I pride myself on “common sense”. However, that hasn’t stopped me, at least a couple of times in my life, to do something so utterly risky (stupid) I can’t bring myself to confess to it. Shame is mine – and as far as risk assessment goes I should be banned to the desert where they don’t have roads.
ya gotta love calvin.
he knows himself completely!
I remember always hearing …
“so and so hasn’t got enough common sense to come in out of the rain!”
you’ve probably heard that too.
well.
I happen to LIKE being in the rain.
so I agree with calvin!
and I think it’s all pretty much a moot point anyway.
for years I was told, if you move you will have lost your common sense – this in in relationship to the fact that the Delta Ave house was a “hop,skip,jump” to the Mall…and it was.
but it had problems which worsened this year after the stupid house washing episode and then the building site boundary stuff…
as soon as I had organised to move it was from many “great away from the cold and damp”
and now those who are have been here all seem to have a different stance…”it’s not damp!” No one has mentioned hop-skip-jump – or the infrequent bus service…
yesterday my friend who doesn’t have a car either – said “well it’s nice walk to the Mall etc…” and he is so right. Only one busy side road to cross over on; the rest all have zebra crossings…
Common sense is often ignoring other people’s advice. They often mean well, but they don’t have enough information. Andy always told Kaitlin, “Free advice is worth what you paid for it.” That’s not always true, but usually is when the advice givers are sure they know what’s best for us.
What is common sense?
Your guess is as good as mine. But a lot of people like to use the term.
Unfortunately, common sense isn’t always so common. What I believe to be sensible thought, actions, or behavior may not be the same for some others.
I agree. It depends on one’s past experiences and view of life. That means there is a wide variety of opinions.

Yes. To each his own. 🙂
