I bought my wife a ride - and her best friend. I stayed on the ground!



Happy Anniversary! I am so glad that Rose convinced you to join. I really enjoy your articles (as few as they may be) and comments!



What happens to me after a healthy helping of beans.



I have rediscovered the great joy of limeade on a sweltering hot day working outside!



Like Intelligence, I dont think Common sense can be taught. It can be learned, but usually you either got it or you do not (I am in the latter group).



About once in a blue moon I get one - I guess that is why I love them so much!



Rose is a lucky lady! And you are a lucky man. The best to both of you!

Good to hear from you, mate.  'Bout time you actually wrote us an article. 

Very interesting article. I like the style. Hope DrGuy doesn’t mind I copy his reply.

Balloon

Never tried it and have never had the desire to do so. I love heights but hat air balloon rides are kinda scary considering you are at the winds mercy as oppose to a chopper who, while also at the winds mercy, is more controllable. Just my thoughts on balloon rides.

Anniversary

I lost track of mine since the system has never been able to tell me my exact tade I joined. When I first joined it said I had joined since more than a year before. I thought that was weird. Anyway, congrats on being on JU for so long. Great place, isn’t it?

Breaking Bad

Never heard of it. And would definitely avoid DrGuy after he eats beans. I wouldn’t mind having a TiVo, but that would mean I have to pay for cable/satellite service, can’t afford it right now. Oh well.

Lemonade

Oh I could go for some right about now but the closest thing right now to me is that Crystal Light thing you put in a bottle of water. Guess I’ll have to settle for now. Thanks to you now I see myself going to the store to get some lemons. Thanks a lot. LOL. I wonder how quick the Govt would shut us down if I put my kids to sell lemonade on the sidewalk. Then again I’d be more fearful of someone stealing their money or worse, kidnapping them.

Intelligence

What is that?

Naps

I take one once in a while on the weekends but with my kids home, it’s kinda pointless. Also I don’t like it much cause I end up sleeping more than I should then I go to sleep late at night. Besides, I’ll wait till I retie and take all the naps I want.

Gorgeous

Hah, I gave up on that long time ago. Some women wouldn’t believe they are gorgeous if Playboy gave them a photo shoot. It’s cool you still think your wife is gorgeous, I hope she knows you think that way. Women don’t always appreciate us guys.

  Awww! 

  I am a napper.  Actually except for my middle son my whole family are nappers. 

  I think common sense is sometimes more important than intelligence and I don't think it can be taught. 

  I'm not much of a writing critic but I think you are hilarious.  Your comments almost always make me laugh. 

  It's on my to do list to go on a hot air balloon ride someday.  I think the helicopter ride would be scarier. 

I have told you I'd like to, but maybe it's scarier than I think...lol.

I am glad that you decided to join in.   I love your wit...and yes, even your crazy humor. You definitely need to write more often.

I saw the first episode, which I thought was pretty interesting. Maybe I should try seeing it again.

Don't worry...we will definitely try that recipe.   I love me some lemonade, too.

Well, you know better than anyone that I lack some common sense.  I think I am not as bad as I used to be (and don't try to dispute this!).

I like naps.  I find myself not doing them right now since I am not working.  Once I head back to work later this summer, though, I think the habit will return.  Maybe I wouldn't need them if I got enough sleep, though.   I find myself napping several times a week during my work week.

I hate that some people look down on them, though (I have co-workers who think naps are for lazy people.  They don't use the exact word "lazy", but they might as well.  Maybe they're just ....jealous of us nappers...lol.

What a big, goofy smile this put on my face.   I am very lucky to have you, especially this past week with all this stuff going on with me.

 

Don't make a shit to me -I'd jump out of either one anyway   



I'm thinking...

bring out the gimp.

But the gimp's sleeping.

Then we're just gonna hafta wake him, ain't we?



Don't forget the Jose Cuervo!   



Nope. Ya either got it or ya don't.



Oh gah! Get a room you two!   

P.S. Cool ramble!

 

Awwwww...you two or so mushy and I love it!lol!  Rose you're gorgeous and don't forget it woman!

 

I've been meaning to go find that blog. I know I saw it but it disappeared!

 

Chris, it's good to read ya!  You are one of the good ones (writers - even though, yeah, you procrastinator you), so don't forget that too! 

 

Common sense....can it be taught?  Maybe, from the baby stages, it has to be developed if it is not easily acquired!  But your analysis is correct! [some smart people with degrees don't have it!]

 

My daughter used to take naps, up to her last few days in kindergarten, not anymore!  She's not a baby she tells me! That put me in my place!LOL!

 

Oh I love anything with Bryan Cranston! He's such a good character actor!  I loved, love Malcolm in the Middle! Cracks me up everytime and I enjoy the reruns!  I started watching Breaking Bad but didn't finish the season. Other shows got in the way!LOL! I'll probably have to go online to see if they have it or watch for the DVD.

 

BTW...Happy Anniversary!  I noticed mine past the other day too.....

 

[noticed my emphasis w/highlights?  I have an amusing article to share when I can make the time to sit and write it!]

I guess I didn't touch the balloons or the lemonade uh?  Well, I'm not sure, I might be scared in both an helicopter and a balloon ride!  I just tolerate flying in an aeroplane when I have to as it is!  As for lemonades...yummily refreshing on a very HOT day!

 

Happy Anniversary, my procrastinating friend on the other side of the world. Now, pull your finger out and send me some logos, will ya

I would love to go up in a hot air balloon, but get scared of heights. I've never been in a chopper but I don't think I'd have a problem with that, just so long as I concentrated on looking ahead and not down. But this would defeat the purpose, wouldn't it?

I'm going to have to keep a look out for 'Breaking Bad'. It sounds great.

I agree with you about intelligence and common sense. I believe common sense can be taught, to a certain extent. It reminds me of a quote by someone: "There is only one thing more painful than learning from experience and that is not learning from experience." I think common sense is the ability to learn from experience and mistakes and move forward. Those who don't, regardless of their degrees or whatever, will never be smart, as far as I'm concerned.

I'm a big fan of naps but rarely take them anymore. To be honest, I have so much energy these days, I just don't feel the need.

This is a great post, mate. Wouldn't it be nice if it got featured (hint, hint, adminstrators).

Happy Anniversary!

I think I would like to go up in a hot air balloon so I could watch Roy jump out...

Common sense...I wish it could be taught.

Naps are so delicious especially on a winter afternoon. Mexico has siestas..I think Italy does too, or did. Why shouldn't we?

Lemonade is yummy...and you and Rose make a lovely couple.

I don't have any desire to ride in a hot air balloon.  I mean, think about it...its a friggin balloon!  hahahah

I don't nap unless I'm sick or my thyroid medication needs tinkered...in fact, that is one of my warning signs...napping.

Common sense...all I can say is, sometimes I feel like a nut, sometimes I don't.  heh.  My husband swears I am missing the common sense gene when it comes to things like safety.....but I'm learning.

I think its awesome you think Rose is beautiful. 

Not a big lemonade fan unless there is something a bit stronger in it.

Loved the article.....personal blogging yeah!

Happy JU Anniversary.

Doc,

Rose mentioned she would like to try a balloon ride. Maybe I could pay for it and stay on the ground, too.

 

Thanks, Doc. Believe it or not, I actually been more active here this year. That's how inactive I was last year.

 

  The older I get it seems even oxygen makes me break bad.

 

Thanks, Doc. You are so right about being lucky. Rose is very lucky.

SC,

Thanks, mate. You know somedays it's great to be heard from.

 

No kidding.

Charles,

It is weird. But maybe you're counting the exact date as the date you wrote your first article and JU counts it as the date you first signed up.

 

Oops sorry.

Rose and I actually bought some lemonade from a lemonade stand the other day. Some kids were selling it for fifty cents a cup. It was store bought but it being cold and it being hot out it tasted pretty good.

 

Don't wait too long or the only one you'll take is that long dirt nap.

 

When a woman is feeling insecure it doesn't mean she doesn't appreciate you. Plus a lot of times men don't appreciate what they have.

Loca,

See, I like that. I wish I took more naps. Every now and then I do and i feel so good.

 

I think the same way. Can you imagine how much better the world would be if everyone had common sense.

 

Thanks so much.

 

Helicopter rides are so much fun. I doubt if I would have any fun on a hot air balloon ... unless maybe if I was drunk.
