Gross Generalisations

i must be on the outer-15 views in 30 minutes and not one "like"
come on guys-it`s hot as hell outside and i`m bored and trying to engage some witty banter?
someone out there must have a Snark Tuner??

{bump}

at last -a reply-phew-i was about to post this but but may as well post anyway:
I resent Social Media
there-i`ve said it. i resent the fact that i opted out of facebook and subsequently missed my great granddaughters 2nd birthday
i resent the constant bonging of my wife`s iphone/ipad in our private time
i resent the fact that we are not in an actual coffeehouse with eye contact and the physicality of a "real" discussion and the recognition and role of elders in society
i resent the fact that unless i embrace facebook/skype etc i will be left out of the loop
i resent the fact that with Wiki and Ask.com there are no valid opinions anymore-only facts
i resent the fact that people don`t get off their arses and visit when a text or email is considered an acceptable alternative

but then again,i`ve been a member of this forum for 7 years and it has been invaluable to me and have made some lasting contacts i just get disappointed when freds turn ugly and we forget we have a common interest,
but the cool change has arrived and i`m off to water the lettuce and strawberries
cheers 

good morning all
good morning mike
nice and cool and crisp this morning with only a hint of sunburn on the fruit and veg.
we missed the worst of the heat -the Big Day Out in Sydney with the Chilli Peppers headlining was 46 C in the shade.


mike:i drove through Florida and it was wet and sticky like Queensland rainforest but may have been the wrong season-our heat is more like Arizona or Texas.

Bit disappointed i didn`t get any bites with my social media rant-i thought it was provocative enough.
just goes to show it`s the poster that counts not the post.
But,i`m off into town to L`Espresso for coffee and a meeting to discuss song selection and running order with Real People in a Real Coffeehouse with my notebook and pencil.
so there.
cheers

I popped in here expecting to see 144 generalizations, but I think most are apparently missing...

I was referring to that fact that 144 is considered a "gross."
(So would 169 be considered a "Baker's gross?")

I knew someone who had a Baker's Cyst. It was gross.
