Observations made in the course of everyday life.

Ever been "whelmed"?

You're usually either "overwhelmed" or "underwhelmed".

...but never just plain "whelmed".
Excellent observation. I have thought the same things.
 
When I was single, I noticed that quite often, the slutty girls showed up at the parties right after I went home.
Everyone got laid, even the dorky looking dude.
Not me. I went home blue and lonely.

The twins were blue and so were you! This could be the chorus to the latest crying in your beer country song KD. Look on the bright side KD,even the dorks got the clap! It's better to be lonely and blue than green!
 
I seem to go through my day with pretty good luck. Things often go my way.
Some days I might make a move in traffic, speed a little or a quick maneuver.....Then afterwards I see a Police Officer. If I had made those moves a few seconds later, I would have possibly been stopped and cited.

I'm not sure thats actually a crime anymore... Hell shoplifting is legal, I can't see a California Cop being bothered by a simple 75 in a school zone type ticket...

I remember seeing guys drive down the street with new tires....and the labels were still on them. This happened quite frequently here in Northern CA. I don't notice that anymore.
I also remember years ago when all new tires either had whitewalls OR raised white letters. Sometimes I'd see cars running around with the blue coating still on the letters or white stripes.
 
I had a local cop who used to pull me over and write me up for something a couple times a week in my yellow Charger when it was in black primer. I was considering selling the car when money was tight when I first got married, and the same cop pulls me over and asks how much I wanted for the car. I said why would you possibly want this car,he said that he made me fix every possible thing that he could find wrong with the car, he's confident it's a good car now. I told him double what I was asking for it,he told me that he would think about it he wanted it for his son. He didn't bother me anymore after that. In his defense I wasn't always driving within the law!

Day by day, we go about our lives and unless we are idiots, we pick up little bits of knowledge either from advice from another or by screwing something up and learning from it. Those that spend their lives on the couch surely don't pick up as much as the dudes that are out there mixing it up with others.
Youth is wasted on the young....as I get older, I can see the wisdom in that phrase. If a man had a teenager body and a seasoned mind, he would be unstoppable, right?

Like you people, I'm out there doing things every day. Sometimes I stumble across something new. It could be a different route home that is faster or more scenic, a new store that opened up, it could be anything.

Saturday, I learned something that I sort of already knew.
Women don't like to be reminded about their weight.

Really??

Yeah...the wife has mentioned the desire to lose weight over the past few years. Saturday, she was ready to order some tacos at the drive through. She wanted more than her usual order.
I said...."I thought you were wanting to lose weight."
She was not pleased.

Hey...I know that I sometimes lack proper TACT when talking with people. I sometimes go off of impulse and forget to phrase my words in a more palatable form.

I don't set out to be rude or mean, the words just sometimes spew out.

I told the wife-now ex-when she asked if something made her look fat if she had to ask maybe there is a problem.
She had NO problem. Until she remarried and got preggers...ohmigosh!
 
The difference between good pizza and bad pizza is a roll of toilet paper.

Our local Chinese place is hit and miss. Generally their pork gives me, ummm, problems. Sometimes the chicken, occasionally the pizza. The problem is that when they are on their A game the food is truly outstanding. But I find as I get older I am less likely to take the risk.
 
When back East last week, I noticed that hardly anyone had fences around their houses. That is NOT the case out here.
 
It is not a good idea to take a laxative and a sleeping pill at the same time.
