I don't understand...

Why my children need to hear me repeat myself.

Why my children need to hear me repeat myself.

How the crabgrass can grow so darn fast when the noninvaded rest of the yard is yellow/brown.

Why my children need to hear me repeat myself.

Why my internet is so slow.

Inside my head
Just one from me today.

1. The count to one million thread.

Actually more what happens when they reach one million. Will flashing lights appear with loud sirens? Will streamers flood from the roof and will someone shout "surprise! You've won a new abacus!"?

Needless to say, I keep sticking my head in there to see what's happening. Oh damn, now I've managed to excite myself. monsteR can't wait for them to get to one million now =)

In a dark convoluted misty place in my mind
In the middle of the night, when I can barely see what is around me, and I come across the horror which is The Rocking Horse - which I always imagine to be rocking to and fro ever so slightly, even though I know nobody has touched it - the appeal isn't there. At all. And if there is a slight breeze, the stirrups seem to move, which is really, really freaky.

So.... you were like this??

Maybe they love your voice. Maybe that's what I don't understand.

lost among the words
1. Why slapstick and relative-bashing is suppose to be funny.
2. Why anyone gives two whits about the Kardashians and reality shows.
3. Why the US Congress can't do the jobs they were hired to do and get over their damned selves.
4. Why my car engine light keeps coming on within 24 hours of spending another $500-700 to get the last code fixed.
5. Why I keep getting "Jan and Dean" mixed up with the Winchesters from Supernatural.

Sushi. The appeal thereof. It's globs of cold rice. Wrapped in seaweed. :Wha:

Spiders. How anyone could possibly want to keep one as a pet. :crazy:

Football. How grown men can get so emotional about it. :Shrug:

Yodelling. Just.... no. :e2hammer:

Vajazzles. 'nuff said. ;)

1. Men's nipples. Why? What for?
2. People who have strong hatred towards anything without any reason.
3. Mathematics. Spend so much time learning it yet I still can't say what's math all about.
4. Life. Obviously.
5. Death. Scares the hell out of me.

Sorry. Politics follow:

1) Religious right
2) Tea Party
3) Conservatives
4) People against Affordable Care Act
5) People who want the poor and less fortunate to die by removing "entitlement programs"

Or:
1) Why I still can't get it's from its right
2) Why people think Josh Whedon is such a genius
3) Reality Television, especially those starring Celebrities
4) Why BBC America doesn't show anything from the BBC
5) Why we have dozens of pens at home, but none of them work

  • The Princess Bride
  • Dr. Who/Torchwood
  • "haul" videos on YouTube
  • Primeval
  • Top Gun

I can't say I don't understand haul or Primeval since I don't know what they are. Agreed on other 3 points.

Why the ATM spits out $50s and $20s (mostly $50s) but most stores won't take $50s, because they don't have enough change.

Seriously, there's some sort of break in logic there. You have to be one of the first people in the store most days for them to break a $50 note.

I thought I was being clever, going into the smoke store, where everything's expensive and so they usually accept $50s. But even there they started saying they couldn't break it...

*sigh*

As for men's nipples...

Before a certain point in the creation of a person in the uterus, we're all female. At a certain point, about half the population shift to male, while the rest proceed as female.

Nipples appear before this shifting point. Women (evolutionarily speaking, anyway) need them for babies, but men get them anyway because of the path of embryonic development.

*has knowledge*

I'm in Australia. We have $20s and $50s.

And yes, it'd be handy sometimes to get $30 or $25 out!

Basically, it goes $20, $40, $50, and then every $10 after that, because of combinations of the 2 denominations.

But like, if I draw out $200? I get 4 $50s. It's annoying.
