Learning new things....

***this thread inspired by a Home Depot woman somewhere in the USA who did not know what Pilates was

Yeah, probably the same Home Depot gal who made me a key "Yeah! I can make you a spare house key! "

And I get a call from my dog sitter while I'm waiting in line to board the plane "hi I'm at your home, the key won't work, won't turn and won't come OUT of the lock "

Yeah, that Home Depot.

I've learned to check your spare key before you give them to someone.

When I was in 6th grade I learned that Warshington didn't really have an R in it.

I'm always clueless when it comes to popular culture. I plead total ignorance when people talk about movies, singers, celebrities. And I don't really know what Pilates are either (some kind of exercise, right?). Is it pronounces like "pilot" or something else?

I was writing a report the other night and had to look up the word "forward". As in please forward this report. It just wasn't there. Is there an R somewhere? A true blond moment.

Soft i in Pilates. It's named for its founder, Joe Pilates.

Why didn't they call it "Joe"?

Because "I'm going to do pilates" sounds a LOT better than "I'm going to do Joe."

Thankfully I was not still drinking my soda when I read Oxy's post. I just finally got why people use deer blinds the other day. DH does hunt but prefers the "stalking" method as it is more exercise. Plus he only hunts on his Oma's ranch which is a lovely 1,500+ acres and a nice stroll.

I really thought deer blinds were for laziness not to be "blind" to the deer. I mean truly I thought the purpose was a place to plant your butt and nothing more. Even though I have been corrected I still think I am right.

Proud MOB taught me what an Epee was, I feel so worldly this morning.

Trek- Those key machines are actually terrible. Not necessarily user error, it was one of the most returned items at Lowe's.

I learned

King
Phillip
Curses
Our
Funky
Green
Salad

from watching the Cosby show and i was prompted to learn what a Venn diagram is by watching Jon Stewart.

for those of you wondering about the funky green salad-
kingdom, phylum, class,order,family, genus, species

Right now I'm trying to fully understand cognitive dissonance. I must have heard that somewhere on TV too

I dunno. Joe might disagree.
