This is a good one!

 

You might not have known this, but a lot of non-living objects are actually either male or female.  Here are some examples:  

 

FREEZER BAGS: They are male, because they hold everything in, but you can see right through them.

PHOTOCOPIERS: These are female, because once turned off; it takes a while to warm them up again. They are an effective reproductive device if the right buttons are pushed, but can also wreak havoc if you push the wrong Buttons.

Tyres: Tyres are male, because they go bald easily and are often over inflated

HOT AIR BALLOONS: Also a male object, because to get them to go anywhere, you have to light a fire under their butt.

SPONGES: These are female, because they are soft, squeezable and retain water.

WEB PAGES:
Female, because they're constantly being looked at and frequently getting hit on.

TRAINS: Definitely male, because they always use the same old lines for picking up people.

EGG TIMERS: Egg timers are female because, over time, all the weight shifts to the bottom.

HAMMERS: Male, because in the last 5000 years, they've hardly changed at all, and are occasionally handy to have around.

THE REMOTE CONTROL: Female. Ha! You probably thought it would be male, but consider this: It easily gives a man pleasure, he'd be lost without it, and while he doesn't always know which buttons to push, he just keeps trying

Sad news for Sheila one of her best mates died in hospital I think from Flue this flue is a very aggressive one that has gone through the UK making a lot of people very ill I to have been ill a couple of times but as I have the injection against flue it helps me fight it and makes it into a bad cold if you like but I felt bad for a while on two separate Times in different weeks.

Sheila spent a day in bed to ill to get up and if you know Sheila you would be shocked as I have been with Sheila over forty years I cant even remember her being ill she may have had the odd sniffles or two but that was it ,this time she had a bad chest she was coughing sore throat you name it .I am glad to say she is now back to normal .She was lucky enough to have been fit so she could fight it off her friend had been ill on and off for years with a bad chest she would go into hospital every few months on oxygen for her  own good but this time sadly they couldn't make her strong enough to fight this flue.

When we got up this morning I found a note pushed through our letter box telling us more bad news a chap we call Paddy died  that day we new this chap as he lived two doors away he lived here with his wife and son when we moved here over thirty years ago so it wasn't just a neighbour to me I felt very sad as though it was someone close to me even though we didn't see each other that much these days .as he spends all his time in the house the only time I saw him really would be when the ambulance would come and pick him up to take him to his day centre for the aged I think he would have a chance to meat people and they could access him and help him with any problems he may have.

We call our national health here in the UK but when we sit down and think about it I think we are pretty lucky to have it,I mean if I had to pay for seeing a specialist for my health problems  it would cost me a few bob as it is I have a nurse correct my neck probs and my spine has a few probs she stretches my neck to allow trapped nerves to escape now and then this alone would cost me I had a small op on my elbow a few months ago for a trapped nerve this was done in a private hospital the cost of the national health not me so the cost of a policy to pay for that sort of thing would be costly I think.

I used to have a private policy for things like glasses dentist bills and skeleton things like the stretching of my neck but when I sat down and took account of what I had out of it in the twelve months it wasn't worth it even if I bought glasses and had teeth out I would still be paying for it so it was worth me just buying my own glasses and dentist myself as the dentist was a national health one it was much cheaper for me so it was the obvious decision for me .

I wonder if any of the spaces friends who live in the States or Australia  or in fact any country could tell me how your system works do you have a national health thing or do you rely on a private insurance policy or are you all so rich you can just pay as you go my sister lives in Canada and I know her husband used to come back home when he kneaded something doing he would say he was on holiday and get it done on the national health as he was still entitled to it being from the UK but they stopped that little loupe hole some years ago .

our daughters husband died in Spain while staying in our holiday flat some years ago and I still remember my daughter saying that until she could get hold of the insurance company who they travelled with they would put him in a clinic for their poor where the visitors had to clean and feed the patient God knows what would happen to you if you didn't’get a visitor or didn't have any friends or relatives to care for you,as soon as she found the insurance and they took over he was moved to a very nice hospital close to a hotel that they put her in so she could be close to him

                  I think that all our Counties can and should pay for our health what do you think.

Well I think I may have got back into the swing of things and bored you all once again so until nexed time

                                              Be good what goes around does come around.

Well the dreaded PC we all love so much has given me some bad head pain this last few wk's nothing would work very well I thought I had picked up a virus or something but all the virus progs didnt’ find anything out of the norm apart from the odd spy cookie which are harmless but the lucky thing is I have a new PC thanks to my Sheila .

One of the things that went barmy was the first thing I could not get on my space good I here you say well IM  BACK  lol  so Poo

so glad I got this PC because I used to play around with videos so I can now do that again because it's quite a powerful model it's a Packard Bell three core with three meg of memory so good on my Sheila god I hope she didn't spend to much I know these things have come down in price a lot but this PC is good and it has a 19 inch monitor as well all shiny black to match the PC  wow ill have to get Sheila something nice in return any ideas out on spaces .

does everyone like the way spaces has changed I guess it is for our own good but having to join a network all the time is a bit of a pain and a few people have tried to go on my space and have not been allowed but with me not going on myself I didn't know if it was a setting on my page or not so I hope the people come back now I'm back online.

Well I guess that's all I was saying just wanted to see if I have anyone online who remembers  the old bore   lol so I guess ill have a look around spaces so be good and ill catch you later I hope.
