Random Thoughts
There was a police chase in my neighborhood and down my street at 1:00 am this morning! What the heck did I do with my cordless drill? I was using it last night to take apart an old medicine cabinet and it's gone. All my roses are starting to open - all 34 bushes!! The helpful people at Home Depot are not very helpful. Especially when you bring in the side light part from a retro medicine cabinet and tell them you want to rewire it and they say why don't you just replace it? Pella windows are big bucks! I hate trees and all the crap that falls from them. Last, but certainly not least, Belle is the sweetest, politest sheepie girl ever!

| Continuing on your random thoughts:
This morning was the 1st Annual Kansas Doodle Romp. Everyone brought their Doodles, but Molly was one of the few Goldendoodle. If coffee comes from beans, can we call it a vegetable? There's a guy that works at Dillons who looks just like Mario from Super Mario Brothers. I've always longed for a cowboy hat. Did you know that dog's get sweaty paws when they're distressed. After driving the same car for 3 years, I just realized it has a back window defroster. My cat doesn't have front claws but she still tries to sharpen them on the couch. How do I change the ink cartridge in my printer? Food always tastes better when it's on someone else's plate. There's nothing more boring than someone telling you their dream from last night. And there's nothing more annoying than someone talking on their cell phone in a waiting room. An accent can give even the most unattractive men charm. I have sort of a love-hate relationship with milk. Do you ever get a little nervous when you see a pregnant woman taking a walk? I'm afraid she'll give birth at any moment. I find plastic silverware somewhat disconcerting. And there's something that really angers me about onions. |
| My turn:
Why is it that things don't break until right after the warranty expires? I called the dog groomer I found a couple of months ago...He was wonderful!! He is no longer there..typical. Why is it when I really need a nap and lie down with the baby does she only sleep an hour instead of her normal 3 hrs? Why does baby formula stain everything? My 7 yr old son must be in training for who wants to be a millionare? You should hear the crazy questions he has for me. Why do only my bigs dogs step on my feet when I am barefoot? Is barking at 2 am when the A/C comes on really necessary? Hanging clothes out to dry in the desert is wonderful...unless you are having a sand storm And what bothers me the most... Why does my husband wear underwear under his bathing suit? |
| Okay my turn....
My husband got upset after I shaved his head and missed a spot...I like grooming Panda better..she doesnt get upset with a bad haircut... Why do people call you at your office and ask if youre open??? I answered the phone, didnt I?? Why does Panda have to drool all over the wood floors right after I am done washing them..... Im hot,hot, hot...we dont have a pool..I want a pool...I actually want the day off!!! Why cant my husband put dirty dishes in the dishwasher? Why does he complain about what I make for dinner when he never cooks or grocerey shops??? I m addicted to shoes...I cant stop buying them I love real flowers and plants, but cant keep them alive I love the smell of pinesol, keep it in a squirt bottle, and spray it over anything I can... My friends think I am off my rocker because Id rather go home to Panda, than go out with them I cant lose a lousy 8lbs, I feel gross and if we had our own pool, I wouldnt have to be seen in public, in a bathing suit!!!! |
| Does anyone over 21 understand rap music?
Why do I have to pay to keep my number out of the phone book? If chocolate is so bad for you why do they make it taste so good? Whatever happened to good manners? Why is a touchdown worth 6 points? Why do I spend so much time looking for things I just put down? Why is mauve a different color to different people? |
| Why is it that one small group can complain about something and get the government to change the laws, yet the majorities opinion doesn't change anything?
Why is it that people complain more about other people than they do about themselves? Why do we complain, yet do nothing to try to change what we're complaining about? Why does the mailman come early, except on the day you get your check? Why do we continue to do the things that cause us to say, "I'll never do that again!" Why do OES run through the mud, yet refuse to go out the door while it's raining? Why do the people that work at fast food windows ask you what you want, when they know they're going to give you what they want you to have? Why does someone have to get sick or die, before we'll go see them? It's too hot in the summer and too cold in the winter, if we called winter summer, and summer winter, would be comfortable then? If we don't get in the tub, why do dogs think we want a bath too? Why do they say the odds of getting a winning scrath off ticket is 1 out of 5, when you had to buy 6 to finally get a winner? Why is it that my sink is full of dishes, and I'm sitting here doing this? lol |
| ME too! But I have mostly questions...
Can saltine crackers be low sodium? Why is it called chatting when noone actually speaks to each other? Why does Donald Duck wear just a shirt all the time but when he gets out of the shower, the towel is wrapped around his waist? Could Orlando Bloom get any hotter? Why won't anyone do the Chicken dance any more? Where is Jil's cordless drill? Why is everyone in the fast food drive through window indignant and why can't they get your order right? (Come on, it's not rocket science!) Can we impose legislation for the mullet? When will they start showing croquet on ESPN? How come older people have the reaction time of snails when driving but put a bingo dobber in their hands and they can fill 65 cards in seconds? Last but Certainly not least... Why do you answer the phone, "9-1-1..." and people ask, "Is this 9-1-1?" (And why is it so wrong to be sarcastic to them?!?) |

I'll just have to make James cut the grass and that's like pulling teeth. floofdog wrote: There was a police chase in my neighborhood and down my street at 1:00 am this morning! I love how it's necessary for full sirens blazing too. During the day they don't use the sirens to run the red lights that they don't feel like waiting for. floofdog wrote: The helpful people at Home Depot are not very helpful. Especially when you bring in the side light part from a retro medicine cabinet and tell them you want to rewire it and they say why don't you just replace it? Home Depot sucks. After building the patio, I came to the realization that most of the people that work there are rude and really don't want to help you at all. On my last trip there, when I asked for help, the guy said-- no lie-- "Maybe you can just find someone else to help you" and then walked over to talk to some guy he knew. I now recommend the Lowes in Southfield-- 12 and Telegraph. I had a good experience there. floofdog wrote: Pella windows are big bucks! I'd love to rant with you but I don't know what those are. However,I do have a window story: Some moron was going door to door selling windows last week and said to me, "I noticed your windows are really out of date and a lot of them should be replaced." I just stared at the girl for a good 10 seconds in silence and said "You do realize that this house is only a little over a year old, right?" Reply: "Well, yeah, but sometimes the windows are older." How silly of me. I forget the the windows are the first thing to go up after the basement is poured, before the frame or the drywall. I considered telling her that but just closed the door instead. floofdog wrote: I hate trees and all the crap that falls from them. Holy crap, I hate trees these last 2 weeks. I hate helicopters and I really hate those wanna be burrs that are dropping all over the new patio, my cars and imbedding themselves into Clyde. Thanks to the trees alone, I get to vacuum 3 times a day. Clyde came in with a full goatee of them this morning and they were firmly held in place by the mud that he was eating. floofdog wrote: Last, but certainly not least, Belle is the sweetest, politest sheepie girl ever!
I'll buy that. Lucy gets to be the sweetest, most polite Beardie/Briard ever. Clyde's pretty cool too but he swears a lot in public. 
Oh, and I didn't take your drill. 
Jill By the way, what's going on next weekend for MI people? |
| Random Thoughts:
Why do people come over unexpectedly when the dogs have just spread the garbage all over the kitchen floor, the vaccuum has died and I answer the door wearing the oldest clothes? 
Why do both my parents have blue eyes and curly hair as do my siblings, while I have green/hazel eyes and straight hair? Tries to remember what the village mailman looked like.
Why did Blue decide at that very moment I placed the tray of white oil based primer paint to race into my bedroom and step in it!!! The very moment I had climbed the step ladder and couldn't catch him as he raced away...leaving white doggie footsteps on the rose colored carpets? 
Why did I once decide as a Criminology student (whom was hired by the police dept one summer) to buy a huge freshly caught salmon as a way of saying "thanks" at the end of my term and leave it on the Police Chief's desk? Only to find out that after I left his office it was locked until his return for his 2 wk vacation!
Why did 10 years later I attend a Telethon and the organizer introduced me to her husband...whom was the former Police Chief and he did indeed remember me and the reason his office was painted.
Why this twist of fate did I once phone sub finder (the automated telephone service which finds a substitute teacher out of the 900 people on the list) only to find out that it chose someone(Tracy S) I hadn't seen in 27 years since childhood to work as my replacement? Return to work and people ask me if I remember Tracy as she recognized my name ...then run into her in a store the very next day? In a city of over 2 million! Visit a friend 3 days later for coffee and she mentions she's invited another friend and it turns out to be Tracy! 
Why Me? I once was in a bank that was robbed and made to lay on the floor while he pointed the shotgun at me while he took the money from the tellers. 
I once was in an elevator that suddenly fell 11 stories before it stopped it's fall before it hit the ground floor, leaving me and an old man in a crumpled heap onto the floor and it opened to suprised people awaiting the elevator.
I once inexplicably changed lanes on the freeway and then my son and I watched a 8 car pileup occur in the lane I had just moved over from...weird as it sounds with all those events I don't feel unlucky but lucky. 
>>>More Random Thoughts Why does Pluto bark and chase chipmunks and Goofy is able to drive a car? Where is Jil's cordless drill? Why did my dentist decide to use a brand new product when he applied fake buck teeth when I was in a pilot project for a kids tv show?( I was playing a goofy hillbilly character) For 45 mins he and the assistant looked horrified while they banged and tried to pry off the fake buck teeth that appeared permanently glued to my front teeth. Why did I once say to a woman I met the week before " I feel silly but I forget your name". She responded with,,,,,you should feel silly it's the same as yours. HAAAAAAAAAAAAAA Why does it seem my comedy is carrying over into my real life? Marianne |
| Ummmmm Jil, I might have your cordless drill
Can you describe it please? |
| As a cashier who frequently mans four of those new automated scanning stations: why do women with 3 kids let their brood learn to use the thing at lunch time when there 6 people waiting to get in and out.
And why do drive up cashiers at fast food restaurants put the bills in your hand first then the change, so the change falls off on the pavement and you're too close to the building to open the door and pick up your change. And Home Depot service in St. Louis is just like everywhere else. And why do weathermen keep telling us its going to rain when they've been wrong for the last two weeks. And why do I have to vacuum the house again; I just finished doing it 2 weeks ago. And no, Jill, I don't have your drill, but I have an extra one you can borrow. |

Why do people chose to have their first experience with the self check-out when they have a huge cart load of groceries? Why don't people who use the self check out realize that the little sticker on the fruit has the code number on it - no reason to check with the cashier for the number every time! Does the grocery store mind that my primary reason for going through the self check-out station is to swipe extra plastic bags for my walks with Bailey? And Jil - you'll find the cordless drill as soon as you go out to Home Depot, negotiate the un-helpful staff and buy yourself another one! At least, that's the way it always works for me! Sue |
| Okay Marianne, You just really scared the x%#@* out of me....elevator??...11 floors??? Holy Cow!!! and everyone makes fun of me because I hate those things, Id rather walk up stairs. Do you still get on them????? I actually have dreams of falling elevators, yuck..Im glad youre okay!! |

We have a sign: limit 20 items. So far my record has been 38 items one customer stuffed into 3 plastic bags. Of course the highest and best use (I'm a retired real estate appraiser) of plastic bags is to collect doggie dodo. My trash man gets one each week. |

And why do I have to vacuum the house again; I just finished doing it 2 weeks ago. OMG, why do cashiers give you the bills first??? And I totally agree about the vacuuming!! 
ps - I found the drill! Anyone care to guess where it was, LOL?!?! |

Hmmm, near a phone? That's my #1 interruption. |
| Why does it always rain when you have something planned?
Why do deployments have to be so long? It just seems like they would rotate them more frequently. Why are the National Guard doing full-time duties, leaving their full-time, higher paying jobs behind, but yet, they get almost no benefits? My husband thinks allowing them to start collecting their retirement checks after 20 years like Active Duty (instead of at age 65) would be enough. 
Why is my husband deployed more in the Air National Guard than he ever was in the Air Force. He accepted a civil service position and joined the Guard so he could stay at home more when we started our family. Funny how that worked out! He wanted to go back into active duty, and they won't let him now since he's prior service! Why do toddlers think the toilet is the best spot to hide things? Why does Jasper think the toilet is his personal water dish? Why do hotdogs come 10 to a pack, but hot dog buns are only 8 to a pack? Guess the other two are meant for the family pet.
Will gas prices actually stay below $2/gallon? I hope so! Why do I actually like being a mini-van mom now, when it was something I dreaded just a couple of years ago? Why do some people think that just because I'm a stay at home mom, I have no higher education? Why do some people think that I'm wasting my education because my husband and I both decided that I should be a stay at home mom? Why do kids have to grow up so fast? I still can't believe my oldest son turned 4 this week! He'll be starting kindergarten next year. ~sniff, sniff~ Why do I miss midnight feedings, changing diapers, rocking my babies to sleep now that they're older and a little more independent. Especially the changing diapers...I shouldn't miss that now that they're both potty trained! lol |
| I think the military ought to pay their reservist soldiers their full-time civilian pay if a deployment lasts longer than a certain amount of time, say 2 or 3 months.
This would make the military a lot less willing to call up reservists, and would hopefully prevent reservists' families from going bankrupt due to a deployment. That's my uneducated "opinion". |
| You all have me in STITCHES!!!!!!!! I haven't had time to read this til this morning.
Jill, my honey-Doug, has your drill (I'm sure of it). He always takes my tools and never returns them!  |
| Why do people say "raining cats and dogs"? When did that actually happen?
Would anyone really eat a dinner of liver, brussel sprouts and coconut cake? Did the expression holy cow come from India? They aren't from Denmark so why are they called danish pastry? How does Rosco get muddy feet if it hasn't rained in weeks? Why does Daisy feel the need to lick the window I just cleaned? When will Jil tell us where her drill was? Why do deer eat the only things that will grow in the shade? |
Actually, I LOVE brussel sprouts and coconut cake..............  |
| The drill was . . . .
in . . . the . . . medicine cabinet!! You know, close at hand, but not in the way! |
| HEHEHE...that's where I keep my hammer and chisel |
