Some of my favourite insults


I’d challenge you to a battle of wits, but I see you are unarmed.

I saw a loaf of bread with your name on it but then I realised it said "thick cut"

I see you’re playing stupid again. And you’re winning.

How about you slip into something a little more comfortable…like a coma?

I will never forgot about the first time we met, but I’ll keep trying.

Well, thanks for dinner. I had a perfectly wonderful evening, but this wasn’t it.

There is a tree that is tirelessly producing oxygen so that you can breathe. You owe that tree a big apology.

I could eat a bowl of fucking alphabet soup and subsequently shit out a smarter statement than that.

Don’t be ashamed of who you are. That’s your parent’s job.

You must be an experiment in Artificial Stupidity.

I’m not insulting you, I’m describing you.

I’d love to help you out. Which way did you come in?

Oh, I’m sorry. Did the middle of my sentence interrupt the beginning of yours?

You are the reason some animals eat their young.
I've actually used the first one! I think I said, "I refuse to engage in a battle of wits with one who is unarmed." 🤭😅
 
I caught up early in the day while I was waiting on hold with SSA to make an appointment. Nearly FIVE hours on hold and I still didn't get to talk to anyone. 😖😤 I hung up a bit after 7 since the website said agents were available until then. I would have had better luck if I had taken myself down to the office and waited in line to get in. 🤬 I did get some things done in my office I needed to do. And shopped.

I did not get my grass mowed which I wanted to do so that is first on the agenda for this weekend. I hope I get it done before it rains.

I'll also be picking up the honeymooners sometime but I don't know when yet.

It's the weekend now! I hope it's a good one for all! These are starting to pop up! Calla lilies, my favorite flower! 💖✨💞

So I made something yummy

Seared 4 skinless chicken things in a bit of olive oil
Put in a box of chicken stock and cooked til tender....
When it was done I took the chicken out and turned up the heat to reduce the broth a bit.
After reduced I added in a whole wheel of laughing cow garlic and herb cheese and you have to whisk hard on high heat to melt.

In a separate pan I sautéed some creme mushrooms and set aside and then did the same with a package of fresh spinach and onions....

After it was all cooked I put the chicken spinach onions and mushrooms back in the sauce. I had some more stock so I whined it out a bit and put a splash of cream in.....SO GOOD.

served with Cali blend veggies but would be yummy over rice or mashed potatoes.

If I could change things I would not put any salt on chicken at initial cook. With the cheese and reducing broth it got a little salty....
Sounds delicious. I bet it was.
 
The past six or seven weeks on the job have been solid meetings in preparation for two large projects that are hitting at the same time.

Today I worked from home and blocked my calendar. I got so much shit done
W NO MEETINGS and NO DISTRACTIONS!

Plus, a person who is out on sick leave finally came back who is going to make a critical presentation for my team, and it was good to get that date set. And also glad they are healthy, recovering and back to work.

Had some good news on a new product that I have been responsible for almost a year now. It got through two major committees at work and my boss is presenting it for the final approval next week.

And I got the back lawn mowed tonight after dinner. As @likes2watchU says: put that in the win column.
Sometimes it is good to sit back and count your blessings!
 
Good morning diners. I see familiar faces (avatars?). I will post a few wildflower pictures as soon as I can resize them. We had a wonderful walk yesterday on our friends acreage.

Today is a breakfast and lunch with friends. I plan to take pics of a quaint village as well.

A beautiful spring day is forecast as well.
 
doubtful
more likely "time balancing"
regardless, I won't find out until sometime next week - once my manager figures out how to handle it. :rolleyes:
So much for using the time productively - say for an oil change. My mechanic is routinely booked a min. of 10 days out.
Hoping the install went well last night. Fingers crossed. 🤞🤞🤞
 
He does sleep most of the day. He was good last night. I heard him once grumble that I had made his sleeping blanket which is too neat for him. He had to adjust it which made him grumble. 🤣
😂

Mine comes over a paws me to let me know there is a wrinkle in her's. I have to straighten it out. But sometimes she wants me to cover her up because she's chilly. She's found little ways to tell me which she wants. Since she's old, I let her get away with it.
