In keeping with tradition (for a change), here’s this week’s installment of “What I Learned This Week”:

#1… An optical mouse won’t work on a glass tabletop (not even if you tape a colored piece of paper to the underside of the tabletop to “trick” the mouse into thinking there’s a bottom!)

#2… We’re going to Arizona! …for Spring Training Baseball …in March

#3… Blogs can become inundated with Comment and Trackback SPAM!

#4… The folks at IX Webhosting are GREAT! (Had some server issues, and they bent over backwards to help us… like usual.)

#5… The way you know that the highway patrol is busting HOV-lane violaters is that the next-to-fastest lane (next to the HOV lane) comes to a complete STOP several times during rush hour traffic, while the other lanes are still poking along at a slow pace… and, it’s MILES before you actually see a police car. This is because all of the HOV violators are trying to cut back into the “legal” lane at the last minute — as soon as they spot the cop car — causing the rest of us to slam on our breaks quite often!

#6… More strangers than friends OR relatives actually view this site on a regular basis. …Who knew?!

#7… It’s amazing how bent out of shape your husband can get just by setting his alarm clock 15 minutes earlier in the morning — depriving him of that valuable 3RD SNOOZE!

#8… Carrot Top is funnier than most people give him credit for. (And for those of you who are wondering, he’s got a girlfriend.)

#9… Scented candles will not cover the smell of doggie diarrhea.

#10… Why is it that the read-out on a doctor‘s scale is ALWAYS higher than the read-out on your home scale???

#11… For the past year, I’ve had this great poster-sized calendar hanging on the wall by my desk at work (got it for free). Everyone who sees it asks where I got it. Now… it’s expired. But a co-worker likes it so much (and the fact that I gave him one just like it last year) that he CALLED THE COMPANY to see if he could get a couple of their 2005 wall calendars! (The only reason this is funny is the fact that it’s the company Jim used to work for.)
