I shouldn't of but I did

We are in Albuquerque this morning on our way home via Morrison, CO, home of James, Heather, Erin and Jimmer. That is if we can get through the snow in CO.

Maybe I put my nose where I shouldofnot’f. TillieSmart says—erv, I suggest that you should never poke the bear; don’t kick over the hornets’ nest; don’t tug on Superman’s cape; let sleeping dogs lie. If you do, your life will be much better.  Sooooo TillieSmart, are you suggesting that I should not be fully frontal? Hey listen TilleSmart, what I’m going to say in this “It’s Saturday” is very easy to understand. You won’t need a manual.  And TilleSmart said to me—Who is Emanuel?

Yes, maybe I’m putting my nose where it shouldn’t be.  If you think this stuff I write about in this “It’s Saturday” touches a nerve of yours, (i.e. I don’t mean tooooo), just rub some dirt on it; you’ll be okay.  Really folks. LuckieEddie says—Positive anything is better than negative nothing!  Well jumping cholla!

Hey folks. now don't get all bent out of shape; don't rant and rave.  It's not anything to get the hair on the back of your neck to stand up on end! MiddleofthefairwayRod says--If you get excited about this, I can't imagine how you act watching the 5:30 news! Soooo if you get sorta kinda excited, put you big girl panties on and move on! JoeBlow says--Angry folks look 10 years older.  Ouchy ouchy! Such is life.

You remember the song Elvis use to sing titled – It’s now or never.  Soooo get off you cans folks. An 80yearoldwoman told me that when she was 17 years old, her doctor really cajoled her to stop her weight gain (i.e. she was 5’4” and weighed 155 pounds).  She said--I’m sooooo happy he was sooooo hard on me.  She now weighs probably 115.  She then said—I have to work on it every day; every day since I was 17; it’s not easy but…it’s now or never!

Telling it like it is folks.  I was in a group of folks who I know a little but not very well. A person was talking about someone they knew that died and that some of them went to his funeral. They said his son got up and did some kind of eulogy of his father but didn't mention his sister.  I guess the kids are maybe 65-70 as the old man was 91.  He and his sister have not seen eye to eye for ever.  He didn't mention anything about her.  She got up and said--What am I? Chopped liver?  Another lady in our group who must have known the family said--That is just want she is, chopped liver! Ouchy ouchy!  I laughed!  Such is life.

Early last Sunday morning I was running up’emin’emmountains and I met a couple of 25ish pretty gals.  They were very nicely dressed and had very pleasing personalities (i.e. seemed to be the type of gals you would like your son to bring home for Sunday dinner).  They were sorta kinda struggling and were only out maybe half a mile from the trail head.  I said—Enjoy your hike as I left them.  One responded—We need to while we can.  They both were overweight and out of shape.  I didn’t know if they meant-- before it gets hot or before they can’t physically hike anymore.  SusieQ asks—Do folks exercise to control their weight or control their weight by exercising?

I played 9 holes of golf the other day.  My buddy, BigPete and I were discussing how the women seem to pay a lot of attention to how they dress (i.e. look very nice—a huuge massive money maker).  My buddy said that “the comparing with other women” is really good for sales; for the most part, guys aren’t that conscious of what the other guys think.  Crazy.  My buddy went on to say—He played in a pickleball tournament with a gal who asked him what he was going to wear?  He just laughed.  She said--What we wear is the most important thing, then having fun and last to compete. MissPerfect says—You can no longer tell which folks are rich by their dress like it use to be (i.e. especially in men). My mentor use to say to me—erv, you can’t tell by looking at a man if he is rich; you have to look at his wife (i.e. that’s outdated now; he was a little old school in his thinking, maybe).

I think I could tell who most folks are (i.e. who I know quite well) by their dress; I wouldn't need to see their face.  Folks dress pretty much the same style all the time.  And you folks could do the same with me. During my run/hike up'erin'emmountains, I met some folks that had their bodies covered head to toe (i.e. no sun exposure for them).  Then I met two gals that had on those tight athletic shorts on and a exercise halter tops.  Those folks were miles apart.  It made me laugh.  

RichieRich says--Millionaires care very little about what other people think. If they think staying at home and playing in the garden is fun, then that’s what they’re going to do. And, they definitely don’t feel the need to brag to their friends on Facebook about it.

I heard a guy do a talk about “our culture which is all about me.” He said—no brag, just fact!  Hey guy, you don’t have to drill tooooo deep to figure that out.  I also learned what “humble brag” was.  I never heard of it before.  He said that it appears on a lot on social media (i.e. part of our culture).  He said that there are soooo many things that aren’t hard to understand but hard to do.  Da! BragieBrag (i.e. who seems to think he’s part of the Trinity) says—I want you to know that I’m really a humble person when I say this—I’m really a good person for being soooo humble! If you want to hear more about me, just ask me! I have the time. I will brag very humbly!  The other morning I had breakfast with Dean and Pat (i.e. childhood friends) at Snooze a place where they have agave syrup--a hip and happening place the waitress told us (i.e. now that was just a humble brag).  I was telling them about what this guy talked about.  I asked our maybe 23ish waitress if she knows about this “humble brags.”  Oh ya, she gave us several examples that were right on the money. BigTimeEddie says--Folks who humbly brag about their IQ are losers!

I got up early the other morning and didn’t feel just right.  Nothing really bad but different.  I thought maybe I exercised toooo much the day before or the Smashburger made me a little constipated, or maybe toooo much sun yesterday or God only knows!  ANYWAY, I made a cup of coffee, checked my communications and headed out for my hike/run up’erin’emmountains.  As I started my route I started reciting my favorite Bible verses (i.e. Isaiah 40:28-31) several times.  I started feeling normal again (i.e. whatever that is).  Happenstance, na I don’t think so (i.e. this is what WizardJim always says).  Some of you think this God stuff is just a bunch of crap; just for the weak who can’t take care of themselves (i.e. that’s me). Some of you haven’t bought into this God stuff. Ok, maybe my “feeling better” was ‘cause my constipation was loosening up, or the sun coming up over the mountain stimulated my mind or my body was just waking up.  Now that could be.  You decide.  I never noticed that before, but then there are a lot of things I never notice.

It's March Madness and I enjoy watching the NCAA tournament for the most part (i.e. especially the last 5 minutes if its close).  I at least enjoy following it.  Some of the games are soooooo close; some of those games are decided by who gets the 50-50 balls.  Sometimes the team with the most intensity wins.  Those folks who are "sitters on the couch eating chips" probably won't understand that statement.  I probably shouldn't have said that (i.e. not politically correct).  I shouldn't of but but I did!  It seems like we don't call shots as they are anymore.  I have no idea if anyone calls a spade a spade anymore.  LukieEddie says--Yabut erv, first we have to decide what a spade is. Very good point LukcieEddie.  A spade might be different to me than it is to you.  Our individual environments might have a huge massive effect on our definition of a spade.  It is very obvious there are major differences as to what a spade is defined by different folks. And then most of those definitions are just opinions. CadillacJack says--In North Korea a spade is more defined!  Such is life.

I was visiting with a pickleball buddy. I have been very fortunate to be invited to play with an ability group of folks (i.e.most of these folks are tournament players).  I also like these folks (i.e. for the most part ha ha). ANYWAY that person plays a lot of tournaments.  He said--Pickleball tournaments aren’t as great as they look (i.e. his opinion).  It’s a full day to play a few games.  He said—95% of the folks pay for the 5% who really get to play.  If you aren’t very good, it’s uno dos y adiós amigo for $50. That is his opinion folks.  

Soooo another thing off my bucket list!  I wanted to experience the Samsung VR (i.e. a modern gizmo).  I stopped at Verizon and inquired about it.  A salesman who was an ISU civil engineering student helped me.  He let me look through it and it was just amazing; quite a digital experience.  I was really surprised.  I said the same uhhhhhs and wows and ahhhhs as the old man on TV did (i.e. I could have been that guy).  And the experience was free folks. I realize some of you think I'm pretty simple to get such a big kick out the Samsung VR.  That is ok, I had a hoot!  Soooo that afternoon I called the AZ Republic to cancel our subscription.  The guy was processing the cancellation and asked me what I did today--I told him about my experience with the Samsung VR.  He said--Sooooo what did you think--it was really something; do you have one--oh ya--what do you use yours mostly for--games; the best game is...(i.e. I can't remember the name) which has a lot of monsters in it--is there a lot of shooting--oh ya, a lot--you like a lot of shooting--oh ya; I like a lot of shooting--you think I should have it--oh ya; you got to have it; it's the best game.  He didn't know that there is probably 50 years difference in our ages and I don't much care for games and don't have have any interest in  monsters and a lot of shooting.  What a hoot I had folks.  And it was all free! Such is life.

I probably shouldn't say this but I am.  It might offend some of you. PreacherJohn (i.e. anybody can be a John) said Sunday--Sooooo when someone bashes Jesus, do you step up to the plate or do you go and sit in the dugout holding your bat? He said--Do you want that person to go to hell (i.e. being a fire fighter for eternity) or would you rather just want them to like you? LuckieEddie says--Hey, PrecherJohn, it's a lot easier to not say anything 'cause that person might tell me to "go to hell!!!!" Could be LucieEddie but they might also say...! Hey folks, is PreacherJohn in your face toooo much!!!! Maybe you think he put his noise where it doesn’t belong!  If he did, suck it up cupcake and let's get going! MissPerfect says--More than likely none of us are as good as we think we are! Ouchy ouchy!

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

P.S. Occasionally readers will contact me and tell me they no longer get "It's Saturday." Soooo if that would happen to you, check your spam.  Maybe your security on your computer has changed and your new security spams bcc group mailings.  If soooo, you just need to despam me.
