What I think the world needs!
« on: April 28, 2004, 09:15:34 pm »
 I think the whole world needs a break from working.

I suggest that the entire world take a week off. From work. Just drop everything where it's at and take off. From war. From all BS. From TV too, since no one will be working.  No one at all doing anything that wasn't FUN! .

Fill  up our gas tanks, stock our fridges and pantries. Take a week off. Meet our neighbors. Plant our plants. Talk to each other. Fish. See the Country.  Stare at the stars.  Look for pictures in the clouds. Chase a rainbow. Play games.Think. Ponder. Philosophize, Rest, and Relax. Just one whole week.  Seven days, what'd be the harm?

I think if you could get the message out and if absolutly everyone took the week off, crooks included, a lot of us might  be able see what needs to be done to make the world a better place for all.  :)

We try real hard to do just that on our Sundays. Do whatever we feel like doing, or doing nothing at all. It is a great feeling of freedom & relaxation.

When the kids were little and before we ran our own business, we were granted vacation time. Hmmmm, vacation, what a concept!  Anyway, for our vacation time we would head south to Missouri to go fishing on Truman Lake. It was heaven! Laying on the boat watching the clouds drift by, catching some crappie for supper, catfishing at night, heading over to Bennet Springs for some trout fishing... I'd forgotten how fun those days were.

I think you have a fine idea there CK, having a week with no responsibilities, except to relax, would do this old world some good.
What goes around comes around.    The harder I work, the luckier I get!!

Redpowered, I Been thinking about this and the problems involved, specially with the cows.  After much unrest, concern and tossing in my sleep I studied and contemplated on your dilimena. . THEN it hit me, like a lighting bolt out of a clear blue sky!!!  

JT, you are indeed one of the fortunate few.  It absolutely sounds like you enjoy your sawing and have reached a fortunate positition in your life that many, including myself, would envy. Every day time to talk, joke and enjoy life.  Yes you are indeed one of the  fortunate few. However it sounds like you have a small problem with your wife insisting that you work harder.  You need a vacation from that!!!

This brings us back to the very real concerns of Redpowered.  What about the cows.  I of course absolutely agree that they can NOT be ignored for a week.  And yet, it is PAINFULLY obvious that you absolutely NEED that week off.  Just as do I, and 99.9 percent of the rest of the WORLD.  Since that JT has not only stated, but absolutely proved, at least in my mind, that he enjoys the privilidges of enjoying life every day, I will be VOLUNTEERING him to come to your farm and take care of your cows!  FOR A WHOLE WEEK!!!!!!  

JT, you'll be helping your fellow man who is in need, and your wife can watch you take care of the cows and take a rest from nagging you to saw!!!!  After a week of this you can go back to sawing and enjoying life.  Problem solved!!!!!! :)

Next?????

Seems to me almost all the big problems come down to cultural differences, we should just stay the DanG away from each other. That would make too much sense though so we'll continue to jam all these square pegs into rounds holes in the names of inclusion and tolerance. ::)

Not so sure about that one.  Another way to look at it is we can learn about the cultures and their ways.  Perhaps the more we, and they understood and learned about each other the better would all of us benefit.  A week off of visiting and recreation, no pressure,  we might find out  that we're not as different as we think.  And even if we are, at least we'd understand why and might come to some harmony.


Swede, tell the tax guy we're all gonna be taking a  week off!!!!!  Maybe he'll like the idea too!!! :).  

Fla., with me and my buddy Swede and You fishing, I'll bet that hook would jump right from the end of yer pole in the water like it was trained!  Shoot the fish might as well just go ahead and jump in the boat.  I KNOW it'd be fun.  


............p.s.  can yall tell I need a vacation!!!!
