So, that´s how your Easter-eggs get their color - and with this diligent bunny I join Nicole´s FFO, wishing you a happy Easter!
And I bet you find a smile for the lille helper, too, with whom I join Annie´s Smiles:
I plan to clean up and be laaaaaazy otherwise!
Weather likely crappy, so we need some funnies, right?
But first, I want to give you another smile - I think I saw before, but it´s still good to show again there are people you can rely on!
Nisal Rathnayake explains on FB:
"In 1968, the author received the Pulitzer Prize for this photograph - one of the most prestigious awards in the United States, which is awarded for achievements in music, cinema, theater and journalism.
The picture shows two electricians, Randall Champion and Jay Thompson, hanging from a power pole. That day there was a strong heat and nothing foreshadowed trouble. The hum of air conditioners in July 1967 was heard throughout the state of Florida. Because of them, in the city of Jacksonville, there was an overload of power lines, and this caused a power surge.
Randall and Jay were doing routine maintenance on a live line when Randall accidentally touched one of the wires. A discharge of 4000 V passed through the body and his heart stopped. For understanding: during the execution in the electric chair, a voltage of 2000 V is used
Randall's lifeless body hung from the harness. But his partner Jay did not lose his head, realizing that every second is precious, he began to give him artificial respiration right on the pole. It was very inconvenient, but there was no other way out. In such a situation, it is difficult to conduct a normal resuscitation, but Jay still tried to start his friend's heart until he had a weak pulse.
Only after that he unhooked his partner's insurance and, throwing him over his shoulder, went down to the ground. By the time the rescuers arrived (they were called by professional photographer Rocco Morabito, who happened to be at the scene), Champion was already conscious on the ground.
Not only was he saved, thanks to Thompson, but he lived another 35 years. The electrician died in 2003 at the age of 64.
Thompson is alive today."

Now to the fun part 😊
For those of you who still "suffer"...
I remember one Easter we built an Easter-bunny...
Henry 🦁
Hope you have one, too, and can enjoy!
In clubs and discos it is forbidden here to dance and in some federal states there is a fine from €1000 - €10 000.
I think this is not right. There are many religions and many who don´t believe, so why forbid dancing in public places.
Let those who want to go to church and remember in silence do and let those who wanna celebrate a long weekend, do.
My two cents...

...Iris, thanks for the chuckles, have a wonderful day.
You´re welcome, Tom, to a great day!
My Easter sounds like your Easter will be. Lazy! Grin. And that tooth cup gives me the creeps. OOOOOO. Have a great start to your weekend and the rest of your FRiday. hugs-Erika
The tooth cup looks perfect for Nicole. Ha ha, she make made one from clay.
Happy Easter. Thankfully ours should be sunny and warm.
Wonderful art. I really love the story of the linemen. I have seen this cup and saucer before and would love it in my house. Good funnies too. Thank you for sharing with FFO and have a very nice weekend.
Such a fun post today....thanks for the chuckles.
Hugs,
Annie x
Great start to the day. Have a good day
Love your Easter Bunny art!
Happy Easter 🐰🐣🌸
Erika, to laziness! :-) To proper cups and a great weekend, hugs!

Gene, yes, I thought so, also! Happy Easter, if cool and rather not sunny...

Nicole, thought the cuppa is for you :-)
To a nice weekend! Hope your weather is better than ours...

Annie, you´re always welcome, thank you for giving your platform, hugs x

CJ, you´re welcome - to a great day!

Debra, thank you - came out a bit pale on the pic, though...

sikkis, a happy Easter to you, too!
I totally agree with you on discos and the like. I am a Christian, but those who are not should be allowed to do their own thing.
Yes, that story of the linesman is amazing. A true hero!
I laughed at all your funnies. (The Startrek one is my fav)
I just read your blog about the prison. A bit scary. But as the guide says. People were there for a reason, they were not the nicest of people.
I'm going to have a quiet Easter too. My lodger is coming to lunch/dinner tomorrow and I will probably go to church on Sunday morning and that is it.
Have a lovely weekend,
Hugs,
Lisca
Love the funnies today and the story of the electricians. I hope to relax this weekend and eat well. Thanks, Iris.
I'm a dancing woman...er, or used to be. If I go to church on Easter, I'm always aware of a certain amount of the congregation that only appears on that day and Christmas. So sad. Dancing!
Happy Easter, or Happy Ham Day or Happy Lazy Day, whatever works for you! We will have out of town guests but no big Easter doings. Maybe a bonfire that evening.
The linemen story is close to home for me. My Dad was burned on a pole twice. Also two brothers and a nephew have been badly burned by electricity. My nephew was on Good Morning America because I guess no one known had survived so much voltage.
I’m surprised you didn’t mention the Easter Bilby, the animal that. brings eggs for Australians on Easter. A few years ago they cancelled bunnies because of the ecological damage that introduced rabbits have caused there. The Bilby is a native so not destructive.
Happy Easter to you.
best, mae at maefood.blogspot.com
Cute Easter Art and thanks for the smiles! Blessed Easter.
Lisca, I wish everybody was as open to people considering religion (and everything else, too!) as you are.
Glad you liked the story of the linesman, too.
Picard they make into some dude, huh ;-) I saw interviews with him, he is a funny guy!
The prison true-stories brought me to the edge of believing in humans.
To a lazy, yet happy Easter, hugs!

RedPat, thank you - reckon we´re all lazy this weekend - which is good!
____
Barbara, yes, I think you should dance BECAUSE!!!
Celebrate what was achieved, even if it was in pain!
No dancing is like no voting despite women fought for it.
Nice this thought comes now ;-)
____
Sue, happy lazy days, I´d say :-)
A bonfire sounds great - we have but a small balcony so... hope for pics from you!
Oh my, WHAT?! Huhhh. I feel all dizzy. Burnings are horrible to me. I always have to stop my neighbor when he starts with war stories where burning is involved. But reckon yours came out OK?
Oh boy...
____
Mae, I have never been really to Straya aound Easter - getting too cold already ;-)
Yes, some animals were even on The Simpsons, being not native, destroying that country. Like the Toad frog, brr......
Either way, a happy Easter!

Christine, thank you and have a wonderful Easter!
Hi Iris, I know I'm late! got in my cabin and forgot what time it was that's what crafting does to you Lol! Loving your Easter bunny, so cute. That is an amazing story about the electricians and one cheeky cat in the pizza box, love it. Have a very happy Easter. Hugs Angela xXx
Such a nice story. Have a wonderful weekend!
Angela, the best excuse ever :-)
Also blogging should be FUN. Bunny is a bit pale, but the electrician-story... so great. One day.... I´ll have a cat (or rather two, so they can play)
Happy Easter, hugs xXx
Bertiebo, yes, to men .. people... who can help!
To a great weekend!
The teeth cup looks interesting.
Cheers!
That toothy cup and saucer is just creepy. I had something else to say but forgot it when I saw that.
LOL, River!!! You crack me up with this! 🤣
I hope you had a lazy enjoyable weekend. What a strange rule to forbid dancing over Easter. It is such a joyous time.
Your painting bunny is cute and so is the little squirrel.
The story about the electricians was interesting.
The teeth cup is a bit gruesome! But I smiloed at your funnies.
I hope the weather isn-t too grim for you.

Dein Osterhase ist schwer am arbeiten - gut so. Hier ist Ostern nur am Sonntag, kein Ostermontag oder Karfreitag oder irgendsowas. Wir feiern auch nicht Ostern, aber ich freute mich trotzdem, heute morgen ein paar bunter Eier in meinem Vorgarten zu entdecken. Keine Ahnung, wer von meinen Nachbarn sie "versteckt" hat, aber ich habe einen Verdacht. Schönen Ostermontag dir/euch.
