Random thoughts...

If dandelions were hard to grow, people would love them. You'd hear gardeners saying stuff like "I had a nice flat of dandelions coming up, and then a bunch of damned orchids came in and choked them out! Orchids,,, I hate those ugly things."

My wife is a clinical counselor. She has a BA in psych and an MA in mental health counseling.

Many years ago when she was working on the bach, I was in engineering at a medium sized business. We had a marketing/order entry department of probably 20 people. One of D's projects for a psych course was to develop a survey, present it to a group, and then tabulate the results and do some of that psych stuff with it. So she wrote a simple little survey.

1 - M or F?
2 - Children?
3 - Name the 7 dwarfs

Her theory was that women with kids would be the most likely to name all 7 'cause they may have recently watched the movie with their kids. Dads next, and so on. We figured the single guys would just snicker "dwarfs" and go search for midget porn on the internet. Anywho,,,

We printed up these surveys and I passed them all around. I gave the admin assist in marketing a stack and asked her to pass them out if she had time - which she did. I came back later that afternoon to pick them up, and AA said "We worked together and got them all!", and handed me a stack of papers,,, each neatly filled out with the names of all 7 dwarfs. She could not imagine why I was exasperated,,,

So what Wii/Wii Fit/Wii Fit + game should I play to work out?

I like the boxing and the step aerobics.

Am I showing how really dense I am by admitting that I totally don't get this? Why was it bad that they named them all?

I still swear sleazy is one of dwarves

You're absolutely correct. There were originally 9 dwarfs. Sleazy and trampy were banned for partying too much.

Why on earth would anybody walk inside a bank? The ATM is out front. Anything you can't do at an ATM or online you probably shouldn't be doing anyways...

I think there was a crazy too. Every family has one. I'm afraid I might be mine though......

Well I am the only crazy one in my family that has been clinically diagnosed. LOL but I am a fun kinda crazy not the blow you up kinda crazy

Because that's not data. We weren't trying to find out the names of the dwarfs,,, I can get that in 1 minute from any 5 year old.

The data we were looking for was - "who knows and who doesn't, and how does that correlate with parenting status? Are parents more likely to know? Men or women more likely to know?" When they all worked together on it and just wrote all the names then everybody got them all and we've got no data to analyse. Useless,,,

Ahhh... gotcha.

I am driving and the person in the lane next to me wants to come over to my lane -- which I can tell because their signal light is blinking. Why, then, do they insist on sticking their arm out of the window as if to tell me, "no, I really want to come over there and you need to let me in since my arm is hanging out of the window." Apologies if you do this (I have a friend who is an arm signaler), but that's one of the reasons why they invented the turn signal.

This one makes me crazy -- especially in LA where everyone is trying to cut over in front of everyone else.

Not quite sure if this is a pet peeve or a random thought.....but why does my yogurt have to squirt on me EVERY day?

I open mine towards my trash can

I am also fascinated by the pschology behind the sticks you put between orders at the grocery store and other places. Many times, I don't put the stick between my order and the person in front of me to see what they will do. I could leave 3 feet of empty belt between their food and mine, doesn't matter...

They will undoubtedly look at the empty space with a slightly panicked expression and -- 9 times of out 10 -- will put that stick between our purchases. Even when there is no doubt that our stuff is not together.

It's like a compulsion.

I could go on with random stuff for days...

hahaahahahahaha. SO true, it's hilarious.

Why when i pass someone on the interstate who is going significantly slower than me, always speed up?!?

random observation - even under ideal conditions people have trouble locating their car keys in a pocket, finding their cell phone, and pinning the tail on a donkey - but I bet everyone can find and push the snooze button from 3 feet away, in about 1.7 seconds, eyes closed, the first time - every time!

So true!
