Disclaimer ~ Despite inflation, a penny is still a fair price for my thoughts. And you get this "It's Saturday" free sooooo don't expect much (i.e. you get what you pay for). And as far as I know, I'm absolutely not sure if any of this is correct. Sooooo there! Soooooo don't take any of this tooooo serious. Such is life.
It really was a good time. Last Saturday Arlene and I spent the afternoon and evening with Dean and Pat Slagter who winter in Casa Grade (i.e. great long time friends with huge massive good hearts--my kind of folks). They were childhood friends from Roseland, MN. We played pickle ball for about three hours, went out for dinner, and then to the movie War Horse. ANYWAY Pat told us she went on a bus trip with 32 other ladies to IA, MO, AR, and KY I think for 10 days last summer. It was sorta kinda a quilting trip for quilters. Sooooo how much do you think they spend on quilting stuff on those 10 days (i.e. a total of all 33 gals)? Make a guess. Answer later.
It was like the movies! It really was. Arlene and I hiked late Tuesday afternoon and stopped at Frey's Grocery Store a few minutes to pick up a few groceries. We drove over to Frey's gas station maybe 75 yards from where we parked to get some gas when we were done. All of a sudden there was rapid shooting -- maybe 15 to 20 shoots with an rapid firing assault weapon and pistols. It was the police shooting someone very close to were we just were parked. People were diving on the ground and ducking in their cars. Ouchy ouchy! It said in the paper the next day that it was a drug bust and 5 suspects came out firing. One was killed and two wounded (i.e. they don't say how bad) and one officer was shot in the leg. Really!
LuckyEddie says--By the time we get old enough to not care what anyone says about us, nobody is saying anything about us anyway. Really! Holy macaroni! Yep, society doesn't pay much attention to the wisdom of the seniors except they sure do like our money! Asmartyoungman told me--Money talks loud; it yells! It' all about the money folks...in everything it seems! Joesixpack says--Beware of those who tell you how smart you are, how pretty you are, or how good you are. They're likely to lie about other things as well. Really! Maybe they have drunk tooooo much kool aid or more likely, they want something and that something usually is your money folks. Really? Yes, really! Yep, they do what they do! Really!
MissPerfect, you might misunderstand me. Lord knows it won't be the first time! But I will try to make it "perfectly clear"! When we got to our condo, the previous users or owners supplied the bathrooms with one ply toilet paper. We are 2 ply toilet paper users. I tell you what, I made sure I washed my hands very well! It was a juicy and stinky jolt let me tell ya. Don't act beyond stunned MissPerfect. No matter how important you think you are, how pretty you are, how pretty you have your nails painted, or how rich you are, you have to whip you butt toooo. Sooo don't act soooo naive and surprised. I know you whip your butt! I recently had the opportunity to play golf with a gal who was in our foursome. She wore stylish white FootJoy golf shoes with a little blue trim; had matching FootJoy blue socks; a relatively tight blue golf capris with sparkles on her butt; a Nike white golf belt with a silver buckle; a little tee under a white golf sweater that have those blue triangles on it; a very nice, expensive gold chock necklace; and a golf sun visor that had a lot of bling on it. She looked very nice and she was a nice gal. We were walking down the 14th fairway to our drives. We came to her ball and she took out her 3-metal with a pink shaft to match her pink bag to hit her Lady's Precept pink ball. She took her stance, took a swing and as she hit the ball, she farted. Really! Hey, she's human. I told a hiking buddy about this and he said--My wife farts all the time! Arlene is not a farter.
Really! AverageJoe said--My boss phoned me today. He said, "Is everything okay at the office?" I said, "Yes, it's all under control. It's been a very busy day, I Haven't stopped." "Can you do me a favor?" he asked. I said, "Of course, what is it?" Speed it up a little, I'm in the foursome behind you." Really!
I was waiting my turn to play pickle ball the other morning. Three of us were talking and one said--It was rather cool last night. The other guy said--My furnace didn't kick in--soooo what do you have your thermostat set at--54 degrees--well no wonder it didn't kick in; doesn't your wife get cold--ya, I had to buy her a half electric blanket! Really! Arlene would freeze to death. Yabut I have a golf buddy who says his wife is always hot! She turns the heat down all the time. Arlene would say--Burzzzy burzzzzy! I'm turning the heat up. CadillacJack was telling his friend, BenTheBeerHog, that he and his wife had a serious argument the night before about how warm they should keep their house. Really a whopper! "But it ended," he said, "when she came crawling to me on her hands and knees." Really! "What did she say?" asked the friend. He replied, "She said, 'Come out from under that bed, you coward!'" Really! Arguments, disagreements, or fights are not much fun unless you like agitation, discourse, friction (i.e. some folks seem to always seem to like that). Then there are others that will do anything not to have any trouble what so ever. I have friends who are both ways. Most don't like trouble though. Really! Saturday question--Repentance does not just mean to feel sorry for what you have done or to express remorse. Biblical repentance means to turn and to change. It means to turn your life around, turning away from sin and back toward God. It means to change your mind about God and yourself, and to change direction, to set your back to things like dishonesty, injustice, or cruelty, and to set your face toward God and the good. Really! Haveyou/doyou ever repent? Really! Repentance can be a real renaissance! Now that is sorta kinda bucking the trend! SusieQ says--Keep the powder dry in your life. Live the life! Really!
You ever go to a funeral and the eulogy is given and you wonder if you are at the funeral for the right guy? Ya, folks can put a spin on things anyway they want to make a person look. Judy Wallman, a professional genealogy researcher in southern California , was doing some personal work on her own family tree.. She discovered that Senator Harry Reid's great-great uncle, Remus Reid, was hanged for horse stealing and train robbery in Montana in 1889. Both Judy and Harry Reid share this common ancestor. The only known photograph of Remus shows him standing on the gallows in Montana territory. On the back of the picture Judy obtained during her research is this inscription: 'Remus Reid, horse thief, sent to Montana Territorial Prison 1885, escaped 1887, robbed the Montana Flyer six times. Caught by Pinkerton detectives, convicted and hanged in 1889.' So Judy recently e-mailed Senator Harry Reid for information about their great-great uncle. Harry Reid: Believe it or not, Harry Reid's staff sent back the following biographical sketch for her genealogy research: "Remus Reid was a famous cowboy in the Montana Territory . His business empire grew to include acquisition of valuable equestrian assets and intimate dealings with the Montana railroad. Beginning in 1883, he devoted several years of his life to government service, finally taking leave to resume his dealings with the railroad. In 1887, he was a key player in a vital investigation run by the renowned Pinkerton Detective Agency. In 1889, Remus passed away during an important civic function held in his honor when the platform upon which he was standing collapsed." NOW THAT's how it's done, Folks! That's real POLITICAL SPIN !!!
ItchieBitchie says--Quite your sulking and focus on tomorrow Throw those chips away and get your butt off the couch (i.e. do it fast and furious). That sitting around complaining just hog-ties a person and makes a guy feel pucky! JoeThePlumber says--Quite dilly-dallying around (i.e. procrastinating). All that gets you is under water. Really! Making a huge massive blunder will cause havoc to your life. Sooooooo don't make a huge massive blunder SlowFlow! I read in the paper, sooooo it must be right, that the average credit-card debt is $6,503, average mortgage debt $175,070, and average-loan debt $15,370. JoeSnort says--Ah-choooooo! Ya, that can make a guy sneeze alright. Really! My Daddy, Chester, taught me--Interest is something you receive, not what you pay out. You only borrow money on stuff that appreciates, never for anything that depreciates (i.e. you have to pay cash for that stuff--if you don't have cash you don't buy it). Sooooo here's an opportunity for some of you to get some cash in your pocket. I read in the paper soooooo it must be right, that when some older folks a.k.a snowbirds die, they have a lot of gold in their teeth. Sooooo if your parents have gold in their mouth, maybe you better talk to the undertaker and tell him remove the gold with a pliers and give it to ya. Really! A senior friend says--I give my adult kids suggestions. They listen but don't do what I suggest!!!!! Such is life.
Answer is about $22,000! Really! That's a crazy figure to me a golfer to spend on quilting stuff!!!!! That's about $660 a gal. That's just plain crazy to a golfer!!!! But you know what, it makes Pat happy. And a happy wife is a happy life! And don't you forget that Deano! It's only money!
Have a FUN day my friends unless you have other plans. (-:

Need a boost? Really! Here is the "Magic Pill" folks! It's really something to think about. Maybe you should get on board! This is a bang bang little video (i.e. digital) from BigPete. http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/story/2012/01/11/toronto-viral-video-doctor-health.html
