Oh That’s Good, No That’s Bad...

These past few days it just seems like things haven’t worked out the way that I have planned them. No matter how well thought out, and how much care I have put into my preparations, not one thing has gone the way that I had worked out in my mind. But with that being said, about the time that I was about to say poor me, something else happened that would make me grateful that adversity had struck. One example would be that I was supposed to go to a workshop on Monday and Tuesday, the water main broke at the facility and it got cancelled. Twenty minutes later the phone rings and it is Terri with car problems (her wheel fell off) and so now I am glad that I will be in town to help her out. So goes my existence these past few days.

I am reminded of a song that I heard many years ago called "Oh That’s Good, No That’s Bad." In case you don’t remember it, or weren’t around in 1966, here are the words that can still bring a smile today:)

Blessings

OH THAT'S GOOD, NO THAT'S BAD
(DeWayne Blackwell)
Sam The Sham & The Pharaohs - 1966

(Ohhhhh, that's bad!) No, that's good!

Not long ago I was walking down the street
When a woman in a car knocked me off my feet
(Ohhhhh, that's bad!) No, that's good!

My insurance paid me a lot of dough
More money than I'd seen in a year's payroll
(Ohhhhh, that's good!) No, that's bad!

My doctors' bills is where my money went
And all I had left was a very bad limp
(Ohhhhh, that's bad!) No, that's good!

'Cause the way I walked got me a role
As the Marshall’s partner on a TV show
Pretty young actresses started hanging 'round
And every night we'd do the town

(Ohhhhh, that's good!) No, that's bad!

I ended up back in a hospital bed
'Cause my horse fell on my bad leg
(Ohhhhh, that's bad!) No, that's good!

'Cause just when I was feeling my worst
I fell in love with a beautiful nurse
(Ohhhhh, that's good!) No, that's bad!

'Cause I found out she was the doctor's wife
Now I'll be in a wheelchair the rest of my life
'Cause no matter how I pleaded and begged
He operated on my good leg

(Ohhhhh, that's bad!) No, that's AWFUL!!
