Two kinds of Words

Latosol seems like a legit word. Words that I feel like they would have a meaning and that I would like to know. There are many in the dictionary half baked for every day talking but great for points in games like Scrabble or Scramble with Friends.

What if you use your dishwasher to wash your clothes?

Take a good look at this  Exhibit A.
Doesnt it look awfully similar to 

In a recent Costco jaunt, looking for laundry detergent, we found tide pods and then we found this green and white thing at a lesser price and bonus pods. Happy shoppers. A recent ad with a husband and wife quabbling over scrubbing the muffin pan before putting into the dishwasher with 'cascade'. And then comes in  
the mediator/expert who says that the husband is right. I looked at this ad peripherally a couple of times, until this time where I started paying attention. And then it made me wonder if my clothes are being washed with a dishwater detergent. A quick laundry room check confirmed it. 
 In  this world of grabbing discounts, it is not a surprise that such mess ups happen. Trying to satisfy an optimizing condition, hurting the main function.

I hear her breathe. Its a mark in time.

Novelty captures us for a moment. In a long piece, how is the reader in thrall for succession of moments?
Last night while reading something,  I thought that I should read fiction at least until I reach one imaginative leap.

Baby shower party favor

Pacifier shaped candy

Milk bottle shaped candy


Walking the aisles of Walmart for the party bags, I found these baby feet shaped candy. They are colourful than they look here.



All these went in to the plastic wine glass.
