like you, I dislike electric blankets and wheat-bags, but in one way we are very different. You say you have thrown away your old bottles. I could never do that. I would need to have replacements first before taking such drastic action! You see, I have poor ciculation and very cold feet and need to have my hottie. It's my best friend (apart from my hubby!).Good luck - hope you find some new bottles soon, but don't be quite so hasty in throwing them away!
Jill
