Thought for the Day: (Part Deaux)

Marieortiz; the truth out of the mouth of babes! What was your answer ;-) I would like to know too!

Christie

Flies should be the size of dogs so they could eat ALL the poop, not just enough to get their feet dirty and crawl around on my piece of cake.

Lol he stumped me with that one and I told him I would really like to know that answer myself. Lucky for me before he could say anything else my husband distracted him.

God made flies to annoy us, that's what you tell him Marie!!

From one of my favorite philosophers, Blaise Pascal:

"The present is never our end. The past and present are our means; the future alone is our end. So we never live, but hope to live; and, as we are always preparing to be happy, it is inevitable that we should never be so."

"Middle age is when your age starts to show around your middle"
Bob Hope

"The true genius shudders at incompletedness, and usually prefers silence to saying something which is not everything it should be." Edgar Allen Poe

Guess I'm not a genius! LOL

"Boredom: the desire for desires." Leo Tolstoy

There is really some truth to that! :)

Middle Age: When your broad mind and narrow waist swap places.

So Angie, you're quoting Tolstoy and Poe. I've only gotten up to Johnny Carson and Yogi Berra.

LOL I like your quote better, Randy. Just found a website with literary quotes, and they were the best I could do today. :)

I'm a big Poe fan and I love that Tolstoy quote.

Here's one from my dad.

I trace my family history so I will know whom to blame.

When you're trying to manage one, you'll understand that there's a reason "wisteria" rhymes with "hysteria".

I like that one!

Both???

I only saw one! You've added one!

What a man needs in gardening is a cast-iron back, with a hinge in it

Hinges need to be oiled!

My wife said that if I buy any more plants she would leave me.
I'm going to miss that woman.

Q-What do you call a grumpy and short tempered gardener?


A- SnapDragon.

[Lisa, my wife, answered "Randy!"]

LOL!!! I think my Dh feels the same away about buying plants. He asked if I was leaving my clothes in Cali this weekend so I could bring home plants in my suitcase :o)

Send the clothes home FedEx.

Well, you can always mail them home! If we ever take a trip to the UK again, that's what I'm doing with my dirty laundry!

Great minds think alike! LOL

Evidently "not-so-great" ones do also! LOL

Tongue firmly in cheek Kathleen!!

LOL!!! I like that idea Kathleen now if whom ever was home to receive them would only clean them too!!

THE GIFT OF TOUCH

We know it now, more than ever in this alienated and hostile society, where the only real communication lies in these primal acts of love and touch-- man and woman, mother and child, father and child, human and human. What else endures?

Marya Mannes,
"Out of My Time"
(Doubleday, 1971)

From "Song of Myself"
I make holy whatever I touch or am touch'd from"
Walt Whitman

Last one for now,
"A single intimate body contact will do more than all the beautiful words in the dictionary. The ability that physical feelings have to transmit emotional feelings is truly astonishing."
Desmond Morris
"Intimate Behavior"
(Bantam, 1973)

Note:
People need and crave to be touched, it is our nature. Not just your spouse, but your children, parents, friends, and associates. Sometimes a simple hug or pat on the back means more than you can imagine.
Hugs all around my friends!
Walk In Beauty!

Well said SW :o)

Money can't buy you happiness .. but it does bring you a more pleasant form of misery.

The philosopher who said that work well done never needs doing over never weeded a garden.

DP......so true, so true.


Just saw this one on an email.


Remember You Don't Stop Laughing Because You Grow Old,

You Grow Old Because You Stop Laughing

I like that one too Sally.

Thursday Thought for the Day:

Why try to explain miracles to your kids when you can just have them plant a garden.

Gardening is a kind of disease. It infects you, you cannot escape it. When you go visiting, your eyes rove about the garden; you interrupt the serious cocktail drinking because of an irresistible impulse to get up and pull a weed. ~Lewis Gannit

Forgiveness is a funny thing. It warms the heart and cools the sting.

Good ones!

The best school, is the one with the teacher at one end of the log, and the student at the other.
(from memory, so may not be word for word) Robert A. Heinlein.

I found this quote today . . . I think I'll remind my wife of this when she remarks that I've been spending too much time outside.

"An addiction to gardening is not all bad when you consider all the other choices in life."
