If your Green Bricks were.... (house, name, reputation, check)

[ontheroad]

I was just laughing to myself about the reputation point green bricks and wondered what I'd do with them if they were

- dollars
- mileage
- books
- scholarships
- trees

You name it.

When you see those green bricks mounting (check with HDL), what do you see or compare them to IRL?

Anything?

I just want to start singing (from Wizord of Oz)..."follow the green brick road...follow, follow, follow, follow, follow the green brick road" Then the wicked witch of the west shows up and takes all of my green bricks away!

pats on the back!

In fact, I also think of the Wizard and Oz when reading many of the posts.

Thanks for the image!

I think of them as friendships I am making on this board. For each brick I am getting about 50 to 100 friends or renewing old friendships. And, of course, the dreaded red thingy is an unfriend in deed.

"a splendid one to behold" !!?? ...who makes these up?

Glad we got ya over the 900 mark, OTR. The next step is a gold brick? I'm taking you to lunch when that happens ...hold me to it.


edit: I guess you got one more light green one to go before the gold ...gold is just around the corner, though.

You always make me smile, 'rocco--bricks or no bricks.

And I will hold you to that lunch--but we'll probably have to meet half-way!

Gosh, and here I was thinking that this should be under the "house" catagory and who on earth would have green bricks on their house. LOL!!! Easy answer, PAINT! As much as I hate painted brick I'd paint it if I did have them. LOL!!!

Hmmmm, now for the question at hand. I guess I too see it as a friendship kind of thing. That somehow by giving out info to someone it enhanced their life or gave them a smile and a chuckle, lifted their spirits or something. What would I do with them..... spread them around. What good is keeping them all to myself if I can't make other people as happy as myself.

Friendship is a sure winner (3 for 3) as I am including pats as a form of friendship.

Thanks for the responses thus far....and green brick IRL--might not work for me personally.

Sometimes I forget all about them, then later I notice them and go "whoa."
I like what mollysmiles says, and I guess that is sort of how I feel about them.
