tiny pockets

So I guess I just want people to stop folding things so they fit in that tiny pocket in their jeans. It’s not meant for pills, or vitamins, or condoms, or money, or receipts. It’s not really a secret pocket, so don’t put secret things there either. The only thing it’s really good for these days is losing things. Anything you stick in there will be forgotten about until the wash…

That pocket was for your pocket watch! So, don’t try to re-purpose it please and thank you.

sidenote: contrary to popular belief, it also isn’t for that silly little comb you were forced into using on elementary picture day. that comb goes in your back pocket, sticking out just a touch so everyone knows how awesome you are.

why am i chewing ice like it’s melting?

So, you didn’t even notice, but everyone around you thinks you’re going to have a nervous breakdown because you’ve already chomped an entire glass of ice before any could melt. Your they might try to tell you that you’ve got an oral fixation, or that you have a craving of some sort.

The truth is, you probably have an iron deficiency. If you’re a woman, this is virtually a guarantee. By now you probably know how to get iron, and you may think you eat enough iron rich foods. What you haven’t figured out yet is that vitamin C is probably your real issue. Most diets, including vegetarian, include all the iron any adult human really needs, but sometimes not enough vitamin C. Increase your C a bit, and I bet you stop chomping uncontrollably.

flush your cds?

Here’s a good one for you. I was recently asked if I thought it was a good idea to flush CDs in the toilet to clean them. I think it sounds like a great idea, if you think your toilet is cleaner than the CD you are about to flush; but I also think running them under the faucet is going to have the same effect. The important part here is how badly you’ve always wanted to flush something down the toilet… Just remember that however you chose to rinse them, always rub in straight lines from the center out, never in circles.
