Have you ever noticed?
Aug. 25th, 2004 08:40 amHave you ever noticed that after a flame war on a mailing list dies down or is stomped out that for a while the list is much quieter? Everyone seems cautious and trying to avoid the embers left from the flames
Have you ever noticed that if you have two kinds of milk in the fridge (say whole and skim), that you rarely buy them at the same time? It seems that one is always needing to be bought since we are almost out. But when you went to the store, there was too much of one to buy another since milk is so expensive.
Have you ever noticed that if you buy the exact amount of fabric suggested on the back of the pattern, you have too little but if you buy a bit more you end up with lots of extra fabric?
Have you ever noticed that wire hangers breed but plastic ones (especially the nice ones) don’t?
Have you ever noticed that when you get older you start being more paranoid about your gas gage? You use to let it hang just above empty but now when you hit the last quarter you go to the gas station immediately.
Have you ever noticed that time speeds up as you get older? It use to be that Christmas took forever to show up but now you wonder where the first half of the year went.
Have you ever noticed that it is easier to start a rumor especially a negative one about a person than it is to refute it? Positive rumors seems to wither and die quickly.
Have you ever noticed that when someone says, “I hate to be a gossip” they then gleefully proceed to tell you gossip? It amazes me how much satisfaction some of those people get from telling gossip.
Have you ever noticed that even when you have done all your laundry you really haven’t done ALL your laundry? (Well unless you do your laundry in the nude)
Have you ever noticed that you think you get your best ideas at 3 am but if you write them down and look at them the next morning the phrase “What was I thinking?” comes screamingly to mind? There are exceptions. I solved a big problem with the goblin armor when I woke up suddenly at 4 am.
I am grateful that my cats get along with my baby.
