Folded thought (ramblings) of the day:

Here are some words to consider sent in by Darla.  

"Keep on letting your thoughts take you to new areas.  
As a society we have gotten to the point where we tend 
to discourage unique thought. In another time and place 
the man or woman who looked at life through a different 
lens would be celebrated. Today we seek to cure those 
who say what many of us think in our secret closets. Not 
everyone who is different needs the care of a mental 
health provider, perhaps if we learned to listen instead 
of judge we would grow."

I think I'll file that one in the "couldn't say it better 
myself" category.  

And here's my little quote for you today:  "Don't believe 
everything you read or hear.  Even if it's true."

Now, as this is Halloween weekend, I couldn't let you 
off the hook without listing some things that I personally 
find spooky.

Martha Stewart is a billionaire.  Starbucks.  You and me 
and the thirty or so people I can see from where I sit are 
all looking at computer screens.  I can see thirty people 
from where I sit.  Donald Trump is running for president.  
Someone compared Below the Fold with the movie "Fight Club."  
Filming for the "Charlie's Angels" movie is imminent.  
Prozac and viagra are common terms.  Last night someone 
asked me if I had a pager number.  Eyebrows (especially 
Sam Donaldson's), Siegfried and Roy, how good the Yankees 
are, white guys who high-five each other, popular music, 
people who go to John Tesh concerts, rock stars who 
don't seem to age, daytime television, self-help books, 
people who use terms like "think outside the box" and 
"team player," big sweaters, chicken pot pie, the variety 
of eye glasses available, HMOs, old metal file cabinets, 
lost luggage, extenuating circumstances, the horrible 
misuse of the word "tolerance," go-getters, ironed 
shirts... 

Okay, I guess I should stop now.  But I don't want to 
(grin, grin).  Have a great Halloween and I'll be 
talking to you next week.
