Nonsense For Sure

Give a man a fish, he'll eat for a day. At least that's what I hear. Teach a man to fish and he'll sit in a rowboat fishing and drinking beer! When advised to "fight fire with fire" please think about it twice. Remember, firemen fight fire with water so I kinda question that advice! I'm told the way to get ahead is by using your ambition. They say "shoulder to the wheel, nose to the grindstone". However, now try working in that position! Don't believe in superstition. Folks will think you are a schmuck. Besides if you believe in it it's gonna bring bad luck! I try to avoid a lot of things, that will cause me degradation. I can resist most anything, that is, except temptation! I always try my very best not to make mistakes In fact if wasn't for my faults, I'd be perfect for goodness sakes! These are some of the random thoughts that keep running through my mind. It's just a lot of nonsense, but it sure helped me unwind. (Soupers - Sorry you chose to read this nonsense. Surely you must have something better to do! Thanks anyway.)

LOL :) Fighting fire with fire? Always bad advice. As for working while keeping your shoulder to the wheel and nose to the grindstone, I can't think of one occupation that could require such a position. You really make me laugh, Ralph. Thanks for stopping by. Love, Carolyn
