I've learned a few Japanese words. "Wakaranai" means I dont know. "Kawaii" means adorable
Ugh. Kawaii is everywhere in Japan. Modern Japanese culture has replaced refined culture with cutesy.


In local news, I learned the Katinas are a great music group. Gotta go to amazon.com and find some more of their albums.

The list of what I have learned in the past month alone is to long to list but the more recent thing I learned is that even if you speak in wisdom if your family already sees you as an idiot then well....

I agree that life is complicated. It's ironic. Those who seem funny and can make people laugh with less effort like you are those who go through a lot of pain. Whatever it is, may God give you strength to endure it.
But sometimes we complicate needlessly so.

A prophet is not honored in home town.

That's the real me coming out. Not the sad, frustrated me. The real me likes to kid around and be sarcastic.

I learned mayo is only for when you can't have cream cheese. Cream cheese is better than mayo for... well... everything! Ham sandwich with cream cheese or ham sandwich with mayo? Hmm, think think...

Hope you don't apply what you learned. Its not very polite words.
Oh I see in the urban dictionary it means to disrespect. My kids tried to explain it to me. It was making a better joke back when someone else wants to annoy you. The oldest learned it in school. It works great the way he does it. His little brother was nagging him and then he used to get mad, also when he was just joking and he didn't understand the joke and then I could solve the fight, but now he stays swag and disses him with a stupid joke back. Awesome! They do that here in Holland always, make a sarcastic comment that isn't meant bad, just a joke, but if people don't understand that and take it serious it's hard to live here, so I'm glad he learned it now.

One does not make potato salad without mayo, nor does one make cole slaw dressing without mayo. As for the rest of life, cream cheese is better. :)

What did I learn today? That my lawn mower gets all choked up in humid heat, and doesn't like to operate. It was about 88 today. That's 32 in the civilized world. ;)

Cream cheese? I learned something new today. I thought you only put that on toast.
Mayo is great with fries and on cucumber. Fries with cream cheese? hmmm
mayo and peanut sauce mixed is also great with fries.

I totally remember learning something completely new that I felt I should have known years ago the other day, but I've forgotten what that was...

I have learned and am still learning to trust in the Lord. There is no greater feeling or knowledge than to know, even in the darkest of hours, The Lord has your back.

I am not too big on coleslaw, but you got me on the potato salad. I can't go without my homemade potato salad. Grandma makes the best!

I just learned that I missed laughing until it hurts. It's been a long time that I almost forgot how it feels. It is very seldom that you get together with the right crowd where you can laugh like there's no tomorrow.
