Why is it - when gum flattens...
by Jim_TX in...it goes round in shape - and looks just like coins?.
when i go to sonic (a carhop type of fast-food eatery), i look on the ground for any pennies - or other coins - that the gals may have dropped when making change from their coin holders that they carry around their waist.. only... i have to be really careful, as it is very wasy to confuse gum - with money.
i don't like picking up abc gum (already been chewed), and so have to look real carefully to make sure it's a penny - or nickel - or dime.. so... have any studies been done on why gum flattens to look like coins?.

Dallas - next week
by Jim_TX ini know this is short notice - but i will be in dallas next week on business.
this means that in the evenings, my wife and i will be available to meet anyone nearby - if anyone is interested.
we are not that familiar with the dallas area, and will probably not stray too far from the farmers branch area of dallas... so, keeping that in mind... let me know in a pm if you're able and willing to meet up.

NWT bible at Goodwill
by Jim_TX inmy wife and i frequent the local goodwill's here, and today when we went in, i took a look in the display case where they keep items - and groups of items - that customers can bid on.
they then take the highest bid, and contact the person - who then goes in and pays for the items.. anyway - today, among the groups of items there were 2 dinner plates, embossed with jesus or some other catholic-related images.
there was also a large off-white catholic bible - and last but not least - a black, gold embossed new world translation of the holy scriptures.. i don't know if i am the only one here who sees the irony of this or not... it's all behind a locked glass door, too - so no jw can go and remove the bible - so as to not be associated with the catholics.. i laughed when i saw it - and commented about it to my wife.
