Chances R

This “It’s Saturday” is not malware. At least I don’t think it is.  At least it’s not the way I see it but I have been wrong before. If you think it’s malware, well, suck it up cupcake, It’s happening sweetheart!

OneSmartGuy/a friend and I were talking recently that we wonder if we are right about a lot of stuff.  We each think we are right but that doesn’t make us right just because we think sooooo (i.e. they use to think the world was flat).  Crazy! That might pertain to politics, sports, religion, money management, parenting, etc.  You got it.  Just because we think we are right doesn’t mean we are right (e.g. maybe the Democrats are right in their wild spending and maybe Republicans are right in their non-spending mentality).  I had a friend who just passed. He questioned most everything.  It seemed he had a hard time accepting certain religious dogmatic believes.  He really seemed to struggle with accepting things (i.e. or maybe he just liked to argue). I sorta kinda felt sorry for him to have to struggle all the time. Guess what folks, all of his questions are answered now.  No more questions. Bingo!  As a friend says-- When the gonger gongs, the truth will be known real fast. 

My golf buddies last week told me it’s going to be a hard, long winter by looking at the strips on this caterpillar that downthemiddleron found on the golf course.  I have no idea if they know what they are talking about but they think they do. Such is life.  Crazy. I told my golf buddies that I hurt my back that morning and didn’t know how well I would play.  They asked how I did that—I was getting off the stool!  I’m a whip folks! Guess what—my score was about the same. Crazy!

I have said this before—You guys can treat me really bad or do things that I don’t think are right but I will always be your friend.  You can’t hurt me bad enough to stop our friendship.  I do some crazy, dumb things and I hope you accept me in spite of my imperfections.  Hey, none of us are perfect; we need to still accept each other and love each other in spite of our dumb stuff we do.  That is my opinion folks but I might be wrong.  I’m just a little old farm boy from a mile and a fourth south of Roseland, MN.  I really love a certain person but we don’t seem to agree on an issue.  I told him I will always love this person even if we don’t agree.  Does that make any sense to you? CrazyMarvin says—Some things are hard to suss! There might be brief heuristics that sometimes make a complicated things easier to understand. Such is life.

Changes R we all have to make a lot of decisions in life (i.e. life seems to be a jumble package).  We seem to make good decisions and bad decisions (i.e. a lot of wheeling and dealing in our minds).  Hopefully we make more good decisions than bad decision.  At the time we make them, we really always don’t know now do we.  MissPerfect says—No doubt that decisions affect our lives; we have to work through a few kinks. Those decisions you make might affect you and your children.  OneSmartPerson told me--(kids will pretty much believe whatever you tell them as all the statistics show a child’s politics and religious beliefs are heavily – well over 90% -- influenced by where they were born). What do you think?  Then just when we get our lives all spit polished (i.e. we think we have it all figured out), then we get our lives scoffed again (i.e. we didn’t see it coming). SusieQ says—You might want to turn off the media and think for yourself.  

ItchieBitche says--Chances R that we have all been little folks sometime in our lives.  I reread recently that we are to weep with those that weep and rejoice with those that rejoice.  Human nature seems to make it easier to weep with those that weep than to rejoice with those who rejoice (i.e. being happy for those who have good things happen to them). My mentor would say to me, I think facetiously,—erv, when something bad happens to you, half the folks don’t care and the other half are glad it happened to you!  PamperedBetty a.k.a. the modern day Queen of Sheba says--Chances R that most folks would attempt to blow out the candle of someone else in hopes of making their light brighter.  Saturday question—Are you a little person or a big person or some of each? I read this while eating my oatmeal with a half a banana on it—Oswald Chambers says—After every time of exaltation, we are brought down with a sudden rush into things as they really are, where it is neither beautiful, poetic, nor thrilling.  The height of the mountaintop measured by dismal drudgery of the valley, but it is in the valley that we have to live for the glory of God. LuckieEddie says—My sister-in-law is not died but just severely injured!

I was in a group of folks when a person made a statement that he said was correct.  He heard it from a third party source.  Another person in this group sorta kinda corrected him, in a nice way, by saying you better really research that before passing that on.  WorldClassLarry says—Most third party information is actually 1/00, otherwise known as zero chance being correct.  AttorneyBill says--The eye witnesses many times are not right (i.e. even if they say—I swear to tell the truth, the whole truth soooo help me God).  But DNA and cameras are much more accurate (i.e. no human thinking involved).  As one smart person says—We are soooo influenced (i.e. prejudiced) by our past that we can’t be open minded).  Sooooo, it proves once again that littleoldervie doesn’t always know much even when he thinks he does.  I have been programed to some degree by many forces. Some that I don’t even know about.  Such is life.

OneSmartGolfBuddy told me on the first tee—All folks seem to mature.  Some faster and to different degrees but it appears that we all mature (i.e. obviously we do physically but we are talking mentally here folks).  When we mature, it seems like we think different. TomTerrific says—We all mature cause of many many reasons.  Some of those reasons are just not soooo much fun to learn from; but they are very effective.  I don’t know for sure if that is true but it sounds right.  What do you think? Another OneSmartGolfBuddy told me that he voted already at the courthouse a.k.a. early voting.  He said—I held my nose and voted!  He didn’t sound that he knew for sure he was doing the right thing.

Changes R you can’t fix stupid.  You can overlook it and even pretend it’s not there or just accept it but you can’t fix it.  SusieQ says—Once you lose confidence in a person, it’s almost impossible to regain it.  It’s time to pack it up and move on.  Does than make any sense to you.  A man was driving when he saw the flash of a traffic camera. He figured that his picture had been taken for exceeding the limit, even though he knew that he was not speeding... Just to be sure, he went around the block and passed the same spot, driving even more slowly, but again the camera flashed. Now he began to think that this was quite funny, so he drove even slower as he passed the area again, but the traffic camera again flashed. He tried a fourth time with the same result. He did this a fifth time and was now laughing when the camera flashed as he rolled past, this time at a snail's pace. Two weeks later, he got five tickets in the mail for driving without a seat belt. Da! WorldClassLarry says—The old saying is, don’t talk about religion, money or politics and we will get along much better.  OpenMindedBertha says—We need to disagreeably agree on some things.  I agree but sometimes when mistakes of others will affect our lives, it’s hard to not try to help folks (e.g. if a child who is a poor money manager doesn’t change, they will need your help to bail them out and then live in your house with you supporting them).  Ouchy ouchy! MissPerfect says--I wish sometimes that I wouldn’t care about somethings (i.e. I didn't say that! If I really did, I didn't say that intentionally.  I didn't know it was illegal. It's a lie. It's just locker room talk!). You ever felt that way?  Just take care of myself; decide what is important to me and and forget the rest.  I’m a fixer soooo that can make my life hard sometimes. A friend, who is a fixer as well, says we struggle when we can’t make good stuff happen (i.e. at least what we think is good). Maybe I don’t know what is good; that could be.  It seems everyone thinks they know what is good.  Everyone! Even if they don't!  Such is life! Have a FUN day my friends unless you have other plans. (-: erv MyFriendJean says—For where your treasure is, there will you heart be also. P.S. It appears that leadership is a lot harder than it used to be.  Everyone thinks they know all the answers and won’t listen to the leaders like they use too. It use to be the leaders told them what to believe and the folks did.  I grew up on the farm and we use to deworm the livestock.  You could put the dewormer in the water and after a day or so walk around and see all the worms in their crap.  GeorgeTheCrook says--If we would deworm the presidential candidates, well, now that would be interesting.  Crazy! But, everyone can have their own opinions! Isn’t it great to live in America. Such is life.
