Usually I have a pretty specific idea for each post but today my interests are pretty random. Consider yourself warned,
Do you google?
I do. I used to think up a lot of questions that would go unanswered because by the time I found a resource I forgot the question.. & I would meet people who were incredible good at remembering their questions for later, and sharing what they learned... I would think "I just don't have questions I guess..."
I was wrong. Now I have a hand held computer, an iPod touch, with access to a world of knowledge. The moment I wonder about something I think "I should google that..." One thing leads to another and 1 hour later I go "Wow, now I know..."
For example: I recently made a lump sum deposit that was too large for the commode to accept. I thought "Should I be worried? Seems abnormal..." Didn't call my doctor though... Google images search "Huge poop"
Some of you are gagging and saying "Seriously? That's disgusting, I can't believe you would post that." Let's be honest. You have probably googled some gross stuff before, some of you are probably googling huge poop right now, just so you know what I found... Not so abnormal after all to have a large crap once in a lifetime...
Along more serious lines I then became curious... My mom says bananas get her backed up (Sorry to embarrass you publicly, Madre) but it seems like they get me going... Turns out, both can be true... Bananas are high in fiber and should be had with lots of fluid.
Did you know chickens can lay eggs up to 7 years or longer?
Certain bugs will protect your fruit trees from bad bugs or diseases.
Other plants will keep ants out of your garden.
USDA organic DOES allow use of some pesticides.
Bt may not kill you, that doesn't mean it's good for you. Kind of like smoking, slow suicide.
Coffee enigma? Weird.
Also, the word "weird" is, in itself, strange, because it doesn't follow the rule "I before E except after C."
Apparently there are a lot of other words that don't follow that rule but I may just let you google that yourself.
Reading scriptures... What does anon mean? Google knows.
Reading Farworld, Mr Z character uses big word. What does that mean? Google knows.
Someone else will bring up a question I don't know the answer to, and I will say "Let's google it." Conversation takes on new levels...
You know how people say "don't think of a white elephant" and that image pops in your head for a split second before you tell yourself to think of something else? Yup, that what happens. I google the first thing in my brain, which leads to another question and another...
How much of this information do I actually maintain in my head? I doubt google knows...but I will check in a minute, they probably have some statistical study about how long people remember what they google...
What was I posting about?
Oh yeah, shopping google for a kiddie pool for the boys to enjoy this summer maybe... Walmart still sells those cheap plastic ones, which is probably what I should settle for but I really hate that they can crack pretty easy... That's why they are so cheap. Those ones with the soft sides are easy to empty, that's usually exactly what j wants to do too, let the water out... Inflatable? No, J think "ballon" and then wants it to go "POP!"
Nate says "Pretty much you need something indestructible, like made from cast iron..." "I need a horse trough" Google that...
Is it legal to put a child in the front seat if there is no airbag? Interesting conversation threads on google actually did not answer that question for me, I had to call the policeman I know from church. Answer: Yes, as long as the kid is still in the proper safety seat ( i.e. booster or other restraint) you will not get ticketed, but the back seat is still safer, even for adult passengers. Supposedly, THE safest place in the car is actually the most uncomfortable. The hump in the middle of the backseat with the annoying shoulder strap seat belt the always locks up.
Also, according to a google image search, a map if the U.S. shows the safest place to live to avoid natural disasters is in southern Utah. Now I know where to plan my dream ranch... Fences that have a lifetime warrantee DO exist. How many acres of hay would I need for my horses? How many chickens would i need to make a living off the eggs? Do people still pay to go on retreats? How many cabins could I put on one well?
All we take with us from this life is the knowledge we have gained, so it isn't a complete waste of time, right?
