It is a lot of hard work and not very good for the environment so this will probably be the last year I heat with wood. I am going to go with electricity so I started buying energy efficient space heaters. Electricity is pretty cheap in BC plus in BC it is all produced from renewable resources. Heating with wood has helped keep me in good shape so I will have to find some kind of exercise. Cheers and happy weekend! less

But I taught him how to do the What's Up head nod and how to look cool while doing it. Before I taught him the trick he spent most of his day looking out the window and resting his chin on the window sill. So I started giving him a what's up head nod ever time I went out on the deck and after 6 months or so he started giving me one back. But it wasn't a very cool looking what's up head nod so I spent another year teaching him how to do the what's up head nod in a cool looking way. I bet I could also teach a 120 year old person how to look cool while doing a what's up head nod. Cheers! less

And 37 years of not wanting to know my sons because (in her mind) their mother was a whore (pardon my French) my evil half sister from Windsor wants to do a kiss and make up sort of thing. So I am torn between doing the harsh thing when she calls or doing the gangster thing when she calls. The harsh way would be to give her a piece of my mind and then telling her to F off. The gangster way would be to tell her that if she ever bothers me again or she try's to get a hold of me by bothering my sons she will be sleeping with the mud puppies in the Detroit river. Then I would remind her that I still have some pretty long arms and that I was always Grandma's favorite. Cheers! less

A few weeks ago I got a PM from someone claiming to be a 45 year old female. The first message was - Hi how are you? So I replied - I'm fine. The second message was - Good do you like to be tickled? So I replied - I'm not sure because I am from Nigeria royalty and Nigerian royalty aren't ticklish - it is kind of like home English royalty don't sweat. The next message was - you don't look Nigerian. So I said - Well that's because I'm not wearing my Agbada robe or wearing my Nigerian headband. I goof around like that until they figure the catfish aren't biting. Cheers and happy weekend! less

Then the class bully walked into the washroom and asked me why I was being a big baby and crying. I explained what was going on and he said - eeeeey you have to pull the zipper down then he left. The next day he started talking to me and we eventually became friends. Cheers!

He was convicted and jailed in India from 1976 to 1997. After his release, he retired, promoting his infamy in Paris. Sobhraj returned to Nepal in 2003, where he was arrested and tried and received a life sentence. On 21 December 2022, the Supreme Court of Nepal ordered his release from prison because of his old age, after he had served 19 of the 20 year sentence. On 23 December, he was released and deported to France. less
