I can relate to that, Ocm?. Some of my most cherished books/notes that I still have from high school are my notebooks full of doodles. I'm surprised I learned anything, though things I didn't understand then seem to have somehow embedded in my brain through osmosis and then later they became quite clear.

I had a good dream, but now I've forgotten it.
(is this a metaphor to every single human life?)

I looked for a thread already devoted to this interesting, important topic but surprisingly didn't find any.
But I was reminded of it again this morning as I pulled my bag of Original Sun Chips from my desk to snack on as I got rolling in work. Of course all my co-workers within 50 yards starting laughing again since the bag is so damn noisy and we were just talking about FritoLay's recent announcement that they are abandoning these new "noisy" bags and going back to the good old quiet bags. The new noisy bags are a biodegradable material and, as shown on the bag, they decompose within a few months. The old quiet bags take years or more to decompose. Due to customer complaints about the noisy bags and plummeting sales of Sun Chips since they went with the new bags, FritoLay is abandoning the "green" and going red again. Another positive aspect of the noisy bags that I liked is that my kids can't sneak into my stash of Sun Chips without me knowing about it! That's my green report for the day. |

I remember the the thread about the "noisy" (ear-splitting) bags now produced by the Sun Chips parent Co. (I believe it to be the Frito-Lays Corp.). It's buried somewhere in General Discussion, timetable, 3-6 mos. ago.

Then I'm not surprised I missed it since I don't frequently look in GD to much depth other than scan thread titles for possible interest. I guess if I saw it before it didn't strike me until it became more personal. Now I want my noisy bags!

hm.. exactly a month later, and I now post what I wanted to post tomorrow (then)...
(and still, I have "stuff" left in my archives from 2.5+ sun-cycles ago, which I have not viewed more than once). Video: Chinese Factory Workers Stuffing Playing Cards At Turbo Speed I'm incorrigible (whatever that means, and if I spelled it right, and ... I don't think another word rhymes with it.)

Incorrigible,
like dealers at casinos, can be a good thing. Incorrigible, like a serial killer, can be very bad. Incorrigible, like these terrible haiku, varies quite a bit.

Thanks, Jet. I love flower petals. They're so beautiful they can bring a tear to my eye, which is what this one, found following your link, reminds me of:
 And this one seems to fit beautifully in the "wave" category:  |

Taking any joy
out of feeling depression defeats its purpose. 23 into 46 = 2 Shrugging my shoulders is almost as useful as raising my eyebrows.

Those might be close things,
related like love and hate - not to be confused. Black-and-white thinking only seems less perplexing than sorting through grays.

I don't know why I feel compelled to mention it, but that's sorta the same thing I recall remarked by a certain once-18-year-old pornstar (who's nearly mainstream famous now).

my mom was a huge fan of "As the World Turns"...she probably still would be if it was still on the air ...or on the cable
"As the World Turns is an American television soap opera which aired on CBS from April 2, 1956 to September 17, 2010." |
