Now I bet you thought I was going to do a dissertation on rodents, eh?

But no, this is what I call Random Access Thoughts. We all have them, little profound alerts that capture our cranium while driving or waiting in some office, no matter, you always wait. And the magazines are all for women or children. So you are left to your own imagination.

Here's a few I jotted down, trivial as all get out, but nonetheless, true, at least for me. Maybe this is my feminine side coming out after all these years! :icon_lol:

The opposite of worry is faith.

The less hair I have, the better I like it.

Last month I went without a cell phone for two weeks. And I lived to tell about it.

Laundry is the most loyal thing I do for my family.

Teaching my two boys sarcasm is the second most stupid thing I have ever done. I won't tell you the first.

I am the king of sarcasm.

I visited Washington, D.C. and I was unimpressed with the White House figures.

I have never had a desire to water ski.

When opportunity knocks, ask it a list of questions.

I really can't stand magic acts or shows.

I have learned not to become stressed over things I cannot control.

Why do Ladybugs stink so bad?

Puppies are really adorable until they chew up your favorite pair of sneakers and pee on them!

No one truly understands me, even though they try real hard.

My favorite food is meat!

To some extent, I happily don't know what I am doing. But I feel it is an artist's responsibility to trust that.

Take my advise, I shan't be using it.


Give us some love, let's hear some of your RATS. :icon_lol:

I havent had a cell phone in years, therefore I don't need blood pressure medication.
My browser has scripts and active content blocked, and I don't miss what I'm missing.
Nobody cares what I have to say, c'ept maybe me.
My family and my pets love me, and thats enought for me.
Extremely violent video games helps me relieve tension, weird.
I can't stand the color red, but I have a couple red model cars that I love.
I don't like second hand smoke, but I can't seem to quit smoking.

hard times teach us who our friends are

the truest measure of how much i like you, is how hard i work to dance on your last nerve. if i don't try to piss you off, i don't like you.

my dogs don't fart nearly as much as everyone thinks they do.

cheezsteaks, pizza and ovaltine are the food of the gods.

there is no cooler mode of surface transportation than motorcycling

Treat people that way you want to be treated
Unfortunately, I usually treat people the way they treat me.

I'm told by a few I'm too cynical, but I just don't want to believe them.

I don't know why its called being a "smart ass", it's the other end causing the trouble. The lump 3 feet or so up.

As I get older I'm finding I'd rather sit 2 hours in a theater watching a meaningful story with good writing and acting instead of gratuitous action, violence, and sex. But I'll probably go watch the next superhero, action hero, or Bond flick anyway.

Pay off all debts, and cut up those damn credit cards. You'll be amazed at how freeing an experience that is, and just how much easier life gets when you're not in debt. It's true, money can't buy happiness.

After finding out it's really God's money, it turns out God has way better uses for it than I ever do.

Whenever you're sad, stop being sad and be awesome again.

Never try to light a cigarette on a propane stove. Your hair will suffer.

An aspirin before going to bed will prevent a bad hangover.

Tolerance isn't just for engineers, but for anyone and the singlemost important part of your character.

Snow is the natural enemy of the common cyclist.

The biggest goal in life is enjoying yourself, the only acceptable exclamation when standing in front of heaven's gate is "Whee! That was fun!".

It's better to lose a friend than to leave out an awful, silly comment.

Arguing on the internet is easy, but a complete waste of time and energy.

If you have to choose between love and career, you will suffer regardless of how you decide.

The best things in life are the spontaneous deviations from the routine.

Always be willing to learn something new, "I'm too old" is no excuse at all.

Stop caring and worrying about things you can't directly influence.

Tankers are the best soldiers out there; Panzer hurra!

There's a bright side to *everything* negative.

Humour is the second most important characteristic of a personality.

When you become ill through no fault of your own with a condition that leaves you unable to work a regular job and are then forced to exist on a disability pension you really discover who your 'true' friends are. It is surprising how few 'true' friends you really have!

Absolute, honest, truth is the most important fact of life. After seeing the effects a compulsive liar can have on a family many years ago (and those lies are still having repercussions 35+ years later) I vowed to myself that I would never, ever, tell lies for any reason. That decision has been a blessing and at times a stone around my neck. People don't believe you even when you tell the absolute truth and more than once I have had my livelihood and career threatened by managers/company presidents who expected me to lie for them to cover their butts! Some people have accused me of being arrogant, rude and offensive when in fact all I was being was brutally honest with them. If they don't like the truth it's THEIR problem not mine!

Pets are part of the family! My two cats and young pup not only bring me great joy but help to reduce the stresses in my life which in turn lessens the effects of my illness so they are therapeutic as well as being family members....hmm wonder if I can claim pet food as a medical expense! Nothing beats curling up with a purring cat or being woken by a great big puppy tongue slapped all over your face!

People never seem to live up to my standards...

Most days neighter do I..

My cats and dogs give me the best kind of love, the unconditional kind..

My freedom is found in the wind at around 75mph

I hate it when people will not see my way of thinking

I enjoy the smell of fresh cut grass, Even though I hate cutting it

I really seem to enjoy what others here think and feel most days

I have met some real brothers and sisters on the Intrenet Most I have never seen in person

I am working harder now in retirement, than I have for the last 10 years

I fly Simulated planes, cause the last plane I flew in real life alomst killed me and now I'm scared...

...unfortunately my bike don't start to breath till about 90. Also snow was the best thing to happen to me and my bike: It taught me how to ride (or how to handle on slick surfaces).

Well...My 95" screaming Eagle is like that too..the cams just stumble until third gear is wound tight at 6000RPMs and its hitting 80 and above...

Was not wanting to give the impression that I had a death wish here...LOL


I remember one night some years ago in Virginia, it was late, dark as heck, and I was going somewhere and my truck was froze so bad it would not start..

So off to the ol trusty 49EL I went..Its 90 weight was so stiff it was all I could do to kick it through... So back in the house I went , shovel in hand, to get some red hot coals from the wood burner..

15 minutes of that heat under the crankcase and she fired right up...Off I went , slipping and slidding all over 29 north to my destination...It was bitter cold ...Good fun I tell ya

I consider sarcasm to be a sign of higher intelligence. I love sarcastic people.

Even though I try and desperately want to, I realize I can't save the world.

I hate liver and I don't care if you fry onions to go with it. I hate liver.

I have learned that there's a difference between treating people like I would want to be treated and treating people the way they need to be treated.

Being unique makes me happy!

I have learned that when I drop my peanut butter toast, it always lands with the peanut butter facing down.

I take time to smell the roses even though I hate the smell of them.

My Dad was right, never burn your bridges.

I wish Murphy's law didn't exist.

Best smells: Clothes which have been dried on the clothesline and my mom's perfume whenever I hug her.

Clouds are fascinating

I don't open my eyes under water because I get scared

I wish I could turn back time.

I miss my Golden Retriever. He was the BEST dog I ever had. Ranger was 18 when we had to put him to sleep.

Squeaky wheels on shopping carts drive me crazy!

I despise phony people, hypocrites and copycats.

Family and Friends are a blessing

Good health is one of the most precious gifts to have.

I like who I am but I realize I have so much more to learn and I have room for improvement.

I love shoes and purses

I believe in angels, ghosts and spirits.

I'm a realist.

I love to drive around with windows rolled down, I love to feel the breeze, Only that I live in a city with 94% humidity! :isadizzy:

I don't like the breeze from the fan touching my skin. :running:

I shower in cold water. :ernae:

I don't like people who doesn't know how to use their indicators.


I am a happy person, I laugh a lot and I laugh at my own mistakes. :icon_lol:

I don't drink alcohol, but most of my friends are drunk... :wiggle:

I wonder why I eat a lot and struggle to burn fat at the gym... :jump:

I am a busy person, I attend to all of my daughters extra curricular activities, and complain I dont have time for myself. :eek:

The scariest thing in my life is sitting in a dentist office... :bump:

Seafood is my favorite ..... :applause:

Shorter hair makes you look younger, but I prefer my hair long....

My first love is Jesus :engel016:


Don't ask me the brand name of my favorite perfume.... it start with an S...

What I don't want to do, I do; What I want to do, I don't do!

Man cannot live on bread alone, therefore, he must have peanut butter.

Remember as you drive (especially if you ride) - 50% of all those cars on the road are driven by below average drivers.

Aim to die overweight and with a 0 balance in your bank account

Yeah, being unique makes *everyone* happy! *Cough* :d



More from me:

Innocence is better protection than a kevlar vest.

Life is just a hunt for good moments.

You can't miss what you never had.

It doesn't matter which way you're facing, as long as you're moving forward.

i would have been more selective, or maybe....excersized some...restraint

Why do other pilots tell me I'm the best they've ever flown with but I fly horribly and make dumb radio calls in front of examiners?

Why is my hot rod experience more like boat ownership? To take it out on a weekend a few times a year, it requires weeks of preparatory maintenance and thousands of dollars.

I'm not a great guitarist. I'm okay, and my friends suck at guitar.

the smartest thing I ever did was become a B-1B Crew Chief

The dumbest thing I ever did was become a B-1B Crew Chief

How many roads must a man walk down before you call him a man? None. Walking will not solve gender-identification issues or gain the respect of others.

The only place the default Extra can be snap-rolled in a realistic manner is the ground at low speeds.

or:

The trick is in recognizing who that person is.

In my experience, you make one really bad judgement call, then struggle through 15 years before you make the right judgement call. Your own mileage may vary... :mixedsmi:

But I think you'll know... (at least I hope so)
