As a practical person my entire life, I better follow the old wives tale...

"Ignorance is bliss"

I will nothing but leave you all alone, but as someone who is sarcastically criticized for wanting facts, I feel the need to remind all of the commandments.....Thou shall not lie....and....Thou shall not bear false witness against others which are pertinent to this.

Practically speaking, what validates what you say as truth, and allows you to question others who actually search for truth ?

It is rare than anyone publicly denounces truth or the search for it.

I would hope that you demand truth in life, because enabling the alternative makes everything superficial and phoney.

Leave you happy folks alone, but leave you with some lyrics from a Nickelback song.....

"If everyone cared and nobody cried
If everyone loved and nobody lied
If everyone shared and swallowed their pride
Then we'd see the day when nobody died…"

Quite a leap from Stoicism to current music.

Have a great, honest day.

I have two buddies sitting out in my car waiting for us to go play golf.
So forget about the anesthetic and just pull the tooth and be done with it. We have a 10:00 am tee time at the best golf course in town and it's 9:30 already. I don't have time to wait for the anesthetic to work!"

The dentist thought to himself, "My goodness, this is surely a very brave man asking to have his tooth pulled without using anything to kill the pain." So the dentist asked him, "Which tooth is it sir?"

The man turned to his wife and said, "Open your mouth honey, and show him".

That is NOTHING but a beauty to tell our Newest addition to Our Payroll, a New Dentist, Cool Dude, Honest & Humble Guy, SO FAR!

Your Joke reminds me of how much fun we can have and how Valuable the Advice of others who have suffered through bad Doctors, Restaurants and other Services can find TOTV'S to be NOTHING but a Great Addition to their lives. It was and today is one of my favorite ways to pass some time with many diversified great people.

The Thought for today: Confucius say: He who eats too many prunes, sits on toilet many moons.

Ended up having to torch them off. Then he had to run back out for new studs and spindles. I think I'll get him NOTHING but his own impact wrench for Christmas..

Other than that it was a good day..

I can NOTHING but smell the smells of doing a job like that. I know all the lingo, I know all the parts, I know some of the Part Numbers. I remember part Numbers from Copy Machines I sold 30 years ago. I feel like that guy who wanted to go to K-Mart to buy underwear? I've been accused of being a Card Counter at The Venetian in Vegas. I have a lot of stuff in this aging head.

You know something K-Man, the job you helped your buddy do yesterday will come back to you many times over in a good way. It probably already has come to you as a reward in other ways already. When you get here you may miss the things you did today and remember the smell of burning parts off a truck but I'll bet the Ponderosa you'll get over it quickly!

Outbreak is showing tonight on Showtime. In March 1995, I recall sitting with my Mom watching it and when the vial #612 comes up as the test vial of some housewife with kids the man behind me asked me "Did you see that?" He had leaned towards me and asked this at the Petaluma Theater. I was going like NOTHING but what the ????? Tried to locate him on the way out but it was a no go. I was subject #613 in a study at the University of San Francisco Health Sciences Campus in late 1992-1993 and had started trying to get Hollywood and others interested in spotlighting problems in access to practical information for survivors/victims of crimes by late 1991.

Was quite excited to see certain details in the movie The Avengers: Endgame yesterday. More along the line of the other number I have used in this work-- 224.

NOTHING but exciting.

A lot of movie production trailers had been parked at the Red Lion Inn 300 feet or so out my backdoor in Rohnert Park, CA. These were at the Red Lion Inn. These would be making movies in Sonoma, Marin, Napa and other counties in Northern California. I did visit while walking the dog with some of the people from the Red Lion Inn but not with anyone I recognized as some person from the movies.

Now it looks like they film a lot of movies in Georgia.

Yep, burning off parts certainly has NOTHING but a distinct smell.. Unfortunately it stays in your nose for days.. lol

This guy would take the shirt off his back for me. Even though it wouldn't fit.. lol

EricN, Welcome to this Little Thread. I would like to point out that one of the main things is to include the word NOTHING in your post. Simple as that. I forgot plenty of times and people have no problem pointing it out. I would give you a pass on this one since you are new! Again Welcome!

Wondering why you think one precludes the other ??

My experience is that they never do, and being kind is something that comes from rejecting lies. Nothing but honoring our basic commandments will do it. Again, bearing false witness and judging from a posture of "above it all" and lack of facts is not considered to be a recipe for kindness in any society of which I am aware. Humility works

Of course, I speak from a lowly position, but believe kindness comes from knowing, understanding, and rejection of anything dis honest.

STAND BACK K-MAN, NOTHING VIOLATION!

"“I will stand here for humanity, and though I would make it kind, I would make it true.”

Ralph Waldo Emerson.

Nothing but good words, and he said also...

"We choose to be kind, but we vow to be truthful.
We endure the difficulties associated with this because we have faith that the act of being truthful, although at first the harder path to follow, somehow will ultimately result in good."
