It would appear at times somethings defy what we call "laws". We all observe but seldom see and that should give us pause. Do cookies crumble in a way that someone has foreseen, or else why would we have that phrase to convey what we mean? Some contemplate cause and effect at times they should have ducked then are left dripping egg from face and feeling like a schmuck. It's true, into each life must fall a little rain as said, but what clown ordered a monsoon and dumped it on my head? At least it seems that way sometimes, but then I get a break, I don't expect a miracle just maybe one fair shake. And so it was today my friends when fortune smiled on me. I hardly could believe my eyes and thought "how could this be?" As buttered toast fell from my hands defying certainty and landed with the butter up against all odds, for me! Restoring faith, at least for now in something someone said "It's not like you won't drop your toast but how it lands instead ." |

I loved how you laced together all those common expressions into a new outlook. I have never heard rhe message about the toast-that's new. Thanks sharyn [This message has been edited by shyvl (04-17-2008 08:57 PM).] |

Refreshing look at Murphy's Laws. Cleverly written and amusing ideas. I chuckled quite a bit, especially as I anticipated the rhyme at verse 3 and was proved wrong! |

Wonderful encouragement. When someone tells you "You're toast", things may still be looking up, despite the gravity of the situation. Well done. |

Susan,Sharyn,Art,ilsm,Ida,Paul,RC Langill,& Tammy. Thank you all very much. I'm glad to see most( if not all ) of the replys connected with the humor which seems so much of a survival tool these days. It certainly helps me to see the this world of our making a little less harshly. Be well, Doc |
