What Do I Know

What if mass actually influences the space-time around it? Einstein’s theory of relativity What if children beg their parents to buy rocks? Pet rock craze of the 1970’s. What if other typists make this many errors? Monkee’s Mickey’s Mama got rich off this. What if I could temporarily glue notes to my hymnal? Choir director still collects on her sticky notes. What if I had created the baby bottles with handles I knew we needed in 1973? They are in the stores now, molded plastic bottles with a little loop for fingers. Would I be the rich one? What on earth would I do with all that money? What do I know?

If only we knew. I would have NO trouble spending all that money. Shelters for the homeless...food for children and a sports car for Johnny Depp to drive me around in! Fun poem that make one think.

Thank you Sherry. I appreciate your thinking brain deciding what you would do. I have always wanted to build an orphanage for children, young mothers and dogs. So I guess I can think of something now.

Hi Caren, No one really knows anything about what will happen to them if they did a certain something and or if they became awesomely rich by doing it. I certainly wish i could think of a multi dollar/rand idea, and I think that I would like to share the profits with you as you would have been the brainchild of this idea! xoxo, Jennifer. xoxo, Jennifer.

Ah, but Sandblown, you do not know this about me. I do not travel for Shangri-lah is the place I live now, and there is no where I would rather be.
