Top of the Food Chain

Top of the Food Chain

If you think fats and oils are at the top of the food chain, you deserve at least partial credit for a correct answer. But bacteria breaks down oil in this rock-paper-scissors game we call Life.

For the first half of geological time, our ancestors were bacteria. Most creatures still are bacteria, and each one of our trillions of cells is a colony of bacteria.
Quotation from Richard Dawkins

Salad bars are like a restaurant’s lungs. They soak up the impurities and bacteria in the environment, leaving you with much cleaner air to enjoy.
Quotation from Doug Coupland

If you don’t change, then what’s the point of anything happening to you?
Another quotation from Doug Coupland

Beauty Rest

Beauty Rest

We all need Beauty Rest. Collagen’s catalytic work regenerates skin cells faster at night, peaking around 2 am, fighting aging and wrinkles while also repairing joints and tissue. Sleep also reduces stress, improves memory and is considered an acceptable alibi.

Blessing on him who invented sleep —the mantle that covers all human thoughts, the food that appeases hunger, the drink that quenches thirst, the fire that warms cold, the cold that moderates heat, and, lastly, the general coin that purchases all things, the balance and weight that equals the shepherd with the king, and the simple with the wise.
Quotation from Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra, Don Quixote

Every Negative has a Corresponding Positive

Nuclei can decay by positron emission; they may also decay by electron capture, so I’ll try to be positive for you. A life in equilebrium is a happy life.

Gravitation naturally does not exist for this observer. She must fasten herself with strings to the floor, otherwise the slightest impact against the floor will cause her to rise slowly towards the ceiling of the room.
Quotation from Albert Einstein, The Equality of Inertial and Gravitational Mass as an Argument for the General Postulate of Relativity

The meeting of two personalities is like the contact of two chemical substances; if there is any reaction, both are transformed.
Quotation from Carl Jung

Hungry for Love

Hungry for Love

I think we all hunger for love even when we have it, for without it, we are a shell of what we could be.

I compare myself with my former self, not with others. Not only that, I tend to compare my current self with the best I have been… When I am my present “normal” self, I am far removed from when I have been my liveliest, most productive, most intense, most outgoing and effervescent. In short, for myself, I am a hard act to follow.
Quotation from Kay Redfield Jamison, An Unquiet Mind: A Memoir of Moods and Madness

Avoiding the Crash Wall

President Obama won the Nobel Peace Prize “for his extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples.”
Let us wish him well for all our sakes.

I intend to close Guantanamo, and I will follow through on that. I have said repeatedly that America doesn’t torture. And I’m gonna make sure that we don’t torture. Those are part and parcel of an effort to regain America’s moral stature in the world.
Quotation from President Barack Obama

If you’re walking down the right path and you’re willing to keep walking, eventually you’ll make progress.
Another Quotation from President Obama

Preaching to the Choir

Preaching to the Choir

Does this pertain to you? We get along most of the time but it’s because I don’t always say what I feel. This relates not only to relationships, but also internally, when we talk to ourselves. It’s sometimes hard to find the right balance between honesty and harmony.

How to Stop Feeling Like Your Life Isn’t Good Enough (Wikihow.com)

Did St. Francis preach to the birds? Whatever for? If he really liked birds, he would have done better to preach to the cats.
Quotation from Rebecca West

It is a stupid goose that listens to the fox preach.

The Runaway Runway Bag

This happened of a friend of mine. She loaded her groceries,
then drove off with her handbag still on top of the car.
Which begs the question: What did her bag say about her?

In fashion it’s good not to have too many principles.
Quotation from Ines De La Fressange

Never offend people with style when
you can offend them with substance.
Quotation from Tony Brown

p.s. I’m away for a few days.

Overflow Error: Scaling the Application

What do you trust more: Your mind or your heart?
Everyone says to “follow your heart” as if it’s more
reliable than the mind. But doesn’t the heart play
tricks on us, just like the mind does? What’s reliable?

What is an Overflow Error? (webopedia.com)

“A kind heart he hath.
A woman would run through fire and water for such a kind heart.”
Quotation from William Shakespeare, The Merry Wives of Windsor
