Here are just a few of my random thoughts. Most of them are original with me. A few are quotes of things I have heard over the years. There is no theme to this.
Take your walks when the sun is low in the sky. Your shadow is tall and thin then.
Harvest gold and avocado green are colors that can come back to bite you!
If you think that you are profound, you are probably not.
If you think it is important, you should probably do it. What other people think does not matter.
Some people do not understand a 57 year old’s desire to hang with a rock band.
It can be a shock to pass a mirror and see yourself. Who is that old person?
When I was young, I was thin. I am still thin. My body just doesn’t remember.
Cats purr so that they can do annoying things and humans will think it is cute. Who said that animals can’t think?
Wouldn’t it be nice if you could clean your house once and then hermetically seal it?
I believe in recycling. I have to pay bills today.
Why do we have speed limits? It just makes other drivers mad when you observe them.
I don’t have a solution, but I certainly admire the problem.
Why?
Why not?
When the people around you are annoying, it is good to remember that you are annoying, too.
If.
Is it really that important?
Potatoes really are comforting.
When you want to crawl into a hole and pull the hole in after you, you shouldn’t.
Everyone needs to do nothing sometimes. I need to do it a lot.
Isn’t it wonderful that we are different?
Isn’t it aggravating that we are different?
If the problem does not belong to you, you cannot solve it.
The mother of the groom should wear beige and keep her mouth shut at the wedding. A mother-in-law should do that for her entire life.
If you check my house for dust, you deserve to get your hands dirty.
It really is better not to worry about things that you can’t control.
It is good to remember that we cause our own feelings.
It is good to remember that we are not responsible for the feelings of others.
Parents are guides.
Just because it is important to me, that does not make it important to you.
The fact that I raised you does not give me the right to raise your children.
People who want you to think that they are smarter than you are probably aren’t.
Santa Claus needs a key these days.
Have a great weekend!

I have a notebook full of things like this that I have heard over the years in restaurants or bars or other public places. I used to embarrass my kids by writing things in my notebook in public places. Not just children say the “darndest” things. I think red kitchen appliances will join the harvest gold and avocado eventually.
i love this one! When I was young, I was thin. I am still thin. My body just doesn’t remember.!!! lol!!!
ryc: we moved a year ago to a different state and i gave up my job at the school where i had worked for 18 years… in the middle of the building of the actual part of the project. plus, when it opens next fall, they will use it for a different school completely and not move our teachers and admin back into the building. we have no say in who they put there or who returns there. not fair, i know, but politics can stink sometime.
Nancy you are a mine of sayings !!! So you can answer to every problem !!!
Love

If the problem does not belong to you, you cannot solve it.
Man I need to write that one in the dust around here!
I like the one about people who think they are smarter
.We live about 13 miles from Liverpool city centre , it only takes about 15 mins on the train
Good list! I’m identifying with the annoying one this week.
Plenty of laughs and uh-huhs in that list… yeah, I’m annoying, too, but at least I have the distinction of being more annoying than most.
Hi, just happened upon your site! Great list! “If you think you are profound, you’re probably not”…that’s my favorite!
Have a great weekend!
I love looking at my skinny shadow on a late afternoon walk.
P.S. I just read your entry about death, and I agree that the medical profession seems to view death as an aberration rather than the ultimate end for us all, and that our culture fears death because we do not value life.
I love reading quotes. These are awesome!
You betcha, potatoes are comorting, I cannot get my fill!
I love those red appliances and had some along with the sage green carpeting and gold curtains with little red and gold matching flowers on the vinyl floor in the kitchen of my first house. That was many years ago! Yes, I love those one liners. Always one for everyone!
Glad you shared these! I cannot believe we ever liked avocado green, harvest gold, etc-YUCK! Love the one about rock bands–still love ‘em. ryc: I agree, something needs to be done about bush–like impeachment. Energy in and of people is so interesting. Have a good Sunday!
great post have a nice week.
I enjoyed the memory of harvest gold and avocado green! Boy, whoever came up with those should have been shot–maybe they were!! LOL
Here’s another one– Just because I raised my children doesn’t mean I want to raise theirs.
Fun blog. Thanks, Nance!
ryc: i don’t know how’d you’d know a fish was brain damaged. maybe they swim backwards or something? but those two little guys are doing fine! i haven’t seen a heron in my pond yet. i’m not sure we have heron here. we do have road runners that run thru the back yard, but i don’t know if they eat fish, either. i’ve seen them eating fries at McDonald’s so maybe they aren’t picky!
I like these quotes, they are so FUNNY!!!! HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!!!!!!!!!
