windy with gusts

Disclaimer--What's this worth to you?  Maybe nutten so maybe you don't want to waste your time reading this "I't's Saturday" (i.e. to you it might just be wind with gusts) but then again, maybe, just maybe you might learn somethin'!  A guy just never knows now does he!  Such is life.

I'm a selfish and self-centered creature a.k.a windy with gusts !  Yes I am.  Some times I act like SlickTheBallHog. I want things my way and when I want them.  I have learned in life that I'm not in control of much and not near as important as I think I am (i.e. I think this is a small step in the right direction).  But then again I will have a hiccup!  Sooooo folks, do you know your forecast?  Can people improve their character by reason?  Joesixpack says--one of the primary laws of human life is that you become like what you worship; what's more, you reflect what you worship not only back to the object itself but also outward to the world around. Think about that you wise folks!  LuckieEddie says--Do something you always will remember!  What will you remember about your life? 

A family friend is getting married (i.e. he was a long holdout but at 37 is biting the bullet).  We like him a lot and have now met his wife to be.  We like her a lot too.  It appears to be a good match.  Arlene has a "bridge club" that they have met for maybe 30+ years.  They are the same ladies.  One has died  a couple of years ago so there are now seven.  The oldest is 74.  Arlene and I are the shortest married of the group being 42 years.  But we weren't always old you know!  ANYWAY these couples have bridal showers for each of the children when they get married.  This week we had a shower for JerBear and his wife to be Clarie.  We usually eat and play some games (i.e. basically just have some fun and get to know the friend's new spouse to be).  We played some games to find out about what we and they think about issues of how they see marriage.  It's sorta kinda fun.  All folks have different opinions about a lot of stuff (i.e. we are all programed differently by our past--the wind blows from different directions with gusts). We are who we are and that's just the way it is--AverageJoe says--Children observe their surroundings - the words and intonation used, the values and beliefs shared.  MissPerfect says--It's nearly impossible to change a person if they think a certain way.  You think you are going to change them but it just ain't going to work.  ~  I received this as part of my morning devotions Friday--This isn't applying in any form to JerBear and Clarie but is sorta kind timely when we think about marriage--Sooooooo read it as a general statement but if the shoe fits...some of you might say--I wish I would have thought about that earlier in my life.--I noticed something while watching a movie involving psychiatrists with patients.  It's generally not a good idea to become romantically involved with a mentally deranged person if you are their psychiatrist. Not only does that violate the code of ethics, but it's just not wise. Come to think of it, psychiatrist or not, you might want to really rethink it if you are on the verge of getting involved with someone and you suspect that their cheese has slid off the cracker. For someone, this issue is just what the doctor ordered. ~A MountainWings Original~Thank you for inviting MountainWings into your mailbox.  http://www.mountainwings.com/past/11154.htm

I know some folks that are windy with gusts!  Oh ya!  I don't believe half of what they say and the other half isn't true.  What they say means nutten!  Some folks who talk a lot and some times loudly are like wind with gusts.  They really aren't sayin' much and are a pain in the butt! 

Memorial Day in IA was very windy with gusts!  Not my kind of day.  I don't like wind.  If you do anything, wind is just sooooooo irritating.  PeggySue says--wind reminds me of my husband!.  Ouchy ouchy!  Tuesday is our men's league night.  It was windy again.  I hate wind even more when I play golf.  It just takes a lot of the fun out of it for me.  I know you folks at Rolling Hills Country Club think I'm just complaining 'cause it's just a typical day on the course for you guys.  Someone told me that most of the artificial flowers at the cemetery were blown against the fence (i.e. it was windy with gusts folks)!  You could just go to the fence and pick out the ones you like (i.e. better yourself if you wanted too).

I want your help if you will give it to me.  I have the opportunity to do a little talk about encouragement a.k.a. the greatest "shotinthearm".  I want some impute from you.  Tell me whatever about encouragement--examples, stories, what's best, anything and everything.  Will you do that?  I will be sitting by my computer just waiting for your reply and watching the wind with gusts! 

My mentor said while we were eating our weekly breakfast--I'm probably just a old cynical guy but it seems like our national debt is bad but not as bad as the mentality of our country.  Soooo what do you mean guy?  I mean that most folks want  the government to give them stuff and don't get after it.  We have lost our pride and are becoming socialistic (i.e. maybe that's a lot of wind with gusts).  GerogeTheCrook says--Give me give me give me and I don't want to do any work or have any responsibility or have any risk--I deserve it and don't your forget it!  SusieQ says--I like it when I can sit on the couch and eat chips all day and the government just gives me stuff.  It's a good life.  I think we should increase programs that give me more stuff (I'll vote for that candidate).  Sooooooo what is wrong with that.  It works for me and the rest of my family.  We have learned to do just fine.  We would like a 3-D TV to replace our digital big screen.  SusieQ, that sounds like a lot of wind with gusts!  I thought of my Dad, Chester.  His mother died when he was maybe 13.  He had to live with another family who took him in.  He had to work for room and board.  He had absolutely no money.  Eventually he grew up and bought a poor 80 acres for the taxes.  Paid it off, sold it and then bought 160 acres that I was raised on.  I remember the day he paid it off. He bought 4-row equipment--Chester said--Now we have it made erv; we'll do a lot of fishing now.  He got sick and died a couple of years later at age 56.  Sooooooo I never heard my Mom or Dad complain.  They made it work.  They were never given anything.  They just worked hard and did it.  They never were rich $$$$$ wise but were successful folks (i.e. my opinion).  They didn't inherited any money and never got anything free.  They had enough money to last them the rest of their life, unless they bought something.

I hope I'm a good friend and have been a good friend to my best friend (i.e. a good friend is like pure cane sugar from Hawaii).  Soooooo how do I know?  Just 'cause I think I am doesn't necessarily mean I am (i.e. I might be windy with gusts).  There are folks who think a lot of things but their thinking is hog wash (i.e. my opinion).  Sooooooo being a good friend might be different to different folks. Saturday question--Are you a good friend to your best friend or not?  Think about that folks.  Who is your best friend anyway?  DanFool says--Some folks are like a Odyssey White Ice 2-Ball Long Putter; they look good, cost a lot but don't seem to make much difference in their owner's game.  Huh, interesting. 

I found this wind with gusts interesting--Map of Religions  in 90 seconds. Especially sense our recent trip to Israel.    http://www.mapsofwar.com/images/Religion.swf

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