FFO and Smiles And Hopefully Laughter

This screaming lady is for Nicole´s FFO and  Gillena ...
Is she screaming of fear or of joy??? 
At first I thought -- Halloween, Spider, horrible ghosts. 
Maybe the latter that we overcame 35 years ago.
 
AI: "German Unity Day on October 3rd, 2025 is the 35th national holiday, as the GDR joined the Federal Republic on October 3rd, 1990 and this day has been a public holiday ever since."
 
"Us Wessies" were afraid at first - it all went too fast. But now the ghosts are gone and I would go for a joyful "AAAA!" Thanks for having you guys here, all "my" mT´s, fK... I don´t wanna have missed them!
 
And for the Friday´s Smiles, awww...
  

 
And how about some funnies?
 
 
Yes. This is my Hubby. As most of us, me included, he hates decluttering.
So, despite having two weeks off... he sits just like that... OK, last minute he at least started - please keep going!
 

 


All very, very nice people at ALSTOM! Sadly? Cause...
 
 
 
Polite. Seems like German and Spanish people are way more impulsive than Austrian ones!
So far didn´t hear the F-word once! 
 
 



And of course....
 


For CJ (I´m more the Pudding-Fan. Ah, nahhh. Love them all! #Supernatural).
 
 
 
"The Dangers of Fashion in the Victorian Era 
 

 Deadly pigment


Chemist Carl Wilhelm Scheele discovered a new green pigment.
This was initially called Scheele Green and later Paris or Schweinfurt Green and consisted of a mixture of potassium and white arsenic in a solution of copper sulfate."

The countdown to Creep:

 Smile and laugh, it´s Friday!

OMGosh Iris this is a fabulous post. From screaming lady to Ingo just sitting, the F word, too many funnys. The one about the dark is so true. I keep my lights, stove off and I unplugged my freezer. But the best is the lady and the kangaroo. I have seen and read that they can be extremely dangerous. Thank you for joining FFO and have a lovely weekend.

Iris Flavia said...

Thank you, Nicole, glad you liked my post. Oh, yes, don´t play with wild roos! And even those in National parks can by accident get dangerous They are curious but always stay wild animals. And have muscles, huhhhh!
To a great weekend.

Iris Flavia said...

Iris Flavia said...

Padre, no worries - it takes a LOT to trigger ALL my nerves and yes, your language is dangerous!
Big Hugs, to brains and cheers!

Happy Unification Day! I'm with the kitten. So much to do. So little desire to do it.

Maria Medeiros said...

Happy Friday! oh how wonderful and funny pictures! I love your drawing! It's me everytime i look at laundry. LOL Happy Friday and have a wonderful October!

Felix the Crafty Cat said...

Hi Iris, I absolutely understand why Ingo doesn't like decluttering, I need to but just don'r know where to start or what to do with the stuff that needs a new home. That's a brilliant photo of the kangaroo, I know you have to be careful when you're near the big ones as they can kick without reason. I hope people undersdtand the Alligator sign Lol! Hugs Angela xXx

Iris Flavia said...

Yah, I´m the kitty, too....

Iris Flavia said...

Please don´t mention laundry! ;-)
Tl a wonderful October!

Iris Flavia said...

Angela, I managed to clear my little desk - that was all! Yup, I saw roos in action for real.... No one was really hurt, so it was funny, rather... I DO hope, too the sign is understood, hugs xXx

Jeanie said...

Lots of great images here. And I'm with Ingo! That's about how I am with decluttering!

Iris Flavia said...

Yah.. me, also! BUT! He´s at it - peu à peu!

Linda's Relaxing Lair said...

Dear friend Iris, I love the turtle story!!! Your sketch in the first image made me smile! LOL! :) I can relate to the cat, such a sweet kitty! LOL on the kangaroo, Meanwhile in Australia! The electric bill one had me laughing! The old magazine one was a groaner but very funny! I love the Victorian era illustration! Limpy and the tram is so cute!
Henry and baby are wonderful!
Sending you love and hugs, dear friend.

Spare Parts and Pics said...

The alligators sign had me laughing out loud. Thanks for the post, Iris!

Bill said...

It's amazing how some people can get on every one of those nerves. Great and funny post.

peppylady (Dora) said...

the kangaroo is great. Some I would guess they forget there wild animals.

River said...

I'm like the kitty too, except I stay in bed instead of getting up. I agree with being scared of the lights because of the bill, I even don't have TV on during the day, only at night and turn it off long before midnight these days.
The Misha clip isn't long enough, I could watch that man ALL day.

River said...

IMDb says Misha's birthday is August 20th, 1974

Iris Flavia said...

Dear friend Linda - glad you liked this post :-) Aren´t we all that kitty at heart? And yes, I was already afraid when a wallaby touched me! Love and hugs to you!

Iris Flavia said...

You´re welcome - don´t go for a swim ;-)

Iris Flavia said...

LOL, so you´re with Dorothy, too, Bill!

Iris Flavia said...

Oh, they are and are full of muscles, too!

Iris Flavia said...

True, but I only found it now and no shame sharing ;-)

Iris Flavia said...

Ingo made sure we have LEDs everywhere and save money, but yes, it is hilarious how prices rise. If I find a longer Misha-clip, I´ll embed :-)

Super, dass du wieder bei Alstom bist. Ich wünsche dir, dass du weiterhin so positive Erfahrungen bei der Arbeit machst.
Hier in Kalifornien habe ich einige Ostdeutsche kennengelernt, die in der DDR gelebt hatten und schließlich in die USA ausgewandert sind. Was denen wohl im Moment durch den Kopf geht...
