1. That is not established as true yet.
Edited on Sat Mar-05-11 05:24 PM by RandomThoughts
There are groups that tried to take my beer and travel money.


And they have not corrected that yet. Could be they are racking up debt, or it is about breaking something bigger giving them cover, but so far they been shoveling their debts to what they think is better, that creates smears and lies.

Should collapse some of the things that break easily first, then some of the bigger breakable stuff.

:shrug:

It will be interesting.

8. don't you see? You will get your due, if you just utter the phrase...
Edited on Sun Mar-06-11 01:06 AM by Joe Fields
to someone needing a lift, provided, of course that you have a car. The many experiences will naturally become a side benefit and then you can forgive those who you feel may owe you.

Remember: the phrase is "gas, grass or ass...no one rides for free."

It should become your mantra. It usually worked for me. (back in the '70's)

14. I forgave them long ago.
As I said nobody owes me anything, however I am due. Being due, and holding a debt against someone is something different.

It is the ideology behind them that pushed them, and is a fault of education, so instead of going after them, I been trying to explain what they been doing.

If I wanted 'payment' I pretty sure I could find a way to do that.

17. Not that important.
It is a catchy phrase though :D

It is more about being around people, and wanting an existence where you can defend a correct concept without wrong repercussion.

But really I don't have any hard feelings for anyone around that topic, that's how I know I forgave them in my heart. I also know that people in different positions with different talents and resources also do much good and some bad also. It is a trap to think 'grass is always greener' and not recognize that they have challenges like anyone else, so I think it is best to try to be nice to people.

And it is honest to also say that beer and travel money and many experiences, is an important thought for me. Even if it is for self it is also for balance and all things in moderation is the concept of not having to be in poverty to still be able to try and do better sometimes.

My friend's dad had the comeback: If nobody claims it within 30 days, it's yours.

10. Maybe it used to be that way.
Seems like the 2000 era is mostly the gas thing with less and less grass and a minimal about of ass. That could be a function of age--I dunno.

13. 'Course, back in the day when you could actually say that...
Gas was 60 cents a gallon, a full lid (1oz to you youngsters) of mexican skunk weed was ten bucks, and well it was the seventies so while we didn't invent casual sex, we did patent it. :P

I remember seeing one when I was nine and asking my mom what it meant.

nobody rides for free.

Repeat several times fast.

20. I love your screen name so much I named a dog that once.
Had an ex-husband who used to invite the Jahovah Witnesses in, put that song on the stereo, and sit smiling until they went away.

Ah, Zappa...

And my dog was a Bernese Mt. Dog who was the sweetest girl in the world.
