    I learned today, not to drink too much on a holiday. If you a had any idea as to how many times I had to retype this, you'd know what I am talking about. Shameful.

    I learned that if an earthquake is strong enough (over 7, I think) to throw someone in the air, it's because it's strength exceeds the strength of gravity.

    What i learned yesterday. I learned that there is a person with the same first and last name as me. To make a long story longer.:rolleyes:. Over the last couple of years, i've received messages from an older lady on messenger, i don't recall excepting a request. Her messages were always conversations as if she knew me, i never responded. Yesterday, was another message, asking if i was this person, referring to my first and last name, and this time, she included a maiden name, which was not my maiden name. This time i replied, and told her i was not that person. Mystery solved.....Can you imagine another me in this world. :p:p:p:p:p.

    I learned that my air fryer has a "dehydrator" function and I can make dehydrated fruit or jerky. Who knew?? (Not that I ever will. :p)

    Oh, and I learned a new word today... "brassicas." It means cruciferous vegetables such as broccoli, cabbage, etc. o_O

    What I learned to day is what 'brassicas' is which lead to 'genus' (in philosophical and general use) a class of things that have common characteristics and that can be divided into subordinate kinds.

    Thanks @Beth Gallagher I also expanded my vocabulary a tab bit. :rolleyes:

    @Micki Pembroke That is really unique!! It's not as though your name is Sara Smith or any other names which are common.

    how do you know that Micki's real name is Micki Pembroke?

    I mean my real name isn't Holly Saunders... I'm sure most people wouldn't put their real name on here ( aside from @Ken Anderson )..at least I hope not!! :D

    @Holly Saunders My real name isn't Micki Pembroke......In my post # 484, my real 1st and last name is what is a duplicate, this lady was looking for the person with the same as mine, but my maiden name did not match, and a different country, so she's still on the hunt.

    What I learned today is to make sure when upgrading any electronics that it's compatible with what you are not upgrading. Story upcoming. o_O
