Do you write yourself reminder notes and where do you put them to remember the reminder note?

Why "righty tighty" and "lefty loosey" instead of the other way around...

couldn't things have been manufactured the other way?


Actually....they have manufactured " left handed " bolts. They are mainly used on parts where the spin of the part would cause a regular bolt to loosen itself.

Having a bolt that tightens the opposite way uses the part's centrifugal force to keep the bolt tightened down. :-)

...and speaking of left and right...

since we are past the days of maids and valets, why do men's and women's clothing have plackets on opposite sides when buttoning? Does clothing ever evolve?


That one is beyond me. I may have to call Daydreamer for assistance...lol

One more...

My friend is left handed and when she says "turn right" she is generally gesturing with her left hand and "right" means PRIMARY to her.

My question...is it weird that I can follow her directions even without looking to see which way she is pointing??? (Or is that just a sign of a good friend?)


That is the sign of a good friend whom you are able to communicate with.

Hey JAG...what was the funniest part of your day today?


Probably walking into the office at work and hearing the boss try to get on my good side before he gave me something to do that I really didn't WANT to do....lol

Why do bisquits from the tube always end up fluffier and lighter than those made from scratch...additives or am I just bad at making bisquits?


They get to cheat because the stuff has to stay in a tube.

Why are some fabrics more static prone than others?


Because some of the stuff people wear is just....shocking.:tongue:

How many times should one person in a relationship call the other before they just hunker down and wait for a return call?


Less than 27 times in an hour.

Other than that....no clue. lol

The North Star isn't the closest star. It's just bigger and brighter than a lot of others.

Why are super clear nights most common in the fall and winter?


I think it has something to do with a lack of moisture in the air.

The lower moisture levels lead to fewer clouds and less water vapor to block out the light from the stars.

Not sure.

I'll have to ask the ladies at the bank I go to.

By the time the mail gets to the readers, it's already been stamped at the location it was dropped off.

The readers are reading the stamping...not the writing.
