Yay! I actually am now in the DOUBLE DIGITS with my weekly series of Stuff you don’t want to MISC. That’s pretty big for me because I’m real good at starting things (and honestly meaning to continue them) but things just don’t always stay in my mind. Like exercising, or weekly series, or paying bills. Breathing, I’m good at. So I feel like this is a pretty good accomplishment for me.
Star Wars Cantina
My brother-in-law sent this to me from his paper’s blogs, and I had heard the song before, but this little montage is great.
Favorite line: “His name was Yoda – he was a muppet…” Brilliant!
Have to summarize the LOLcats
I just can’t get enough LOLcats on ICHC. Here are my faves for the week.
Tips for multiplying large numbers on paper
This guy has a GREAT little system for dealing with large numbers when you need to multiply them. I wish I would have learned it as a youth. Today’s kids really have it easy. Put a comment in with your tips and tricks with math.
Grandma’s Birth Control Pills
This doctor had been seeing an 80 year old woman for most of her life. He finally retired. At her next checkup, the new doctor told her to bring a list of all her medications that had been prescribed for her. As the young doctor was looking through these, his eyes grew wide as he realized she had a prescription for birth control pills. “Mrs. Smith, do you realize these are BIRTH CONTROL pills?”
“Yes, they help me sleep at night.” “Mrs. Smith, I assure you there is absolutely NOTHING in these that could possibly help you sleep.” She reached out and patted the young doctor’s knee.
“Yes, dear, I know that. But every morning, I grind one up and mix it in the glass of orange juice that my 16 year old granddaughter drinks………………..and believe me, it helps me sleep at night.”
