Aphorisms to get you through the day
Another gem in this morning’s e-mail from a wise and treasured mentor:
An APHORISM is a short, pointed sentence expressing a wise or clever observation or a general truth. Here are some “gems”.
1. The nicest thing about the future is that it always starts tomorrow.
2. Money will buy a fine dog, but only kindness will make him wag his tail.
3. If you don’t have a sense of humor, you probably don’t have any sense at all.
4. Seat belts are not as confining as wheelchairs.
5. A good time to keep your mouth shut is when you’re in deep water.
6. How come it takes so little time for a child who is afraid of the dark to become a teenager who wants to stay out all night?
7. Business conventions are important because they demonstrate how many people a company can operate without.
8. Why is it that at class reunions you feel younger than everyone else looks?
9. Scratch a cat and you will have a permanent job.
10. No one has more driving ambition than the boy who wants to buy a car.
11. There are no new sins; the old ones just get more publicity.
12. There are worse things than getting a call for a wrong number at 4 AM. It could be a right number.
13. No one ever says ‘It’s only a game.’ when their team is winning.
14. I’ve reached the age where the happy hour is a nap.
15. Be careful reading the fine print. There’s no way you’re going to like it.
16. The trouble with bucket seats is that not everybody has the same size bucket.
17. Do you realize that in about 40 years, we’ll have thousands of old ladies running around with tattoos? (And rap music will be the Golden Oldies!)
18. Money can’t buy happiness — but somehow it’s more comfortable to cry in a Corvette than in a Yugo.
19. After 50, if you don’t wake up aching in every joint, you are probably dead!!
20. Always be yourself because the people that matter don’t mind, and the ones who mind, don’t matter

Intlxpatr :
Congratulation on reaching more than a half a million hits , it deserves a look back and your thought on this blogging journey
I’ve missed you, Daggero. The truth is, I’m getting bored with myself. I’m thinking of taking a break, some days I feel so stale. I am getting an average of 1400 hits a day, and some days I wonder why?
The current climate in Kuwait also makes me nervous. All the new towers going up make me nervous; it feels a little Orwellian. How are you doing?

Well i missed you too :)and i am doing fine thanks for asking
A break every now and then is always needed , Dont get nervous about the current climate in kuwait it is business as usual .
All those towers means nothing if they ever work .

Rap will be the GOLDEN MUSIC = DOOMSDAY!
LOL, Daggero, you really do put things in perspective! I am thinking about Christmas. Thank you. I feel better. 🙂
Ahmed – Interesting, I hadn’t thought about that – it was meant to be funny, but it could be a sign of end-of-times, couldn’t it?
whats no. 9 all about…scratching a cat and having a job
LLOOOLLLL! Have you ever had a cat, Mentabolism?
Cats LOVE to be scratched. Once you start, they will “allow” you to scratch as long as you agree to scratch!
