Source: "A Whack on the Side of the Head: How You Can Be More Creative", by Roger von Oech
"The life cycle is all backwards.
"You should die first and get it out of the way.
"Then you live for 20 years in an old-age home, and get kicked out when you're too young.
"You get a gold watch and then you go to work. You work for 40 years until you're young enough to enjoy your retirement.
"You go to college and you party until you're ready for high school.
"Then you go to grade school, you become a little kid, you play, you have no responsibilities, you become a little baby, you go back into the womb, you spend your last nine months floating, and you finish off as a gleam in somebody's eye."
What's not to like.  |

GW What have you been smoking? With due respect to your beliefs that was tongue in cheek. I also have to say sounds good to me!

Give me a place to stand and a long-enough lever, and I will invariably break the lever.

Greg, I'm having one of those "bad knee days", so the idea of diminishing pain sounds great !

To go back to a time where I had no medical issues would be awesome.

Bob.....don't smoke anything usually......for the last 30 days I've been breathing the Durango Colorado Forest Fire......and my COPD is not so good right now. Maybe it's that.
Just thought we could use something lighter than Democrats and liberals. The today I heard about the outraged idiots in Wyoming! Entitled people are the scourge of our once free country......I'm real tired of it. Now "cowboy" is a bad word......University of Wyoming was just advertising for New Freshmen.....their football team is "cowboys" and now Indians up there are mad? Look out Dallas.....not to mention all the rodeo folks. What's next, apple pie? Snapshot....your therapist must be a liberal.  WE are the good guys....not him. |

Greg,
The liberals will complain about everything and anything. It was not to long ago that they complained about using anything that related the Native American example the "Washington Redskins" so this is no surprise. These people are not happy unless they have something to complain about.

Greg, I sincerely hope your reference to COPD was in jest! Aside from the serious conversation I agree with your getting away from the democrat discussion and about Snapshot's therapist. As far as Gary's comment they'd complain if one of the $100 bills they were given was wrinkled.

Jest? I wish. When I was young....wrong hobby (building model airplanes in my workshop under the stairs) wrong vocation (building trade...I painted houses once), wrong first apartment when I got married (basement apt. with a mold problem).....all in all I was not informed when I was young and took lungs for granted. At least I was smart enough not to smoke....or I'd be dead already. I live by "Advair" an enhaled steriod, and will die when I can no longer get it....SHTF? That said I have and have had a pretty good life. Can't complain, except that if the west keeps burning I may have to move.
To Alaska?.....no drought, no mold, no democrat in power. Or maybe Texas....somewhere other than Austin. (Texas's liberal cancer could metastasize from that malignant spot, heaven help them.)
I used to love Colorado.....then the liberals moved in and got marijuana legalized......still love the mountains (I own a little land up there), but now they grow marijuana legally anywhere everywhere. That kind of smoke in the air is worse than their forest fires.....and their freeways are 10 times more dangerous because of the "m" heads. Guess where the "m" heads in New Mexico go to get their "legal recreation" (and we were speaking about living backwards)
The biggest forest fire in Colorado history is still burning in Southern Colorado........started by an "m" head indigent from Denmark. That's in addition to the Durango Fire I've been breathing......sigh......and the drought is continuing.....praying for more rain......two reasons now. And yet...............................fires and drought might end the weed farms in Colorado......but then they'll just move to your state.  |

My daughter came from Missouri, my son and grand son, my wife and I had a nice dinner of grilled "porter house" pork chops, corn on the cobb, my son, G'son and I share 10/5. G'son is 4 minutes early though @ 10/4.
