I remember when this fist came on and I caught it. I thought I was just watching some 1/2 hour entertainment until I could find something else. When the episode ended with a twist, I was flabbergasted. I couldn't wait to tell someone ...Hey, I just saw a show that was so good and the ending is like something I have never seen...

I'M IN IT NOW

You see, I just crossed over into the Twilight Zone...That was the whole point. It is a little snap shot of a persons life where things are not what they appear to be. It can end on a positive note, or a wake-up call. It can be church for some or it can be the other place. You are never the same for it. Visit the local market for food prices and you cross over into the (shopping Zone)

THE ZONE DELIVERS

Some guy lands on another planet and finds out that they too like zoos but with a twist (bizarre zone). Another guy crash lands on a desolate planet and finds the only other person around is a women (thank you zone). How about the perfect robbery turns out to be too perfect and what you stole has now lost its value (woe zone).

OH NO ZONE

Be careful what you ask for is a reoccurring theme because you get what you want, but with a twist here. You work hard for your money, buy a new car and you cannot afford the gas to run the car...(happening now Zone). You save your money, buy a home, make payments and the whole thing crashes (lost everything Zone)

 That's the signpost up ahead - your next stop....your own personal Zone

I have had escrows in the Zone (looks like it will close...but won't), Short Sales (Hell Zone), investors (greedy zone), clients (control zone), associates (friendly zone), and family & friends (come and go zone), business partners (full of surprise zone), teachers (shoot me zone) and the government (shoot them zone)....Here's a thought: Maybe they thought I was in the Twilight Zone..da da da da...da da da da.....da da da da da da...

Richie, I think we all crossed over when the end of the world was predicted last week, and actually taken seriously by some!

Sometimes there is so much information one has to decide to zone in or to just zone out. Selective zoning is the key to positive results.

Hi Richie - OH! That's what's going on! Thank you so much for explaining why my life took a weird turn a couple years back - I crossed over into the Twilight Zone and didn't realize it!   ;-)

What, no Rod Serling music with this? I loved that show & I catch it every once in awhile on an obscure channel. Like Dave said, it was ahead of it's time.

Jeanne...I believe those people were already dead, but wouldn't lie down. When the end of anyone's world comes, they will know it....For those that disagree, Hollywood came up with a prompt that they put on the close of every picture that came out....THE END...remember? Only then would people get up and walk out of the theater...

Glenn...will be your tour guide on Zone preferences....Glenn, there is occasion where one doesn't know until they are in it...but if they had a choice, I would sign up for your SELECTIVE ZONING class

Dave...he was the master of his own life ship...I love imitating him too. He was able to speak without moving his lips...always had the cigarette, and was the last thing you saw...before entering the The Twilight Zone...

Judy...welcome back and when you make a left or right turn in life, remember to come back or the next stop for you is...da da da da da....Right now, the "Zone" is filled up with tricky banks and lenders with investors waiting to get in...very busy place and no place for a lady Judy

Hi Lyn...I ask you to hum the tune because we are experiencing technical difficulties at this time namely I don't know how to add music to the post...
