10 Random Thoughts From a Random Mind
I did this once before when nobody but the dog was reading my blog. I am sure that everyone has random thoughts that furrow the brow. At least I hope so. If not, I suppose I will be institutionalized for the list I am about to present. Enjoy my final words and send KFC.
- If asbestos is only bad when you disturb it why do people spend money disturbing it in their homes?
- Why do you feel tired after having a really good sleep?
- Where do pens go? It seems no one ever has one.
- People with a lisp can’t say lisp.
- Why does pumpkin spice not taste like pumpkin? Should it not be called pumpkin pie spice?
- When you say ‘it’s not’ fast it is super funny.
- Didn’t flip flops used to be called thongs? Why is the underwear industry more important than footwear and how did we assimilate the new vernacular so fast?
- Who wants to list their address as Beaver Avenue and what
city plannerman thought that was a good idea? - Why does everything weird taste like chicken? Most everybody likes chicken but I know plenty of people who would not eat snake or frogs.
- Why can’t some people say Escape or Ask properly and instead opt for Excape and Axs when they seem to be able to use S in other words?
That’s all for now. Do you suffer from conundrum-isms? Share in the comments. I love a good WTF moment.
This is the reason I’m an insomniac.

Which explains how many movies you manage to see (a secret dream really).
I still have to stop myself from calling flip flops thongs. It makes me feel very old.
Why do all women who’ve ever had a baby always think they know why yours is crying? As in “Oooh! Somebody’s hungry!” when actually you finished nursing your baby 10 minutes before meeting this stranger/expert.
Why does the medical assistant who “rooms” you at the doctor’s office always lie about how soon the doctor will be seeing you? I think I’ve figured out the code: “right in” = 5 – 10 minutes;” “in just a minute” = 11- 20 minutes; “it will be just a few minutes” = 21- 30 minutes; and “she’s a little behind schedule, so it might be a just little while” = 31- 60 minutes. If the assistant doesn’t make eye contact while saying how long it will be, plan on cancelling whatever else you had scheduled that afternoon.
Your key is very handy. I actually just had a ‘right in’ appointment for my possible gout or osteoarthritis (now who’s old huh?) and I was amazed. I actually looked behind me to see if there was another Kristine. If I had had your key sooner, it would have saved me that embarrassment.
I can’t think of any random thoughts! Oh no! What is WRONG with me? Am I sick? Am I dying? Wait, are THOSE random thoughts? Maybe I’ll be okay. Yeah, this comment I’m leaving is pretty random, I think I’ll live.

Karen, seek help soon! Or, just sleep on it and get back to me.
Here are some of my random thoughts just from today:
–My son was given a free train whistle at an exhibition that we visited. He doesn’t want to play with it so I’ve kept it in my purse thinking I could use it as a rape whistle, if God forbid, I should be attacked. However, is it possible that people would just hear the whistle and think, “Is that a train? I didn’t know there were railroad tracks around here. Why am I hearing a train in a mall parking garage?”
–You know the anti-smoking drug, Chantix? One of the main side effects is abnormal, hallucinatory dreams. I don’t smoke but I have hallucinatory dreams nearly every night. If I took this drug what kind of dreams would I have? Would it have the opposite effect? Would I dream of oatmeal and Muzak?

People generally run away from speeding trains. Rethink your strategy.
I think you would bust into flames if you tried Chantix. Have your husband bring marshmallows to bed and keep my posted.
Do boulders ever bould?
That’s a weird one that popped into my head one day. There are others but I really need to get back to work. Guess I’ll procrastinate later.

Good one. Let me ponder it for you while you ponder this… why are squashes so hard if you are supposed to be able to squash them? Endless procrastination possibilities.
Had never really given much thought to these, but they certainly bear being brought forward and noted. I especially like the one about pumpkin spice. Yeah that stuff is nasty.

It is not nasty in pie… Everything else should be banned!
