what's your problem

This “It’s Saturday” might be covefefe!  What is covefefe anyway?  I have no idea sooo I asked a few smartfolks.  Here are a couple of definitions I received.  Covefefe = either a typo, or a misheard and misunderstood word. Fake vocabulary! Covefefe: (1) A septuagenarian that gets all of his/her information and self-worth from reality television shows; and (2) the typo of a twitter troll.

MissPerfect, who thinks she’s a tardigrade, says—I really don’t care what others think!!! I think I know and that’s all that matters.  I have friends and acquaintances who are very liberal and very conservative (i.e. very radical).  It is hard to have a conversation with them about certain issues as they don’t hear a word another person says.  They think they are always right (i.e. sorta kinda like the differences of the Civil War).  I guess that is why there are wars to fight it out and see who wins; whoever is left alive wins!  It seems like these folks have a problem (i.e. but I might be wrong)!  What do you think?

MySmartNeighbor and I think we would maybe not hire folks who are radical (i.e. tooo high risk to have around—cause toooo many potential problems—cause headaches).  I said I heard that NFL teams profile draft picks—wouldn’t you if you are going to spend millions on a player and he is a radical.  He heard on Pan Patrick’s sports show that Kaepernick can’t find a job as franchises aren’t going to gamble millions on a radical (i.e. tooo big of risk). Soooo I had breakfast with a friend this week and he told me that he and I are considered radicals by many folks because we are Christians.  Soooo we decided that maybe some companies or individuals would not hire us because we are radicals. I never ever thought of that before.  Yabut maybe others would think of this as an asset and would want to hire us.  Such is life. 

GoodHeartedDoris, a self-proclaimed apple tree, says--Sometimes an antidote helps the situation but it might have side effects.  With some medical treatments, I have been told, that the side effects of medication or treatment are as bad as the disease itself. You might not want to read on; there might be side effects.  But if you know everything, it won’t bother you in any little way.  But remember folks, not all life experiences end like a Hallmark movie!  I’m not trying to wind you folks up. I’m really not. But some of you folks get wound up pretty easy.  Some folks seem to have a problem with getting opinionated real fast (i.e. hot under the collar if someone disagrees with them).

WorldClassLarry says—Subtle changes in our environment impact us dramatically; even if you don’t see it or understand it; they just do.  Unconsciously, we change and are affected in our life “ever after.” I read this in the book, Keeping Love Alive as Memories Fade—“Many times, what makes a person pull away from friendship is something counselors call transference.  Even though the Alzheimer’s is happening to someone else, they think, ‘What if this happens to me?’ and the pain of that thought pushes them away from the person with the disease.”

Many times, counselors say--What we have for experiences as a kid affect us throughout our entire life (i.e. programmed).  It’s a phenomenon by unconscious redirection of feelings and desires and especially of those retained from childhood toward a new situation or object. It also is defined “the inappropriate repetition in the present of a relationship that was important in a person’s childhood.” Example might be—You don’t like your neighbor because she reminds you of your mother. LuckyEddie says—Some folks can recognize them and deal with them and others can’t (i.e. can become demons). AverageJoe says--If you do what you've always done, you'll get what you've always gotten.

Arlene and I went for a little road trip and went by The Little Brown Church in the Vale sooooo we stopped.  It has some childhood memories to me.  You see, I was a member of the Roseland Rosebuds 4-H club.  I think we met every month.  We started our meetings singing some songs.  One song that we sang a lot was The Little Brown Church in the Vale.  Crazy.  Something else that I remember is, I did a demonstration at one of those meetings; I demonstrated how to put a male end on an electrical cord. Crazy.  I do think our experiences as a youth affect use for the rest of our lives.  What do you think? Oh ya, my big sister (i.e. only in age) a.k.a MyrtTheGiftGiver took her demonstration to the MN State Fair; it was how to make chicken chow mein.  We ate a lot of chicken chow mein that summer!!!! Chicken chow mein has affected my for the rest of my life!!!! 

Professor Bruce
What is your problem erv?  My problem is I think I smell like a big chicken barn! Good thing I was in the barn on Friday as the next day was “bathday” Saturday!   Our friend Bruce showed Ron and I his son-in-law’s chicken operation. I'm share this with his permission. 2 buildings 49,000 in each building as chicks, 42 days to 5.5 pounds, each chick cost 50 cents, 5% death loss, chicks come in all less than 24 hours old to a building that is 90 degrees, 12 workers work all night; load all by hand on 8 trucks, chicks will not go out of a 15-foot radius in their life, are none antibiotic, cost about $6.29 a pound on the counter.

Have you ever said—This is not good; they got me!  I buy nuts at Walgreens when they are on sale.  Soooo the other day I bought some and was paying for them.  I had a coupon for 5X reward points—the clerk said it was expired soooo I gave him another for 10% off—he said that doesn’t apply to sale items.  I just laughed and said—you got me.  The clerk laughed toooo.  I don’t have an Amazon Prime account soooo of course I didn’t buy anything on Prime Day.  I read that is a huge selling technique for Amazon and hard on other retailers.  Is it a gimmick or is it a really good thing?  When things are on sale a lot of folks buy stuff they don’t need or want; then they throw in free shipping, how can a person go wrong!  SusieQ says—erv, don’t kid yourself, Amazon knows what they are doing; they got a lot of my money; money that I don’t have! SusieQ, now that is a problem.  

Dearest Dad, I am coming home to get married soon, so get your check book out.  I'm in love with a boy who is far away from me. As you know, I am in Australia ... and he lives in Scotland. We met on a dating website, became friends on Facebook , had long chats on Whatsapp.  He proposed to me on Skype, and now we've had two months of a relationship through Viber. My beloved and favorite Dad, I need your blessing, good wishes, and a really big wedding. Lots of love and thanks. Your favorite daughter, Lilly THE RESPONSE My Dear Lilly, Like Wow! Really? Cool!

I played pickleball for the first time since I tore my hamstring. It has been 9 weeks.  I’m about 90%.  I find it interesting that my abdominal muscles and a muscle in my lower back area feel sorry for my hamstring and have shown kindness to my injured hamstring (i.e. were sympathetic). They actually hurt some.  That is crazy!  A pickle ball buddy told me that when he tore his hamstring, he had the same experience.  ANYWAY, Saturday question—Are you a kind person?  When I was eating my oatmeal with a half a banana on it, I read what RickyRick said--Kindness always begins with the eyes — the way you observe the world and are sensitive to the needs of other people. You’ve got to become more observant of the needs around you. Hurry is the death of kindness. If you’re going to learn to be a kinder person, you’ve got to slow down! When you’re always distracted with other things, you don’t have time to be kind.

TomTerrific says—The number of smokers seems to be way down; it seems folks realize that it’s not good for them and expensive.  ItchieBitchie says—It appears society shamed some folks into quitting smoking.  Do you think the numbers will change on obesity? Obesity is a problem folks; don’t kid yourself.  It is not good for any of us.  Face the issue.  Obesity is a huge massive disadvantage for everyone (i.e. health reasons, social reasons, business reasons, activity reasons, and the rest of the reasons).  The warning signs are all over the place but Americans don't seem to react to them very well.  Why is that do you think?  My Yamaha XT 250 has a 2.17-gallon gas tank.  The low fuel warning light come on when there is .48 gallons left.  Now that warning is well in advance.  Especially since my respite bike gets about 70 miles to a gallon.  That sorta kinda makes me laugh.  Hey folks, I live a simple life.  Yabut if I don’t head the warning, what good is the warning light? Such is life.

CousinWarrenfromOmaha sent me this story—erv, I have a real life story for you; I was in a park the other day and noticed a small girl twirling one of those popular new "fidget gyro spinners".  After watching her for a bit, I was intrigued with the gadget, and asked her "Where can I buy one of those gadgets  ??"   She replied " I think they sell them in China".  

Last Saturday morning, I went and had an early breakfast while reading the paper (i.e. I really enjoy doing this).  Then I rode on the Cedar Bike Trails.  Saturday mornings, the folks are differed than the week-day mornings (i.e. for a lot of reasons).  I followed a family for about 10 miles.  The parents were in their 30s and their two kids were maybe 12 and 10.  They rode 12-14 mph.  They stopped at a fork in the trail.  I stopped beside them and told them how great it was to see them riding together and teaching your children the value of being outside and exercise.  They thanked me.  I told the kids that they were really fortunate to have such parents; the kids didn’t look soooooo excited!!!! They looked at me like saying—What’s your problem?

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