In reply to missing people, dissatisfaction *rant triggers*, posted by karen_kay on November 29, 2007, at 13:58:21
Betty Crocker... I remember a syndicated columnist writing about his lust for the "new Betty" when they did a makeover in 1986. For some thoughts on Betty through the years see

and

Anyway, sorry you feel so... dissatisfied. Interesting to think about the difference between satisfaction and happiness. I'm not really even sure happiness is something I really know how to think about. Satisfaction and dissatisfaction I know pretty well. Or do I? I guess I mean something more like relief when I think of satisfaction, as in reacting to success with "at least I didn't screw that up too badly" (relief) rather than thinking "I did a pretty good job" (satisfaction).
