50 Hilariously Random Shower Thoughts That May Give You A Fresh Perspective On Things (New Pics)

I say it's the oral intergenerational transmission of cultural history and traditions, and a type of bonding ritual.

I only have 6 stories. You are going to get repeats!

My mother started telling the same stories over and over to the point of driving us crazy, and I now realize it was when her dementia started. She was reliving the stories, but was already losing her place in time, we just didn't realize it until later.

I learned to be nice first and not care who likes me

Not only did my mother take food on journeys and utterly refuse to buy any en route, but Mr Auntriarch is the same... But if we stop for a loo break, I always get a packet of pork scratchings. So there.

Road trips for my family always including fresh buns with a fried egg with cheese and seasoning, individually packed in plastic bags while still hot. Those mushy things were to last the whole day, or at least till lunch. Usually they didn't survive the first 10 miles. So a pitstop was needed at the first gasstation to stock up on candy and other very unhealthy stuff

I second that feeling.

When my husband goes into a supermarket, same thing and he's 63

Yep

Extremely true!

So depressing. So true.

I got turned down for another job for which I was eminently qualified not five minutes ago. Again. I actually snarled "yeah F**K YOU" while deleting the depressing form email, identical to the last 50 emails of that kind I've gotten.

So very this (English major here)

My daughter has a degree in History and works in hospitality. My son has an IT degree and has worked in that field for some 15 years.

‘May you live in interesting times’ is a curse

My husband, (retired naval nuclear sub engineer), used to say "boring? boring is good". Neither of us have been able to complain about being bored in a while, unfortunately.

For the most part, I have stopped watching any type of news. I can't stand seeing or hearing the diseased feces regurgitating out of Republikkklans sphincter shaped pie holes. I do read the news from multiple sources and that sends me enough. I fear for my country and its people and the world we inhabit.

I miss those days

Most of the news stations are dictated to by the government, if the government wants you to lull, then boring news is on the cards

A room where you get to go to sleep and a room where you have to get up are always two very different rooms regardless of temperature.

Up in the morning, run to the woodstove. Build a fire, quick, the dog is cold!

So true!

Or in middle of the night.

And when you get older, you'll find yourself sleeping in 2-3 hour blocks of time. That's enough to fall asleep on the couch, then wake up, do a few things, then toddle off to bed for another 2-3 hours, then wake up, do a few hours of things, then hit the couch again for that mid morning nap. It's nice to be retired when that sleeping habit changes.

A little advice from an old (77) man. if you fall asleep on the couch sleep there. Your body doesn't care where you get your sleep just that you get it

YEP! If momma put enough thought into covering her feet, let that puppy sleep where she lay. trust in the process that if she awakes uncomfy, she will adjust or make herself more comfy, no need to tell her to climb scary stairs down to the bed, that is ten degrees colder than she's experiencing NOW. let sleeping mommas lie! (falling asleep on the couch sometimes provides a better sleep than my bed, especially over the age of perimenopause).

Never has a truer word been spoken.

Trying to go to sleep is your mind telling your mind to shut up.

Self reflection is more important than perfection.

So true, bad people don't agonize for years about the few times they behaved badly.

he remembered to flush.

Wait! Not to get all mathy here, but there's a problem. I can't correct autocorrect until autocorrect has corrected me. Therefore the number of my corrections of autocorrect cannot exceed that number of times autocorrect has corrected me. Example: If autocorrect corrects me 100 times, 100 is the absolute maximum number of times I can correct it. I cannot exceed 100 because I can't correct a correction that hasn't taken place. Correct?

Tangential, but I found it amusingly passive-aggressive that the spell checker in the The Washington Post's comment section would always flag "DeSantis" as incorrect.

Dear autocorrupt, not once ever has anyone meant to type DUCKING

Actually, I've found that my "off" hand is much better than my dominant hand at holding things still -- probably because that's what it practices the most. Holding something in my left hand and working on it with my right, it's relatively stable. The other way around, though, not only is my left hand not as good at using the tool, my right hand tends to be pretty wobbly trying to keep it from moving.
