The Wondering Thread
on: March 27, 2013, 08:01:13 PM
I thought maybe a thread where people can write down things that make them wonder could be a good idea. Caveat, this is a delicate matter, so if you choose to share your thoughts please try and observe the forum's Family Friendly policy and keep things courteous.  ;) 

I'll make a start: I wonder why I never seem to know which shade I like best (on SAK scales, shirts, cars, things in general), crimson red or Cal Poly Pomona?   :facepalm:

I'm wondering how high up on the giddyometer rating my office is going to reach tomorrow afternoon with the prospect of a 4 day weekend at hand  :drool:.
- Or was I too preoccupied with other thoughts, like: if toast always lands jam side down, and a cat always lands on its feet, what happens when you strap a piece of toast, jam side up, to the back of a cat?

Oh man,  THAT was the number one thing about my ex-wife that used to give me the total smurfs.

example...
Her:  What colour do you think we should paint the fence?
Me:   White.
Her:   No, I was thinking grey.

I've never hit a woman, but God I always wanted to bitchslap her for that "No".

Well, if how you catch them makes 'em feel unsafe they try to get a grip. If, on the other hand, they are feeling cosy on your lap out come the claws massaging what is under them. Go figure  :D

How I see it, yellow is a truly majestic colour and in order to remain such it should be used wisely and sparingly on selected occasions.  :tu:

I felt like that for a few months recently as things were steadily deteriorating, and I decided that yes I would, but it wouldn't happen on it's own - so I am now making it happen! :) Having a good team of guys online to chat to 24/7 about whatever the current threads are when you're having an off moment helps immensely I've found  ;)

Either that or just take the piss out of Kirky  :whistle:

I wonder which parcel is waiting for me at the PO  :think:

Bullying? I prefer to think of it as character resilience testing. It's like a workout for the emotional stability aspects of the psyche. We're doing him a service here ...


.... actually I don't really think about it at all, it's just fun and frequently justified  :whistle:
