What I learned today... or anyday for that matter, is that how little I can learn in a day.

How much time can you squeeze out after school/work, news papers, magazines,showers, listen to music, chitchat , TV shows, webs,emails, baskball, fooling around, three meals plus searching fridge plus milky way............................................

On the other hand, whatever we do, we are learning.........about life, learning what it is to be a human....

I learned that when my dell laptop doesn't wanna fire up it can be easily fixed by pulling the battery out and hitting the "on" button a few times to discharge any static. Then putting the battery back and woah-la! It fired up.

Was relieved - cause I was a bad girl and didn't back up my work files yesterday. Embarrassed

Gravy - good job on the eye contact AND chit-chat! By the way, are you still back in the States or have you moved again?

About the digression: I think kicky and I will meet someday - hopefully April - and we'll see what happens. If he came up here I'd offer him a place to stay: probably on the couch, but one never knows, does one?

What did I learn today....? Howe to correctly purl onto the fourth needle while knitting in the round (heh!).


Also, I slipped in that I was not The Kids' mother, but aunt, while talking to the hottie athletics instructor.

My neice is signed up for an afterschool gym class once a week - she has yet to actually do it, she chickens out. I wasn't so much making moves as trying not to be invisible.

Well, whatever it was, I like the idea.

Okay, I'll stop diverting this thread into a singles chat line again. Good luck with the hottie.

I learned, hmmm, that I still have an extraordinary ability to be annoyed by some people. I thought I'd grown out of that.

Hello learners/teachers.

LK: (thanks), yes I'm still in the US, scandinavian region, but wondering daily if the winds shouldn't blow me elsewhere more harmonious.

I learned today that vernal-equinox happens on Sunday at 07:34 EST and that "equinox" means "equal-night" (referring to day and night having the same duration for that day, which I learned when I was 4 for the first equinox I remember).

questions:

KC: Are you planning a Greenland trek? It is supposed to be very un-green.

paradiddle? George, can you enlighten, so I can engage my d'jembe?

LK:fourth needle in a round formation? (these needles are the ones with no butt part, right?)

A few of us learned about the paradiddle here at A2K a little while ago. Very Happy

yes, double-pointed needles.

If I still had a working digital camera, I'd show you all my first miserable attempts at a sock.


Why are the plains so unharmonious?

thanks for the paradiddle info, though it scared me off. I am still using a ' boom-butt-a-smack' naming convention for the rythms I was taught. the notes thing made me feel as if somebody gave me step by step instructions for achieving zen.

The (pond-ridden portions of) plains' lack of harmony seems to come from the political winds bundling of undies, and exposing the emperor's clotheslessness. (yesterday's lack of comprehension --> todays extreme convolutedness)

EB: if any coping mechanisms (short of pouring sugar in their gas tanks) arrive in dealing with annoyokles, will you share?

My good friend knitted a giant but gangly orange bag, and then the following day came with a metamorphosized (sp) dainty felt one...magical.

Tonight I learned that if you're out walking the dogs, and you see a man alone in the back seat of a car, it really isn't worth glancing over Shocked
