And I blame the venting on a lack of coffee...  Wink

I don’t share my thoughts because I think it will change the minds of people who think differently.  I share my thoughts to show the people who already think like me that they are not alone.

But Keurig is not environmentally friendly, at least not the original cup versions which were not recyclable.

I think now we should go after Crest and Colgate instead of going over this old settled ground.  What kind of bigot racists push whitening toothpaste?  What's wrong with natural or yellow teeth?  They must be stopped.  It's gone on too long.    

Let's go for it!

While we're at it, let's ban white paint. After all, I'm not white, I'm a pink skin per the Andorians on Star Trek Enterprise.  :-)

Smiley.  I hesitate on being part of turning this great forum for ideas, development, architecture, Tulsa --- into Twitter.  Hopefully, done with it!

I get a bit tired of the knee jerk responses so I add a few of my own occasionally.

No it isn't.  I don't like them.  SWMBO loves hers.

I enjoyed your comment.  I just like that this forum is different than standard social media.

I haven't been inside the DiscoveryLab, but have seen video and pictures of the opening - interior and exterior.  I'll reserve my final judgement, but initially it appears to be a utilitarian exterior design.  It seems a children's museum would have a more inspirational, creative aesthetic --- you know, maybe the entrance is between the legs of a 4 story dinosaur or something fun.  This building looks more like a DISCOVER credit card inbound call center or something --- from the street.  I think an opportunity was lost to create another iconic structure that could be on the cover of travel guides, etc.  This is not that building.  The architecture firm just designed what was asked for - I'm sure they could have done more "Willy Wonka" than credit union headquarters had they been asked.  Can't comment on the inside until I see it.  And this is just one person's opinion.  It's still a positive for the city.

Yeah, but think how boring it would be without them!

Whew!   Yeah, I guess so!  Didn't even look before the last post...

Well, at least I am within about 7 months of being up to date...after the last two sh$t show years, I am lucky not to be 30 years behind!
