Things We Learned To-day*…

not ice cream1. If it’s called “Dairy Dessert” it sure isn’t ice cream. Not by a long shot. Yeah, it’s cold and sweet (TOO sweet), but that’s about it. AVOID it at all costs (especially if it costs $2.49 for so much. You DO get what you pay for, folks. Yuck).

Eh, I just need to clear out some memory, as my poor brain is a bit clogged with stuff and sometimes backs up at the worst times. It’s kind of like a NOW LOADING screen in a game where it takes a minute or so to get to a new area or trying to watch a YouTube video on a dial-up connection and having to wait while some buffering is going on. Hmmm… perhaps someone has hacked into my poor packed cranium and is reading my jumbled thoughts so they can help organize them into neat little boxes? That would be nice I think.
