Things that sneak up on us

Hello:

I LOVE food, but it snuck up on us. I LOVE business, but it snuck up too. The truth is, I LOVE guns, but they snuck up on us.. I didn't mind illegal Mexican workers, but of course, they snuck up on us. I LOVE being protected by the police, and YES, they're sneaking up on us too.

We LOVED cigarettes. They snuck up on us. The difference is, we DID something about it. We're not doing anything about that other stuff. If we don't, they'll take us over.

I'll bet some of you haven't a clue what I'm talking about... That's OK. You can go back to the flower page now.

Policy needs to be change.

I'd be more concerned about who understands you than who doesn't.

Are you okay, excon? There's probably a pretty nurse near you who would be more than willing to take your temp.

Exy, if your food is sneaking up on you the only advice I can offer is to have it killed before you purchase it. ;)

We have a flower page?

But Ex it's the "law". Don't we have to follow it like sheeple ?

Hello again,

Really??

Ok, I'll spell it out..

Food used to be good for us - now it's not. I don't know WHEN that happened.. Business used to be good for us too.. We RAN the world, but then business turned on US. They don't SERVE us anymore.. They STEAL from us... Guns didn't seem to be a problem, but now that EVERYBODY including the NUTS have 10 or 20 with HUGE magazines, it IS a problem.

Now, it may be just me, but I believe the cops USED to be the good guys, and now they're not. That snuck up on me too. Do YOU know of anything that snuck up on you?

Maybe I'm the only one in the world who thinks like that.. If so, I'll live with it, Underlings...

Age snuck up on me.

Newton's Third Law
For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.

We (especially politicians) tend to forget about that.

I agree with J aging is a b*t*h. Turn around one day and all of a sudden you are aching all over... :)

You do realize that all of you and everything that you see, smell, hear and touch is just an illusion created by my mind don't you? Kind of like a matrix that when I close my eyes for the last time... well it is all over for all... it will all fade to emptiness...

Then, when you hear laughing and talking, you will open your eyes and see that you are in the middle of our celestial party!

My daughter just snuck up on me. Scared the holy hell out of me. I think she just knocked 2 years off my life.

I think not... when it's gone it's gone.

Oh! Oh! How about gravity!

Changes in technology really snuck up on me and made me feel older. We went from vinyl records, cassette tapes, cds and now digital downloads. Just like VHS tapes, DVD, then Blu-Ray. I still remember hotmail being really modern and cutting edge when I was starting college, now it's considered dated, I never used things like Myspace, Twitter and Facebook.

Hello earl:

My VCR was the last bit of technology I understood. Now, I don't know an HDMI cable from an optical one..

I hate hooking things up too, for my next TV, I'm getting one with a built in DVD player, that will simplify things.

The sad thing is that I am at a high technology school. I can't do enough to keep ahead of my students. Yikes!.

I just bought a vcr at Goodwill. I need them so I can hook my dvd machines to my old 18 inch deep tvs. I am not exactly cutting edge in my technology. I think I started falling behind about the time the newfangled tv's with remote control came into being (a few years back).

Don't even get me started about remote controls. My husband is very high tech, all the new gadgets. We have 5 remotes to control the TV, the DVD, the xbox, and the speaker system. At this point I can't use the TV in the family room because I don't even know how to turn the darn thing on! He showed me once. There are at least 5 buttons you have to push, in sequence, to turn on the TV, then another remote and more buttons to turn on the sound. Heaven forbid you want to watch a movie on DVD, that requites all 5 remotes and more buttons than I'm willing to learn how to use.

That's why AMHD is such a godsend. I can't watch TV!

Yes, technology is sneaking up on me like a puddy tat on little fog feet.
I bought a smart TV last year. I still sit here playing with the smart remote (only has a few buttons; everything is on the TV screen). The cursor never goes past the edge, and I can move it around right through a wall, my TV, people, maybe even lead for all I know. It's magic.
When I lost cable in a storm the other day, a tech had to come out. He said that the neighbor's brand new TV was fried too, but that mine was designed so that all the extra HDMI slots could take over for the fried TV slot. It wasn't even a feature mentioned in the LG manual!

Ex do you every worry you have too much time on your hands?

Remember when Blackberry's used to be called PDA's. I said that the other day and was laughed out of the room. That made me feel old. Boston sure snuk up on the Leafs this year, I'm also not sure when my belly button snuk up on my boobs :p

Bella, I remember when blackberry's were something you baked into a pie, or made into jam.

You can see your belly button? Lucky girl. ;)

Haha still visible, for a few more years I hope lol!

Ya, wait until you're in your 40's. I lost me feet too. I'm sure they're there, because I can still walk, but I haven't seen them in a while.

Darn boobs.

Why do you think they call them knockers?? ;)

A spider just snuck up on me. But I have a feeling this isn't the kind of sneeking thing excon was trying to talk about. You know he's all about politics. :(

LOL! I swear that I'm just one wardrobe malfunction away from ending up in the news. The headlines would read "Woman's bra breaks, 10 injured".

How do you catch a unique rabbit?
You neak up on it.
