Things I do not understand...

Why do fingernails grow like weeds in the spring/summer time?  My diet hasn't changed really.  Does increased amounts of pate and cheese accelerate fingernail growth?  No really, I need to know!  I know it has nothing to do with sunshine, as we haven't seen enough of that to make any difference with anything of late.

Why do you need an entire day off to prepare  green salad?

    It's a salad.

    You are having guests to dinner on a Friday night, and the main course is steak, which your husband is grillling.  You're getting off easy by not having to prepare the actual meal at graduation. Hmmm...come to think of it, with graduation on a Saturday, why do you need Monday off, too?  No bother, I've just amended my calendar to do the same, although I will actually be preparing food...to serve to more people...people who, like me, cannot stand the sound of gum snapping.

The metric system.
No really, I simply just do not get it.  Why was there such a big push for it in Europe?  Why didn't it take off in the US?  Are we just too simple to embrace the math?  Or smart for refusing to do so?

Finally, what are we going to do as a whole when Oprah goes off the air?  Has she simply made enough other people famous so that we won't miss her so much in her absence?  Will the Doctors and Dr. Oz and Dr. Phil be enough?  Does anyone even watch them?

Ok...I always feel better after a little purge.
Thanks a million!
