i've been looking for this for awhile... then realized the book it was in is on the shelf behind me forever...

It is a cute little poem but it has stuck with me for many many years. I don't actually do the coin flip but just thinking about the poem frees my mind in the same way.

"When ever you are called upon to make up your mind
Any you are hampered by not having any,
The best way to solve the dilemma, you'll find
Is simply by flipping a penny.

"No--not so that chance shall decide the affair
While you're passively standing there moping
But the moment the penny is up in the air
You suddenly know what you're hoping."


That is credited to P.He rep., published in The People's Almanac copyright 1975.

That must be what I basically do when I ask my hubby's opinion on things. I'll pose the question to him "Do I do this... or that?" Once he tells me, I know what I want to do... and it's usually the opposite of what he says! LOL He doesn't think it's funny, though. A tip for decision making

attentionThis is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.
