    Riddle Sideways: enough! how are you today
    Bleu Oleander: pretty good!
    Riddle Sideways: no story there
    Bleu Oleander: had a salon on edible insects last night
    Riddle Sideways: oh
    Bleu Oleander: have u ever eaten bugs?
    Riddle Sideways: think so, long ago
    Bleu Oleander: lots of interesting data and issues around the topic
    Bleu Oleander: possibly part of the solution for feeding the world's hungry
    Bleu Oleander: had brownies made with cricket flour :)
    Riddle Sideways: ah, not live insects last night
    Bleu Oleander: no, not live
    Bleu Oleander: that's a different thing all together!
    Riddle Sideways: :)
    Bleu Oleander: apparently bugs are high in protein, iron and calcium
    Bleu Oleander: serving per serving meat to bugs, bugs are more nutritious
    Riddle Sideways: have heard that
    Riddle Sideways: and have eaten a number of products made from insects
    Bleu Oleander: takes much less water to grow them and they give off way less gases to the atmosphere
    Riddle Sideways: they grow in the desert too
    Bleu Oleander: of course there is the ick factor
    Riddle Sideways: yep
    Bleu Oleander: they actually advise not to go foraging for bugs, as they may contain pesticides and/or diseases
    Bleu Oleander: best to get them from bug farms
    Riddle Sideways: hmmmm
    Riddle Sideways: organic bug farms
    Bleu Oleander: Americans are probably a ways away from adding bugs to their diets :)
    Bleu Oleander: yes, organic bug farms :)
    Riddle Sideways: how about worms?
    Bleu Oleander: thursday we have a salon on medical marijuana and friday on bats ... so an interesting week
    Bleu Oleander: yes worms too
    Bleu Oleander: mealworms?
    Bleu Oleander: grubs
    Riddle Sideways: compost pile ot back has a gzillion worms
    Bleu Oleander: all kinds of tasty things
    Riddle Sideways: what a great life
    Bleu Oleander: it is!
    Riddle Sideways: with a salon every day
    Bleu Oleander: salons are great
    Riddle Sideways: have heard many of these topics on NPR shows
    Bleu Oleander: fun conversations, interesting ideas, really broadens the mind
    Riddle Sideways: did not have to get dressed and go someplace
    Bleu Oleander: yes, we are like NPR but more intimate
    Riddle Sideways: but, could not interact
    Bleu Oleander: right
    Bleu Oleander: its all in the interaction!
    Riddle Sideways: need to get out more
    Bleu Oleander: unless of course you have social phobias, then it would be hard :)
    Riddle Sideways: very few phobias
    Bleu Oleander: I often feel that I would like to just stay home, but always feel glad I decided to go
    Riddle Sideways: is the fear of Donald Trump a phobia
    Bleu Oleander: trump phobia ... rampant these days!
                   --BELL--
    Riddle Sideways: great piece on The Daily Show may 12

    Bleu Oleander: ah funny I bet
    Riddle Sideways: a "rofl" session

    Riddle Sideways: weekend edition (again staying home and listen to radio)
    Riddle Sideways: had a piece on urban foraging
    Bleu Oleander: what is that? like dumpster diving?
    Riddle Sideways: a guy takes groups around L.A. (think it was) to forage plants
    Bleu Oleander: ah plants
    Riddle Sideways: yeah, they said it sounded like dumpsters
    Riddle Sideways: the group walked the city, gathered plants and prepared/solar cooked them in a park
    Bleu Oleander: interesting
    Riddle Sideways: yes
    Riddle Sideways: yesterday, while watching the tree prunings
    Riddle Sideways: pulled several handfulls of garlic weeds
    Riddle Sideways: and had in dinner
    Bleu Oleander: good?
    Riddle Sideways: the shift in attitude toward dinner
    Riddle Sideways: like the insects
    Bleu Oleander: yes
    Bleu Oleander: actually many of our perceived problems can be helped with a shift in attitude!
    Riddle Sideways: the only thing you have the power to change
    Bleu Oleander: yes :)
    Riddle Sideways: need to remember to adjust attitude often
    Bleu Oleander: although maybe not the only thing :)
    Riddle Sideways: often that adjustment is in the form of laughter
    Bleu Oleander: it is amazing what a small change in attitude can do
    Bleu Oleander: yes, laughter is great
    Bleu Oleander: try to get as much in as I can
    Riddle Sideways: surprisingly, many people don't like to be laughed at
    Bleu Oleander: laughed with is better
    Riddle Sideways: yes, tried to do that,
    Riddle Sideways: but they aren't laughing
                   --BELL--
    Bleu Oleander: :)
    Riddle Sideways: some of the situations humans get into are so funny
    Bleu Oleander: indeed
    Riddle Sideways: but, hard for them to see themselves
    Riddle Sideways: in a removed light
    Bleu Oleander: pov is critical
    Riddle Sideways: can't think of the phrase that would work
    Riddle Sideways: road rage is for being mad at
    Riddle Sideways: Hi Adams

    Adams Dubrovna: yes, still cool
    Bleu Oleander: drive-by laughing :)
    Adams Dubrovna: nice thought
    Adams Dubrovna: I hope your back is a little better Riddle
    Riddle Sideways: when there is a stranger e.g. in Costco doing something that just makes you laugh
    Riddle Sideways: a little, thanks
    Riddle Sideways: standing helps
    Riddle Sideways: friend said it was snowing in Mich
    Riddle Sideways: yesterday or day before
    Adams Dubrovna: ouch
    Adams Dubrovna: it is unseasonably cool
    Riddle Sideways: looks over a calendar ... says it is May
    Riddle Sideways: that would define unseasonable
    Adams Dubrovna: weather doing what scientists predicted a decade ago--i.e. getting wacky
    Riddle Sideways: same friend sings "Laugh kills Lonesome" btw
    Riddle Sideways: those darn scientists
    Adams Dubrovna: :)
    Bleu Oleander: :)
    Riddle Sideways: missing the good ole days when the wacky guy at the gas station
    Riddle Sideways: would say the wackiest thing while pumping
    Bleu Oleander: have to pump and talk to yourself these days
    Riddle Sideways: NJ stills has people pump your gas for you
    Adams Dubrovna: not in NJ
    Adams Dubrovna: yes
    Bleu Oleander: yes, was just going to say that!
    Adams Dubrovna: :)
    Adams Dubrovna: and the gas is cheaper than in most states
    Riddle Sideways: But don't cell phone talk while pumping
    Bleu Oleander: is NJ unique with that or other states too?
    Adams Dubrovna: I think there is at least one other state
    Adams Dubrovna: none of the states I visit :)
    Adams Dubrovna: Oregon?
    Bleu Oleander: I can't remember the last time someone pumped gas for me!
