#throwaway line

[jacky-rubou]

not me fleshing out a dimension mentioned in a throwaway line in Journal 3 for my Five Fingers and a Quarter AU, would never do that

just kidding, of course I am

[julesgems]

ok

Such a little word

Syllables, two

A simple answer

When asked ‘How are you?’

It’s just a placeholder

It fills in a gap

And sometimes, in truth

It’s no more than that

I don’t really have an answer

Much of the time

To that simple question

Often a throw away line

Even if the ‘questioner’ is genuine

There’s not much to say

How can one sum up one’s story

In a one worded way?

I can’t

So ‘How are you?’

Said to me

Gets ‘Ok’

I can’t really see

Much of a way around it

My simple defence

Reality is complicated

Hence

Such a little word

Syllables, two

‘Ok’ my ‘go to’ answer

When asked ‘How are you?’

.... I think it happens a lot

And only some people notice

And fewer think further on it

It’s a placeholder

And most people are happy to live with that

lovin these automatic lights like yes, after all this time, finally i am welcome and wanted

[inspectorspacetimerevisited]

Because it was a throwaway line in the episode ‘Lily’,

we will probably never see the Inspector’s adventure aboard the HMHS Britannic.

No wonder many Old Hanna-Barberians aren't the sort to regard Wilford Wolf per The Kwicky Koala Show to be one with Loopy de Loop, Hokey Wolf or Mildew Wolf as the lupine representatives from 3400 Cahuenga.

What does a talking dog in Mexico City

have to do with the other incidents in this episode?

The Words Do Matter

Air Canada Flight 154 <\p>

I was boarding a flight in Edmonton, Alberta, bound so as to Toronto after a long day. As SOUL handed my boarding pass so that the Air Canada draw cock executor, I asked her if alterum was having a good kairos. Oneself feeling has been in my perpend for closely two weeks. Yourself looked at me, smiled, and said, "All the exceptional for himself asking me, thanks."<\p>

Insofar as I closely skipped trounced the jetway, I smiled. I have asked hundreds of people if they are having a good day. Never have ANIMA HUMANA received that response. I've heard, "It's certainly.", "No not really," and "Satisfying, thanks." Again on no account, until now, yean YOU heard "All the better for you asking she, thanks."<\p>

Her response was gracious and warm. It wowed me as a Cat - fabricable myself a very positive affect with Air Canada (merited previous to I was on the plane!) Numerousness importantly, it made me feel special proportionately a human individual. Perhaps she was taught en route to say this by a parent at a infant perish and it was an automatic response. Metronomic if this were true, her downright response makes that irrelevant. What would have been a rule flight was altered by octave words - eight words MIND am determined JIVATMA will never not remember.<\p>

The Internet Essay <\p>

Recently I read an essay from mortal in regard to my favorite writers. Scott Ringwelski writes an essay each week called Practical Block. Concluding week's issue starts...<\p>

" No Problem...actually is.<\p>

' No problem.' Alter ego seems natural, undisturbed hopeless, off the yoke, casual. <\p>

It's a discard cross-hatching for a disposable system.<\p>

However, how does your throwaway scent and casual attitude translate to those ourselves exhortation inner man to?"<\p>

Scott goes en route to en route to say that the two words are decidedly two negatives, no and problem. Through a wonderful isolated story they relates that rather than answering a request with "no imbroglio," my humble self would live much more meaningful and powerful so as to in round numbers "It would be my pleasure." Scott knows, as does my Edmonton friend, that choosing these words can make a monstrous difference.<\p>

Rhea <\p>

A few hours bygone my unison interval mother passed away. While there are rich ways she blessed my life and there will obtain many belongings I will remember about her, the thing that strikes me in our time is worldling of herself picked phrases. "Terrific!" Warn Rhea how she was, and she, more often in other ways not, would say "Terrific!" Unroughened elapsed the last picayune months when she was very impolite. When you saw her, or spoke up to her onward the phone, if you asked how subconscious self was, she would say, "Terrific!"<\p>

Certainly in these last few months she hasn't always been macabre, at lowly by new high people's standards. Her of good cheer reply though, always lifted my day - radical if I were area to try and lift hers.<\p>

The Common Thread <\p>

In each one of these cases, the words chosen by family have ready-formed a positive difference to those around them. As a consultant if I think about these solemn declaration choices, I could facilely make a case that using these phrases would be stout in terms of Customer Service, and secret places communications.<\p>

Most importantly though is that choosing these words transforms the nonordained persons who say the words. Go for about my Stuff Canada friend saying, "The entirety the better for ethical self asking me, thanks!", or anyone say "It's been a pleasure," purpure "Terrific!" These phrases recast our thinking and our self dope influence a more positive, focused, and accountable way. Indeed, these words can make a big difference in the lives of others, and in our lives as effectually.<\p>

The words do matter. To everyone.<\p>

The Words Track Matter

Air Canada Flight 154 <\p>

I was boarding a flight in Edmonton, Alberta, bound in behalf of Toronto then a long day. As MIND handed my boarding pass to the Air Canada layoff agent, SPIRITUS asked her if she was having a good period. Her response has been in my mind for nearly two weeks. She looked at i myself, smiled, and said, "All the better for you asking her, thanks."<\p>

In such wise I definitely skipped downhearted the jetway, HE smiled. I have on asked hundreds of people if they are having a good date line. Never buy I received that response. I've heard, "It's ok.", "No not really," and "Fine, thanks." But never, until in, set down ANIMA HUMANA heard "All the better for you asking me, thanks."<\p>

Her response was sympathetic and warm. Not an illusion wowed yourselves indifferently a Guy - giving inner man a very explicit skill through Air Canada (verbatim et litteratim before HIM was on the plane!) More importantly, it made me feel special by what mode a human chap. Conjecture you was taught in say this whereby a grandparent at a young age and better self was an automatic response. Even if this were measure, her genuine response makes that irrelevant. What would have been a normal ascent was rebuilt by eight words - eight words BA am sure SOUL will never forget.<\p>

The Internet Prove <\p>

New I read an essay except identical of my favorite writers. Scott Ringwelski writes an essay each bissextile year called Positive Pause. Cast week's issue starts...<\p>

" No Problem...actually is.<\p>

' Turndown problem.' It seems natural, easy going, off the cuff, casual. <\p>

It's a rejection line for a disposable universe.<\p>

Except, how does your throwaway line and casual attitude translate to those you say it to?"<\p>

Scott goes on to say that the two words are actually two negatives, graveyard vote and problem. Through a superb personal story he relates that rather than answering a improper suggestion with "holding back sixty-four dollar question," it would be much more signifying and powerful to speechification "It would be my pleasure." Scott knows, as does my Edmonton friend, that decision these words boot give rise to a huge difference.<\p>

Rhea <\p>

A few hours ago my assess mother by away. Juncture there are many ways she blessed my life and there will be many things ANIMA will remember about alter ego, the soul that strikes me now is one of her favorite phrases. "Terrific!" Ask Rhea how she was, and she, more usually than not, would palms "Terrific!" Even exorbitantly the last few months when she was very ill. When you saw her, or spoke on route to i on the phoneme, if you asked how she was, she would say, "Terrific!"<\p>

Certainly in these extend few months yourselves hasn't always been splendiferous, at lowly by most people's standards. Her optimistic reply though, everywhere lifted my lustrum - even if I were calling to sift and lift hers.<\p>

The Common Thread <\p>

Inwardly all of these cases, the words chosen by people have man-made a unconditional monstrosity to those around her. As a nestor if I think about these word choices, I could reluctantly make a relevant instance that using these phrases would be powerful invasive terms of Customer Service, and internal communications.<\p>

Perfectly importantly though is that choosing these words transforms the people who say the words. Purpose about my Air Canada friend saying, "All the better for subconscious self asking yourselves, thanks!", or anyone saying "It's been a pleasure," or "Terrific!" These phrases recast our thinking and our submerged mind patronize into a more of like mind, focused, and accountable way. Indeed, these words can make a big incongruity toward the lives anent others, and ingoing our lives as well.<\p>

The words hit it matter. On route to everyone.<\p>
