blossom's blog translator says THANKS MALIGN and HOW ARE YOU MALIGN?!!!!!!!!!

nah i can't, it's too dangerous to walk around on your own here and i'm working on my art anyway.

i'm going out tonight:)

Okay, then ... get to work! :-)

And imbibe responsibly, little one. You need those brain cells, not to mention the ones in your liver who give their lives to save you from alcohol.

i'm working as i type!!!

what does imbibe mean?

i think all my braincells popped a loooooooooooong time ago:D:D!!!....!

"Imbibe" means "drink", sweety.

Meh, I dunno, sometime I think all the silly brain cells are gone, then they come back and the serious ones go. I think your brain cells just like to take turns using the brain.

oh....maybe!!! do brain cells grow back after they pop?!

i have so much work to do!!!

Real brain cells don't grow back, no, but they don't pop that easily either. High concentrations of alcohol can kill them, though. That's why the liver cells give up their lives first, trying to keep your brain alive.

Yay, work! I bet it beats sitting around in your room back home.

i'm pretty sure mine have already popped....

ha no i mean work as in artwork! but i do have to work aswel.. i wish i had this weekend. i'll probably have to pull some all nighters to get this project finished for monday..

It's okay; I meant school-work.

Maybe you need to rethink your weekend work schedules, a bit, if they interfere with school. Sleep should not be the lowest priority.

ah..but i have to work because if i don't have money, i can't pay for college. but i'd love to be able to not work!!!

Even god had a day of rest, little one.

Brain cells pop when you don't let them sleep. ;-)

god was lucky to have a day of rest!!!!!

what happens when you run out of braincells....?

Well, he did have the luxury of being the one who made the rules.

I think your brain starts to pull a vacuum and your head implodes and then there's no room for your face and it falls off and you have to search around for it with your hands and hold it up in front of the stump of your head while you go to the doctors to get it re-inflated.

Or maybe you just die, I don't remember. :-P

OH...................................................................

isn't that the same thing that happens when you don't eat vegetables..?

sounds like i'm doomed!!!!!

Actually, as I understand it, we all are.

The trick is to control the timing as best you can.

And what you do with your life while you have it.

Because I'm afraid you do have to give it back when you're done using it.

can it be recycled?

I think so, but I don't believe in reincarnation.

One carnation per consciousness, please.

Maybe you could come back as a lily or a dandelion instead.

Don't you think that kind of makes life a little pointless?

yeah, we all die, so why work so hard?

It kind of confuses me.

i believe in reincarnation.. why a dandelion...? is that not a weed?

Wouldn't reincarnation mean the same soul lives again?

"Weed" is in the eye of the beholder

Hi Philosophers!!! Looks like ye all are discussing the meaning of life

Well, personally, I don't see the fact of death as making life pointless. Is it fun to run around laughing? Yes. Does it make anything permanent? No. Why is "permanent" the definition of "worthwhile"?

Isn't it something to know that you've touched people's lives in a positive way? That you might have left children or friends or whoever, better than when you found them?

Now, yeah, it may make it pointless to work too hard, but that brings up the question, what is the work for? Maybe you are working too hard.

But this is also just my own philosophy, kids. Lots of people believe differently than I do, and they're entitled. This is just what works for me.

Blossom, I was teasing you: a carnation is also a flower. I just picked two others at random. Besides, what makes a weed a weed? Just the fact that some people don't like them. Dandelions are quite useful, in fact. You can eat or make a tea out of the root, for instance. It's just that their leaves are ugly in a lawn, so we call them weeds.

Humans are weird: we give a lily more value than a dandelion, just because we like it more than the other. Who are we to choose? You should see 'finding's garden. She goes out and finds spectacular plants that most people would call weeds and plants them and makes them grow.

Hey, there she is now!

well, i believe that vegetables have feelings.

Have vegetables told you their philosophy of life? I'll bet it's pretty good, since they are so healthy.

no not yet.. i havn't figured out how to talk to them yet

Yah, veggies aren't that articulate, but I bet they're thinking their entire philosophy of life is "Photosynthesize!"

[Veggies don't have many words, but they prefer long ones.]
