The blind following the blind?

Welcome back!

TRIVIA:

The Buddhist priest and mystic, Kukai, who died on 23 April 835, is believed by his followers to have become a ‘Buddha in his own body’ by mummifying himself while still alive.

…ain’t that jes nasty. In other words, he went an killed hisself. I never did understan’ why anyone wi’ half a brain follers t’ idears of someone dumb enuff ta kill theyself. Iffen they be killin theyself, they shore ain’t got t’ answers ta th’ questions, does they? Not when they alive they ain’t, an after they dead it be a bit too late fer t’ knowin’.

It’s all about Freedom

Filed under: People — Momma @ 7:08 am

People in this country value their freedom. And the freedom to decide how you spend your time is one of the most coveted freedoms today. That is one reason why so many people are looking for ways to work from home, where they can set their own hours and gain the time and freedom to spend that time with their children, their spouses, or maybe just reading a good book. One way to gain this freedom is to have your own business, but under normal circumstances, the costs of startup can be prohibitive. But what would you say to an internet business with a setup fee of less than eighty dollars, where someone else builds your website under a domain name YOU choose, and you get to sit back and draw your commission paycheck once a month? All you have to do is see to the promotion of the site. The business in question is a low maintenance, high yield phone card business.

TRIVIA:

Cockroaches can live for nine days without their heads, at which point they die of starvation.

…jes what I wanted ta hear when I be havin’ my mornin’ coffee. I be thinkin from now on I be waitin’ till later inna mornin’ ta start readin’. Wonder how long they lives inna belly of a mouse. Mouses eat roaches. Is why we ain’t got em here. Mouses eat t’ roaches, cats eat t’ mouses. Fair enough, ta my way a thinkin’.

A bean by any other flavor….

Filed under: Food — Momma @ 3:43 am

TRIVIA:

Commercially flavored coffee beans are flavored after they are roasted and partially cooled to around 100 degrees. Then the flavors applied, when the coffee beans’ pores are open and therefore more receptive to flavor absorption.

…never seen no sense in them fancy flavored coffees noway. Coffee oughter taste like coffee. Iffen I wanted v’nilla, I’d bake me a cake er turn me some ice cream. Never did hold none wi’ thangs tryin’ ta pertend ta be what they ain’t. An there ain’t no better’n good strong coffee ya kin smell fer miles anyhow. I allus say, iffen it ain’t broke, don’ fix it.
