Today I learned that even at the beginning of February it can be HOT.

You learned that long ago, my friend.

Today I learned that one must not answer the phone while chicken is cooking in a George Foreman Grill if one wants an edible meal. Burned in 2 minutes flat...

Whoa! Your post gave me a jolt. That must've been traumatizing. Last year a teenager jumped/fell (hasn't yet been determined) from the seventeenth floor of my girlfriend's building. We left early that morning & saw "parts" strewn over the street. We were both quite shaken for some time & stayed at my place. Hope you're doing okay.

Thanks, I'm fine. Other than the crew, nobody on the train saw anything.

Today I learned that I do indeed look at the keys when I type. Yesterday after I went home a colleague switched the N and the M on one of my keyboards, so this morning I ended up locking myself out of my account. After figuring out what was wrong I, of course, did the same thing to another colleague.

Today I learned that you shouldn't procrasinate valentine's day if something is expected.

Today I learned that I CAN keep a clear head while trying to avoid what could have potentially been a very bad car accident, boy was I scared though.

I'm glad you were able to avoid the accident.

Today I learned that there is another Internet place where I'll probably hang out a whole lot: and part of the Apple Website with discussions in support of various programs. We've just bought iWorks 08, and I'm trying to learn to use the program Pages to create "real" books.

I got my first question answered in two hours.

Sue

Apple's discussion forums are great! I've found a lot of answers to problems there, and learned quite a few "tricks" too.

Today I learned that A LOT of men shop at Victoria's Secret on Valentine's Day.

Today I learned that giving without receiving has instant gratification but its not long lasting.

tollbaby · Post by **tollbaby** » Fri Feb 15, 2008 9:59 am

Really? I've found that the opposite is true (I get much more out of GIVING something than I do out of receiving, and I continue to get something out of it long after the gift is given).

For instance, at Christmas, as a hostess gift, I gave my aunt a pillar candle in a hurricane-type holder. She loved it so much, she still gushes about it two months later, uses it every time she's at the cabin, and I feel fantastic

Last Christmas, I knit another aunt a scarf... got to see her wearing it on Sunday, and felt all warm and fuzzy all over again

Just to keep this on topic,

Today I learned that if I shift my car into 1st gear when the roads haven't been clear, I wont slide around at all! (I have an automatic... no one had ever explained this to me before, and I didn't have a car last winter).

Today I learned that my body no longer wakes up when needed. Must use alarm clock.

sweetharleygirl · Post by **sweetharleygirl** » Tue Feb 19, 2008 2:05 pm

Today I learned, well actually it was yesterday, that if I cry when we hit a deer, my husband will tease me unmercifully about it because I'm such a softy.

Today I learned that if I accidently put a wood spoon on a burner that is still hot (because I forgot to turn it off!!) the spoon will burn.

Tonight I learned that if I try to make an utterly impossible lunge in volleyball, twisting my body as I'm actually heading in the wrong direction, I WILL hurt my ankle.

Today I learned that I am a much happier person with short hair.

Hehehe... I learned that two-and-a-half months ago.
Well done!

Today I learned that when your hair feels funny while trying to do it, it most likely means you forgot to rinse out the conditioner.

tollbaby · Post by **tollbaby** » Wed Feb 20, 2008 7:16 pm

forgot to... erm.... do you step out of the shower after you've put in the conditioner? (My mom won't even wash her hair in the shower... I don't think she's ever used the shower in her house - she sponge bathes... what a hell of a lot of trouble!)

ashellinak · Post by **ashellinak** » Wed Feb 20, 2008 9:38 pm

In this particular case I used one of those intense "put in hair and wait ten minutes" conditioners. During that time I washed my face, body, shaved, brushed my teeth and completely forgot about the hair. Not as bad as the time I only shaved one leg!

I didn't explain myself well enough, I LOVE LOVE LOVE giving. But on valentines day I was giving and everyone gave and recieved. I was the only one not to recieve and it got rubbed in my face... so I wasn't very happy at the time.

Well i had it cut really short on halloween... and it grew out to my shoulders, so I got it cut again which was nice.

Today I learned that trying to explain hilariously complicated inside jokes to someone can earn you odd stares....and have them question your sanity

Today I learned I may have the beginnings of a stalker. Creepy!!!

Today I learned that ravenwing989 like to give out just enough information to get you interested, but doesn't expand on it.

So, what's the story behind this.

ashellinak · Post by **ashellinak** » Thu Feb 21, 2008 5:10 pm

Today I learned that I am going to go see the play Mousetrap on March 8th.
