Egrets, I've had a few...(musings and some pics)

Fear followed by relief:

Fear: Getting a card from the mother in law wishing you a happy wedding anniversary and you don't know today's date.

Relief: Checking today's date and seeing there's still a few days to go.

Update: It's 5.17pm and I was the first one to remember the wedding anniversary.
lol, we suck!

Speaking of irony, it's amazing when one reads "I don't see how quoting anything helps," then they go on to use quotes to try to prove their pov.

Due to the Quarantine, I'll only be telling inside jokes!

 

[Chip and Chase]

Mornin' Champs and Champettes!

Welcome to Monday.

I hope your knees hurt less than mine! lol

My knees hurt just looking at that. Can't express my level of jealousy though. I'd love to be snowboarding right now.

Me as well! All the damn mountains are closed. So unfair to see them every day unused. I guess I could walk up but ... nah.

Also (as you know) photos and video always seem to flatten the terrain out. Everything looks almost a green run (hence why I tried to get a side on pic).

If you bump into the young'uns who think it's "kewl" to spell certain words incorrectly, you can tell them that the origins of the word 'OK' has a similar story, but from way back in the 1800's.

OK....

Mid 19th century (originally US): probably an abbreviation of orl korrect, humorous form of all correct, from English.

Popularized as a slogan during President Van Buren's re-election campaign of 1840 in the US; his nickname Old Kinderhook (derived from his birthplace) provided the initials.

So take that @ellakasmar , @Bring back the.... Biff? and you other kids! lol

Famous for the expression OK boomer!
(And also a gunfight at some corral during which Kirk Douglas coughed a lot)

You and yer Seinfeld!

Also jokes on me if you're not a young'un, then my above post doesn't make sense tagging you in on it.

He's getting a decent sized fan club because his signing is so expressive...and kinda hilarious.

You know you gotta re-think those life choices when you go into a pizza place to pick up a few pizzas and the owner comes out-takes one look at you- and hands you a voucher for a free salad!

Though the real tragedy is when you send that joke to your friends and they all think it's real. 🙁

I've often thought about how cool it would be to go back in time and wow everyone with my futuristic knowledge but....the reality is it'd be like:

Me: "Stop using copper people...use bronze!"

The mob: Ok! How do you make bronze?

Me: I dunno.

The mob: Aluminium?

Me: Same, sorry.

The mob: High tensile steel?

Me: Errrrrr.

The mob: Stone him!

Me: Fair enough.

It's amazing what you get used to.

For the first time in a billion years petrol here is under a dollar a litre.

I called into one local and the price was 99.9c and I thought "Aww man, 3 klms down the road it's only 96.9!" - as if the dollar price was a ripoff!
