Have you ever lost a great idea?

By
Real Estate Agent with RETIRED 200305001

Have you ever lost a GREAT blogging idea? I have. A couple days ago I was sitting at lunch with a group. A great idea popped into my head and a real rare thing happened, NO ink pen to jot it down. Usually my ideas come when at the gym on the treadmill. You guessed it, No ink pen. I always think I will remember it.

About that idea while at lunch the other day, No idea, I forgot it. Has this happened to you?

The next time it happens, grab your cell phone AND LEAVE YOURSELF A MESSAGE!  The idea will hang in cyberspace until you retrieve it!  ( It could be a million dollar idea!)

Hi Rob....the short answer is yes. Oh well, you'll remember or not. Worse things happen. Have a good evening.

So funny...Yes, Yes, Yes.    I dreamt of a blog the other night.. no pen available.  It was a great idea..but I can't remember the entire thing.   How crazy is that??

Rob, some of my best ideas come right before I go to sleep....and, I don't keep a pen and paper handy.  I really should.
