Ok...so this time I actually have a question. Why is it that jeans are called " pairs " when they are, in actuality, one article of clothing?? According to The Mavens' Word of the Day, pants in the plural form is an Americanism first recorded in 1840. The word is short for pantaloons, a term that originated with a character in Italian commedia dell'arte who wore both stockings and breeches. World Wide Words states that these types of clothing (pants, underwear, shorts, tights -- or the equivalent terms for them) were made in two parts. One part for each leg, then belted in the middle, somewhat like chaps on cowboys. Over time, they ended up as one piece of clothing, but the habit of referring to the old "pair" persisted. Now for a question for you.......Why can't women put on mascara with their mouth closed? |

I'll just post it anyway.
That way, anyone who wants to give it a try can read it. OK. First thing you have to do is lie flat on your back, arms at your sides. Take a few deep breaths and close your eyes. Clear your mind as much as you possibly can. Imagine a line of green lights. Under the green lights are a set of red lights. Under each red light is a switch. It can be anything from a regular lightswitch to a big ole breaker. Each green light is going to represent a body part that is " on ". Feet, shins, thighs, fingers....etc. What you need to do is turn tose body parts " off ". The very last two lights are going to be for your ears and your mind. One by one, start turning those switches to the off position so that the red lights come on. As you do this, if one comes back on, just go back to it and shut it off again. If you are relaxed, you'll be able to actually feel it working. The last thing you do is turn your mind " off ". It takes a little practice to get it right. But once you do, it RARELY fails when you can't sleep. |
