Hootin' Anni's Day Trippin'

[graphic made by me]


I LOVE this kinda stuff to read about. All the time!!


Which brings me to my Thursday 13 list.
Perhaps there IS life beyond our solar system. With the scientist discovery of another planet circumnavigating it's own star, so similar to our sun...is it possible? I've always been told that ANYthing is possible. I digress. I'm thinking aloud again....it's a curse. I'm sure I'm flying off course, and just jotting down my thoughts about 'possibles' and other blathering ideas running around in my head today. But---

1] If everything is possible, why don't apples that drop off to the ground reattach themselves to tree branches?

2] If everything is possible, then would it be possible to have something that is impossible?

3] If everything is possible, then, why can't humans grow feathers and fly?

4] Is it possible to have everyone coming your way without driving in the wrong direction on a one-way street?

5] Is it possible for accidents to cause people?

6] Did you know that I know you don't know a farmer who lives so far from us, his zip code is E I E I O.

7] I'm sure Noah, if he had a bumper sticker on his ark, it'd read "Scattered Showers my Ass". [he had two you know]

8] If everything's possible, then we should be able to eat as MUCH as we want, and not gain!

9] Traveling at the speed of slow, aliens from the other solar system in the news reel linked above, in ships that are slower, are idiots. Traveling at the speed of sound --& everyone else gives you the fly-by finger [long GREEN finger!], is a maniac.

10] When at first I DO succeed, I try my hardest not to look surprised!!

11] When I worked, I always gave 100%! 12% Mon. 25% Tues. 40% Wed. 20% Thurs. , and only 3% on Fri--it's 'casual day'!!

12] Growing up, I was told that anyone born here can be president...I am beginning to believe it.

13] When all else fails, panic now, avoid the rush!!

If you're a frequent visitor here, you may remember last week I wrote about the book I was about to begin reading. "A Redbird Christmas" by Fannie Flagg. I finished it Wednesday night, and wanted to comment on it. First off, as I stated last week, I like Ms. Flagg's style. I've always liked her persona. She is, I believe, a 'down-home' gal. So, now the book....

It too is 'down-home'!! It's a definite feel good read. There is some humor, some small town talk, friendships that come and go, and come again. But one most interesting character for me ---well, let me put it this way--- TWO important characters here. Patsy, an orphaned girl that melts the hearts of this small town....AND Jack, the red bird! If you want to read an uplifting short book, that eventually creates a belief in miracles, you won't be disappointed.

I just hate it when people feel they have to preach to one another....that their ideas, beliefs, and values are BETTER than anyone elses! There are just too many like this, and life is too short to go around like a blathering fool creating havoc and upsetting some. What happened to "love thy neighbor" *shrug*

I say: If you can't leave cruel words out of a comment on a blog, or something that is degrading to the blog's author IN ANY WAY ---don't say anything...

While I was leaving a comment to a very nice blogger, as I was typing in the small comment pop up window, I could see with my peripheral vision the last comment left there---here's what I read:


"I can't get into your TT site--have tried many times. The TT hub is also a problem. So I've posted this on mine:

"If you're using the free BLOGGER.COM to make money from your blog efforts, PLEASE DON'T. Pay for a program that will support all the winky, blinky ads, because I'm tired of having my computer crash when I visit your site to leave a comment!" "

How can one be so blatantly cruel towards another? How can anyone think their way or their thoughts are perfect, or the only way? Preaching in ANY shape, way, or form is just frustrating and hurtful in my mind. Even tho it wasn't left in my blog comments, I can't help but feel that it's upsetting to others. And I can't help myself wonder just why this LADY [yes, it was a lady's name and blog profile from the link of the comment author] ---why does this lady continue to return if it continues to crash her computer? Instead of leaving such hurtful words ---don't go back!!!!
