Inner Peace

General Discussion
#1

I am passing this on to you because it definitely works, and we could
all use a little more calmness in our lives. By following simple advice
heard on the Dr. Phil show, you too can find inner peace. Dr Phil
proclaimed, “The way to achieve inner peace is to finish all the things
you have started and have never finished.”

So, I looked around my house to see all the things I started and
hadn’t finished, and before leaving the house this morning, I finished
off a fifth of Maker’s Mark, a pint of Old Crow, a bottle of Merlot, a bottle of Wild Turkey, a bottle of
Bailey’s Irish Cream, a bottle of Kahula, a package of Oreos, the
remainder of my old Prozac prescription, the rest of the cheesecake,
some Doritos, and a box of chocolates. You have no idea how freaking
good I feel right now. Please pass this on to those whom you think
might be in need of inner peace.

That was actually written by Steve’s wife. They carried him off in a straight jacket…:smiley:

Going crazy has it’s positives…No bills to pay…no stress…they give you happy pills to take…and all you have to do is eat the buttons off the wall…they taste good with a touch of Garlic.

Does your husband suffer from mental illness?

Oh no, he quite enjoys it!

old joke :slight_smile:

I gave up the idea of addmitting to being on the crazy side, when I started practising hibernation.
It cut down on my Whisky use, and my need to change underclothes as often as quarterly.
The hair still grows, and I seem to still breath, but my needs are much simpler.

I don’t need the constant expence of “A railroad fix” on a regular basis, and I seem to awake with more ideas for the use of what I alredy have.

This might just be the reason for the suggested downturn in the model railroad industry.
What the heck else can they produce, except a repaint of another piece of rolling stock, to say nothing of another GG1, that few can afford or want, or another giant loco that has little use except as a “Shelf Princess”.

It doesn’t hurt to take a hard look at yourself from time to time, and this should help get you started. During a visit to the mental asylum, I asked the Director what the criterion was which defined whether or not a patient should be institutionalized.

“Well,” said the Director, “we fill up a bathtub, and then we offer a teaspoon, a teacup and a bucket to the patient and ask him or her to empty the bathtub.”

“Oh, I understand,” I said. “A normal person would use the bucket because it’s bigger than the spoon or the teacup.”

“No.” said the Director, “A normal person would pull the plug. Do you want a bed near the window?”

DID YOU PASS, OR DO YOU WANT THE BED NEXT TO MINE!

That old tin tub in front of the kitchen hearth ain’t got no plug. It’s buckets or nothing.

Now, as to insanity …
They say it runs in families …
You get it from your kids …

They call me MR. Nutbar!

Or as I tell folks, I have papers from the Veterans Administration to prove I am nuts, I don’t have a clue as to what the rest of you are using as an excuse!

Ron,

I’m sorry, I wasn’t in the Swiss army for long enough to drive me nuts, :wink: :slight_smile: instead very bad case of allergies! For those I have papers. :slight_smile: :smiley: :wink:

That and the lunar cycle explains my “strange behaviour”, my uncanny ability not to get lost - everyone tells me where to go. It also helps with my “Inner Peace”, nothing like knowing where you’re at after being told where to go. :wink: :slight_smile:

I am constantly being told where to go ... by people who don't know how to get there :(

I spent 15 years running into burning buildings for fun…now I just play with trains and build paper airplanes…

Bart has it right,

Go play with your trains! It’s good for the soul. Even my wife says I come back up from playing more relaxed, and the idiots in one’s life recede into the background. What more could you ask for?

Regards,
