If
any of you folks hyper ventilate easy, be careful reading this “It’s Saturday.”
AverageJoe says—Have you ever noticed that some folks get all bent out of shape
sooooo easily and get all worked up (i.e. fly off the handle). Folks are all made different and some are
more vulnerable to brain washing (i.e. they sorta kinda tend to believe
everything they hear or believe what they want to hear or interpret stuff with
their spin--can’t seem to evaluate stuff with an open mind). MissPerfect says—Maybe we are all this way to
some degree but some folks are easier manipulated. You think sooooo?
We maybe are all different. What do you
think? A very nice gal wanted to give us
dinner recently. She asked if we want chili
or oysters. Arlene wanted chili and I
wanted oysters. Our food tastes are many
times different. There are folks who are
very fussy what they like and others are not.
Sooooo that is why some folks like some “It’s Saturdays” better than
others. That is pretty normal I
think. That is just like some folks like
certain books and others don’t; some read and others don’t. Such is life.
WorldClassLarry says--Folks who think they are great but
can’t produce, are replaced with folks who can produce (i.e. the prove is in
the pudding folks). There are gamers and
there are non-gamers (i.e. the gamers can turn on the after burners and just
win; non-gamers can’t do that). I
haven’t watched much pro-football this year (i.e. but did watch the Super Bowl—Brady
is a gamer folks); I don’t know why but just don’t have as much interest. Maybe for a lot of reasons. ANYWAY if you don’t produce in the pro world,
you don’t play; don’t get your contract renewed no matter how great those
players think they are. BUT in many
non-profit organizations or in businesses where there is a strong union or in
government, non-producers can just coast with the system (i.e. my
opinion). GeorgeTheCrook says—Good
happens to bad folks and bad things happen to good folks; don’t kid
yourself. Such is life.
Saturday question—When folks leave your physical connection
(i.e. or by communication of some kind), do they feel better, worse or about
the same? CrazyMarvin says—I really don’t care how they feel; I’m the king of
the hill! It appears many folks have perceived themselves as Supermans and
Superwomans since the time Adam and Eve were picking fruit!
Got this from my big sister (i.e. big only in age). She said--I received a thank-you from
Charlotte (i.e. our cousin form our Moms’ side--Dykema) this week. She shared
how their family is coping with the death of their daughter. They had a
"celebration" at their lake home in N. MN at Christmas. Said
they found comfort in each other. She sent this quote from our late Aunt Jo (i.e.
Charlotte’s mom). (I refer to Aunt Jo as a saint.) Mother would
often say, "Life's trials either make us better or bitter and we do not
want to be bitter." I can see Aunt Jo saying that with a smile on her
face. I remember her as a nice
lady.
Here is something that really works (i.e. you might want to
try it). Arlene’s comprehension is getting quite poor. She seems to know it. When folks talk to her,
she just say “ya.” Or sometimes she
really makes it colorful; she laughs and then says “ya.” It appears that many
times she has no idea what the other person is saying. I have to admit; that’s quite imaginative and
innovative (i.e. she still is always soooo sweet and kind).
Amazing that she can figure that out.
Just amazing. “You can fool some
of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time, but you
can not fool all of the people all of the time.” ~ Abraham Lincoln
One Iowa basketball player coasts (i.e. my opinion); he
appears he thinks he is really good soooo he doesn’t have to play hard (i.e. especially on defense);
maybe he read toooooo much pre-season press.
CadillacJack says—If you really want to get in someone’s head, just tell
them how great they are. That will do
it. If you watch really great folks, they
always work hard and continue to be great (i.e. it’s really hard to be great
for a long period of time—the great ones can do that). My Daddy, Chester, told me—The best folks to
be around are the ones who are great but don’t know it; the folks not much fun
to be around are the ones who really think they are great, but aren’t. That is what he always told me.
AverageJoe says--Great!
Just Great!!!!! How can that be?
Crazy! I’m not treated right. Another kick in the teeth! I read while eating my oatmeal that it rains
on the just and the unjust. That’s just the way it is. The only thing that is fair is the Butler County
Fair and that is in June. Sooooo don’t
be surprised when it doesn’t seem fair.
Just accept it. Move on; let’s get going cupcake! Such is life.
My friend Hagen from MN called me from his deck in Palm
Springs this week. He told me that his knees
are shot, has a bad hip, a pulled groin muscle that won’t heal, his shoulder is
a mess; can’t lift it above his neck, and doesn’t know what is going on with
his heart; has to go to the doc again in April.
But he’s great folks; don’t kid yourself. Soooo you play golf—oh ya,
about 4 rounds a week; usually shoot in low 80s; one round in the 70s; yesterday
I shot 88 (i.e. this is on a rather difficult, pretty course with water on 15
of the 18 holes). Soooo we hang up and
I text him—Are you sure you are counting all your shots! ha ha
His response—I’m sure I think!!!
Do you think life would be really great if God gave you
everything you wanted? Life would be crazy. Can you even imagine how it would be?
WorldClassLarry says—If everyone got everything they wanted, I think we would
all be a mess (i.e. everything would not be great). Whaaaaaat do you think? SusieQ says—I know folks who if were given everything
they wanted, they still wouldn’t be happy. Crazy.
NewspaperKathy asks--Who is great? Has the qualities of
great changed? Do you think you and I think the same as to which folks are
great? What is the world’s idea of a great person? I read in the paper sooooo
it must be right that different folks think different things about what is great;
34% of singles have had sex before a first date. What? ! Is that great? I don’t think sooooo folks. Toooo me that is
just crazy. Great, I don’t think soooo folks.
TomTerrific says--Death is a great
equalizer (i.e. money, power, fame, education, position etc has no
bearing). From dust we came from and to
dust we will return. We are all the same.
BUT many fell that life after death is going to be way different for
different folks. We have a soul and that soul goes somewhere. What do you think? If you believe that there is life after
death, how long is eternity? Holy
smokers! That could be a long time.
I was just thinking about a person who had a great
opportunity and just blew it. He
probably will never have the opportunity again.
He (i.e. my opinion) didn’t have the ability to capitalize on it. And what probably is really crazy, he didn’t
even realize it. Soooo does it really make any difference! Crazy! Such is life. ItchieBitchie says--Maybe just maybe, that is the difference between average and great. What do you think? LuckieEddie says--It's pretty easy to be average; even easier to be below average! Ouchy ouchy! Such is life.
Have a FUN time my friends unless you have other plans. (-:

JoeBlow says--There is a huge massive difference between being good and great!
