Thursday Thirteen



Thirteen Things to Avoid

1. Angry people (especially if their anger is justified)
2. Testing blades with one’s fingers
3. Stopping the car on a level crossing
4. Starting an addictive habit
5. Touching wires without first checking they don’t carry a current
6. Driving the wrong way up a one way street
7. Working too long without a break
8. Excessively huge expectations
9. Being too late
10. Watching soap operas
11. Migraines
12. Body odour (your and other people’s)
13. Low flying saucers


Thursday Thirteen is a weekly meme with a simple theme: each Thursday you blog a list of 13 things. What kind of things? Any kind! Just come up with a list theme and run with it.

  1. Migraines are at the very top of my list of things to avoid. Too bad it isn't always possible. Thanks for visiting!

    1. I agree entirely, Heather. If I had put them in priority order they would have been on mine. It must have been a good day when I drew up the list or it would have automatically come to mind.

  3. I'm especially in agreement w/ the avoidance of low-flying saucers, have the scalp scars to back it up.

  4. That's quite a list of things to avoid, and I agree with all, with the exception of #10 (you gotta at least follow one soap opera).
    As for #13 if you're seeing flying saucers, low or otherwise, you'd better stay away from whatever is influencing those sightings. Stick to drinking tea like Jo.

    1. I left it open to interpretation as to whether they were low flying-saucers or saucers that were low flying. I'm glad you chose the former option and didn't automatically think of Jo throwing her saucers at me!

  5. It reads as a poem I love the whimsical ending. I read it as flying saucers!

  6. I agree with Heather -- migraines would be number one. A close second would be stopping on a level crossing -- being hit by a train has been a lifelong nightmare for me, though I'm not sure why. Maybe it was growing up on the Alberta prairies and seeing the one-hundred car grain trains rocket along the tracks. Scary.

  7. Hmm. How many low flying saucers have you seen lately? Just curious.

  8. Yes especially to angry people. They bring me down.

  9. I watched English soaps during those few hours I had to be inside hotels while visiting the UK a few years back :) It would have been addictive. I miss England!
