Good morning fellow NOPErs so while we stuff our faces for International Sushi Day and our Yankee friends celebrate National Go Fishing Day ( yeah-NAH you mob can keep that, I'd rather play golf and I frickin hate golf) but that thought of fishing makes me wonder, why, when sharks are immune to all known diseases has noone every used this knowledge to make a super vaccine, for everything, I mean come on people what's multiple rows of pointy teeth between mates. And did you know that the average Aussie swallows 3 spiders a year...wot the!... Guess who's sleeping with Gaffa tape on their mouth from now on. So NOPE...not on puff (or eight legged freak of nature) Ever, never again.

I saw the first one once.

This one's for @Doreensfree ... Thinking of you ... And all the other Chicks of the QT....

Don't you have a smellgination?

Do you think it smelt bad?

Good morning fellow NOPErs....so today I need to shout out a huge thank you to our Sepo mates because today is there National Eat Your Vegetables Day...and I'm claiming it... I live in a house full of carnivores, tonight it's a full on veggie fest....there will be all my faves, yep even peas.....and because it's Eat Ya Veggies Day they can just sick it up....fun veggie fact, onions have more sugar than strawberries....but I digress, lots of veg make an awesome quit snack...carrot sticks people, they give you something to chew during a crave and their high sugar content helps with those wacky blood sugar levels during the early days. And everyone knows ya can't beat a root so why not chuck a couple if beetroots in the oven to roast up and snack on, if you slice em thin, give them a squirt with oil and a sprinkle of salt then bake until crisp...perfect chips (crisps for the Britskis) Smokes = NOPE Veggies = yeah!

Good morning fellow NOPErs and Happy Father's Day to all our dad's living in the UK, Canada, India, the Americas and the USA.....so basically all our dad's except Chris, Fab and any Kiwis, they have to wait for September. So any dad's out there lurking, in that limbo between wanting to quit and actually quitting why not celebrate Father's Day 2019 by giving yourself, your kids and your grandkids the greatest gift you can and say NOPE...not one puff every again. NOPE....cos my Dad loves that I now don't.

Well girl prisoners with babies under 2 would be putting them on there sprigs one would think. When the no smoking laws first came in there were riots. They get patches and gum and stuff.

Do you think he ever worked out who Shane was?

It would have been in Victoria, our prisons are now smoke free, he woulda had no choice.

Yep same rules down here too, fart laws must be global. Have you ever noticed that if it burns a bit on the way out it should probably have its own postcode (zip code)?

Where have you been that you missed out on learning how to party?

Waiting for the kid to wake up and go grocery shopping...and join me at Bunnings for lunch, yep Gun killed the garden snake...again....not sure if the kid trained him to do it to guarantee regular Bunnings Sausages or if he really thinks he is protecting us from its evilness.

Weegie nailed the spoo and turtling is when you are hanging for the dunny and like a turtle poking its head outta it's shell a hard poo starts poking its head out ya body.....you've not been there, done that?

Good morning fellow NOPErs....so here I was all ready to shout out international juggling day but NOPE.....today is Boo's wedding day...so best wishes mate, may the NOPE be with you. Sending best wishes for a long and happy life to Boo & Sugar Britches ...that's a yep....... Putting something in my mouth and setting it on fire.....that's a NOPE, today, tomorrow and forever.

Or is it just a really big Satdee night?

So if you haven't sharted have you ever had a turtle or spoo?

This one goes out to @Boo....not sure you will even log on today.....

Congrats Pearlie on ya ripper 3 years! (Was a bit worried about where the necklace thing was going until the pics loaded )

Woohoo it's Friday...nothing beats a NOPE on Friday...well some things do, but ya know, mixed company and all . So not only is today smoke free but it is also Bourban Day ... Ye it's a thing, so even in the drinking days was not really a fan but millions of peeps around the world love this stuff so thank you America....see technically, if you are an alcohol snob, to be considered a Bourban it must be made in the USA and have at least 50% corn, which is what gives it that distinct taste.... So happy Bourban day. NOPE....cause I deserve to breath easy.

Thursday 13th June is Sewing Machine Day... Did you know that the sewing machine is a French invention from the 1830s? Well it is. It wasn't that long ago that every house had a sewing machine, now not so much. But if you do have one, pull it out and have a go, busy work on the machine is a great way to kill a crave. NOPE.... Not today, tomorrow or ever again.

@Reci is right, your up.... Cos I did go to band camp and I was house captain but the only two successful protests I lead were for paper recycling boxes in each class and for the girls to be allowed on the oval at lunch and for the girls to have an interschool cricket team. Sport Houses...when you start school every student gets assigned a colour house (red, blue, green & gold). Usually in highschool (7-12) your house will also be named after someone famous. So in primary school (prep to grade 6) I was in gold/yellow...then in both my highschool a I was in blue, but at one it was called Flinders (after Matthew Flinders the explorer) and at the other it was called Xavier (after St Francis Xavier, patron st of Australia)...so 1/4 of the school is in each house....and then once a year each house competes against the other in a swimming carnival, an athletics day, a cross country event and other stuff not limited to sport like debating etc. You compete for points and the house with the most wins, and what do you win...well the honour of rubbing it in the others faces. My school also had interhouse basketball, netball, cricket, table tennis, footy(Aussie), soccer, tennis, hockey (field) and volleyball comps. The you have school rep teams that compete against other schools in a heap of sports.

And Vegemite makes it perfect!

Wednesday 12th of June sees the sunny USofA gift us with National Beef Jerky Day...while dried and preserved meats are feature of global cultures the term Jerky is an American derivative of a Spanish word stollen from one of the traditional South American languages....and like so many other things from around the world my people have taken it and perfected it.... And so on Beef Jerky Day I say... NOPE....not one puff ever!
