Things I've learned lately...

[conuly]

1. The more I work on memorizing things, the better my memory becomes. I mean, it used to take me several repetitions to learn a song, and then I'd lose it as soon as I heard a different song. I'd have to alternate songs for a while until I could keep the new ones in my head. And now it's not only faster, but I can remember songs even after hearing other things in between.

(Duh, right? Of course exercising my memory makes it stronger!)

2. Toddlers love it when you're wrong. To them, this is just the funniest joke ever. "No Connie! Cow goes mooooo. *giggle*"

3. When I was a kid, I was an ungrateful brat in many respects. No, that's not sardonic mimicking of somebody's complaints, it's a conclusion I came to all on my own after honestly reflecting on childhood gift-giving ceremonies.

4. Times Square is of the devil.

5. Stress can cause hives. Who knew?

All small children are ungrateful brats. Just like all teenagers are self-absorbed, sexually frustrated emo kids. And all adults refuse to admit they were ever ungrateful brats or self-absorbed, sexually frustrated emo kids and insist they were perfect angels from conception.

*raises an itchy red pockled arm...and points to a few places on my wrists, hands, and fingers that tend to be affected on occasion*
Yup yup.... It's always a sign for me that a particular amount and type of stress (among other things a situation may be harboring) isn't good for my health.

(...and it always dumbfounds me how little the people in my life take it as a sign, y'know?)

The skin on my arms ulcerates. I don't think I've ever gotten hives, but when I'm under a lot of stress, I develop small holes in my forearms and shoulders. It's terribly unpleasant.

They do say you can train your memory. Unfortunately you can't teach an old memory new tricks.

Actually, stress doesn't cause hives per se, but it sure can bring on an attack of them if you get hives. If you have any questions about hives, ask woofiegrrl. She has chronic urticaria with angioedema (http://dermnetnz.org/reactions/urticaria.html) and has, unfortunately, become an expert on the subject.
