Widdershins wants me to write a post about something other than small parasites that live in the narrow margin above our eyelashes. (Actually, I think Widdershins begged for less creepy content.)
I can think of a few topic ideas.
Why do our computers stall or otherwise act out in corresponding proportions to our frantic need to actually do something important?
Why do men refuse to change their belt size, preferring instead to loop it low under their ever expanding abdomens?
Why do men at gyms, sit so long on the benches, staring off into mirror space?
Why don’t they turn that circuit machine, where the woman in workout shorts, has to splay her legs and work at bringing her knees together, toward the wall?
Why are baby products displayed in the same aisle as pet products in bigger grocery stores?
Why are disposable diapers on the same end cap with the six packs at gas and grab stores?
Why do the cable news anchors always shout the news when they have those very cool lapel microphones?
Why can’t all of the places I shop remind me I already own that item, like Amazon does when I am about to buy a book?
Okay Widdershins, I know you are out there, you said you check in every few days, in my son’s words, ‘choose your pick.’ Actually, anyone reading this is free to comment, pick your choose if that suits you. What question should I try to answer in a future post?

Well, I’ve got a twelve-pack, and I never ate a disposable diaper in my life…honest
I like the computer topic. Seems there is some force out there that strikes when least convenient. I think Big Brother is now Big Grandpa..and none too happy about the maturity
Audrey said – Just a follow-up note. I mentioned my gym answers at work today, and the Fitness Director dragged me into the fitness center to prove that the hip abductor machine (the spread leg machine) is facing the wall.
Thanks Audrey, now I have a name for this machine. In the more expensive gym, across town, the machine is turned to the wall.
Now, you got me thinking a scene where the protag cannot use the machine because it is turned away from the entry and there is no mirror for her to use while avoiding the antag….
I am glad to have a name for it and I have boxes filled with snippets and scenes that will never make it to human eyes, this might be one of them.
See you Wednesday.

Just a follow-up note. I mentioned my gym answers at work today, and the Fitness Director dragged me into the fitness center to prove that the hip abductor machine (the spread leg machine) is facing the wall.
He wanted people to know that the YMCA of Indiana County (PA) does it’s best to make the female members feel comfortable. There is also no mirror on the wall that the machine faces.
The men in our gym don’t get sneak peeks. Maybe that’s why we have so many female members? 😉
1 – computer stall – To show us that computers really run the world, not us.
2 – belt size – Denial. As long as they can say they still wear a size 36, they believe it.
3 – staring off into space – I work at a gym, so I know this one! They are posing, hoping that women are admiring them. Really. For true.
4 – turn the machine – The guys who don’t get admired have to find some way to see female inner thighs. This may be the only chance they get.
5 – baby and pet products – Both are animals.
6 – diapers and six-packs – That one is easy. If you buy enough six-packs, you will need diapers yourself. They’re just trying to keep the world a dryer place.
7 – shouting news anchors – Kind of like the guys at the gym. What they really want to shout is “Look at me!Look at me!”
8 – you own it already – Only Amazon can see what you already own. They have hacked into your webcam and can see you. Just like we can at the chatroom.

1 – computer stall – to show us our true place in the grand scheme of things
2 – belt size – they think its sexy
3 – staring off into space – they’ve hurt their dangly bits
4 – turn the machine – dangly bits don’t hurt anymore
5 – baby and pet products – there’s a difference?
6 – diapers and six-packs – a reminder that the consumption of the one can lead to the creation of the other
7 – shouting news anchors – loud is good, louder is goodlyer
8 – you own it already – no idea… that one’s all yours
