Hey peeps! I just finished my ethics class this week, and all I have left is my major project, which should finish mid December, and you can stick a fork in me, cuz I'm gonna be done with this degree.  I've got to finish strong, as I tend to wimp out on the end of things just to be done.  And I'm kinda in a funk probably for that reason. This is my third fall and holiday season shot to crapola because of school. It will be done in two months, so there's that. Then I'll have to find another excuse for being a crotchedy old man.

 So, I thought I'd share some recent stupid stuff I've been saying when I think I'm making a point. I seriously believe I'm saying something profound. Most of it involves math. Why do I even bother?

Wedding Storage

Me:  I cannot believe my stepdaughter's mother wants to store that cake in our house. It's hotter than hell! Really, even with the air conditioning, it's 80 degrees. That's like 20 degrees from boiling!

China Population

Me:  Hey, Mikalsylvine is over in China now.  There's like 6 billion people in China.

Hub:  (laughs, then chokes on his laughter) Um, that's the population of the entire world.

Me: (trying to recover) Oh, whose to say they all weren't there at the time? Don't limit me...or them.

Sweetener Shortage

Background Info:  We are cutting back on grocery shopping to every other week to see if it helps the budget.

Me:  Oh, crap. I'm almost out of Splenda. Well, when I run out, I'm gonna have to do it like the pioneers did.

Hub:  (laughs) Yeah, forget about the starvation, the weather etc.. It was running out of artificial sweetener packets that caused them hardship.
