# I Spill the Beans...

It was a morning, indeed. I’m glad I’ve trained my brain to give thanks at all times and in all places. It’s an excellent tool for my toolbox, along with spontaneous laughter. Try laughing out loud when you’re by yourself. We use "LOL" often, but how frequently do we really laugh out loud? Don’t mind the people who may see or hear you and call you crazy. I want to be a bit crazy.

## A Morning of Mishaps

First, I walked outside with my socks on and stepped onto a soppy, wet rug on my deck. And it was 48 degrees. Next, I caught the puppy’s ear in the buckle of her collar. Ouch! Sorry, Phoebe.

And then, the most ridiculous thing of the morning, I spilled the beans, as in coffee beans. But it wasn’t just a typical spill of beans on the floor. No, this was a crazy spill. I “put” the beans into my grinder but did not remove the lid. They hit the convex cover and scattered in a hundred directions. Oh, my giddyup! I buy excellent coffee and didn’t want to lose a single bean. Phoebe came running to investigate as I scooped the beans off the floor, counter, under the refrigerator, and stove. At least everything was dry—milk’s one of the worst things to spill.

## Laughter and Song

I’m laughing and wondering where my brain is this morning, so I start to sing, “I love to laugh. Hahaha. Loud and long and clear.”

## The Origin of "Spill the Beans"

My curiosity asked, “Hey, Google. Where did the saying, ‘Spill the beans,’ come from?” The answer completely surprised me. Straight from Google’s AI search:

This expression is believed to originate in ancient Greece, where beans were used as a means of electing officials. Candidates in elections would place their upturned helmets in a line, and voters would put a bean in the helmet of their preferred candidate. When the election process ended, the number of beans in each helmet would be counted, and the winner was the candidate with the largest number of beans. The winner’s helmet was then returned to him with the beans inside. He would then spill the beans and place the helmet on his head, thereby signifying his acceptance of the post to which he had been elected. Spilling the beans was therefore a means of revealing the outcome of a secret process and has passed into the language as disclosing a secret.

Did any of you know this? It went on to include this bit of information: If you spill the beans, you reveal a secret that you are not supposed to disclose. Criminals being interrogated by the police often spill the beans and reveal the names of their accomplices.

## Spilling the Beans on Our Products

I’m on a roll here with this bean thing! I’ll spill the beans about our products. Get ready…

We offer fabulous wire from the USA, Italy, and China, depending on what you need and your desire for durability. The USA and Italian-made wire will last longer as they are superior. Some products, such as hexagonal wire, are not manufactured in the USA. They all come from China.

I greatly respect government projects, and many require products made in the USA. We bid on many projects that are set aside for small businesses, and some are set aside for women-owned businesses. I want to support American companies every time I can. Did you know small businesses employ half of the American workforce and represent 43.5% of our GDP?

Thank you for buying from Louis Page. I’m spilling the beans; we are a small, woman-owned business that has been around for 131 years!

Call Terry at 978-486-3116. 99% of the time, she can find what you want. If she can’t, it’s probably because nobody makes it!

Kind Regards,

Debbie Page
