Random thoughts...

Heather75

Sometimes I think of things and I would like to post my random thoughts here. Feel free to do the same.

Okay. So today, while walking to the gym, I noticed that the street didn't smell very good - kind of like if someone was drinking urine, suddenly realised it, vomited and then tried to clean it up with a rotting fish they happened to have in their pocket. I thought to myself, I wish it would rain and you know what? IT RAINED. I made it rain. Then I thought to myself again, only this time the thought was what if everyone only gets one wish that comes true and instead of wishing for a pet giraffe or money to buy a pet giraffe or something equally cool, I wasted my wish on stupid rain? Then, I realised that there is no way that kind of power would ever be left in my hands by what or who is in charge of that sort of thing, and I felt better. I'll sleep tonight!

now everytime i wish for something im going to add and that i had a pet california kingsnake and a million dollars-ex. i really wish it would rian- and that i had a million dollars and a california kingsnake. thats right- i beat the system! lol jk

oh and some thoughts of my own- whats with all the haters and form trolls? its really bugging me and making me sad

oxFaithxo

Haha you are a funny one! :laugh:

Heather75

sexygenius, you only beat the system if the wishes come true like mine did. My wish took about 2 hours. Yours might take longer because of the complexity.

Something else I was thinking - If you ever want to celebrate a skunk's birthday, whatever you do, don't throw them a surprise party. It will be a disaster.

Why do most packages of hot dogs come in 10, but most packages of the hot dog buns come in 8?

sexygenius

so that the low carb people at the barBQ dont throw a fit! lol jk

Why are cherries so expensive? They are fruit - not gemstones.

sexygenius

i know right!!! and mangos too!!! have you ever seen how much friut one mango tree produces? they should be cheaper than apples!

Okay, I have a coleslaw theory. (Since this is a general theory, you must eliminate the people that LOVE coleslaw and the people that HATE coleslaw...they don't count for obvious reasons.)

If you are at a restaurant that offers you coleslaw or a variety of other things as a side dish, most people will tend to lean to the "something else." That said, if you are brought coleslaw as an automatic side dish, most people will tend to eat some or all of it.

It's almost like coleslaw is a dish that most people don't really want, but are totally fine with eating if they are presented with it on their plate.

Coleslaw is the Pluto of the food world...you get to count as food, but a bunch of people don't really want you.

Poor coleslaw...

I am also fascinated by the pschology behind the sticks you put between orders at the grocery store and other places. Many times, I don't put the stick between my order and the person in front of me to see what they will do. I could leave 3 feet of empty belt between their food and mine, doesn't matter...

They will undoubtedly look at the empty space with a slightly panicked expression and -- 9 times of out 10 -- will put that stick between our purchases. Even when there is no doubt that our stuff is not together.

It's like a compulsion.

I could go on with random stuff for days...

The reason for putting the stick in between is because not all cashiers are smart ones! LOL!

That is unless you live in the south then they put the coleslaw on hamburger and hotdogs. I was so confused when I was at a potluck and they offered it to me.

Another thing - Do you think that homo erectus, for example, or any of our ancestors kept their fingernails smooth? I ask because when we have a catch in a nail, it's really, really irritating - almost like an itch in that you are compelled to do something about it. I challenge you to go for an entire day with a jagged fingernail. It will make you crazy, and not only because it will catch on everything.

I agree about poor coleslaw. It's a C-list side-dish that nobody took to the side-dish prom. Boiled potatoes would have gone with coleslaw, but they were to shy to ask...

When someone is driving under the speed limit in the left hand lane, why do they give me a dirty look when I'm forced to pass them on the right?

I hope I am doing this correctly--I haven't quite figured out this posting stuff...
Please do not wish for rain anymore--I want to go out and do some gardening here in Oregon. Right now I would trade all this rain for TWO pet giraffes!

Heather75

I don't have to wish for it anymore because it already rained. I'll happily take the 2 giraffes you offered, though...

Why -- when waiting for an elevator or at a corner to cross the street -- do people feel the need to push the button several times because things aren't happening fast enough? Especially when they see the button has already been pushed. No, the speed of the thing is not in direct proportion to how many times the button was pushed.

This is obviously people that need to fill the time with something, as standing there waiting is just too difficult.

PS I'm in Los Angeles -- there must be no one wishing for rain here or the prayers are just going unheard. And the always-fabulous 100+ degree "it's a dry heat" weather will soon be upon us.

Heather75

I hate that too. Especially when someone sees that you have pressed it and immediately presses it again. Do they think I didn't press it correctly? Did they take a special button-pressing course that makes them so much more effective at pressing buttons than the rest of us?

I wonder why refrigerators are magnetic.

Even better when the cashier comes to the end of the person in front of you's stuff... picks up the stick... slides the stick into the little slot... and then asks the person if that's the end of their stuff.... :noway:

Or how about when you are in a waiting room and no one sits in the chair next to a stranger. They would rather stand if needs be than to sit in a chair next to a stranger. I love to see how uncomfortable people get when you sit down next to them. Sometimes they even get up and walk away. :laugh:

Ok, how bout this one.. I'm getting closer to becoming a millionare each time I play the lotto. Each week, another number I pick comes up in the draw. Last night, I got 3 numbers out of 6!!! I won $11

So pretty much at this rate, in 3 weeks I will be wealthy rich and then will kick myself in the *kitten* for not playing sooner.

Especially when it is lit!

The one thing that always made me feel stupid is when I'm at the Doctor's office and he walks in and asks "how are you doing today?' "Well I'm doing wonderful Doctor that's why I had to take a day off work and come in here and tell you" duh...

I hate having a name at the beginning of the alphabet... the main line for my office simply has a dial by name feature (no operator LOL)... and guess who telemarketers always pick to dial... the ONE person who is ALWAYS at the beginning of the list. :explode: :explode: :explode:

If you are a telemarketer - please scroll down the list to someone else once in awhile. :grumble:

I cannot believe that Dog the Bounty Hunter and his wife are doing so much better than I am financially. I mean, she says "drug attic" and he has to be the absolute KING of malapropisms. They are stupid. I am not. They are wealthy. I am not.

I can't beleive that popping out abnormal amounts of kids can get you a tv show and make you famous.

How did anyone not know that Freddie Mercury was gay? It's so obvious, in retrospect...
