You know that incessant tune that sometimes plays in your head for hours or days at a time and you can't shake it? I have this affliction (among others) of sometimes when I click on a Forum "Discussion Topic Area" of noticing immediately how two or three or four subjects in a row on the index seem to oddly relate to one another. Let me explain: I think once I noticed that I viewed three threads in a row that were "Chili Bean Dip", Boiled (devilled) Eggs, and "Cat Using Toilet". Was there a similarity? Weren't those natural progressions, one after the other? Then over on another subject area appeared: "Kissing Everyone", "Bare Naked Ladies", "Nuts & Bolts", "Sticky Situation" followed by "Virus Alert".....boy, talk about oddly connected subjects appearing back to back. Think about the natural progression of that: Naked ladies kissing everyone nuts and bolts sticky situations (leading up to) virus alert. And how about these two appearing one right under the other: "Cartoon Character" and "Photo of Safety". God planned for those two to go together or they would not have followed one after the other. Or the odd trifecta of "The Nude Gambler", "Ray's Pinnup Picture" and "Another Termination", all appearing like successive chapters in a book. Or, this one could be stages in a dream; "Not Him again", "Turnover", "Pregnancy". Wasn't there something one time about a boil water alert in Tennessee followed by Christy's pregnant? (Implying it might be something in the water?). If you let it, this can be maddening! Am I the only one noticing these odd apparitions? Could I have a rare brain cell? Did I set myself up with that last question or what?
Oh, almost forgot this one. It was odd that these followed in order one afternoon on the FMLA Site: "Sensitive Topic", "Holding the Position", "Pregnancy", "I'm in a pickle", "Pain in The Back", "Can Anything Be Done?", "Period of Incapacity".

I'm just a little concerned that's all.
I suggest a nice cold one and that might help the silence the voices. Have a great weekend.
Oh man, it's worse than that. Here it is Sunday morning, I'm at my son's house on vacation and I'm actually posting on the forum answering one of Don's far out posts.
Oh and Don, concerning the trifecta that I'm in, I'm not a gambler. x0:)
Don's twin sounds like he's been drinking directly out of the Mississippi river. 8-}
Thanks for the smiles!
I have often wondered if anyone else noticed, or if by the time others sign on the order has changed. But the fact that I have noticed is not necessarily a good thing for Don. After all, I am known for my weirdness...
"Have you seen the restaurant?", "help us spice things up", "fuel shortage" and for dessert "the forum or bonbons".
I think I've been sorting through way too many resumes 8-}
To answer your question, I did not notice the order of the subjects, but now I will, I am sure. I am picturing some of you out there intentionally replying to some threads, just to manipulate them to appear in a particular order. Yet another way to amuse oneself with the Forum.
