Still Learning After all These Years.....

You know you’re never too old to learn stuff and I was thinking about some things that I’ve learned:

Just because you’ve read a good book by a particular author doesn’t mean everything that person writes will be good.

Directions, receipts and warranty info you save FOREVER can never be found when you want to use them.

A part or piece to something (extra screws, labels, etc.) can never be located later on even though you KNOW you have them.

If you are going through boxes looking for something, it’s a guarantee that it will be in the very last box in the assortment.

Sit on the toilet and the phone will ring or someone will come to the door.

Never eat spaghetti while wearing a white top.

Throw something away that you’ve had for a long time and you will need it within 24 hours.

Brag on how good something works and it will break down the next day.

Never let a puppy near an electric blanket.

After the grandkids have visited, its not a good idea to walk barefoot through your house in the dark.

What prompted the above list was my inability to locate part of my coffee pot that I put away for safe-keeping and now I want to use it since my other one is taking 20 minutes to brew a pot. Well….OF COURSE….I can’t find part of it and to add insult to injury, I can’t even locate the book so I can ORDER the part I need. Maybe I can find it online. The Internet has saved me a number of times now.

I used to wonder if my toilet seat sent a wireless message to my phone or doorbell. I’d sit on it…and one or the other would go into action. I solved part of the problem by putting an extension phone in my bathroom. Smartest thing I’ve ever done.
