What did you learn today?

Hmmm...I'll have to give that a shot.


EDIT: Just listened to it - very cool, but sounds a lot like other stuff from that time. IMO, nothing before or since "Frankenstein" sounds quite like "Frankenstein."

To each his own. I saw an Edgar Winter and Leon Russell show sometime in the early 80s that was one of the best shows I've ever seen. Two fabulous musicians.

I learned that when someone calls your store and asks, "What are your hours today?" they don't want to hear, "Every one is 60 minutes, the same as every day."

I learned that a Squier did belong in my collection, after all.

I learned that if I was to eat all of a Polar Bear's liver, I would likely die of vitamin A overdose. So, polar bear liver is off the menu, unless I am sharing!

Got a first glimpse today at a site that may well turn out to be the oldest known observatory on Earth - Dreamtime astronomy and the ancient observatory that could rewrite history

I learned yesterday (sorry!) that that stuff in the can from Libby's is probably not pumpkin in spite of what it says on the label. It's Dickinson squash, and the FDA is loosey goosey enough about what words mean that they're ok with this.

I feel swindled.

Today, I again learned that medical science can be amazing, but it knows nothing about why my kid has been in near constant pain for over a month.
Today, I am learning to dislike Doctors more than I already did.

Today, I learned that I am way done with my kid being sick, and I want him back the way he was.

Please?

I learned that if you drive a lot it's better to have more horsepower than better gas mileage for it makes it less frustrating dealing with other drivers having the horsepower to pass them.

I really don't want to "like" this. But I want to say that I'm pulling for you and your son.
