I learned that lab puppies have a hard time agreeing on exactly where they should dig the foundation for the apartment complex they are obviously planning to build.

I think I have learnt that the US postal service is worse than Australias.

Oh poor bensaf oh I mean I hope your foot is ok

I know that when I get really mad I tend to start counting in Russian:%)everyone suddenly thinks I'm cussing them out

Now Koi, you aren't helping me feel secure about this package But, I will definately never send anything to Australia or overseas again with the postal service, especially when FedEx, and UPS are so close by...

Everybody wish/pray/something that the package makes it to Lindy otherwise I'll need to take some lessons from bensaf when I go to the postoffice]:|

I learned that dropping an empty Co2 cylinder on your foot hurts like hell even though it's empty ]:| I also remembered, rather then learned, that I can swear like a drunken sailor in 4 different languages, and learned that I hardly swear in English anymore.

I learned that my wife laughs like a hysterical hyena when I do something stupid and painful to myself

Learned a lot today - none of it good

EDIT: Look, just learned I hit 800 posts
<-----------------

Like i said, none of it good

Oh heidi I gave up on US Postal service to Australia. Some of my postcards never made it and two of my packages never did. I think it was the third time on one paticular item I can remember that UPS got it there and it only took them 2 days. When shipping to Australia from the US it sure does help to get tracking numbers and delivery confirmation. Then it is like they all of sudden feel obligated to actually deliver the package.

Getting stuff from Australia is a piece of cake so what is up with that?

Today I learned how to manually zoom and focus a camera /:'

What have I learned today so far?

That there are turtles and snails that move faster than the US Postal Service...

Sorry to be negative about it, but gee whiz 4-6 weeks for delivery is normal, but it could take longer What the heck?

So Lindy the package is somewhere between Deer Park, Texas and Australia, but the postal system won't do anything until June 6th to find it:%)

I learned... hmm... that my camera doesn't particularly care for night shots beyond a certain f-stop. They turned out cruddy. Ah well, live and learn. I know what I did to make some of the shots turn out, so I'll just have to go back and retake the other shots.

Today I learned that some people should not be allowed to plan out field trips because they don't plan at all, That said, I also learned that after chasing kids all over too much land (how many acres is a circle that is 5 miles around?) that some chaperones will fall asleep on the way home, some wait till they get home-then both them and their child pass out, and then some of us are never sleeping again:%)

heidi

PS Oh yeah, I also learned what StingRays feel like for those that don't know, it feels kind of like jello that has set and is firm, but has a thin coat of water on it...mushy and slick...oh sooooooooo awesomehml

Today I learned never to buy the really expensive Barbie's because they are not meant to be actually played with (Gold label). My daughter broke it in the first 5 minutes ]:| Mattel will be geting a nasty email from me. I pay 5 times as much for a Barbie and I do expect it to be something that can be played with. Poor Barbie couldn't even get into her jeep.

The other day I learned that someone will call you out of the blue and ask you fishy questions... and how many tablespoons are in a cup. And that I actually knew. *hugs heidi* You have NO idea how nice it was to hear your voice! And of COURSE I missed you... my two best gals are MIA and you don't think I missed you?! Between you and stormy, I'm feeling all lost and confuzzled!

Today I learned that it's REALLY boring to sit through a class on boating rules and regulations when you already KNOW the answers. I hate that MI sheriff deputy people decided (after four YEARS) that our original licenses weren't good enough and we have to take a six hour course, with the test being a week from today. Stupid people.

I discovered that yet another of my panda cories is looking poorly. I don't know why and I'm getting fairly peeved about the whole deal. I don't care HOW cute they are, I'm not getting anymore. I've had enough of losing the poor lil things. I'll stick to other cories now.

I think my eldest betta girl (one of the two left from my original group) isn't going to last much longer. She looks kind of iffy and spends most of her time resting (to the point of me making sure she's still amongst the living).

I've found my betta girls will pick at the cucumber I dropped into the tank for the BN. They've never shown interest before.

I've also decided that cories are one of my favorite fish... I was laughing over their antics when I dropped in a few bottom feeder wafers and sinking shrimp pellets... had to nearly pry myself away from the tank to continue cleaning up the house.

I've learned a couple of things...

1) I got some photoshop mail in the snail mail
2) It is only going to cost $150 roughly to fix my laptop, and I'll have it back tomorrow or Wednesday
3) The lfs I like close by has added so much new stuffes it's unbelievable that they can fit it all into the space they have...and they have hired one of my favorite guys from another lfs and it makes it wonderful
4) Also 15 minutes online at a time stinks bbs

5) Learned that the computers where you can sit down are not meant for adults, we are to stand up

6) That you have to be really nice to the librarian to use said computer (might be I have on a school t-shirt) and then they might let you back on, but she won't do it again:#(

7) I want my computer back!!!

I learnt that it is best to keep your mouth shut at work about work.

I learnt that people you think you know and can trust aren't always the right people to trust and in fact you don't know them at all.

i learnt that people look out for you in unexpected places.

feeling betrayed is not good. THe universe is constantly teaching me lessons but i sure DO NOT like this one.
