What did you LEARN today?

post a random fact you learned...

If there's something on your mind that just doesn't seem to fall into any of the other categories, well, it quite likely belongs inside Joe Finneman's marketplace. Think of it as a general store for general discussions!

I just learned that we own the Countermoves album! Yea!! Totally unopened and everything. Now I remember it just came in the mail one day years ago and we didn't know why... and I realize it's probably because Dave did a teeny part in one ep of Plan B.
I just learned what I'm doing later tonight! *opens the wrapper*

I learned that my seven-year-old brother can and will act up if the older three of us children try to watch an R-rated movie like The Pianist. Little brat... I've got bruises all over my body now. :-(

Yay! Let us know if listening makes you want to take a taxi ride! ;)

I learned, once again, that I dislike being called in hours early to work. :(

I always loved that taxi driver scene, he was so masculine and reckless! :inlove:

Today I learned that somehow getting sick always happens when you're about to go to a wonderful and long-awaited-for party. :sad:

I learned that the later I sleep in, the more likely I am to forget to take my meds. :anxious: I caught myself before I left the bedroom, though.

I learned that patience pays off. Instead of paying $6 per DVD, all I had to do was wait for them not to sell and they went down to $2 per DVD!!!!

I learned yesterday what a great accomplishment it is to get a chief patch at camp. :yes:

I learned that if your trampoline bar is bent, not to be roughhouse on it, otherwise it'll break and throw you to the ground. :ache:

Yesterday I learned never to stick a fork in my ear.

Today I learned how not to back the car out of the driveway. (However, I've known the correct way to do it for ages!) :oops:

I learned that you shouldn't stay up till 3 am with your friends and create a band called Freska, no matter how much ya'll are on caffine and that you should never go swimming in sixty degree weather because it gives you a huge cold that gets you coughing only days before your oral surgery.

I learned...

that splinters in someone's foot can cause them to have to make an emergency trip to the hospital

that cosplay is strange, to say the least

that EK used to eat soft bread or breadsticks when he first got his braces

that your computer always and must stay in its spot until the day you move

and that moving is difficult.

:yes: Learn these well and you shall be wise.
they may be copper,
annoying little coins! but,

I've learned 2 of those...Does that mean I'm wise?

I learned that moping a kitchen floor the size of a small bathroom is easy enough... I learned the other day that killing a snake is still as fun as ever \:D/

I love cosplaying! Especially when you're just wearing a nice dress and doing your hair nice so you can say you're Mrs. Regis Blackgaard.

I learned how to swear in Spanish. :anxious: One of my co-workers decided it would be funny to take advantage of my distraction while I was doing HER job and told me to say two words in Spanish. I wasn't paying attention at all (in fact, I don't even remember the conversation, I was so busy working), but several other people insist that I said it. Then they told me what it meant. :-(

Yesterday I learned that Jonathan has very bad navigational skills around here........and he lives here........I think I'll leave REALLY early for church just in case I need to find new directions from the one he gave me :D

It's too early for me to have learned anything yet (I've only been awake for about 15 minutes).


Peace Out

God, Grant us the peace that comes from honest dealings so that no fear of discovery will haunt our sleep May we inflict no pain, bring no shame, and seek no profit by another's loss.

I learned that my parents can be incorrigible and condescending. (always wanted to use those words)

:anxious: And that I can be, too. :roll:

Uh, I learned that recklessness is associated with masculinity :-s

I'll have to keep that in mind...
