May 9, 20188 yr Good morning my fellow travelers on the NOPE train. Here's hoping we are all hail and hearty. So what's happening around the world today... well its World Missing Orangutan Mother's Day... which scarred me for a bit cos I'm the mum of a ranga and if were going missing maybe I should be worried... but then I took a chill pill and realised they meant the real rangas and that decimation on their populations by the palm oil industry. So they we are all aware. ... so then I popped over to the American daily even calendar and it is gold.... because (and @Boo is gunna love this) it is their National Shrimp Day .... nope, not the day they celebrate short people but the day they celebrate the deliciousness that is the prawn! For those not enamoured with the yumminess of little shellfish please note it is also the American National Clean Up Your Room day... what a great lead in for Mother's day (for the non-Brits).... will be pretending it is so in Aus too and telling the little ranga this morning if the room isn't cleaned her ranga mum might go missing. Here's a fun fact.... no Aussie ever chucked a shrimp on the barbie, let alone another shrimp but we would have been known to chuck some prawns on the barbie.... Hoges just told ya that cos we didn't want yas to have to translate too many words. Your welcome. OK so on to the important thing... its time for the pledge: NOPE NOT TODAY, NOT TOMORROW, NOT EVER, FOREVER! Topic of the day: Sad Songs .... Edited May 9, 20188 yr by notsmokinjo
May 9, 20188 yr NOPE! Not today. On this day in 2001 I lost my Mum to lung cancer. RIP Mum. Smoking sucks.
