@HappyDae @mollydotcom Ah! I see. Must have been a misunderstanding. Not to be ‘that guy’, but that stuff spreads through repetition.

@Transition @mollydotcom I mean REALLY. Who looks for proof in a pudding??

@HappyDae @mollydotcom LOL! I’ve NO IDEA on the origin of that! Never made sense to me either. R U looking for proof someone MADE pudding?

@Transition @mollydotcom Original is "The proof of the pudding is in the tasting." Now THAT makes sense, no?

@HappyDae @mollydotcom THAT makes sense! I guess it ‘drifted’ over time. I may write a blog post about the “Crisis/Opportunity” thing.

@Transition @mollydotcom Please send me the link, that I may read it, OK?

@Transition @HappyDae So the saying, "May you live in interesting times" - is that accurate, and is it seen as a blessing or a curse if so?

@mollydotcom @happydae AFAIK it's accurate and a curse. But I haven't looked into it. Maybe I should!

@mollydotcom @HappyDae I’ll write it later tonight or early tomorrow. In this case, it’s a simple misunderstanding, repeated a lot. :-)
