FFO - And....

 
 
With these faces I join Nicole´s FFO as my back still hurts too much for anything else.
I started walking and hope that helps. 
For Gillena I have this: 
 

 Another crumpet.
 

Smiles...


 


Remember that episode? #GoldenGirls at full volume. Rose drives one "nuts"!
I wonder how often they had to repeat this to get it done without laughing! 
It was the episode where Blanche, Dorothy and Rose go on a voyage with men and Blanche suggests at the store to get "protection" and Rose wouldn´t "get" it till Dorothy flips.
 
 
 
This weekend is meant to be packed. Day of Lower Saxony people from Friday to Sunday, big party, one of the biggest events here ever they say or... hope.
 

 
 I booked tickets for the Braunschweig Lions (American Football) with Dresden Monarchs and...
 
 
Cold and rainy.
But yes - they´re renamed to Braunschweig Lions, yippeeee.
Clothes-store New Yorker had them from 2011-2025 and named them "New Yorker Lions" - what nonsense!!! 
Just so you know: "They have been in the German Football League continuously since 1994 and are the record holders for most German championships with twelve German Bowl victories. Internationally, the Lions have been successful with six Eurobowl wins." 
 

 


... it was but a cat, Dean. For now...

 Henry 🦁
 

 Have a fun Friday.

Sorry you are still having back pain. Love the banana kitty. Yoda ad I think the same way. Loved the missing dog. Cute funnies. Happy FFO and AFFF.

I have to pay for my dumbness... but wish the weather was better - but either way, I´ll check out what´s happening in the city, happy FFO/AFFF!

Love the dog and kitty, people are so creative.
I tend to forget my grocery list, so the Golden Girls funny is cute.
I like the Yoda funny too. I hope your back pain is gone soon.
Take care, have a great day and a happy weekend.

I love the banana Henry today. Very fun. And you have some good funnies. Hope the walking helps your back. I pulled a muscle in my right shoulder the other day and I'm right handed so I'm not having fun...and me, I'm not very good at not using it. :) I hope your back feels better soon. hugs-Erika

The Rev. Arnoldo L. Romero, MLA said...

I'm sorry to hear your back is hurting, and pray it's better soon. That Star Trek made me laugh out loud -- I grew up watching the show, so know exactly what it means. Blessings, my friend and Happy FFO!

Jeanie said...

That lettuce face totally cracked me up! Sending all good wishes for your back!

Iris Flavia said...

Thank you. I broke my right arm in 1994 and had to use my left hand for 7+- months and ever since I mix up left and right! Hope you get better soon, hugs!

Iris Flavia said...

Thank you, yes, I do my best. Hihi at my former company we had such a Star Trek meme for in case you need help. Think twice! ;-) Happy FFO my friend!

Iris Flavia said...

Thank you from lettuce and me :-)

RedPat said...

I love Kermit today. And Yoda. We are having hot & humid weather, Iris.

Iris Flavia said...

Lucky you, RedPat. Sweater on and freezing.

DVArtist said...

I'm waiting for insurance to approve an MRI for my back. I hope you get some relief, it's miserable. I'm laughing and giggling at your post but I'm so taken with the lettuce dog. OMGosh that is just toooooo darn cute. Thank you for sharing with FFO and have a good day today.

Carola Bartz said...

Es tut mir leid, dass du immer noch Rückenprobleme hast, aber Bewegung tut hoffentlich gut. Ich hatte früher oft Rückenschmerzen und weiß, wie beeinträchtigend und wirklich schmerzhaft das ist. Alles Gute für dich.

Fundy Blue said...

I hope your back pain ends soon, Iris! And may your weekend weather improve. We're having hot sunshine and poor air quality air today. I enjoyed the humor you shared. Have a good one!

Amypie71 said...

yup I remember video cassette tapes, I used them so much during the 1980s, hope you sort your back out, have a nice weekend.

Rostrose said...

Liebe Iris - der Salathund 😍! Sowas von herzig!
Und ja, "Calvin has a point" - ich finde, solche Fragen kann man doch einem Kind durchaus beantworten... Man wird wohl kaum sofort von ihm gefressen werden.
Leider habe ich die GoldenGirls nur selten gesehen - ich hatte es nicht so mit Serien, weil ich es meistens schaffte, einen Großteil der Folgen zu versäumen. Inzwischen streame ich, da geht das viel einfacher 😉
Bei uns soll das Wochenende auch verregnet sein - oder jedenfalls der Samstag. Am So KÖNNTE es besser werden, jedenfalls hoffen wir das, weil wir Pläne haben. Mal sehen. Ich drück dir die Daumen für passables Wetter beim Lions Spiel.
Apropos: Der Bananen-Katzen-Lion ist auch klasse! Nicht so süß wie der Salathund, aber richtig gut gemacht!
Alles Liebe (und gute Wünsche für deinen Rücken!)
Traude

Dear friend Iris, thank you so much for the laughs! I am sorry about your back pain! And I love the creativity in a few of these images!
Sending you lots of love and hugs!

Guillaume said...

Love the Calvin and Hobbes joke.

CJ Kennedy said...

Wise words from Kermit. Dean! Thanks for the earworm!

River said...

Calvin does have a good point. And I remember that Golden Girls episode. I like the banana cat and sent that picture to the twins. I think they will like it. Silly New York to rename the Lions.

magiceye said...

As always great funnies to kick off the weekend!

Iris Flavia said...

Fingers crossed for the MRI! Here insurance takes that, but this is Germany... Yips, isn´t that dog cute! Have a good day today, dear host!

Iris Flavia said...

Danke, ja, es ist echt "ätzend" (falls man das heute noch sagt). Ich habe jetzt auch Schmerztabletten... wird schon :-)

Iris Flavia said...

Thank you, oh - poor aur quality does not sound good! I might be luckier with the weather as in cool but maybe no rain.

Iris Flavia said...

Yes, ohhhh we are old ;-) Thank you, that back grrrrr...

Iris Flavia said...

Traude, LOL, ja, ich denke, Calvin würde nicht gleich über seine Mutter herfallen! Salat und Bananen, was man mit Essbarem alles anstellen kann! Nur dann ist es zu schade zum essen? Auf gutes Wetter für uns beide! Und dank Tabletten geht´s auch besser hier, Alles Liebe!

Iris Flavia said...

Thank you, dear friend Linda - to laughter and smiles and a better back - Love and hugs are on the way!

Iris Flavia said...

Hehe :-)

Iris Flavia said...

LOL and you´re very welcome, just put your head to rest ;-)

Iris Flavia said...

Yes, Calvin isn´t dumb, huh - can imagine such questions pop up in intelligent kid´s minds. Yes, so glad they´re renamed to Braunschweig Lions!!!!

Iris Flavia said...

Shoot - no brolly at hand? We´re supposed to be near Summer! 15C. Gack.

Iris Flavia said...

Hurray to that!

Lowcarb team member said...

So sorry you are still experiencing back pain, hope it starts to improve soon.
I do like the banana kitty.

All the best Jan

Thank you - dumbness gets punished...
