Using my blog to try and make the world a better place. If I can make someone forget their troubles for a few minutes a day, it's all worth it.

I watch the ripples change their size, but never leave the stream of warm impermanent sand. So the days flow through my eyes but still the days seem the same. And these children that you spit on as they try to change their world are immune to your consultations. They're quite aware of what they're going through.

Sing a song, sing out loud, sing out strong.

Sing a song, sing out loud, sing out strong.
Sing of good things, not bad. Sing of happy, not sad. Sing a song, make it simple to last your whole life long. Don't worry that it's not good enough for anyone else to hear, just sing a song.

I always wanted to live at a place that had a little garden with a pathway to a pond. Never happened, though. Well, maybe someday...

Beanbag chairs:

I received one in the Christmas of '78. It was a large one, black, and it was plush, not leather (like a huge stuffed animal). I loved it, although I have to admit it was kind of uncomfortable to sit in for very long...

Rhoda's studio apartment. I loved it when Mary went up there :)

I had a bright orange one! Made out of... something shiny. Vinyl maybe. I loved it. Got it about the same time, circa '78.

Did either of you see the episode of "Bosum Buddies", where their boss Ruth Dunbar visits Kip and Henry's apartment, and she goes to sit down in the bean bag chair and falls over backward and couldn't get up??? I laughed hysterically at that.

Mine was bright yellow. And it was "pleather"!

I always wanted one but my mom wouldn't get me one because she thought they were unsightly.

Yeah...and god forbid the thing sprang a leak...those little white styro balls were evrywhere...forever

AWE: "Pleather"??? I'm guessing "leather-looking plastic", but it's just a guess.

Sunny: Sometimes parents can be no fun.

Noe: They don't make anything like they used to.

MLS: I think mine started to do that, so that's when it got thrown out. It's just hard to remember after 32 years.

I want a plush benabag chair! Mine was black but made of that plasticy material. I miss that thing!

I kind of forgot that I had one until I read your post. I think that it looked like it was made out of jean type material and eventually there was a small leak in it.
