For Lynne

This post is for Lynne, because she was very disappointed with my last post, and the last thing anyone wants to do is disappoint a woman. Especially one who knows where you live and has a key to your home.

Ever feel like you can't get a single thing done? That's today. Every stinking person in this office building wants something from me!! I CAN"T HELP ALL OF YOU AT ONCE!!!! It's kind of like that shirt, "I can only help one person at a time, and today's not your day. Tomorrow's not looking to good, either." That's my new slogan. That's why I can never run for president. I'd never get elected with that kind of work ethic. It's true for a lot of people, but not many people are honest enough to admit it. Maybe I should be less truthful.

Ever use loopholes? I happen to be the king of loopholes, so if you ever need to get out of something, let me know and i'll think up a good excuse for you. My mother would fuss at me for throwing something (like a ball) in the house, and I'd respond, "I didn't throw it though, I tossed it, and you didn't say I couldn't toss stuff." That's not the best logic in the world, but it's true. If you give me an example, I can give you a loophole. Is that necessarily something to be proud of? Probably not, but I am (just a little bit). Everybody's good at something. I'm good at telling people what they need to hear in time of trial, and what they want to hear when I can't really help them.

Have you ever figured out what your love language is? Funny side note: just cuz it's called a love language doesn't mean you only use it with your spouse/significant other. It just means how you convey your emotions towards people; it's how you best communicate. My wife is quality time. If she's upset with you, she doesn't want to be anywhere around you. If she's really happy with me, or needing some extra loving, she'll want to sit next to me - not even to talk sometimes, just to be with me. I totally don't get that, but I'm words. I like to talk. WHAT?!?!?! You? Talk? Never! Yes, it's true, I use words. That's why I enjoy doing this whole blog thing and I don't really care if no one responds, just cause I'm getting my thoughts out and I like to pretend that someone is reading them and maybe enjoying them. I do enjoy the occasional response, and when I get negative ones (like today), I like to respond and hopefully fix the problem. Understanding your love language (LL) is really important when it comes to making/keeping friends, because you can look for people that will be able to communicate on your level. I love talking with other words people, because we can bond or whatever. It also really helps with your spouse, because if you can communicate it to them, they'll know how to show you love. It's even more important the other way around. If you can figure out what your spouse's LL is, it will revolutionize your marriage. You can do the smallest gestures, and they will love it. Melissa can walk in the house, say "I love you baby," and not even stay in the same room with me, but I immediately feel loved for the rest of the evening. If, on the other hand, she comes in and sits next to me while I'm on the computer and she reads a book, I feel completely ignored. See what I mean? Now, that's just an example, because we do know each other's LL's, so we've gotten really great at communicating. You should look into it if you get a chance.

Have you ever been to one of those websites that shows how many sodas it takes to kill you? it's kind of morbid, but I think it's funny. Take this for example: I could drink 266.34 cans of Dr. Pepper before croaking. Here's the link for it: http://www.energyfiend.com/death-by-caffeine/ . It also does like certain kinds of candy, too. Just something good to do if you're bored or something.

Read today that the most births in one family was 69 children to one woman. OOOOOOOWWWW!!!!!!!!! That's ridiculous. Check this out: The world record for having the most number of children officially recorded is 69 by the first of two wives of Feodor Vassilyev (1707-1782), a peasant from Shuya, 150 miles east of Moscow. In 27 confinements, she gave birth to 16 pairs of twins, seven sets of triplets and four sets of quadruplets. The children were born between 1725-1765.
