thread 14 Threaded Spouts
There are three spouts I posted that I am bookmarking for reference to bring back up periodically:

1. The "All elections are important" spout
2. The "Suppose 100 people vote" spout
3. The "Goals for 2024 election" spout

Let me explain why these three political posts are important to me.

Time for a new edition of a poll I once did (or at least I think I did)...

How often do you visit Spoutible? 🐳

Every day

Once every few days

Once a week

Rarer than once a week

I can never understand the motivation behind spam email. When it comes to advertising of things I never searched for, like pills for erectile dysfunction, I can understand that some people may still be lured in. Still, it's a waste of time getting such emails. Thank goodness for spam filters. 🙂

There are endless choices for movies, TV shows, music, books, and video games. No one can experience them all in a lifetime. But that's OK because no one likes everything. We naturally gravitate toward what we like. So the endless choices keep everyone happy. Better than having too few options. 🙂

Permanent Standard Time without ever having Daylight Savings Time again is still a big wish for many of us.
Save Standard Time @SaveStandardTime
Ohio: Tell state legislators: No on HCR 7. Permanent DST would force Ohioans to school/work in darkness. It cost lives in 1974. Restore permanent Standard Time instead, for health and safety. #OHLeg #DitchDST #SaveStandardTime

#Spoutories

When I joined Spoutible, I knew I wanted to share #music I like. I started my series of Music Appeciation spouts with the #SpoutibleMusic hashtag. Then I discovered #SpoutingClassics and its daily hashtagged themes. Now I put all of those hashtags in my Music Appreciation spouts. 🙂
Spoutories - Stories in One Spout! @Spoutories
Today’s #Spoutories prompt is #music (word or inspiration)

Make a new post including the two hashtags. Write a one-spout story for the prompt.

Keep it clean as per Spoutible rules.

There are no time limits on previous prompts; use or re-use as you like.

Have fun!

Getting less sleep than usual by just half an hour can make a difference.

I'm used to getting eight hours of sleep and waking up fairly refreshed.

I've just woken up after 7.5 hours of sleep and I feel rather groggy and somewhat cranky about it.

Meanwhile, much of America is sleep-deprived. 😕

This past week, I've been receiving packages from Amazon and other online retailers containing items I bought over the weekend.

It's cool that delivery people leave packages at the door so that you don't have to answer it. But check often. You don't want thieves to successfully steal them. 🙂

Every now and then, we experience this annoying moment: discovering that we have a big chunk of food stuck between our teeth. When that happens, what do you do?

Use a toothpick

Use floss

Use your tongue

Wait until brushing teeth

Wednesday is sometimes called Hump Day because it's the height of the work week. Some, however, may notice a sexual connottion to it.

Do you like referring to Wednesday as Hump Day?

Yes

No

I do not know

"Rock You Like a Hurricane"

Hurricanes are turbulent, which can be a metaphor for scary chaos or exciting action. Listening to this song makes me think of the latter. Here we are, rocking like a hurricane. 🙂

Rain is often a metaphor for sadness. As Bruno Mars sings here, losing a loved one through a relationship breakup can be so painful that you expect dark clouds and a downpour over your head. 🙂

Progress on 4th draft of 2nd novel I'm writing:

The past two days, I reviewed the first four chapters. I feel great about them and made just tiny edits here and there. The story has a fairly solid start. I'll use this as a benchmark for subsequent chapters that are more likely to need revision. 🙂

On the TV show Knight Rider, the super car known as KITT has one unique feature: the Turbo #Boost that makes the vehicle jump a long distance in the air, while moving or even from a stationary position. The first time I saw that, I thought about how that can help escape traffic jams. 🙂

We all have bad days now and then. No matter how bad they can be, we can always use our sleep time as a way to physically and mentally get away from the stress. Once we wake up, we are rested, ready to tackle a new day, and feel less stressed about the day before because the focus is on the new day.

When it comes to activism, I often sympathize with the messge of a protest, but I also pay attention to the method of getting out the message. Generally, it makes sense to protest in ways that do not blatantly violate laws or basic human courtesy. The example below is an obvious no-no.
Charlotte Clymer @charlotteclymer
This is not about Palestinian liberation.

Protesting at the funeral of a beloved former First Lady is purely activist narcissism, a pathetic attempt to be edgy.

When it comes to workplaces, colleagues should treat each other like family. After all, if you're going to spend much of a week with people who aren't family members, you might as well make the most of it by treating each other at work like family. No need to suffer until you go home to a family. 🙂

It's important to balance quality with efficiency.

Focus too much on getting something done as quickly as possible and the quality of the work suffers.

Focus too much on making something perfect and nothing gets done.

Aim for at least a moderate amount of both and things should work out. 🙂

The Score's NFL Power Rankings for Week 13 have placed my San Francisco 49ers at number 5.

To be fair, the 49ers are in a virtual six-way tie with the Cowboys, Chiefs, Dolphins, Jaguars, and Lions. All six teams are 8-3. 🙂

I remember an episode of The Simpsons where Homer Simpson's face is the logo of a Japanese product called Mr. #Sparkle and it leads to questions about whether his likeness was used without permission. The episode's revelation of the origin of the logo was quite a surprise. 👇🙂
