Do people think this is impressive (does it come up)? I kind of feel the opposite - it IS impressive, but people don't care, not that I talk about it.

Do you think that people are impressed by MBAs? I have one, so I am biased, but I don't get the impression. Although I went in Europe, to a name that is not as recognized here.

I love this! I hope my kids have such grit.

I also joined a few clubs in college not knowing a soul and I was really proud of that.

I can talk backwards. It is hard for most people to do, but useless. I must be a bit autistic; I used to practice this in my head all the time. I see each word, as an image, in my mind, and I read it backward. I developed rules of syntax and pronunciation back when I was a weirdo teenager doing this compulsively.

I cannot for the life of me fold a fitted sheet. That has vexed me my entirely life. Considering throwing them all out and going with two flat sheets.


This cd work but you need a larger size sheet than your usual for the one that goes on the mattress (ask me how I know)
