The best laid plans...

[Bbbananas]

Man plans.
God laughs.

I thought yesterday, when I read this - how true.
What say you?

[Davethedog]

There is no god

[Bbbananas]

well, that's up for debate and a personal belief. Or not, as the case may be.

I just liked the quote !

God or not, there's no doubt about it that there's usually a sick b****** somewhere wanting to spoil things...

[redman41]

Man plans, but Women have other ideas !

[China Doll]

I agree there is no God and I'm not a man so I'm feeling quietly confident.

[yinyang]

Why does God not want me to do my ironing? I've been planning to all week and never managed it.

Ah well, I shall bow to the whims of a higher power and leave the ironing untouched.

[craft1948]

I believe there is a God and as I'm a woman he's obviously on my side....

[Bbbananas]

He's certainly given me some challenges in the past.. and I rose to them. But I would never say I've had the last laugh.....or the last say.

[logic]

whether there's a god or not, nobody seem's to be able to prove it, either way.
Certainly would make a good debate though,


come to think of it, why is it that when we are on the short strokes we keep shouting, OOOOHHH GOD,

[Bbbananas]

you do that as well Logic?
Most of the men i've had also shout that.....

[Sqad]

logic.....lucky you......all my strokes are short.

[craft1948]

well it's better than shouting the wrong name.............

[Sqad]

craft...;-)

[Bbbananas]

Oh yes craft :-(
I did that once. Dreadful silence......

[yinyang]

Ok serious answer.

After I lost my father , my grandfather, my gran, 2 uncles and a friend in the space of ten months a well meaning person told me they understood it was hard but I must trust to God's plan. I can't remember exactly what i said but it was a suggestion of what they could do with their god and his plan!

Life can change in an instant - one sentence from a doctor, one driver that takes his eyes off the road for a second and all the plans you made mean zilch.But I don't think that means you should give it up planning.

I hope for so much for my girls and there is still a long list of stuff I want to do with my husband. I do have a constant nagging fear that it could all be snatched away but I have to let the positive side of me stay in control or my I would waste my life - and theirs - worrying about how it will turn out.

[Sqad]

salla....was it a woman's or a man's name?

[craft1948]

me too salla........

[Bbbananas]

yinyang - good answer, and I totally agree with you. Maybe the quote should be 'Man plans... God has other ideas....'

sqad - it was a man.
craft - you want to floor to swallow you up. (Might as well at that moment in time, because any other possibility of swallowing has gone right out of the window.....)

[logic]

sALLA,
why are all your threads a little er smutty,?

[Bbbananas]

Not all of them are logic... I do get carried away sometimes I know. I had started this one in all seriousness, with absolutely no smut intended. You should know by now I do have my serious moments.... I just have a 'Lincolnshire Mind'.

[Bbbananas]

anyway loggy - you started it this time - mentioning your short stokes...
