Ooof!

If you understand anything in this “It’s Saturday” then you will understand that unicorns fart rainbows!  TerriTheTear says—Oh baby!

A friend told me that many times they don’t understand what I’m saying in “It’s Saturday.”  LuckieEddie asks—erv, you are kidding me, aren’t you; no LuckieEddie, I’m perfectly clear!!!  ha ha! Why do you think that is?  Hey folks, many times it’s ok not to be understood (i.e. keep folks wondering).  Sometimes when you are totally “black and white”, it gets a person in trouble.  Yikes! 

There was this article in the paper about a firefighter who said some stuff in social media.  He got in a mess and will suffer some effects from it.  Personally, if I was some of you, I would be very careful what you say in social media; it might really affect your life, your job, and your family.  It seems better to say nutten.  Nutten is not misunderstood.  Recently the NFL had their draft.  It doesn’t matter how good players think they are. What matters is how good the NFL thinks they are.  That can apply to social media as well about your thinking, comments, believes, radical ideas, strong opinions etc. You must remember that I’m just an old coot from a mile and fourth south of Roseland, MN.  Take that into consideration. 21YearOldGoofySam says--Gee whiz erv, I really don’t understand what you are saying erv! Tehee!

Oofta! I had some family tell me that they don’t understand some of my text messages.  That doesn’t really surprise me.  I don’t understand some of them either!  BUT it’s important that I’m clearer to them sometimes when it’s important.  I will try to do that.  I really am appreciative that they told me that.  I am.  BUT they won’t talk on the phone sooo…! Do you, the person who told me this, understand what I’m saying? ha ha! I think some text messages can be hard to understand; maybe it’s just me.  Now that could be. Woohoo!

It might be a Big Illusion!  ItchieBitchie says--Don’t buy stuff to reap admiration. If you want admiration, DO SOMETHING THAT IS NOBLE OR HARD TO DO. Any yutz with a credit card can create the illusion of wealth. An opportunity just fell into my lap. I was suppose tooooo have breakfast with a friend who didn’t show. An old business account/friend asked me to join him (i.e. happenstance, na, I don’t think soooo).  He shared some of his life with me.  This guy is truly a great guy (i.e. has my admiration). I would guess very few folks know what he has been through and how he has/is helping others.  It appears that is the way he wants it. Holy Molly!  He wasn’t bragging to me; I guess I was just the right person for him to share some stuff with (i.e. he was extremely personal). Well woof woof!

A guy was taking a smoke break with one of his non-smoking colleagues. “How long have you been smoking for?” the colleague asks. “Thirty years,” says the smoker.

“Thirty years!” marvels the co-worker. “That costs so much money. At a pack a day, you’re spending $1,900 a year. Had you instead invested that money at an 8% return for the last 30 years, you’d have $250,000 in the bank today. That’s enough to buy a Ferrari!” The smoker looked puzzled. “Do you smoke?” he asked his co-worker. “No.” “So where is your Ferrari?” 

Why do kids like to play in the mud?  Richy says--“If you wrestle in the mud with a pig, both of you will get dirty, but only one of you will enjoy it.” Stay out of the mud. Don’t get sucked into the argument. Just walk on by. Folks who love to argue find their meaning, their purpose, and their value by getting you upset. Don’t play their game. Don’t get drawn into it. They’re not looking for answers. They’re just looking for an argument.  How many people does it take to argue? It takes two, right? If one of them walks away, what happens to the argument? It ends. The fire goes out. Sometimes the most merciful thing you can do is walk away from the argument. MissPerfect asks—Is that wisdom? D’awww!

Well bless my soul! Elvis sang a song called “I’m all shook up.”  The first line goes like this—A well’a bless my soul…I’m all shook up…Mm mm mm, mm, yay, yay, yay I’m all shock up. I realize that some of you think I’m all shock up.  And you could be right.  Especially those of you who don’t understand me.  Such is life.

I’m sure that some of you won’t understand this.  That is ok.  But maybe it will make you think.  Maybe.  I suggest that you ask the Holy Spirit to give you new ideas to think about. Pray this: “Dear Holy Spirit, I give you permission to give me thoughts anytime you want. I’m wide open, and I will accept them. I have an open mind to you.” AverageJoe says—Of course you have to have an open mind; some of you don’t understand what that is.  ha ha

A friend, MushroomHowie, took me mushroom hunting.  I had to wait until 1:30 as he wanted to take a nap (i.e. he’s retired and can do what he wants folks).  We didn’t have much luck. We took it on the chin!  ANYWAY, I asked my friend if he still gets up like 5:30 in the morning—this morning it was 4—You can get a lot done in a day when you get up that early—if you want tooooo! Aawww!

Well smackeroo!  I was signing in at the rec center to play pickleball when Dale, a long-time friend, was signing in too. He wrote with his left hand.  I said—What’s the deal Dale, you play pickleball and golf right handed but write left handed.  I’m ambidextrous!  The young gale womaning (i.e. can’t say manning) the desk said she was too.  EitherHandWorksDale asked her if she ever made knots when tying her shoe laces.  She did.  I guess the hands get confused.  Ofta! I can’t understand that! 

Some things are easier said than done.  Some folks say a lot of things but…are they right or just think they are! You understand that?  CrazyMarvin says—It’s hard to understand folks that I don’t understand.  CrazyMarvin, that is crazy!  Yabut, maybe it’s your lack of understanding that causes the misunderstanding.  Could be folks. Could be. It is easier to blame the other person but maybe you are to blame (i.e. lack of understanding).  Maybe you are the problem.  Ouchy ouchy!  It’s really easy to think we are always right.  Isn’t it?! MissPerfect says--Who me! Are you kidding me, I’m always right!  Crazy! Just crazy! Saturday question—Do you think you are always right? GerogeTheCrook says—Crazy! “Fire at will” at me for not understanding folks.  I understand.  I really do.  Such is life. 

Oooft!  My late mentor’s name was Ivan.  His daughter sent me his IVANISMS.  Here are a few from the General Advice section—Driving past a hog house: If you have to fart, now is the time; Shitheads are a dime a dozen; Don’t let the bastards get you down; He doesn’t understand everything he knows; Folks spend money they don’t have on things they don’t need to impress people they don’t like. He was a special, unique friend; I miss him. Yes, I do,

Have a FUN day my friends unless you have other plans. (-:

MyFriendJean says—There is nothing wrong with the younger generation that the older generation didn’t outgrow.

P.S. You cannot have a positive life and a negative mind. LuckieEddie says--I understand that; I don’t have a problem with that. I understand that; well, I think I understant that anyway!

"If you will live like no one else, later you can live like no one else." - Dave Ramsey Soooo how do you understand what Davie is saying? I guess you will understand it the way you want.  It could be understood different ways by different folks for different reasons. Such is life.
