Default Is today today or tomorrow yesterday?

If tomorrow never comes does that mean that today never ends? If today never ends than how can I lose Tuesday every week? Wouldn't today still be Tuesday even though it's Wednesday? How can we have a Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, etc. if tomorrow never comes? And if today never ends then how can we have a yesterday? Yesterday is just today in reverse, right? And since today never ends there can never be a tomorrow or yesterday. Just because the lights go out doesn't mean that the day is over. If that was the case then everytime the electricity went out a new day would start, right?

And if a new day starts when the lights go on, would a new day start when you have a bright idea or when you finally 'get' a new concept? I see a lot of sunrises but very few sunsets and the lights are always on in my office, so....needless to say the lights never go out around here. And don't get me started on time , it's just an illusion like tomorrow and the number system it's based on.

And...if tomorrow never comes then everyday is our birthday and we never get any older because we were born today. (the next time you are asked if you were born today, say yes and completely confuse people!) So Happy Birthday everyone! You never get any older because you were born today, isn't that great? No more lying about your age gals!

And yes, I do think to much! ;)


but it is all meant in good fun, care to confuse the confused? :)

Your today is my today for only about half a day, then it becomes my yesterday, and I become your tomorrow.

So while I post this, you are in my yesterday & I am in your tomorrow :-)

Would that be this morning here or this morning there?
And you can't have your coffee and drink it to. According to matauri, you already drank it.

Default And, there's More

This thread thus far reminds me much of an old rant I encountered in the days when I waited on folks hand and foot at the local garage ~

"Of course I want it yesterday; if I wanted it today, I'd have have brought it in tomorrow!

Someone once told me that: "Great minds......think to much" I wonder if that's true? (could be, considering the great minds replying) :)

I don't drink coffee so caffiene isn't the culprit here - and if you think this is bad you should hear my theory about jello and ghosts. Maybe I'll tell ya'll about it, tomorrow. :)

I'd like to hear about it too, but you posted yesterday, which means I'm already in tommorow, so if you never leave today, I won't read what you write tommorow because I've already passed the weekend, and am back at work. (It must have been a good weekend though)

I think I need a beer.

I'm posting this today so you should get it today, unless tomorrows today is yesterday, in which case you'll get it next week like everything else you should of gotten yesterday. ;)

Well ya'll know that jello has the same EEG as the human brain, right? If ya don't, it does, isn't that sad? ;) Well, in my way of thinking, if Jello has our brain pattern then it must think - or else we don't and I don't buy that, at least not yet. :)

My problem with Jello is, if it thinks then why won't it tell me what flavor it is? Orange tastes like orange, the fake orange, but orange all the same. Cherry takes like......cherry, I think. And strawberry tastes like.......cherry. It's that whole, everything tastes like chicken concept only with Jello. Now, if Jello thinks - i.e. has the same EEG as we do - then why won't it tell me what flavor it is? I don't want much, just a hint. :) (And yes, I know Jello don't have vocal cords, but what would be the fun in admitting that while thinking to much?) Tomorrow we talk ghosts! Gotta keep ya in suspense some how. :)

*Boy do I write unprofessionally when I'm having to much fun. :)

Hmmm... I'm not sure who gave you this information, Wen, but I assure you that Jello has no EEG at all (in fact, even some human beings don't show any EEG - although most of them are politicians or basketball players). Now, I am open to the possibility that it is theoretically possible that this may vary on a geographical basis (e.g., Nebrasqua, Arkansas), but I am highly sceptical of that possibility (well, okay... except for Newfoundland).

Are you telling us they sell chicken flavored Jello in Nebrasqua? Yikes!

Seriously, dudette... you have GOT to lay off the cough syrup... I mean it... we're worried about you...

Okay, a ghost story...after this there won't be any doubt in anyone's mind that I'm a bit off kilter. :)

Now, take a deep breath because this is going to be fun!

People say that they do not believe in ghosts, yet I do not know one person who doesn't believe in ghosts. We use numbers and letters, and believe in gravity. The laws of physics and logic...these are all ghosts! Yet everyday we use them and believe in them, and we don't think twice about it. To us they seem real.

The question is, did any of these things exist before they were discovered? Did gravity truly exist before the 17th century when Isaac Newton discovered it? If you say yes, gravity existed before then, then answer me this.....If it did exist before the sun, moon, stars, earth, etc. and was just sitting there. Having no mass of it's own, no energy and in no one's mind because there wasn't anyone, and just sitting out in space - before there was space - did it truly exist?

If it did exist then how would you define nonexistance? There is every reason to believe that it was nonexistant and no reason to think that it did exist, yet it's common sense to believe that it did exist. The law of gravity exists no where but in your head, that's the only logical conclusion! Thus it's a ghost!

To quote a rather good book: "Laws of nature are human inventions, like ghosts. Laws of logic, of mathematics are also human inventions. like ghosts. The whole blessed thing is a human invention, including the idea that it isn't a human invention. The world has no existence whatsoever outside them human imagination. It's all a ghost, and in antiquity was so recognized as a ghost, the whole blessed world we live in. It's run by ghosts. Your common sense is nothing more than the voices of thousands and thousands of ghost. Ghosts and more ghosts."

Seriously, dudette... cancel your subscription to Oprah Magazine... it's gonna break your hold on reality... have a look at http://www.behavenet.com/capsules/disorders/dsm4tr.htm under "loss of contact with reality"... and stop drinking grapefruit juice... it's known to interfere with several common medications...

We're all very concerned, WW... people are talking... lots of people... words like intervention are popping up...

Zyprexa? Some patients have suffered serious
side effects including diabetes or hyperglycemia.

So what you're trying to say is you think I'm psychotic/schizophrenic, right? awwww that is sooo sweet :) And here I thought I was 'different.' Am I finally going to get one of those nifty white coats, where you hug yourself, that they keep promising me? ;)

Have you ever been in one of those? Years ago, at a party where I had had a bit too much to drink, the rest of the party decided I was being too rowdy and, since for reasons never fully disclosed, the host had a strait-jacket on site, they wrapped me up in one. My prime reaction was, "wow! this is so cozy!", although even under the influence I recall thinking, "what if I wasn't drunk enough to not be able to be itchy? this would really suck..."

Default Jello & Ghosts

Well....

I might almost have to agree with Minstrel on this one! };~0

I did, but I had to exhale 'cause the room was spinning, I was startin to see funny colors, and all that nonsense about ghosts was beginning to make sense!

Quote:

That part in particular! And, that's almost spooky in itself.

Of course! If it hadn't, Newton wouldn't have got hit on the noggin, and thus woulda had no clue to look for the law to begin with. That one was simple logic my Dear Wen!

And, answering you this ~ Yes... it truly existed. It was sitting out there occupying space, talking to the Jello with the same EEG as the human brain, about what flavor it was supposed to be! That conversation started tomorrow and will end yesterday, which is in fact today until just a few minutes from now unless you're reading this later, wherein it transpired a bit longer ago than that. And, unless of course you're in Australia in which case it started yesterday, and will end tomorrow not encountering today at all because that is only briefly there to begin with!

Because it's out next to the planet Ork, conversin with next week's shipment of gravity. The stuff you buy at the store was put into a state of suspended animation for the long journey through space and they don't wake it or the jello aisle would be to dang noisy with all the Jello talking to blondes walking by!

I'll keep that in mind, and if these feelings of severe blondeness don't begin to subside in a few days, which should put us at about day before yesterday, I'll let you know! };-)

Now now! Remember you asked me to tell you! :) So I guess you could say: You asked for it!

By the way Minstrel I just got off the phone with my shrink and she say's we're getting better...oops I mean I am getting better. And next week when she get's out of the psych ward we're going to go out for ice cream and get her a balloon cause I promised I would. They did tell me that I couldn't discuss Jello, ghosts, or todays today or tomorrows yesterday with her, she kinda acts funny when I do. :)

Don't listen to them Wen...they are the unconverted !

I'm with ya all the way.....cept maybe with the jello ! Tho..I must concede, that at times my mind feels like jello :-)

As for your ghosts, do I have to start running now if I say I have experienced a couple? Yeah, yeah...dont laff fellas !

If you go back to your enviro basics, you will remember that energy stays in a system. Life is energy, so it must stay in the system. If you die, the energy is released (dont ask me to where either!). So why is it so far fetched that an energy force would remain after we die...i.e. ghosts.

As Wen said....until we could prove there was gravity...there wasn't any ;-)

You go girl !! :-)

Now, I didn't say there weren't ghosts, or at least something that can exist at times between this world and the next that we can sometimes experience - in fact, I too have had a few such experiences... plus, I saw Ghostbusters a LOT when my children were younger (Part I AND II)...

But gravity was there even before we were there to notice it... if a tree falls in the forest and there is no one around to hear it, dos it still make a sound? if a man is in the forest and there is no woman around, is he still wrong? :-)

and as for the jello thing, well... like I said, maybe more or different medication can help.

I would like to ask "What the heck are you people smoking?" Cuase I am sure it didn't come from BC and everyone knows that Jello Pudding is the smartest thing known to man, and the only thing worth believing in is my lucky astrology mood watch.

It goes out to converse with Gravity and the Jello that isn't suspended or animated yet!

But, again.... Of course there was gravity before Newton discovered! If it hadn't been there, Newton wouldn't have got hit on the noggin, and thus woulda had no clue to look for gravity to begin with.

Wish you wouldn't have mentioned that GreyHawk, I was already having thoughts that the last time my mind wandered in such delusional deviations as these, was long ago under the influence of too much Bud, and too much bud, if you know what I mean!

So the disembodied words of Isaac Newton were just sitting around, for billions of years - in the middle of nowhere - waiting for the time he was born and could speak them or 'discover' them? They were there, even when they didn't apply to anything? This word (gravity) is what formed the world but before the world was formed this word still pertained to it.

Logic is in the mind and of the mind, just as science is in the mind and of the mind. The mind didn't exist until it was born, if it did - it was a ghost! Ghosts exist only in the mind, according to science. So, alot of our world is based on ghosts, right?

Matuari in her true intellienge is correct, IMHO. Even if there IS a woman around, a man is still wrong! A man who is 'right' is a ghost and only exists in a mans mind. :)

awwwwww now, would you really prefer me 'normal'? We all have to let our hair down and be a bit crazy now and then, it keeps us from going truly insane. :)

I can't really say this thread is what I'd call professional - perhaps professional in the sense that it's been implied that I need professional help :) - but I have to say thanks everyone for keeping it clean. Fun is more fun when cleaner. It is appreciated by many! :)

In reference to jello again? ;-)

NEVER !!!! Anyway.... I heard that only a crazy person can describe someone as normal because they have reference to draw from. A 'normal' person has no reference to call from, so they are wrong in actually classifying themselves as normal ;-)


Getting back to the jello tho... I wonder which flavour would be more intelligent? Would different flavours have different EEG's? Men all have the same EEG..so maybe all jellos do too ;-)

Straight jackets checked at the door please ! :-)

Not exactly... just because we haven't yet named something or don't understand a phenomenon doesn't mean it didn't exist - as someone pointed out earlier in this thread, gravity was working before the apple fell out of the tree and bonked poor Isaac on the conk - before he or anyone else (assuming history is correct) had yet named the phenomenon.

Similarly with ghosts and other "supernatural" phenomena - even the words "supernatural" and "paranormal" are interesting, because they don't really mean "outside the realm of normal experience or nature" but rather "outside the limits of our (current) understanding of what nature is all about".

probably not... besides, it's the nature of the feminine species, part of what allows them to believe that men are always wrong :-)

when in fact by their own admission it is the words that have been around for billions of years waiting to be 'discovered' that are wrong. We are merely relaying what the ghosts said already, and they are female ghosts at that because the male ghosts aren't allowed to talk.

(added in retrospect:)
That's what jello is, frustrated male ghosts incarnate - if you don't believe me, watch 'Ghostbusters'

What was the name of that green ghost? Dan Aykroyd called him "an evil little spud" or something similar...

You guys crack me up! At least I'm no longer the only one thinking about Jello, EEG's and ghosts! :)

Maybe I should add this to the Suggestions forum: how do we go back and delete a post when we want to make a new argument or comment that contradicts something we said just a few days ago?

I can see her, head in the freezer, talking to the lime sherbert already Minstrel! Why... I bet she could really get spun up conversin' with a half gallon of neopolitan ice cream. She'd be trying to diagnose multiple personality disorders there, what with three different flavors in one box and all!

LOL... that's quite an image... raises the question of whose EEG would go flat first as the temperature falls... :-)

That would be no good, coz at least here we can prove that a man changes his mind more often than a woman ;-)
