There are days where my thoughts are merely questions….questions that I cannot seem to answer on my own, and therefore I need to beg the assistance of my brilliant friends and followers. Here are my questions. Feel free to answer any or all and thank you in advance:
1. Where do mosquitos go when it rains? (because I want to live there!)
2. What is scientology?
3. Why do the “non-workers” get bonuses/raises/promotions?
4. Why is it that I use the same exact ingredients as the Chef, but mine turns out a tad above crappy and his turns out GORGEOUS and DELICIOUS?
5. Why do we think raising our arms 6 inches will make the cell phone work better?
6. Does anyone ever find Alex Trebek to be funny? (he’s brilliant, yes, but funny???)
7. Will Elijah Woods ever look like anything but a hobbit to me?
8. Would Channing Tatum like to become my pool boy?
9. If the heat is because we’re closer to the sun, why is it the layer where a plane flies is freezing?
10. If I nap for an hour in the afternoon I feel groggy and sluggish….why don’t dogs look drugged after each nap?
As a reward for reading my blog and answering these life’s questions…here are some more pins from the daughter!! Enjoy and Happy Bloggin Ya’ll!!
I’ll tackle a couple.
1. Where do mosquitoes go in the rain?
They keep flying: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XWyoy44oV3Q
9. If the heat is because we’re closer to the sun, why is it the layer where a plane flies is freezing?
The sun is so far away that the change in distance to the sun when we are up in a plane doesn’t make a real difference. Simple answer: The sun warms the layers of the atmosphere, and that’s a lot of what warms us. Up where planes fly the atmosphere is really thin. Less air = less heat.
6. Does anyone ever find Alex Trebek to be funny?
When I met him he wasn’t wearing shoes, only socks. He had slammed his foot in the car door that morning and it hurt to put shoes on. So we’re having what is supposed to look like a serious discussion while the credits are rolling, and we’re really discussing whether his lack of shoes is noticable on camera. That’s the funniest I’ve got.
Wow, that’s a lot of information about mosquitos and rain! Thanks for that…who knew? haha. And ahhh, less air means less heat. OK! And too funny about Alex Trebek! Glad to hear he’s as clumsy as some of us!
Thanks for tackling these questions!!
Ok – Here goes my 2 cents:
1. Where do mosquitos go when it rains? (because I want to live there!)
IDK. But – something tells me I would NOT want to live there.
2. What is scientology?
What is it?
3. Why do the “non-workers” get bonuses/raises/promotions?
I’m a workaholic. So- I will never find out. Woe is me for always wanting to keep busy.
4. Why is it that I use the same exact ingredients as the Chef, but mine turns out a tad above crappy and his turns out GORGEOUS and DELICIOUS?
At least you try…
5. Why do we think raising our arms 6 inches will make the cell phone work better?
I thought that was exercise
6. Does anyone ever find Alex Trebek to be funny? (he’s brilliant, yes, but funny???)
Not funny at all
7. Will Elijah Woods ever look like anything but a hobbit to me?
LOL
8. Would Channing Tatum like to become my pool boy?
I had to look him up. I’m bad with names.
9. If the heat is because we’re closer to the sun, why is it the layer where a plane flies is freezing?
I slept in class during that lesson.
10. If I nap for an hour in the afternoon I feel groggy and sluggish….why don’t dogs look drugged after each nap?
Mine does
Ya know, my number one question made perfect sense to me when I typed it, but not so much anymore. Wonder why I wanted to live where they hide out? hehehe…guess that was my blonde moment of the day. No offense blondies. LOL at number 5! And OMG RoSy, seriously? You had to research Channing?????? Two words for you…MAGIC MIKE! hahaha. Love your answer to #9, guess I did too and oh, your poor puppy LOL. Thanks so much for the laughs today!
I’m sure Channing Tatum would be more than happy to be your pool boy! I mean, why wouldn’t he?
Right??!! Could you please have his people call mine…I’m ready for him to come over. hahaha!
Number 2 is a tricky question which could trigger some nasty discussion. But as a Christian, I view scientology as no more than a cult.
Number 5 is true in some cases. These phones transmit and receive at very high frequencies where the physical wavelength is only millimeters. There are what is known as Lobes in the signal pattern that comes from a transmission antenna. There are stronger areas and weaker areas of signal the further you and your phone are from the transmitting antenna. The further away, the more weak spots, or lulls, in the signal coverage, and stronger areas of signals. Due to the high frequency range of cell phones, a movement of just 2 foot could produce a significant change in received signal strength, and the ability of the cell tower to “hear” your phone and retransmit your phone call.
Thanks John….and wouldn’t you know, right after I posted this I heard that the son of the founder of scientology just died from a high fever…102. I think I’m going to have to research all this, I really know nothing about it. But, it appears as if medicine is banned?? Not trying to cause a “nasty discussion” just really want to know. Thanks for replying and very interesting stuff on the cell phone reception!
I heard of the fella dying this eve whilst at the nail salon with my wife, this sucks. That scientology is dangerous stuff. I have been in Ham Radio for 20+ years, so I have a good understanding of radio signal propagation, attenuation and feedline systems as well as the physics of it. It’s a cool hobby…
I looked all over the internet to find an article on it, but could only find the suicide in (I believe) the 80′s of a 22 year old man who was said to be a son of the Scientology founder. If this is the same father, wow. I’ll have to do some more research later today. And wow, I’ve heard of ham radio, but know nothing about it. Does sound like a cool hobby!
I’d not be surprised to find that our disgusting MSM has dona all possible to bury this story about the young man. Most media in this country no longer has a shred of integrity.
Due to the fact I am not 100% sure I could answer any of the above accurately – I figured I would just ‘like’ what you had put.. Also? i particularly like the ‘PDF converter’ pin at the bottom
PDF converter?? Either you just got autocorrected and you meant WTF, or you clicked on an advertisement. THANKS! hahahaha…
Haha It was an advertisement, it was my attempt at being funny.. i will try harder next time!
Aw, I’m sorry I didn’t get it. Maybe if I would have seen the ad. But maybe not, I seem to be a bit slower on the weekends. LOL.
I really do not know any of these answers for you, so I will pose 2 for you to ponder.
Where does the white go when snow melts?
If our tires are constantly worn down by driving on pavement, why are there not piles of rubber on the road?
Oh my, those are good ones Jim! I would like to say I know the answers, but being Monday morning…let me stop fibbing. I wouldn’t know any morning!
