My new headset came today.
It has been a little bit annoying, not having a headset. This city is stupid and has banned the use of handheld electronic devices.. Anyway, I was pretty excited to get the new one, but when I opened the box, there was something else not expected.

Free Cookie!!
Hmmm... Yeah, there's an online audio stuff store called Sweetwater. They used to be a music studio. There was always a bowl of candy sitting around, and they got in the habit of throwing in a handful of candy when they sent a customer his CD project. When they started selling audio equipment they continued the practice. I forget what I bought from them and what kind of candy it was I found along with the audio equipment, but I do remember the surprise. Nice touch.

I say the same thing about yogurt. Can taste okay, but has bad texture. It's like I'm eating tasty.....thick hair gel. Eck.

Vanilla, though....tastes bad AND has bad texture. You have to add stuff to the vanilla flavor to make it edible, as I have heard from yogurt eaters and my own experience. I would like to try mousse, though.

I woke up with an odd, but accurate, thought going through my head. The Bible has a Creative Commons license. Specifically a CC BY-ND license. You are free to use it, even for commercial purposes, but you're not allowed to change any words in it. :cool:

And yet, I do see that happening. I mean, I get saying the same thing using different words. That's different.

Though, I can't give any references right off the bat, this is just what I've seen.

I might be a little stressed right now. Lots of things going on. Good things, but at the same time very stressful.

You mean you got free cookies with your headset...? That's... weird. And awesome.
No cellphones, but by all means eat cookies while driving...
Yes, I got free cookies with the headset. I ordered it form walmart.com. It was a nice surprise. I like cookies.

It is a nice gesture, and it can actually carry a lot of importance to those receiving the package. My family runs an online imported European food store. We don't do it with every package, but we'll often through in some extra candy or something into a box.
RockAuto throws in Fridge magnets which feature cars that were rebuilt with parts supplied by rock auto. It can be kind of cool. Sadly, all of the cars featured on the magnets they've sent me aren't so great, but my brother always gets neat cars on the magnets he's gotten.

Bless you, Wal-Mart employees, as well as the smart person who came up with that idea to give cookies! I mean, come on.


...................................COOKIES! It's cookies! How could anyone even complain?? Cookies are a nice thing. I like nice things.

#that moment when you want to say something, but are not sure what or how...so you just end up searching images and quotes until you find one to post...which isn't really what you wanted to say, but you've decided you're going to go ahead and post anyway due to all the time and minimal effort you've put into it so far...

If anyone's ever wondered how those tiny, detailed little matchbox/hot wheels cars are made, you will enjoy this video... :)

Note: the car in my avatar is not a matchbox car. Its a 1/24 scale Porsche 356 just like the one my dad had. :(

That might be how they USED to make matchbox cars. When I was a kid matchbox cars were cheap junk. I appreciated good quality even when I was a child - die-cast Hot Wheels cars were lined up on the side of my bed, but cheap plastic matchbox cars I left out in the yard.

I woke up with an old song lyric bouncing through my head.

"You can worry 'bout love
You can worry 'bout hate
You can worry 'bout the judgement day
But you can't praise God
When you worry that way"

Don't know why it came to mind. I'm not worried about much.

Pffff youth nowadays.
In my time I was happy to make a car myself from toilet rolls.
