13: You Say You Want a Revolution
1. THIS is what happens when you give thousands of kids thousands of stickers.
2. Interesting that as the globe is literally heating up and the people on it are heating up too, protesting injustices here and worldwide.
3. If tingle is a quieter version of jingle, is tangle less mangled than jangle?
4. I like to lie about my age by a year to give it some buffering time.
5. With neuroscience, we can confirm what our ancestors took for granted—that letting babies get distressed is a practice that can damage children and their relational capacities in many ways for the long term. We know now that leaving babies to cry is a good way to make a less intelligent, less healthy but more anxious, uncooperative and alienated person who can pass the same or worse traits on to the next generation. More at Dangers of Crying it Out, Psychology Today HERE.
6. It had to happen sooner or later. While googling where I live, Floyd Virginia, I came across a blog by a woman named Virginia Floyd.
7. I’ve loved fat since I was a little girl and a friend asked me what I had for supper and I answered “fat.” Turns out “Fat is Where It’s At.” See why HERE.
8. Love makes the world go round. It revolves, evolves and resolves to solve (which is basically a statement using all the same word with the letters moved around).
9. Best use of the word EVOLVE HERE.
10. When I was growing up a flip was a popular hairstyle, bump was a dance, fink was the word for geek and neat was what came before cool.
11. Flip also meant giving someone lip.
12. Today’s soundtrack HERE.
13. The year 2011 in 2 ½ minutes HERE.

Ugh! I have never cared for fat. I cut almost all of it away from my meat. It’s fine for “adding flavor,” but I can’t stand chewing it. Good to know I don’t need to give up my dairy products, though. 😉

I agree on the evolve poster and thank you for the article on fat. I’d comment on other things, but I’m in sensory overload from the riot of colors with the sticker exhibit… 🙂
Happy T13,

I don’t know why I get so emotional about the past year! It always chokes me up and then to say “We made It”!
I also forgot how much I love the Beatles and that song!!
I like the stickers in moderation, when they first started……the end result is overly confusion and no pattern!

What a wonderful list! It’s fun and diverse! A fair bunch of great links in there too. I’m glad I stopped by =)
Happy Thursday!

This was such and enjoyable read! I recall being told I was being “flip” – I recently heard on a tv commercial, “You giving me back sass?’ another whisper from my past.

eat things in moderation, there’s the key 🙂

Interesting list. I am breathless waiting on the revolution. I can’t wait to see how it turns out.

There’s also The “Flip” Video Camera….It is interesting how the meaning of things changes with the decades—Who would have thought “The Bomb” would ever be used instead of “It’s GREAT!”
Love the idea of The Stickers, though it did become overwhelming towards the end of the pictures….
As always, a wonderful T13 Colleen.

Wonder when or how I stopped reading Ode. Great little magazine. Their articles are fat-cinating.
