We have a tshirt here that reads:

Obedient women rarely make history

Guest:
Yeah PR, that kind of thing doesn't hit it off with me. Too much room for too many kinds of interpretations. And the intended interp, as I see it, is rubbish. It's like fighting for the right to wear pink.

We could have a tv programme: who would wear a tshirt like this?

I just re-read what i wrote to see if I agree with myself (I do that) and mostly, I do. I know I'm relying on so many assumptions that my head hurts, but all that does is confuse the thinking. When I get down to basics: this I know ('where the hell is the polite response to my email'*, or, 'this also I know') it simplifies things into: would I do that, whatever the reasons?

Would I do that? Would I say that? In what circumstances would I? I like asking myself those questions. Makes things clearer for me.

* As a consumer, I once let an issue with a bank (of possible internal fraud/system breakdown, way back years ago) go quiet for about three years from my first letter to the Chief Internal Auditor. I wrote again those years later and there was a new ChiefIA who answered me (with bull) in a couple of weeks. And they did still have the paperwork from me. interesting, it was.

But yes. Obedient people are the majority. I wish more didn't do it without even deciding to do it, if you see what I mean. I guess it's a failure in thinking of the long-term cause/effect line and also lack of imagination, which is probably the same thing. I don't know. Just guessing really.

Guest:
I went to a local ATM which had broken. Before I walked away I noticed the Windows XP professional logo circling around the screen. I didn't realise - or consider - before, that XP was running the machines that dispense cash.

This gave me pause for thought; and I like thinking.

teartracks:




Long time favorite. Elmer's rubber cement. The thing I love about it is that it glues and holds on most surfaces including paper, photos.  Then when you want to remove it, it's easy.  Usually doesn't make what you're removing tear.  Then any residual it leaves can be easily rubbed off.  Voila - it has done it's job.
Wouldn't apply it to any heirloom photos, papers, etc.  Don't know if that would be a proper use of it.

lighter:
Plotting bulb placement in planters and flower beds, borders and the yard.

I'm getting ready to put several kinds into a basket (there are 6 different varieties) and shake shake shake, just like you said, Hops.

Getting ready to put some in the wooded areas around the house, Amber:  )

Planning to bury them in the deep hollowed out tree planters at school.

What a lovely fall this turned out to be.
