Bad Poetry

Hot Lips Grandma
White paint peels from the door,
rusty hinges let loose a loud creek.
A small gray mouse scurries across the floor,
as cockroaches wander around the house.

I dread the encounter,
puckering, grandma opens her arms.
Her musty smell fills my nostrils,
there is no escape...
grandma's livery lips strike again.

Chat gpt's version

"Peeling White Door"

Beneath the chipping white paint of the door,

Rusted hinges groan, echoing through the hall.

A nimble gray mouse darts across the creaking floor,

While shadows of cockroaches dance on the wall.

With trepidation, I step into the embrace,

As Grandma opens her arms, her eyes aglow.

A scent of old books and lavender fills the space,

Inescapable, yet strangely comforting though.

Her lips, a vivid red, draw near with a tale,

Of years gone by and love that never fails.

In this moment, Grandma's affection prevails,

A kiss from the past, where warmth never pales.


Unnamed
I don't want to die,
let alone grow old.
So mind don't show me,
body grow cold.

I cannot face
the fate of man

I am still waiting for life to bagan
I am still waiting for a friend who is true
I am still waiting for a little respect
I am still waiting for life to make sense...

And the ultra-sound
shows a new little life
My current concerns will now take a past tense.

Chat gpt's version

"Unspoken Fears"

Fearing the final breath, the end of days,

Resisting the march of time, its unyielding hold.

Wishing my mind to veil the inevitable ways,

As my body surrenders, grows weary and cold.

Confronting destiny, mankind's shared plight,

Seems more than my heart can stand.

Yet here I linger, in life's uncertain light,

Awaiting a genuine friend to take my hand.

Longing for just a whisper of esteem,

Hoping for clarity in life's chaotic dream.

Then, in the hush of a moment, pure and serene,

An ultrasound reveals a new life, unseen.

With this promise, my present fears lose their sheen,

As the future unfolds, a journey unforeseen.

About Us

Who We Are

What to Purchase would like to become a 501(c)(3) nonprofit public charity that has no government affiliations of any kind. Our purpose is to help educate and inform consumers.

Our mission statement is:

"Organize reasons to agree and disagree with specific purchasing decisions to help consumers use their hard earned money for things that will improve their life. We want to help cut through all the misinformation constantly thrown at consumers from biased TV commercials. Our goal is not to sell magazine, or access to product reviews, by making the reader read multiple articles, and put up with authors who wish they were writing novels: we want to present decision making information quickly and efficiently."

We accomplish our mission by researching pros and cons behind specific purchasing decisions, inviting anyone who thinks we have left out a good reason to contribute, and incorporating new information as it comes in.

Best reasons to agree: +4

1. Kids remind you what it was like when you were a kid.
2. Kids connect you to the future.
3. Kids get to know what you are really like
4. Kids give you excuses to do stupid stuff. If you didn't have kids, it might be hard to:

Best reasons to disagree: -4

1.  Throw up, crying, and whining are not fun
2. When you go to the museums with kids, you can't take your time, because they have short attention spans. 
3. It is hard to go back-packing in Europe with kids.

Bolingbrook has pretty good parks. -2

Reasons to agree: + 1

1. There are a lot of Bolingbrook parks.
2. Kids don't need anything special, but each neighborhood should have open places for kids to play soccer, baseball, or swing on a swing-set. Bolingbrook has that.

Reasons to disagree: -2

2. Often Bolingbrook parks have small vandalization. 
3. Bolingbrook doesn't have parking for hardly any of their parks... its mostly just street parking.
4. Very few of Bolingbrook parks are connected with bike paths

Jonamac apple farm is the perfict farm-tourism destination outside Chicago +4.5

Background, Context, and Assumptions

Jonamac apple farm is a farm-tourism destination outside Chicago. It is located at 19412 Shabbona Rd Malta, IL 60150. Their phone number is (815) 825-2158.

Best reasons to agree: +3

1. Its good for kids to see farms. Kids should learn the science of producing food. It is good for all of us to try to produce food.
2. Joanamac is is a good farm. 
1. They have a: 
1. petting zoo with mules, sheep, chickens, and a Lama
2. apple picking, with a lot of different apple types
3. pumpkin canon, 
4. a big thing like a trampoline. 
5. old-timy-machines
6. slides
7. Kids like to play in the corn silo. 
8. they have an easy corn maze that kids can handle. They have a harder corn maze for adults.
9. they have a place where you can buy food
10. they have live music playing
11. they often have farm equipment on display
3. Joanamac is close to Chicago. It is 70 miles from Downtown Chicago, and less than that from the suburbs
1. Link

Best reasons to disagree: -

1. Jonamac should copy some of the educational stuff from the Lincoln Park Zoo farm display. Jonamac could team up with Illinois Universities to do farm-research or education. They could have signs for stuff. For instance they could say how much corn was a barrel (or bushel?) that day. They could tell you that the corn you let your kids play in won't be wasted because it will be fed to animals, or it was wasted. 
2. Jonamac could have a place for kite flying. Chicago is almost always windy. They have a lot of open space, and there is usually a crowd. Seems like a good place for kite flying.
3. Jonamac could be closer to the City. You pass an awful lot of farms on the way to Jonamac. You would think that any of these places could copy them, but get more traffic.
4. Jonamac could team up with Amish type country knick-knack stuff, to give the whole farm experience. 
5. They could have a real farmer's market at Jonamac. In the fall it gets enough traffic that they could probably sell more stuff than just apples, and fudge.
