    Of course I’m naturally assuming I’m not associated with the stupid ones 🤪🤪

    If it don’t bother me, it don’t bother me. Just leave me alone.

    Heard a good one from some guy on Wheel of Fortune last night. Fashion consultant, I think. I don't remember his name, but I do remember his 3 rules for living.
    1. Be nice.
    2. Take responsibility for your actions
    3. The world doesn't owe you anything.

    I told Faye: "Wow! That's my 3 rules for living."

    Anyway, I liked it.

    3 Mark Twain is also credited with that but at the end he added "it was here first". Probably not the first to come to that realization.

    Edit:I am not shouting ^. Apparently putting the # sign in front of a digit elevates the post to header status.

    “Progress is Providence without God. That is, it is a theory that everything has always perpetually gone right by accident. It is a sort of atheistic optimism, based on an everlasting coincidence far more miraculous than a miracle.” ~ G. K. Chesterton

    Things go right, things go wrong, with or without a belief in God. A belief in God, or atheism, just affects one's perception of things.

    True indeed.

    An everlasting coincidence. Or a miracle.

    I have no right to call myself one who knows. I was one who seeks, and I still am, but I no longer seek in the stars or in books; I'm beginning to hear the teachings of my blood pulsing within me. My story isn't pleasant, it's not sweet and harmonious like the invented stories; it tastes of folly and bewilderment, of madness and dream, like the life of all people who no longer want to lie to themselves. ~ Hermann Hesse

    “If you’re not a race car driver and not a racer, stay home. Don’t come here and grumble about going too fast. Get out of the race car if you’ve got feathers on your legs or butt. Put a kerosene rag around your ankles so the ants won’t climb up there and eat that candy ass.”

    — Seven-time champion Dale Earnhardt, who clearly had grown tired of some drivers and some officials complaining about increasing speeds at some tracks.

    That doesn't look like a late 1700's gun to me.

    I guess we should take Abraham Lincoln's admonition and not believe everything we see on the internet, yeah?
