Have You Ever Wondered?

Do You Laugh When You Wonder?

My mom is always asking questions on random things in life. She is always wondering.

So I thought I would add her wondering question to our website. After all, our natural curiosity and wonder often can lead to those little moments in life that help you laugh.

So with that, let’s share her first one!

I Wonder: Rabbits & Lettuce

My name is Faye, and I’m one of those people who is curious about almost everything. So most of the time I have to find the answer to my questions. I’ve been thinking it may be easier if I reached out to others for help in finding the answers.

Everything I wonder about doesn’t necessarily mean it’s important, but to me it is, if only because I want to know. I’ll give you an example:

I live in the dessert and we have rabbits in our yard, (odd rabbits in a desert, but that’s a question for another time). I have been giving the rabbits any bits and pieces I cut off of vegetables when I am cooking… like celery, carrots, etc. One day I was making a salad, saving the scraps when it hit me….. All our lives we have been told that lettuce has absolutely no nutritional value. So I started thinking why do rabbits eat and thrive on lettuce?

So everyone, what is the answer? Any ideas? Please let me know and anyone else who might read this that now wonders too.

If I find the answer first I will write about it. Till next time…

Aloha
~~~till we laugh again~~~

Sneezing After You Eat – Do You Do It?

You Know You are Full When the Sneezing Begins

When I wrote Do You Sneeze for Odd Reasons, I mentioned how I would sneeze after I ate ice cream. Now I sneeze after I eat period.

I’ve sneezed after eating ice cream for quite sometime, then a few years ago I started to sneeze half way into my meal. Not just once mind you, but 5,6,7 times. LOL

Some foods bring it on earlier than others. I read somewhere it was some gene that mutates that normally triggers your sneezing when something gets in your nose and somehow it triggers with your stomach too.

Odd.

The fun part is when I’m at work and grab lunch at my desk. People go, “Tammy must be eating”. Then they laugh.

The hard part is when folks start the “bless you”. Did you know that most folks get irritated saying bless you around the 3 or 4th time? 🙂

I always let them off the hook on the 2nd one saying that one will be good for all of them.

I still don’t know what causes them and I don’t know if they will ever go away. Most of the time it doesn’t bother me. Unless of course I also drank a big glass of water and you can imagine what that and 7 sneezes might cause. (I know what you are thinking, no, I haven’t peed my pants…LOL)

So, do you sneeze when you eat?

You aren’t alone. My post from back then has a lot of folks stopping by to say they are glad they aren’t the only ones. Nope, You are in a special club of not normal sneezers. I wonder if we should have a special badge of honor?

I’d welcome you all!!

Are you an In-e or an Out-e?

No, not your belly button silly.

Although, that would have probably made a funnier post.

No, I’m talking about ~~ Are you an introvert or an extrovert?

Basically introverts get their “energy” by being alone and recharging themselves. Extroverts get their “energy” from others. They get joy and excitement out of being around others.

If given a chance, introverts would prefer to be alone doing what they love (can be anything, reading, TV, computer, gardening, doesn’t matter). While extroverts would prefer to P A R T ~ aaaaa. They love to be around others and the thought of being alone drives them batty.

If there is a party going on, the extroverts love to be the first ones there and the last to leave. Introverts are thinking of every reason to get out of the sill thing. “Cough, cough, I think I feel a cold coming on.”

Extroverts see a crowd of people and start to salivate at the thought of joining them. Introverts hyperventilate at the thought of having to join them.

I am an introvert. However, I will get folks to disagree when I tell them. Why? Shouldn’t it be obvious?

I wish it was. Turns out there are a lot more folks like me. We have learned to succeed in the work place by giving speeches, teaching people, or even getting involved in a conversation or two.

What you don’t see is our internal dialog shouting for us to RUN!

Sure we can have fun, but in our head we are already looking forward to getting home and turning off all the noise around us.

So, are you an In -e or an Out-e?
