Well scubbe dobe do! MissPerfect says—Mean people are not
happier, or necessarily more successful…Kindness is more than deeds. It is an
attitude, an expression, a look, a touch. It is anything that lifts another
person…Plant seeds of kindness. Do something nice every day. Kindness pays most
when you don’t do it for payback. Does this make any sense to any of you?
We’ll see what you decide to do with your life. GeorgeTheCrook says—Most folks
think most about themselves and how it affects their wallet! Ouchy ouchy! I don’t know GeorgeTheCrook, I
know some pretty good folks who are very kind and have servant attitudes. Very good folks with good hearts; my kind of
folks. Crazy huh!
ItchieBitchie says--A
person has to have a strong resolve to stay at a certain level of achievement. In golf, it doesn’t matter how you played
yesterday but how you play today. Many
players play well but the next day they can’t play at the level they have. Some folks are soooo strong (i.e. can even be
cocky) and then all of a sudden, they seem to get in their own way (i.e. their
minds end up in the gorse at Royal Troon).
Is that called pride before the fall?
A friend asked me at breakfast recently how my golf game was—I said I
have played well this summer. That same afternoon I went and played 9 (i.e.
Arlene rode along—beautiful summer day). I didn’t play as well. Arlene
said—That wasn’t very good!!!! I hate
that when Arlene is soooo truthful to me. Ouchy ouchy! We’ll see where my game
goes from here. Such is life.
A friend told me this story about
his golf buddy—MyBuddy loved to golf and was a good player. Occasionally he
would play with his wife…they were members at a nice country club. One round
they were playing together and MyBuddy birdied the first hole…his wife didn’t
say anything about it but just normal conversation or paying attention to her
own game. Then he birdied number 2. Same thing. Not a word. He proceeds to
finish the front nine at -3…his personal best to that date. Still nothing!! He
couldn’t figure it out. They get to the back nine and he’s not playing quite as
well but keeping it together and has it -2 with just a couple of holes left in
the round. FINALLY, he can’t take it anymore and he turns to his wife and
says….geez don’t you realize how well I’m playing. She deadpans and turns to
him… “Honey, no one needs to tell you how good you’re playing. You’ve got that
one figured out all by yourself.” With the implication being of course I know
how well you’re playing but why do you need my affirmation and approval…or quit
acting like a little kid! Put him in his place pretty quick!
LandlordClarence
said to the tenant of his farm—I feel sorry for the rabbits—why is that the
tenant asked—you plant corn sooo thick that if a rabbit wants to change rows,
he has to go to the end of the field. I had a beer with one of my golf buddies
after our match last Friday. He reminded
me that after a guy plays fairly well for some time, you try to do even better and
that’s when the game becomes a struggle.
Ya got to start over and built it back up again (i.e. it happens a lot).
It’s a humbling experience alright. Soooo don’t be surprised when it happens.
MyGolfBuddy told me that he use to get mad but has pretty much controlled it
know. Huh, interesting. I was running the other morning and a guy was trimming
his hedge. I stopped and talked a
little—Your trim job looks good—ya, it’s work that I don’t like to do but I
like the hedge; ya got to take the good with the bad! Bingo!
Bernie Bernie
Bernie! A few weeks ago Hillary was HillaryTheEvil to Bernie but now Bernie crawls
in bed with her and Hillary is now QueenHillary! And Donald, I wonder if the
Republicans and the Democrats alike are worried he might screw up the “good old boy
group.” He is scary folks (i.e. he makes a lot of folks feel like they have to
go to the bathroom). C’on, how can Senators end up with many millions of net
worth on their salary. Something smells fishy
to me. What do you think? It appears to me that just maybe Bernie is right—it’s
fixed (i.e. maybe he’s just mad ‘cause they haven’t helped him make millions). I wonder if they care about the JoeAverages
of the world. Maybe, just maybe, it has
nutten to do with what is best for America. Maybe just maybe politics have
nutten to do with the masses but just about how the elite can make money. I don’t know, what do you think? We’ll see!
Many times it’s about the money folks. Some things seem like they never change,
just maybe.
I was curious how much it cost to paint the
water tower. Soooo I went to city hall
and asked. The price is part of the
total bid and then subbed out. Sooooo I
go up to the water tower and talked to one of the owners. He talked my leg off. He told me that they did it for $80,000. They do 12 a year in the upper Midwest. They have a reputation soooo they can pick
and choose (i.e. usually about location and who the general contractor
is). They also do some work for the
mines in northern MI where they all live.
Work 8 months except for occasions in the winter for the mines. He said—The guys like some time off to hunt
deer, snowmobile and ice fish. You are
gone from home a lot when working—ya, my wife tells folks that we have been
married for 34 years but it's really only 17!
NiftyNel says--It’s brown
but tastes yellow! ItchieBitchie says—Things aren’t always as they look
folks. I stopped for a sausage-egg
mcmuffin and a senior coffee after riding bike the other Saturday morning. I read the Des Moines Register and did Sudoku
(i.e. I really enjoy this). There was a
group of seniors sitting at a table about 10 feet from me. During my stay,
there must have been 15 different folks join and leave this group. They had a grand time. If you would listen to
them you might think they didn’t like each other as they were gruff, direct,
poked fun of each other etc. They truly
liked each other and very supportive of each other (i.e. it was very obvious
when someone left the group). They had a
blast. I think this comradery is sooooo
good for folks. I did hear one lady who
was always negative about everything. I wondered why she was this way. One lady asked Fred if he eats an apple pie
ever day with nothing to drink—yes I do—don’t you get sick of it—no no, I like
it. They made me smile and feel good. There are sooooo many good folks out
there and they aren’t always the fancy folks—they are good average folks with
good hearts. I was reminded once again that many of you folks are such good
folks. Keep it up! And don’t try to act soooo important and act like you are
better than others. Be humble and do
good stuff. That is my suggestion to you.
If you don’t agree, I understand. It’s is soooo hard to be humble. Such
is life.
I read this while eating my oatmeal with half a banana on it--Paul (i.e. anyone can be a Paul) says—Quit praying about
yourself and spend your life for the sake of others as the bondservant of
Jesus. That is the true meaning of being
broken bread and poured-out wine in real life. The Paul who said this was the Paul that was beheaded by
I read in the paper soooo it must be right—Corrupt
government will create a corrupt people, and a corrupt people will perpetuate a
corrupt government. We’ll see! SusieQ
says—It seems like a lot of folks have drunk/are drinking the Kool-Aid. It’s called good old “corrupt magic.” Bernie
Sanders’ supporters are maybe right when they loudly proclaim that the system
is rigged (i.e. by the ruling elite).
Have a FUN day my friends unless you have other plans. (-:
