Where do ideas come from--I have a cold

[abcrystcats]

You're right about the whiskey anyways. That's one idea you have that works.

[YABYUM]

I find that my best ideas come from other people. I am a conversation junky. Thats why I love those hole in the wall kind of pubs. There is a seedy little dive in every town and I always seek them out. I find that these types of places hold the hardest tortured sould around. Men and women who want to tell thier story to anyone who will listen. I ask questions and they answer. They feel like someone cares and they love to be probed for thier share of information. Every man and woman has a passion subject, a subject that they are chock full of verse on, these are the topics I am probing for with my questions. Once I find it, they spill thier soul and I mop it up. My personal passion topic is politics and books, I love to talk about writing and writers and politicians. Ideas are easy to find, just have to find the right muse.

same here yab. i agree, my best ideas come from bouncing off of other people. i to am a conversation junky and even the occasional people watcher.

i love asking questions especially to those you know want give you text book answers, when my sister was in las vegas we road the monorail from one side of the strip to the other to listen to some of the bizare conversations going around.

sometimes the quietest people are the ones who open up when asked questions and sometimes they give some really good thoughts.

LROD: (ideas) Santa brings them ... he pulls them out of his sack.
Chicken soup & Airborne are good for colds.

Airborne® was developed by a school teacher who was sick of getting sick in the classroom. It can be taken 2 ways: at the first sign of a cold symptom, or before entering crowded, potentially germ-infested environments, like airplanes and offices. Airborne's unique natural formula with 17 active ingredients, offers maximum vitamin and herbal support for hours! Plus it contains natural ginger for nausea!

Works a 3rd way too, works as a pick-me-up and quicker return back to good health aid while you have a cold.

After I take handfuls of various vitamins and mash inquiringly on my lymph nodes, the most paranoid delusions set in. And the worst, the worst of them all, is this one: Suppose you never have another idea?

Jesus H Christ Clay, I think I might have been the one that past those germs onto you. I had it a couple weeks ago, seriously do you think some mad hacker has figured out a way of converting silicon beasties that you could catch from a dirty keyboard. Anyhow, I had the malaise a couple weeks ago, and that is the idea that came to me. The most interesting part of the illness (have I ever told you that I am a hypnochondriac, no wait I meant a hypocondriac, fuk those little red scribbles. I can barely stay focused on what I am reading hear, so anyway the most interesting phenomena of the illness is/was the phlegm. Interesting colors. I had a pretty good wheeze and rattle in my breathing. Much better now, at this moment I am enjoying a fine cigarette “sold american” Hope you is doing better. I promised myself a nice shot of whiskey straight up, something lowdown and southern. I deserve it. Take care bro, counting on you for the long haul

one edit two aspirin

Malaise:

Id felt like I was a vacuum tube ready to implode. A hollow feelinng like a limbless rotted out trunk of a dead tree that used to stand before my garden like a totem pole.

I had no lack of ideas however; it was so easy for me to be conscious of my ragged breath fro a change. The one big fixed idea that came shrieking to my mind was pretty got dam Freudian., if you will please excuse my deficiency in German. (Did I ever tell you that I took German I 3 times and could not pass it?)


Freud's suicide. I contemplated Id with a distant fearful child's mind.

Smashing Lymph Nodes, sounds like a good name for a band.


Traveller I missed you on my first reply, I meant to stop and bow to you.

By listening to those communications you can learn more about imagination and ideas. As for methods one can use to do that, I'm not sure, maybe start a dream journal. I know that paying attention to my dreams influences my creativity.

last edit, two aspirin.

Traveller, this is for you ...

Excellent
I needed an extra lamp actually
plus
this one looks cute
and attention seeking
lol


Tinkerjack, you're welcome
I hope aspirin provoked desired effect
speaking of that, does anyone know if guarana powder works against headaches?

Coca Cola can work for colds and stomach illness (although for the latter it's best to stir before drinking, to remove the bubbles)
plus, it gets rid of rust

heh
in rust we trust
I like that
