I set up the hot buffet as well as fresh lemon, lime, orange and cranberry juices.
Plenty of eggs, bacon, toast, waffles, muffins.

Enjoy and have a great week folks.

How's that for normal?

Mexstan

Morning.

Normal???? What is "normal" for this site?

Scotty is that you, or do we have two Scotty's at this site? Oops, forgot the multiple personalities. This one dun gud. Thanks for the buffet. I will make the ph00 that you forgot.

Another fantastic day is dawning down here in Paradise. Wherever you are, hope your day turns out fantastic too.

I hope you are right! I could use a normal week. Thanks for picking one out for me. See ya!

Here is something to think about on this "normal" day;

Six little definitions

Once all villagers decided to pray for rain.
On the day of prayer all the people gathered, but only one boy came with an umbrella.

That's FAITH
-----------------

When you throw a baby in the air, he laughs because he knows you will catch him.

That's TRUST
------------------

Every night we go to bed without any assurance of being alive the next morning, but still we set the alarms to wake up.

That's HOPE
-----------------

We plan big things for tomorrow in spite of zero knowledge of the future.

That's CONFIDENCE

-------------------

We see the world suffering, but still we get married.

That's LOVE.

--------------------

On an old man's shirt was written a cute sentence
'I Am Not 60 Years Old, I Am Sweet 16 with 44 years Experience.'

That's ATTITUDE :-)



Wonder why that last one makes me think of someone on this site

Good Morning Normal People!

Cruising through the break room wearing my glow in the dark, smiley face boxer shorts, cowboy boots and black Stetson.....now that's normal!

Justwannabeme

all I can think of is Robert Duvall in "Apocalypse Now"..... strolls and says
" I love the smell of napalm in the morning..."

Mexstan

Oh nooooooooooooo, Heidi has been infected (assimilated) too!!!

Wonder what is considered normal for this site? Who would normal be compared to? Lary? Scotty? Heidi? The janitor? Bob? Me?

Scotty

I start a normal breakroom and everyone comments or sways to abnormalities of some sort. CanaStan saw it and noted it.
I like the post of all the things we take for granted in Faith Hope Humor etc.
Still, what might be normal or acceptable for one person may not be for another.
We like normal or predictable. We rarely experience it though. We do adapt. We have to.
Just the other day it was expected of me to respond a certain way in a certain situation. I chose not to. It worked for me. The person expecting me to conform to their demands didn't have a favorable response. I did not break a law or endanger anyone by doing what I did. It was a construction site on the highway with a service road adjacent. No way was I going to run my truck through fresh tar/oil at the speeds the people in front of me were traveling. The flag man was pointing at the path I should take. Instead I crossed the right ditch up onto the service road. Dry shallow ditch, no oil or tar. He was mad. Everyone else followed me. That felt like a normal thing to do.

Lary has a nice outfit on. He usually wears that while on his tricycle.

Scotty, good lesson. I decided that after this week of never ending busy, I'm going to relax. DW is napping, Satellite dish is fixed, truck unloaded, canopy drying, rack to hang extra pipe gates mounted, and still before noon. Think I'll kick back and try that nap thing myself.

We had a very good turnout at the Wall. It is leaving tonight for (I think) Kansas City. Even during the monsoons we had, people were showing up.

FiverBob

Hi gang - - just slowed down enough to hit the start button on the computer. Busy day. Grabbing a ph00, then talk.....................................YEH

Stan - - I like that. It will be adapted a bit and used in class. Heidi - - don't know about you girl. Please don't follow the pack. They are nuts. ..............................................still fun, isn't it.

Busy week coming up with company arriving Saturday for three weeks. Going keep using one of my bedrooms for workout equipment - - one is our bedroom - - let's see, what can I put in the other two that makes it impossible to put a bed in there??? Hmmm - - gerbils? Parrots? Yeh, really loud parrots that came from raucous environments. Daughter has an African Grey that came from an older man's home. He died and relatives found out about daughter and gave bird to her. Fantastic talker and mimicker, but dirty mouth. We were over there with friends and they were playing with the parrot. Someone stood up from the couch and the bird made the PPFFFFHHHTTTT sound. We all cracked up. Now we know what the old man did when he stood up. It sounded soooo real. Amazing.

OK, nuff of this. Get back to work, Bob. Later.

Scotty

See Bobby?
Normal with a parrot lol.
Friend of mine had one too.
Whenever his mother in-law would go to the bathroom it would say "stupid old bat".
First time I heard it I was truly shocked. You could hear his mother in-law laughing down the hall.

Mexstan

Upon due consideration, I think that Scotty did not name the breakroom correctly for this week. This place does not have anything resembling 'normal' in the normal sense, so the word 'another' should not be there. A more apt name would have been "A week of normalcy". Not sure if the breakroom can go much longer than being 'normal' for a week. Isn't 'normal' here in the breakroom closer to abnormal?

Scotty

Normal reply to a normal breakroom.

hanyday folks.

let Monday begin.
