The Daily Post used my prompt! “If you could un-invent something, what would it be? Discuss why, potential repercussions, or a possible alternative.”
I love WordPress so much! I should email them a hug.
They must love me, too. This is the second time they’ve used one of my prompts.
Of course, I’ve submitted a zillion prompt ideas.
I should sleep more so I don’t do that as often. I probably wore them down.
Also, I should submit easy prompts in case they actually pick one. The submitter should participate. It’s polite. I have to do it now, right?
Could I write about juice machines?
Stop hating on juice machines, Rara. A lot of your friends juice. You love your friends. Think of something else.
Of course, none of your friends needs to know you wrote about juice machines.
Juice machines, it is. I would undo the creation of the juice machine!
As you get older in life, you realize that some conversations are going to repeated forever and ever. For the big things, it isn’t so bad. It becomes a sort of warm ritual– a cultural tradition.
A new baby? Awww, how’s the mama doing? She’s so pretty! Look at those eyes! He looks just like dad, I think it’s the jaw.
A new car? Wow, what color is it? This is going to be such a big help for you guys. I’m so glad you were able to manage it.
An interview? Well I think my biggest weakness is my perfectionism and timeliness. Thank you so much for your time.
But juice machines do not qualify as big news.
Somehow that truth doesn’t stop the same conversation from happening over and over again though. Every time a juicer is purchased, the world has to hear all about it for weeks.
It starts small : “We got a juicer, we’re going to save so much money because all I ever drink is cucumber frog spinach juice! Despite the copious amounts of (natural) sugar in it, it’s really good for you. You should get a juicer– liquid spinach is amazing!”
But by the end of the week, it starts to get downright silly, “We spent all night juicing everything in the house. Full lemons, bread, Tommy’s pacifier. THERE IS NOTHING I CANNOT JUICE — AND IT ALL TASTES SOOO GOOD.”
I find it hard to believe that anything juiced tastes delicious, but I guess we’ll find out soon… because if I’m ever forced through a conversation about juicing machines again, I’m going to poke out my own eyeballs, cut off my ears, and juice them.
Drink that, juicers!

Many thanks to the Daily Post editors for accepting, listening to, and implementing ideas. You guys are an inspiration!
If you haven’t participated in my prompt over at the Daily Post– why not? I want either posts or brilliant excuses from each of you. You can’t blame your dog, though… I know they can’t eat keyboards.

Your blog drips of juicenes! It’s cool!!
Thank you, Seyi!!
I think you’re awesome, too!
I agree with Seyi!!! and you are both awesome….
I had to think twice about this morning’s prompt. Too much thinking in one week makes my head hurt. Good going though!
And juicing is very big deal with my friends, provided you are referring to fruits and vegetables, not MLB rule-breaking “juicing”. One of my good friends got a vitamix and I have kitchen appliance envy!
This has been a very think-heavy week. Next week, maybe we should just post pictures of animals being adorable. Easy as pie!
Yes, I meant fruit juicing, haha! I didn’t even think of the other kind of juicing till you mentioned it. Tells you how much I’m not a sports person.
You’re awesome Rara!!!
They LIKE you. They really LIKE you
Either that or they just thought they’d use one of the bazillion prompts I’ve thrown at them, haha!
But right now, I’m going with… they LIKE me! 
ummm my cat ate my keyboard!! yeah, no dog , my cat!! that works right?? I did the weekly prompt today not the daily one like usual. oh no! sorry rara, I feel so ashamed. ;-(
Well, since my cat eats cardboard and thumbtacks, I guess I could believe a cat ate your keyboard.
And since you did make an awesome comic, hmmm… yes, I guess you still get an A. 
(This is why I didn’t go into teaching. 
)
awww thanks! you are the best!

Reblogged this on ELANA – The Voice of the Future.
Please make me a juice with bananas, milk, and lots of refined sugar, hold the pacifiers.
I’m pretty sure the pacifier is what gives it a kick….
Oh you twisted dinosaur!
Juicers are of a species very close to my own heart: Those Who Make Their Own Baby Food. The ones who talk your ear off, tell you how to puree garbanzo beans and how they whip up “their own special blend” of breast milk and borscht, to freeze in ice cube trays for individual servings. What???
I don’t even know what to say to this, haha! Breast milk and borscht makes the Cucumber Frog Spinach Juice sound delicious.
Hahah! Cucumber frog spinach juice! You’re hilarious… It’s been a tough day. I need a chocolate nicotine smoothie. Can you hook me up?
Caffeine, nicotine, and sugar? Nope, sorry, all you get is a hug. *hug*… maybe even a big hug… *HUG*
Glad you laughed on a tough day, that’s the first step towards transforming it into a great day.

But we love juice…. babies are smelly and cars take up alot of gas – or is it the other way around – and you are right it has been a very “think-heavy week”!
Yep, we’ve all dug pretty deep this week– on the bright side, I’ve also seen copious references to babies, gas, and rainbows… so it’s not all grown-up talk.
*snorts* HILARIOUS…Ya know rara *whispers* I bought a juicer last week, and yes I blogged with a picture, I’ve juiced the dog, the cat, 1 horse, 2 chickens.
*pokes out tongue and runs*
W00f
haha! Oh no! One week in– so you’re right around the time where the story about the dog, the cat, the horse, and the chickens becomes plausible. I’m running away before you decide to juice a dino!!
(And *hugs* thanks for stopping by!)
hehe Now I know what to get you for Christmas
Always a pleasure stopping by Rara
Sorry, I accidentally juiced my excuse instead of my post
I bet juiced excuses and posts taste delicious, haha!
Yup! YUMM!!!!
make that this year and ya’ got a deal
xx
How nice of them to use your idea rara
Congrats. I think they discarded mine *squiggly expression* 
*hugs*
Oh I don’t know, I submitted this one months ago, so maybe yours is just in a queue?
Thanks for reading! *hugs*
I feel your pain. I hear about juicing machines and epic food processors all the time. I’m a foody and I love delicious concoctions but I seriously don’t need to hear about how your fantastic juicer makes pretty much anything and even has a ‘heat’ setting so that it can make ready-to-eat soups.
Haha, you HAVE had the conversation before– I can tell because only the pros know about the instant soups, too.
Thanks for reading and empathizing on the juice conversation. 
I hate how juicing has become a status symbol. If I hear one more imbecile brag about having the Bullet (the most expensive juicer) I’m going to SCREAM!!!!!!
I love fresh juice. I hate those Naked juices that are flash-pasteurized because they taste so heavy and yucky.
But fresh juice is so time-consuming and I hate seeing all the bulk of the fruit/vegetables go to waste. I’d rather go to a juice bar and pay the extra money and not have to throw out all the waste.
Lol…funny post!
I love my juicer – seems I too wanted to tell the world!
http://burbujachica.wordpress.com/2013/02/12/jugo-de-fruta/
Haha! I loved the pics on your post… and like I said there… juicing isn’t my thing, but I do understand the joy of a new appliance.
Very funny. We are all so wrapped up in our stuff. Usually I find this tendency worse in golfers.
Golfers used to be the worst, hands down, but I think foodies trump them now. There’s cake pop machines, and churro makers, and special seasonings… it’s nuts. Of course, geeks like myself are pretty bad too. “That’s a limited edition, custom, blah blah from Season 1 of the blah blah show!”
I received a juicer as a wedding gift. I used it once. Oddly enough, I blogged about it, and the Washington Post Express decided to feature that blog on their website. I’m still not sure why.
That’s cool! They probably featured it because it’s a popular topic and you probably wrote it fabulously.
I would read your juicer post, without severing my own ears, just because you’re awesome. 
I could NOT agree more– it used to be bread makers. Do we really have so little to talk about?? I admit I’m a foodie/enthusiastic cook, but even I don’t resort to gadget-speak in order to have a conversation. Hilarious post, Rara!
Oh yes! I remember the breadmaker stint… everyone was talking about all the weird breads they could make. I’m actually capable of getting through hundreds of these conversations before they start to make me feel crazy.
Thanks for empathizing! 
Great prompt! At last, WP does something I approve of. (The list of stuff I disapprove of includes getting fp’s.)
But I thought this post would be a how-to on steroids.
Oh well. I’ll just ask the guy at the Vitamin Shoppe.
Oh my goodness! I bet juiced pacifier is delicious.. just think of all that built in saliva, plus it already started pre-tenderized a bit. I’m definitely going to have to try that out.
Thanks for the laughs! Needed them after this long, crazy week…
… ewww! haha!
I hope you are enjoying a quiet, relaxing weekend! 
Relaxing? Quiet? Hah! Busy stocking up on baby gear and getting the houe ready. I’m fairly certain quiet and relaxing are now a thing of the past for me for a long time.
Congrats!!!
Thank you!

I have a juicer (it was given to my fiancee and I). It sits in the bottom of our closet and we buy Naked juice from the store. We also drink it naked, in fact, right now, I’m blogging and drinking naked juice while naked and not using my disassembled (therefore naked) juicer. I don’t know how that got all mixed together like that, guess my comment got juiced.
Juicers? huh? What are those?
No eyeballs and ears for me please… I’m a vegetarian. And I have teeth (at least for now)
