“If at first you don’t succeed, try, try again. Then quit. No use being a damn fool about it.’ — W.C. Fields
The definition of insanity,according to Einstein, is doing the same thing and expecting different results,so I wanted to test this fully.
I lived my life for many years in a ridiculous yet consistent way.
I tried,tried and tried again and eschewed the learning process.
In hindsight I like to think I was doing an experiment to prove Einsteins saying.
I had consistent results so I concluded his saying must be true.
The real truth of it I was just pretty thick about the whole thing.
As they say in France,
Beaucoup de mains font la lumière lorsque vous gâtez le bouillon
Many hands make light when you’re spoiling the broth.
So let that be a lesson to you all.
And an entry for one liner wednesday for you to have a look at.
I could now ask you for any silly things you may have done. I realise that is inconceivable for any of my readers to have ever done anything remotely silly.

Sometimes, it’s OK to quit.

Me being silly? Yup, I’m reading this aren’t I?

Some of us grow older but not up. If someone has found a way to turn back time, I wish he/she would share.

I hate kale chips.
And yet, when she offers? I try the kale chips.
I really hate kale chips.

Oh, my gosh…I do SO many silly things. I actually have a tag on my blog called “I’m Ridiculous”. One of my favorites (that I haven’t blogged about), was that I once totally rearranged my kitchen to make everything easier to get to (I’m only 5’1″). When I was finished, there was nothing on the top shelves, and I had some items scattered around the house (like a pasta maker in the bedroom closet, for example). I proudly showed my new system to my mom, and two days later she showed up with a lightweight folding step stool.
Talk about feeling like an idiot. Lol.

But for computers ‘have you tried switching it off and turning it on again’ seems to work. Which is doing the same thing
