These things I DON'T know, for sure--

Some accomplish the goal of knowing certain things for sure. Well, me...psssh...please...I have to admit that I haven't really figured out much in my 62 years. Or if I knew stuff I now have forgotten. I think. So while the threads are running through my mind--These things I DON'T know for sure--(in no particular order, of course):
1. how to run a computer effectively and how to design a snazzy blog.
2. why any one would like rap dare we call it music.
3. why it takes so long to lose a pound and no time at all to gain it back.
4. how to stay positive and optimistic.
5. higher level math and those damn story problems.
6.directions--north, south, east, or west--how to know where places are located. (Honest, Rach, I do try!)
7.how anyone can be calm, cool, and collected in moments of crisis.
8. how to throw a fun party (and keep my sanity.)
9. why "some people" don't understand my sense of humor. (including but not limited to my SIL)
10. how to drive safely and sanely in big cities where I'm unfamiliar.
11. how I got the three cutest grandsons in the world and how I could love them any more.
12. how to stop--there's so much...

LOL I don't know most of those things either, and I'm just pushing 26... yikes. More important stuff to think about, like the cold glass of eggnog and rum waiting for me at home... :)

I don't consider myself old being only 40, but that rap music gets me all the time. I have no idea why and how it became so popular and well paid.

Oh, this was terrific!! I wish I could help you with these, but the simple truth is, I have NO idea about these things as well!

Thanks for the smile!

Even if you take a computer class, you'll still have a million things to learn about computers.

Rap is not music. It's noise.

It's so much more fun to gain weight than to lose it.

The glass is half full/empty depending on whether you just filled it or drank from it. This neutral stance is great. Better than being an optimist or a pessimist.

Who needs math, anyway?

GPS. End of story.

Wine. Valium. Or both.

Go to someone else's party and enjoy.

Because they suck.

The only way to drive in a big city is to drive like the locals... pushy and scary. No, it's not safe. No, you will not keep sane. Sorry.

Because you're so lucky!

Why stop?

Haha... This is great. I can relate to almost all. Hope you're having a wonderful weekend Jo. Oh, and by the way Jo= great name. My middle name is Jo. Named after my Mom + my dad. I was supposed to be a boy I think. lol

LOL! But mostly about those idiotic story problems. Man I hated those. Do they even still do them?

I agree with lots of that list. And some thing?? I couldn't care less anymore.
