Everyone is going to agree with what I say in this “It’s
Saturday.” Yes you will; now that is amazing.
The reason is that all of you can put your own spin on the interpretation
of what I write based on your past and current environment that has brain
washed you. I have to laugh at some of your
spins and you have to laugh at some of my spins on stuff. I wonder if some “otherworldly trick” is
messing with our minds. GeorgeTheCrook says--Come on, it is obvious that some
folks are easier to trick than others.
A friend took his family to the Chief’s game Sunday
night. It was supposed to be a day game
but was changed to a night game and messed up the family’s plans. ANYWAY, he told me that living in an analog
word compared to a digital world costs folks money. His son, on a mobile app, got a parking
ticket for $35. At the parking lot, cash or credit card was $65. Sooooo what does that tell you? Holy smokes!
A friend (i.e. who is a quick as a cat) and I communicated
by text. He said--Every time I read some
CS Lewis (i.e. we both enjoy his writings) I just think, “ the guy just got
it.” ~ He sure is interesting! I
think part of the reason is that most of the time he doesn’t exactly tell us
what he is saying. ~ Hmmm. Good point. He is a master
with the pen.
Some of you have told me that there are times you don’t understand my
writing. Holy smokes! It isn’t because I’m a master with the pen;
I’m just a little old farm boy from a mile and a fourth south of Roseland,
MN. It’s more likely I write soooo
simple that you try to read more into it when there is not more to read into
it. It’s like one of our home care
providers who wears socks that don’t match. I said—your socks don’t match—I
never wear socks that match; it’s tooooo much work; and besides, if one gets a
hole in it, I don’t have to throw the other one away. What a hoot!
She just made me laugh.
This “It’s Saturday” had been tested by chemists Guy and
Sarah in Hamilton, MI and based on the
results of their independent laboratory tests, it is declared “99 44/100% Pure.” Sooooo there you go! Holy smokes! Mr. Ivory
says--It even floats in the bathwater.
My Mom, Anna, always bought Ivory soap and we used it in our weekly bath
(i.e. I thought it was the only soap sold). Yes, we had to take a Saturday
night bath every week if we needed it or not. Then we had to memorize our Sunday
School verse and then got a Dad’s Root Beer float (i.e. the only time we had
ice cream and pop)! A good life. I even
remember Mr. Ivory washing my mouth out a time or two! Yucky yucky!
I think I said darn or something like that—real bad stuff back then!
I have learned soooo much from the three care givers who are/have been part of our lives. They all fold clothes differently, all make beds differently, all wash clothes differently, all clean house differently and all react to Arlene a little differently (i.e. all three are very neat gals). Maybe they all learned this stuff from their moms. ANYWAY, I got a tutorial from each about bra care. They all wash them differently, all dry them differently and all told me how to do it. What a hoot! The best statement I heard was—Bras are a lot of work for what they are worth! Holy smokes!
We all don’t agree on how it should be done or what it means
(i.e. most times we just don’t understand).
Oh no! Ya, the contractual attorney writes up a contract. The other
side’s attorney reviews the contract to make sure it fits their client. When they both agree, they sign the contract
and a contract is formed and agreed to.
THEN maybe sometime later, the contract holders or their estates disagrees with the interpretation of the contract. Sooooo now the litigation attorney
representing the unhappy contract holder sues the other party of the contract.
Either they compromise, or it goes to court where a judge or a jury decides the
interpretation. Folks don’t always agree
with what the contract says after time for many reasons. Usually it always has to do with money! Holy
smokes!
Talking about the money. Money must be
important as the paper constantly reports how much each candidate has raised
for their election campaign. It appears
if they can’t raise money their chances of winning are less (i.e. more money
raised puts the odds of winning more on your side—maybe—maybe it’s just a foul
tick). The candidates for Governor in IA
have spent $28,000,000 trying to brainwash us to vote for them. Crazy. The
Boston Red Sox are #1 in current payroll at $238,398,861 and the Dodgers are #3
at $199,582,045 out of the 30 major league baseball teams. And they are in the world series. LuckieEddie says--Soooooo, if you can get the
better players does that mean you have a better chance of getting to the world
series? LuckieEddie, it would appear
that way. Holy smokes.
Do you guys pray? I
know some of you claim you don’t believe in God a.k.a. atheists. Why wouldn’t you pray anyway to God; like
just in case; you aren’t out anything. I
knew a deceased guy who would come to church but told me he didn’t’ believe in
God; I asked him how come he comes to church at communion; I want to cover the
bases just in case. Let’s say you are in
between a rock and a hard place or you were looking death in the face or up the creek without a paddle; why
wouldn’t you pray. My opinion is that
you would have to be a crazy person not toooooo pray; you would have tooooo be pretty
egotistical and have a heart of self-love.
I don’t think you can be that wacko to not to pray; I really don’t. Because of Chester and Anna, I learned to
pray using the acronym of ACTS when praying—Affirmation, confession,
thanksgiving, and supplication. God
doesn’t care how we pray but just wants us to pray but many prayers are about
supplication more than anything else. We
are human and really stubborn, stiff necked, selfish folks. Holy smokes!
One more thing—God will not misunderstand you (i.e. you can’t fool Him—it’s
not reviewable). He knows exactly how
you feel. Exactly! What do you think of that? That is what I
thought.
A friend suggested I read the book, The Release of the Spirit, soooooo I did. I learned a few things. One of them is this—“You cannot use your (independent) mind or feeling to discern people. No matter how keen your mind, you cannot penetrate the dept of man and reveal his condition.” Maybe that means that we cannot really understand each other even if we think we can. What do you think of that? That is what I thought. Holy smokes!
It's déjà vu all over again! Think about
this! There has maybe been about
108,000,000,000 people born on this earth.
Now that is a lot of folks. All
of those folks have a story and a situation. That makes my story and situation
seem rather not unique. My story or
situation isn’t any better or worse than any of them. Every person of those
108,000,000,000 folks has/had emotions, a soul, beliefs, love, hate, etc. All
are born and will or will die. Not much
new even though many folks think they are the only ones who think they have
experienced sorrow or joy; they aren’t. You aren’t. 30 years from now what I
worry about now won’t make much difference I would bet. I bet I’m not a prototype I would guess. Such
is life.
Holy smokes! Tom Brady is called the goat by some; that is
G.O.A.T. an acronym for Greatest Of All Time in NFL! In the scheme of
things and of time, does it really make much difference if he is or not. It
appears that many times folks seem great, and maybe are for a short time and in
a certain place of time in a certain area of expertise, but in reality, they
really aren’t that important. They are just perceived to be and think they are
in something such as football (i.e. is football important at all). 30 years from now, no one really cares; in
fact, very few really care now, ok, a few. In reality, Tom Brady’s ability as a
football player has very little importance in the grand scheme of things (i.e.
my opinion). In fact, Tom doesn’t like
to be called the goat. Maybe he
understands that. Maybe! And maybe not!
I have no idea. Maybe you aren’t the goat of the NFL but you are really great
to some person or a small group of folks.
You might be the real goat and you don’t even know it. I think that is a truism. JoeBlow says--I
will think about that!
I read this when eating my oatmeal with half a banana on
it--RickyRick says--Well, God has many characteristics. He is all-knowing
(omniscient), he is all-powerful (omnipotent), he can be everywhere at the same
time (omnipresent). The Bible tells us God is holy, just, kind, loving, and
faithful. Holy smokes! You believe that?
That is what I thought. "All
I have seen teaches me to trust the creator for all I have not seen."
~Ralph Waldo
I had breakfast with an inimitable onesmartperson (i.e. he could
be maybe probably be one of the greatest folks on this earth—but I am very
prejudice about this guy). We talked
about 2 of the 3 things that folks are not to talk about that can cause
conflict (i.e. money, politics and religion).
BUT those are the 3 things I like to talk about and are important to
talk about (i.e. much more than talking about superficial stuff—although we did
talk about sports and some other fun stuff).
We talked about those 2 of 3 areas (i.e. that many folks have a
dichotomy with) without being obnoxious but respected each other’s opinions and
feelings. We were also personal about
some stuff (i.e. important stuff). It was just one great time; very uplifting
(i.e. a great time that cannot ever be taken away). Holy smokes!
JoeBlow says—If you are a big mouth radical, it’s time for you to but a
sock in it if you know what’s good for you socially and in keeping or getting a
job; if you don’t know that by know, well, you might not ever get it. I found this very interesting! A friend told me that a couple has been
excluded by a certain social group they are part of. Why? Well, this couple is extremely obnoxious
with their vocal expressions of their views.
They say such crazy stuff that made them repulsive to be around (i.e.
you can’t win a pissing match with skunks).
Having difference of opinions is ok and probably good but being totally
wacko in expressing them is not good for relationships. CrazyMarvin says—Just because you are in Rome, you don’t have to act
like the Romans! I agree with my friend;
it’s better just not to be around this type of person; no one has any fun; they
ruin conversations. Those radical folks
speaking radical thoughts will have a lot more fun being around other crazies
that speak the same lingo! There are
soooo many good folks that we don’t have to spend our time with folks we don’t
enjoy being around.
ItchieBitchie says—You can’t believe them. I’m refereeing to our bodies and our
minds. They lie worse that Satan! Our minds and bodies tell us not to exercise,
not to save money, not to live moral lives, be self-glorifying, be egoistical,
etc. You understand. You can’t even believe yourself; and you
thought the politicians were bad.
Saturday question—Do you believe everything your boss says, your parents
say, your kids say, your pastor says, your neighbor says etc.? That is what I thought! GeorgeTheCrook says--You believe what some
folks say sometimes and sometimes you don’t; it depends on the person who is
doing the talking. Their past history affects your decision immensely. Some folks are easy to believe and others,
well, not soooo much! Holy smokes! Will Rogers said--If you’re ridin’ ahead of the herd, take a look back every now and then
to make sure it’s still there.
Have a FUN day my friends unless you have other plans. (-:
