I have a book…The Book of Questions by Gregory Stock. I love it. I have spent entire evenings answering questions from this book with friends. Great conversation starters! 😉

It sometimes amazes me how well I can remember certain things for other people, but when it comes to something for me, I can’t remember shit.

What is it in the preparation of pickles that makes for a crispy pickle versus a soggy, limp pickle? Seriously, I want to know. I have eaten many pickles in my day, but only a handful of them have been that super crisp, crunchy kind. I wanna know what most pickle makers are doing wrong.

I can’t help but think that random thoughts aren’t truly random. I mean, your subconscious mind is basically working 24/7 right? So why is it that when we aren’t aware of the thought process, we attribute it to randomness instead of congratulating our subconscious on some pretty spectacular mental gymnastics?

Fun Fact!!
It is never acceptable to harass, nitpick or otherwise inordinately bother someone else because you are projecting your behavioral norms to them.
For example, if you are non-responsive, inattentive, and unreliable when it comes to doing important things for other people, do not assume that another person is the same way. Do not attempt to try to micromanage or otherwise manipulate them because you are projecting your own fucking ineptitude and insecurities on to them. And absolutely do not do this if you’re going to continue your status quo behavior in the situation that you’re trying to control someone else’s behavior in. Control yourself first.
Grow the fuck up and realize that not everyone is as inconsiderate and self-absorbed as you are.

Sometimes I do wonder if I am actually human. What if I’m like that little alien dude from Men In Black, just controlling what appears to be a human body?

It’s so funny…. When I was younger, I hated being alone. Now, I treasure my solitude, and get cranky and anxious if it is limited by circumstance.

I’m not sure when patience stopped being a common thing, but I get super irritated when people lack patience, especially in certain situations. I mean, seriously, if it’s a matter of waiting an extra 10 seconds for something? Take a sip of coffee. 10 minutes? Run to the bathroom or check your phone. It’s generally not really that urgent. In most cases, it’s not at all the life or death scenario that some people make it out to be.
Now, I’m not saying not to get a bit testy if you’ve been waiting for an hour and then get told you have to wait longer. Or if the wait time is completely out of line for what you’re waiting for. That’s different. I’m talking first level lack of patience when something isn’t immediate. (I will say, however, that your feeling impatient or somehow slighted because you’ve had to wait is never an acceptable reason to be rude.)
I understand that we now live in a fast paced, highly digital world where things are often done/achieved/obtained faster than they ever have been, and at times, that can be wonderful. But, I’m also going to say that perhaps the quality of what we are getting oh so expeditiously is not nearly what it would be if we simply had some patience.
Something to think about.

Have I failed at life because I never had kids and did not do my part to propagate the species?
