ME Liz Strauss wrote this at 7:37 pm

Wishful Thinking

For those who come looking for a short, thoughtful read, a blogging life discussion, or a way to gradually ease back into the week, I offer this Blogging Question.

What do you wish someone would invent?

    I wish someone would invent something to make me want to make healthier choices (he said eating a Klondike Bar).

    I wish someone would invent a way for people around the world to build a community where they could converse on any subject at any time of the day or night no matter what race, creed, color or nationality with no barriers to get in the way of said conversation.

    DOH!!!

    I think someone already did, I think it’s called Blogging.

    Oh Chris. That’s a good one. I guess that would have to be a healthy Klondike Bar.

    I don’t like Klondike Bars to start with. I’m going to get a fudgesicle

    I wish someone would invent a spigot for our stomachs that is painless to install and can be tucked out of sight. Then when we eat too much or want to eat as much as we want, we could just open the spigot and let the excess food come out.

    I have seriously wished for this many times. :D

    Hsien Lei,
    That\’s such a good one!!! I bet there are lots of folks who would like that too. :)

    Something that gives you a physical kick up the arse when you write a blog post or have an idea but don’t act upon it straight away. I need this more than anything. Example #1 out of 10,387, I have a almost identical blog post to this sitting as a draft from 2 weeks ago.

    Anthony,
    Sometimes I think that you and I are the same person. I find that happens to me way more often than I care to reflect on. Perhaps the monkeys can help with that. . . .

    Anthony said

    Nope. I’ve just fired the monkeys because of this latest Hey, I had that idea incident. This post was the last straw. New post coming very soon - Ideas without action are worthless.

    ME Strauss said

    I’m with you. ideas that just sit aren’t worth very much to anyone. I’m looking forward to your next post.
