Thought for the Day: #3

Weekends are a bit like rainbows; they look good from a distance but disappear when you get up close to them.

Vegetables are a must on a diet. I suggest carrot cake, zucchini bread, and pumpkin pie.

Jules this is for you !!

In Mexico we have a word for sushi: bait

I'm not a complete idiot. Some parts are missing.

Thanks Marie,
That is what I call it too!
I especially liked all of yesterdays Thoughts.
Great ones for the weekend. I hope to do something totally fun like a photo safari, and spend the rest of the day out in the garden vegetating. LOL!
Have a great weekend.

OK, now it's mandatory - I'm making pumpkin muffins today.

Finally!!!! The weekend's here!! Saturday morning!! I got up really early so I could enjoy ALL of it.

Saturday Thought for the Day: (heard a Baptist preacher say this when I was just a little boy)

Everybody wants to go to heaven, but nobody wants to die.

He's right...go read those !

Pretty funny. I have two comments: I DO know how to fold fitted sheets (thank you, Martha), and my freezer does have a light (thank goodness, or DH would never find the frozen yogurt in the evening).

Numbers 9 and 12 are my favorites! LOL

It doesn't work to leap a twenty-foot chasm in two ten-foot jumps.

I liked them all. There were so many good ones! Thanks for the laughs.

The words you say, set the tone for the day.

Mom used to tell us that when we got up grumpy in the morning.
I think she was right too.

Found this one while going through some email.

Jules, I always liked that Gandi quote. It's a good one to live by.

Good morning one and all. I hope you're having a wonderful weekend and may your Sunday be one of peace and relaxation. (or at least your team wins!)

Sunday Thought for the Day:

Spend the afternoon. You can't take it with you.

Good one DP. I think I'll spend the day out in the garden.
I was really happy to come across that Ghandi quote, I really like it too.
Have a great day, hope you enjoy the game!

Hold on, man. We don't go anywhere with "scary," "spooky," "haunted," or "forbidden" in the title. Shaggy, from Scooby Doo

The road to 'Easy Street' goes through the dump. -John Madden.

Good old Shaggy! That was from the movie, wasn't it?

Loved your quote, DP. I lived it today!

Nothing wakes me up more effectively than the feeling of Old Spice splashing on my freshly shaven face....
Good Morning All..

Monday Thought for the Day:

I'm not concerned about all hell breaking loose, but that a PART of hell will break loose... it'll be much harder to detect. -George Carlin

Advice is what we ask for when we already know the answer but wish we didn't.

The Constitution only guarantees the American people the right to pursue happiness. You have to catch it yourself. ~Benjamin Franklin

"Opportunities multiply as they are seized." Sun Tzu

Good one Marie and evidently old Ben was pretty good at BOTH!! He was reputed to be quite the ladies' man, particularly on his travels to Europe.

I woke up Grumpy this morning.
After he had his coffee he was in a better mood.

Makes me think of that old joke.

Man asks wife why she doesn't make the coffee.
She replies that it says in the Bible that she isn't supposed to brew the coffee.
He demanded to know where it said that in the Bible.
She opened the Bible, and pointed to the Chapter called Hebrews.

Sorry, I just couldn't help myself. I don't even drink coffee.

SW

LOL SW, if I waited for "he" to brew, I'd never get a cup of joe, because I'm the only coffee drinker in the house! Every now and then my 11 year old DS will start a pot for me, though. I guess that counts.

I love it, SW!!!

Life is not measured by the breaths you take but by the things that take your breath away.

I used to make my Mom instant coffee every morning when I was a kid. I don't know how to brew a decent pot of coffee. The coffee drinkers ask me to stay away from the coffee pot. Okay! : - )
DH doesn't drink coffee either. We do keep some around for guests, and customers, but I don't make it.
kwanjin, I really love that saying, no matter how often I read it, it always makes me smile. So even if it's been said before, don't let it stop you from posting it again!
Sleep tight and have some super dreams.

Oh, Kwanjin, that one is beautiful!

Good morning all.

Tuesday Thought for the Day:
Most of us spend our lives as if we had another one in the bank.

Tell a man there are 300 billion stars in the universe and he'll believe you. Tell him a bench has wet paint on it and he'll have to touch it to be sure. ~Murphy's Law

Sometimes I wish I could take credit for some of these...

"Protect me from knowing what I don't need to know. Protect me from even knowing that there are things to know that I don't know. Protect me from knowing that I decided not to know about the things that I decided not to know about. Amen." Douglas Adams, Mostly Harmless

This one is a bit long. I borrowed it from an elderly friend of mine, had a copy made, which still hangs in my kitchen today.

SW I do love those house rules, but no one in my house ever followed them.

Samigal, I've noticed a decrease in their ability to read plain English since it was posted. I'm thinking of blowing it up to poster size. Or better yet, making them memorize it. : - |

Whiskey got blamed for a lot of things it never did.

Never do anything that you wouldn't want to explain to the paramedics.

The weekend's almost here....

Thursday Thought for the Day:

We can't solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them." ~Albert Einstein

Ah, a great one, Pirate.

If we fail to anticipate the unforeseen or expect the unexpected in a universe of infinite possibilities, we may find ourselves at the mercy of anyone or anything that cannot be programmed, categorized or easily referenced.
