You learn something new everyday: what did you learn today?

That I must trim my nails before I play my acoustic guitar, my high e nearly cut through my ring finger's nail when I was practicing the Farmville theme.

I learned next time I make a "to do" list that long, I need to hire a couple of assistants to help.

Farmville huh, like the game? Don't they call a similar game "Happy Farmer" over in Russia?

I learned that my corn grows better in the bigger gray pots than it does in the smaller black ones. I hope I remember that next spring...

I learned that one of my buddies that I used to play music with is an aspie. I usually have decent A-dar, but I had no idea with him. I also had a profound conversation with one of my best friends from when I was younger and learned far too much to ennumerate here.

I learned I can see many con trails from airplanes flying to the Southeast, South, Southwest and West out of D.C./Baltimore areas from where I live. There's all these white lines in the sky pointing to the D.C./Baltimore areas.

If I drink an energy drink, before I go to my parents home, I don't need a nap.

I have learned Spring does not last very long here in Southeast Virginia. One day there are no leaves on the trees, the next day the trees all have leaves on them. It reminds me of those old nature films we watched back in elementary school with the lights out and the hum of an old film projector displaying the film on a large white screen. They were always time lapse films where they showed nature bursting forth in all her radiant glory, bright green leaves errupting from bare tree branches, bulbed flowers reaching for the sky just to unfold their colorfully beauty, Robin's eggs in a nest suddenly hatching into wobbley open beaked heads chirpping "FEED ME!". Well so it goes in this part of Virginia.

My sister believes in early potty training, meaning starting at 18 months. I wasn't completely trained, until after my 3rd birthday. I'm taking this, with a grain of salt.

I have potty trained a large number of children and I always waited until they were 2 years or older per advice from a pediatrician and child psychologist. You're setting most up for failure doing it that early. It can be pushed but I wouldn't do that to a child.

I learned that me and tennis do not mix.

I learned that my best friend's cat, Pork Chop, caught a mouse today. She* called me and told me.






*She = my friend, not her cat.

I learned that I am not allowed to own a ferret, here in Queensland!
If I lived thirty kilometers away, in New South Wales, I could!
blah

I learned that it the people at my local university's psych clinic are very kind.

My Mum has poor spatial thinking. She can't turn around objects and places! She gets lost sooo easy!
But I have GPS inside and I can lead her

So let it be your lesson for today: some people are pretty on the photos, even if they aren't pretty in real. I heard it depends of triangle between cheekbones and chin - if it is equilateral, you have more chance to look good on photo.
Remember - pictures lie!
