nuisance

Anacortes'OwnDeceptionPassQueenDeb says--erv, you talk toooooo much about pie in the sky! You can be a nuisance!

Can something good that is over done be considered a nuisance! Jeanne went to see her sister who lived in Kent which is a suburb of Seattle. Any location west of the Cascades is much wetter and their vegetation flourishes. Well, she picked some blackberries outside her apartment for us. Blackberries grow wild and are abundant in this area, soooo abundant that they are a nuisance. I really like blackberries but the locals maybe not soooo much. PortTownsend'sOwnHarborMasterBobby, who is a local, told us not to eat the blackberries from the lower stems as the dogs pee on them! I don't think she is local as that makes sense to us!

We were discussing and wondered if we might think we are helpful to folks but we might become a nuisance to them instead (i.e. maybe a little of us goes a long ways)! Some folks told us that they have sooo many friends, family and acquaintances that come visit them that they are a nuisance (i.e. like mosquitoes). Some other folks told us that they have visitors and can’t get rid of them (i.e. they are like leeches)! JoeBainbridgeIsland says--Us older folks like our routines and don’t like them messed up! It’s like the old saying—After three days, they are like dead fish, they start to stink!

Some antonyms for nuisance are joy, pleasure delight. We were visiting the information center of North Cascades National Park and we were leaving the facility when we started a conversation with a grandfather who was about 70 and his grandson who was 12. Jeanne asked if they would like her to take a picture of them together. They were very excited and accepted the offer. So as we were departing I said to him, you guys are nice people. He said to us, nice people like to be around other nice people. Interesting concept!

I wonder if many folks are weary; it sorta kinda seems that way to me. Are you weary? But then again why should folks be weary? I just read in the paper, soooo it must be right, that 10% of all adults in the U.S. have a net worth of a million dollars or more! But then again, maybe it’s the other 90% that have more to be weary about? JoeWhidbeyIsland on the Puget Sound says--It's all about the money, isn't it?

Death is a nuisance! Studies show that children follow only parents as the most admired and influential figures in children's lives. I admired Chester and Anna and they influenced me. My parents died when I was 16 and 22 sooooo I didn’t get their full blow. I would have liked to have been around them longer and also for our children but not to be. Many of you know what I’m talking about. Life isn’t fair, the only thing that’s fair is the Butler County Fair and that’s in June.

Aging can be a nuisance too! BobScquim from the Dungeness Spit in the Straight of Juan de Fuca of the Puget Sound told me that his golf game has gone way down hill as he got older—I complain all the time that my ball doesn’t go near as far any more. His golf buddy put his arm around him and told him to not worry about it, you were never very good; your club speed is slower than the speed limit in a school zone! I asked him why it's call a spit--he said 'cause that is what it is called!  Soooo there ya go!

“My future is written by what I do today! What I do today will affect me in the future. The past, present and the future all run together.” I didn’t make that up, oh no, Einstein said that. LindaWhoIsOneSmartPersonOnTheOlympicPeninsula who gets as much respect as the Colombia Bar where the river meets the ocean, said—"We have echoes of the past that we hear, both good and bad. And the future we will have echoes of the what we do today. We are making those echoes today.” I want to sit down and talk to myself about what I think and do today; I hope my thoughts and actions aren't a nuisance to myself or others!

Joe"Lumberjack"Forks told us that the local logging business around Forks has really taken a hit because of two events; the large machines that now have taken away a lot of jobs and the Northern Spotted Owl. He also told us that the logging business is the most dangerous occupation there is; if you see a lumberjack who is 60, he is either lucky, tough or very smart! Joe"Lumberjack"Forks lives near the Hoh Rain Forest which is beautiful but it's where it rains 148 inches a year sooooo he might be all wet, a.k.a. nuisance!

This guy was the real deal!  I was getting condiments for my Costco hot dog (i.e. not from the Neah Bay Costco a.k.a. The Brink of the Continent as there is no Costco there let me tell ya) and a guy said to me—excuse me (i.e. he was getting some napkins) and then said—I’m a real slob and need a lot of them! Suggestion, don't leave a visit, a job, a relationship, or anything in a mess. Folks are a nuisance when they do that!  

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