What they're saying

A bit of conversation between teen daughter and friend. Apparently one can be too clean.
D: Have you ever seen his friend with the really clean gelled hair, and the rectangle glasses? He looks so... clean. It's weird.
F: No! I haven't but hygiene is important.

D: I know it sounds reallllllly weird, but you look at him, and the first words that come to mind are like, 'Windex', 'soap', 'Swiffer'.

Teen conversations - Oh I remember them well..
driving a group of girls in the back of our van after a game, the movies, etc. 'Course that was before texting.

At least they talked..and not texted while sitting next to each other :)

"The world is fairly studded and strewn with pennies cast broadside from a generous hand. But who gets excited by a mere penny?...It is dire poverty indeed when a man is so malnourished and fatigued that he won't stoop to pick up a penny. But if you cultivate a healthy poverty and simplicity, so that finding a penny will literally make your day, then, since the world is in fact planted with pennies, you have with your poverty bought a lifetime of days. It is that simple. what you see is what you get."
