~ Your Moment of Zen ~

by Tina~in_ut

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 get out of the way and leave me alone.

2. The journey of a thousand miles begins with a broken fan belt and a flat 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. No one is listening until you make a mistake.

6. Always remember you’re unique…just like everyone else.

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

8. It may be that your sole purpose in life is simply to serve as a warning to others. (my favorite~)

9. It is far more impressive when others discover your good qualities without your help.

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

11. No one is listening until you fart.

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

Good Morning Michael - Congrats on being first.
I am here so you are not alone. Please explain avatar.

Tina - Those are great. I like 5 and 7 best.

I will be back when the owls start flying into the nest. See you all later.

Tinka...

Thank goodness ur here! You look terrific...

That is a Singapore Airlines A380 on approach to LAX from a popular vantage point near an In-N-Out Burger on Sepulveda Blvd.

There are people whose hobby it is to get great photos of airliners around the world and I enjoy seeing the photos at Airliners.net

I have even found shots of planes that I think I may have been aboard at the time they were photographed. Either working or as a passenger...its very interesting..

Michael Are you being a Peeping Michael or have you come inside now?

Just_Lin said...

Tinka Good morning. How are you liking your new stove?

Zona Thanks for the chuckles this morning. I think skydiving isn't for me, regardless.

Hi Guys!

TINA: My fave is #5..so freakin' true!! :D

MICHAEL: I saw a story on the news the other day about an airport where people hold onto the fence near the end of the runway so they can feel the force of the jet engines that fly right over their heads...it was frightening..but kinda cool to see those planes take off and come in so low.

Waving HI to TINKA and J/LIN!

I'm trying to clean up some of the projects Randy left half finished on his vacation..it almost looks like he just moved stacks of stuff from one room to another..oh wait..that's what he did!! :D

ok..ok..to his credit..he did get a lot of stuff out of here..so now we have space for more.. ;)

Have a good afternoon everyone! :)

Tina....I've been around the world...I don't see any point in going again...

I have been a passenger on the Concorde twice....nothing is ever going to top that...

Besides....I keep telling you people...I DON'T FEEL GOOD!
