Things I have learned......

[IADad]

Share with us one of the things you've learned recently that might be useful to others.

I learned that you can rather cheaply and easily replace the display in a laptop. $50 and 6 simple screws to remove and replace and I looked like a god in my child's eyes.

What have you learned?

That my electricity company halves the bill if you use less than the "average useage for a household of your size"

If thats not incentive to use less electricity, I dont know what is.

I have learned that I am to old for puppies that have a 4 am wake up call. So last night I was mean and put them in their play pen outside so I wouldn't have to hear them......I felt awful a little while later.

I have learned that the key to finding anything that you've lost or hidden, is having a toddler.

I have learned that I should do a better job remembering what I have agreed to while in a sleep deprived state.

And that a 11 year old knows how to exploit me in said state.

YES! I had to make a rule that my kids could only ask me questions during daylight hours and I have to have been awake for at least an hour. They were asking my things when I was half asleep and then I would have no memory of it!

I have learned that you should live every day as if it was your last, and that life will eventually fall into place. I learned this recently as a good job has come my way, and there may be a posibility of getting a promotion to sales manager if I prove myself.

I learned that Argentium sterling silver is different than typical sterling silver. It still has 92.5% pure silver, but it has less copper in in and it tarnishes more slowly and looks brighter. Not sure how that is going to benefit anyone but I thought it was interesting.

I also learned that being a salesperson doesn't mean you are forcing something on someone. I'm very relieved to find this out since I now am on the floor a lot in the store. I don't even have to be outgoing...just have to know what I am talking about and be nice and pleasant with people.

I have recently learned that in times of need, its okay to be dependent of someone. And if that someone you are being dependent on loves you, they would do anything for you and not complain - but rather make fun of you to make the whole situation lighter.

Dogs will eat ANYTHING... and then lick you in the face when your not prepared to move fast..........:yikes:

 

[Father_0f_7]

I have learned that a 41 year old man should NOT try and keep up with two 11 year olds at Disney World....Just no.

I have learned that Chucky E Cheese does not sell beer because it can. But rather because it has to.

I learned that the way to express the diameter of timber you're looking to sell is expressed by a term called "DBH" or Diameter at Breast Height.

Today I finally learnt how to waterproof wood by scorching it, normally I just end up setting it on fire.

 

[Mom2all]

I learned from my Grandma yesterday there is a wealth of un-tapped knowledge in older people. And really.. and even when we don't agree...we should all just sit and listen.

I have to admit, this made me giggle.

Today I learned that avocado halves keep better in foil than in cling wrap.

I've learned that my kids have a lot to teach me, it's not just me teaching them...
Like how much patience I have.

Really, they live in the moment & enjoy it for all it's worth!
They laugh when they feel like laughing.
They cry when they feel like crying.
They love when they feel like loving.
