I asked you all to respond if you saw the blog post on Face Book and many of you did. I know some of you reading this today may not have seen it yesterday. Also, some of you who saw it yesterday may not be reading this today. To make it easy, I will just say, thanks. Between the FB change and the various ways people can find the blog, I wasn't sure it was getting out.
The other day I read several other blogs. How can someone have over six hundred friends? I don't think I've met six hundred people in my entire life. I'm currently sitting on three friend requests from people I can not place. I would say I don't know them but that may not be the case. Over the years, stories change, peoples perspective of past events change, so maybe they know me? Like I said, I just can't place them.
I have connected with several people from my past. Some recent past and others way past past. It's been nice but for the most part, after that initial "wow it's been years what are you doing now?" we haven't communicated much. I think that by the time we reach our sixth decade we are all set with the people in our life. Our heart, like our brain, only has so much room. And, if you are going to reform a friendship, you should be prepared to open up some of your heart.
There is always the exception. The friend you haven't seen in years and more years. You know the feeling when you finally connect. All those years seem to melt away and you feel like you've talked last week. Those are the friends you shared a special something with those many years ago.
The man credited with creating Doritos will be buried along with some of his beloved snack chips.
Arch West died September 20 of natural causes at a Dallas hospital. He was 97.........and so were the chips. And they were still fresh.
A New York woman is suing Starbucks, saying her baby son was seriously injured when she dropped a cup of overly hot tea on him.
In a complaint the woman said the scalding took place in a Starbucks in the Bensonhurst neighborhood in Brooklyn, N.Y. She said her son was 5 months old at the time. He was in his stroller when she picked up the tea then dropped it because it was so hot.
Her lawyer said Starbucks should have served the tea with insulation or on a tray.
The lawsuit is the second filed in a few weeks over Starbucks tea. A man sued in May, saying he was burned by hot tea at a Manhattan restaurant.
Hey, people.....you ordered HOT tea.
The Japanese company behind the Cup Noodle line of ramen noodle foods has opened a museum dedicated to the products in the city of Yokohama.
Nissan Foods said the museum, which opened to the public Saturday, includes the history of the product, which was created by company founder Momofuku Ando in 1956, as well as a cinema featuring films about Cup Noodle and a "factory" allowing visitors to design their own instant ramen noodle creations.
The museum is a way for the company to honor its founder, who died in 2007, as well as look forward to the future of the product.
"I think we've only explored 40 percent of Cup Noodle's potential," the current company president said, "At the moment, we're looking into noodles that can be reconstituted with cold water. We're also experimenting with a type that can be dipped in a separate sauce."
Doesn't this sound like it would be one heck of a tour? And you know, in 2053 the noodles, just like the chips, will still be fresh.
