“Some people should use a glue stick instead of Chapstick.” (Pinterest) Pinterest is a sharing website that encourages users to “pin” ideas on a pinboard. The ideas are meant to inspire readers to go and do things…like using a glue stick instead of Chapstick. I smiled at that one. Do you have other inspirations for the board? I got this one from the Book of Proverbs. “He who is kind to the poor lends to the Lord, and he will repay him for his deed.” ;-) Jack
FROM CS: Hahaha! Perfect.====JACK: From the Bible...Proverbs 10:19 "When words are many, transgression is not lacking, but whoever restrains his lips is prudent."
FROM ST PAUL IN ST PAUL: good morning, Jack. sometime I will tell you about someone I know who was working in industry with some brand new super glues and he literally stuck his fingers together. they had to find a special solvent to get him "unstuck".====JACK: 'tis better to be fingers than lips.
FROM TARMART REV: "Speak less, listen more and keep them guessing as to how smart you really are! The truth might disappoint you both!!"====JACK: Those who make a living by using the mouth need to especially careful when using words.
FROM CHESTER THE GOOD: Kings who live in glass houses shouldn't stow thrones.====JACK: You might want to pin that on a Pinterest pinboard. I've read that scientists have been able to inscribe the entire Bible on the head of a pin.
FROM BLAZING OAKS: HA! SO TRUE! Another "Pinterism" is "One way of looking at speech is to say that it is a constant stratagem to cover nakedness." Harold Pinter ( The Wall St. Journal) Ponder that!====JACK: I thought that it might have been possible that Harold Pinter founded Pinterest. Nope! BTW, I had a snappy response, but I'm not into snappiness today.
FROM OUTHOUSE JUDY: Just got a chance to read this today. I laughed because I was holding a glue stick my granddaughter was using. I love Pinterest. I use it for ideas for my various crafts. I will respond with a saying my dad used a lot....he was in the Navy as a baker and a machine gunner..."Loose lips sink ships!"====JACK: I remember that Navy slogan. Those were dangerous days with German u-boats cruising off the eastern seacoast. Do you remember MASH's Hot Lips?
FROM PEPPERMINT MARY: i love this quote. at school we use the "sticky sticky glue sticks". the kids love them for the immediate gratification of adhesive. we also use the "pools of glue" method with the glue bottles...an exercise in patience. i am sure that if i would present this quote at school the children would immediately get it, since we practice being ready to listen. such uncluttered brains. i think i'll try it!====JACK: Your "sticky sticky" comment reminded me of the song your mother sang to us when we announced that we were moving to a suburb of Detroit. BTW, did you know that, at that time your dad was considering a job offer to a suburb near to where we were moving?
Little boxes on the hillside,
Little boxes made of ticky tacky,Little boxes on the hillside,
Little boxes all the same.
There's a green one and a pink one
And a blue one and a yellow one,
And they're all made out of ticky tacky
And they all look just the same.
And the people in the houses
All went to the university,
Where they were put in boxes
And they came out all the same,
And there's doctors and lawyers,
And business executives,
And they're all made out of ticky tacky
And they all look just the same.
And they all play on the golf course
And drink their martinis dry,
And they all have pretty children
And the children go to school,
And the children go to summer camp
And then to the university,
Where they are put in boxes
And they come out all the same.
And the boys go into business
And marry and raise a family
In boxes made of ticky tacky
And they all look just the same.
There's a green one and a pink one
And a blue one and a yellow one,
And they're all made out of ticky tacky
And they all look just the same.
