Jim's comment on my post about Wyatt started me thinking. Perhaps I could make a successful home business out of Wyatt's mud pies. However, if I sell real mud pies, I would probably run afoul of the FDA for selling something disgusting that some goofball might mistakenly think was real food. If I sell food that looked like a mud pie, then I would have to go through the rigamarole of getting all the permits, inspections, etc. one needs to sell a food product. So, never mind. Yet another case of a budding entrepreneur having her idea shot down before it could even take wing. *sigh* --------------------------------- Do you know anyone who is always upbeat and cheerful? I'm not talking about the fakey ones, the ones who seem all bubbly, but you know are really not. I know a few people who are genuinely cheerful and bubbly all the time, and they always amaze me. It isn't as if they all have carefree lives, either. They have had their share of sorrows and loss, but they remain relentlessly upbeat. Weird, isn't it? Every time I see someone like that I say, "I want the drug they are taking." Mr. Minimom came up with a name for it... we'll call it "Perkydan". I bet it would sell like mad. I would love to discover their secret. It just can't be natural!  Oops, I'm sure I would have to fight with the FDA over that one. Rats! How am I going to make my first million, if every idea I have is thwarted by the government? ----------------------------- I love reading about finance and the economy and watching the business news channels on TV. I don't know why, since I don't understand half of it, but I find it fascinating. I used to watch the financial shows on Fox News every Saturday morning, but they started having some liberal goobers on to be "fair and balanced", I guess. It ruined the shows for me. Listening to those people is bad for my blood pressure. This information overload has led me to one conclusion: These people have no more idea of what is going to happen in the economy and the stock market than my 2 goofy dogs do. As soon as one makes a recommendation, the next one disagrees completely. This has caused me to change my financial strategy yet again. Instead of burying my money, stuffing it in my mattress, or investing in the stock market, I am going to blow it on lottery tickets. Seems like better odds than investing in stocks. Don't bother to thank me for the great advice. It's just one more service I provide here. -------------------- Why do computers try to aggravate me so? I just tried to add a Jussi Bjorling album to the "listening to" section, and it won't work. Yes, he was the greatest tenor. |
