Hodgepodge

I found this very cool photography/art site and had to share:
Hundreds of Tourist Photos Weaved Into One. Do scroll to the bottom of the page when you are done and click on some of the other art projects, many of the projects are G-rated and cool.

Truths For Mature Humans
(I tweaked the original one that went around via facebook, email forwards and blogs)

1. Ask yourself, is it true, is it kind, and/or is it necessary before you pass along any information.

2. Nothing sucks more than that moment during an argument when you realize you’re wrong.

3. I totally take back all those times I didn’t want to nap when I was younger.

4. There is great need for a sarcasm font.

5. How the heck are you supposed to fold a fitted sheet? (After years of trial and error, house-wifery, & some semi-OCD tendencies I have actually come to terms with that one, sort of.)

6. Was learning algebra really necessary?

7. Map Quest really needs to start their directions on # 5. I’m pretty sure I know how to get out of my neighborhood.

8. Obituaries would be a lot more interesting if they told you how the person died.

9. I can’t remember the last time I wasn’t at least kind of tired.

10. Bad decisions make good stories.

11. You never know when it will strike, but there comes a moment at work when you know that you just aren’t going to do anything productive for the rest of the day.

12. Can we all just agree to ignore whatever comes after Blue Ray? I don’t want to have to restart my collection…again.

13. I’m always slightly terrified when I exit out of Word and it asks me if I want to save any changes to my ten-page technical report that I swear I did not make any changes to.

14. “Do not machine wash or tumble dry” means I will never wash this – ever.

15. I hate when I just miss a call by the last ring (Hello? Hello?), but when I immediately call back, it rings nine times and goes to voice mail. What did you do after I didn’t answer? Drop the phone and run away?

16. I hate leaving my house confident and looking good and then not seeing anyone I know the entire day. What a waste. Conversely, when I leave the house in my sweaty, bleach marked housework/work-out sweats, on a quick, unplanned trip to the post office, or to grab one quick item from the store, I know I run into plenty of people I know.

17. I keep some people’s phone numbers in my phone just so I know not to answer when they call.

18. I think the freezer deserves a light as well.

19. I appreciate kindness now more than ever.

20. I wish Google Maps had an warning for bad neighborhoods and areas of town; and excessive and lengthy construction zones.

21. Sometimes, I’ll watch a movie that I watched when I was younger and suddenly realize I had no idea what the heck was going on when I first saw it. Same goes for songs.

22. There is no reason to make low-rise jeans for plus-sized people. I am plus-sized and I don't appreciate it, in fact I'm tired of seeing low rise on any body size.

23. Irregardless is not a real word, can we please agree to stop its usage?

24. I have a hard time deciphering the fine line between boredom and hunger.

25. How many times is it appropriate to say “What?” before you just nod and smile because you still didn’t hear or understand a word they said?

26. I love the sense of camaraderie when an entire line of cars team up to prevent a jerk from cutting in at the front. Stay strong, brothers and sisters!

27. Shirts get dirty. Underwear gets dirty. Pants? Pants never get dirty, and you can wear them forever.

28. Someone said, "Profanity is the effort of a feeble mind to express itself forcibly." Mark Twain said, "When angry, count to four. When very angry, swear." Can we all agree that cussing is so common it has lost its meaning, and then agree to do it infrequently so that it will actually be shocking again, or dare I even say appropriate in the rarest of situations?

29. There’s no worse feeling than that millisecond you’re sure you are going to die after leaning your chair back a little too far.

30. As a driver I'm annoyed by pedestrians, and as a pedestrian I'm annoyed by drivers, but no matter what the mode of transportation, I'm usually annoyed by (and fear) bicyclists.

31. Sometimes I’ll look down at my watch 3 consecutive times and still not know what time it is.

32. Even under ideal conditions people have trouble locating their car keys in a pocket, finding their cell phone, and Pinning the Tail on the Donkey – but I’d bet everyone can find and push the snooze button from 3 feet away, in about 1.7 seconds, eyes closed, first time, every time!


Would you add anything?
