…but which relationship??

Drink enough coffee and you won’t be sitting for a prolonged period.

Cornell wastes money on meaningless studies like that?

Topic is Coffee

~ ~ ~ ~ ~

Four buddies caught up for coffee many years after high school. Each bragging to the other how successful and wealthy they’ve become.

The first guy said, “See that bank building across the street? I am going to buy it within the next six months.”

The second guy then said, “See that hotel building next to the bank? I am going to buy it within the next month.”

Not wanting to lose out, the third guy quickly said, “See that shopping complex next to the hotel? I am going to buy that next week!”

They then look expectantly at the fourth guy who simply smiled and took one long sip of his coffee before muttering the words, “Sorry guys, but I’m not selling.”

The study “suggests” that it “may…” I’d love to have that job! :D “Ma’am, my professionally written study suggests that your shoes may be ready by next week. 50.- please, here’s your receipt!”

If your dog dislikes your partner, you better listen to it!

It’s that 15% that’s the killer, lol!

Animals in general can be an excellent judge of character (probably more so than most humans).

I worry about stuff that is unimportant, drives my crazy.

Hang on to that 15%, paranoids. Hang on.

“Most things that I worry about never happen, anyway.”— Tom Petty

I don’t want get up…can you get me a cup of coffee?

“if my dog doesn’t like you we can’t be together”, said my spouse of 50 plus years when we were dating.1st time in her parents home I sat down, the the dog growled at me…I told the dog “you’re vicious, I know, and I like you anyway”She backed up one giant step, leapt on my lap, curled up and napped for 20 minutes.My wife and I still miss her.

Now I am worried about that study.

“Death from prolonged sitting,” similar to death by prolong lying in a hospital bed, but totally different from death by prolong standing in traffic.

Quote from Bill Murray: I’m suspicious of people who don’t like dogs but I TRUST a dog when it doesn’t like a person…..”,’nuff said…..

that dog looks like a cat

if you worry about something and it doesn’t happen, doesn’t that prove that worrying works?

The relationship thing works for roommates too. I ended up renting a room from a lady because she said I was the first man her dog ever liked

That’s because you have to get up and pee.

What about people that sit around worrying whether or not their date’s pet will like them?

Years ago I went to someones home and before I was let in the lady of the house had 2 BIG German Shepard checked me over, after I was invited in she said that if they don’t approve, a person doesn’t get in …… :)

Maybe because they take steps to avoid the things they worry about. Consider the Y2K bug. Some people say it was a nothingburger, but that ignores all the work done to take care of it.

A very studious edition of Ripley’s.

A lady I was dating did not like my dog. She did not get a second date.

I’m sitting at my PC drinking coffee. It’s working so far.

I could have told you that without Cornell
