Your thoughts? Preferably limited to those appropriate to the generally family-friendly content of this blog.

In the alternative, amuse yourself by making your very own labels. There's really not much happening here today anyway.

My ex always used to say that it is an ill wind that blows no minds.

Useless chatter, things that mean nothing, just air.. creating wind.. but causes no change or thought.

Just my immediate thoughts. :)

Sort of like, "Life is always unfair, but sometimes it's unfair in your favor."

No matter how much something sucks, there must be someone benefiting from it somehow. (And I'm still waiting for the time when that someone is me!)

It's windy here today. Not sure what that means and if or what it's blowing my way.

I love the link!

I must be exhausted, Niobe, because it took me a couple of minutes to figure out how this could be interpreted as illicit.

Stupid, stupid Becky.

the opposite of bad things happen to good people. good things happen to bad people? like the crack addict who is very pregnant and who stands by the dumpster on my way to work?

(ok, being an addict doesn't make someone a bad person. but still.)

it's about negative people...thier constant negativity helps none.

Negativity -- negative thoughts, words and deeds -- do no one any good.

Words by which I wish more people lived.

Christine said...

not sure i can put my thoughts together for this. . . but the two words "ill wind" always make me shiver.

Running on empty

I like this retro label thing. I went and made one too.

BasilBean said...

I think at first I read it as "It's an ill wind that blows good to no one" as in, if there is no good to be attained from something then it is ill/bad. But I suppose it could also be understood as the people affected by an ill wind are no good. Hmm...

i made a label, too. I need to noodle around with it to see if I can get it to post larger, though.

If this blog is family-friendly, I don't know if I want to read anymore. I like the sometimes dark, double entendres that can be taken in a less than family friendly way.

Emily said...

Ahhh.

It's referring to the snow storm that has snowed us in and is keeping us from leaving on the trip we have planned.

No Good, indeed!

i think it is latin for:

"send your friend christina cupcakes or an ill wind WILL blow."

When I read this I thought about my 4yr old and the effects of black beans on his digestive system.

Julie Pippert said...

Well now all I've got is perversion and sewer mind LOL..

My dog after rawhide, for example.

Or worse.

Umm, out of that vein.

How about a rush of thought---such as this cult of fear right now---that catches people up and tosses them from thinkign and action to reaction?

What did the label maker have no apostrophes? That's actually very appropriate for this style of communication. I don't really have a particular understanding of the phrase, but I would probably go with Basilbean's interpretations.

I always thought of the saying as another way to say "Look on the bright side" or "Every cloud has a silver lining" or "There's no great loss without some small gain." You know, the kind of thing Ma Ingalls would say. A little too chipper for my taste!
