    Default What could you contribute to the front page?

    Jill suggested a theme of "Improve your mind, improve your life, improve your world" which I think sounds great. So what could you write?

    I could easily do a series of educational articles about kimono (what is it, how to wear, etc.). I've also got some half-decent poetry.

    Tripler and I could probably get together and write a piece about explosives.

    I could talk about hail. Hail, Hail, Hail.

    Or insurance companies and how to deal with them when you are making a claim.

    Or being a contractor.

    Or volleyball.

    Or wakeboarding.

    Roofs.

    My life is a ball of suck, methinks.

    I've got a very good mime routine!

    I could do a couple of articles on things e.g. debt management, books, some reviews - usually games and books. Just don't ask me to draw anything.

    I only know about things that most people find obscure and boring: Javanese gamelan and competitiveness in developing countries. How to cook with unusual Southeast Asian ingredients is probably about as close as I can come to being interesting. (Laotian riverweed, anyone?)

    I have an article I wrote recently about sand but it's probably too boring.

    I suppose I could do more articles along the line of this one, my only contribution to the Giraffe Boards so far, though I don't know how useful or good it really is.

    It's in answer to the OP's question:
    Are we printing money? Will we have to before we're out of the woods?
    The title says it all. I hear a lot of cries that we're printing money. I see the hand-wringers and fist-stabbers. Glen Beck says we're printing money. I don't know enough about this stuff. What's the skinny?

    Count me in! Santo, I think your knowledge of the explosives materials, with my wits about employment and devices, we'd do a bang up job!

    Yes, I posted just for that joke, but I'd be thrilled to do one with you.

    Are you kidding? That was one of the finest posts I've ever read on any board.
    Hell, if I didn't do things just because they made me feel a bit ridiculous, I wouldn't have much of a social life. - Santo Rugger.

    I can write about logic. Aristotle wrote about logic. Therefore, I am Aristotle.

    Obscure doesn't mean boring. I'd like to read about competitiveness in developing countries.

    I could talk about nanotechnology. Or, about that meditation trick I developed that allows me to get sort of stoned at will.
    Something tells me we haven't seen the last of foreshadowing.

    I'm a med tech in a hospital - I could tell you what happens between the time someone draws your blood and the time a doctor gets a lab result. Or what happens after you pee in a cup. Or what the hospital does to analyze everything else than can come out of a person.

    But then, the "ask the med tech" threads never went far on the other boards... people aren't that interested, I guess.

    There's a front page?


    Wow I had no idea until reading this, just thought it was the bulletin board. Neat.

    Hey - you were really helpful to me! Thanks.

    I could contribute bitter relationship advice or cooking in heavy animal fats, the southern way.
    Something witty and just obscure enough to make you think I'm cool.

    I could write about writing.
    I'm still swimming in harmony. I'm still dreaming of flight. I'm still lost in the waves night after night...

    I'll do it. But I'm going to break your heart all over again.
