    Most of my socks are the same brand and style, but some are older and some are newer, and as much as I can I try to pair older together and newer together.

    Years ago I enjoyed Cherry Vanilla Coke Zero. I think it was available briefly, and then it was gone. There was the cherry kind, and there was the vanilla kind, but not both flavors together in one. Now, finally, at long last, it's back! :biggrin:

    Suggesting that twelve should be called twoteen is stupid. Clearly going by the pattern set with thirteen & fifteen, it should be twenteen. After all, you wouldn't want to call it secondteen, because then all the twenties would have to become secondies. Seconditwo, secondithree, secondifour... & who the hell wants that? :rofl:

    Well I propose that the convention for 10 through 19 match the pattern of ____ty-____ like the 20s through 90s.
    So 10 is "onety," 11 is "onety-one," 12 is "onety-two," and so on.

    Read this in one of my new books today: Maybe the Earth is just a small molecule in an immense being, and maybe the animals and vegetation on Earth are all just germs and bacteria that live on that being, more or less in balance. Except for humans, who could be a dreaded disease that could destroy the being. Then maybe human diseases like plague, TB, and malaria, etc are actually medicines taken by the immense being trying to cure itself of its disease, which would be humans. It's not clear who is winning.
    Perspective....

    Do you ever feel bad when you turn on the water and kill a bug you didn't see there?

    Personally I love this line of thought. I read a short story a long, long while back along similar lines where a man grows to giant proportions, though it's never explained how he leaves Earth but in so doing finds that our solar system itself is nothing more then an atom in a coffee table.

    What you describe sounds like the Gaia idea that Earth itself is a complicated living organism and usually is in balance but due to human development that balance is and has been thrown out of order.

    Ever noticed how the Sun comes out almost every day near the end of the day. Well folks I guess you could take it individually as the Sun saying goodnight to you personally at the end of the day. Over here even when overcast for most of the day the Sun peeps out near the end of the day and I feel like it's a friend saying bye for the day.

    Maybe I notice it more then I should because we have windows facing the sunset but most days over here somehow we almost always get a peek of Sun just before the end of the day, before it sets. I also love the way it casts patterns on the walls as it shines through the curtains.

    Hey that's an option too, ooh Bad Sun.

    Actually wasn't there a really short lived TV show last year, or maybe year before that about the Sun going wonky? I remember it being advertised then it just vanished.
