Having an MRI is like lying in a steel garbage can while someone bangs on the outside with rubber mallets. :D

Excellent observation!

Another observation - Having the tech turn a broken limb every which way to xray it to see if it's broken seems counterproductive.

Being at work sometimes feels like being in a dentist's chair. you can't move and it's annoying.

Yeah, but at least no one's got their hands stuffed in your mouth at work (I hope!)... :D

Random thought: Some days you're the windshield, and some days you're the bug. Methinks I have been the bug for about a week now... :(

My acupuncturist said I need to rest more and buy new shoes. My DSIL said that sounds like a contradiction. :o:rolleyes:

How about cute, comfy bedroom slippers? :p

Only if you're having a pig's knuckle sandwich for lunch. :eek:

Snap..When I had my MRI, I swore Luke Skywalker & Darth Vader were going to appear on the screen above me..

Why is it that birds decide to sit in the middle of the bike path?

What are baby Pelicans called? What's a group of Pelicans called?

[Zen]

my mind is as cluttered as my desk and both of them full of useless stuff.

[Mr. Bloom]

Why do we park on the driveway and drive on the parkway?

[BleeckerSt_Girl]

Why is this thread becoming random questions instead of random observations?

;)

ok.....

DH and I noticed that when all three cats are hanging out in the same room, they always all have to be facing in three different directions....and usually never facing each other.

Our cats always get sick on a Friday afternoon...right after the vet closes for the weekend.

Whenever I get a chipped tooth or cracked filling it's always the day before we go on a vacation.

[bikerchic]

Why is it that whenever I'm upstairs working, something I need to finish the job is downstairs?

[salsabike]

Whenever our cat Nina eats grass outside, she makes a pointed effort to puke it up INSIDE, usually heading straight for an area rug.

[Zen]

Whenever I'm working in the kitchen my little dog sits with her back to me and faces out.
Most dogs look for crumbs, Roxina goes on guard duty :rolleyes:

[crazycanuck]

I think we need a random q thread..

Cody does this while he's on our bed. He'll lay facing us for about 5 minutes, enough time to get his head scratched, and then do a 180 to face the door. We've discussed flipping the bed in the room so that the door is behind (rather than in front of) us, just to see what he'll do ;)

What he would probably do is wind up sleeping on your faces ;)

Some dogs are just very protective. My Chow was that way. Wherever I went at home, he'd be between me and the door. He really hated a room with two doors, because he couldn't cover both of them.

[Becky]

LOL! He did that last night, until I made him move. It was better to sleep on top of mom and dad's respective shoulders than it was to risk touching the evil feline who was inhabiting the foot of the bed ;)

Gosh, animals make me laugh!

[redrhodie]

random observation...people with the least amount of bike handling skills wear the least amount of protective gear.

If people have personalities, do dogs have dogonalities? :confused:

[Chile Pepper]

I think we need a random q thread..

Is a random q related to Tobin's q? Market valuations can indeed seem random.

Macs require the same amount of time upgrade as PCs.

Why is a watch called a watch?

[Zen]

That is an intriguing question.

You know you're getting old when you think Joe Biden is hot.

[Aggie_Ama]

I think Biden is handsome and he is old enough to be my Grandpa!

Why is it so dang hard to peel a cold hard boiled egg but if they are warm it is a piece of cake? MMMMM cake.

[lph]

I'm guessing it's because the shell is porous and there's a thin layer of water underneath the shell when it's freshly boiled which makes the shell slip off easier. When the egg is cold that water has evaporated and the shell sticks to the inside.

[redrhodie]

As soon as I use the last paper towel, the cat will have a fur-ball.

[Kvixen23]

The more people I come into contact with, the more I realize that common sense is not so common.....:confused:

Drafting behind a dragonfly does little to relieve the amount of energy one expends cycling....(I tried) ;)

A spoonful of fresh brown sugar moves like something in a science fiction movie.

When you drive a Toyota Hilux, people don't try and push you round! :cool:

I am more productive in the 1.5 hours at work no one as here than the rest of the day. :p

[Pax]

Doing online banking before having coffee is an ambitious undertaking.

[Becky]

There are people in this world who seem to create misery where ever they go, like a dense fog swirling around them. Then there are those who create light and joy.

[Tuckervill]

A spoonful of fresh brown sugar should be moistened, then allowed to dry into hard lumps, then savored slowly on the tongue.

BREATHING before coffee in the morning is an ambitious undertaking. :D

[lph]

Indeed! Thankfully I have the coffee-making routine automatized to the point where I can do it before actually waking up.

I second this observation! I used to have one of those miserable people in my life.

If a nursing home resident is going to have a fall, it will be right at the end of the shift (this is what happened last night, fortunately she doesn't appear to have injured herself).

[lph]

I saw a mouse today, or maybe it was a shrew, I can never tell them apart. She, I'm sure it was a she, scurried across the bike path so fast it looked like she had 15 legs. Very cute. Looked a little like a tiny marmot.

At the same time my mp3-player which is now loaded with random 80s stuff I found on our home computer burst into a very bizarre song called something like "Long-leggy John Wayne", with lyrics that sound like they might be dirty but I can't quite make them out. That had me grinning for the next ten minutes at least. :D

I just hit 6400 km for the year, exactly. Kewl.

[andtckrtoo]

Whenever the road crews "repair" the roads in my area, they work for days, disrupt everyone's commute (they even close the bike lane!) and the roads end up worse than they were before. :rolleyes:

The small bug always lands in the wet paint.

Then struggles around until it's completely coated in paint, and falls onto the unprotected carpet.

People who live in coastal areas always panic at the word "storm" and then continue to live in coastal areas.

[Aggie_Ama]

It is way too nice outside to be in my cubicle.

[pinkychique]

They, the magical "they" always seem to make it too cold in the buildings when it's warm outside, and too hot in the buildings when it's cold outside....;)

[BleeckerSt_Girl]

Whenever I go to a restaurant and ask for the extremely loud and annoying music to be turned down a little so I can talk/think during my meal, I am told they have to have it that loud because "that's the way the customers like it".

:confused: :confused: :confused: :confused:

Once you get the actual date of surgery, your body rebels. "HA! You think you got pain! You have not seen nufin yet sucker, I'll show you PAIN! Try to alleviate me will ya....."

//wanders off mumbling.....frikkin wrists, frikkin neck.....

[BleeckerSt_Girl]

I only have fillings crack or teeth chip on Fridays when we are headed out the door for a week long vacation trip.

[carpaltunnel]

They, the magical "they" always seem to make it too cold in the buildings when it's warm outside, and too hot in the buildings when it's cold outside....;)

Then "they" offer cash prizes for anyone who offers a money saving suggestion, but never accept suggestions about the temperature inside the building!
