This site is about Lindisms:
comic musings of a complex world.
On this blog, I'll talk about the saying that I'm riffing on and its meaning.
Weekday Lindism
Today's Lindism toys with the saying, "An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure," which is to say that a small amount of precaution can prevent having to use a great amount of cure. In my twist, I play with the idea that preventing overeating could mean weighing a pound less at Weight Watchers.
Until next time...
Think on it!
Weekday Lindism
Today's Lindsim plays on the expression, "Once bitten twice shy" which is to say that if you have a bad experience with someone or something you'll shy away from it a second time. In my twist, I'm supposing that something that "bites" you the first time should have kept you from acting a second time but it didn't and now one asks "why?"
Until next time...
Think on it!
Weekday Lindism
Today's Lindism tips its hat to "You are what you eat." In my twist, I'm saying that you deem worthy of tweeting tells us who you are.
Until next time...

Weekday Lindism
Today's Lindism is inspired by "This too shall pass" which is a reminder that all things good or bad will be yesterday's news if you carry on. My Lindism is a comment on that same sentiment, but in regards to food. Whatever you eat - good or bad - will pass through your system.
Any thoughts? Until next time...
Think on it!

Hey friend! Thanks for checking out my blog! This is my first post. This is not going to be a blog that has a lot to say. I speak a lot in life, so here I'm going to let the saying speak for itself. I'm simply going to point out which saying I was playing on to write the Lindism. If I have a few more thoughts on it I'll share them.
Today's Lindism is a riff on the saying, "A fool and his money are soon parted."
The original is a comment on how foolish behavior in regards to how one handles his money can lead to a loss of funds. In my twist I'm adding that jail is a sometime consequence of that same foolish behavior.
What I find particularly poignant about this saying is how any of us can behave foolishly with money and get separated from it. I think when you're in a needy position, that's not a good time to make weighty financial decisions. We're too vulnerable then. Our ability to detect holes in a scheme is not as sharp as it would be under financially healthy circumstances. And if we keep on pursuing the almighty dollar we can talk ourselves into believing that something that's illegal is actually okay. That's when being "carted off to jail" can become a reality.
If you have any thoughts, I'm game for conversation; otherwise, until next time....
Think on it!
