Uh-oh

I hear this all the time (I even say it at my weigh-ins), "Uh-oh" is a frame of mind. A philosophy. It says to expect the unexpected, and also expect to be able to deal with it as it happens most of the time. :"Uh-oh" people seem not only to expect surprise, but they count on it, as if surprise were a dimension of vitality.

"Uh-oh" embraces "Here we go again" and "Now what?" and "you never can tell what's going to happen next" and "So much for plan A" and "hang on, we're coming to a tunnel" and "No sweat"and "Tomorrow's another day" and "You can't unscramble an egg" and "A hundred years from now it won't make any difference."

"Uh-oh" is more than a momentary reaction to small problems. "Uh-oh" is an attitude. A way of life for some of us. It is what we are or maybe who we are.

"uh-huh" +"oh-wow" + "uh-oh" + "oh, God"= "ah-hah!"

The new year is upon us lets have some fun as we live and go on our way!!

We enjoyed the participation of the Worshippers of the Onion at our last meeting of the Secret Society of the Fellowship of the Fridge. A good time was had by all.
