25.01.2022 Pretty accuate!

25.01.2022 Staying in great health is important.

25.01.2022 Do you deserve a hot, tasty, sweet, perfect donut as well as a nice coffee? Quick do something at work so you do deserve it! File something, make the call you have been putting off, clear your desk and arrange your work for the day (you know - planning - it is in all the success books!). Pick one thing and CRUSH it. I promise it will feel good. Then - either crush another one or reward yourself. We humans feel momentum as happiness - and while our donuts are awesome - th...at little dose of happiness from momentum in a meaningful project is better if you need happiness more often. That's the theory anyway. Donuts give us a dose of "stress" relief. Did you know that? When we have been in stress for a while due to us not choosing to meditate or otherwise turn off our SNS (sympathetic nervous system which is our fight/flight/freeze system) - there is a wild mix of hormones and chemicals running wild in our bodies. In this mode, eating something that will give us FAST energy (eg sugar), will cause a reaction that will give us a little feeling of calm. (For a short time.) That is why we like to eat sweets when we are stressed, or otherwise emotional. The chemistry is amazing. You can use this information for good or evil. If you are in a meeting and someone is stressed - give them a biscuit with their tea or coffee. This can create a short time of increased calm so you can help or guide them to a good decision. Yes - it does work in sales. But - on the flip side - once you know that eating sweets and carbs can reduce your stress (briefly/temporarily) - you can also realize that it is not the best way to manage the (constant) stresses of life. If you choose to use this biochemistry as your main stress-breaker - it invites problems from the downstream chemistry. ie your body produces insulin, and that causes other effects, you are likely to add body fat (and other issues) over time. Perhaps just a kilogram a year, but it adds up. (Hooper's Store has been there since 1963 or so... Time goes quickly.) One alternative is to learn to turn off/down your SNS (fight/flight/freeze) mechanism directly. Once you figure this out, you can use sugary delights (donuts!) as they should be used - for a very tasty treat without guilt - rather than a "reliever medication". This "SNS - Off Button" can be done several ways, and how you learn to do it (and if you even want to) is up to you. But it is a great life skill. This has been a long post, so if you want to know some techniques to switch off SNS - comment below and I will link a few things, (or google it!) Why tell you about this? Perhaps it is a way to help people enjoy a great donut without any guilt? If you have already acheived this wonderful state - come on it for your fresh made donuts and coffee!

24.01.2022 Awesome idea. Please support this cause.

23.01.2022 Ok, I love Tesla coils... https://nerdist.com/arti/africa-toto-played-by-tesla-coils/

23.01.2022 Time for an nice organic coffee. And maybe a hot donut or two...

23.01.2022 Cool image. Coffee time!

23.01.2022 Hump day. Bring me organic fresh roasted dark beans coffee from Hoopers... with milk in it.

22.01.2022 Excellent example of the highest and best use of the internet.

22.01.2022 Always time for bad jokes. Also for a hot fresh pie for lunch.

21.01.2022 I just had a delicious hot organic coffee from Hoopers, because I am Batman.

21.01.2022 Now you can say you know how they created the tornado in Wizard of Oz. Pretty sure that will make you the centre of attention at the next party! No wait. Are we allowed to have a party? Well we are still allowed to have coffee. Organic coffee for me. And a choc slice. Chocolate has antioxidant effects - take that COvID19!!!

20.01.2022 Time now for a fresh made meat pie from Hoopers because. Just because. And this is how you defeat zombies. (see below). Because, well, just because.

18.01.2022 La Nina is coming, apparently. Good explanation video on the link below. More rain. Unless it rains less. And it might. But more likely more rain and more cyclones. https://www.abc.net.au//bom-declares-la-nina-alert/12569630

15.01.2022 Welcome to Friday, again. Sometimes it seems like it happens every week. Here are some silly memes, to make you smile. Here is an ad: Hey, Hoopers have some nice food for breakfast, lunch and dinner, and pretty decent organic, fresh roasted, dark bean coffee to help you get through Fridays. Right, here are some memes - I threw in some old ones coz I am lazy on Fridays...

15.01.2022 At 40, Franz Kafka (1883-1924), who never married and had no children, walked through the park in Berlin when he met a girl who was crying because she had lost ...her favourite doll. She and Kafka searched for the doll unsuccessfully. Kafka told her to meet him there the next day and they would come back to look for her. The next day, when they had not yet found the doll, Kafka gave the girl a letter "written" by the doll saying "please dont cry. I took a trip to see the world. I will write to you about my adventures." Thus began a story which continued until the end of Kafkas life. During their meetings, Kafka read the letters of the doll carefully written with adventures and conversations that the girl found adorable. Finally, Kafka brought back the doll (he bought one) that had returned to Berlin. "It doesnt look like my doll at all," said the girl. Kafka handed her another letter in which the doll wrote: "my travels have changed me." the little girl hugged the new doll and brought her happy home. A year later Kafka died. Many years later, the now-adult girl found a letter inside the doll. In the tiny letter signed by Kafka it was written: "Everything you love will probably be lost, but in the end, love will return in another way." #kafka #thedoll

14.01.2022 Sometimes it is good to just a take a break and have lunch with a good friend...

14.01.2022 Heres one for the "Trekkies". If you dont like Star Trek, you can console yourself with some delicious fish and chips for dinner from Hoopers. Because it is Friday. But you can get fish and chips from Hoopers on the other days too. I just like to do it on Fridays. And sometimes Mondays. One week I had it for lunch. It was nice, but I think I prefer fish and chips for dinner. Just now thought about a nice home-made fresh pie. A good pie I can eat anytime. Although, thinking about it, a good pie is spectacular for smoko. I wonder how many really nice freshly roasted dark bean organic coffees I have had today here at Hoopers... Happy Friday everyone!

13.01.2022 Loki is reminded that it is Friday again, and so also again time for fish and chips for dinner...

12.01.2022 Not many days 'til Christmas... Will have to start building up some enthusiasm. I am not allowed to have a 'Bah humbug' attitude any more. I must accept that Christmas carols always sound great. And I always enjoy shopping... Always. I think I will have a donut or two. That will cause the release of a big dose of dopamine. Dopamine is a "feel good" neurotransmitter. Yep - that will be my training this year. Think Christmas, then eat a nice hot donut. Repeat until j...ust thinking Christmas makes me feel good. Worked for Pavlov's dogs - so therefore is real science and sure to work. You're welcome. Tag a friend who needs help with Christmas cheer.

12.01.2022 I am laughing and crying at the same time. Anyway - fish and chips is a favourite dinner on Fridays nights. You can call ahead and order your delicious fish and chips on 49 821 320

11.01.2022 There is always time for a bad joke...

10.01.2022 Finally it paid off!

09.01.2022 Check out these puppy photos. Oh and remember that Friday means delicious fish and chips from Hoopers...

08.01.2022 Unless you have a use for your organs and tissues you have gone - please register as a donor (and tell your family you want to be a donor) - you have to do both. How cool a gift would it be to someone you probably dont even know now?

07.01.2022 Mmm. Time for lunch. I am thinking fresh made beef pie, coffee and a choc slice for dessert. Here is a silly thing to laugh at (unless you are a real "trekkie") - because smiling makes you relax, and it is important to relax before you eat...

07.01.2022 My life in short: When one door closes and another door opens, you are probably in prison. 2. To me, "drink responsibly" means don't spill it. 3. Age 50 might b...e the new 40, but 9:00 pm is the new midnight. 4. It's the start of a brand new day, and I'm off like a herd of turtles. 5. The older I get, the earlier it gets late. 6. When I say, "The other day," I could be referring to any time between yesterday and 15 years ago. 7. I remember being able to get up without making sound effects. 8. I had my patience tested. I'm negative. 9. Remember, if you lose a sock in the dryer, it comes back as a Tupperware lid that doesn't fit any of your containers. 10. If you're sitting in public and a stranger takes the seat next to you, just stare straight ahead and say, "Did you bring the money?" 11. When you ask me what I am doing today, and I say "nothing," it does not mean I am free. It means I am doing nothing. 12. I finally got eight hours of sleep. It took me three days, but whatever. 13. I run like the winded. 14. I hate when a couple argues in public, and I missed the beginning and don't know whose side I'm on. 15. When someone asks what I did over the weekend, I squint and ask, "Why, what did you hear?" 16. When you do squats, are your knees supposed to sound like a goat chewing on an aluminum can stuffed with celery? 17. I don't mean to interrupt people. I just randomly remember things and get really excited. 18. When I ask for directions, please don't use words like "east." 19. Don't bother walking a mile in my shoes. That would be boring. Spend 30 seconds in my head. That'll freak you right out. 20. Sometimes, someone unexpected comes into your life out of nowhere, makes your heart race, and changes you forever. We call those people cops. 21. My luck is like a bald guy who just won a comb :) See more

05.01.2022 At last, friday means fish and chips from Hoopers for dinner.

03.01.2022 Some good news for our Grade 12 students. It may turn out that the COVID mess could actually help you get into Uni. For all our students ending high school soon - just keep going! Not long to go - keep doing the work. It will end soon. And when it does, you want to be able to look back and say you gave it your very best shot. Just keep going, or even go a bit harder with your study. https://www.qut.edu.au/news?id=168292
