G’day NOPE ..... Not One Puff Ever... replace ‘Ever’ with minute, hour or day as require

NOPE

NOPE

Good morning fellow NOPErs and welcome to another day of freedom. So for those of Irish Catholic descent don't forget to be hangin' a bunch of yellow flags on ya door for Corpus Christi Day and Poppin off to mass for the sacrament.....but religion aside, today is World Refugee Day...considering a fair wack if my mob were boat people refugees (came to Aus fleeing the Great Hunger in Ireland) this holds meaning...refugees and a refugee crisis us not a new thing within the history of the world but here are some startling facts, in 2019 the world refugee population exceeded 70million...so for some perspective people that is twice as many people as live in the whole of Canada, or that is all the people who live in the UK and Ireland combined and it is almost 3 times as many people as live in the whole if Australia...more than half of these refugees are kids, Pakistan has more refugees living there than any other country....sobering thoughts to have with ya weetbix. Oh well shortest day if the year tomorrow (longest for you northern mob). Will I ever put something in my mouth and burn it again....NOPE!! not one puff ever ....

NOPE!!!!!!!!!!!!

Good Arvo fellow NOPErs ... It was too cold to take the gloves off and post this morning (just for giggles, my too cold is 8c, so just for the Americans who use F...46.4)....so normally today I'd be giving a shout out to Juneteenth for our friends from the land of the free, seeing as this heralds when it became more true BUT there is a pretty big birthday that is happening today.... Happy 70th Birthday to NASCAR "stock car only" racing....who on this day in 1949 held their first ever race at the Charlotte Speedway...not Charlotte Motor Speedway, which is a completely different track....so to be technical NASCAR was founded in Feb 1948 and before the 19th June 1949 they held numerous races, mainly in dirt tracks, with the first being in Daytona, BUT these were open to all cars, the 19 June 1949 saw the first stock car only event... So while any NASCAR race will never hold a candle to Bathurst (those drivers don't need to dodge roos for starters) 70 continuous years of racing deserves a woohoo.. Watching cars go round and round tracks super fast...that's a hell yeah.. Smoking a ciggie....that's NOPE...every day

NOPE !!!!....is there a party !!!....yaaaaa......

NOPE

Nope

NOPE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So our favourite poetry quoting Indian Princess joins the Lido Deck tomorrow...there have been some behind the scenes preparations going on and just wondering if there are any special requests..... @jillar does need to worry we will have plenty of not spicy food... The bar area is looking on point... And I'm a happy little camper cos I had a squiz in the kitchen and I saw pistachio kulfi, mango lassi and Gulab jamun...dunno wot you mob are having but I'm set. @Doreensfree even has a special outfit all ready... So I his us your last chance to get in orders for our special indian night...

No folding of the dunny paper...but I have been known to put the notes in my purse in denomination order, and serial number order, with all the little windows facing the same way.... I may have even ironed a note before because it was crinkly... Not my most stellar idea considering our notes are plastic and irons melt plastic...oops at least it was only a fiver so I only melted the queen's face...and maybe cans in the pantry have been alphabetized...but we don't have much in cans.. i don't see myself being able to use your mum's dunny...and hey I might glue the kids socks to her legs but my rule is as long as it doesn't smell and she can shut the door if she wants to have a bedroom where the wardrobe is the floor...that's her problem not mine.

So for those of you who frequent some of the seedier social threads will know I have a touch of the OCDs...to the point I glue my daughter's school socks to her legs so they stay up and are perfectly level...now before you get all freaked and start calling child services.....I use a ligit product called sock glue, you get it from Irish dance stuppliers so how could it be wrong...and meh, so the kid has a permenant bald stripe ringing each leg, if you look closely you will notice they are perfectly symmetrical and even on both legs...ok so now you have the personality background...hold your horses my friends as the wierdness gets, well wierder......after confessing to my issues about sickest being perfectly level and even and wot not and being known to conduct image quality control based on this I must now confess....I can not wear matching socks because it's bag luck, yep you heard it here first, the sick nazi ( as the kid has dubbed me) can not wear matching socks because if I do bad things will happen...I have taken this to the extreme of sewing beads etc on one sick of a pair so that they do not match (technically) but I can still be in sport uniform.....and to take things to the extreme I have been known, on occassion, to wear odd thongs...because clearly that brings good luck.

The cute dogs want to join in the fun too....

G’day Not just for Jillar https://sukhis.com/indian-food-with-beer/ how to pair beer with Indian food Chris

Wondering if anyone else wonders if @Cbdave wets the bed on the mornings he starts the NOPE at 4am?

Nope

Glad to see some schools are going to start random testing. Like cigs, it will never stop it completely but it is a start in the right direction to prevent minors becoming addicted. This is a very sad story and I feel for the young person.

What's a celebration without a cow?

How about the dancers?

G’day Freedom. noun. the power or right to act, speak, or think as one wants. "we do have some freedom of choice" synonyms:right to, entitlement to; More 2. the state of not being imprisoned or enslaved. "the shark thrashed its way to freedom" synonyms:liberty, liberation, release, emancipation, deliverance, delivery, discharge, non-confinement, extrication; More I think this one word encompasses a lot of meaning
