Sincere Question

There are some things in life that I don’t understand, such as why the following foods exist:

Pre-packaged sandwiches

Green-apple flavored anything (except actual green apples)

Pasta salad (but I love actual pasta)

Butter cookies in a tin

I honestly want to know if you know anybody who likes any of these things (I’m guessing green apple has some fans).

Joel, why do you have to hate on good food? Green apple, good. Pasta salad, good. (ok some, not all) Even pre-packaged sandwiches are good but maybe that depends on where you get them. I basically agree about the butter cookies in a tin though. I think they're just for looks.

What about Entenmann's baked goods? So gross. If the food I eat can also be used to fuel my car, I draw the line. Blaah. Every time I see someone at the supermarket waiting to buy these, i want to smack the package out of their hands and yell, "Why? why? why?!"

Hey, I like those butter cookies in the tin cans. We get them every Christmas and they last until Easter.

I like the butter cookies, too. Green Apple candy isn't bad.. the only thing I agree with you on is the pre-packaged sandwiches.

I had an onion tied to my belt, which was the style at the time. Now, you couldn't get white onions because of the war; all you could get...

Do you ever get stuck in a conversation that you can’t get out of? I’m not talking about those times when you have to be somewhere else or there’s a rational need to leave, but rather those times when, with every word the other person utters (it’s typically just a two-person conversation), your brain threatens to escape your body and make a break for it. All you can do is try to play some old TV theme songs in your head, or maybe design circuits if you’re the engineering type, all the while searching for an opportunity to escape. Now I’m boring myself just thinking about those situations.

Thirty Thoughts

1. Is that more hair in the shower drain every morning? 2. What's the big deal? It's just a number with a zero at the end. Why should we consider that significant? 3. Am I still allowed to wear shorts? 4. I need to buy a house within the next five years or we won't have it paid off by retirement age. Then again, my generation won't be able to retire until age 80, so I shouldn't worry. 5. I really should be eating more green, leafy vegetables. If I leave potatoes in the fridge long enough, will that count? 6. Going back to school is getting less and less likely. Then again, sending kids to school will be enough trauma. 7. At least I no longer look like I'm 12, which I did until I was about 23. 8. I will never wear my cell phone on my belt. 9. For some reason, there's a big difference between having a kid and having kid s . 10. You kids get off the lawn! 11. I wonder when my memory will start to go. 12. Inside of me beats the heart of an 18-year-old. At leas...

Moral Compass

On a scale of 1 to 10 (with 1 being “afraid to step on a blade of grass” and 10 being “I’m gonna kill everyone!”), how bad is it if I were to warm up my car in the morning for 10 minutes before coming to work?
