Things I've Wondered About

My recent forced inactivity gave me some time to ponder life's greatest mysteries:

* Why do movies & television always portray humans of the future in jumpsuits? What exactly is it about "onesies" that we feel is the pinnacle of human achievement?

* Are nurses really unaware of how insane it is to wake someone up to ask if they are sleeping, or do nurses do it just to be perverse?

* Exactly what is the point of "Twitter" and why is the active verb of it to "tweet?" From what I've seen, to "twit" is perhaps a bit more appropriate.

* Why does grass die so easily in the lawn and yet can't be killed in the garden beds?

* Did ancient humans present each other with dead animal gifts as a sign of affection like our cats do, and were the recipients more gracious than I am?

* With all the people who have sworn up & down that they never voted for George W. Bush as president, how did he ever get elected? And reelected?

* Why is it that the more repulsive a food sounds, the more likely it is to be served in really expensive restaurants?

* How did humans figure out which mushrooms were safe & which were poisonous? Did they just take along easy-going friends who weren't overly bright as testers?

* Why do I feel like I'm actually knitting faster if I buy more yarn?

* Why couldn't the euphoria of finally being able to vacuum have lasted until I vacuumed the ENTIRE upstairs?

I was just thinking about those futuristic jumpsuits the other day! But wouldn't muumuus be more comfy? For both men and women?

Toni, hi it's Melissa from DRS...I cannot find your phone number anywhere! Randy, Tom and Joe are out of pocket so I cannot obtain it from them and could have sworn we had it on file somewhere here at the office...anyway I have a question for you...would you be so kind as to call me? It is crazy that I can find out what a person has been eating for the last year but not find their phone number,,,WOW! 378-0200 ext 704 or 208-870-8524 cell thanks so much, have a great weekend! Oh, and I would choose jumpsuits over muu muus, less airy and having to sit with my legs crossed all the time would kill me :-)
