I went to a friend's funeral service. His daughter gave the eulogy and mentioned her father liked to measure twice and cut once. I started to think of my life and was immediately brought back in time to the moment I decided to fix a leaky garden house connection. It was outside a basement window (places we don't have in Florida to store things) We had a contractor remodel the basement to give our children additional space to play and torture one another. I looked at the faucet handle. It was outside the window. Surely no harm could occur if I tightened it. The pipe inside the basement window ran behind the wall, but the faucet handle was outside the basement window. Again I thought -no problem. I'll tighten it. It was Sunday evening. I took a wrench to hold the pipe steady. I took a plyers to tighten the handle. I slowly, ever so slowly, started to turn the handle- I'm sure you can guess the rest of the story. It broke off and somehow city water began to fill my basement. It didn't break outside the window as I had figured. Oh No! Sunday night ,water filling my basement at an alarming rate. What is my point. Oh yes, measure twice, cut once, I never do that. I rarely read directions, By the way-we ended up with a 6 inches of water in the basement.
Can you just imagine what websites and blogging is like for me? I look at my blogs and see I average about i comment per blog. I think they are wonderful. I think they are funny, interesting, informative. I should be on TV. Perhaps I should read directions. Perhaps I should study the manual. Naah. I'm too old. I forgot to mention why I average one comment per blog. I always make one comment to myself. I'm funny. I'm brilliant. I'm informative. If my wife ever knew I blogged, she'd disown me.
Aha This time I have remembered spell checker.
My comment will be you are funny and informative and I suggest you join a blogging group, shut up, and learn to blog.
