A good way to live

Subject: Zen wisdom

1. Do not walk behind me, for I may not lead. Do not
walk ahead of me, for I
may not follow. Do not walk beside me either. Just
pretty much leave me the
hell alone.

2. The journey of a thousand miles begins with a
broken fan belt and a leaky
tire.

3. It's always darkest before dawn. So if you're
going to steal your
neighbor's newspaper, that's the time to do it.

4. Don't be irreplaceable. If you can't be replaced,
you can't be promoted.

5 Always remember that you're unique. Just like
everyone else.

6. Never test the depth of the water with both feet.

7. If you think nobody cares if you're alive, try
missing a couple of car
payments.

8. Before you criticize someone, you should walk a
mile in their shoes. That
way, when you criticize them you're a mile away and
you have their shoes

9. If at first you don't succeed, skydiving is not
for you.

10. Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day.
Teach him how to fish, and
he will sit in a boat and drink beer all day.

11. If you lend someone $20 and never see that
person again, it was probably
worth it.

12. If you tell the truth, you don't have to
remember anything.

13. Don't worry; it only seems kinky the first time

14. Good judgment comes from bad experience, and a
lot of that comes from
bad judgment.

15. The quickest way to double your money is to fold
it in half and put it
back in your pocket.

16. A closed mouth gathers no foot.

17. There are two theories to arguing with women.
Neither one works.

18. Generally speaking, you aren't learning much
when your lips are moving.

19. Experience is something you don't get until just
after you need it.

20. Never miss a good chance to shut up.

21. Everyone seems normal until you get to know
them.

22. Never, under any circumstances, take a sleeping
pill and a laxative on
the same night.

23. There is a fine line between "hobby" and "mental
illness."

24. No matter what happens, somebody will find a way
to take it too
seriously.

Enjoy !!

Here is tidbit of wisdom for you Scott

This is actually a Markism :

A persons sanity is directly proportional to the number of cats they own.

Inversely Proportional?

Caoul dit be that the relationship is inversely proportional? Not that I have anything against cats or their owners, but I know a few people who own multiple cats and the ball of twine does not seem to be wrapped too tightly. Hey! I own cats...

Reminds me of a builder

I worked for that seemed to always have a lack luster clean up crewscrew. I told him, pay peanuts get monkies. He told me vice versa.

Yes


Inversely proportional.

I think the scales start tipping after 3.

Just one example: A customer I had installed a boiler for called me 5 years later and asked if there was anyway that someone could call her house and turn the boiler on. I said that that could not happen. She exploded into fury, screaming that she KNEW that "drug dealers and crack smokers" were calling her house and turning on the heat.

One year later she was removed from the two family home that she owned. She lived on the second floor and her 30 cats lived on the first. I kid you not.

Happy 4 th of July everyone. Are you all feeling United ?

Jon_2

Yes

Mark, Your story reminded me of a customer that I had replaced a contactor on his a/c condesating unit five years ago. The other day, saw him at the Post Office, and asked hm how it was working in this hot spell we are having. His reply" I don't know what you did, but the hot water heater quit last week and it was because you worked on the a/c." I relied "That's strange for I never entered your house five years ago when I replaced the contactor on your condensating unit. You stood in my way the entire time I was at your place." He told me I owned him a new hot water heater for I was the last person to do any work at his house and I was the blame for its failure. I thanked him for informing me of its failure and if I was him, I would be looking for someone to install a new one and not to bother calling me for I would not return to his house for any work for the rest of his life.

It's an obsesion

with some people to connive their way out of financial responcibility.

This activity becomes a hobby for them. There is no act or behavior that would cause them shame or remorse. In their minds it all is very justifiable.

Sad, Don't you think?

Jon_2

It's an obsession

You are right, this guy is the same person who was going to get discharged from the Army Reserve because of his losing his eyesight. His OIC made up excuses why he could not take a physical for 8 years so he could get his pension. After he got the pension from the Reserves, he sued them as the cause for his loss of eyesight and is drawing a 100% disablity pension all so... He is one low life scum bag and will continue to be one until he is screwed into the ground.....

one of my best inssanity stories.

I once was called to a mobile home, and condemned the oil furnace. We installed a new unit - during the install, the HO insisted that the driver for her previous oil supplier was shooting at her to kill her. (Truck sometimes backfired coming down the road by her house). Installed furance and heard nothing until I was served with papers - she was suing our company.

In court - in front of the Magistrate she told the story of how we installed the furnace and had installed a switch in our offices to make the furnace malfunction on command. The Magistrate had to put his head in his hands to stifle his, er shall we say emotions?

Lawsuit was dismissed - she used our comapny as a credit reference for the next oil company and when I got the call I immediately asked to speak with the competition's service manager. I don't know if he took on that account or not.....
