Daily Dose: Mental Hygiene

14 Comments 30 April 2012

From the Playground of L & L on Facebook.

It is going to be hard to explain this one. Needless to say, Laura Boggess and Matthew Kreider were complicit. And now we are all trying to make our next mental hygiene appointment.

Is that mint floss? Because if it is, I’m more likely to go ahead and use it.

Is it the thin kind or the thicker stuff that’s like tape? Is it tensile? And brand. . . is it “green” – that is, does it come from a certain Burt or maybe Tom in Maine?

If it’s tensile, will that improve my grammar?

Sometimes one simply needs to call the dentist.

Ouch, that looks painful. But, anything to get rid of the plaque and avoid cavities & halitosis.

OH! MY! This is just…perfect. Grinning ear to ear here. Sure is good medicine.

Good for writers and poets as it produces a new line of thought.
Actually, this is how the string theory was thought up.

I’ve heard L.L. has some things to say about string theory…

Ha! You’ve got a memory like a steel trap, Lyla. How do you get it open for cleaning day?

Actually, I have to credit Jennifer Lee for that one. She linked Dan King interview in another conversation recently where string cheese — I mean string theory — made an appearance.

(And, for real, I typed string cheese. I noticed and decided not to cover my slip.)

Love it. You may be interested to know that I had a cheese crown when I worked with that Team. I believe it was bestowed by Dan King. Kind of went nicely with the title Laura Boggess gave me… Spam Queen.

Hmmm. I need some new food-royalty monikers that are more sophisticated. Or at least a little healthier

Lyla, it was appropriate that you didn’t delete the “cheese” in a comment that mentioned Jennifer. You know her and her old-fashioned typewriter.

Sponsor Poetry (& Happiness)

Every day at Tweetspeak we work hard to bring happiness and personal growth to our audience. Sure, it costs. We could talk about that in terms of what it takes to make a house downpayment, for instance (and not in South Dakota either, you betcha).

Or we could just say this: we do it happily. If you want to be part of that happiness in a small way, you could "Subscribe" for a year. Well, and that would make us happy too. Yep.

We aren't offering anything gimmicky in return. Just a chance to make us smile and keep us mortgage-free. And either way, Tweetspeak will be here for you every day.

We'd love to tweet or Facebook our thanks to you if you sponsor. (And that's no gimmick.) Just tell us not to if you prefer to stay secret.
