Sometimes the small things we experience in the week teach us something.

What did you learn this week?
(silly or serious)

I learned that the wind that blows off of Lake Geneva in Switzerland can freeze your nose long enough, that the moment you walk into a warm restaurant you have an instant water fall of snot!!

(not a pretty picture, but something I found out this week when I was in Geneva!)

I learned that if someone is distressed, no matter how much I understand their distress, if they don't KNOW that I understand, they feel alone.

Second thing learned this week.

Treat a wake-up call from the front desk of the hotel, as a back-up....not the primary way to wake up in the morning!!

(In case they forget to call your room on time! Which they did!!)

1) One of the best ways to spend you time while off work I'll is this!!!!

man going back to work will be hard next week!!

2) A lot of low fat meals are just smaller portion sizes

3) A Kiwi fruit uses more than it's own weight in aviation fuel to get from NZ to the UK

4) Mariusz Pudzianowski (Worlds Strongest Man) is a Green Belt in Kyokushin; Quote from HIS web site 'he is an exponent of Kyokushin karate (fourth kyu), which he has been practicing since the age of 11'.

Only always

Do you do the opening and closing your hands thing so that you're foreams are knackered too?

I learned to never, ever forget to keep my hands up. x_x

I learned that driving a slim wheel moped with sand on the road is quite slippery.

...oh and falling off a bike onto concrete hurts.

helenosch · 12-01-2007, 05:53 PM

I learned that it's not the young that are the most quarrelsome but the old ones with a high paycheck...
in addition to that, that I really, really start to hate everything that goes along with soccer...

I learnt this week that in England you are not allowed to buy christmas crackers (that you pull on the dinner table full of goodies and a silly hat) if you are under 18 years of age! Against the government firearm laws!!! Pathetic they think we might make a bomb from it?

Just too funny not to be true! You should have bought a pack and then charged the old girl double outside the shop!

And then round to the park 'Here kids wants some crack-ers'

Back to what we learned--

When a gold fish is lying on it's side on the top of the water it is constapated - normally form over feeding - IT'S NOT DEAD. When the die they turn upside down!!

Come on, you can all admit it you've flushed a live fish down the loo right?

My back muscles taught me: to never lift a solar battery by myself, even if its in my way.

I've learned this week that eventhough you might get the same benefits as a winner but you have not won, It still won't feel like a victory.
Osu!

**DKKC** · 12-02-2007, 02:26 PM

I've learned that my cat has a life of it's own and it trying to trick us into thinking he's not well. When we're out of the house he's full of beans!!!!!
