Factlet of the day

[ishte]

Not that I'll probably come up with any of these every day, but this one needed to be shared.

At St. Helen's School in Newbury, Ohio, unicycling is a mandatory subject. The students are allowed to ride their unicycles in the halls between classes. Collisions are surprisingly few.

And people say Ohio sucks? HA! Ohio, my friends, is awesome!

I don't feel old when that happens. Just important. Hee. I totally don't have things like that make me feel old. I have good balance. I can stand on one foot and pull my other one up to hug it against my chest so... *shrug*

It makes you feel important? Well yeah I did feel rather tickled that the man remembered me after all that time and still called me 'The First Aid lady' At least the lessons stuck and he's repeating them to his son. I guess that's the most important thing.

Yeah well give me a tree and I can balance on one branch for as long as it takes. On one leg though.....got a problem there...especially with this inherited inner ear problem.

No no! Disqualified! *points points* We're not talking about just balancing on one leg either. One leg on the ground, one pulled all the way up to your chest,hugged tight tight tight and stand there. You can't use inner ear problems as an excuse for why you can't do things either. I already have had that problem for many many years. I refuse to use things like that as excuses for why I can't do anything ... Evar! Never ever ever. Those are things to overcome, not things to excuse me from being able to do anything in the world. (though I do worry about flying... *rolls eyes* not that I want to without a dragon anyway.)

Can't stand on one leg with other pulled up tight to chest. Balance is off. Trust me I've tried, repeatedly.

*LOL* I've been on planes twice....ain't going back up again....like you I'd do so with me dragon, but that's it.

Well I've taught myself how to do tiling, including using the alleged scary wet saw. A lot of gals would never touch 'those scary tools' *snort* Just wear sunblock, a hat,protective goggles and watch your fingers...you'll be fine.

Seems like every month I'm coming up with a new challenge for me to conquer. This month? Trying to not do everything at once, which makes the blood pressure soar through the ceiling. Yesterday was the wake up call when I almost passed out driving home.

Relax....relax...relaaaaaax....I said relax damn it. *grinning sheepishly*
