I always get that "how do they know me" look when I'm covering news. Not as much now as I use to, but tonight the PIO for the district I'm in for hte state police seen me, the owner of hte local chick fil a knows me by name, and then there was others. Even worse, if I ever cover a sheriffs department function (like awards dinner) the sheriff knows me by name. I guess that is a good thing in the end since they know me for good reasons. I even joked with the PIO for the state police if I get of the team for hte fundraiser he was on, would that get me out of a ticket.

By Mother Goose

There was a crooked man, and he walked a crooked mile,
He found a crooked sixpence against a crooked stile;

He bought a crooked cat which caught a crooked mouse,

And they all lived together in a little crooked house.
 
We need more love and less hate in the world. Social media combined with technology that keeps our kid indoors is destroying our country.

Go for a hike, walk, and be kind to your neighbors and fellow mankind.

I am by no means stupid, but one of those things I just could never grasp was remembering which months have 31 days, and which have 30. I have tried the tricks, and it just never stuck...

But I figured it out! Something that works for me! Being an Earth, Wind, and Fire fan, I just realized that I can use "September" to rememebr!

Do you remember?
There's just 30 days in September,
April, June, and November,
And all the rest have 31!
Ba-du-da, ba-du-da, ba-du-da, ba-du
Ba-du-da, ba-du, ba-du-da, ba-du
Ba-du-da, ba-du, ba-du-da
I know....February....leave me alone!😠

Umm, I remember my math teachers and older folks like my parents refusing to let us use calculators for schoolwork cuz, "You won't always have a calculator with you".

How'd that prediction work out?

That same calculator device we all carry in our pockets always comes stock with a calendar.

Never cared for learning much math but love math theory.

Never cared enough to learn the 30/31 day thing, never found any value in knowing it.

I do absolutely know this, however, "Android loves me, this I know, cuz my Samsung devices tell me so". 😆

Math has always come easy to me. First, I am just naturally good at numbers. Second...I got a lot of detentions growing up. I mean...a LOT of detentions. That means I did a LOT of times tables.....1x1=1, and up to 12x12.

Consequently, I know the answer to any multiplication through 12x12 intuitively. I don't have to think about it at all.

When the multipliers become bigger than that, I just break it down into denominators of 12 or less, and add the answers together. It may sound complicated, but it's second nature to me, like riding a bike.

That's how I got stuck into purchasing and inventory as a career, more or less. I can think out the answer to inventory and purchasing questions faster than most people can type the question.
 
So, this is what having 20 years getting taken of your 50 years looks like by spending time between soulmates. A younger woman, even. 46. 😆

The right and best people bring out the best in each of us.

Had just gotten off the dance floor.

2 weeks with best and deepest of intellectual and spiritual friends anyone could imagine.

Also, both of us highly regard, admire and love each other deeply, always have. Just been star crossed for 30 years.

Never apart and never closer.

Been an incredible couple of weeks with awesome stories to share.

In a discussion with a friend, the topic of why we call pants and underwear a "pair", as in a "pair of pants".

My dumb friend responded "because it has two holes in it where your legs go".

To which I responded "Are you wearing a pair of T-shirts under a pair of shirts?"

...and why do we pluralize pants but not underwear? Nobody says "underwears", but they DO say "undies"....

Who made up these dumb rules? No wonder foreigners struggle with learning English, our language has a lot of stupidity built right into it.
