Face book funny on a weird day...

..THIS IS AN ACTUAL CUSTOMER REVIEW FROM A MAN ON AMAZON.CO.UK AFTER USING VEET HAIR REMOVAL CREAM FOR MEN.


After having been told my danglies looked like an elderly Rastafarian I decided to take the plunge and buy some of this as previous shaving ...attempts had only been mildly successful and I nearly put my back out trying to reach the more difficult bits. Being a bit of a romantic I thought I would do the deed on the missus's birthday as a bit if a treat.

I ordered it well in advance and working in the North Sea I considered myself a bit above some of the characters writing the previous reviews and wrote them off as soft office types...Oh my fellow sufferers how wrong I was. I waited until the other half was tucked up in bed and after giving some vague hints about a special surprise I went down to the bathroom. Initially all went well and I applied the gel and stood waiting for something to happen. I didn’t have long to wait.

At first there was a gentle warmth which in a matter of seconds was replaced by an intense burning and a feeling I can only describe as like being given a barbed wire wedgie by two people intent on hitting the ceiling with my head. Religion hadn't featured much in my life until that night but I suddenly became willing to convert to any religion to stop the violent burning around the turd tunnel and what seemed like the the destruction of the meat and two veg. Struggling not to bite through my bottom lip I tried to wash the gel off in the sink and only succeeded in blocking the plughole with a mat of hair. Through the haze of tears I struggled out of the bathroom across the hall into the kitchen, by this time walking was not really possible and I crawled the final yard to the fridge in the hope of some form of cold relief. I yanked the freezer drawer out and found a tub of ice cream, toe the lid off and positioned it under me. The relief was fantastic but only temporary as it melted fairly quickly and the fiery stabbing returned. Due to the shape of the ice cream tub I hadn’t managed to give the starfish any treatment and I groped around in the draw for something else as I was sure my vision was going to fail fairly soon. I grabbed a bag of what I later found out was frozen sprouts and tore it open trying to be quiet as I did so. I took a handful of them and an tried in vain to clench some between the cheeks of my arse. This was not doing the trick as some of the gel had found its way up the chutney channel and it felt like the space shuttle was running its engines behind me.

This was probably and hopefully the only time in my life I was going to wish there was a gay snowman in the kitchen which should give you some idea of the depths I was willing to sink to in order to ease the pain. The only solution my pain crazed mind could come up with was to gently ease one of the sprouts where no veg had gone before.

Unfortunately, alerted by the strange grunts coming from the kitchen the other half chose that moment to come and investigate and was greeted by the sight of me, arse in the air, strawberry ice cream dripping from my bell end pushing a sprout up my arse while muttering “ooooohhh that feels good” Understandably this was a shock to her and she let out a scream and as I hadn’t heard her come in it caused an involuntary spasm of shock in myself which resulted in the sprout being ejected at quite some speed in her direction. I can understand that having a sprout fired against your leg at 11 at night in the kitchen probably wasn’t the special surprise she was expecting and having to explain to the kids the next day what the strange hollow in the ice cream was didn’t improve my status…so to sum it up, VEET removes hair, dignity and self-respect ~   friday funny for you  :0 !

Thankful

could be that fall is in the air could be that the x went to jail for contempt of court today. hes trying to get his va benefits dropped so he doesn't have to pay alimony.   what ever. I am so thankful to have an attorney that is on top of it whether she is on top of notify-ing me doesn't seem to matter,  just so the job gets done. (and Lord, that he someday, some way, has to pay it to where ever ....just please stop punishing me with him....)
I am so much better, and still so sick ... will I ever regain my health where any of the last 10 years is concerned?  goals now are set need to be battled through the list next week. freedom to move about my town as far as my legs will take me that is !! LOL! you do not know the naughty thoughts that went through my mind today with that truck sitting on the street.... I gave Zane back the truck key right before I left in June. would like to just say done. but have come this far for a reason and what is 10 more weeks, let him sit his ass in jail ! lol ! its freedom for me !
wonderful evening for a glass of wine while the sunsets even if I am only watching it with 2 dogs and 2 cats, I prefer them to most people these days.

Funny from Mom

When grandma goes to court...

Lawyers should never ask a Mississippi Grandma a question if they arent't prepared for the answer.

In a trial, a southern small-town prosecuting attorney called his first witness, a grandmotherly, elderly woman to the stand. He approached her and asked, "Mrs Jones, do you know me?"  She responded,  "why Yes, I do know you, Mr. Williams. I've known you since you were a boy, and frankly, you've been a big disappointment to me. You lie, you cheat on your wife, and you manipulate people and talk about them behind their backs. You think you're a big shot when you haven't the brains to realize you'll never amount to anything more than a two-bit paper pusher. Yes, I know you."

the lawyer was stunned. Not knowing what else to do he pointed across the courtroom and asked, "Mrs Jones, do you know the defense attorney?"

She again replied "Why, yes I do. I've known Mr Bradley since he was a youngster too. He's lazy, bigoted, and he has a drinking problem. He can't build a normal relationship with anyone, and his law practice is one of the worst in the entire state. Not to mention he cheated on his wife with 3 different women, one of them was your wife. Yes I know him."

The defense attorney nearly died.

the Judge asked both counselors to approach the bench and in a very quiet voice said,

"If either of you Idiots asks her if she knows me, I'll send you both to the electric chair."


needed a laugh. and that its about a court room gives it an extra hahahaha....

Lake Angeles 9/2/12

 tourist traffic going into the park. our turn is just before the gate, with no turn lane we wait patiently ...
 Trail head at last :)  full of cars... gonna be a touristy kind of day but I am so excited to be going back to Lake Angeles.......
weapons now allowed..... but no money to change the signs :)
 ahhh yes I remember this calm place, with steep path that kicked my pre-accident arse....
 moist enough here for stumps to heal themselves and continue to use their roots to nourish other trees.
 
Washington Fall colors
 almost closed over....
 going up !
up....
 a fairy glen
 more fall color
 I had Z take these for me as he was caring the camera by this point...and they are not the shot I had in mind....the tree roots were 12 feet tall and just looked cool...

 love the way nature lets you see things in little pieces some times...
....as if  we are not able to take it all in at once..... or maybe to help me appreciate all the little parts coming together to make a fantastic whole.....

...whatever "It" is I am thankful for this day and all the blessings it has given me. and added bonus that I get to share it with you ! Enjoy !

 Zane & Nicole

Nicole had climbed Storm King the day before this, I told her I used to do Storm King as a warm Up  for Lake Angeles ! not usually in the same weekend however !

 Ennis Creek


beware the deer and goats that know what a zipper opening means. they are extremely dangerous, and totally unafraid of humans.

I am truly blessed. what a wonderful tired I am. a day well spent usually means a good nights sleep to come. here's hoping you enjoyed the hike as much as you could through my pictures. think you can go the miles? read about the elevation gain from 1957 ft to 4700 at lake level.....its a climb.... and coming down feels oh so good, untill tomorrow...... but I did it.29 days into my 50th year I climbed another mountain. Praise BE !
