They say we learn something new every day. I believe this is true if we are paying attention. So, what did you learn today?


I learnt that the meteor that hit the earth 65.5 million years ago, causing the mass extintion that lead to the death of the dinosaurs and many other types of flora and fauna, was named Chicxulub.


Your turn to share something you learnt!

It is hard to admit to yourself that you were wrong. And also when you realize you have really hurt the ones you love...it tears your heart apart.

I learned to not take health for granted.  It is something you don't appreciate until you do.


"What you do for yourself - any gesture of kindness, any gesture of gentleness, any gesture of honesty and clear seeing toward yourself - will affect how you experience your world. In fact, it will transform how you experience the world. What you do for yourself, you're doing for others, and what you do for others, you're doing for yourself."

This is funny, but today I learned that you should replace your tennis shoes every 6 months to a year. Nike has a recycling plant for tennis shoes; they break the shoes down and turn them into materials used to construct running tracks, basketball courts and tennis courts!  I think that's so cool --

I learned that Costa Ricans drink beer with lemon and salt, and there is one brewery in Costa Rica, and NO ONE drinks American Beer there, except maybe Corona.


I also learned that when I took the "Strengths Finder 2.0" Test, I am someone who needs new info all the time, I come up with lots of ideas, and put them into play, as well as being an organizer, but also very adaptable.

Learned something else on this wonderful Friday:


Just when you think you've got it all handled, things will happen to make you humble again.

Honey, peanut butter,  and cinnamon as a dip for apples is a great (and healthy) treat!

I've learned that stupidity, bigotry and other unpleasant aspects of humanity are incredibly contagious.  Love, pleasantness and acceptance are much harder to spread, but well worth trying!

I learned that Nutro dog food that has been my brand for years has a sensitive skin formula.  Tasha keeps getting allergies so we have to try new food now.  I was glad I could stay with my favorite brand.

Learned that the theoretical supercontinent containing all of the land mass of the Earth (before it broke up and we had continental drift) is called Pangaea, meaning all-earth.  Also learned that the breaking up of this land mass occurred during the Jurassic period.

I learnt that rose tea smells really good! 


I learnt that one can use strontium isotopes to track the migration of ancient humans back in the prehistory. 


(AJane, I had forgotten that it was in the Jurassic! Thanks for the mental prodding!)

I learned from one of the other posts what some of your user names meant.


"What you do for yourself - any gesture of kindness, any gesture of gentleness, any gesture of honesty and clear seeing toward yourself - will affect how you experience your world. In fact, it will transform how you experience the world. What you do for yourself, you're doing for others, and what you do for others, you're doing for yourself."

Instead of looking around at others and distrusting ourselves, we should trust what we know within ourselves.

I learned - or realized, maybe - today that a girl I have been getting close to over the past few months has legitimately reached the level in my life where she counts as a true best friend. Those kinds of people are rare.

Today I learned that I have more skills than I thought I did! Things I have been doing as second nature for years, they are skills! Honest, experienced, marketable skills!

An anesthetist recomm;ended capsaicin rub for my chronic shoulder pain - just don't use it right after a hot shower when your pores are wide open - it can sting!

I used to go to a healthfood shop in Austin, Texas that sold sandwiches made with brown bread, natural peanut butter, bananas, natural honey and bean sprouts.  Yum, yum!!

You know, margarine is made of everything not related to butter and isn't nearly as sweet and delicous, but it spreads well.  Butter, pure and sweet, needs warmth to melt before it spreads.  I guess it's the same thing!

I learned again that the world is a smaller place than it used to be, and that we can reach out to one another with love no matter how many miles or hours separate us.

This is so true!  I never really thought of it like this.  I learned something new from seabrownthree.
