A random thread of absolute randomness...

We had a very modern house when I was growing up. Everything in the house was voice activated. My dad could sit in his chair and voice activate the dishwasher, the TV, the lawn mower.

 

All he had to do was tell one of us kids to do it. 🤣

I am now reading the thread "Zoom, Skype Technical Q&A here:"

 

Reminiscing with delight, the beginning of the Zoom era. I already fear I will miss it. Not the beginning, oh well, maybe the beginning too  

[Suspended in Time]

Random thoughts.... I have a lot of those.

 

 

 

 

Any day they play Supertramp on the Radio is a good day.

 

A good cure for headaches is to get some pepper and rub it in your eye.

 

Spam is best eaten straight out of the can with a fork.

 

Someone, I think it was Kamahl or Gandhi or something, said "Why are people so uptight?"

 

I've always wanted to be in control of an orange bubble

 

Sometimes I have lovely conversations with cheese.

 

Deep down everybody is really humble and nice.

 

The perma-beanie seems to be a popular new fashion trend.

 

A Ukulele Club meeting is kind of like Alcoholics Anonymous, but with Ukuleles.

 

A few of the different gods commonly worshipped today are called "Beer", "Footy", "Science", "Money", etc. etc.

 

People aren't blindly believing in the same old stuff anymore. You have to change with the times and blindly believe in different stuff now.

 

People who live with Glass Tables shouldn't throw Frying Pans.

 

I'll probably get beat up for saying this, but seriously... what is so manly about Fishing?

 

X-mas is the 6 months of the year when music that sounds like a demented  ice-cream van is blasted from speakers almost every single place you go.

 

They say don't judge a person until you've walked a mile in their shoes - but for some people those shoes are stupid big floppy clown shoes I wouldn't be seen dead in!!!

 

 

 

 

Stuff like that

Heard a commercial on the radio this morning saying "it's as American as Apple pie" got me to wondering "is Apple pie really American" ummm, not even close

I guess this is another sign of getting older.

 

I had minor surgery on my left ear last month and I have been wearing a bandage on it for over a month. I have attended nearly every in-person meeting, I have given several parts and conducted the meeting for service each week. The bandage is not highly visible but it is visible.

 

Not a single person has said a word about the bandage. 

 

Is it so common for older ones to wear bandages that no one bothers to ask about them? Are bandages added to the list of things old men wear along with glasses, hearing aids and wrinkles? 

 

I'm a little disappointed. I had several 'stories' ready to explain the bandage and I didn't get to tell a single one of them...

Nice one. My response would be to practise on someone else, not yourself....

Next story...? Playing Peter in a live drama and slipped...?

We have a bird of paradise bush that attracts a lot of hummingbirds. I was pruning it and apparently made a hummingbird upset, he decided to use my head for a dartboard. The funny thing is that now i crave red sugar water....🤔

I always thought Hummingbirds are friendly. A woodpecker I would have believed...

Hummingbirds are very territorial, i have been nearly attacked several times. OTOH, last week a hummingbird decided to take a shower while i was watering the plants with a hose end sprayer.

I went fishing for the first time in a long time, I'm a little out practice. I tried a nice overhead cast and I apparently had too much line out. Those hooks are sharp...

I was trying to hint about the area of the bandage, and trying to link it with 'wood' / lumber/ timber/ Thick Undergrowth etc

Our humming birds are very friendly.

 Man found dead in gator-filled lake while searching for frisbees in Florida

 

 

A man died searching for Frisbees in a lake at a disc golf course where people are warned by signs to beware of alligators, police in Florida said Tuesday.

The unidentified man was looking for flying discs in the water and "a gator was involved," the Largo Police Department said in an email Tuesday. Emergency crews say it happened at John S. Taylor Park.

 

Can you read the sign?

 

Spoiler

 Gators cannot be tamed and feeding them can result in them mistaking a handout! Florida law prohibits the feeding or molesting of Alligators !!

This is such a random thought.

It's been a very cool spring, the weeds in the garden have taken over, the rain never quits. It's depressing. Tonight, after meeting, I took my dogs potty, and it's warm. I had to take off my coat. Oh my goodness it's warm. I love that. Now I can be outside, getting rid of weeds and slugs. Yay summer. Bring it on! Cucmber time!!

Sorry if I'm boring but I like simple things, love simple life.

Our winter is moving in. Snow in places that don't normally get snow. They are calling it a polar blast.

Indeed!  Extreme weather being the 'norm' is extremely weird.

At the meeting tonight a brother text me that his computer was getting hot. It sounded like it was working hard so I asked him if he had lots of windows open. He said no, but I can go open my door.....and he proceeded to get up to do it!. 

 

I called him and explained I meant windows on his computer!! 🤣🤣

At the 5:12 mark she says something I think is profound: "You can't wait until life isn't hard anymore, before you decide to be happy."

Yes, its unfortunate that she died recently.

Jane Marczewski, a singer known by her stage name Nightbirde, who earned a legion of followers after being a contestant on NBC’s “America’s Got Talent,” has died after a battle with cancer on February 20, 2022 - she was 31

 

Imagine how happy she will be if/when she is resurrected
