That's OK! WE will not post 'Community' stuff on the 'Woodworking' forum(not intentionally anyway!:D).

Thence is where inspirational, original, creative, stupid, impractical ideas emanate!:cool::D


Back with my former employer it was called shot gun sessions. No thinking, no pre-judging, just pure mind dump of whatever presented itself to the concious being.

Usually those triggered more practical thoughts among the others present.

Brain storming is a better description. ADHD * folks were quite good at it!:rolleyes:

* used to be called daydreaming!:eek:



FWIW If your thinking is 'structured', ya ain't never gonna get out of that bubble!

Having ADHD I have so many thoughts that it is hard to choose which one to pick. To Many adhd is a joke ... but if you have it , you know it is real. Maybe we should make fun of old people cause they can't remember stuff. We could make fun of people with cancer because they can't control what's happening to them either... and I am on the backside of 50 so I am considered old by many. We live in a very twisted world just give somefolks a break. They may be driving the ambulance someday that may be coming to save your life. Now i'm down to 1 greenie...

Thank you for the clearification. I don't mean to sound mean spirited, I have to live with this affliction on a daily basis. Thanks for understanding. Woodworking , inperticular pen turning has been a great outlet for me. I have to say also that you guys have been a great support. Thanks for being here.

ooo.. pie is good. I personally like banana cream pie, but the lemon sounds great too.

I am sad to see BigSky doesn't like to play along. Fortunately, there are 3 other sections of the forum for him to browse.

12 hours til back to the grind tomorrow :(

Wow you folks certainly adjusted my thoughts in a hurry, for me it's Key Lime Pie. About 15 years ago we were vacationing with family at Stone Harbor New Jersey. I wondered into a bait shop and selected the items I wanted. While waiting in line I noted that virtually every customer in front of me was carrying home at least one key lime pie. After the lady in front of me declared there was no place in New Jersey that made and sold Key Lime Pie as delicious as these folks. Keven the number of family7 members who were along I purchased two. Then everyday until we left New Jersey we purchased two more. I love Key Lime Pie! fjimp

Hey... All this pie talk isn't fair. Due to medical things my allowed diet has to be :
Low sodium
Low cholesterol
Low fat
Low carb
and low sugar...
Makes it kind of limited... :D
