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

Oh, wow, this is still active.

I learned that hot wings are truly an awesome breakfast idea.

it was a great idea.

i learned that one of the (many) physical manifestations of anxiety can be a phlegm buildup/overproduction in the throat.

^Well, that certainly explains why my throat often gets so tight and dry.

maybe.

i learned that my GF is moving further inland to a larger property in two years time, and she plans (or hopes) to take me with her.

Downloading to google drive can lose potions of documents that are visible when just downloading them in Exell.

I learned that tinky2 started this thread over a year ago. (it is my favorite)

Oh, well thank ya.

I learned that for that for the first time in a year, I miss him and it sucks. It just hit me. I saw him for the first time in awhile two weeks ago and felt fine at the parting. I don't know what's wrong with me.

i learned that i probably shouldn't emulate other people's art styles in plasticine.

That the web comic developer Loading Artist has a snapchat and he's pretty funny irl.

That tinky2 is and hopefully will be a long term resident of wrong planet

That 130 people died in the Moscow theatre siege because the spetsnaz pumped in a mysterious chemical agent to incapacitate the whole place through the ventilation system as the chechen terrorist group were so well dug in, supposedly a combination of the animal sedative carfentanil and anesthetic agent remifentanil... and many of them could have been saved if the medical staff were supplied knowledge of the stuff they used so as to appropriately go about resuscitating them but were denied the information... suppose 130 people out of 800 is a good trade off considering the alternative of a suicide bomb bloodbath or the roof caving in on everyone. They shot every member of the group whether they were still conscious or zonked out, some of them were carrying gas masks so it was still a vicious firefight.

I get so distracted easily by my obsessions. I def keep trying to remember to come on here. I've technically been coming to this site since 2005 or something but my life is more complicated these days than when I was a teenager.

Another thing I learned is that in 2005 Tom Fitzhigham successfully rowed the English Channel in a bathtub.

His telling of it is hilarious: http://player.themoth.org/#/?actionType ... ryId=10316

i learned i cannot ever be trusted to lead a completely independent life just yet, and i may end up a dependent for much longer.

not bringing the passport or a receipt to the DMV to restart the licensing process, because i failed three times too many. putting my bike on the bike rack on the bus, walking in and realizing i am a dollar short. $1.75. not $.75.

being asked if i had ridden the bus before, when i have been a regular customer for nearly 14 years. getting off, getting my bike back off again and putting the rack back up, hitting my head on the mirror in the process. being hung up on by an employer who had already found someone before i could even say "thanks for your time". at least i didn't stutter.

envy. envy is everywhere in me. envy towards everyone i see. envy towards everyone employed. it's not that i'm not trying. maybe i should be bending over further. envy towards my girlfriend who landed a job at an art supply store near my house, right after the interview. i didn't know they needed someone. i'd have happily gone there myself. she's the last person i wanted to feel envy towards. is it my face?

i wish i could get rid of it. when people look up to the sky and say "look at that! not a cloud in sight!" i look up too.

there's all that blue, and taking over that blue are...the flashes.

I learned that spending 1,000 American on one singular computer part is absurd

That the Off the Wall section has become home to a series of "We love this WP member" threads. Just used to be a games thread awhile back

I remember those days tinky2 vividly for, I was part of that timeline when such took place
