What day is it??   ;D ;D ;D

I stopped worrying about it smoke...  When I was wholesaling, everytime I thought about it, it was Thursday...  (thursday was the big work day before the auction)  It seemed that the rest of the week disappeared and it was only Thursday that seemed to be pervasive....

Ciao, CZ

Well, the kids aren't here so it's either Friday and I have left them at the shops, or it's Saturday and they're out with the missus - either way I am enjoying the peace and quiet.
Don't put off until tomorrow, what you can put off until the day after.

There is an exception to every rule, apart from this one.

I cannot travel without knowing the time. I will go crazy if for longer than 5 minutes(or sometimes, what  may seem like 5 minutes) without a sense of time.

I didn't mention that I have an insanely good internal clock. It fascinates people I know and they test me all the time. The most it's usually off is five minutes. I'm a natural beadin' freak of nature ::)

That has been replaced by...a watch.

Nope...no way. I'm like a sideshow. If I can learn to swallow fire, and maybe wash elephants..I'd have a full fledged career.

I don't write lists either. I wrote one this year because I was so disorganized that week, and it nearly ate my soul to do it.

Growing a beard would help too.

But all kidding aside (and a half-hearted attempt to get sort of back on topic), I've always been good at determining the time as well, and not based on external hints like the sun or such.  Just my internal clock.  That's why the few times I have smoked up, it really threw me for a loop because of the time dilation.

er..I'll pass.

I'm pretty sure that was the reasoning for the original guy I mentioned :D ..he was in a constant state of dilation.

that's a neat ability to be able to do that.

Well aside from that, and aside from being able to grow a beard.  ::)

I meant having that innate sense of time.  ;) :)

I'd so totally ask you for the time every other minute to see if your time is keeping up with my watch. ;D

yes, I can't grow a beard :(

I can tie a cherry stem with my tongue. But neither that, or the time trick have made me rich :D

You couldn't trick me everyday..because then I'd expect it. What really bugs people is if they wait a couple of months, and then spring it on me, and I still get the time right. I am easily amused ::)

You are awesome Skadi.  I can barely remember how to tie knots with my hands.

Yes, OC1, my Girl Scouts skills have withered away.
