( Friday NO PO) Today is Talk in an Elevator Day, Milk chocolate Day & Water Park Day

Post by Z is for Zangie » Fri Jul 28, 2023 2:17 am

Does Anybody have some new ideas I can use?...lol...I almost always am friendly in most situations, and certainly, in elevators, most people are good about it, but some aren't so much. I admit that as teenagers my sister and I sued to get on the elevator at Macy's and deliberately say things to shock the older people in there...lol. Shame on us ( she corrupted me...lol). I love all three kinds of chocolate, but, milk is my favorite these days, it was white chocolate at one point, then dark, but I am back to good milk chocolate. I haven't been to a water park ever, but, when I was younger I would have liked it. Now not so much for a multitude of reasons.

You could always go the Word of the Day route. See if you can trip me up.

Ha, I actually have an app that gives me one a day, but, these are too easy...lol.it amazes me people don't know they already...I know you have a better vocabulary than me, at least in certain areas, or at least you remember it better ( I was a spelling bee and word champ in elementary school) than I do...but, I don't think I am too shabby compared to most of the population...lol...I may check the link to get a more challenging ( and learn new words) test...

I remember in Jr High using the word "sarcastic" and my classmates didn't know what it meant, I was astounded, seemed a normal word to me ( keep in mind, at that time they arranged your home rooms by IQ (bad idea), and I was in the top one, so they should have known)..though mostly I know a lot of words because I have read thousands of books and always look a word up if I don't know it...

Because I knew these supposedly "big "words, and because I always finished my work and then read...they nicknamed me "teach"....sigh.....lol..could have been worse I guess

I guess I'm guilty of reading the fortune not eating the cookie - but it does explain a lot of things.

I need to get a job in a fortune cookie bakery writing fortunes.

You know, things like:

"Good thing you didn't have Mexican Food. You know it gives you the runs."

"Put five dollars in the bank today, and in a week you'll have five dollars. If you buy a coffee it's gone today."

"Free advice is worth what you pay for, but ignorance is always expensive."

"Take time to pet the cat. Unless it's a wildcat, in which case leave it alone."

"Even a broken clock is right twice a day, but the other 1438 minutes a day it's still dead wrong."

"If you're not trying to be smart, that means you're content to be dumb."

"Tip your waitress well and flirt with her."

"A rich man is a man who knows where he's going to sleep tonight and where his next meal is coming from. Everything else is luxury."

"Mysterious egg-roll sometimes happen."

"If the phone rings at midnight, you probably have not already won a million dollars."

"An ugly woman who can cook looks the same in the dark as a beautiful woman who can't."

"Sing like nobody else can hear you, but fart like everybody can."
