Some Stray Thoughts That Needed A Place To Land
Sometimes I think some of the biggest barriers to Peace and joy are the little thoughts that seem to hang on and on and on. They are the death by a thousand cuts in the modern world. Well I am going to put some of mine down today andrelease them now. So when I think of them from now on it will be with a smile instead of a snarl.
- Adapting?
- I love my technology—maybe not as much as some folks but at least as much as most…… but I spend way, way, way, way, too much time looking for the right adapters for the right devices. Now it would be different if they were really that much different but they just aren’t . In fact, on one end they almost all have a “Usb” I think that stands for universal service bus… although it could stand for Usually Something Broken or —-ummm somebody borrowed it I don’t know. The thing I know is that all these adapters are the same on one side so when you grab that end you think you are about done connecting this thing so it will work or charge. Then you come to the other end which could have one of about five different shapes and you are either happy because you have what you need or there is the distinct possibility that you don’t in which case you have two options. Find an old device that fits that adapter and plug it in to see if it will work well enough to get the job done or you can dig around for another adapter until you find the one you were looking for. Well if these people figured out ONE universal end don’t you think they could figure out the OTHER end? #Apple, #Nokia,#Cannon, #HP — we will still buy your other high-priced stuff…just get the chord thing figured that out…you can... I know you can…. We are on the verge of having cars that can drive us around with almost no help and we have cameras in ourselves for the fridge… we can do this. Maybe our president can do like Kennedy did with the space race and swear we are going to get this figured out by the end of the decade. I know that's only one year—but those scientists didn’t have Google, or Siri, or anything.
- Next . Things that we should have an app for…Okay the cost is not the problem so let’s work on this…
Yep I
Every child’s toy that makes sound should have a chip that links with their parents smart phone and thus the sound can be adjusted from there. While you are at it put one of those locator tiles in the little tot’s favorite stuffed animal so we can find them immediately. This would lead to hundreds if not thousands of hours of more peace and joy in our households.
Last on my bucket list…
Finally— we regulate all kinds of things but we are missing some rules that we should have. Have you ever noticed how many bottles are in the average shower? The shower should have to contain holders for two items per person per household and no more. I would say only one.but that would cause way too many domestic disputes. How many different types of shampoo and conditioner do we really need in one shower? I have been in houses where three people live and there are six different types of shampoo in the shower which leads to big problems. If there is more than one kind an of shampoo and you didn’t bring some you don’t even know who to ask if it is okay to use some of theirs… and that’s just plain irritating. then there is the razor location situation. I understand that some people really like to shave in the shower and why …and that’s all good. However, some folks replace the protective cover, some people don’t. Some people put the razor in the soap rack and some people place it on the side of the tub/shower nearest the drain end Yet others leave it near the other end of the shower. All that is okay except when you hear a razor (the sharpest object in most homes) hit the shower floor. Of cours this is usually when you are washing your are using one of the 13 types of shampoo you sorted through. Then you reach down with your eyse full of soap to try to find it… you could get cut immediately, but maybe not. You might take a step in one direction or another to attempt to locate it again and step on it which is always pleasant.
We can solve this by issuing everyone one government licensed shower and bath buckets hat you teach your kids to carry with them at all times on trips or in college dorms etc. You take your bucket in with you and you take it out when you are done. You may think I’m a little out of line with this one…...(or whole post)--but the next time you hear a big crash in the bathroom and your heart skips a beat wondering if someone fell because three bottles just hit the floor very loudlyyou’ll reconsider my thoughts. we can achieve some peace and joy in some of the strangest places….
And speaking of strange… that’s enough strange ideas for one day
Have a fabulous rest of your day and tomorrow too as I won’t be posting until Tuesday.
