Heart of the City by Steenz for January 05, 2024

Mike is grumpy because he has to go to school and deal with people. I know that feeling very well.

So Mike is a weirdo Dean. Do not get so worked up about how some neurotic dork may dislike you. BTW, careful with that circular saw Char, we do not want any unfortunate accidents and Dean, where are your safety goggles?

It is probably not about school!!!!!!!!!

I’m gonna need some more info before I decide which list to put Mike on: good or bad. There is no in-between.

Don’t distract her while she’s working with power tools.

There is a good explanation on WebMD about causes of and treatment for “black and white thinking” (dealing in absolutes)

Only Sith deal in absolutes.

Milkshake machine salesman Ray Kroc wondered why the McDonald Brothers’ hamburger stand needed two of his products when most customers just needed one, asked around, and concluded that the reason was their superior French fries. So he bought into the business, opened a McDonald’s outside Chicago, and it initially flopped. Seems the winds off the Mojave Desert curing the stored potatoes improved the taste. Those off Lake Michigan dampened them.

Those of a certain age, will remember Life Cereal’s commercial, “Let Mikey try it,he hates everything”.
