Trust the lightBULB people to come up with a new IDEA! How apropos! Very cool though. My favourite tie dye t-shirt from the 70's was an orange and white one I called my "Creamsicle Shirt"! (I always name my clothes!) Of course, today they might make that with a fabric that smelled and tasted like one too! (Hopefully, not fabric that melted in a warm environment!)

Borrowing and modifying an idea from Ingrid , I present 14 bits of information about myself. Seven are real. Seven are false. This is also partially inspired by Carra 's post about weird things about herself. When I was into model rocketry, I used to roll my own rocket engines and make my own rocket fuel. I often had "catastrophic" engine failure. I have never been intoxicated. Not even a little bit "happy". I have had the privilege and pleasure of going out with women from every continent except Antarctica (for the obvious reason there are no indigenous Antarcticans). I volunteered one Christmas at a soup kitchen. I naively believed that such simple acts of generosity helped people over temporary setbacks until they could get back on their feet. The reality was these people were pretty wretched and needed far more than a ladled bowl of soup, a slice of turkey, some stuffing, mashed potatoes and cranberry sauce to get them "over the hump".

When we appreciate something, when we show appreciation for something, do we through our appreciation increase its value and worth? I think the act of appreciation is more than simply a good feeling, it is an action (after all this is a verb) that increases the value and worth of what we are appreciating. When I appreciate someone, I increase their worth. When I appreciate what I have, I increase its value to me.

Greetings from Perú estimado paisano.
rennyba: thanks.
irredento urbanita: I think it would be a neat shirt. You would only need one and then program it to display whatever you want, whatever your mood is.
vina: I am sure you could play videos on it - you need to go in to marketing.
