Not necessarily.Ascetics go in for minimising them at the very least.I think it produces a calm temperment and enables one to contemplate higher things than this sordid lot here.
Do you think everybody should agree?

Hell no!!
I think it produces a state of monotonous vegetating without
any up's and down's that are necessary for our well being.
Whom are you calling sordid?

All of us really.Myself included.I'm no ascetic.Maybe I see too much media output.
Don't you think media portrays a pretty sordid state.

Oh, I thought you called Francis sordid, as he brought
up the subject (leave it to the French).
No! The media is portraying what we as society live by,
not the other way around.
Does it look good to you on lilollady's colour sense?

Yes, color is important. I like vivid colors (pastels are for sissies), they give me energy and a good feeling.
Color in advertising is the most important tool to have.
Are you a grey type?

No.I like all colours.They all have a symbolic role to play.I think that having a favourite colour or type of colour signifies a subjective selection which probably arises vicariously out of the role it is customarily chosen to symbolise.
Do you think colour magnetisms arise in the body?

No, I don't think so. Color can influence us in many ways, yes, but color magnetism in the body - you are referring to color healing powers? - is too new age for me.
What's your favorite color?

Almost any shade from yellow to coral to red. I like the warms moreso than the cools.
What is your favorite color?

Interesting aiden - my house is in the shades of yellow
to red, so I guess I must like the same colors.
Except my bathroom is in different blue shades (mosaic tile).
Spendius was saying, the most important tool in advertising
is the product. True so, but it not always is the case.
I buy many products based on their good ad campaigns
only to find out, they're lousy.
Are you manipulated by advertisements?

No, I might have been at one time, but not anymore. I might buy a car based on its safety rating, but that's about it. I've bought enough stuff that I know what I like and where to get it - so I just go with the tried and true.
How about you?

I'm like that more or less but occasionally one does have to be a bit of a devil and try something a bit different.Something that shows promise of course.And hasn't much potential downside.
On the whole I accept that I probably am influenced by advertising.I am not sure one can escape from that without living in a cave in Outer Borneo,wherever that is.
Doesn't a diet of seaweed go with that?

Oh how I love seaweed,
toasted and full of lightly salted rice and dipped in soy sauce. (Hey, and I am not even hungry, just finished low carb ice cream and strawberries.. yumm.)
Have you had dinner yet?

Pfui, no seaweed for me please.
I am influenced by advertising as well - not so the bigger
items, as I do enough research on it, before I buy, but
household items - I'm a sucker for it. Gosh, all the things
I have stashed away in the darkest corners of my kitchen
because they once seemed so enticing.
Well, we live and learn, right?

I am preparing dinner now, as my child and friends just
came from summer camp and are hungry.
Well I'd like to be healthy but I don't necessarily thrive
to be the oldest one in the resthome either.
I don't want to become 90 years old, do you?

I think we are all agreed on that love.
What sort of items were previously enticing and are now stashed away neglected?

Jane, I am not that far from it, and yeah, I think I'd like to keep going, so long as it is on my FEET- or at least on manipulative wheels I can manage.
True, I don't want to vie for the demented house, or the old folks resthome...
Old is not bad, do you think you will mind?
Much?

My grandfather lived to be to 95 years old, and he
was healthy and even made his own booze (wine),
but in the end, even he had enough.
No I don't mind ollady - I think you are especially
delightful.
spendius, an electric juicer, an electric whatever to
chop vegetables, blend, puree and so on....all huge
machines that need tons of cleaning after use.
Then a garlic press, onion cutter and so on - no use
for it.
When my mother comes visiting she's always shocked
at the amatuer household I have and buys new staff.
