a few more random thoughts.

I'm often a bit scared when exiting a Microsoft Word document and it asks me if I want to save any changes, of my 24 page document, when I swear I didn't make any changes at all.

"Do not machine wash or tumble dry" means that this garment will never be clean.

I hate being the one with the remote control in a room full of people watching TV. There's so much pressure. "I love this show, but will they judge me if I keep it on? I bet everyone is wishing we weren't watching this. It's only a matter of time before they all get up and leave the room. Did they want to watch CMT?"

Isn't it awful when you leave the house "looking your very best" and then you don't run into anyone you know the entire day!?

Why is a school zone 20mph? Doesn't that seem like the optimal cruising speed for pedophiles?

Even if I knew your social security number, I wouldn't have a clue what to do with it.

Under ideal conditions, I have a lot of trouble putting my fingers on my car keys. Jacket pocket?? On my desk?? Jeans pocket?? But you can bet your ass that I can hit the snooze button from 3 feet away in a nanosecond, eyes closed, first time, every time.

Do you think policemen get irritated, 'cause everyone in the world drives the exactly speed limit (or slower) when driving in front of them?

Who voted and decided that the freezer doesn't deserve a light?

Why is there Braille on my drive-up ATM?

Thanks for making me laugh, my freezer has a light. Have a great day, I hope you dressed your best.

LMAO. I especially liked the school zone thought, Alan. I never thought of it like that. And I'm certainly not a fan of holding the remote in a room full of people. Especially if Pro-Wrestling is on:)

Hi Alan. Nice observations.

You had been quiet the last few days...

Never wondered about the Braille at the ATM, until now.

Thanks for writing,

Ken

Why is it that folks can go right to the front of the drug store to buy cigarettes, but must labor all the way to the back to get a prescription filled?

Also, don't you find it more disconcerting when you think you look your best and Mrs. Elvis says to you, "Are you going out like that?"!!!

Ahhhh, life.

Mike - your freezer has a light?? What will they think of next?

Jason - I know... my son-in-law is always hoping I'll change to the Country Music Channel

Ken - I've been "missing in action" for the last few days..

Craig - Mrs. Elvis says that "every" day! It was more disconcerting when my girls took up the calling... "Dad, you're not going to wear that tie with that shirt are you!?"

I feel your pain my friend.

Where did we go wrong?!!!

I dunno, Craig. I see anchormen wearing exactly what I was sent back upstairs to change.

A striped tie, on a windowpane shirt.

Hi Alan, I wondered about many of those things LOL I do love to irritate the Sheriff's Deputy, though, and drive under the speed limit he always gets annoyed and passes me by.

You know I am always a fan of hearing a collection of random thoughts, this is the sort of thing that runs through my head all day anyway.

Bgpic11142008103101_l Featured in M.A.N.C.R.O.W CONGRATS!

Alan these are all way more important of questions than the meaning of life! Love it.

I laughed out loud, or I was nodding my head yeah. I just discovered M.a.n.c,r.o.w.

LOL.... Thanks, Alan... I needed a good laugh this afternoon!

Mary - we all wonder... and good for you, thinking about the Sheriff's well-being.

I can't even imagine all the things running through that melon, JL. Thanks for the feature.

Charles - you know it.

Deborah - you will love visiting M.a.n.c.r.o.w. Stop by frequently.

Jesse - glad I could provide a laugh.

Alan...

You always make me laugh ... thanks for some more thoughts to ponder!

Dear Alan,

Thanks for the giggle. BTW- my fave was #3, it happens to me everytime. I guess I should get out more. FYI- My freezer has a light too.

Thanks Alan I needed a laugh today. It has been a long one. I guess the braille on the ATM is for those vans I see driving around for the window treatment guys you know the ones they say caution Blind Man driving.

Alan - #1 - This happens to me all the time! Also on one of my adobe programs and every time I tell my monitor "I didn't make any changes!" - LOL. ~Rita

Hysterical, Alan. I love the braille one too.

Hi Alan,

These are great!! Thanks for sharing and making us laugh! I do not have a light on my freezer (the stand alone kind) and I never thought about the braille on the ATN!

Richard - I do what I can.

Betina - it happens to the best of us

Larry - hoo ahhh!

Rita - doesn't it make you nervous each and every time

Jane - yep the braille one is beyond belief.

Dorie - well, now... you won't stop thinking about it.

Alan:

You never cease to amaze me with your wit and wisdom.

When I find a policeman is driving behind me I immediately pull either into the slow lane or off the road completely. It's called extreme paranoia.

OCT

Claudette - there's not much out there that'll make you gasp like suddenly finding a policeman in your rear view mirror.

Alan, these are some very profound thoughts today! I especially hate when a policeman passes me going the speed limit! I am sure your observation of them is right on center!

OCT

My husband has problems finding his keys, his sunglasses, his wedding ring, watch, just about everything. I've tried for many years to get him to keep them all in one place. Walk in the door and the first thing you do is put that kind of stuff in the exact same place every time. Finally, I bought him a jewelry box and a portfolio. He hasn't had any problems finding anything since July 18, 2009. Why I didn't do that 15 years ago is beyond me.............

Caren - yep, I also hate when I see them go through a red light...without their emergency lights on... makes me want to chase them down and perform a Barney Fife-style "Citizen's Arrest".

Russel - a place for everything, and everything in it's place.
