Foo - Never underestimate the power of.......

<fill in the blank> and discuss.

sex

^^that has never been underestimated

Confidence

Stupidity.

Cheese!

fear

paranoia.

<fill in the blank> and discuss.

Never underestimate the power of.......

fill in the blank>> The inability of people to follow the simplest requests.

and discuss>> Everyone after the OP until this post, totally failed to DISCUSS*. I think that when the request is simple, people tend to under read and assume. The Termite King wanted to know what your feelings were on the matter, not just a one word reply.

*One exception where one poster discussed but failed to fill in the blank!

I've probably just set myself up here to be targeted. :(

Belief in oneself.

For with that belief you can find the power within to be strong enough to achieve your goals.

Obsessiveness (oh and a good poo) :rolleyes:

Yup

Ben Gay as a suppository

please don't make me discuss until I have my ice water bath.

Arrogant pricks. Do I really need to elaborate? I was like......

"Lesson number one: Don't underestimate the other guy's greed!" Frank Lopez "Scarface" 1983

handcuffs. It takes more than a hairpin to get out of them.

fear

Didn't feel like getting all P&R-like but I was thinking of the previous administrations use of fear to affect public opinion (i.e., terror alerts).

OK, for real...

The power of a smile

You change a persons mood, attitude, demeanor, etc. often with a simple smile. I work in a medical facility that treats our veterans. I do not work in a medical profession however, and I do not work directly with our patients. However I always amke sure I greet every one I pass, stand in an elevator with, or stand in line with in the canteen (but not in the bathroom). Your smile can make a stranger who's feeling worried or concerned, less so and in a small way lift some of their anxiety. Your smile is a recognition of that person, making them realized that they are noticed, and are somebody. Sometimes a smile will get a glare or look away in return, that the other persons problem not yours. Give them them out freely, they cost nothing but are worth a lot.

I love, at work, smiling big and little old ladies and men. They are expecting you are only paying attention to the cute young girls, and then you surprise them with a big unadulterated free smile!!! Sometimes with chili breath...or maybe hummus breath.

As long as you don't work in a gorilla enclosure. :D.

Never underestimate the power of a shower after a trying day. It sounds stupid but I immediately feel better, especially when travelling. It makes you feel you are here in the present, not scattered all over the place.

paranoia.

What do you mean by that???

"luck". My future retirement depends on it :thumb:

Cabbage...I knew I shouldn't have cooked that last night.

Faith in God

It has resulted in incredible good: Hospitals, education, caring, generosity, freedom of mind, strength and direction in horrible times.

BUT it can result in Bombings, hatred, arrogance, judgement, fear, slavery, oppression-

It has brought our world true heros-Mother Theresa, Billy and now Franklin Graham, Tony Compolo. And Scoundrels, Al Queda, Jim Jones, Polygamist cults,

Feel free to add to either list.

I stopped paying attention to "cute young girls" 40 years ago. Women do it waaaaaaaaay better.

Oral....

Grumpy people on the internet.

They can piss all sorts of people off.

You mean this lady (http://www.newstatesman.com/200508220019)?

Beans and BBQ sauce for the ability to produce methane and aromatic esthers.........

Confidence

gyrating hips. Gets me in trouble ever time I look at your avatar! LOL! ;0)

the smell of freshly baked bread



makes me hungry every time.

I hope you aren't betting your retirement on a "sure thing" at the horse track. :p

I might as well have.

I had never seen that, so thanks for educating me. In the long run, were kids better or worse off because of the little lady? She can be moved to the villain list if you want to.

listening...really listening without also thinking about what you'll counter with. Give full respect whether an audience of one or one hundred.

Never underestimate the power of....... a Duramax Diesel.

sodomy

a ghost pepper.....holy hell, those things are hot.

The 60 year old guy who rolls up to the group ride on his 1970's Paramount. In fact, never understimate the power of anyone you haven't ridden with before.

Stupid relatives.

a scrotal hernia. The kind they check for when the doc says "turn your head and cough." Very painful.

Christmas.

Who doesn't love that unique combination of crass materialism and heartfelt sentiment? It's a time of toys and quiet reflection.

God bless us, every one.

The rage of some people when you point out you never experience snow.

Need I elaborate?

And idea, whether good or bad.

And following up on your ideas (or dreams if you will) is what makes life interesting.

Pepto Bismol, it literally saved me today.
