Dick Summer Connection

On the one hand there’s the truth, and on the other hand there are fingers. I’m sitting here in my big, manly black leather poppa chair, trying to figure out which of these to believe: “He who hesitates is lost,” or “Look before you leap.” Common sense says they can’t both be true but there’s an ELEMENT of truth in both of them. It’s not like, “The check is in the mail” or “I’m from the government and I’m here to help you.” We are telling the truth about lies in today’s podcast .  And the truth is, you really should give it a listen.

I lied on today’s podcast.

Lots of crazy stuff happening today. Not much we can do about  most of it. But according to today’s podcast, we can change the way we think about it, and that should help how we feel about what’s going on. 

It’s Friday, so it’s time for the Dick’s Details feature  from today’s podcast. Dick’s Details, is a bunch of totally un-important stuff for you to stuff in one ear, so you can squeeze the important stuff that’s making you crazy out the other ear, and you can go grab a grin. The smart guys in the white lab coats tell us that one of the differences between men and women is that far more men than women are color blind. Seems to me that there are more fun ways to tell the difference between men and women. Those same smart guys say that gold fish will turn white if they are kept in a dark room. I guess they’re afraid of the dark. If the answer is “De-calfanated” what is the question. An average announcer can get about 58 words into a 30 second commercial. In the case of some drug commercials it seems like there are gusts to at least 158 words. Sound does not travel through a vacuum. But hopefully the dirt on your carpet does…travel through your vaccum…unless it’s not making any sound in which case it’s broken. If the answer is “De-calfinated” the question is what do you call a cow who has just given birth. Hey, a little bull never hurt anybody. Dick’s Details, they take your mind off your mind.

Red lights are wrinkle removers. Today’s podcast tells you to put some in places where you want to look like yourself, only younger. Like in your bedroom.

It really wasn’t my birthday yesterday like lots of you thought it was. I tried to answer everybody who wrote, but the computer actually started complaining, and stopped working. So if I missed you, my apologies. And thanks. Today’s podcast might help.

Hi Folks, it’s not really my birthday today. But I’m getting hundreds of notes wishing me well. And that’s pretty neat. So thank you anyway.

Always complaining sets us off on the wrong path. Today’s podcast tells you how to stop complaining and start doing something different.

It’s “Stop Whining Week.” Mondays are a nasty way to have to spend 1/7th of your life. But today’s podcast says whining won’t win. Sometimes we can’t change what’s going on, but we can change how we think about it, and even what we do about it. So…”Don’t pull out your hair, go find a chair.”

Complaints, complaints, complaints. Today’s podcast says, “Enough whining.” Find a way to get things done. Or look at them a little differently. Sometimes Whining can be stopped with some wine-ing.
