Probably most, if not all of you, think that this “It’s
Saturday” isn’t #1 but more like #2!
Sooooo if you think it stinks like #2, spray some Febreze on it and read
on!
A friend was at a meeting when the presenter was explaining something
to the audience and said—you know. A
person stopped the presenter and said he didn’t know and asked her if she could
explain it. The presenter stumbled
around but could really explain it and concluded with this—you know!
You know what (i.e. is that a question or statement)?. LuckieEddie (i.e. he's always going down hill with the wind at his back) says—It appears that folks with
money have a tendency to be givers by giving money and those who don’t have a
lot of money have a tendency to be givers by giving their time. Why is that
LuckieEddie? You know! No, I don’t know, explain that to me
please. CadillacJack says--Life is great
(i.e. period) or (i.e. question mark)!
If you change the . to a ?, it changes the statement completely. Soooo life is great?. Suzie says—It all depends what emojis you
use! Susie, I can’t always understand
those emojis! They confuse me at
times. But I’m just a little old farm
boy from a mile and fourth south of Roseland, MN. Onesmartgolfbuddy/friend said to me "yippee skippy!" I have no idea what that means! Such is life.
The other day three businessmen and myself sorta kinda
accidentally met in front of a local business.
We gave each other a hard time, talked business, shared stuff, laughed a
lot, gave each other crap etc. The whole
meeting lasted maybe 15 minutes. It was
soooo uplifting to me. These guys are
great, real guys with good hearts; my kind of folks. You know, that get-to-gather was maybe just
happenstance, na, I don’t think soooo. Dilly Dilly!
I was talking to a one-smart businessman and he told me that
the best course he took getting his MBA was business ethics (i.e.I didn't ask him why, should have). Is cannibalization
good business? Is it ethical? Is it
necessary to stay afloat? Is it expansion? Is it good business? Is it free
enterprise? Is it capitalism? Will it ever stop? You know the answer you know!
My Mom, Anna, said to me a lot—erv, always do what is right. I think that is good advice for good reason.
ItchieBitchie says—It seems like everyone is critical (i.e.
barkin’) these days. You know! And it
seems that many folks are frustrated and weary. You know! And you know that everyone
wants high reward with low risk. ItchieBitchie
says—Yabut, we listen but we don’t hear; we only hear what we want to hear and
interrupt it the way we want or think we want (i.e. called rationalizing). Some buddies and I went out for breakfast
last Saturday morning. I invited another
buddy—told him at Todd’s at 7:30—he went to Matt’s at 6:30. I’m going to have
to send a note home with him to give to his wife next time! Arlene had her ears
flushed out this last week. She says—loud; I assume that means that she can
hear better. Well she should hear better
after getting rid of 71 years of crap out of her hears. You know, I think my buddy should consider
getting his ears flushed! Such is life.
Do you think others really understand
you? Do others know about your boots
a.k.a. called errors or mistakes? Of
course not everyone knows about all our boots (i.e. when we kick it). And even if they know some of our boots, they
don’t remember them even though we seem to remember them (i.e. others are soooo
busy remembering their own boots). You
know! I had a visit with a super senior friend sorta kinda by accident the
other day. When I say super, she is
getting up there in age and is a super gal.
ANYWAY, she told me things about herself that I didn’t know; very
interesting stuff (i.e. she was vulnerable to me in telling me about some of
her boots—very humble). I thought I knew
her pretty well but I didn’t know the stuff she told me. You know, I actually
like her even more now than I did before because I understand her better (i.e.
because he was soooo real).
BigPictureBetty says--An
object in possession seldom retains the charm it held in pursuit. Have you ever wanted something really bad and
after you got it, you found out it wasn’t as good and exciting as you though it
was going to be? I have. But I get bored easily. I recently did an activity that I enjoy. But I didn’t enjoy it very much this
time. Maybe it was related to many
different reasons; now that could be you know.
Or maybe I need a break from that activity to appreciate it more. Now
that could be. As the song goes—After
you been having steak for a long time, beans beans taste fine! You know what I
mean!
Attitude
is important, you know! WoldClassLarry
says--Hate destroys a person’s spirit. Saturday question—Have you ever been
hateful or are you hateful today?
Hate just tears a person’s mind and guts up; yes it does you know. And the only one it affects is the person who
has the hate. The folks who folks hate
aren’t affected or really don’t care. Da!
Crazy, you know! My Daddy, Chester, had the saying in the pic. I have it hanging by my desk. You know, he might be right. What do you think?
several years. It has become quit a closely-knit group. They are very uplifting to me. We share and laugh and sometimes even cry (i.e. we are pretty open with each other). And of course, we drink coffee and eat goodies. You know what I mean. I really like these folks.
MyBigSister, only in age, sent me an article as she thought
I might like it. I liked it. It is by
Louis Lotz. Here is a part of it—Sometimes
the most memorable ballgames are the ones that never happened. Like the most enchanting romances, or the
most beautiful sunsets, they’re the ones you only imagined. Some true things never happened, if you know
what I mean…sometimes the best sermons are the ones you only think you
heard. You know!
You know, you have to be pretty lucky to get a hole in one
a.k.a. an ace. Well I got one Tuesday. My third.
Wow, you say, you must be pretty good. No, just pretty lucky once in a while! My little, sweet Arlene in her playing days got two. They use
to put pictures of folks who got aces in the paper. My point is that we make a
big deal out of somethings that aren’t really a very big deal; they are just fun but really not very important (i.e. lucky). I want you to write down
5 major accomplishments that you accomplished in our life. Now those are accomplishments that should be applauded. Those are important; not lucky. Oh, you know, it is the custom to buy drinks
for everyone on the course when you get a hole in one. Arlene was riding with me and there was another
2-some on the course. They were a
retired CRC pastor and one of his parishioners; I don’t think they drink; at
least publicly! Besides, the clubhouse was
closed! I get all the breaks. Such is life.
Have a FUN day my
friends unless you have other plans. (-:
