I take long showers in the morning. Not because I like them so much, but because I want to postpone starting the day as long as possible. If the hot water never ran out, I'd probably never go to work.
Coffee is simply happiness in a mug.
No coffee, on the other hand, is the end of all existence, leaving the entire universe bereft of meaning and purpose.
I was going to start jogging today, but then I remembered that I own a car.
@SECRET_ASIAN_MAN I did a quick Google check on my phone during the conversation. 😁
Someone was complaining about gas prices and saying how they used to "only" pay 50 cents a gallon back in 1974. I pointed out that adjusted for inflation, that would be $3.32 today, and our current prices are $2.81. He didn't have a response. I think I may have broken something in his brain.
Whoever said nothing was impossible has obviously never tried to staple water to a tree.
I like think I'm out standing in my field. 😎
The first rule of Thesaurus Club is, you don't talk about, mention, speak of, discuss or chat about Thesaurus Club.
Always nice to see our local media devote time to the simple pleasures in life like gardening.
Not all news has to be bad.
@Warpspeed3 Getting older is required. Growing up, however, is still optional. 😁
Remember when we were kids and we were in such a rush to grow up and become adults?
Boy, was that stupid.
@janallmac Umm... I have a mailbox, as does every house in my neighborhood.
@p3R1n01D Just the usual: caffeine and antihistamines. 😎
Zip-a-dee-doo-dah, zip-a-dee-ay!
My, oh my, what a wonderful day.
Plenty of sunshine headin’ my way,
Zip-a-dee-doo-dah, zip-a-dee-ay!
When I see signs like this, I really wonder what went down that made someone think such a sign was necessary.
Childhood me would be very disappointed that adult me does not eat pizza and ice cream for every meal.
Getting into the Halloween spirit today. Either that, or descriptions of me being a monster before coffee are more correct than I would like to admit...
Women belong in the kitchen. Men belong in the kitchen. Everybody belongs in the kitchen. The kitchen has the food.
How to cook the perfect amount of spaghetti:
Step 1. Remove from box how much you think you need.
Step 2. Eliminate half the amount you thought you needed.
Step 3. Invite a friend over for spaghetti if you want to skip step 2
Is it Monday *again*? Sheesh, it feels like we just did this a week ago.
(grumbles) I need more coffee...
