Saw this picture yesterday

I must admit - my bottom lip started to wobble - it came with this simple caption:

'Be grateful.'

 

Agree, @clanless everyday i count my blessings - never take for granted what i have and what others constantly go without - and will always pay it forward ...Wealth of any kind be it humble, moderate or vast is not to be harbored but to be shared

 

​

 

Some more pic's - this is why I retired early :

 

"Your greatest contribution on Gods earth, may not be something you do but someone you raise"
"Their behavior will have a negative or positive impact in this world,
So be sure to raise them well"
My Mam always preaches this ​

 

@clanless so glad to hear you made the decision to retire early and glad that you are enjoying it

Mr Kandys ex boss has finally thrown in the towel and resigned from the local government job they both worked in because the stress of the job plus the worry of his mum who is suffering with cancer was starting to take its toll on his health and well being

Of course the lazy bone idle ones are flying the flags because they are now getting rid of him as they were not happy that he kept getting on to them to do the tasks they are employed to do.Problem with local government is that it is harder these days to get rid of people so they can get away with so much

As far as we know he hasn’t even got another job to go to and he doesn’t even want a leaving do,he just wants to get away from them all asap. It is such a shame because he is such a nice person and both Mr Kandy and myself and others he works with get on with him ok

 

Hi Kandy - same here, in local government for 30+ years - the clincher for me was council workers can now draw their pension at 55 - which is perhaps why your hubby's boss left. As you probably know, the council retirement age is now also linked to the state pension age - so I would have had to have worked until I was 67 to get a full pension .

We may not have as much money as when I was working - but by 'eck - it's worth it. I don't regret packing work in for one single minute - it was the best thing I ever did .

The problem is that the majority of people are out for themselves - there are very few 'genuine' people in the workplace - sad but true.

 

and another...

Perhaps we should have a separate thread for thought provoking images?

 

And another

 

I like the bit 'from the heart of my bottom' -

Sometimes I wonder if it's 1st April :

Man 'cements microwave to his head'

Fair play to this guy.

 

The world needs more like this bloke, about 2000 million bent on self destruction, then global warming/ climate change wouldn't figure.
I'd gladly mix some of the polyfilla, not sure we could find enough microwaves though.

Honestly though, what the hell are we breeding these days.

 

@shiney I'm 99% certain that particular Jurgens was the restaurant that closed down in Douglas, Isle of Man.
