People say they have a motto in life, but do they live by it? Do YOU?

good soul you are, People will love and respect you for your patience I am sure!

'A day without laughter is a day not lived'.. and I believe it and try to celebrate every time I realize I have yet another good reason to laugh.. because without it, I would rot.. or eventually really want to.

YOur motto, on the other hand,has great shock value and is also deeply reveiling, isn't it? It actually describes YOU the way you have described yourself in other ways and yet the same!
My dearest.. would that I could....but YOU are PRECIOUS to ME!.. very!

thank you, my friend:) I have to explain a bit further lol! cause I like to ramble! lol!

I know my worth or lack thereof... but I've found that if you make people see the side of you that is polished and a little more embellished (or in my case.. my funny entertaining) side.. Then they can't see that you are really just worthless... full of flaws and/or imperfections.

I am still the same worthless person.. but the fascination of my entertainment or thoughts, blinds those around me so well that they can't see that I am worthless.

It's kinda funny, I grew up a very restless and hyper kid and I taught myself to entertain myself with thoughts... I connect to this computer and I say the thoughts that entertain me and it still amazes me that I'm actually entertaining to anyone other than to myself. I have thoughts that crack me up .. I've just learned to share them. I have my kids begging me to do stand up.. and total strangers in line at the grocery store asking for my "show dates" lol .. if only they all just knew.. how incredibly worthless I am.. they wouldn't look twice!

But like all things that shine and glimmer with fascination.. it wears off and I am cast aside and never thought of again.. oddly, I'm used to it now.

I continue on.. entertaining myself and if someone wants to play too. great! if not.. I'm fine with it too:)


make sense?

By the way.. I love your motto! Laughter is how I survive.. the day I stop laughing or finding funny thoughts to entertain me.. is the day I'm out of here for good.

Keep laughing my friend!

of course it makes sense,, perfectly, but because you are not perfect, you are loved and appreciated.

I am vulnerable and afraid and often a fool.
I have made many mistakes and remembered way too much sorrow.
I have a daughter who loves me and a wife who is a wonderful caring partner in every way,and I feel In awe about this because surely I don't deserve it really.

I am afraid that someday I will be alone and invalid and no one will really care.

I won't go on here, because I think it is safe to say that I am absolutely NOT worthless.. I have wells of understanding and compassion for people in all walks and ages in life, I have experienced very muc..elation and depression... but still I know deep inside I am not worthless and that YOU certainly are not!! YOU I understand, because you dare to say it, tell it like it is and I read you... you are vulnerable as I am also.. and you pass gas too when the need arises???

No, Fjaril...... Girls don't fart! ever!
ask around! it's true! hahahahaha!

riiiiight! I am a [b]married man so there is no need to talk like that to mee, of all people..

cool! go ask her! she will tell ya that I'm telling ya the truth!

So did you love the Beatles too, Hatley?? were you a Beatle fan too?

I really like your motto and the explanation you give here.. But then you are the guru of wisdom here at myLot, so what is there not to like!

I love hearing you talk!!( well seeing your words, in any case

hmmm? No wonder you have neat multicoloured hair!! YOu are a multi tasker.. as well.. you have THREE mottos here.. THAT might be really smart, in fact.. lets see..

1)"May no-one ever come to you without going away better and happier. Everyone should see kindness in your face, in your eyes, in your smile"- Mother Teresa

2)"see the best in everyone but fully trust no-one",- author unknown

and then,

3)"Bad stuff is easier if you can bring some humour to it.".. by Wizzywig!!

talk about multitasking.. do you need a secretary??

Well, I could use a little help getting all the "filing" off the dining table.... & someone to answer the phone and tell anyone who rings from work on my days off that I'm "not here at the moment..." - I suppose I could get an answerphone for that one.

An answermachine is a good idea to go with... because, truth have it, I cannot fib...I have long ago been defibbed..it is almost a lifetime ago and I remember the instrument and pain too. down there, behind me.. so.. no I cannot take the fibbing job.

BUT. I can do the filing job!! I am apparently SOO good at filing my wife just totally relaxes and can’t even say words and emits sighs and other groany throat noises and even gives me the sweetest smiles when I look up to her face.. hmmmmm. Yes, I sure can file!!

And at no extra cost, I cream and massage afterwards too, to make sure I KEEP those feet of yours in the best possible condition for all those wellies.

Oh wow!! The job's yours then!! I do have a system of sorts in place.... Awaiting attention: on the bureau... awaiting filing on the table/floor/in my pocket/wherever. I do know that the household/car insurance documents & the bank statements are in their allocated folders. I've only ever had my feet massaged once in my whole life (I dont count putting the peppermint foot lotion on myself) & the only times I get to sit down during my 8 hour shifts are my 15min teabreak and 30min meal break so its not just the welly-wearing that takes its toll!

so.. will that be the 'paper filing with list' or the 'foot filing with massage'

Ohhhh, I think I'd gain far more benefit from the feet I can just put the paper filing in the recycling bin...they're bound to send me reminders.

HAHAHAHAHA!! okej I am sorry .. hahahahaha.. I must go to bed I think. I am having way too much imagination AND fun here.

Don't worry, I like it, I really really do! It is a wonderful motto, Go to the head of the class, you charmer!! and don't make faces or gestures behind my back to distract the rest of the class..

Stop laughing, it's olive picking in a week or two and I need to get a free man in with his own three legged ladder.

yes yes yes,, sure!! Get a man in..He has to be free.. as in single, right? AND he has to have a 3 legged ladder.. and I am not to laugh?
I would love to help out but I am sure I am busy fighting moose here then in the north and so my 3 legged ladder isn’t available.. Good luck finding Zorba there, I KNOW the importance of olives in the world today. YOU taught me well!!

I did not mean free as in single but free as willing to do it for free, I thought that was perfectly obvious.
Don't forget to put a picture of the moose up when you've killed it. Will you be having many round to share it or will the bulk of it be put in the freezer to serve in some obviously strange dish as you seem determined not to impart your knowledge of Swedish cuisine onto the rest of the world.
I have to say that it is one of the few countries whose food delights I don't know much about so you have a global duty to perform here.

Being as you know all about Swedish cuisine now. well.. a tad,, haha,, You will be not suprised to know that I do not hunt AND kill.. I admire and worry about my crop and ring to a moose whisperer. he will fix my problem, and actually HAS withing 24 hours..
SO-- there will be no pictures of the kill.. not any kill..

Traditions are in decline my dear. The man at the end of my dirt track has left an expandable normal ladder propped up against his olive trees. The three legged ones could be on their way out.

Yes yes!.. that was the first one I ever learned! And I used it for many many years!! Absolutely a very great example to guide your life by! Thanks for reminding me!

No problem! Have a great day!

hahaha.. I think that is brilliant! Something original and applicable ONLY to blue bunnies, is it?
I seem to remember a few people like that in my life and I have never been like that until now.. with the outdoor furniture that I must get in.

Have you advice as how to handle the emotional guilt I have for not having done this yet, o bunny of totally laidback wisdom??

nope, it is applicable to everybody.

the emotional guilt over MY furniture is applicable to all others?? Are you MAGIC also?? Aren't you forcing a heck of alot of guilt on my shoulders just now??

no, my motto. as for your terrible guilt sealie you have three options - either go and deal with your furniture or don't but don't feel guilty about it. or get some gullible sod to sort it out for you.

He doesn't believe in getting free men in jb so the gullible sod solution is out of the window.

Very very clever and apt! I think it suits you to a T!!

Ever used it though? Has the occasion come up yet?

Thanks. I use it all the time. I will treat people with respect until they cross me and after that,they don't exist. If they were bleeding in the street,I would just walk by.Most of the time I just forget they are still alive .And if they want something from me,I act as if I don't know them.

Absolutely brilliant, catdla,, absolutely.. You are thinking of your health and well-being and thus are so good to yourself and sparing yourself from internal chaos and muscle cramps in your middle finger since you no longer have to fight the need to extend it.

Very good! I coould be your understudy

hahahahahaha.. you are so flexable and forgiving.. Do you see yourself as that too.. 'easy going, been there-done that, good to yourself' person?

Oh is that how I come off? I thought old fart was more like how I came off.
But I sooo like your version better. Ha, ha, thanks friend.
